of $3,986,059.00. In order to facilitate the restoration of the landscaping and irrigation systems
along Bayshore Golf Course impacted by FPL's activities, FPL agreed to provide additional

Course (i.e., the original scope of work) and will also encompass the north side of Chase Avenue
from Alton Rd to 34" Street and 34" Street from Chase Avenue to just west of Prairie Avenue where
