NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the City and HOA hereby agree as follows: 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The above Recitals are hereby made a part of this Agreement and expressly incorporated by reference herein. 2. Project. The City shall be responsible for designing, developing, permitting and constructing the Project in accordance with all City procurement and applicable laws, and the budget for the Project shall reflect such requirements. The City shall be responsible for entering into the contract with the architect-engineer, the construction contractor, and any ancillary professionals or other vendors required to complete the Project and related improvements. The City's Office of Capital Improvements Projects shall serve as the Contract Administrator. 3. Procurement of Contractor and Schedule for the Project. a. Following the execution of this Agreement, the City shall issue a formal competitive bid ("Invitation to Bid" or "ITB") for a general contractor ("GC") with the requisite license and experience necessary to construct the Project. In accordance with the City's procurement requirements, the award of the ITB shall be to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The HOA shall be invited to the bid opening. b. Before the Administration makes a recommendation to the Mayor and City Commission with respect to the award of the ITB, the City shall provide the HOA with the opportunity to review the pricing submitted by the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, to permit the HOA to verify whether the proposed pricing (including a standard 10% contingency for covering unforeseen Project costs) is in line with the anticipated construction cost estimates and available HOA Contribution for the Project. c. In recognition that the City Appropriation is not sufficient to fund the Project and that the HOA Contribution is critical to the City's ability to move forward with the Project, as proposed, within thirty (30) days following the ITB bid opening, the HOA shall, at its reasonable discretion, either: 2 1) confirm that the HOA has reviewed the bid pricing received from the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder for the Project, and that the HOA approves the Project and the HOA Contribution; or 2) request that the City make scope reductions to the Project, in an amount necessary for the Project to be completed with the available funding (the City Appropriation and HOA Contribution); or 3) decline to proceed with the HOA Contribution to the Project, in which case the City Administration shall, based on the lack of funding forthe overall Project, reject bids, and in such event, the City may thereafter work with the HOA to identify potential options for moving forward with the Project, or any portion thereof, if any, or cancel the Project. d. The City shall not proceed with the Project (or any portion thereof) until such time as (1) the HOA confirms its agreement with respect to the Project and the HOA Contribution; (2) the City has received the advance deposit of the HOA Contribution, as provided in Section 4 below; and (3) the City Commission, at its sole and absolute discretion, approves the award of a contract for construction and authorizes the Administration to proceed with the Project(or any portion thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the City shall have no obligation to proceed with the Project, except as may be authorized by the City Commission, at its sole discretion. e. With respect to the schedule for the Project, the City anticipates that following the issuance of the ITS, the City will execute the contract for construction and issue a notice to proceed to the contractor to authorize the commencement of construction activity ("Notice to Proceed")by January 4, 2019, at the earliest. f. Assuming the City and HOA agree to move forward with the Project, the City shall notify the HOA prior to the issuance of a Notice to Proceed, so that the HOA may keep residents informed as to the commencement of construction for the Project. The City shall, on a monthly basis, provide the HOA with an update as to the progress of construction. 4. Payment of the HOA Contribution to the City. The HOA shall pay the City the HOA Contribution by November 1, 2018, prior to the City Commission's award of the contract for construction of the Project, which the City anticipates will occur no earlier than November 14, 2018. The City shall account for the HOA Contribution separately from its other funds, in a restricted special revenue fund, for use solely by the City for the payment of Project costs for the design, permitting and construction of the Project, as provided herein. For purposes of payment of the Project costs, the City Appropriation shall be applied first, prior to the HOA Contribution. In the event that the Project is constructed for less than the estimated total Project cost (including, for example, if any contingency funds remain at the conclusion of the Project), any unused portion of the HOA Contribution shall be returned to the HOA within 60 days following (i) the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project and (ii) receipt of a certificate of final payment/release of all claims from the construction contractor. In the event the Project experiences additional 3 Project costs in excess of the 10% contingency, the City shall diligently work with the HOA to either identify additional funds or adjust the project scope, as necessary. 5.
