NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations set forth, the COUNTY and CITY agree as follows: 1. Insofar as it may be lawful to do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of any Consumptive Use Permit issued to the COUNTY by the SFWMD, and pursuant to the terms herein, the COUNTY shall sell and deliver to the CITY, and the CITY shall purchase and receive from the COUNTY potable water necessary to fulfill the water requirements of the CITY during the effective period of this Contract. Potable water obtained by the CITY from the COUNTY may be utilized to serve the CITY 's customers in its existing water service area or future water service area(s) that the CITY is legally authorized to serve. 2. Notwithstanding the obligations of Paragraph 1 above, if the COUNTY should have an insufficient supply of water available to fulfill the total requirements of all customers of the COUNTY due to prohibitions, restrictions, limitations or requirements of local, state or federal governments having jurisdiction over such matters or due to any other cause beyond the COUNTY'S control including but not limited to those specifically set forth in Paragraph 21 below, the COUNTY shall be deemed to have fully performed its duties and to have discharged its obligations if it furnishes and delivers the CITY 's pro rata share based on the percent of the total COUNTY water supply consumed by the CITY. The COUNTY will not be discriminatory in its delivery of water service. The COUNTY shall give expeditious notice to the CITY whenever the COUNTY becomes aware of conditions which could reasonably lead to an outage or shortage of such potable water supply or which may bring about such condition. 3.

MacArthur Causeway Watson Island b. Venetian Causeway San Marco Island c. Julia Tuttle Causeway NE 36 Street d. Normandy Isle 71 Street West Bay Drive e. 87 Street Byron Avenue (with approval of all affected cities, future location for bi-directional emergency interconnection) Additional points of delivery may be established at such times and places as shall be mutually agreed by the Director of the Department and the CITY. The CITY shall bear the entire cost and expense of establishing each such additional point of delivery, obtaining such easements as may be needed and furnishing all necessary labor and materials required to connect with the COUNTY'S main, all in accordance with plans and specifications which are subject to approval of the COUNTY, Which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed In the event an additional point of delivery is outside of the jurisdictional limits of the CITY, the COUNTY agrees to assist with obtaining easements or such other project elements as may be beyond the CITY'S ability to secure, such costs to be borne by the CITY. The CITY will supply and install meter(s) and transfer ownership to the COUNTY. The CITY shall convey to the COUNTY, by appropriate bill of sale, as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, and Grants of Easements, all of the CITY'S right, title and interest in and to the tees or crosses in the feeder mains, meters, meter vaults and all piping, valves and appurtenances between and including the aforesaid tees or crosses and the valve immediately on the discharge side of the meters. The COUNTY shall thenceforth own, control, operate and maintain such facilities. Readings of each meter at all points of delivery shall be taken by the COUNTY on or about the 28th day of each month and shall be used for monthly billing purposes under the provisions of Paragraph 11 below. The COUNTY provides water service to 601 N.E. 36th Street after the point of delivery to the CITY at N.E. 36th Street. Therefore, the consumption of water that registers on the water meters for that address shall be deducted from the COUNTY's invoice to the CITY and appropriate billing/consumption data will be provided to the CITY substantiating the billing amount. 5. The Parties agree and warrant that their respective water distribution and transmission system and any extensions shall be City of Miami Beach Water Service Contract 3 constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the requirements of all applicable federal, state, county and other local laws, rules and regulations. The operation and maintenance of all facilities on the CITY side of the meters shall be the responsibility of the CITY. Upon reasonable notice that the CITY is in violation of this Agreement, the CITY shall provide the COUNTY with access to the CITY's distribution and transmission system to review and inspect. Said inspections shall be made at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice in such manner as to least disturb the normal operation of the CITY. Such inspection results shall be promptly communicated to the CITY. 6. In order for the COUNTY to adequately plan for future water demands, within 90 days following execution of this contract and on or before each January 1 thereafter, the CITY shall submit to the COUNTY the CITY's projected annual water needs for the next five years. Within 120 days of the COUNTY'S receipt of the CITY'S projected annual water needs for the next five years, the COUNTY will notify the CITY of the COUNTY's ability or inability to meet such needs, which is subject to local, state and federal agencies and regulatory bodies, including Department of Environmental Resources Management, jurisdiction over such matters. The City agrees that the COUNTY shall not be liable or in any way responsible for any cost, claims or losses incurred by the CITY as a result of actions by regulatory bodies. 7. The COUNTY shall own, operate and maintain metering stations at the points of delivery listed above which will measure all potable water delivered by the COUNTY to the CITY. The metering stations shall be of standard make and type installed in a readily accessible location with checking or calibration devices. The installation shall indicate flow with an error not to exceed plus or minus two percent of full scale reading (true accuracy). The Department, at its sole expense, shall check the accuracy of each metering installation once every six months or at such other time intervals as it may deem appropriate. The Department shall provide the results of the checking to the City's Public Works Director no later than thirty (30) days after the meter is checked. Such checking shall be at a reasonable time, mutually agreeable to the Department and the CITY. If found to be in error exceeding two (2) percent of true accuracy, the meter shall be recalibrated to the satisfaction of the parties. If such error of more than two (2) percent is discovered, bills for the periods following the prior meter accuracy check shall be adjusted to reflect the quantity of over-read or under-read exceeding two (2) percent. In City of Miami Beach Water Service Contract 4 calculating such billing adjustment it will be assumed that the meter inaccuracy existed for the entire time interval between meter accuracy tests. The billing adjustment shall be made at the same rate in effect during the period of meter inaccuracy. 8. The CITY may request and the COUNTY agrees to perform a meter accuracy test at any reasonable time acceptable to both parties. If the meter is found to be in error exceeding two percent true accuracy, it shall be recalibrated as described above and the entire cost for such testing and recalibration shall be paid for by the COUNTY. If the meter is found performing within two (2) percent true accuracy, the meter accuracy test shall be paid for by the CITY within thirty (30} days of receiving the COUNTY's invoice. 9. In the event of complete or partial failure of any meters to register the CITY's water consumption, the COUNTY and the CITY shall mutually agree upon a method to establish consumption based on historic meter readings when the meter(s) operated properly. To the extent possible, the COUNTY shall repair all failed meters within thirty (30) days of the determination that the meter has completely or partially failed. 10. It shall be the obligation and duty of the CITY to transmit the water at its own expense from each point of delivery to the place or places of ultimate use and, in so doing, to supply and impart to the water such adequate pressure and flow as may be necessary to provide adequate pressure at all points beyond such points of delivery. The daily flows to be delivered to the City through the water transmissions mains located in the MacArthur, Venetian, Julia Tuttle Causeways and Normandy Isle 71St Street/West Bay Drive shall be at pressures in the range of 50-55 prig. In the event that the pressure on the COUNTY'S point of delivery drops to the low pressure telemetry alarm level setting of 40 psig, the COUNTY shall immediately notify the City Police, Public Works and Fire Departments of such low pressure alarm condition. The COUNTY shall provide at least a 72 hour notice before any planned decrease in pressure which would affect the City's ability to deliver water services to any of its customer. The COUNTY agrees to assist with the emergency flow conditions to the extent possible. 11. The CITY shall pay to the COUNTY, as compensation for the treatment and transmission of all water delivered to the CITY, a monthly charge for such service based on a uniform rate for the COUNTY'S volume customers. The rate shall be calculated for each Department fiscal year based on projections from the prior City of Miami Beach Water Service Contract 5 Department fiscal year and based on the sum of the following: (a) That portion of all budgeted annual operating and maintenance expenses, including taxes assessed, if any, for the COUNTY'S regional water system divided by the projected total amount of flow used to bill all the COUNTY'S water customers over the same time period. (b) That portion of the budgeted annual renewal and replacement expenses for the COUNTY'S regional water system divided by the total projected amount of flow used to bill all the COUNTY water customers over the same time period. (c) That portion of the COUNTY's budgeted annual interest obligations of outstanding notes and bonds for the COUNTY'S regional water system divided by the projected total amount of flow used to bill all the COUNTY water customers over the same time period. (d) That portion of the budgeted annual charge for the amortization of the COUNTY'S outstanding notes and bonds for the COUNTY'S regional water system, to be consistent with the requirements under law, divided by the total projected amount of flow used to bill all the COUNTY'S water customers over the same time period. (e) That portion of the budgeted annual charge for customer accounting and service, for the COUNTY'S regional water system divided by the total projected amount of flow used to bill all the COUNTY'S water customers over the same time period. (f) That portion of projected annual administration and general expenses, for the COUNTY'S regional water system, divided by the total projected amount of f low used to bill all the COUNTY'S water customers over the same time period. (g) That portion of the charge for debt service coverage requirement for bond issues for the COUNTY'S regional water system divided by the total projected amount of flow used to bill all the COUNTY'S water customers over the same time period. 12. The CITY shall comply with COUNTY Ordinance No. 06-177. The COUNTY may impose a surcharge on the use of such amounts of water by the CITY as could be conserved by the CITY through the implementation of a conservation plan, provided that the surcharge is applied uniformly to all customers of COUNTY. The COUNTY will attempt to provide the CITY with a preliminary surcharge rate a minimum of six (6) weeks prior to the adoption of a surcharge. The City of Miami Beach Water Service Contract 6 amount of the surcharge is subject to the review and approval of the Board of County Commissioners. Water conservation is necessary to meet the public water supply demands of the COUNTY. Funds collected through a surcharge will be maintained by the COUNTY as a designated Water Conservation Fund and those surcharge funds collected from the CITY will be applied specifically to water conservation efforts and programs in the CITY up to the amount collected from the CITY, in addition to any other Countywide conservation programs being undertaken by the COUNTY. 13. The CITY recognizes that the County intends to implement a peak flow rate structure. If imposed, such rate shall also be equally imposed on all water customers, both retail and wholesale. Such rate shall be imposed only after completion of an analysis and review process that is completed in partnership with the CITY. Any peak flow rate charge imposed shall be identified specifically on all water use bills. 14. The COUNTY grants the CITY the right to audit all Department records related to the computation of the rates for each fiscal year. Upon written notice, the COUNTY shall make available for the CITY such records at the offices of the Department on an annual basis. In the event that such audit indicates any discrepancy between the rates used by the COUNTY in computing the monthly service charges to the CITY and the amount paid by the CITY determined as a result of the audit, the COUNTY shall make the necessary adjustments, as mutually agreed upon, in subsequent billings to the CITY to correct any identified discrepancies. The audit must be completed on or before the end of each fiscal year for which the rates apply. Adjustments shall not be made for prior fiscal years. 15. Billings for services provided in accordance with this contract shall be rendered monthly. Invoices will be mailed by the tenth day of the month following the month for which service has been provided, based on meter readings taken by Department employees on or about the 28th day of each month. Amounts billed on such invoices are due when rendered. In the event the CITY disputes a bill, the CITY shall provide the COUNTY with notice of the reasons for non-payment within thirty (30) days of receipt of the bill and shall escrow such portion of the bill that is disputed in an interest-bearing account. The parties shall promptly meet and use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days of the notice. Except for any portion of a bill disputed by the CITY, payments not received by the Department on or before City of Miami Beach Water Service Contract 7 twenty-five (25) days after the postmark date of the bill shall be considered past due. All past due invoices shall be subject to a late charge as established by the COUNTY, such charge to reimburse the Department for costs in processing and otherwise administering late payments. In addition, per annum interest shall accrue on the past due charges including the late charges at the maximum legal rate provided by Florida law for contracts in which no interest rate is specified, for each day, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, from the past due date until the date of receipt by the Department. For purposes of this paragraph, date of receipt shall be the date of actual receipt by the Department if hand delivered or mailed, or date of transfer to the Department's bank, if electronic funds transfer is used. 16. Any and all suits brought by either party shall be instituted and maintained in any court of competent jurisdiction in Miami-Dade County, Florida. In all such suits, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive reasonable costs and reasonable attorney's fees. 17. The CITY shall accept delivery of water transmitted at a flow rate as nearly uniform as practical throughout each daily 24- hour period during December, January, February, March, April and May of each year and at all such other times when the daily quantity of water delivered shall exceed the average daily quantity delivered during the preceding six (6) months set forth above. The COUNTY shall have the right to make tests as it shall deem reasonably necessary, and at such times as reasonably deemed to be appropriate, to determine to what extent the maximum 60-minute sustained demand imposed upon the facilities of the COUNTY by the requirements of the CITY is exceeding the average daily demand for the same month. For the purpose of making each such test and of ascertaining and utilizing the result to give effect to the provisions of this Paragraph, the COUNTY shall use a recording flow meter or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA} installed at each of the points of delivery provided for in Paragraph 4 above. 18. In the event that the maximum 60-minute sustained demand between the hours of 6:00 am and 9:00 pm as shown simultaneously on all recording flow meters or SCADA considered collectively-shall exceed one hundred sixty (160} percent of the average daily demand for the same month, the COUNTY shall notify the CITY in writing providing the CITY with ten (10) days to reduce the demand to less than one hundred sixty (1601 percent of the average daily demand. City of Miami Beach Water Service Contract 8 If no such reduction occurs, the COUNTY shall have the right to increase the rate per thousand (1,000) gallons of water, for all water delivered during the month in which such test is made, by one (1) percent of the rate for each four (4) percent or major fraction thereof (2.5) percent by which the maximum 60-minute sustained demand shall exceed one hundred sixty (160) percent of the average daily demand. No increase in rate provided for in this paragraph shall be applied during any period of time when any of the transmission, storage or pumping facilities of the CITY are not available for service due to reasons beyond the control of the CITY such as water main breaks, major emergencies/scheduled maintenance at the water plant or fires. 19. To the extent no property taxes are charged to the County on other properties of the Regional System located in the CITY, no property taxes shall be levied or collected by the CITY upon the properties of the Department. 20. Any cessation of water services and any consequences caused by force majeure, inevitable accident or occurrence or cause beyond the reasonable control of either Party, shall not constitute a breach of this Contract and neither party shall be liable to the other or its inhabitants or customers for any damage resulting from such cessation or interruption of water service. Force majeure shall mean an act of God which includes but is not limited to sudden, unexpected or extraordinary forces of nature such as floods, washouts, storms, fires, earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes, epidemics, explosions or other forces of nature, strikes, lockouts, other industrial disturbances, wars, blockades, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, federal, state, governmental restrictions, regulations and restraints, military action, civil disturbances, or conditions in federal, or state permits. Neither party shall be liable for its failure to carry out its obligations under the contract during a period when such party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by force majeure or inevitable accidents or occurrences to carry out such obligations, but the obligations of the party or parties relying on such force majeure shall be suspended only during the continuance of any inability so caused and for no longer period of an unexpected or uncontrollable event, and such cause shall, so far as possible, be remedied with all reasonable dispatch. It is further agreed and stipulated that the right of any party to excuse its failure to perform by reason of force majeure shall be conditioned upon such City of Miami Beach Water Service Contract 9 party giving, to the other party written notice of its assertion that a force majeure delay has commenced within ten (10) working days after such commencement, unless there exists good cause for failure to give such notice, in which event, failure to give such notice shall not prejudice any party's right to justify any non- performance as caused by force majeure unless the failure to give timely notice causes material prejudice to the other party. 21. In accordance with the provision of County Ordinance No. 89-95, as amended, the CITY shall not render water service, sewer service or both to any new retail user until a written receipt from the Department is provided to the CITY and said connection charges shall be due prior to the issuance of a building permit. In the event that the CITY provides water or sewer service, or both, to any new retail user without first ensuring that connection charges are paid, the CITY shall be liable for damages to the COUNTY in the amount of the connection charges owed by the retail user. 22. In consideration of good and valuable consideration received from the COUNTY and in consideration of the covenants in this Contract, the CITY, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and save harmless forever, the COUNTY, its officers, agents and employees from all claims, liability, actions, loss, cost and expense, including attorney's fees, which may be sustained by the COUNTY, it officers, agents, and employees due to, caused by, or arising from the negligence of the CITY its officers, employees and agents in connection with the performance of this Contract.
