Utility Work exceeds the amount of the deposit made pursuant to subparagraph c.

established by subparagraph 2. c. hereof regarding FDOT participation in the cost
of the Utility Work and the UAO's election to remove the Utility Work from the
Project, the UAO shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from notification from the
FDOT or priorto posting of the accepted bid, whichever is earlier, pay an additional
amount to the FDOT to bring the total amount paid to the total obligation of the UAO
for the cost of the Utility Work, plus Allowances and 10% Contingency Fund. The
FDOT will notify the UAO as soon as it becomes apparent the accepted bid amount
plus allowances and contingency is in excess of the advance deposit amount;
however, failure of the FDOT to so notify the LIAO shall not relieve the UAO from
its obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on final accounting as provided
herein below. In the event that the UAO is obligated under this subparagraph 3.e.
to pay an additional amount and the additional amount that the UAO is obligated to

costs, the UAO will be notified by the FDOT accordingly. The UAO agrees to
provide, in advance of the additional work being performed, adequate funds to
ensure that cash on deposit with the FDOT is sufficient to fully fund its share of the
project costs. The FDOT shall notify the UAO as soon as it becomes apparent the
actual costs will overrun the award amount; however, failure of the FDOT to so
notify the UAO shall not relieve the UAO from its obligation to pay for its full share
of project costs on final accounting as provided herein below.
h. The FDOT may use the funds paid by the UAO for payment of the cost of the Utility
Work. The Contingency Fund may be used for increases in the cost of the Utility
Work which occur because of quantity overruns or because of adjustments or
changes in the Utility Work made pursuant to subparagraph 2. h. Prior to using any
of the Contingency Fund, the FDOT will obtain the written concurrence of the
person delegated that responsibility by written notice from the UAO. The delegatee
shall respond immediately to all requests for written concurrence. If the delegatee

work is necessary, the FDOT may proceed to perform the work and recoverthe cost

calendar day from notification from the FDOT, pay to the FDOT an additional 10%
of the total obligation of the UAO for the cost of the Utility Work established under
subparagraph 3. e. for future use as the Contingency Fund.

complete accounting of all costs incurred in connection with the work performed
hereunder within three hundred sixty (360) days. All project cost records and
accounts shall be subject to audit by a representative of the UAO for a period of
three (3) years after final close out of the Project. The UAO will be notified of the
final cost. Both parties agree that in the event the final accounting of total project
costs pursuant to the terms of this agreement is less than the total deposits to date,
a refund of the excess will be made by the FDOT to the UAO in accordance with
Section 215.422, Florida Statutes. In the event said final accounting of total project
costs is greater than the total deposits to date, the UAO will pay the additional
amount within forty (40) calendar days from the date of the invoice. The UAO
agrees to pay interest at a rate as established pursuant to Section 55.03, Florida
Statutes, on any invoice not paid within the time specified in the preceding sentence
