<br />WITNESSED:
<br />WHEREAS, the Maintaining Agency has the authority to enter into this Agreement and to undertake the maintenance and
<br />operation of traffic signals or signal systems on the State Highway System, and the Department is authorized under Sections 334.044
<br />and 335.055, Florida Statutes, to enter into this Agreement, and,
<br />WHEREAS, the Maintaining Agency has authorized its undersigned representative to enter into and execute this Agreement;
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein to be undertaken by the
<br />respective parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
<br />mutually agree and covenant as follows:
<br />1. The Maintaining Agency shall be responsible for the maintenance and continuous operation of the traffic signals, traffic signal
<br />systems (central computer, cameras, message signs, modems, and communications interconnect), flashing school zone traffic control
<br />devices, intersection control beacons, warning beacons, illuminated street name signs, and the payment of electricity and electrical
<br />charges incurred in connection with operation of such traffic signals and signal systems upon completion of their installation. The
<br />Department agrees to pay to the Maintaining Agency, an annual compensation based on Department's fiscal year for the cost of the
<br />maintenance and continuous operation of full traffic signal locations and intersection control beacons as identified in Exhibit A. Warning
<br />beacons, emergency signals, and flashing school zone signals are not included. Payments will be made in accordance with Exhibit B.
<br />Should the Maintaining Agency withdraw from the compensation portion of this Agreement; the Maintaining Agency will still be
<br />responsible for the maintenance and continuous operation of the above items. In the case of construction contracts, the Maintaining
<br />Agency shall be responsible for the payment of electricity and electrical charges incurred in connection with the operation of the traffic
<br />signals and signal systems, and shall undertake the maintenance and continuous operation of said traffic signals and signal systems
<br />upon final acceptance of the installation by the Department. Prior to any acceptance by the Department, the Maintaining Agency shall
<br />have the opportunity to inspect and request modifications/corrections to the installation(s) and Department agrees to undertake those
<br />prior to acceptance so long as the modifications/corrections comply with the contract and specifications previously approved by both the
<br />Department and Maintaining Agency. Repair or replacement and other responsibilities of the installation contractor and the
<br />Department, during construction, are contained in the Department's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.
<br />2. The Maintaining Agency shall maintain and operate the traffic signals and signal systems in a manner that will ensure safe and
<br />efficient movement of highway traffic and that is consistent with maintenance practices prescribed by the International Municipal Signal
<br />Association (IMSA) and operational requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), as amended. The
<br />Maintaining Agency's maintenance responsibilities shall include, but not be limited to, preventive maintenance (periodic inspection,
<br />service and routine repairs), and emergency maintenance (trouble shooting in the event of equipment malfunction, failure, or damage).
<br />The Maintaining Agency shall record its maintenance activities in a traffic signal maintenance log.
<br />3. The Maintaining Agency may remove any component of the installed equipment for repair; however, it shall not make any
<br />permanent modifications and/or equipment replacements unless the equipment provided is capable of performing at minimum the same
<br />functions. The Department shall not make any modifications and/or equipment replacements without prior written notice to and
<br />consultation with the Maintaining Agency.
<br />4. The Maintaining Agency shall set and maintain the timing and phasing of the traffic signals in accordance with the
<br />Department's timing and phasing plans, specifications, or special provisions. The Maintaining Agency shall obtain prior written approval
<br />from the Department for any modification in phasing of signals. Signal Systems timings (cycle length, split, offsets) are considered
<br />operational changes and may be changed by the Maintaining Agency to accommodate changing needs of traffic. The Maintaining
<br />Agency may make changes in the signal timing provided these changes are made under the direction of a qualified Professional
<br />Engineer registered in the State of Florida. The Maintaining Agency shall make available a copy of the timings to the Department upon
<br />request. The Department reserves the right to examine equipment, timing and phasing at any time and, after consultation with the
<br />Maintaining Agency, may specify modifications. If the Department specifies modification in timing and/or phasing, implementation of
<br />such modifications shall be coordinated with, or made by, the Maintaining Agency.
<br />5. The Maintaining Agency shall note in the maintenance log any time/phasing changes and keep a copy of the timings and any
<br />approval documentation in a file.
