STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION X UTILITIES UTILITY WORK BY HIGHWAY CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT OGc-06/19 (AT UTILITY EXPENSE) UAO's obligation to defend and indemnify within fourteen (14) days of such notice shall not be excused because of the UAO's inability to evaluate liability or because the UAO evaluates liability and determines the UAO is not liable or determines the FDOT is solely negligent. Only a final adjudication of judgment finding the FDOT solely negligent shall excuse performance of this provision by the UAO. The UAO shall pay all costs and fees related to this obligation and its enforcement by the FDOT. The FDOT's delay in notifying the UAO of a claim shall not release UAO of the above duty to defend. 9. Miscellaneous a. Time is of essence in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement. b. The Facilities shall at all times remain the property of and be properly protected and maintained by the UAO in accordance with the current Utility Accommodation Manual in effect at the time the Plans Package is prepared and the current utility permit for the Facilities; provided, however, that the UAO shall not be obligated to protect or maintain any of the Facilities to the extent the FDOT's contractor has that obligation as part of the Utility Work pursuant to the FDOT's specifications. C. The FDOT may unilaterally cancel this Agreement for refusal by the UAO to allow public access to all documents, papers, letters, or other material subject to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and made or received by the UAO in conjunction with this Agreement. d. This Agreement constitutes the complete and final expression of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, or negotiations with respect thereto, except that the parties understand and agree that the FDOT has manuals and written policies and procedures which may be applicable at the time of the Project and the relocation of the Facilities. e. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any provision hereof found to be unlawful or unenforceable shall be severable and shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof. f.
