The UAO shall be responsible for all costs of the portion of Utility Work that is not reimbursable which the <br />FDOT does not elect to participate in under Section 337.403(1)(b), Florida Statutes and all costs <br />associated with any adjustments or changes to the Utility Work determined by the FDOT's engineer to be <br />necessary, including, but not limited to the cost of changing the Plans Package and the increase in the <br />cost of performing the Utility Work, unless the adjustments or changes are necessitated by an error or <br />omission of the FDOT. The UAO shall not be responsible for the cost of delays caused by such <br />adjustments or changes unless they are attributable to the UAO pursuant to Subparagraph 4.a. <br />c. At such time as the FDOT prepares its official estimate, the FDOT shall notify the UAO of the amount of <br />the official estimate for the Utility Work. Upon being notified of the official estimate, the UAO shall have <br />five (5) working days within which to accept the official estimate for purposes of making deposits and for <br />determining any possible contribution on the part of the FDOT to the cost of the Utility Work, or to elect to <br />have the Utility Work removed from the FDOT's contract and performed separately pursuant to the terms <br />and conditions set forth in Subparagraph 2. d. hereof. <br />At least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date on which the FDOT advertises the Project for bids, the <br />UAO will pay to the FDOT an amount equal to the portion of the FDOT's official estimate which is not <br />reimbursable; plus the percentages established by the notice given under Subparagraph 1.a.(1) for <br />mobilization of equipment for the Utility Work, additional maintenance of traffic costs for the Utility Work, <br />and for administrative costs of field work, tabulation of quantities, Final Estimate processing and Project <br />accounting (said three amounts for mobilization, maintenance of traffic and administrative costs to be <br />hereinafter collectively referred to as the Allowances); plus 10% of the official estimate for a contingency <br />fund to be used as hereinafter provided for changes to the Utility Work during the construction of the <br />Project (the Contingency Fund). <br />e.

The FDOT will notify the UAO as soon as it <br />becomes apparent the accepted bid amount plus allowances and contingency is in excess of the <br />advance deposit amount; however, failure of the FDOT to so notify the UAO shall not relieve the UAO <br />from its obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on final accounting as provided herein below. <br />In the event that the UAO is obligated under this Subparagraph 3.f. to pay an additional amount and the <br />additional amount that the UAO is obligated to pay does not exceed the Contingency Fund already on <br />deposit, the UAO shall have sixty (60) calendar days from notification from the FDOT to pay the <br />additional amount, regardless of when the accepted bid is posted. <br />g. If the accepted bid amount plus allowances and contingency for the non -reimbursable Utility Work is less <br />than the advance deposit amount, the FDOT will refund the amount that the advance deposit exceeds the <br />bid amount plus allowances and contingency if such refund is requested by the UAO in writing and <br />approved by the Comptroller of the FDOT or his designee. <br />h. Should contract modifications occur that increase the UAO's share of total project costs, the UAO will be <br />notified by the FDOT accordingly.
