STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Form No. 7 S UTTILITIILITI- ES UTILITY WORK BY HIGHWAY CONTRACTOR MASTER AGREEMENT 11/14 (AT UAO AND FDOT EXPENSE COMBINED) service/Deactivated a. The UAO acknowledges its present and continuing ownership of and responsibility for Facilities Placed out of service/Deactivated. b. The FDOT agrees to allow the UAO to leave the Facilities within the right of way subject to the continuing satisfactory performance of the conditions of this Agreement by the UAO. In the event of a breach of this Agreement by the UAO, the Facilities shall be removed upon demand from the FDOT in accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph 5. e. below. c. The UAO shall take such steps to secure the Facilities and otherwise make the Facilities safe in accordance with any and all applicable local, state or federal laws and regulations and in accordance with the legal duty of the UAO to use due care in its dealings with others. The UAO shall be solely responsible for gathering all information necessary to meet these obligations. d. The UAO shall keep and preserve all records relating to the Facilities, including, but not limited to, records of the location, nature of, and steps taken to safely secure the Facilities and shall promptly respond to information requests concerning the Facilities that are Placed out of service/Deactivated of the FDOT or other permittees using or seeking use of the right of way. e. The UAO shall remove the Facilities upon 30 days prior written request of the FDOT in the event that the FDOT determines that removal is necessary for FDOT use of the right of way or in the event that the FDOT determines that use of the right of way is needed for other active utilities that cannot be otherwise accommodated in the right of way. In the event that the Facilities that are Placed out of Service/Deactivated would not have qualified for reimbursement under this Agreement, removal shall be at the sole cost and expense of the UAO and without any right of the UAO to object or make any claim of any nature whatsoever with regard thereto. In the event that the Facilities that are Placed out of service/Deactivated would have qualified for reimbursement only under Section 337.403 (1)(a), Florida Statutes, removal shall be at the sole cost and expense of the UAO and without any right of the UAO to object or make any claim of any nature whatsoever with regard thereto because such a removal would be considered to be a separate future relocation not necessitated by the construction of the project pursuant to which they were Placed out of service/Deactivated, and would therefore not be eligible and approved for reimbursement by the Federal Government. In the event that the Facilities that are Placed out of service/Deactivated would have qualified for reimbursement for other reasons, removal of the out of service Facilities shall be reimbursed by the FDOT as though the Facilities had not been Placed out of service/Deactivated. Removal shall be completed within the time specified in the FDOT's notice to remove. In the event that the UAO fails to perform the removal properly within the specified time, the FDOT may proceed to perform the removal at the UAO's expense pursuant to the provisions of Sections 337.403 and 337.404, Florida Statutes. Except as otherwise provided in Subparagraph e. above, the UAO agrees that the Facilities shall forever remain the legal and financial responsibility of the UAO. The UAO shall reimburse the FDOT for any and all costs of any nature whatsoever resulting from the presence of the Facilities within the right of way. Said costs shall include, but shall not be limited to, charges or expenses which may result from the future need to remove the Facilities or from the presence of any hazardous substance or material in the Facilities or the discharge of hazardous substances or materials from the Facilities. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to require the UAO to indemnify the FDOT for the FDOT's own negligence; however, it is the intent that all other costs and expenses of any nature be the responsibility of the UAO.
