Docugign Envelope ID: A50351E1-5303-437E-99C1-329F1E98858A <br />regulations, but Indian River agrees that it shall not demand, request, or suggest any additional <br />crossing -related improvements beyond those reflected in Exhibits B and C during this process. If, <br />after considering Indian River's input, FDOT determines that the Submissions are approvable or <br />that a design exception or waiver of existing requirements or regulations is warranted, MOT shall <br />discuss the design exceptions or waivers with Indian River and after discussions Indian River <br />agrees to accept that determination. For avoidance of doubt, in the event of a dispute between <br />Indian River and MOT as to whether particular revisions are needed to render the Submissions <br />approvable or whether design exceptions or waivers are appropriate, FDOT's written approval <br />determination to the County and Brightline on the issue shall control. Once FDOT has approved <br />the Submissions, Indian River shall separately approve the maintenance of traffic plan, as <br />necessary to comply with Local requirements and regulations. In addition, before Brightline <br />commences construction at any Indian River Crossing which will require work within Indian <br />River's right-of-way, Brightline shall also apply for and obtain an Indian River right-of-way permit <br />for each such crossing. Indian River agrees that, upon submission of each completed application, <br />the application(s) shall be reviewed for conformance with the approved Submissions and the right- <br />of-way permit shall be issued. No security requirement shall be required; however, Brightline shall <br />cause its general contractor to add Indian River as an additional obligee of any performance bond <br />obtained by the general contractor(s) performing the crossing -related work, with such additional <br />obligee rights being limited to the value and scope of the crossing -related work to be performed at <br />the Indian River Crossings within Indian River's right-of-way. If Indian River fails to approve <br />Brightline's maintenance of traffic plans or issue a specific right-of-way permit as required herein <br />within five (5) business days of receiving the applications, and said failure is not cured within three <br />(3) business days of receipt of written notice thereof, Brightline shall have no obligation under this <br />Agreement to install or pay for any of the Additional Crossing Improvements associated with the <br />particular application for the specific crossing and may immediately proceed with construction <br />work at Indian River Crossings within the FECR ROW without providing any additional notice or <br />opportunity to cure under Section 6 below. <br />(d) For the Indian River Crossings which do not involve County Roadways, <br />Indian River shall cooperate with Brightline in its efforts to obtain any approval and/or permit <br />needed from third -parties for any crossing -related work. If Brightline, after making reasonable <br />efforts for a period of not less than thirty (30) calendar days, is unable to obtain any necessary <br />approval or permit for such work, it shall have no obligation under this Agreement to install or pay <br />for any Additional Crossing Improvements at such locations. <br />(e) FECR shall not be required to apply for or obtain approval of any <br />maintenance of traffic plan or permit for any of the Planned or Additional Crossing Improvements <br />Indian River Fencing. <br />(a) In accordance with FRA requirements and the FEIS, Brightline shall <br />perform a Hazard Analysis within the timeframe provided by 49 C.F.R. § 270. That Hazard <br />Analysis shall include an evaluation designed to determine the locations within Indian River where <br />fencing of the FECR ROW is required or recommended for safety. Indian River shall not have <br />any role in performing the Hazard Analysis. Brightline shall not be obligated to provide Indian <br />River a copy of the Hazard Analysis in view of 49 C.F.R. § 270 which provides that the Analysis <br />is confidential and exempt from disclosure. Brightline shall instead provide Indian River with a <br />list of the locations within Indian River where fencing of the FECR ROW was determined to be <br />-3- <br />
