FORCE MAJEURE AND NOTICE OF DELAY FROM FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform under this Agreement if such delay or failure is neither the fault nor the negligence of the Party or its employees or agents and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond the Party's control, or for any of the foregoing that affects subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available. However, in the event of delay from the foregoing causes, the Party shall take all reasonable measures to mitigate any and all resulting delay or disruption in the Party's performance obligation under this Agreement. If the delay is excusable under this paragraph, the delay will not result in any additional charge or cost under the Agreement to either Party. In the case of any delay Agreement believes is excusable under this paragraph, Grantee shall notify the Commission's Grant Manager in writing of the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either: (1) within ten (10) calendar days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if Grantee could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result; or (2) within five (5) calendar days after the date Grantee first had reason to believe that a delay could result, if the delay is not reasonably foreseeable.

The Commission, in its sole discretion, will determine if the delay is excusable under this paragraph and will notify Grantee of its decision in writing. No claim for damages, other than for an extension of time, shall be asserted against the Commission. Grantee shall not be entitled to an increase in the Agreement price or payment of any kind from the Commission for direct, indirect, consequential, impact, or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency arising because of delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If performance is suspended or delayed, in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in this paragraph, after the causes have ceased to exist, Grantee shall perform at no increased cost, unless the Commission determines, in its sole discretion, that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Agreement to the Commission or the State, in which case, the Commission may do any or all of the following: (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from Grantee, provided that Grantee grants preferential treatment to the Commission with respect to products or services subjected to allocation;. (2) purchase from other sources (without recourse to and by Grantee for the related costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the products or services that are the subject of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Agreement quantity; or (3) terminate the Agreement in whole or in part. 35.

Each patch reef will consist of the aforementioned artificial reef materials placed into two designated locations within the boundaries of the permitted area (SAJ-2016-02916) at a depth of 50-56 ft. The artificial reef construction activity to be funded consists of the following elements: MATERIALS 1. Artificial reef materials must consist of a total of at least 500 tons of clean secondary - use concrete material, and at least 10 pre -fabricated concrete reef modules deemed acceptable to the COMMISSION. All artificial reef materials shall be clean and free from excess dirt, asphalt, creosote, petroleum, or other hydrocarbons and toxic residues, loose free floating material or other deleterious substances. All 10 reef modules must be at least 8 feet tall with a base diameter of at least 10 feet and weigh at least 2 tons. 2. Individual secondary -use artificial reef materials shall weigh a minimum of 500 lbs. and measure a minimum three feet in diameter. The GRANTEE shall evaluate the structural integrity of each concrete unit proposed for use, and shall eliminate from artificial reef material consideration all fragile material that would be prone to break apart into pieces less than 500 pounds in weight during the handling and transport process. Reef material with extensive exposed rebar will either be eliminated from consideration or the rebar will be cut back by the selected contractor as close to the concrete surface as possible, within six inches or less of the units' concrete surface prior to transport. 3. Pre -fabricated modules must be composed of marine grade concrete with a minimum strength of 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi). Pre -fabricated modules shall consist of concrete with no exposed metal framework. Pre -fabricated modules will be designed with multiple openings of various sizes all the way through the outer surface to allow for water circulation and access by fish. 4. Open -bottom pre -fabricated reef modules may not be used unless the module has a top opening sufficiently large to allow for turtle escapement. Approved open -bottom modules include: a. Three -sided modules where each side of the top opening is at least 36 -in in length along its edge. b. Four or more sided modules where each side of the top opening is at least 40 -in in length along its edge. c. Modules with a round opening with a diameter of at least 40 -in (oval openings are not allowed unless a 40 -in diameter circle space can fit within the oval).

B. BACKGROUND Chapter 379.249 F.S. creates the Florida Artificial Reef Program to enhance saltwater opportunities and to promote proper management of fisheries resources associated with artificial reefs for the public interest. Under the program, the COMMISSION may provide grants and financial and technical assistance to coastal local governments, state universities, and nonprofit corporations qualified under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for the siting and development of artificial reefs as well as for monitoring and evaluating such reefs and their recreational, economic, and biological effectiveness. Chapter 68E-9 F.A.0 defines the procedures for submitting an application for financial assistance and criteria for allocating Version 1.0 — June 2013 Attachment A, Page 5 of 12 Attachment A — SCOPE OF WORK Project Name: Indian River County FWC Agreement No. 18101 Artificial Reef Construction 2018-19 available funds. The purpose of this rule is to govern the development of state and federally funded artificial reefs, the review and ranking of project applications eligible for funding, and the administration of funds from the Florida Artificial Reef Program. This artificial reef construction project was selected for funding by the COMMISSION based upon ranking of competitive applications submitted to the Artificial Reef Program pursuant to the criteria for allocating funds described in Chapter 68E-9, F.A.C. C. SUPPORT OF COMMISSION MISSION Construction of this artificial reef will augment marine hard bottom habitat with well-planned stable and durable artificial reefs for purposes of providing near shore reef fish habitat, offshore recreational fishing and diving opportunities, reduced pressure on natural reef and hard bottom sites, and reduced user conflicts by providing additional recreational fishing and diving site locations off of Florida's coastal waters. The proposed artificial reefs will make fisheries resources available for the long term benefit of local Florida residents and visitors. D. DEFINITIONS The terms and abbreviations used herein shall have the meanings as defined below. i. "Artificial reef' means one or more manufactured or natural objects intentionally placed on the bottom in predominantly marine waters to provide conditions believed to be favorable in sustaining, or enhancing the spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity of Florida's managed reef associated fish species as well as to increase the productivity of other reef community resources which support fisheries. Included in this definition are artificial reefs developed with one or more of the following additional objectives: enhancement of fishing and diving opportunities, fisheries research, and fisheries conservation/preservation purposes. ii. "Permitted area" means an area with discrete boundaries inside of which one or more artificial reefs may be located and for which all required permits and authorizations have been obtained. These permits and authorizations include: artificial reef permits issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and/or the Army Corps of Engineers and other permits, licenses, or authorizations required by any governing body. iii. "Staging area" means a land-based holding area for artificial reef material where such material is stored and prepared for transportation to an approved artificial reef site. 2. DELIVERABLES A. Deliverable #1 (Artificial Reef Construction) Construction of a marine artificial reef by deploying at least at least 500 tons of approved concrete material and 10 reef modules in two patch reefs within the Orchid Island Artificial Reef Complex permitted area.

The payroll register should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable. (2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown. Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of checks for fringe benefits. (3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher. (4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. (5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be reimbursed on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be reasonable. (6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the calculation should be shown. For cost reimbursement contracts with another State agency (including State universities): In lieu of the detailed documentation described above, alternative documentation may be submitted to substantiate the costs requested to be reimbursed. This alternative documentation may be in the form of FLAIR reports or other reports containing sufficient detail.
