RE: PORT PERIMETER FENCE REPLACEMENT PHASE II

CHANGE ORDER 2

Mr. Howard,


Regarding our conversation pertaining to the quantity of fencing removed from the contract for Phase 2, I would ask to only break out the labor and concrete for the fencing and terminal post difference from our linear foot price since there was not a separate line item for mobilization at bid time. Mobilization for this project is important to us because, it encompasses the entire project as a whole with living expenses, pier diem, equipment, daily fuel, bonds, office staff, insurance, everything that calculates to "real cost" and is utilized while performing this contract. Without a separate line item for Mobilization, many numerous factors were additionally calculated into our fence pricing, by the foot, that are consumed by daily operational expenses and remain constant.


Upon measuring the fence required to build Phase 2, it is confirmed with Mr. Clyde Joseph that 436' of fence materials will not be purchased and installed out of the 8,449' required bid time. In addition to this, there is 370' of fencing, of which the materials have already been ordered and stored on site, that is asked not to be built at the boneyard for the road expansion. The 370' that will not bebuilt, I have deducted the labor and concrete only but not the materials since they are already stored onsite.


I have attached a breakdown cost for the 436' of fencing for the materials not being purchased, the total linear footage of labor and concrete we allowed at bid time to not install 806' offencing (436' of fencing not required+ 370' offencing not to install at the Boneyard) including the labor and concrete for lea 40' double slide gate not installed for Phase 2 at the Boneyard but to be stored onsite for future use.

** Attached is backup documentation for material cost.

**Man hour quantities are derived from constructing thousands of feet of fencing in long lines, such as this project.


We are asking for a Change Request to deduct the material, labor, and concrete as described above for the fencing and gates left to install for Phase 2 keeping the balance of monies for mobilization and incidentals that were divided into the original unit pricing that will remain constant while performing this contract. I am submitting for Change Order #2 only deducting $13,317.74 for the cost of material, labor, and concrete as described above, with 20 percent of Overhead and Profit on these items that were allowed for at bid time, bringing our contract amount for Phase 2 to $586,170.26


The documentation for the cost of fence materials and concrete are attached in quotes that were ordered for Phase 2.


I thank you for your assistance with this matter.


Respectfully,

The covenant by Lessee to abide by and comply with the Port Manatee Tariff was a material inducement for the Authority to enter into this Lease constituting substantial consideration to the Authority for this Lease, and any failure by Lessee to fully abide by and comply with the then current Port Manatee Tariff, may at the option of the Authority constitute an Event of Default by Lessee entitling the Authority to exercise any or more of the remedies set forth in the paragraph of this Lease entitled “Events of Default.” Lessee acknowledges receipt from the Authority of a copy of the current Port Manatee Tariff.


  18. EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease and provided that no default by Lessee hereunder has occurred and is continuing, the Authority agrees that, during the Term, Lessee shall have exclusive rights to the cargo pad at Port Manatee for the storage of scrap metal and other new dry bulk cargos (with Authority approval).

Nothing contained in this Lease and specifically this indemnification provision is intended to nor shall it be construed as an additional waiver of sovereign immunity beyond the expressed written contractual obligations of the Authority contained within this Lease. Excluded from the Authority’s indemnification obligation are any claims for which the Authority is immune from suit under the doctrine of sovereign immunity or for any amount of a claim exceeding the limitations of liability established by section 768.28, Florida Statutes. Nothing in this Lease may be construed as consent by the Authority to be sued by third Parties in any matter arising out of this Lease.


    2. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, Lessee shall assume control of the defense of any claim asserted by a third party against the Authority for which Lessee is obligated to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Authority under this Section and, in connection of such defense, shall appoint lead counsel in each case at Lessee’s expense. The Authority shall have the right, at its option, to participate in the defense of any third party claim, without relieving Lessee of any of its obligations hereunder. If Lessee assumes control of the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this Section, Lessee shall obtain the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) of the Authority before entering into any settlement of such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Lessee shall not assume or maintain control of the defense of any third party claim, but shall pay the fees of counsel retained by the Authority and all reasonable expenses, including experts’ fees, if (a) an adverse determination with respect to the third party claim would, in the good faith judgment of the Authority, be detrimental in any material respect to the Authority’s reputation; (b) the third party claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Authority; or (c) Lessee has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously the third party claim. Each party shall cooperate, and cause its agents to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any third party claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records and information, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.


    3. The Parties recognize that Lessee is an independent contractor.


  35. GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY. Nothing herein is intended to serve as a waiver of sovereign immunity by Authority nor shall anything included herein, be construed as consent by Authority to be sued by third Parties in any matter arising out of this Lease. Authority agrees to be fully responsible for the acts and omissions of its agents and employees to the extent permitted by law.

  36. NOTICES. All notice(s) required by this Lease or by law shall be given in writing and shall be sent by registered or certified mail by depositing same in the United States Mail in the continental United States, postage prepaid, or by hand delivery or by overnight courier. Any notice mailed as provided hereunder, shall be deemed effective and served as of the date of the mailing. Any notice given by hand delivery or overnight courier shall be deemed effective and served as of the date of delivery. Authority and Lessee shall have the right, by giving written notice to the other, to change the address to which notice(s) are to be mailed or delivered. Until any such change is made, notice(s) shall be mailed or delivered to:

    Lessee shall be required to notify Authority, in writing, whenever there is a change in the address of Lessee (to the place) for which notice is to be sent (giving notice), as required herein. In the event Lessee fails to maintain a current address on record with the Authority as required herein, Authority shall be deemed to have notified Lessee by using the last known address on record and Authority shall not have any responsibility or obligation to investigate the validity of the address that Lessee has provided. As a result, Lessee agrees to hold Authority harmless and defend same for any action or occurrence or non-occurrence as a result of Lessee not receiving notice due to Lessee’s failure to update its address for notification.


  37. LEASE ADMINISTRATION. The Authority hereby authorizes the Executive Director of Port Manatee, or his designee, to administer the terms and conditions of this lease on behalf of the Authority and to make all managerial decisions on behalf of the Authority as they relate to the provisions of this Lease.

  38. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. Each of the Parties hereto covenants to the other party hereto that it has lawful authority to enter into this lease, that the governing body of each of the Parties has approved this lease and that the governing body of each of the Parties has authorized the execution of this lease in the manner hereinafter set forth.


  39. COUNTERPARTS; SIGNATURES. This Lease will become effective upon the Effective Date, if the Lease has been executed by all of the undersigned. This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which constitutes an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Lease may be executed by electronic signature technology and such electronic signature shall act as the Parties’ legal signatures on this Lease and shall be treated in all respects as an original handwritten signature.


  40. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE. The enforcement of this Lease and the interpretation of all provisions contained herein shall be controlled and governed by the laws of the State of Florida. In the event of any dispute hereunder, the Parties agree that sole and exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute shall lie in the Circuit Court of the 12th Judicial Circuit in Manatee County, Florida. Sole and exclusive venue for any civil action or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease shall be in the Circuit Court of the 12 th Judicial Circuit in Manatee County, Florida.


    The Authority and Lessee recognize that this Lease involves relatively complex business transactions; that this Lease is lengthy and its terminology is technical in nature and thus may be especially susceptible to misinterpretation; and in the event of a dispute as to rights and obligations hereunder, a Judge rather than a jury would be the most efficient and qualified tr ier of fact. Accordingly, the Parties are each desirous of leaving their respective rights to a jury trial with respect to any litigation or other legal proceedings relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Lease or its subject matter as follows:


    EACH PARTY BY EXECUTION HEREOF DOES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE, FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, ANY RIGHT WHICH EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEEDING WHETHER AT LAW OR INEQUITY BASED ON THIS LEASE, ANY AMENDMENT OR ADDITION TO THIS LEASE, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS, PRINCIPALS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. NEITHER PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THIS PROVISION IS MATERIAL AND MUTUAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE.

  41. ATTORNEYS FEES. If any legal action or other proceedings (judicial or otherwise), including but not limited to any trial proceeding or appellate proceeding, are brought for the enforcement of this Lease, or because of any dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any provision of this Lease, the successful or prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover all costs incurred, including pre-suit costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs (at trial and on appeal).


  42. AMENDMENTS. No modifications, amendments, or alterations in the terms or conditions contained herein shall be effective unless contained in a written document prepared with the same formality and of equal dignity as this Lease and executed by Authority and Lessee.


  43. WAIVER AND DELAY. No waiver or delay in enforcing the terms of this Lease shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No waiver of any portion of this Lease shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is asserted.


  44. INTERPRETATION. The captions and headings contained in this Lease are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Lease. Whenever used in this Lease, the singular number will include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender will include all genders. The word including is to be construed without limitation unless otherwise expressly provided. References to specific law must be construed as including any and all laws, which subsequently amend, extend, consolidate, or replace the specific laws involved. References to specific standards, codes of practice, and/or guidelines must be construed as including any and all amendments, supplements, redrafts, and/or substitutes. This Lease is the product of mutual drafting, each party having been represented by or having the opportunity to be represented by counsel, and therefore shall not be construed against either party. This Lease, including all exhibits and addenda attached to this Lease, and other documents referenced in this Lease contain the complete Lease of the Parties for the Demised Premises. As used in this Lease, “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday recognized by Port Manatee in its Tariff.


  45. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Neither Authority nor Lessee intend to directly or indirectly benefit a third party by this Lease. Therefore, Authority and Lessee agree that this Lease does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than Authority.


  46. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Lease shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions of this Lease.


  47. EMINENT DOMAIN. If during the term of this Lease there is any taking of any portion of the Demised Premises by eminent domain or condemnation that materially affects the demised property for the development, construction or operation of Lessee, in accordance with the paragraph of this Lease entitled “Purpose,” in the Authority’s reasonable determination, Lessee

    may terminate this Lease whereupon the Parties will be relieved from further liability under this Lease. Prior to any termination of Lease, the Authority will endeavor to provide facilities and acreage equivalent in size, value, and utility to the portion of the Demised Premises taken by eminent domain or condemnation. The Authority will be entitled to any compensation awarded for any taking, whether for the whole or a portion of the Demised Premises, for the Authority’s fee simple title interest and future rent loss. Lessee will be entitled to any compensation awarded for any taking, whether for the whole or a portion of the Demised Premises, improvements installed by Lessee that were taken, for Lessee’s leasehold interest, Lessee’s moving expenses, and the value of Lessee’s trade fixtures.


  48. FORCE MAJEURE AND ABATEMENT OF PAYMENTS.


    1. The Parties stipulate that Force Majeure shall not include the novel coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. Acts, events, incidents or occurrences which would constitute a breach or default by Lessee under the provisions of this Lease which happen or occur solely as a result of acts of God, natural disasters or other circumstances which Lessee could not have foreseen that happen or occur through no action, fault, inaction, negligence or other conduct by Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees, invitees, licensees, servants, or subcontractors will not be deemed a breach or default by Lessee of this Lease. Except to the extent set forth below, the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to acts, events, incidents or occurrences caused by business events, economic factors or market conditions affecting or impacting upon Lessee or the activities and operations of Lessee upon the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall immediately take every reasonable effort or step to cure, remove or restore the conditions caused by any such act, event, incident or occurrence so that the activities, facilities and operations of Lessee upon the Demised Premises are placed as nearly as practicable in the condition and at the level as same existed prior to any such act, event, incident or occurrence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following will be considered force majeure events under this Lease: The taking of the quarry and/or operations of Lessee’s source(s) of materials permitted to be brought into Port Manatee under this Lease for public or quasi-public use under any statute or decree or by right of eminent domain, by condemnation or by private purchase in lieu thereof by a body vested with the power of eminent domain, or by any governmental authority or person acting under governmental authority, or by expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or other similar event.


    2. If a special event of force majeure occurs, the Parties shall confer and agree upon the extent thereof, methods facilitation or removing such event and possible modifications to this Lease. If said matters are not agreed upon in writing within ninety (90) days after the date of such event, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease without penalty upon Lessee giving the Authority written notice of said termination.


  49. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous written or oral negotiations, agreements, bids, and/or understandings. There are no understandings, representations, warranties, or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof unless set forth explicitly in this Lease.
