Florida Power & Light Company F=PL February 24, 2006 Diego Medina - 40 CONSTRUCTION, LLC President 3211 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Ste 301 Coral Gables, FL. 33134 Re: ST. TROPEZ ON THE BAY - 200 Sunny Isles Blvd ~ Dear Mr, Medina: Pursuant to your request for a binding cost estimate, and your payment of $0,00 for the non-refundable engineering deposit, our engineering cost estimates have been completed. The binding estimate amount, known also as CIAC (Contribution In Aid of Construction), required by FPL for converting those overhead electric distribution facilities described in your letter to underground, is $142,962,00. This CIAC amount is based on the design shown on the attached FPL engineering drawings dated 2/10/2006, revision O. Any non-FPL requested modifications to these drawings will be billed at an hourly rate of $70.00, This estimate does not include restoration of property affected by the conversion; describing, securing, and recording of easements; clearing of trench routes; or rearrangement of customer service entrances. This estimate includes no costs you may incur from other utilities/pole licensees affected by the conversion. These aspects, as stated before, are the responsibility of the applicant. To fully account for all expenses which are part and parcel of the full cost of conversion and thereby ensure that other FPL customers do not pay for costs associated with your conversion (and likewise you theirs), FPL requires that the entity or person requesting the conversion agree to certain terms and conditions. The following identifies some, but is not limited to, the terms and conditions required of the applicant before commencing with the underground conversion of the overhead electrical distribution system. The applicant must: a. enter into agreements that will accommodate the conversion of other pole licensees (e,g. Tel. Co., CATV); b. describe, secure, and record all easements (along with opinion of title that they are valid), at no cost to FPL, necessary to accommodate the underground distribution system; c. secure all necessary permits before the commencement of construction. d, be responsible for the costs associated with maintaining service to any affeCted customer who refuses to rearrange his/her service entrance to accept service from the underground distribution system; e. agree to be responsible for all restoration of property affected by the installation of the underground system; f. protect FPL from any claim or suit regarding restoration or property affected by the conversion; and g. agree to clear easements of trees and all obstructions that might conflict with construction of the underground system. This binding cost estimate is valid for 180 days, providing there is no work scope change. The 180 day window can be extended for a reasonable period of time for good cause. Should you request FPL to perform the conversion, please sign and return the attached Underground Facilities Conversion Agreement. If you do not request the conversion to be performed, or if the Agreement is not executed and its terms and conditions complied within the specified time period, your $0,00 engineering deposit will be forfeited and the estimate withdrawn. If the agreement is executed and its terms and conditions complied within that time period, FPL will apply the deposit toward the CIAC amount you would owe for the conversion. The remaining amount of $142,962,00 must be paid prior to commencement of construction by FPL. I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me at (305) 987-1626 if you have any questions.
