to comply with the provisions hereof.
(2) The Local Government currently is not the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, or

would currently restrain or enjoin it from entering into, or complying with, this Agreement.
(3) There is no material action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in
equity, before any court or public body, pending or, to the best of the Local Government's
knowledge, threatened, which seeks to restrain or enjoin the Local Government from entering
into or complying with this Agreement.

Agreement have been obtained for construction and use of the Project. The Local Government
knows of no reason why any future required permits or approvals are not obtainable.

extent permitted by law.
(6) To the extent permitted by law, the Local Government shall release and hold
harmless the State, its officers, members, and employees from any claim arising in connection

and construction activities financed by this Loan or its operation of the Project.
(7) All Local Government representations to the Department, pursuant to the Loan
Application and Agreement, were true and accurate as of the date such representations were

annual budget to be insufficient to make the Semiannual Loan Payments for such Fiscal Year
when due, the Local Government shall include in such budget other legally available non -ad
valorem funds which will be sufficient, together with the Pledged Revenues, to make the
Semiannual Loan Payments. Such other legally available non -ad valorem funds shall be
budgeted in the regular annual governmental budget and designated for the purpose provided by
this Subsection, and the Local Government shall collect such funds for application as provided
herein. The Local Government shall notify the Department immediately in writing of any such
budgeting of other legally available non -ad valorem funds. Nothing in this covenant shall be
construed as creating a pledge, lien, or charge upon any such other legally available non -ad
valorem funds; requiring the Local Government to levy or appropriate ad valorem tax revenues;
or preventing the Local Government from pledging to the payment of any bonds or other
obligations all or any part of such other legally available non -ad valorem funds.

established in Section 10.07, a certification that: (a) Pledged Revenue collections satisfy, on a

the Monthly Loan Deposit.
(13) The Local Government covenants that this Agreement is entered into for the purpose
of constructing, refunding, or refinancing the Project which will in all events serve a public
purpose. The Local Government covenants that it will, under all conditions, complete and
operate the Project to fulfill the public need.
(14) The Local Government shall update the revenue generation system annually to
assure that sufficient revenues are generated for debt service; operation and maintenance;

design capacity and performance during its design life; and to make the system financially self
sufficient.

laws of the State of Florida. Such moneys may be pooled for investment purposes. The maturity

modifications and improvements shall become part of the Stormwater System.
5.07. COLLECTION OF REVENUES.
The Local Government shall use its best efforts to collect all rates, fees and other charges

From and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Department shall have a lien on
the Pledged Revenues, which along with any other Department State Revolving Fund liens on
the Pledged Revenues, on equal priority, will be prior and superior to any other lien, pledge or
assignment with the following exception. All obligations of the Local Government under this
Agreement shall be junior, inferior, and subordinate in all respects in right of payment and
security to any additional senior obligations issued with the Department's consent pursuant to
Section 7.02. Any of the Pledged Revenues may be released from the lien on such Pledged
Revenues in favor of the Department if the Department makes a determination, based upon facts
deemed sufficient by the Department, that the remaining Pledged Revenues will, in each Fiscal
Year, equal or exceed 1.15 times the debt service coming due in each Fiscal Year under the
terms of this Agreement.
7.02. ADDITIONAL DEBT OBLIGATIONS.
The Local Government may issue additional debt obligations on a parity with, or senior
to, the lien of the Department on the Pledged Revenues provided the Department's written
consent is obtained. Such consent shall be granted if the Local Government demonstrates at the
time of such issuance that the Pledged Revenues, which may take into account reasonable
projections of growth of the Stormwater System and revenue increases, plus revenues to be
pledged to the additional proposed debt obligations will, during the period of time Semiannual
Loan Payments are to be made under this Agreement, equal or exceed 1.15 times the annual
combined debt service requirements of this Agreement and the obligations proposed to be issued
by the Local Government and will satisfy the coverage requirements of all other debt obligations
secured by the Pledged Revenues.
ARTICLE VIII - GENERAL PROVISIONS

All payments required to be made under this Agreement shall be cumulative and any
deficiencies in any Fiscal Year shall be added to the payments due in the succeeding year and all

Government shall have paid, or shall have made provision for the timely payment of, the entire
principal amount of the Loan, and as applicable, Loan Service Fee, interest, and Grant Allocation
14
Assessment charges, the pledge of, and lien on, the Pledged Revenues to the Department shall be
no longer in effect. Deposit of sufficient cash, securities, or investments, authorized by law,
from time to time, may be made to effect defeasance of this Loan. However, the deposit shall be

Department. There shall be no penalty imposed by the Department for early retirement of this
Loan.
8.02. PROJECT RECORDS AND STATEMENTS.
Books, records, reports, engineering documents, contract documents, and papers shall be

agreements between the Department and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This
Agreement may be amended after all construction contracts are executed to re- establish the
Project cost, Loan amount, Project schedule, and Semiannual Loan Payment amount. A final
amendment establishing the final Project costs and the Loan Service Fee based on actual Project
costs shall be completed after the Department's final inspection of the Project records.
8.06. ANNULMENT OF AGREEMENT.
The Department may unilaterally annul this Agreement if the Local Government has not
drawn any of the Loan proceeds within eighteen months after the effective date of this
Agreement. If the Department unilaterally annuls this Agreement, the Department will provide
written notification to the Local Government.
15
8.07. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.
If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had not
been contained herein.
8.08. USE AS MATCHING FUNDS.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has provided a class deviation from the
provisions of 40 CFR 35.3125(b)(1) to allow these second tier funds to be used as local matching
requirements for most EPA grant funded treatment works projects, including special
Appropriations Act projects.
8.09. COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION.
(1) The Local Government shall periodically interview 10% of the work force entitled to
Davis -Bacon prevailing wages (covered employees) to verify that contractors or subcontractors
are paying the appropriate wage rates. Local Governments shall immediately conduct interviews
in response to an alleged violation of the prevailing wage requirements. As provided in 29 CFR
5.6(a)(5) all interviews must be conducted in confidence. The Local Government must use
Standard Form 1445 or equivalent documentation to memorialize the interviews. Copies of the
SF 1445 are available from EPA on request.
(2) The Local Government shall periodically conduct spot checks of a representative
sample of weekly payroll data to verify that contractors or subcontractors are paying the
appropriate wage rates. The Local Government shall establish and follow a spot check schedule
based on its assessment of the risks of noncompliance with Davis -Bacon posed by contractors or
subcontractors and the duration of the contract or subcontract. At a minimum, if practicable, the
subrecipient should spot check payroll data within two weeks of each contractor or
subcontractor's submission of its initial payroll data and two weeks prior to the completion date
of the contract or subcontract. Local Governments must conduct more frequent spot checks if
the initial spot check or other information indicates that there is a risk that the contractor or
subcontractor is not complying with Davis - Bacon. In addition, during the examinations the Local
Government shall verify evidence of fringe benefit plans and payments thereunder by contractors
and subcontractors who claim credit for fringe benefit contributions.
(3) The Local Government shall periodically review contractors and subcontractors use
of apprentices and trainees to verify registration and certification with respect to apprenticeship
and training programs approved by either the U.S Department of Labor (DOL) or a state, as
appropriate, and that contractors and subcontractors are not using disproportionate numbers of
laborers, trainees, and apprentices. These reviews shall be conducted in accordance with the
schedules for spot checks and interviews described in items (1) and (2) above.
(4) Local Governments must immediately report potential violations of the Davis -Bacon
prevailing wage requirements to the EPA Davis -Bacon contact Sheryl Parsons at
Parsons.Sheryl @epamail.epa.gov and to the appropriate DOL Wage and Hour District Office
listed at http :HSWw.dol.gov /whd/america2.htm.
16
8. 10. AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL REQUIREMENT.
The Local Government's subcontracts must contain requirements that all of the iron and
steel products used in the Project are in compliance with the American Iron and Steel
Requirement as described in H. R. 3547, "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014" unless the
Local Government has obtained a waiver pertaining to the Project or the Department has advised
the Local Government that the requirement is not applicable to the Project.
8.11. FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY PLAN (FSP).
The 2014 amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) require a
recipient of a Loan for a project that involves the repair, replacement, or expansion of a treatment
works to develop and implement a Fiscal Sustainability Plan (FSP) or certify that it has
developed and implemented such a plan.
Under Section 603(d)(1)(EO(i) of that act, the Local Government shall (i) develop and
implement a Fiscal Sustainability Plan that includes: an inventory of critical assets that are a part
of the treatment works; an evaluation of the condition and performance of inventoried assets or
asset groupings; a certification that the recipient has evaluated and will be implementing water
and energy conservation efforts as part of the plan; and a plan for maintaining, repairing, and, as
necessary, replacing the treatment works and a plan for funding such activities; or (ii) certify that
the recipient has developed and implemented a plan that meets the requirements under (i).
At a minimum, the FSP shall include: an inventory of critical assets that are part of the
Project funded by this agreement; an evaluation of the condition and performance of these assets;
a certification that the assistance recipient has evaluated and will be implementing water and
energy conservation efforts as part of the plan; and a plan for maintaining, repairing, and, as
necessary, replacing the treatment works and a plan for funding such activities.
A FSP certification is a certification by the Local Government that the FSP has been
developed and is being implemented. For systems that self - certify under Section
603(d)(1)(E)(ii), certification is due at the time of loan closing. For systems developing an FSP
under Section 603(d)(1)(E)(i), the requirement to develop and implement an FSP is a condition
of the Loan Agreement and is due before the final disbursement is approved.

risks as are customary for the operation of Revenue Producing Facilities of like size, type and
location to the extent such insurance is obtainable from time to time against any one or more of
such risks.
The proceeds of insurance policies received as a result of damage to, or destruction of,
the Project or the other Revenue Producing Facilities, shall be used to restore or replace damaged
portions of the facilities. If such proceeds are insufficient, the Local Government shall provide
additional funds to restore or replace the damaged portions of the facilities. Repair, construction

18
ARTICLE X - DETAILS OF FINANCING
10.01. PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF LOAN.
The estimated principal amount of the Loan is $4,613,500, which consists of $4,554,300
to be disbursed to the Local Government and $59,200 of Capitalized Interest.
Capitalized Interest is not disbursed to the Local Government, but is amortized via
periodic Loan repayments to the Department as if it were actually disbursed. Capitalized Interest
is computed at the Financing Rate, or rates, set for the Loan. It accrues and is compounded
annually from the time when disbursements are made until six months before the first
Semiannual Loan Payment is due. Capitalized Interest is estimated prior to establishing the
schedule of actual disbursements.
10.02. LOAN SERVICE FEE.
The Loan Service Fee is estimated as $91,086 for the Loan amount authorized to date.
The fee represents two percent of the Loan amount excluding Capitalized Interest amount; that
is, two percent of $4,554,300. The Loan Service Fee is estimated at the time of execution of the
loan agreement and shall be revised with any increase or decrease amendment. The Loan
Service Fee is based on actual Project costs and assessed in the final loan amendment. The Local
Government shall pay the Loan Service Fee from the first available repayment(s) following the
final amendment.
Capitalized Interest is computed on the assessed Loan Service Fee at the Financing Rate,
or rates and included in the final amendment. It accrues and is compounded annually from the
final amendment date until six months before the first Semiannual Loan Payment is due.
10.03. FINANCING RATE.
The Financing Rate on the unpaid principal of the Loan amount specified in
Section 10.01 is 1.18 percent per annum. The Financing Rate equals the sum of the interest rate
and the Grant Allocation Assessment Rate. The interest rate is 0.59 percent per annum and the
Grant Allocation Assessment rate is 0.59 percent per annum. However, if this Agreement is not
executed by the Local Government and returned to the Department before January 1, 2016 the
Financing Rate may be adjusted. A new Financing Rate shall be established for any funds
provided by amendment to this Agreement.
10.04. LOAN TERM.
The Loan shall be repaid in 40 Semiannual Loan Payments.
10.05. REPAYMENT SCHEDULE.
The Semiannual Loan Payment shall be computed based upon the principal amount of the
Loan plus the estimated Loan Service Fee and the principle of level debt service. The
Semiannual Loan Payment amount may be adjusted, by amendment of this Agreement, based
upon revised information. After the final disbursement of Loan proceeds, the Semiannual Loan
W6
Payment shall be based upon the actual Project costs, the actual Loan Service Fee and Loan
Service Fee capitalized interest, if any, and actual dates and amounts of disbursements, taking
into consideration any previous payments. Actual Project costs shall be established after the
Department's inspection of the completed Project and associated records. The Department will
deduct the Loan Service Fee and any associated interest from the first available repayments
following the final amendment.
Each Semiannual Loan Payment shall be in the amount of $132,384 until the payment
amount is adjusted by amendment. The interest and Grant Allocation Assessment portions of
each Semiannual Loan Payment shall be computed, using their respective rates, on the unpaid
balance of the principal amount of the Loan, which includes Capitalized Interest. Interest (at the
Financing Rate) also shall be computed on the estimated Loan Service Fee. The interest and
Grant Allocation Assessment on the unpaid balance shall be computed as of the due date of each
Semiannual Loan Payment.
Semiannual Loan Payments shall be received by the Department beginning on
September 15, 2018 and semiannually thereafter on March 15 and September 15 of each year
until all amounts due hereunder have been fully paid. Funds transfer shall be made by electronic
means.
The Semiannual Loan Payment amount is based on the total amount owed of $4,704,586,
which consists of the Loan principal and the estimated Loan Service Fee.
10.06. PROJECT COSTS.
The Local Government and the Department acknowledge that the actual Project costs
have not been determined as of the effective date of this Agreement. Project cost adjustments
may be made as a result of construction bidding or mutually agreed upon Project changes.
Capitalized Interest will be recalculated based on actual dates and amounts of Loan
disbursements. If the Local Government receives other governmental financial assistance for
this Project, the costs funded by such other governmental assistance will not be financed by this
Loan. The Department shall establish the final Project costs after its final inspection of the
Project records. Changes in Project costs may also occur as a result of an audit. The Local
Government agrees to the following estimates of Project costs:
