level of noise reduction that the Homeowner will experience within the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements performed as part of the
Program.
a. The County agrees that its contract with the Contractor will include
standard one (1) year warranties from the Contractor for all materials and workmanship.
Such one -year warranty period shall commence as of the time of the acceptance of the
work as provided for in Paragraph 9. In addition, the Program Manager will provide the
Homeowner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 4 of 21
Homeowner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the construction
of the Program Improvements. The Homeowner understands that the warranty policies

product manufacturers. The Homeowner understands that it is solely responsible for
pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Homeowner shall be solely

coordinate any required warranty service and agrees to look solely to the general
contractor or the product manufacturer for fulfillment of all warranties and for resolution
of all product or construction warranty issue(s):

construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Homeowner's inquiry arises during the one -
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Homeowner believes that warranty service is required
with respect to construction warranty issues, and the one -year warranty period from the
general contractor has expired;
(3) The Homeowner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, the advertised warranty period for the product has
not expired, and the manufacturer is currently conducting its business; and
(4) The Homeowner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.

required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Homeowner for any and all
present Pre - Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
14. Suspension of Program Process The Program process
may be temporarily suspended at any time during the design and /or
construction phases upon the discovery of Deficiencies due to their potential
impact on the Program Improvements and product warranties. The
Program process will not resume until the Homeowner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Homeowner will be liable
to the County for any and all damages and all direct and indirect costs due
to delay and /or stoppages of the work.
15. Limitation on Alterations to the Property The Homeowner
agrees not to make alterations, or to permit any tenant occupying any
portion of the Property to make alterations to the existing windows, doors
and /or walls from the time of the Design process until the construction of the
Program Improvements have been completed. Exceptions to this rule must
Homeowner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 5 of 21
be pre- approved in writing by the Program Manager. Failure to adhere to
this requirement may, at the option of the Program Manager in its sole
discretion, result in an immediate suspension of the construction of the
Program Improvements on the Property. The Homeowner will be liable to
the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.

reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
pre & post construction noise testing, the Homeowner agrees to provide
access to their property for testing and agrees to not to make alterations to
the interior of their property (with the exception of repairs of Deficiencies)
from the time of the pre- construction noise test to the post- construction
noise test. In an effort to insure consistent noise data collection, the
Homeowner also agrees to preserve the interior layout of furniture, floor
coverings and window treatments from the time of the pre - construction
noise test to the post- construction noise test. The Homeowner understands
that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in corruption of the
noise testing data. Therefore, the Homeowner understands they may be
liable to the County for any direct and indirect noise testing costs in the
event these requirements are not met.

Homeowner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 6 of 21
21. Cooperation in Clearing Title Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Homeowner shall
cooperate with the County in order to (i) correct any title defects affecting
the Property which are disclosed by the "Abstract of Title" and in the sole
determination of the County may serve to invalidate the Easement, and (ii)
secure the written consent of any and all mortgage holders to the
Homeowner's conveyance of the Easement to the County if the County
determines that it is necessary or desirable to do so (collectively, the "Title
Matters "). If, prior to the commencement of construction of the Program
Improvements, the County, in its sole discretion, determines that the Title
Matters affecting the Property may invalidate the Easement, this Agreement
shall be null and void, and the Easement shall be terminated.
22. Federal Assurance As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Homeowner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Homeowner shall subject the construction work on the project
to such inspection and approval during the construction of the Program Improvements
and after completion of the Program Improvements as may reasonably be requested by
the Program Manager and /or Monroe County.

Contractor at the Homeowner's sole risk and expense. The County
assumes no responsibility for the condition of the material, equipment or
surrounding surfaces as a result of the owner - requested salvage. The

construction, agree upon and execute a document listing those items to be
salvaged. In the absence of such a written agreement, all items shall
become the property of the Contractor. Materials and equipment not listed
for salvage by the Homeowner shall become the property of the Contractor.

expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Homeowner understands
that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk insurance will
cease and it is advisable for the Homeowner to obtain insurance to cover
any value added to the Property by the Program.
26. Timing and Effects of Construction The Homeowner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Homeowner

time.

responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer as a
condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.

breach of any term, covenant or condition hereof shall be construed as, or
constitute, a waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any other, further or
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.

cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Homeowner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Window Sill Replacement Due to the thickness of the new aluminum acoustical
double -hung windows, existing sills may need to be replaced as a part of the installation
process. Existing wood sills will be replaced by new wood sills. Existing tile sills will be
replaced by new marble sills.
B. Door Threshold Heights Due to stringent Florida hurricane impact and water
infiltration building codes, all new aluminum acoustical prime entry swinging doors and
sliding glass patio doors will have thresholds that are considerably higher (from the
floor) than existing door thresholds. These higher door thresholds are designed to
provide optimum protection to the interior of a home from water infiltration during a
hurricane.
