required insurance.
10. Changes to Scope of Work. The Program Manager
reserves the right to make changes to the plans and specifications and the
Program Improvements, at its sole discretion, at any time during the

is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to

12. Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to

successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.

Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Propeny Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any Dotential im edance to the NIP construction
rocess. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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 re -construction noise test to the ost-construction
noise test. In an effort to insure consistent noise data collection, the
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38.Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page I of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the
17th day of March 2004, grant full authority for the County Administrator to

A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window ill Re lacement- Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Moldina and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ao-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2'9 painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findinas
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all RCM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 20 of 29
The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: PropeLtj Owner Re uiements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Fxhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B301) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (B301) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete
necessary repairs to the Property, to the acceptance of the Program Manager to
minimize any delay or stoppages of work.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release and hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D apply to
property damage, injuries, deaths, or damages arising from the Deficiencies and/or all
negative impacts that later result after the addition of the Program Improvements. The
provisions of this Exhibit D shall survive the termination or expiration of the Property
Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.

1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (B301) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
B. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.

Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.

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

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

A. Air Conditionina: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom r wn Moldin and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-9/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B302) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testina & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B302) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Pro a Owner Rg ueements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B302) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B302) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete
necessary repairs to the Property, to the acceptance of the Program Manager to
minimize any delay or stoppages of work.

1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B302) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

the control of the Contractor and shall be excused so that the time for
completion may reasonably be extended. Construction schedules may also
be revised if there is a delay in awarding of the contract or if the Program
Improvements have to be re -bid in the event of lack of bidding contractors
and/or failure of the lowest responsive, responsible bidder to execute the
contract, provide a payment and performance bond or show proof of
required insurance.
10. Changes to Scope of Work. The Program Manager
reserves the right to make changes to the plans and specifications and the
Program Improvements, at its sole discretion, at any time during the
Program process, provided such changes do not reduce the scope or
quality of the Program Improvements described in Exhibit C and such
changes are necessitated by the discovery of hidden conditions not readily
detectable during normal property inspection procedures.
11.Acceptance of Work. Upon completion of the Program
Improvements, the Program Manager shall inspect or cause the inspection
of the Program Improvements to determine if they were completed pursuant
to the terms of the contract. The Program Manager retains sole discretion
and authority on program conformance and performance issues as they
relate to the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and acoustic designs.
The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 6 of 29

their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16.City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.

West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property € caner Noise Insulation Agreement (KitiBTS B303) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property !Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Norse Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41. Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and comer pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A -Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 20 of 29
The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 25 of 29

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B303) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner believes that warranty service is
required with respect to construction warranty issues, and the one-year warranty period
from the general contractor has expired;

installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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

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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (K"TS B304) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner also agrees to preserve the interior layout of furniture, floor
coverings and window treatments from the time of the pre -construction
noise test to thepost-construction noise test. The Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.

inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email andlor letter)

In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.

acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown

of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In

of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:

Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,

conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
kn
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and comer pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B304) Page 19 of29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testina & Findinas
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Re uirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (K"TS B304) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & comer vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A -Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B304) Page 21 of29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit D
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor' or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B304) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete
necessary repairs to the Property, to the acceptance of the Program Manager to
minimize any delay or stoppages of work.

r<Ir.
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E -Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B304) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

detectable during normal property inspection procedures.
11.Acceptance of Work. Upon completion of the Program
Improvements, the Program Manager shall inspect or cause the inspection
of the Program Improvements to determine if they were completed pursuant
to the terms of the contract. The Program Manager retains sole discretion
and authority on program conformance and performance issues as they
relate to the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and acoustic designs.
The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to

Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.

In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any 12otential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program

email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)

Property (honer Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.lmpact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.

be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34.Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the

Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,

conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1I2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Chvner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 20 of 29
The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
a streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings rp for to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B305) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.

and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph I of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 3 of 29
7. Impeding Construction. Once construction of the Program
Improvements begins, the Property Owner shall not impede construction or
alter construction schedules. In addition, the Property Owner shall prevent
any and all tenants that may occupy the Property during the construction of
the Program Improvements from impeding construction or altering
construction schedules. In the event the Property Owner or any tenant
occupying the Property impedes construction or alters the construction
schedule, the Property Owner shall be liable to the Contractor and the
County for any damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
8. Safe Working Environment. The Property Owner shall be
responsible for providing a safe working environment for the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, and City, County, State and
federal inspectors.
a. Throughout all phases of design and construction of the Program

The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Ins:dalion Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.

work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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

repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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

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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306)
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program

federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property

Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.

In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.lmi)act of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27.Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31.Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.

installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreentent (KWBTS B306) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38.Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 20 of-29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
- Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
a streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings rp for to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the 'Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
E.rhibil E - Propertv Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B306) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12. Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizinq
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testinq Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property 64vner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall" AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
® simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit D
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete
necessary repairs to the Property, to the acceptance of the Program Manager to
minimize any delay or stoppages of work.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release and hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D apply to
property damage, injuries, deaths, or damages arising from the Deficiencies and/or all
negative impacts that later result after the addition of the Program Improvements. The
provisions of this Exhibit D shall survive the termination or expiration of the Property
Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B308) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre-Existinq Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding_ During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the
17th day of March 2004, grant full authority for the County Administrator to

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
® streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
® minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
a high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor' or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 25 of 29

Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 26 of 29
VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner ;Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B311) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12. Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20.Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner shall subject the construction work on the

be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34.Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the

understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,

sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
- Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor' method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one_(1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 26 of 29
VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B403) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12. Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Properh, Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (K[I BTS B404) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to

successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process., In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KJ BTS B404) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to cant' out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KHBTS B404) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Propern, Owner Voise InsulationAgreement Igreement (K [6BTS B404) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearinq Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Propern, Owner .Voice Insulation Agreement (hrl BTS B404) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38.Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and comer pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and comer pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Properh, Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (r[ II'M B404) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall" AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
E.ddbit .4 - Property Owner .Voice Insulation Agreement (K II'M B404) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
- Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor' method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit .4 - Propertv Owner Noise Insulation .4greenlent (1C 6t BTS B404) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings odor to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Wndow and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KI BTS B404) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to

West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38.Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41. Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the
17th day of March 2004, grant full authority for the County Administrator to

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall" AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor' method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

DEFICIENCY HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit D
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete
necessary repairs to the Property, to the acceptance of the Program Manager to
minimize any delay or stoppages of work.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release and hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D apply to
property damage, injuries, deaths, or damages arising from the Deficiencies and/or all
negative impacts that later result after the addition of the Program Improvements. The
provisions of this Exhibit D shall survive the termination or expiration of the Property
Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this Exhibit
D shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their respective
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B406) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner believes that warranty service is
required with respect to construction warranty issues, and the one-year warranty period
from the general contractor has expired;

alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.

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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.

email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre-Existinq Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding_ During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearinq Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.

Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
a potential for extended working hours
® simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B407) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
rocess. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B408) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program

and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)

needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to

of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:

Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timina and Effects of Construction,. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the

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

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless °mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and comer pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and comer pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Moldina and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (3/4" x 5-1/2' painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B408) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windowsldoors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement XWBTS B408) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the -potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B408) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings rior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Desion Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B408) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit, E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner believes that warranty service is
required with respect to construction warranty issues, and the one-year warranty period
from the general contractor has expired;

work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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

discretion, result in an immediate suspension of the construction of the
Program Improvements on the Property. The Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at,treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KIVBTS B409) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.

inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)

In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.

acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown

of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.

of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:

be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the

Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.

sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Moldin and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2") painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B409) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed aapresence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B409) Page 20 of 29
The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Reguirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor' method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B409) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program .Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B409) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

changes are necessitated by the discovery of hidden conditions not readily
detectable during normal property inspection procedures.
11.Acceptance of Work. Upon completion of the Program
Improvements, the Program Manager shall inspect or cause the inspection
of the Program Improvements to determine if they were completed pursuant
to the terms of the contract. The Program Manager retains sole discretion
and authority on program conformance and performance issues as they
relate to the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and acoustic designs.
The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Reauirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38.Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditionina: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and comer pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Moldina and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall" AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Prooertv Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor' method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Desian Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit D
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 25 of 29

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B410) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):

alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testinq Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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

to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in

in order to "clear" the title to the Property.

of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Moldinq and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall" AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
® streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
® simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B411) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

provide that delays related to these unforeseen complications are beyond
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 4 of 29
the control of the Contractor and shall be excused so that the time for
completion may reasonably be extended. Construction schedules may also
be revised if there is a delay in awarding of the contract or if the Program
Improvements have to be re -bid in the event of lack of bidding contractors
and/or failure of the lowest responsive, responsible bidder to execute the
contract, provide a payment and performance bond or show proof of
required insurance.
10. Changes to Scope of Work. The Program Manager
reserves the right to make changes to the plans and specifications and the
Program Improvements, at its sole discretion, at any time during the
Program process, provided such changes do not reduce the scope or
quality of the Program Improvements described in Exhibit C and such
changes are necessitated by the discovery of hidden conditions not readily
detectable during normal property inspection procedures.
11.Acceptance of Work. Upon completion of the Program
Improvements, the Program Manager shall inspect or cause the inspection
of the Program Improvements to determine if they were completed pursuant
to the terms of the contract. The Program Manager retains sole discretion
and authority on program conformance and performance issues as they
relate to the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and acoustic designs.
The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B50I) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear' the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containinq materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
- Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
® high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 25 of 29

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B501) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 8 of29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the
17th day of March 2004, grant full authority for the County Administrator to

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Re lacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
® maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
® high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B502) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to

12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre-Existinq Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testinq Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property avner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearinq Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34.Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear' the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
- Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
® maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B503) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testinq Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26. Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existinq Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existinq Crown Molding, During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B504) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to

their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existinq Crown Molding_ During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34.Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner .Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the
17th day of March 2004, grant full authority for the County Administrator to

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
a streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
a high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
a potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings 2LjoLr to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete
necessary repairs to the Property, to the acceptance of the Program Manager to
minimize any delay or stoppages of work.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release and hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D apply to
property damage, injuries, deaths, or damages arising from the Deficiencies and/or all
negative impacts that later result after the addition of the Program Improvements. The
provisions of this Exhibit D shall survive the termination or expiration of the Property
Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B507) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner believes that warranty service is
required with respect to construction warranty issues, and the one-year warranty period

installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.

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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KPVB"T,S B508) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.

federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property

Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.

In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Oirner rVoise Insulation Agreement (KIVB7S B508) Page 9 of'29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearinq Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.

installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Properly Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KIFB7S B508) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Properly Owner Noise Insublion Agreement (KIV13TS B508) Page I1 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
W7
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Re lacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2") painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Gxhihil A - Properly Chimer Noise Insulalion Agreement (ti WETS I3508) Page I9 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibil A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KW87S B508) Page 20 of 29
The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (K6V13T.S B508) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KIVBTS B508) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.

be revised if there is a delay in awarding of the contract or if the Program
Improvements have to be re -bid in the event of lack of bidding contractors
and/or failure of the lowest responsive, responsible bidder to execute the
contract, provide a payment and performance bond or show proof of
required insurance.
10. Changes to Scope of Work. The Program Manager
reserves the right to make changes to the plans and specifications and the
Program Improvements, at its sole discretion, at any time during the
Program process, provided such changes do not reduce the scope or
quality of the Program Improvements described in Exhibit C and such

11.Acceptance of Work. Upon completion of the Program
Improvements, the Program Manager shall inspect or cause the inspection
of the Program Improvements to determine if they were completed pursuant
to the terms of the contract. The Program Manager retains sole discretion
and authority on program conformance and performance issues as they
relate to the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and acoustic designs.
The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to

West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.

and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearinq Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
- Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Exhibit D
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms hive an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B509) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KVVBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will

West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.

and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Properly Owner ,Voise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear' the title to the Property.

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS BS 10) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
- Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
® streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
a potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete
necessary repairs to the Property, to the acceptance of the Program Manager to
minimize any delay or stoppages of work.

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B510) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. Suspension of Program Process. The Program process
may be temporarily suspended at any time during the design and/or

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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.

needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existinq Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.

acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown

of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29.Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In

of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:

Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,

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

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B511) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B511) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
® streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
® maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
® minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
a high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B511) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design

Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B511) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

Property Owner's failure to complete the corrective action(s) and/or condition(s)
required by the Program Manager, the Property Owner shall be liable to the County
and/or Contractor for any and all damages and all direct and indirect costs related
thereto.
d. If the Program process is resumed, the Property Owner shall be
liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all damages and all direct and indirect
costs related to or caused by the temporary suspension of the Program process.
9. Construction Delays. During the construction period, the
Contractor may experience unforeseen complications relating to the
installation of the Program Improvements. The construction contract shall
provide that delays related to these unforeseen complications are beyond
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (K6i,'BTS B602) Page 4 of 29
the control of the Contractor and shall be excused so that the time for
completion may reasonably be extended. Construction schedules may also
be revised if there is a delay in awarding of the contract or if the Program
Improvements have to be re -bid in the event of lack of bidding contractors
and/or failure of the lowest responsive, responsible bidder to execute the
contract, provide a payment and performance bond or show proof of
required insurance.
10. Changes to Scope of Work. The Program Manager
reserves the right to make changes to the plans and specifications and the
Program Improvements, at its sole discretion, at any time during the
Program process, provided such changes do not reduce the scope or
quality of the Program Improvements described in Exhibit C and such
changes are necessitated by the discovery of hidden conditions not readily
detectable during normal property inspection procedures.
11.Acceptance of Work. Upon completion of the Program
Improvements, the Program Manager shall inspect or cause the inspection
of the Program Improvements to determine if they were completed pursuant
to the terms of the contract. The Program Manager retains sole discretion
and authority on program conformance and performance issues as they
relate to the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and acoustic designs.
The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KN'B7S B602) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen,

their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B602) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property O►aner :Voise /nsulalion Agreement (KWB7S B602) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre-Existinq Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property (Amer Noise Insulation Agreement (KIJ BI S B602) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.

Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Properly Owner Noise /nsulalion Agreement (KI-VB7S B602) Page l0 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38.Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
�7
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (3/4" x 5-1/2") painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Properly Ghmer Noise Insulation Agreement (KH"BTS 8602) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KIVBTS B602) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KPVB7S B602) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit D is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the property,
and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to the
undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design
process, the Property Owner agrees to complete necessary repairs to the Property, to
the acceptance of the Program Manager, as a precondition to the commencement of
construction of the Program Improvements. In the rare event that "Severe" Deficiencies
Exhibit D - Property Owner Noise insulation Agreement (K I i73T5 B602) Page 25 of 29
are uncovered during the construction period, the Property Owner agrees to complete

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation .4greemeni (KII737S B602) Page 27 of `29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assign

7. Impeding Construction. Once construction of the Program
Improvements begins, the Property Owner shall not impede construction or
alter construction schedules. In addition, the Property Owner shall prevent
any and all tenants that may occupy the Property during the construction of
the Program Improvements from impeding construction or altering
construction schedules. In the event the Property Owner or any tenant
occupying the Property impedes construction or alters the construction
schedule, the Property Owner shall be liable to the Contractor and the
County for any damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
8. Safe Working Environment. The Property Owner shall be
responsible for providing a safe working environment for the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, and City, County, State and
federal inspectors.
a. Throughout all phases of design and construction of the Program

The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12. Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts

installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.

Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B603) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program

inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.

provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)

Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could

inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.

In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.

Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown

of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.

will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.

of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.

be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the

Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.

and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,

for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.

sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B603) Page 18 of 29
PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
WZ
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Re lacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B603) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B603) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Propeft Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor' method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B603) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B603) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12. Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be reauired to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the reauired deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to

In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
ProperPrope!jy Owner will be res onsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur to avoid_ an potential im edance to the NIP construction
rocess. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. Suspension of Proaram 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 ost-construction noise test. The Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existina Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existina Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTSB604) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in

in order to "clear' the title to the Property.

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
HSI
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditionina: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Re lacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-9/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTSB604) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containina materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Re uirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: PropeMj Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTSB604) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings rior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Desian Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in
connection with any and all Pre -Existing Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against said
County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Property Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for the
Deficiencies present in the Property, whether visible to the Program Manager or unseen.
3. The Property Owner understands that the Deficiencies include any
deficiencies present in the Property at the time of execution of this Agreement which could
include, but not be limited to, code violations, structural damage, water / moisture
damage, hazardous materials, infestation and/or any issue that would negatively impact
the installation and performance of the Program Improvements.
4. If visible, the Property Owner understands that the Program Manager may
identify and document Deficiencies at any time throughout the Program process
(including design, bid and construction processes). If identified and documented, the
Program Manager will classify the observed Deficiencies as either "Minor" or "Severe".
5. The Property Owner assumes full responsibility for the worsening of any
documented Minor Deficiencies.
6. In the rare event "Severe" Deficiencies are identified during the design

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Corner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B604) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

be revised if there is a delay in awarding of the contract or if the Program
Improvements have to be re -bid in the event of lack of bidding contractors
and/or failure of the lowest responsive, responsible bidder to execute the
contract, provide a payment and performance bond or show proof of
required insurance.
10. Changes to Scope of Work. The Program Manager
reserves the right to make changes to the plans and specifications and the
Program Improvements, at its sole discretion, at any time during the
Program process, provided such changes do not reduce the scope or
quality of the Program Improvements described in Exhibit C and such
changes are necessitated by the discovery of hidden conditions not readily
detectable during normal property inspection procedures.
11.Acceptance of Work. Upon completion of the Program
Improvements, the Program Manager shall inspect or cause the inspection
of the Program Improvements to determine if they were completed pursuant
to the terms of the contract. The Program Manager retains sole discretion
and authority on program conformance and performance issues as they
relate to the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and acoustic designs.
The Property Owner is requested to attend the Substantial Completion
Inspection and provide input to the Construction Manager with respect to
the identified punch -list items. In addition, the Property Owner is welcome to
attend the Final Inspection. In the event the Property Owner elects to not
attend the Substantial Completion and Final Inspections, they release and
surrender their ability to provide input to the Construction Manager with
respect to the acceptance of the Program Improvements. In the event there
is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to
be taken. Monroe County shall be the final arbiter of any
conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testinq Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20.Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation. �
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24.Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property (Avner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page I I of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 20 of 29
- The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
- Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor' method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
- To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
® maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
® minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
® high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
- Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 21 of 29
In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B605) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. P_ re & Post -Construction Noise Testinq Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email andlor letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email andlor letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.lmoact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments, Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding_ During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30.Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.
33. Reduction of Fresh Air Infiltration. The Property Owner will
be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34.Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise /nsidalion Agreemeni (KWBTS B608) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36.Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 11 of 29
succeeding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
hereof.
40. Release of Easement. In the event that this Agreement is
cancelled or the County determines that the Easement should be released
of record, the Property Owner, upon written request by the County, shall pay
to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.
41.Authority to Execute On Behalf Of County. By Resolution
No. 111-2004, duly motioned and passed at a lawfully announced public
meeting, the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, did, on the
17th day of March 2004, grant full authority for the County Administrator to

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 20 of 29
The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
a maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
a potential for extended working hours
® simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 2/ of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall' portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split' air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner ;Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B608) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testinq Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level
reduction level at treated properties. If selected by the Program Manager for
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 7 of 29
pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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 ve-construction noise test to the post -construction
noise test. In an effort to insure consistent noise data collection, the
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre -Existing Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Imoact of Unforeseen KWBTS Building Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation

imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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

understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timina and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditionina: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and comer pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and comer pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-1/2') painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testina & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containin-g materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall" AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 20 of 29
The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.
Exhibit A - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 21 of 29
- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement') between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E - Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B609) Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding \�#pvIhilla n4 inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, persons e'etti%s, successors and assigns.

is a disagreement between the Property Owner and the Program Manager
as to a conformance or performance issue, the Property Owner shall be
required to submit the discrepancy in writing to Monroe County
(representative to be defined before the NIP construction process) within 7
days of the inspection giving rise to the discrepancy. Monroe County shall
then make a determination as to the acceptability of the
conformance/performance issue and any remedial action that may need to

conformance/performance/issues. Failure by the Property Owner to submit
the written complaint within the time period specified above shall thereafter
foreclose the Property Owners right to file such complaint.
12.Termination of Agreement. The Property Owner
understands that the signing of this Agreement initiates both the BID and
CONSTRUCTION PHASES of the Program Improvements to be performed
in accordance with the Program. Therefore, if the Property Owner attempts
to terminate this Agreement or otherwise impedes the progress of the
performance of the Program Improvements after the award of the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B610)
Page 5 of 29
construction contract, the Property Owner will be liable to the County for any
and all damages and all direct and indirect costs caused thereby.
13. Warranties. The County does not represent or warrant the
level of noise reduction that the Property Owner 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
Property Owner with copies of the warranty policies for all products used in the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner understands that the
warranty policies for products used in the construction of the Program Improvements
differ among product manufacturers. The Property Owner understands that it is solely
responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues directly with each product
manufacturer.
b. In the following instances, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for, and agrees to contact the Contractor or product manufacturer directly to
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):
(1) The Property Owner's inquiry is not directly related to either
construction warranties or product warranties (such as window cleaning or product
maintenance) regardless of whether the Property Owner's inquiry arises during the one-
year warranty period from the Contractor or thereafter;
(2) The Property Owner 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 Property Owner 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 Property Owner believes that service is required with
respect to product warranty issues, and the advertised warranty period for the product
has expired.
14. Pre -Existing Deficiencies. The Property Owner will be
required to sign Exhibit D (Deficiency Hold Harmless Agreement) which will
impute all responsibility and liability to the Property Owner for any and all
present Pre -Existing Deficiencies at the Property, whether seen or unseen.
15. Pre -Work Requirements. The Property Owner will be
required to complete any and all Pre -Work, as required by the NIP to
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B610)
Page 6 of 29
successfully accommodate the NIP acoustic modifications. The Property
Owner will be required to complete all designated Pre -Work items utilizing
their own funds and per the required deadlines as established by the NIP. In
the event the Property Owner fails to complete the designated Pre -Work
items by the established NIP deadline, the Property Owner shall be
removed from NIP participation and the Property Owner shall be liable to
the County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all
direct and indirect costs related thereto.
16. City of Key West "Hard -Wired" Smoke Alarm Requirement.
In compliance with the City of Key West Fire Marshall and the City of Key
West Building Department construction permit issuance requirements, the
Property Owner will be required to install 120-volt "hard -wired" smoke
alarms in their condominium in accordance with all applicable codes and
regulations by the required deadline as established by the NIP. The
Property Owner will be responsible to ensure that the smoke alarms are not
installed in same areas within the condominium where NIP modification
work will occur, to avoid any potential impedance to the NIP construction
process. In the event the Property Owner fails to install the designated
"hard -wired" smoke alarms by the established NIP deadline, the Property
Owner shall be removed from NIP participation.
17. 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 Property Owner has corrected all
related problems to the satisfaction of the Program Manager. In the event
repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the Property Owner 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.
18. Limitation on Alterations to the Property. The Property
Owner 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 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 Property Owner will be liable
to the County for all direct and indirect costs associated with unapproved
alterations and damages related thereto.
19. Pre & Post -Construction Noise Testing Process. Pre- &
post -construction noise testing is a very important Program process that is
designed to measure and determine the actual achieved noise level

pre- & post -construction noise testing, the Property Owner 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
Property Owner 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 Property Owner
understands that the failure to adhere to this requirement may result in
corruption of the noise testing data. Therefore, the Property Owner
understands they may be liable to the County for any direct and indirect
noise testing costs in the event these requirements are not met.
20. Cooperation. As reasonably requested, the Property
Owner shall cooperate with the Contractor, the Program Manager and
Monroe County in the performance of all phases of the Program
Improvements including, but not limited to, the removal and reinstallation of
rugs, wall hangings and furniture as necessary.
21. Utilities. The Property Owner shall permit the Contractor to
use, at no cost to the Contractor or the County, existing utilities such as
light, heat, power and water necessary to carry out the Program
Improvements.
22. Design and Bid Process Access. At scheduled times
and/or upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP
email and/or letter), the Property Owner agrees to provide to the Program
Manager, Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and
federal inspectors and consultants access to the Property to collect and
develop all final design and bid documents. These visits could include, but
not be limited to, property survey, design survey, hazardous material
inspection, pre -noise testing and pre -bid visit. In the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access to the Property for all required NIP Design
and Bid Process visits, the Property Owner shall be removed from NIP
participation.
23. Pre -Construction Access. The Property Owner agrees to
provide access to the Property forty-eight (48) hours prior to the scheduled
start of NIP construction. This short visit will provide the Program Manager
with the ability to ensure that the Property Owner has met all furniture
storage responsibilities. Failure could result in the suspension of the
scheduled NIP construction and the Property Owner shall be liable to the
County and/or Contractor for any and all resulting damages and all direct
and indirect costs related thereto.
24. Construction Access. At scheduled times and/or upon not
less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice (via NIP email and/or letter)
and per the established NIP construction schedule assignment, the Property

Page 8 of 29
Owner agrees to provide to the Program Manager, Contractor,
subcontractors, suppliers, City, County, State and federal inspectors and
consultants access to the Property to provide all required NIP Pre -
Construction, Construction and Post -Construction visits. These visits could
include, but not be limited to final measurement, pre -construction
inspections, review of Designated Storage Space requirements, post
construction inspections and post -construction noise testing. The Property
Owner agrees to relocate from their condominium for the entire designated
time period, per the designated NIP construction schedule. The Property
Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during the
established construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to
negatively impact the Contractor. Furthermore, in the event the Property
Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Construction visits, the
Property Owner shall be removed from NIP participation and the Property
Owner shall be liable to the County and/or Contractor for any and all
resulting damages and all direct and indirect costs related thereto.
25. Discovery of Pre-Existinq Deficiencies During Construction.
In the event the Contractor discovers pre-existing deficiencies at the
Property during the NIP construction process that negatively impact the
installation of the NIP improvements, the Property Owner agrees to
immediately repair and remediate such deficiencies in an effort to reduce
any negative impact on the scheduled construction period. The Property
Owner understands that, depending on the timing of the pre-existing
deficiency repair, the NIP construction period may need to be extended, at
no fault of the Program Manager or Contractor.
26.Impact of Unforeseen KWBTS Buildinq Conditions on
Construction Schedule. The Property Owner understands that unforeseen
building conditions that may arise during the NIP construction may have the
potential to increase the original scheduled duration of construction, which is
not the fault of the Program Manager nor Contractor. The Property Owner
needs to plan for the "worst -case" possibility that the originally -scheduled
construction completion date may be delayed a few additional days due to
unforeseen building conditions that may arise and complicate the NIP
construction.
27. Existing Window / Door Treatments. Shades and Blinds.
The Property Owner understands that, after the installation of new NIP
acoustic window and doors, the existing window and/or door treatments,
shades and blinds may not be compatible nor able to be re -installed due to
size differences between the new and existing windows and doors.
28. Existing Crown Molding. During the installation of the new
acoustic windows and doors, the NIP will be providing new "standard"
replacement interior trim and sills. The Property Owner understands that the
NIP replacement trim will not match custom and/or specialized crown
molding patterns and/or custom window and door trim. After the completion
Property Owner Norse Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B610)
9 of 29
of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to make
modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
29. Communication Requirements. The Property Owner
agrees to read and review all NIP emails and/or letters in a timely fashion
which are being provided by the NIP to ensure schedule conformance. In
the event the Property Owner fails to meet this requirement, it could result in
removal from NIP participation.
30. Title Examination. The Program Manager has obtained or
will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an "Abstract of Title" to ensure that
the Property title is free from liens and/or title defects.
31. Cooperation in Clearing Title. Prior to the commencement
of construction of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner 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 Property
Owner'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.
32. Federal Assurance. As required by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the Property Owner agrees to the following provisions:
a. The Property Owner 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.
b. After final completion of the Program Improvements, the Property
Owner shall assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the items
installed, purchased or constructed under this Agreement. Neither the Federal Aviation
Administration nor the County bears any responsibility for maintenance and operation of
these items.

be required to sign Exhibit E (Ventilation Hold Harmless Agreement) which
imputes all responsibility to the Property Owner for the proper maintenance
of interior moisture and humidity levels.
34. Salvage of Materials & Equipment. If the Property Owner
desires to retain any of the material or equipment removed from the
Property as a result of the Program Improvements, the Property Owner shall
arrange for the salvage of said materials and equipment directly with the
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B610)
10 of 29
Contractor at the Property Owner'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
Property Owner and the Contractor shall, prior to the commencement of
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 Property Owner shall become the property of the
Contractor.
35. Property Insurance. During Program construction period,
the Contractor will provide builder's risk insurance for the Property. The
Property Owner shall have the option, at the Property Owner's sole cost and
expense, to maintain a homeowner's insurance policy for the duration of the
construction of the Program Improvements. The Property Owner
understands that, following final completion, the Contractor's builder's risk
insurance will cease and it is advisable for the Property Owner to obtain
insurance to cover any value added to the Property by the Program.
36. Timing and Effects of Construction. The Property Owner
understands that there is a chance that construction itself may exceed the
Contractor's original projected construction time period. The Property Owner
also understands that the construction may involve substantial
inconvenience and could generate significant quantities of dust and debris
rendering portions of the Property uninhabitable for extended periods of
time.
37. Labor and Material Release. The Property Owner releases
and forever discharges any and all claims, suits and actions against the
Program Manager; the County and its officers, employees, agents,
consultants; and contractors and suppliers with respect to issues relating to
the conformance of labor, materials and acoustic designs utilized in the
Program Improvements. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the warranties
for materials and workmanship contained in the contract with the general
contractor.
38. Sale of Property. In the event the Property Owner sells,
conveys or otherwise transfers title to the Property before the completion of
all phases of the Program process, the Property Owner hereby agrees to
provide the buyer with a copy of this Agreement prior to the closing on the
sale, conveyance or other transfer, and to transfer all of the Property
Owner's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the buyer
as a condition of the purchase, conveyance or other transfer of the Property.
39. Waiver. No waiver of, acquiescence in, or consent to any
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

to the County the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to cover the costs
of the preparation and recording of the Release of Easement document in
the public records of Monroe County, Florida. Property Owner understands
that it is the Property Owner's responsibility to insure such payment is made
in order to "clear" the title to the Property.

PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENTS
Exhibit A
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
A. Air Conditioning: General Restrictions. While providing a new ductless "mini -
split" AC system to your condominium as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications, the following limitations and restrictions will apply to all condominiums:
1. All condensing units will be installed on the balcony
2. All refrigerant lines (running from the balcony condensing unit) will be installed
consistent with KWBTS Board policy rules, maintaining a maximum height of 48
inches.
3. All condensate lines will be installed on the building exterior consistent with KWBTS
Board policy rules to ensure the highest level of consistency and building
architectural aesthetics.
4. All interior AC lines (refrigerant, condensate, electrical) and Energy Recovery
Ventilator (ERV) ducts will be housed in new vertical wall and corner pilasters which
will be constructed to match the quality of existing walls. The number and locations
of the new vertical wall and corner pilasters will differ depending on your unique
condominium floor plan and number of bedrooms. The NIP executive architect will
review this information with you at your NIP Design Review Meeting.
5. Only electrical service panels that are determined by the Program Manager to be
deficient will be replaced by the Program as a part of the Noise Insulation Program
modifications.
B. Window Sill Replacement. Due to the presence of asbestos, the NIP will provide a
new custom wood surround and sill instead of the existing gypsum board surround. Due
to this revised plan, existing custom sills (marble, granite, wood) will not be replaced.
This revision will be an improvement, while decreasing constriction costs and improving
time efficiencies.
C. Custom Crown Molding and Baseboards Restrictions
The new asbestos abatement requirements will restrict the ability to remove existing
custom trim and baseboard prior to construction (as originally assumed), which will not
allow sufficient time for the awarded general contractor to secure custom matched
replacement trim. Therefore, existing crown moldings, wall trim, and base, the
contractor will, instead, cut the existing wood trim flush to the face of the new pilaster or
thru wall ac-infill. At new pilaster locations and, if the thru wall ac infill abuts the existing
baseboards, the contractor will install a standard (314" x 5-112") painted wood trim to
abut the existing trim, rather than attempting to match the existing custom trim profiles
and materials. After the completion of the NIP construction, the property owner will
Exhibit A -Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B610) Page 19 of 29
have the option to replace the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing
materials and profiles.
D. 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 condominium from water infiltration during
a hurricane.
E. Summary of Asbestos Testing & Findings
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on a
random sample of KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C. The tests results
showed a presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in several areas to include
stucco, window & door caulking, gypsum board compound, and ceiling texture. Given
these findings, the proposed NIP scope of work will be directly impacted in several
areas to include:
- window removal and acoustic window installation,
- door removal and acoustic door installation,
- removal of portable "through -wall' AC units and the infilling of openings,
- ceiling cuts required for installation of the ductless AC,
- wall cuts required for the installation of the ductless AC,
- construction of vertical wall pilasters required for installation of the ductless
AC system & ERV ducts,
- construction of closet soffit for installation of the ERV.
F. Asbestos Abatement: Construction Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new asbestos
abatement requirements for the NIP to include:
- Construction of ACM containment barriers in all areas (walls, ceilings, closets,
windows/doors), approximately 4 feet from all walls and areas impacted by
the NIP modifications.
- Abatement and bagging of ACM (resulting from demolition process) by
certified asbestos abatement staff.
- Air sampling of containment areas and clearance of all areas by certified
asbestos abatement staff to allow access to containment areas by traditional
(non -abatement) workers.
- THC will be required to provide executive oversight of all ACM abatement
processes in all condominiums throughout the NIP construction process to
ensure proper compliance with federal and state abatement guidelines.

The presence of ACM will have a significant impact on the NIP construction
process, lengthening the construction period and increasing the sequencing
and coordination requirements of contractor crews.
Given the cost to provide required asbestos abatement procedures, the FAA
will require THC to develop a design and construction plan that minimizes the
disturbance of ACM to ensure the minimization of construction costs,
duration, and liability to the contractor and KWBTS property owners. This plan
will result in new property owner requirements and design restrictions which
are outlined below.
G. Asbestos Abatement: Property Owner Requirements
The presence of ACM in the KWBTS buildings will result in several new property owner
requirements to include:
Given these new safety and construction crew sequencing challenges, NIP
construction will be accomplished using a "total building floor" method, where
a total floor area (Buildings A & B) or half -floor area (Building C) will be closed
and vacated for an estimated one (1) calendar -month period. Due to federal
bidding regulations, the final NIP construction schedule for Building B will not
be developed until Monroe County awards the construction contract to the
lowest, responsible bidding general contractor.
To accommodate this construction schedule, property owners will be required
to vacate their condominium for a one (1) month period to allow for the
efficient completion of the NIP construction. This will provide an array of
advantages that will provide the potential for construction efficiencies to
include:
o streamlined asbestos abatement procedures
o maximized level of construction safety and property owner protection
o minimized level of disturbance & disruption to all property owners
o simplification of building walkway egress issues during abatement
o high flexibility for the sequencing of construction and crews
o potential for extended working hours
o simplification of construction inspections
Prior to the start of NIP construction, property owners will be required to
remove all window and door treatments, wall hangings, and custom built-ins
(including but not limited to furniture, cabinets, and shelving) that conflict with
the construction of the required wall & corner vertical pilasters. In addition,
property owners will be required to move their furniture within the designated
areas as outlined in their final design documents to allow for the construction
of required asbestos abatement containment corridors.

- In the event a condominium has excessive furniture and furnishings, the
property owners will be required to remove all excessive furniture and
furnishings prior to NIP construction to provide sufficient space for required
asbestos abatement containment areas.
H. KWBTS BOARD Authority of Design Decisions. The KWBTS Board will have the
Authority to make several of the Program design decisions to include:
1. Acoustical Window and Door Material
2. Acoustical Window and Door Color and Hardware Finishes
3. Acoustical Window and Door Operational Styles
4. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split" AC System Installation Requirements
5. Interior Ductless "Mini -Split' AC System Interior Soffit Design and Placement
6. In -Filled Kitchen Prime Door Policy Treatment

VENTILATION HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Exhibit E
To
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement
1. In partial consideration of the compensation to be paid on behalf of the
County and the Program for the Program Improvements to be made to the Property
described in the Agreement of even date herewith (the "Agreement") between the County
and Property Owner and to which this Exhibit E is attached, the undersigned, for and on
behalf of the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and
assigns of the undersigned, forever releases, remises, discharges, indemnifies and
covenants not to sue, institute claims against, or institute any proceedings against, the
County, or any of its agents, officers, employees, consultants and/or contractors
concerning any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action of
whatsoever kind and nature on account of bodily injuries or death, damage to the
property and the consequences thereof, and any of the foregoing which may accrue to
the undersigned or their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns in connection with any and all Ventilation Deficiencies (the "Deficiencies") against
said County or any of its officers, agents, employees, consultants and/or contractors to be
legally liable.
2. The Program Improvements may include the addition of acoustical
windows and doors, removal and infilling of "through -wall" portable air conditioner units
and the addition of a replacement ductless "mini -split" air conditioning system. Because
these modifications will result in a tighter interior environment due to the elimination of
all passive inside / outside air leakage that was naturally occurring in all openings, the
Program will also include the addition of a energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit which
will provide an adequate exchange of inside / outside air to the condominium as
required by building code.
3. Given the tightened interior environment of the treated condominium, the
Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the proper operation of the new
Program ductless AC system and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) unit to avoid the
potential for mold and moisture problems, especially during periods when the
condominium is closed and uninhabited.
4. Due to FAA eligibility limitations, the Program will not be providing
bathroom exhaust fan treatments. Since bathroom tubs and/or showers are a source of
moisture generation in the interior environment of a condominium, the Property Owner
agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that all bathrooms have an operable
bathroom exhaust fan capable of properly exhausting bathroom moisture to the exterior
of the building. It should also be noted that the original KWBTS condominiums were
constructed with a small wall vent that was designed to allow the passive exhaust of
Exhibit E -Properly Owner Noise Insulation Agreement (KWBTS B610) X Page 27 of 29
bathroom moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design
survey process it was discovered the KWBTS buildings lack a solid central building
exhaust shaft. Due to this existing condition, these original wall vents (if still present)
have the potential to provide a pathway for unwanted air, smoke and/or gases into the
condominium interior. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for the
sealing of original wall vents in all bathrooms and for any and all negative impacts that
may result if left untreated.
5. It is clearly a building code violation to duct laundry dryer exhaust to the
KWBTS central exhaust shaft. In the event a Property Owner has incorrectly ducted
their laundry dryer vent to the KWBTS central building exhaust shafts, they agree to
correct this deficiency by properly exhausting their laundry dryer exhaust in an
alternative method that meets current building code, at their cost before the initiation of
the Program construction process. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to assume
any and all liability related to the improper ducting of their laundry dryer exhaust.
5. The Property Owner understands that the Program Improvements will not
address kitchen and bathroom ventilation and/or excessive interior humidity levels
generated by the Property Owner within the interior of the condominium. The Property
Owner understands and assumes full responsibility for maintenance of interior moisture
and humidity levels. The Property Owner agrees to assume full responsibility for any
occurrence, reoccurrence or worsening of moisture problems and/or interior humidity
levels in the Property. In addition, the Property Owner agrees to assume full
responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the NIP venting modifications after
completion of the Program Improvements.
7. The undersigned acknowledge and agree that all of the release, hold
harmless and indemnity provisions set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit E apply to
injuries, deaths, or damages sustained in connection with or as a result of any and all
interior ventilation deficiencies arising after the addition of the Program Improvements
including, but not limited to, high humidity, mold, mildew, -and/or lack of proper exhaust
ventilation. The provisions of this Exhibit E shall survive the termination or expiration of
the Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement.
8. The undersigned hereby agree that the terms and provisions of this
Exhibit E shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and their
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
