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
Improvements, the Property Owner shall be responsible for:
(1) Providing a working environment that is free from potential
health risks, biohazard conditions, hazardous chemicals, obstacles, weapons of any kind
and/or explosives;
(2) Refraining from verbal abuse or profanity;

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 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.
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 4 of 28
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
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.
b. At the end of construction, the Program Manager will provide the
Property Owner with a Warranty & Final Closeout Package which will contain copies of
the warranty policies, product instructions, design documents and legal documents. As a
condition of receiving the Warranty & Final Closeout Package, the Property Owner must
first submit a completed NIP Property Owner Satisfaction Survey to the Program
Manager. After receiving the Warranty & Final Closeout Package, the Property Owner
understands that the warranty policies for products used in the construction of the
Program Improvements differ among product manufacturers. In the event of claim, the
Property Owner is solely responsible for pursuing all future product warranty issues
directly with each product manufacturer.
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 5 of 28
c. In the event of a warranty claim, the Property Owner shall be solely
responsible for contacting the Contractor (or product manufacturer) directly to coordinate
any required warranty service and agrees to look solely to the Contractor (or product
manufacturer) for fulfillment and resolution of all warranty issues. It should be noted that
warranty claims do not include product failures resulting from a lack of maintenance,
product damage resulting from misuse and/or product operation failures due to lack of
cleaning, as these are all the sole responsibility of the Property Owner.
(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 Noise Insulation Agreement Page 6 of 28
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 and 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 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 ensure 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.
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 7 of 28
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. Pre and Post 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 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.
In the event the Property Owner fails to provide access for all required NIP Pre and Post
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. Construction Period Access. Upon award of NIP construction
contract, the Contractor will provide the Program Manager with their final construction
schedule, which will include the required number of calendar days to complete the NIP
construction in each of the participating condominiums. Based on this schedule, the
Program Manager will assign each Property Owner with a designated number of calendar
days in which construction will occur in their condominium. The Property Owner agrees
to relocate from their condominium for the entire assigned time period. In addition, the
Property Owner agrees not to re-enter their property for any reason during their assigned
construction period due to safety concerns and the potential to negatively impact the
Contractor. In the event the Property Owner fails to provide access for their assigned
construction time period, 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.
26. Construction Period Extension Due to Hurricanes. Since the NIP
construction period will extend into the Key West hurricane season, there is potential for
construction delays and/or stoppages, beyond the control of the Contractor, in the event
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 8 of 28
of a threat of an approaching hurricane and/or an actual hurricane event. Due to this
possibility, the Property Owner understands that delays may occur in addition to their
originally assigned construction time period, without any fault or cost to the Contractor
and Program Manager. Furthermore, the Property Owner agrees to relocate from their
condominium for all additional calendar days resulting from NIP construction work
stoppages due to a hurricane threat or event at no cost to the County, Contractor and/or
Program Manager. In the event the Property Owner fails to provide the required additional
access to their condominium due to hurricane-related work stoppages, 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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 of the NIP modifications, the Property Owner will have the ability to
make modifications to the NIP interior trim at their own expense.
31. 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.
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 9 of 28
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. 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.
35. 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.
36. 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.
Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 10 of 28
37. 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.
38. 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.
39. 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.
40. 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.
41. 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 succeeding breach of the same or
any other term, covenant or condition hereof.
42. 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.
43. 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 execute this Agreement on behalf of the County
without further action by the Board of County Commissioners.

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 (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 have the option to replace
the installed trim with other custom trim to match the existing materials and profiles.
Exhibit A-Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 19 of 28
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. KWBTS Asbestos Testing
As required by state and federal requirements, THC conducted asbestos testing on all
participating KWBTS condominiums in Buildings A, B and C during the November 2017
to April 2018 time period. This testing included collecting 7 to 9 samples at each
condominium to include gypsum board joint compound, window glazing, and exterior
window and door caulking. In addition, random exterior stucco samples were collected on
both the "walkway" and "courtyard / balcony" building elevations.
Depending on the laboratory analysis of these samples, the presence of asbestos
containing materials (ACM) have the potential to impact several areas of the NIP
construction process 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 Requirements
In the event any samples show a presence of asbestos containing material (ACM), the
awarded NIP contractor will be required to perform the following abatement requirements
during construction:
If samples show a presence of ACM < 1%
The NIP contractor will be required to comply with OSHA worker safety requirements to
include worker respirators, poly curtains in all areas where the surfaces are disturbed and
the use of HEPA vacuum cleaners in the areas where surfaces are chipped, cut and/or
sanded.
If samples show a presence of ACM >1%
The NIP contractor will be required to perform full asbestos abatement procedures as
directed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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.
Exhibit A-Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 20 of 28
- 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. 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

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

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 bathroom
moisture in a central building exhaust shaft. During the Program design survey process it
Exhibit E-Property Owner Noise Insulation Agreement Page 26 of 28
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.
6. 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.
