THIS AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 	 day of 	 2026, by and between:

FOUNDERS RIDGE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, a local unit of special-purpose government established pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and located in the City of Minneola, Florida, with a mailing address 219 E. Livingston Street, Orlando, Florida 32801 (the “District”); and

CLYMER FARNER BARLEY, INC., a Florida corporation, with a mailing address of 2221 Lee Road, Suite 27, Winter Park, Florida 32789 (the “Engineer” and, together with the District, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the District is a local unit of special purpose government established pursuant to the Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980, as codified in Chapter 190, Florida Statutes; and

WHEREAS, the District is authorized to plan, finance, construct, install, acquire and/or maintain improvements, facilities and services in conjunction with the development and maintenance of the lands within the District; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 190.033 and 287.055, Florida Statutes, the District solicited qualifications from qualified firms and individuals to provide professional engineering services to the District on a continuing basis; and

WHEREAS, Engineer submitted a proposal to serve in this capacity; and

WHEREAS, on September 10, 2025, the District's Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) ranked Engineer as the most qualified firm to provide professional engineering services for the District on a continuing basis and authorized the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Section 287.055, Florida Statutes; and

WHEREAS, the District intends to employ Engineer to perform engineering, surveying, planning, construction administration, environmental management and permitting, financial and economic studies, as defined by a separate work authorization(s); and

WHEREAS, the Engineer shall serve as District’s professional representative in each service or project to which this Agreement applies and will give consultation and advice to the District during performance of these services.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the acts and deeds to be performed by the parties hereto and the payments by the District to the Engineer of the sums of money herein specified, it is mutually covenanted and agreed as follows:
Article 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals stated above are true and correct and are incorporated by reference herein as a material part of this Agreement.

Article 2.	Scope of Services.

The Engineer will provide general engineering services for the District, including:

Preparation of any necessary reports and attendance at meetings of the Board.
Assisting in meeting with necessary parties involving bond issues, special reports, feasibility studies or other tasks.
Providing professional engineering services, including but not limited to, review and execution of documents under the District’s Trust Indentures and monitoring of District projects.
Any other items requested by the Board.

Engineer shall, when authorized by the Board, provide general services related to construction of any District projects, including but not limited to:

Periodic visits to the site, or full-time construction management of District projects, as directed by District.
Processing of contractors’ pay estimates.
Preparation of, and/or assistance with, the preparation of work authorizations, requisitions, change orders and acquisitions for review by the District Manager, District Counsel, and the Board.
Final inspection and requested certificates for construction, including the final certificate of construction.
Consultation and advice during construction, including performing all roles and actions required of any construction contract between District and any contractor(s) in which Engineer is named as owner’s representative or “Engineer.”
Any other activity related to construction as authorized by the Board.

With respect to maintenance of the facilities, Engineer shall render such services as authorized by the Board.

ARTICLE 3. METHOD OF AUTHORIZATION. Each service or project shall be authorized in writing by the District. The written authorization shall be incorporated in a work authorization which shall include the scope of services, compensation, project schedule, and special provisions or conditions specific to the service or project being authorized (“Work Authorization”). Authorization of services or projects under this Agreement shall be at the sole option of the District.

Article 4. Compensation. It is understood and agreed that the payment of compensation for services under this Agreement shall be stipulated in each Work Authorization. One of the following methods will be utilized:

Lump Sum Amount – The District and Engineer shall mutually agree to a lump sum amount for the services to be rendered payable monthly in direct proportion to the
work accomplished. For any lump-sum or cost-plus-a-fixed-fee professional service contract over the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FOUR, the District shall require the Engineer to execute a truth-in-negotiation certificate stating that wage rates and other factual unit costs supporting the compensation are accurate, complete, and current at the time of contracting. The price for any lump sum Work Authorization, and any additions thereto, will be adjusted to exclude any significant sums by which the District determines the Work Authorization was increased due to inaccurate, incomplete, or noncurrent wage rates and other factual unit costs. All such adjustments must be made within one (1) year following the completion of the work contemplated by the lump sum Work Authorization.

Hourly Personnel Rates – For services or projects where the scope of services is not clearly defined or recurring services or other projects where the District desires the use of the hourly compensation rates, the rates outlined in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, shall apply. The District and Engineer may agree to a “not to exceed” amount when utilizing hourly personnel rates for a specific work authorization.

Article 5. Reimbursable Expenses. Reimbursable expenses consist of actual expenditures made by Engineer, its employees, or its consultants in the interest of the services for the incidental expenses as listed as follows:

Expenses of transportation and living when traveling in connection with a project and fees paid for securing approval of authorities having jurisdiction over the project. All expenditures shall be made in accordance with Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and with the District’s travel policy.

Expense of reproduction, postage and handling of drawings and specifications.

Article 6. Term of Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the term of this Agreement will be from the time of execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto until terminated in accordance with its terms.

Article 7. Special Consultants. When authorized in writing by the District, additional special consulting services may be utilized by Engineer and paid for on a cost basis.

Article 8. Books and Records. Engineer shall maintain comprehensive books and records relating to any services performed under this Agreement, which shall be retained by Engineer for a period of at least four (4) years from and after completion of any services hereunder, or such further time as required under Florida law. The District, or its authorized representative, shall have the right to audit such books and records at reasonable times upon prior notice to Engineer.

Article 9.	Ownership of Documents.

All rights in and title to all plans, drawings, specifications, ideas, concepts, designs, sketches, models, programs, software, creation, inventions, reports, or other tangible
work product originally developed by Engineer pursuant to this Agreement (the “Work Product”) shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the District when developed and shall be considered work for hire.

The Engineer shall deliver all Work Product to the District upon completion thereof, unless it is necessary for the Engineer in the District’s sole discretion to retain possession for a longer period of time. Upon early termination of the Engineer’s services hereunder, the Engineer shall deliver to the District all such Work Product, whether complete or not, upon payment of all outstanding balances due Engineer for Work Product. The District shall have all rights to use any and all Work Product. Engineer shall retain copies of the Work Product for its permanent records, provided the Work Product is not used without the District’s prior express written consent. The Engineer agrees not to recreate any Work Product contemplated by this Agreement, or portions thereof, which if constructed or otherwise materialized, would be reasonably identifiable with the District. If said Work Product is used by the District for any purpose other than that purpose which is intended by this Agreement, the District shall indemnify Engineer from any and all claims and liabilities which may result from such re-use, in the event Engineer does not consent to such use.

The District exclusively retains all manufacturing rights to all materials or designs developed under this Agreement. To the extent the services performed under this Agreement produce or include copyrightable or patentable materials or designs, such materials or designs are work made for hire for the District as the author, creator, or inventor thereof upon creation, and the District shall have all rights therein including, without limitation, the right of reproduction, with respect to such work. The Engineer hereby assigns to the District any and all rights the Engineer may have including, without limitation, the copyright, with respect to such work. The Engineer acknowledges that the District is the motivating factor for, and for the purpose of copyright or patent, has the right to direct and supervise, the preparation of such copyrightable or patentable materials or designs.

Article 10. Reuse of Documents. All documents including drawings and specifications furnished by Engineer pursuant to this Agreement are instruments of service. Such documents are not intended or represented to be suitable for reuse by District or others on extensions of the work for which they were provided or on any other project. Any reuse without specific written consent by Engineer will be at the District’s sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to Engineer. All documents including drawings, plans and specifications furnished by Engineer to District are subject to reuse in accordance with Section 287.055(10), Florida Statutes.

Article 11. Estimate of Cost. Since Engineer has no control over the cost of labor, materials, or equipment or over a contractor's methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, Engineer’s opinions of probable cost provided as a service hereunder are to be made on the basis of its experience and qualifications and represent Engineer’s best judgment as a design professional familiar with the construction industry, but Engineer cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or the construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared by Engineer. If the District wishes greater assurance as to the construction costs, it shall employ an independent cost estimator at its
own expense. Services to modify approved documents to bring the construction cost within any limitation established by the District will be considered additional services and justify additional fees.

Article 12.	Insurance.

Subject to the provisions of this Article, the Engineer shall, at a minimum, maintain throughout the term of this Agreement the following insurance:

Workers’ Compensation Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

Commercial General Liability Insurance, including but not limited to, bodily injury (including contractual), property damage (including contractual), products and completed operations, and personal injury with limits of not less than One Million Dollars and No Cents ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, and not less than Two Million Dollars and No Cents ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate covering all work performed under this Agreement.

Automobile Liability Insurance, including without limitation bodily injury and property damage, including all vehicles owned, leased, hired, and non-owned vehicles with limits of not less than One Million Dollars and No Cents ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit covering all work performed under this Agreement.

Professional Liability Insurance for Errors and Omissions, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars and No Cents ($1,000,000.00).

All insurance policies secured by Engineer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be written on an “occurrence” basis to the extent permitted by law, except with respect to the Professional Liability Insurance which shall be on a claims-made basis.

The District and the District’s officers, supervisors, agents, staff, and representatives shall be named as additional insured parties, except with respect to the Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Professionally Liability Insurance for which only proof of insurance shall be provided. The Engineer shall furnish the District with the Certificate of Insurance evidencing compliance with the requirements of this Section. No certificate shall be acceptable to the District, unless it provides that any change or termination within the policy periods of the insurance coverage, as certified, shall not be effective within thirty (30) days of prior written notice to the District. Insurance coverage shall be from a reputable insurance carrier, licensed to conduct business in the state of Florida.

If the Engineer fails to have secured and maintained the required insurance, the District has the right (without any obligation to do so, however), to secure such required insurance in which event, the Engineer shall pay the cost for that required
insurance and shall furnish, upon demand, all information that may be required in connection with the District’s obtaining the required insurance.

Article 13. Contingent Fee. The Engineer warrants that it has not employed or retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for the Engineer, to solicit or secure this Agreement and that it has not paid or agreed to pay any person, company, corporation, individual, or firm, other than a bona fide employee working solely for the Engineer, any fee, commission, percentage, gift, or other consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14. AUDIT. Records of the Engineer pertaining to the services provided hereunder shall be kept on a basis of generally accepted accounting principles and shall be available to the District or its authorized representative for observation or audit at mutually agreeable times. The Engineer agrees that the District or any of its duly authorized representatives shall have access to and the right to examine any books, documents, papers, and records of the Engineer involving transactions related to the Agreement for a period of four (4) years or longer as required by law. The Engineer agrees that payment made under the Agreement shall be subject to reduction for amounts charged thereto that are found on the basis of audit examination not to constitute allowable costs. All required records shall be maintained until either
(a) the completion of an audit and resolution of all questions arising therefrom, or (b) three years after the expenditure of all funds under this Agreement, or (c) the public record retention period established by the District’s records retention policy, whichever comes later.

Article 15. Compliance with Governmental Regulations. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Engineer and each of its agents, servants, employees, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Engineer, shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and orders of any public or governmental authority having appropriate jurisdiction. If the Engineer fails to notify the District in writing within five (5) days of the receipt of any notice, order, required to comply notice, or a report of a violation or an alleged violation, made by any local, State, or Federal governmental body or agency or subdivision thereof with respect to the services being rendered under this Agreement or any action of the Engineer or any of its agents, servants, or employees, or fails to comply with any requirement of such agency within five (5) days after receipt of any such notice, order request to comply notice, or report of a violation or an alleged violation, the District may terminate this Agreement, such termination to be effective upon the giving of notice of termination.

Article 16.  Compliance with Professional Standards. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Engineer and each of its agents, servants, employees, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by Engineer, shall maintain the standard of care, skill, diligence, and professional competency for such work and/or services ordinarily used by members of the Engineer’s profession practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in the same locality. Any designs, drawings, reports, or specifications prepared or furnished by Engineer that contain errors, conflicts, or omissions will be promptly corrected by Engineer at no cost to the District.

Article 17.	Indemnification.

The Engineer agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the District, its officers, supervisors, agents, staff, and representatives from any and all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, paralegal fees, and expert witness fees and costs for trial, alternative
dispute resolution, or appellate proceedings, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct or errors or omissions of the Engineer and persons employed or utilized by the Engineer in the performance of this Agreement.

Engineer agrees and covenants that nothing herein shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of the District's sovereign immunity pursuant to Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, or other applicable law. The District agrees, to the extent permitted by Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, and other applicable law, to indemnify and hold the Engineer harmless from any damage, liability or cost to the extent caused by the District’s negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the District and persons employed or utilized by the District in the performance of this Agreement.

The following shall apply only to the extent a limitation on liability is required by Section 725.06, Florida Statutes, or other applicable law: liability under this section shall in no event exceed the sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Engineer shall carry, at its own expense, insurance in a company satisfactory to District to cover the aforementioned liability. Engineer agrees such limitation bears a reasonable commercial relationship to the Agreement.

Disclaimer of Consequential Damages - Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties shall have no liability to each other for indirect, consequential, or special damages including, but not limited to, liability or damages for delays of any nature, loss of anticipated revenues or profits, costs of shutdown or startup.

UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 558.0035, FLORIDA STATUTES, WHICH REQUIREMENTS ARE EXPRESSLY INCORPORATED HEREIN, AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ENGINEER MAY NOT BE HELD INDIVIDUALLY LIABLE FOR NEGLIGENCE.

All orders for (i) print, digital and/or preprint advertising ("Advertising Services") are subject to Publisher’s Advertising Agreement Standard Terms and Conditions (“Ad Publication Terms and Conditions”) available at http://tribpub.com/ad-io-terms and (ii) services other than or in addition to publication and/or insertion of advertisements (such as sponsored content creation, website development, advertising strategy design, and search engine optimization, collectively "Creation and Digital Services") are subject to Publisher’s Terms and Conditions Content Creation and Digital Services (“Digital Services Terms and Conditions” and collectively with the Ad Publication Terms and Conditions, the "Standards Terms and Conditions") available at http://tribpub.com/ad-io-terms. The Standard Terms and Conditions may be updated from time to time. Your order will be subject to these invoice terms and conditions and the Standard Terms and Conditions as from time to time in effect on the date you place your order. By placing an order, you accept and agree to the Standard Terms and Conditions as from time to time in effect.

As used in these invoice terms and conditions, tronc, Inc. and any and all of their respective affiliates, as defined in the Ad Publication Terms and Conditions as "Publisher" and in the Digital Services Terms and Conditions as "TI" shall be collectively referred to herein as "Publisher." The Client, as set forth on the face of this invoice, for whose benefit the Advertising Services and/or Creation and Digital Services have been provided, as defined in the Ad Publication Terms and Conditions as "Advertiser" and in the Digital Services Terms and Conditions as "Client," shall be collectively referred to herein as "Advertiser."

FINANCIAL RELATED TERMS
Payments and Disputes
Payment: All invoices shall be paid within 15 days of invoice date or as otherwise stated on the invoice/payment schedule set forth in the Insertion Order or the Statements of Work ("SOWs").

Agency Liability: Any obligation of an Advertiser, pursuant to the terms stated herein and as set forth in the Standard Terms and Conditions, may be satisfied by an advertising agency which has been duly appointed by Advertiser (or its duly appointed agent) to act on Advertiser's behalf or is otherwise authorized to act on behalf of the Advertiser, whether by express, implied, apparent or other authority (the "Agency"). As set forth in Section 11 of the incorporated Ad Publication Terms and Conditions and in Section 24 of the incorporated Digital Services Terms and Conditions, the Agency shall be liable (jointly and severally with the Advertiser) for payment for all Advertising Services and/or Creation and Digital Services provided and invoiced by each Publisher regardless of any contrary language in any past, contemporaneous or future writing, regardless of whether it receives payment from Advertiser and regardless of whether the identity of the Agency’s client is known to such Publisher. In addition, Agency agrees: (a) Publisher will not be bound by any terms, conditions or provisions in any document contrary to the terms of this invoice; and (b) represents and warrants that, as agent for the Advertiser, it has all necessary authority to submit or enter into the Insertion Order or SOW and place an order with Publisher on behalf of the Advertiser. Agency will make available to Publisher upon request written confirmation of the relationship between Agency and Advertiser. This confirmation must include, among other representations, Advertiser's acknowledgement that Agency is its agent and is authorized to act on its behalf in connection with the Insertion Order, the SOW, the terms stated in this invoice and the Standard Terms and Conditions. In addition, upon the request of Publisher, Agency will confirm whether Advertiser has paid to Agency in advance funds sufficient to make payments pursuant to the Insertion Order or SOW.

Credit: Credit privileges may be suspended on any Advertiser account that is not paid in accordance with terms or exceeds approved credit limit. For prepaid Advertiser accounts, payment in the form of check, credit card or ACH must be received in advance of space deadline for Advertiser accounts that have not established credit with Publisher. If the Advertiser's account has established credit terms, payments on such accounts may be made by using a credit card; however, such payments must be made by the due date on the invoice. Payments in excess of $2,500.00 cannot be paid using a credit card. It is the Advertiser's and its agent's responsibility to advise the Publisher's credit department immediately, via registered mail, of any change in business structure or status.

Pricing: For advertising inserts distributed via insertion in Publisher’s newspaper and/or via Publisher’s non-subscriber distribution program(s), quantity billed is based on the delivery quantity requirements provided by Publisher to Advertiser. Delivery quantity requirements are based on an estimate of circulation ordered plus an estimate for non-subscriber distribution, if any, plus provision for unsold copies of the newspapers, and an estimated amount for shipment and machine spoilage. Newspaper circulation is variable, therefore, it is recommended that Advertiser or its agent confirm delivery quantity requirements with their advertising sales representative just prior to ordering a print run. However, Publisher shall not be responsible nor provide rate adjustments for shortages or overages in delivery quantity requirements realized through circulation fluctuations or for circulation missed caused by shortages in the Advertiser’s insert quantity provided. The terms and conditions of the Rate Cards that apply to the publications in which Advertiser has requested that Ads be published are expressly incorporated herein. If there is a conflict between your Insertion Order and the Rate Card, the Insertion Order will control.

Invoice Disputes: Advertiser and its agents waive any dispute regarding any item included in an invoice unless notice of such dispute is provided to Publisher within a reasonable period not to exceed 10 days.

Late Payment and Collections: Except for invoiced payments that Advertiser or its agent has successfully disputed, Advertiser and the Agency shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Publisher in connection with the collection of any amounts owing hereunder including, without limitation, collection fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys fees.

No Set-Off
Unless otherwise agreed to by all parties, neither Advertiser nor the Agency may set off against amounts due to Publisher under this invoice any amounts owed by Publisher to Advertiser or the Agency.

Taxes
All prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amount payable by Advertiser or the Agency. Advertiser and the Agency shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes and all amounts paid and payable by Publisher in discharge of the foregoing taxes. This provision shall survive the termination of any agreement between Publisher and the Advertiser or Agency.

Other Services
Except as stated otherwise, payments by or on behalf of Advertiser to Publisher for services or goods other than advertising space, inserts and color shall not be applied toward any revenue totals set forth in the any agreement between Advertiser and Publisher.

Rate Changes & Postal Changes
Publisher shall have the right to revise the advertising rates for Advertising Services, as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Ad Publication Terms and Conditions, at any time upon notice to Advertiser or the Agency of such rates. Advertiser may terminate its agreement on the date the new rates become effective by giving written notice within 30 days of such termination. In the event of such termination, Advertiser and the Agency shall be liable for Ads published prior to such termination at the “Current Agreement Rate,” defined as the billing rate in effect at the time of publication.
If the United States Postal Service implements a postage cost increase at any time, Advertiser and the Agency understand and agree that the advertising rates for Advertising Services shall be adjusted to reflect that increase automatically upon the effective date of the United States Postal Service increase.
