District:	Somerset Community Development District	Contractor:	Murdock Investments, LLC dba Griffin Traffic Signals	
Mailing Address:	3434 Colwell Avenue, Suite 200
Tampa, Florida 33614	Mailing Address:	5324 E. 14th Street
Panama City, Florida 32404	
Phone:	(850) 344-9055	Phone:	(850) 270-2715	

The following provisions govern the proposal, dated November 4, 2024, submitted by the Contractor, and attached hereto as Exhibit A (hereinafter referred to as the “Proposal,” and as modified by this Addendum, the “Agreement”) for the following crosswalk assembly repair and replacement services:
The Agreement shall be deemed effective as of the date of the full execution of the Agreement and this Addendum.

District agrees to compensate Contractor for the services identified in the Proposal at an amount of Four Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($4,500.00), due upon completion of the services identified in Exhibit A.

Contractor shall use reasonable care in performing the services and shall be responsible for any harm of any kind to persons or property resulting from Contractor’s actions or inactions. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the District, and the District’s officers, staff, representatives, and agents, from any and all liabilities, damages, claims, losses, costs, or harm of any kind, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent caused by any acts or omissions of the indemnifying party and persons employed or utilized by the indemnifying party in the performance of the Agreement. The obligations under this paragraph shall be limited to no more than $1,000,000.00, which amount Contractor agrees bears a reasonable commercial relationship to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section is intended to waive or alter any other remedies that the District may have as against the Contractor.

The Contractor or any subcontractor performing the work described in this Agreement shall 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 covering the Contractor’s legal liability for bodily injuries, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit bodily injury and property damage liability, including Independent Contractors Coverage for bodily injury and property damage in connection with subcontractors’ operation.
Automobile Liability Insurance for bodily injuries in limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit bodily injury and for property damage, providing coverage for any accident arising out of or resulting from the operation, maintenance, or use by the Contractor of any owned, non-owned, or hired automobiles, trailers, or other equipment required to be licensed.
The District, its staff, consultants, agents and supervisors shall be named as additional insureds and certificate holders. The Contractor shall furnish the District with the Certificate of Insurance evidencing compliance with this requirement. 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 Contractor 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 Contractor 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.

In addition to all manufacturer warranties for materials purchased for purposes of this Agreement, the Contractor agrees all materials furnished under this Agreement shall be new, and that all services and materials shall be of good quality, free from faults and defects, and will conform to the standards and practices for projects of similar design and complexity in an expeditious and economical manner consistent with the best interest of the District. If prior to final acceptance of the work, any of the materials or work are found to be defective, deficient or not in accordance with the Agreement, Contractor shall correct, remove and replace it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the District and correct and pay for any other damage resulting therefrom to District property or the property of landowner’s within the District.
Contractor further agrees that nothing in the Agreement between the parties shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of the District’s limitations on liability contained in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, or other statute.
The Agreement may be terminated immediately by the District for cause, or for any or no reason upon 30 days written notice by either party. Contractor shall not be entitled to lost profits or any other damages of any kind resulting from any such termination by the District, provided however that Contractor shall be entitled to payment for any work provided through the effective date of termination, subject to any offsets.

Contractor understands and agrees that all documents of any kind provided to the District in connection with this Agreement may be public records, and, accordingly, Contractor agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of Florida law in handling such records, including but not limited to Section 119.0701, Florida Statutes. Contractor acknowledges that the designated public records custodian for the District is Kim O’Meara (“Public Records Custodian”). Among other requirements and to the extent applicable by law, the Contractor shall 1) keep and maintain public records required by the District to perform the service; 2) upon request by the Public Records Custodian, provide the District with the requested public records or allow the records to be inspected or copied within a reasonable time period at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided in Chapter 119, Florida Statutes;
ensure that public records which are exempt or confidential, and exempt from public records disclosure requirements, are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the duration of the contract term and following the contract term if the Contractor does not transfer the records to the Public Records Custodian of the District; and
upon completion of the contract, transfer to the District, at no cost, all public records in Contractor’s possession or, alternatively, keep, maintain and meet all applicable requirements for retaining public records pursuant to Florida laws. When such public records are transferred by the Contractor, the Contractor shall destroy any duplicate public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements. All records stored electronically must be provided to the District in a format that is compatible with Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF formats.
IF THE CONTRACTOR HAS QUESTIONS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF CHAPTER 119, FLORIDA STATUTES, TO THE CONTRACTOR’S DUTY TO PROVIDE PUBLIC RECORDS RELATING TO THIS CONTRACT, CONTACT THE CUSTODIAN OF PUBLIC RECORDS AT (850) 334-9055, KOMEARA@RIZZETTA.COM, AND 3434 COLWELL AVENUE, SUITE 200, TAMPA, FLORIDA 33614.
The Contractor shall comply with and perform all applicable provisions of Section 448.095, Florida Statutes. Accordingly, to the extent required by Florida Statute, Contractor shall register with and use the United States Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system to verify the work authorization status of all newly hired employees. The District may terminate this Agreement immediately for cause if there is a good faith belief that the Contractor has knowingly violated Section 448.09(1), Florida Statutes. By entering into this Agreement, the Contractor represents that no public employer has terminated a contract with the Contractor under Section 448.095(2)(c), Florida Statutes, within the year immediately preceding the date of this Agreement.

The Contractor agrees to comply with Section 20.055(5), Florida Statutes, to cooperate with the inspector general in any investigation, audit, inspection, review, or hearing pursuant to such section and to incorporate in all subcontracts the obligation to comply with Section 20.055(5), Florida Statutes.

Contractor certifies it: (i) is not in violation of Section 287.135, Florida Statutes; (ii) is not on the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in Sudan List; (iii) is not on the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in the Iran Petroleum Energy Sector List; (iv) does not have business operations in Cuba or Syria; (v) is not on the Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel List; and (vi) is not participating in a boycott of Israel. If the Contractor is found to have submitted a false statement with regards to the prior sentence, has been placed on the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in Sudan List, the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in the Iran Petroleum Energy Sector List, or the Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel List, has engaged in business operations in Cuba or Syria, and/or has engaged in a boycott of Israel, the District may immediately terminate the Contract.
To the extent any of the provisions of this Addendum are in conflict with the provisions of the Agreement, this Addendum controls.

Subject: Reserve Study Proposal Dear Kim,
Thank you for requesting a Reserve Study proposal from Association Reserves. It would be our privilege to serve as your Reserves planning partner! We recognize that you have a choice of Reserve Study providers and want to make sure you understand the many benefits of working with our company, including reports prepared in compliance with CAI’s National Reserve Study Standards and Florida’s newly-revised statutory “Structural Integrity Reserve Study” (SIRS) requirements. To that end, we have prepared this proposal document which clearly defines the process and scope of work of our Reserve Studies, provides background about our firm and key employees, and even includes answers to many Frequently Asked Questions.
We have also enclosed the Standard Terms and Conditions which sets forth the terms of the services that Association Reserves-Florida, LLC (“Association Reserves”, “us”, “our” or “we”) will provide to Somerset Community Development District, Inc. (“Client”, “you” or “your”).

When you’re ready for the next step, simply follow the instructions listed in the last section, “Schedule, Terms and Fees.” Our office will then contact you regarding the next steps in the process, such as scheduling the site inspection, obtaining required background information, etc. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns, or would like any additional information. We hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,

Will Simons, RS President
Florida/Southeast Regional Office

What’s a Reserve Study?
A Reserve Study is a document used by community associations (or any other type of common interest real estate development) to help determine the relative strength of its existing financial Reserve funds, and to provide forecasts and recommended funding plans for major repair, replacement, or restoration projects over a long period of time.

Are Reserve Studies really that important?

Absolutely. It’s fairly easy to plan and prepare for recurring costs like management fees, insurance premiums, landscaping contracts, and utilities, but what about the projects and expenses that DON’T happen every year? That’s our specialty...identifying and forecasting those projects that are certain to occur, but are often overlooked or underestimated. There’s no question that setting aside Reserve funds over a long period of time is the simplest, most cost‐eﬀective, and most responsible way to plan for major projects.
The work will need to be done; it’s up to the property and its representatives to plan accordingly. Without adequate Reserves, properties will have to make a tough decision: take out costly loans? Push for recurring special assessments? Or worst, accept a drop in property values due to deteriorating conditions and deferred maintenance? A current, reliable Reserve Study is the first step toward long‐term financial strength for every property. Without one, property owners and stakeholders will be misinformed, underprepared, and left exposed to serious financial consequences. A current, reliable Reserve Study is a hallmark of well‐managed properties, and an important part of a Board of Directors’ fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of their ownership.
What components are included in a Reserve Study?
Reserve Study Standards as published by the Community Associations Institute specify the following criteria for inclusion in a Reserve Study:

The association has the obligation to maintain or replace the existing element.
The need and schedule for this project can be reasonably anticipated.
The total cost for the project is material to the association, can be reasonably estimated, and includes all direct and related costs
Our studies typically include funding for projects such as: roof replacement, painting/waterproofing, pavement sealing and resurfacing, elevator modernization, balcony and deck sealing and restoration, major mechanical systems (HVAC, fire alarm, hot water, etc.), major pool and spa expenses, interior/amenity area remodeling, and many more. The bottom line is that every property is diﬀerent, and will require a thorough inspection to determine what belongs in your study. State requirements vary on what types of projects should be addressed through Reserves (and therefore included in a Reserve Study). Our studies will always meet and usually exceed these requirements, ensuring that our clients are acting in accordance with legal requirements and sound fiduciary responsibility.

Our Reserve Studies are prepared in accordance with Reserve Study Standards, originally established in 1998 by the Community Associations Institute. Per these standards, a Reserve Study engagement generally consists of the following:
Component Inventory & Condition Assessment
The component inventory is the task of selecting and quantifying Reserve components. This task can be accomplished through on‐ site visual observations, review of property design and organizational documents, a review of established precedents, and discussion with appropriate representative(s) of the Client. The condition assessment is “the task of evaluating the current condition of the component based on observed or reported characteristics.” As part of our inspection, we review any available building documents including site plans, building plans, fire alarm inspection records, equipment schedules and any other data that may be informative regarding component details, project history or expectations for upcoming work. We then measure/quantify, inspect and document all areas or components to be included.

 For Update, With Site Visit (Level 2) Reserve Studies, the component inventory is for verification purposes only, using previously‐established component quantities from a prior Reserve Study. However, the condition assessment is re‐ established based on current conditions. For Update, No Site Visit (Level 3)
Reserve Studies, there is no physical inspection of the property. We review the component inventory and condition assessments from the most recent study, communicate with the Client about any relevant project history and updated financial information, then proceed with the Life and Valuation Estimates and Financial Analysis.
Life & Valuation Estimates
Our team begins by organizing and interpreting the raw data gathered during the site inspection, reviewing all
measurements, notes and photographs for key details and insights. Next, we establish the component list structure, and determine the life and cost estimates for each Reserve component. Our standard procedure is to use any historical information provided to us by the Client (such as when certain projects were done, and what they cost), and to review any bids or estimates for upcoming work. We review our findings with your current vendors for their insights, and also check their input against information we’ve gathered working with other comparable properties in the area. We constantly consult our own internal databases, comprised of data collected from over 45,000 Reserve Studies. As a supplement, we also make use of various guidebooks, publications and manufacturer’s recommendations to supplement our knowledge base. The end result is a complete, thorough set of estimates that are accurate, current, Client‐specific, and generated by a qualified, independent third party.
Financial Analysis, Report Preparation & Delivery
Once the component list is established and we’ve reviewed your current annual budget and Reserve fund balance(s), we will make a determination of relative current Reserve fund strength and created a recommended funding plan covering the next 30 fiscal years, including a schedule of projected annual income and expenses.

Association Reserves was established in 1986 as a professional consulting firm serving community associations and other clients throughout the United States and abroad. To date, our firm has completed over 80,000 Reserve Studies and Capital Plans for properties of all types, including condominium and homeowners associations, community development districts, timeshare and resort properties, commercial facilities, worship facilities, schools and more. Over the years, our firm has been instrumental in defining and advocating the National Reserve Study Standards endorsed by the Community Associations Institute (CAI).
Each Reserve Study we provide is conducted with special consideration for the unique characteristics of the Client property, especially age, regional weather patterns, local pricing factors, and input from the Client’s representatives. Our time‐tested approach involves research of key factors, especially project history, projected useful life and cost data, and aesthetic standards in the local area. Our staﬀ members earn and maintain the Reserve Specialist credential administered by the Community Associations Institute (CAI), the international authority on all aspects of community association living.
We don’t take a one‐size‐fits‐all approach to our work, because we know that every property is diﬀerent, and we take the time and care to ensure our results will help you to make wise decisions regarding the long‐term care of your physical and financial assets. From our first phone call to final delivery of your study, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism. We pride ourselves on delivering a first‐rate product, because we know you’re putting your trust in our hands.

We’re proud to announce that for 11 years in a row (2013-2023) we have been selected as a Reader’s Choice Award winner by the readers of the Florida Community Association Journal. We attribute this achievement to a combination of hard work, attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to serving our clients.

All of our project staﬀ members have college degrees and many come from construction, engineering, architecture and related backgrounds. We do not use sub-contractors to conduct our inspections—all staff members inspecting your property are company employees trained specifically in the field of preparing Reserve Studies. As of 2024, 10 staﬀ members on our Florida team have earned the prestigious Reserve Specialist credential.

You don’t get to be in business for 30 years and counting without building a great reputation. Here’s what some of our clients have had to say about us recently:

“As the owner of a fairly large property management company, I have been using Association Reserves since the firm was founded. Excellent staﬀ, timely responses, easy to understand reports, and changing reports has never been problematic! I cannot recommend Association Reserves highly enough.”

“Association Reserves provides incredible service, knowledge and professionalism.”

“Until now, I had yet to see a Reserve Study whose overview so "user" friendly. Any novice may pick it up and understand the concepts behind a Reserve Study. Very impressive. To add to that, our Project Manager could not be more responsive in answering any of our questions and bending over backwards to work with us.”

“I have been in this business since 1998 and not everyone understands how HOAs and Boards work. Association Reserves employees do, which makes my job easier.”

“Our Board could not be more pleased with the report we have received and the manner in which the study was conducted. We highly recommend Association Reserves to prepare your Reserve Study.”

“We have worked with Association Reserves for several years. This is a process which can be very cumbersome to say the least, but Association Reserves has streamlined the process and with their help it has been painless and very successful.”

“Association Reserves far exceeded my expectations in terms of ease of access to our Reserve Study report on the internet, and quality of service.”

“The Association Reserves representatives have been very friendly and professional and have been very responsive to our needs.”

William G. Simons, RS is the President of Association Reserves-Florida, LLC and is a credentialed Reserve Specialist (#190). All work done by Association Reserves-Florida, LLC is performed under Mr. Simons’ Responsible Charge and is performed in accordance with National Reserve Study Standards (NRSS) and SIRS Requirements (as defined above). Association Reserves will provide oversight and assume responsibility for all work performed. Association Reserves’ services may be performed by Association Reserves employees or contractors working for Association Reserves.
The scope of work for this Agreement includes visual inspection of accessible areas and components and does not include any destructive or other means of testing. We do not inspect or investigate for construction defects, hazardous materials, code-compliance or other latent issues. Information provided to us about historical or upcoming projects, including information provided by the Client’s vendors and suppliers, will be considered reliable. Any on-site inspection should not be considered a project audit or quality inspection. Our opinions of component useful life, remaining useful life, and cost estimates assume proper original installation/construction, adherence to recommended preventive maintenance guidelines and best practices, a stable economic environment, and do not consider the frequency or severity of natural disasters. Our opinions of component useful life, remaining useful life and current and future cost estimates are not a warranty or guarantee of the actual costs and timing of any component repairs or replacements. The actual or projected total reserve account balance(s) presented in the Reserve Study will be based upon information provided and such information is not audited by Association Reserves. Because the physical condition of the Client’s components, the Client’s reserve balance, the economic environment, and the legislative environment are subject to change, the Reserve Study is limited by such outside influences and changes. Accordingly, Association Reserves expects that after the completion of the Reserve Study, a number of adjustments may be necessary to the cost and timing of our expense projections and the funding necessary to prepare for those estimated expenses. Because Association Reserves has no control over future events or outside influences, we do not expect that all the events we anticipate for purposes of the Reserve Study will occur exactly as planned.

Cooperation and Information
In connection with our work, Client agrees to cooperate with us and to promptly provide, to the extent reasonably possible, all relevant information as requested. Client agrees to notify us in writing if Client learns that any information provided to us is inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect. Client also agrees to continuously advise us of any material developments or facts that occur or come to its attention which might reasonably be considered to affect our work.

Professional Fees
Our fees and expenses are in no way contingent upon the results of our analysis, the content or conclusions in our report, the consummation of an event or transaction, or your acceptance or rejection of our opinions, reports or conclusions. Any undisputed invoice remaining unpaid for 30 days shall bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the date of the invoice until paid in full. We reserve the right to defer rendering further services until payment is received on undisputed past due invoices. Fees incurred to date must be paid within five (5) business days after receipt of our final report.

Limitation on Warranties
Association Reserves warrants that it will perform services under the Agreement in good faith, with qualified personnel in a competent and workmanlike manner in accordance with applicable industry standards. Association Reserves disclaims all other warranties, either express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Association Reserves does not warrant or predict results or final developments in this matter.
Undue Influence / Right to Withdraw
Association Reserves reserves the sole right to decide the methodology to be employed as well as the extent of review, research and other preparation to perform such analyses. If the Client or their agents attempt to influence our work, directly or indirectly, or if we are instructed to limit work or employ methods with which we disagree, we have the

absolute right to terminate work performed pursuant to this Agreement. Upon withdrawal, we will have no further obligation to perform work or to provide work product and shall be entitled to immediately receive payment for our services.
Confidentiality
Except as required in the performance of our services and work under this Agreement, we agree to keep confidential all information provided to us by you unless such information (a) is already known to us before disclosure by you, (b) is subsequently disclosed to us by a third party not known by us to be violating a duty of confidentiality to you, (c) becomes publicly available through no fault of ours or (d) is required by law, court order or regulatory authority or agency to be disclosed. We may also disclose information to our officers, members, employees, agents, contractors and advisors for purposes of providing our services. This Agreement may be disclosed to any court in connection with any attempt by us to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including seeking payment for services rendered to Client. Client gives Association Reserves the right to discuss this matter with attorneys, accountants, representatives, and other agents for the Client. This extends to other parties that we may designate as well as other individuals designated by Association Reserves including any colleagues of Association Reserves from whom professional information or services are sought.

Association Reserves’ Reliance
In performing our work, we will be relying on the accuracy, reliability, and completeness of the information Client or its agents provide, including contracts, financial, and non-financial information. We will attempt to obtain and compile the data used in this engagement from reliable sources but cannot guaranty the accuracy or completeness of third party information. In accordance with National Reserve Study Standards, information provided by Client or its agents regarding financial details, component physical details and/or quantities, or historical issues/conditions will be deemed reliable for use in preparing the Reserve Study and is not intended to be used for the purpose of performing any type of audit, quality/forensic analysis, or background checks of historical records. For “Full” Reserve Study levels of service, we attempt to establish measurements and component quantities within 5% accuracy through a combination of on-site measurements and observations, review of any available building plans or drawings, and/or any other reliable means. For “Update, With Site Visit” and “Update, No Site Visit” Reserve Study levels of service, the Client is considered to have deemed previously developed component quantities as accurate and reliable, including quantities that may have been established by other individuals or firms.
Client’s Reliance
Our engagement is not intended to and cannot be relied upon to disclose errors, irregularities, or illegal acts, including fraud or defalcations that may exist. Client understands that we will not audit, review, compile any financial statements, forecasts or other information, and we will not express an opinion or any form of assurance on them.
Limitations on Use of Our Work
Any documents and work product (regardless of form) generated by Association Reserves pursuant to this engagement are the sole and exclusive property of Association Reserves. Such documents and work product are not intended for general circulation or publication, but may be shared with the Client’s ownership/membership at its discretion without obtaining permission from Association Reserves.
Document/Evidence Retention
It is not our practice to retain working papers, notes, or data files that have been updated or superseded. If you wish us to follow a different retention practice, please indicate your specific request(s) in writing when returning a copy of this Agreement. The working papers and other materials created by us during this engagement are our property. Association Reserves shall have no duty to retain any copies of documents provided to us for more than 90 days after the termination of this Agreement, or 90 days after the date the final Reserve Study is submitted to you, whichever is earlier. At the Client’s expense, we will return original materials and documents supplied to us by the Client if a written request to do so is received by Association Reserves within the 90 days after the termination of this Agreement, or 90 days after the date the final Reserve Study is submitted to you, whichever is earlier.

Termination

Our engagement is terminable at any time upon written notice by you or by Association Reserves. Additionally, we will refuse to perform any requested act that we deem a violation of law, public policy, or our professional ethical standards, and may, as a result withdraw from the engagement without penalty. If we withdraw from this engagement, or the Client terminates our services for any reason or for no reason, the Client shall immediately pay Association Reserves for all services performed, and all expenses incurred by Association Reserves. If we are unable to complete the engagement for

any reason caused by the Client, the Client shall immediately pay Association Reserves for all services performed, and all expenses incurred by Association Reserves.
Limitation on Damages; Contribution and Limitation on Actions
Association Reserves will not be liable to the Client for any actions, damages, claims, liabilities, costs, expenses or losses in any way arising out of or relating to the services performed under the Agreement for an aggregate amount in excess of the fees paid or owing to Association Reserves for services rendered by Association Reserves under the Agreement. In no event, will Association Reserves be liable to the Client for consequential, special, indirect, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages, costs, expenses, or losses (including, without limitation, lost profits and opportunity costs). The provisions of this Section will apply regardless of the form of action, damage, claim, liability, cost, expense, or loss, whether in contract, statute, tort or otherwise.
In circumstances where all or any portion of the foregoing provisions of this Section are finally judicially determined to be unavailable, Association Reserves’ aggregate liability for any actions, damages, claims, liabilities, costs, expenses or losses arising out of or relating to the services performed under the Agreement will not exceed an amount that is proportional to the relative fault that Association Reserves’ conduct bears to all other conduct giving rise to such actions, damages, claims, liabilities, costs, expenses or losses.
No action, regardless of form, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, may be brought by the Client against Association Reserves more than one year after the cause of action has accrued.
To the fullest extent of the law, Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Association Reserves, its officers, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates, consultants, and contractors from and against any and all losses, costs, penalties, fines, damages, claims, actions, expenses (including attorney’s fees) or liabilities arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with the services contemplated by this Agreement.
You agree to pay our attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the event we have to retain an attorney and/or initiate litigation to collect any unpaid balance for our services.
In the event that Association Reserves is requested pursuant to subpoena, or other legal process, to provide testimony or produce its documents relating to this engagement in judicial or administrative proceedings to which Association Reserves is not a party, Client shall reimburse us at standard billing rates for our professional time and expenses, including reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Association Reserves responding, resisting, and/or complying with such request(s). We reserve the right to engage our own counsel to respond, resist, and/or comply with such request(s), and Client shall reimburse Association Reserves for such attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Association Reserves responding, resisting, and/or complying with such request(s).

Option A: Full Reserve Study

Full Reserve Study: $5,360

A Full Reserve Study is required when the Client has no prior Reserve Study, or wishes to start “from scratch” with a completely new study. This level of service is defined by National Reserve Study Standards as an engagement during which the following five Reserve Study tasks are performed for the first time: Component Inventory, Condition Assessment (based upon on-site visual observations), Life and Valuation Estimates, Fund Status and Funding Plan.
Note: If your property has had a prior Reserve Study (even if conducted by another provider) that you wish to have updated, please contact our office for Reserve Study Update pricing options. A complete copy of the prior study must be available for our review prior to submitting a new proposal.

Option B: Full Reserve Study with Loyalty Update Plan
(3-year Agreement)

Year 1: Full Reserve Study: $4,824 (includes 10% discount!) Year 2: Update, No-Site-Visit Reserve Study: $1,500 Year 3: Update, No-Site-Visit Reserve Study: $1,500

Updating your Reserve Study on a regular basis helps your property stay on track financially. This option helps you do that! Take advantage of a discounted fee on your initial Reserve Study, plus save money by locking in the price of your future updates!
This option is a three-year plan, including your initial Full Reserve Study (see Full Reserve Study description above), plus two No-Site-Visit updates performed over the following two consecutive fiscal years. Each No-Site-Visit update consists of the same general process and resulting report as a Full Reserve Study, except that in lieu of re-visiting the property, we will review all recent project history and financial information with the Client in order to properly update the component list and create an updated Financial Analysis.

Proposal Date: September 24, 2024
Client Name: Somerset Community Development District, Inc. Proposal Number: 54273-0
Schedule & Next Steps:
Once we receive your signed proposal, our office will provide you with a deposit invoice and Reserve Study Information Forms for you to complete. Inspections will be scheduled in the order in which payment and Information Forms are received by our office. As of the date listed on this proposal, recent changes to Florida legislation have created new requirements for all residential Florida condominium and cooperative associations with buildings three stories or higher to complete a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) by December 31, 2024. This regulation has significantly increased the demand for SIRS, impacting all Reserve Study providers in Florida, including Association Reserves. While your Association is not subject to these SIRS guidelines, we want to inform you of the heightened market demand. Tentative schedule for scheduling your inspection is spring 2025. Delivery of the completed Reserve Study would be within six weeks of completion of the site inspection. Please contact our office for more specific information regarding potential dates and timelines for completion.

Payment Terms:
Payment is required in two installments: 50% of the fee will be invoiced upon acceptance of this proposal. The remaining 50% balance will be invoiced following initial delivery of the Reserve Study.
