attached hereto.
2.
All construction, maintenance, or operation in connection with such
Encroachment, use, or occupancy shall comply and be performed in strict compliance
with this Agreement and with the Charter, Ordinances, and Codes of the City, and in
accordance with the directions of the Director of the Transportation and Public Works
Department or the Director of the Water Department, or their duly authorized
representative. Prior to the construction of the Encroachment, Licensee shall submit all
plans and specifications to the applicable Director or duly authorized representative.
Licensee shall not commence construction of the Encroachment until such approval shall
be indicated in writing by the applicable Director or authorized representative. However,
such approval shall not relieve Licensee of responsibility and liability for concept, design,
and computation in the preparation of such plans and specifications.
3.
Licensee, at no expense to the City, shall make proper provisions for the
relocation and installation of any existing or future utilities affected by such
Encroachment, use, and occupancy, including the securing the approval and consent of
the appropriate utility companies and agencies of the State of Texas and its political
subdivisions. In the event that any installation, reinstallation, relocation, or repair of any
existing or future utility or improvements owned by or constructed by or on behalf of the
public or at public expense is made more costly by virtue of the construction,
maintenance, or existence of the Encroachment and use, Licensee shall pay to City an
additional amount equal to such additional cost as determined by the Director of
Transportation and Public Works or the Director of the Water Department, or their duly
authorized representative.
4.
Licensee agrees that City may enter and utilize the referenced areas at any time
for the purpose of installing, repairing, replacing, or maintaining improvements to its
public facilities or utilities necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the public, or
for any other public purpose. The City shall bear no responsibility or liability for any
damage or disruption or other adverse consequences resulting from the Encroachment
installed by Licensee, but City will make reasonable efforts to minimize such damage.
5.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall, at the option of and at no
expense to the City, remove the Encroachment and restore the Public Right-of-Way to a

condition acceptable to the Director of Transportation and Public Works or the Director
of the Water Department, or their duly authorized representative, in accordance with
then-existing City specifications. It is understood and agreed to by Licensee that if this
Agreement terminates and Licensee fails to remove the Encroachment as directed and
restore the Public Right-of-Way, Licensee hereby gives City permission to remove the
Encroachment and any supporting structures and assess a lien on the Property for the
costs expended by the City in taking such actions.
6.
In order to defray all costs of inspection and supervision which the City has
incurred or will incur as a result of the construction, maintenance, inspection or
management of the encroachments and uses provided for by this Agreement, Licensee
agrees to pay to City at the time this Agreement is requested an application fee in the sum
of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00). Additionally, Licensee agrees to pay a fee in the
amount of $1.44 per square/linear foot of the encroachment area upon execution of this
Agreement and annually thereafter.
7.
The term of this Agreement shall be for thirty (30) years, commencing on the
date this Agreement is executed by City. However, this Agreement may be terminated
upon Licensee's noncompliance with any of the terms of this Agreement. City shall
notify Licensee in writing of any noncompliance and if not cured within thirty (30) days,
this Agreement shall be deemed terminated, unless such noncompliance is not susceptible
to cure within thirty (30) days, in which case this Agreement shall be deemed terminated
in the event that Licensee fails to commence and take such reasonable steps as are
necessary to remedy the noncompliance within thirty (30) days after written notice
specifying the same, or having so commenced, thereafter fails to proceed diligently and
with continuity to remedy same.
8.
It is further understood and agreed between the parties hereto that the Public
Right-of-Way to be used and encroached upon is held by City as trustee for the public;
that City exercises such powers over the Public Right-of-Way as have been delegated to
it by the Constitution of the State of Texas or by the Texas Legislature; and that City
cannot contract away its duty and its legislative power to control the Public Right-of-Way
for the use and benefit of the public. It is accordingly agreed that if the governing body
of City may at any time during the term hereof determine in its sole discretion to use or
cause or permit the Public Right-of-Way to be used for any other public purpose,
including but not being limited to underground, surface, or overhead communication,
drainage, sanitary sewerage, transmission of natural gas or electricity, or any other public
purpose, whether presently contemplated or not, that the parties agree to negotiate in
good faith in order to accommodate the Encroachment and the public purpose.
