(Construction and Maintenance of Certain Lines) To construct and maintain all water distribution pipelines located between the meter facility (described in paragraph B(2) above) and the boundary of. Harnett County and Wake County. C. The Sellers and Purchaser Agree with Respect to Expansion of Sellers' Water Production Facilities as follows: 1. (General) It is specifically understood that County, (through its Department of Public Utilities, and as lessee of the facilities of Northeast Metro), and Northeast Metro find that their foremost obligation is to provide water' services to the citizens and residents of Harnett County. To that end, Sellers have heretofore entered into agreements with several water and sewer districts in Harnett County providing for the sale of water to such districts and intend to enter into similar agreements with proposed water service districts in the County. It is further understood that Sellers' water production facilities are currently capable of producing water in quantities in excess of the current needs within Harnett County, and that for such period as Harnett County does not require such excess capacity, the same or a portion thereof, may be sold to Purchaser as provided herein. It is the desire of the parties to provide procedures whereby the Purchaser may expand or participate in expansions of Sellers' water production facility so as to insure its right to purchase quantities of water hereunder. It is specifically acknowledged by the parties hereto that it is the intent and purpose of Section (C) of this Water Purchase Contract to make provisions for the following matters relative to the use of the capacity of the water production facility of the Sellers: (a) The currently existing production capacity of the Sellers' water production facility, and any additional production capacity paid for by the Sellers, shall first be allocated to the citizens and residents of Harnett County, and only such excess thereof as will not be necessary to meet the needs of the citizens and residents of Harnett County may be sold to Purchaser. (b) Production capacity which is paid for by the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, shall, for the term of this Water Purchase Contract, be the property of Purchaser and shall be allocated to the Purchaser as provided, without regard to the needs of the citizens and residents of Harnett County. 2. (Procedure Relating to Expansion) The procedure to be applied in expanding the said facility under any of the circumstances set out in this contract (unless specifically provided otherwise), shall be as follows: (a) Sellers shall employ consulting engineers to design the necessary alterations to expand the said water production facilities. Such alterations may include, but are not limited to, the upgrading, expansion, enlargement and /or addition of filters, basins, pumping facilities and such other items as will be necessary to accomplish the desired expansion. (b) Upon completion of the design of said alterations, pursuant to law, Sellers shall obtain the necessary permits from the applicable federal, state or local governments and /or agencies to proceed with the construction of the expansion. Thereafter, Sellers shall submit the expansion project for bids and shall award the contract(s) and proceed to construct the project. It is understood that Sellers have the right to rebid the project or take such other actions relative to the awarding of contract(s) as Sellers deem necessary and as provided by law. (c) The pro rata cost of that portion of the expanded water production facility capacity which is to be allocated exclusively to Purchaser shall be paid by Purchaser. Such costs shall include administrative costs of the Sellers, costs of engineering and design, and attorneys fees. Such amount of the cost to be paid by Purchaser shall be due and payable to Sellers as follows: One -third (1/3) thereof shall be due and payable within ten (10) days after the construction contract or contracts are awarded. One -third (1/3) thereof shall be due and payable within ten (10) days after notification to Purchaser by Sellers that one -half (1/2) of the expansions are completed. One third (1/3) thereof shall be due and payable within ten (10) days after notification to Purchaser by Sellers that the expansions are substantially completed. 2 3. (Incremental Expansions) It is the understanding of the Sellers and the Purchaser that because of the design of the existing water production facilities of Sellers, expansions of that water production facility must be made in increments resulting in a capacity enlargement of one million six hundred seventy thousand (1,670,000) gallons per day. It is contemplated by the parties that expansions to the said water production facilities as provided herein will be made in such increments, and that circumstances will -be such that the Sellers and Purchaser will obtain the capacity desired by each at the time of the addition of such increment. However, should the situation arise, under the various contingencies described herein, where Sellers desire to expand Sellers' production facility by an entire increment, and in order for Purchaser to make expansions to the said facility for allocation to itself, another increment must be added, then Purchaser agrees to pay for the entire cost of such additional increment. Likewise, should the situation arise where Sellers desire not to make an expansion, or desire not to make expansions to the extent necessary to complete an entire such increment (above the capacity desired by Purchaser), and in order for Purchaser to make expansions for allocation to itself, such full incremental expansion is required, then Purchaser agrees to pay for the entire cost of such increment. It is.understood that should these events occur, all such water production facility expansion paid for by Purchaser shall be allocated to Purchaser. 4. (Required Expansion by Purchaser) In the event that the . water consumption requirements of Harnett County reach a level where such requirements, when coupled with the needs of Purchaser, exceed 2,200,000 gallons per day, then and in that event, in order for Town to continue to purchase or begin to purchase water (whichever the case may be) from Sellers hereunder in any amount, (without a diminution of the ,same equal to the needs within Harnett County), Purchaser shall be obligated to pay for such water production facility expansion as is required to increase' Sellers' production capabilities to meet the maximum requirements. of Purchaser hereunder, to wit: one million (1,000,000) gallons per day; that is to say, at such time as stated, Purchaser shall pay for that - portion of Sellers' water production facility capacity as is required to meet the maximum requirements of Purchaser hereunder. The procedures relative to the expansion of such facilities as the same relate to Purchaser, shall be as follows: (a) At such time as the currently existing water production facilities of Sellers, now owned by Northeast Metro, and operated by County (whether at such time owned as stated or otherwise) reach a use where the average daily water flow, together with the needs of Purchaser, exceed 2,200,000 gallons -'per day County and /or. Northeast Metro shall initiate studies to determine the required expansion of such facilities to meet the needs of Purchaser hereunder. (b) County or Northeast. Metro shall notify Purchaser in writing that the use capacity- of Sellers' water production system has exceeded 2,200,000 gallons per day and that the expansions provided for hereunder are needed. Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, provide Sellers with a Letter of Intent as to its decision regarding participation in expansion of Sellers' water production 253 facilities. Within One hundred sixty (160) days after the date of Sellers' notice to Purchaser, Purchaser shall provide to Sellers in writing a final binding statement as to its decision. In the event Purchaser does not elect to participate in the expansion, the rights of Purchaser hereunder shall be determined as set forth in subparagraph C(5)(a). (c) Upon receipt of notification of Purchaser's agreement to participate in the expansions as provided, the Sellers and Purchaser shall proceed as provided in paragraph C(2) above. 5. (Procedure in the Event of Certain Contingencies) In the event that circumstances are such that the expansion of Sellers' water production facilities are not accomplished as contemplated in paragraph C(4) hereof, then where applicable, the following procedures shall be employed: (a) In the event Purchaser does not elect to participate in the expansion as provided in paragraph C(4) and advises the Sellers of such decision (as provided in subparagraph C(4)(b)1 or fails to advise Sellers of its decision, then Sellers' shall have no obligation to sell water to Purchaser, except as to any excess capacity (not necessary to meet the needs of the citizens and residents of Harnett County). In the event Purchaser should thereafter wish to expand the production facilities of Sellers so as to obtain water production facility capacity for allocation to itself, Purchaser shall notify Sellers of such fact in writing; thereafter, the procedures set forth in paragraph C(2) shall be applied except that the entire cost of the expansion shall be paid by Purchaser; and said costs shall be due and payable over the course of the construction period within ten (10) days after the submission of periodic pay estimates (as issued by the contractor(s) and /or engineer) by Sellers to Purchaser. It is understood that should this series of events occur, all such water production facility expansion paid for by Purchaser shall be allocated to Purchaser. (b) In the event Sellers do not elect to participate in the expansion as provided in paragraph C(4), then if Purchaser desires to expand the plant, Purchaser agrees to proceed therewith and agrees to pay the entire cost of the expansion. It is understood that should this series of events occur, all such water production facility expansion paid for by Purchaser shall be allocated to Purchaser. The procedures described in paragraph C(2) shall be utilized in constructing the expansions, except as to the amount of cost, which cost shall be. borne solely by Purchaser, and shall be due and payable over the course of the construction period within ten (10) days after the submission of periodic pay estimates (as issued by the contractors) and /or engineer) by Sellers to Purchaser. (c) In the event Sellers should elect to expand their water production facilities prior to the time stated in paragraph C(4) or prior to the time Purchaser begins to purchase water from Sellers, Purchaser shall have the option to participate in such expansions at that time and thereby fulfill all, or a portion of, its obligations hereunder as to expansion of the Sellers' water production facilities. It is understood that this provision in no way limits Sellers rights to expand the water production facilities in any size increments Sellers desire. In the event Sellers elect to construct such expansion, Sellers shall advise Purchaser in writing thereof, and Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, advise Sellers in writing as to whether or not Purchaser desires to participate in the expansion and, if applicable; the size of the expansion desired by Purchaser. should the desired expansion require the Sellers water production facilities to be expanded into an additional increment [as explained in paragraph C(3)], then the entire cost thereof shall be borne by Purchaser. The procedures relative to construction of the expansions and the payments for the same shall be as provided in paragraph C(2). . In the event Purchaser shall elect not to participate in such expansions as described in this subparagraph C(5) (c) or shall have elected to participate in the same, but not have met its obligation to provide.the one million (1,000,000) gallon per day production capacity, and Sellers expand Sellers' water production facilities, it is understood that such additional capacity as is thereby created which is paid for by Sellers shall be used for the benefit of the citizens and residents of Harnett County, and only such portion thereof as is not required to meet the needs of Harnett County shall or may be sold to Purchaser. Moreover, such additional capacity in no way shall be deemed to lessen the obligations of Purchaser hereunder nor obligate Sellers to sell any portion thereof to Purchaser. Further, should Purchaser thereafter wish to expand the production facilities of Sellers so as to obtain water production facility capacity for allocation to itself, Purchaser shall notify Sellers of such fact in writing; .thereafter the procedures set forth in paragraph C(2) shall be applied except that the entire cost of the expansion shall be paid by Purchaser and said costs shall be due and payable over the course of the f construction period within ten (10) days after the submission of periodic pay estimates (as issued by the contractor(s) and /or engineer) by Sellers to Purchaser. It is understood that should this series of events occur, all such water production facility expansion paid for by Purchaser shall be allocated and sold to Purchaser. 6. (Ownership of Facilities) It is understood that such upgraded, expanded, enlarged or additional facilities as are made or constructed hereunder shall be and remain the property of County. and /or Northeast Metro, and Purchaser shall have no right, title or interest in or to the same, except as to the rights of Purchaser hereunder relative to the production capacity allocations paid for by Purchaser. 7. (Additional Expansions by Sellers) in the event Sellers find that it is necessary or deem that it is advisable to make further water production facilities expansions, (beyond those described in the situations provided in this section), it is understood that such other expansions may be made at any time or the same time as any of those described. The cost of the further expansions shall be paid by Sellers. 8. (Future Expansions by Purchasers) In the event Purchaser shall desire to purchase quantities of water in excess of the amounts provided for herein, it is agreed that Purchaser may make additional expansions to the Sellers water production facilities, provided that: (a) Sellers shall be given :the option to participate in the expansion(s); (b) Sellers shall not be required to participate in the expansion(s) ;. 255 (c) Sellers shall have, without need for enlargement or expansion of any kind, sufficient water transportation facilities to deliver the quantities of water to Purchaser; (d) Purchaser shall pay for its share of water production facility capacity which will be allocated to it: and (ei The procedures relative to expansions as provided in paragraphs C(2) and C(3) shall be utilized in the expansion project(s); except that where the expansion project is paid for solely by Purchaser, payments for such expansion shall be made over the course of construction within ten (10) days after the submission of periodic pay estimates (as issued by the contractor(s) and /or engineer) by Sellers to Purchaser. D. It is further mutually agreed between the Sellers and the Purchaser as follows: 1. (Relationship of County and Northeast Metro) As recited hereinabove, the system of Northeast Metro has been leased to County, and pursuant to the terms of said lease, County has the option to purchase the system of Northeast Metro.
