Whereas, SLM owns four inactive irrigation wells (the “Inactive Wells”) within Pima’s service area for
which Pima has no future intended use. The Inactive Wells are registered with the Arizona Department of

this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Parties covenant and agree as follows:

3,0 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF INTERTIES
3.1 Interties will be established for delivery of water from City’s domestic water system to Pima’s
domestic water system at the locations identified on the attached Exhibit A, incorporated by
this reference. City and Pima may establish additional points of delivery or modify points of
delivery if mutually agreed upon in writing. During the design review, City reserves the right
to change the locations and capacity of the proposed interties as necessary to ensure
adequate volumes of water can be supplied while maintaining the integrity of City’s
distribution system.
3.2 Pima will, at its expense, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject
to Arizona Revised Statutes Title 34, contract for the design and construction of new and/or
modified interties between the City’s domestic water system and Pima’s domestic water
system at the locations described in Subsection 3.1 above. Subject to City’s approval and in
compliance with Title 34, Pima will select and hire an engineer to design and prepare plans
for such construction of the interties (the “Intertie Improvement Plans”). Pima or its engineer

Intertie tmprovement Plans.
3.3 Once the intertie Improvement Plans are approved pursuant to Subsection 3.2 above (the
“Approved Plans”), Pima shall have the right, at Pima’s expense, to select, with the reasonable
approval of City and in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes Title 34, a contractor or
contractors to perform the construction work in accordance with such plans and may
negotiate a construction contract for the construction of the intertie improvements as set
forth on the Approved Plans (the “Approved Improvements”). Pima shall not permit any lien
or claim of lien to be recorded or asserted against the real property on which the City water
facilities are located for any work done or materials furnished in connection with the design
or construction by Pima of the Approved Improvements and in the event any such lien or
claim of lien arises, Pima shall cause the same to be released of record (either by payment or
posting of a statutory bond) within fifteen (15) days following written demand from City. The
Approved Improvements shall be deemed completed upon (i) delivery to City of a certificate
3

submission of paid invoices from the contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) evidencing the total
actual cost of design and construction of the Approved Improvements, together with final lien
waivers, (iif) delivery of “as built” plans for the Approved Improvements prepared by Pima’s
engineer, (iv) satisfactory inspection and approval by City of the Approved Improvements and
as-built plans prior to the site commencing operation, and {v) final acceptance by the City of
the Approved Improvements on City’s property.
3.4 City shall grant Pima a temporary construction easement allowing Pima and its contractors
and subcontractors to enter upon the real property on which City’s water distribution system
is located in order to construct the Approved Improvements. Moreover, City agrees to
reasonably cooperate with Pima in connection with (i) obtaining all necessary governmental
permits and approvals for the construction of the Approved Improvements; and (ii) taking
such other action as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the purpose and intent of
this Agreement, including without limitation granting Pima any licenses, easements, or
encroachment permits necessary for the installation and operation of the Approved
Improvements. Nothing in this Section shail be construed as a waiver of Pima’s obligation to
comply fully with all applicable provisions of the City Code, including payment of fees.

water delivered from City to Pima, including flush volumes.
