RE: Caribe Palm COD - Annual Engineer's Report Dear Mr. Silva,
Ford Engineers, Inc (FEI) was asked to prepare a Consulting Engineer's Report per Section 9.21 of the Master Trust Indenture for the Caribe Palm COD. The scope of work for this report included the following:

Inspect and report findings as to whether portions of the project currently owned by the District have been maintained in good repair, working order and condition.
Recommendations as to funds (estimated) necessary for proper maintenance, repair and operation of the District infrastructure as/if required.

Ford Engineers visited the site on April 10th , 2020 and observed and photographed the infrastructure improvements that are currently owned by the District. Below are our findings:

Improvements that are currently owned by the District consist of two park tracts (Tracts Q & R) and two entrance feature tracts (Tracts A & N). The landscaped areas and parks are in good condition and appear to be well-maintained. All areas seem to have been recently mown, hedges and shrubs trimmed, and there are no undesirable weeds or overgrown areas. Entrance features appear clean, well-painted, and in good condition.

Maintenance of park and entrance landscaping should be done on a monthly basis but can fluctuate due to seasonal rain conditions. We recommend that approximately $5,200 be allocated annually for the maintenance, repair, and operation of the above infrastructure, as required (see Exhibit C). The estimated cost is based on unit prices currently being experienced for on-going and similar items of work in Miami-Dade County and quantities as represented on the approved construction plans. The labor market, future costs of equipment and materials, and the actual construction process are all beyond control. Due to this

inherent opportunity for fluctuation in cost, the total final cost may be more or less than this estimate.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please advise. Sincerely,
FORD ENGINEERS, INC.
