STANDARD PROVISIONS (1) Consultant's Scope of Services and Additional Services. The Consultant's undertaking to perform professional services extends only to the services specifically described in this Agreement. However, if requested by the Client and agreed to by the Consultant by amendment to this Agreement, the Consultant will perform additional services ("Additional Services"), and such Additional Services shall be governed by these provisions. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the Client shall pay the Consultant for the performance of any Additional Services an amount based upon the Consultant's then - current hourly rates plus direct expenses including in-house duplicating, local mileage, telephone calls, and postage. Other direct expenses will be billed at 1.1 times cost. (2) Client's Responsibilities. In addition to other responsibilities described herein or imposed by law, the Client shall: (a) Designate in writing a person to act as its representative with respect to this Agreement, such person having complete authority to transmit instructions, receive information, and make or interpret the Client's decisions, so long as such decisions do not increase the expenditures of funds hereunder or otherwise alter the terms of this Agreement. (b) Provide all information and criteria as to the Client's requirements, objectives, and expectations for the project including all numerical criteria that are to be met and all standards of development, design, or construction. (c) Provide to the Consultant all previous non -confidential studies, plans, or other documents pertaining to the project in its actual possession, so long as Client shall be allowed to rely on such material, as such material shall relate to the Project, and all new data reasonably necessary in the Consultant's opinion, such as site survey and engineering data, environmental impact assessments or statements, zoning or other land use regulations, upon all of which the Consultant may rely if such reliance shall be reasonable. (d) Arrange for access to the site and other private or public property as required for the Consultant to provide its services. (e) Review all documents or oral reports presented by the Consultant and render in writing decisions pertaining thereto within a reasonable time so as not to delay the services of the Consultant, so long as such decisions do not increase the expenditures of funds hereunder or otherwise alter the terms of this Agreement. (f) Furnish approvals and permits from governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the project and approvals and consents from other parties as may be necessary for completion of the Consultant's services. (g) Cause to be provided such independent accounting, legal, insurance, cost estimating and overall feasibility services as the Client may require in furtherance of the project development. (h) Give prompt written notice to the Consultant whenever the Client becomes aware of any development that affects the scope and timing of the Consultant's services or any defect or noncompliance in any aspect of the project. (i) Bear all costs incident to the responsibilities of the Client, unless provided otherwise herein. (2A) The City Council of Client herein delegates the authority to act as the Client's representative under this Agreement to the City Engineer of Client, or his/her designee. (3) Period of Services. Unless otherwise stated herein, the Consultant will begin work timely after receipt of an executed copy of this Agreement and will complete the services within the time specified in this Agreement. Times for performance shall be extended as necessary for delays or suspensions due to circumstances that the Consultant does not control and cannot remedy through the exercise of diligence. (4) Method of Payment. Compensation shall be paid to the Consultant in accordance with the following provisions: (a) Invoices will be submitted periodically, via regular mail or email, for services performed and expenses incurred, if allowed by this Agreement. Payment of each invoice will be due within 30 days of receipt. Interest will be added to accounts at the rate as provided by the Texas Government Code. If the Client fails to make any payment due the Consultant under this or any other agreement within 30 days after the Consultant's transmittal of its invoice, the Consultant may, after giving notice to the Client, suspend services until all amounts due are paid in full. (b) The Client agrees that the payment to the Consultant is not subject to any contingency or condition, except as provided in this Agreement. The Consultant may negotiate payment of any check tendered by the Client, even if the words "in full satisfaction" or words intended to have similar effect appear on the check without such negotiation being an accord and satisfaction of any disputed debt and without prejudicing any right of the Consultant to collect additional amounts from the Client. (5) Use of Documents. All documents, including but not limited to drawings, specifications, reports, and data or programs stored electronically, prepared by the Consultant are related exclusively to the services described in this Agreement, and may be used by the Client for other projects at its sole risk. They are not intended or represented to be suitable for use, partial use or reuse by the Client or others on extensions of this project or on any other project. Any modifications made by the Client to any of the Consultant's documents, or any use, partial use or reuse of the documents without written authorization or adaptation by the Consultant will be at the Client's sole risk and without liability to the Consultant. Any authorization or adaptation will entitle the Consultant to further compensation at rates to be agreed upon by the Client and the Consultant. Any electronic files not containing an electronic seal are provided only for the convenience of the Client, and use of them is at the Client's sole risk. In the case of any defects in the electronic files or any discrepancies between them and the hardcopy of the documents prepared by the Consultant, the hardcopy shall govern. Only printed copies of documents conveyed by the Consultant may be relied upon. The reports, boring or test pit logs, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, construction cost projections, and other documents prepared by the Consultant, as instruments of professional service, shall remain the property of the Consultant. (6) Opinions of Cost. Because the Consultant does not control the cost of labor, materials, equipment or services furnished by others, methods of determining prices, or competitive bidding or market conditions, any opinions rendered as to costs, including but not limited to opinions as to the costs of construction and materials, shall be made on the basis of its experience and represent its judgment as an experienced and qualified professional, familiar with the industry. The Consultant cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids or actual costs will not vary from its opinions of cost. If the Client wishes greater assurance as to the amount of any cost, it shall employ an independent cost estimator. Consultant's services required to bring costs within any limitation established by the Client will be paid for as Additional Services. (7) Termination. The obligation to provide further services under this Agreement may be terminated by either party upon seven days' written notice in the event of failure by the other party to perform in accordance with the terms hereof through no fault of the terminating party, or upon thirty days' written notice for the convenience of the terminating party. In the event of any termination, the Consultant shall be paid for all services rendered and expenses incurred to the effective date of termination. If the Consultant's compensation is a fixed fee, the amount payable for services will be a proportional amount of the total fee based on the ratio of the amount of the services performed, as reasonably determined by the Consultant, to the total amount of services which were to have been performed. If this Agreement is terminated, the Consultant shall provide the Client all documents (level of completeness determined by the termination date), including but not limited to drawings, specifications, reports, and data prepared by the Consultant that are related exclusively to the services described in this Agreement. (S) Insurance. The Consultant shall procure and cant' Workers' Compensation insurance, professional liability insurance, and general liability insurance as set forth in Attachment A-1. (9) Standard of Care. In performing its professional services, the Consultant will use that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances, by reputable members of its profession in the same locality at the time the services are provided. No warranty, express or implied, except as expressly provided herein, is made or intended by the Consultant's undertaking herein or its performance of services, and it is agreed that the Consultant is not a fiduciary with respect to the Client. Client recognizes that subsurface conditions may vary from those encountered at the location where borings or test pits, surveys, or explorations are made by the Consultant and that the data, interpretations and recommendations of the Consultant are based solely on the information available to it. Client recognizes that the performance of soils depends on the variability beyond the control of the Consultant and therefore, Consultant cannot and does not guarantee the performance of the soils. The Consultant will be responsible for those data, interpretations and recommendations as indicated above, but shall not be responsible for the interpretation or implementation by others of the information developed. (10) LIMITATION OF DAMAGES. Under no circumstances shall the Consultant be liable for costs related to the failure of contractors to perform work in accordance with the plans and specifications. (11) Certifications. The Consultant shall not be required to execute certifications or third -party reliance letters that are inaccurate, that relate to facts of which the Consultant does not have actual knowledge, or that would cause the Consultant to violate applicable rules of professional responsibility. (12) Hazardous Substances and Conditions. (a) Services related to determinations involving hazardous substances or conditions, as defined by federal or state law, are limited to those tasks expressly stated in the scope of services. In any event, Consultant shall not be a custodian, transporter, handler, arranger, contractor, or remediator with respect to pre-existing hazardous substances and conditions. Consultant's services will be limited to professional analysis, recommendations, and reporting, including, when agreed to, plans and specifications for isolation, removal, or remediation. (b) The Consultant shall notify the Client of hazardous substances or conditions not contemplated in the scope of services of which the Consultant actually becomes aware. Upon such notice by the Consultant, the Consultant may stop affected portions of its services until the hazardous substance or condition is eliminated. The parties shall decide if Consultant is to proceed with its services and if Consultant is to conduct testing and evaluations, and the parties may enter into further agreements as to the additional scope, fee, and terms for such services. (13) Construction Phase Services. (a) If the Consultant provides construction phase services, the Consultant shall have no responsibility for any contractor's means, methods, techniques, equipment choice and usage, sequence, schedule, safety programs, or safety practices, nor shall Consultant have any authority or responsibility to stop or direct the work of any contractor. The Consultant's visits will be for the purpose of endeavoring to provide the Client a greater degree of confidence that the completed work of its contractors will generally conform to the construction documents prepared by the Consultant. Consultant neither guarantees the performance of contractors, nor assumes responsibility for any contractor's failure to perform its work in accordance with the contract documents. (b) The Consultant is not responsible for any duties assigned to the design professional in the construction contract that are not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Client agrees that each contract with any contractor shall state that the contractor shall be solely responsible for job site safety and for its means and methods; that the contractor shall indemnify the Client and the Consultant for all claims and liability arising out of job site accidents; and that the Client and the Consultant shall be made additional insureds under the contractor's general liability insurance policy. (14) No Third -Party Beneficiaries; Assignment and Subcontracting. This Agreement gives no rights or benefits to anyone other than the Client and the Consultant, and all duties and responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this Agreement will be for the sole benefit of the Client and the Consultant. The Consultant reserves the right to augment its staff with subconsultants, as approved by Client (the subconsultants specifically defined and described in the Agreement being approved by Client), as it deems appropriate due to project logistics, schedules, or market conditions. If the Consultant exercises this right, the Consultant will maintain the agreed-upon billing rates for services identified in the contract, regardless of whether the services are provided by in-house employees, contract employees, or independent subconsultants. (15) Confidentiality. The Client consents to the use and dissemination by the Consultant of photographs of the project and to the use by the Consultant of facts, data and information created by the Consultant in the performance of its services. If, however, any facts, data or information are specifically identified in writing by the Client as confidential, the Consultant shall use reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of that material. (16) Miscellaneous Provisions. This Agreement is performable in Lubbock County, Texas and is to be governed by the law of the State of Texas. Venue for any action under or related to this Agreement shall exclusively lie in courts of competent jurisdiction in Lubbock County, Texas. This Agreement contains the entire and fully integrated agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, representations, agreements or understandings, whether written or oral. This Agreement can be supplemented or amended only by a written document duly authorized and executed by both parties. Provided, however, that any conflicting or additional terms on any purchase order issued by the Client shall be void and are hereby expressly rejected by the Consultant. Any provision in this Agreement that is unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions. The non -enforcement of any provision by either party shall not constitute a waiver of that provision nor shall it affect the enforceability of that provision or of the remainder of this Agreement. (17) Provisions for Geotechnical Engineering and Testing Services (a) The analyses, conclusions, and recommendations provided as part of the Geotechnical Engineering Services are based on specific site conditions as they existed at the time of the field investigation and further on the assumption that the exploratory borings, soil conditions, and ground water observations, are representative of the subsurface conditions throughout the site; that is, the subsurface conditions everywhere are not significantly different from those disclosed by the borings at the time they were completed. If, during construction, different subsurface conditions from those encountered in the borings are observed, or appear to be present in excavations, the Client must notify the Consultant promptly so that the Consultant can review these conditions and reconsider the recommendations as necessary. If there is a substantial lapse of time between providing the initial recommendations and the start of the Project, if conditions have changed due either to natural causes or to construction operations at or adjacent to the site, or if structure locations, structural loads or finish grades change, the Client agrees to promptly inform the Consultant to determine the applicability of the initial recommendations. (b) Client will provide for right -of -entry for Consultant. Consultant will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to Project property. It is understood by the Client that in normal course of work some damage may occur, the correction of which is not part of this Agreement. Client agrees to hold the Consultant harmless for damage to utilities or subterranean structures which are not correctly located by the Client or the responsible utility. (d) Consultant will retain soil and rock samples for thirty (30) days after submitting the report on those samples. Construction materials samples collected and tested will be disposed after testing. Further storage or transfer of samples can be made at the Client's expense upon written request. (e) Consultant shall carry out in a safe manner all its field and laboratory activities, including without limitation mobilization, accessing the site, preparing the site, sampling, testing, observing construction or testing activities by others, demobilization, transportation to and from work sites, and handling samples. Consultant shall obey applicable laws, regulations, and recommended best practices for its activities and, with respect thereto, shall be solely responsible for selection and execution of means, methods, equipment, sequences, schedules, safety programs, and enforcement of safe practices. (f) Consultant shall examine the site before beginning any sampling or testing operations and shall exercise due care to locate and identify underground or above ground conditions that would affect or be affected by Consultant's services. Existing facilities of any nature that might be damaged in any way by Consultant's services shall be called to the attention of the Client before commencement of potentially damaging activities, and facilities so located or identified shall be given a pre -operations inspection (with documentation) by the Consultant. Consultant shall be responsible for location and time of sampling or testing, within normal industry standards and specifications. (g) All bore holes, test pits, observation wells, sample holes or pits, or similar modifications to the site as a result of the activities of the Consultant shall be protected by Consultant to prevent its employees, any other party, or animals from injury or damage. Before leaving the site of its activities, Consultant shall restore the site, including without limitation routes of access, to a condition reasonably the same as originally existed. With specific written authorization by the Client, restoration of the site of Consultant's activities and access routes thereto can be deferred if construction work in the near future will make such restoration unnecessary.
