Upon execution of this Agreement, authorization is hereby given to proceed
with the Preliminary Phase. The Engineer shall:
(1) Attend preliminary conferences with the Owner and other
interested parties regarding the Project.
(2) Inspect all components of Plant No. 1, except the secondary
.sedimentation facilities which are being renovated by the
City, to determine those facilities, structures, and equip -
went which needs to be replaced or repaired. Prepare pre-
liminary designs, sketches and specifications in sufficient
detail to determine the improvements necessary to place
Plant No. 1 in operation. The plan shall be coordinated
with the Owner in all aspects.
(3) Prepare a brief written report, including narrative and
sketches to indicate the improvements required. Prepare
a schedule in the order of priority of construction of the
items required.
(4) Furnish the Owner 15 copies of the preliminary report,
sketches and cost estimates.
B. DESIGN PHASE
After review of the preliminary report the Owner shall authorize the Engi-
neer to proceed with the Design Phase for the items of highest priority, as
established in the preliminary report, which have a total estimated cost of
$541,000.00, including engineering cost. After written authorization to proceed
with the Design Phase, the Engineer shall:
II 1
(1) Establish the scope, and advise the Owner, of any soil
and foundation investigations or any special surveys
or special testing which, in the opinion of the Engi-
neer, may be required for the proper execution of the
Project; and arrange with the Owner for the conduct of
such investigations and tests. The performance of these
Investigations and tests is not a part of the Engineer's
basic services, and compensation therefor is not included
in the Basic Charge; it may be performed by the Engineer,
by agreement with the Owner, in which case compensation
shall be determined by the applicable portions of Section
VII.
(2) Furnish to the Owner, where required by the circumstances
of the assignment, the engineering data necessary for appli-
cations for routine permits by local, state and federal
authorities, as distinguished from detailed applications and
supporting documents for government grants-in-aid, or for
planning advances or to meet the requirements of special
programs of the Federal Government.
(3) Arrange with the Owner for field surveys to collect infor-
mation which, in the opinion of the Engineer, is required
in the design of the Project. The performance of field
surveys is not a part of the Engineer's basic services, and
compensation therefor is not included in the Basic Charge;
the surveys may be performed by the Engineer, by agreement
with the Owner, in which case compensation shall be determined
by applicable portions of Section VII.
(4) Prepare detailed specifications and contract drawings,
pencil on paper, for construction authorized by the Owner.
These designs shall in all respects combine the applica-
tion of sound engineering principles.
{5) Prepare detailed cost estimates and proposals of authorized

for construction of the Project, and recommend to the Owner
as to the proper action on all proposals received.
(3) Assist in the preparation of formal Contract Documents.
D. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
During the Construction Phase, the Engineer shall:
(1) Make periodic visits to the site (as distinguished from
the continuous services of a resident Project Representa-
tive described in Subparagraph 3 below) to observe the pro-
gress and quality of the executed work and to determine
in general if the work is proceeding in accordance with the
Contract Documents. In performing this service, the Engineer
will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous
on -site inspections to check the quality or quantity of
the work or material; he will not be responsible for the
techniques and sequences of construction or the safety
precautions incident thereto, and he will not be res-
ponsible or liable in any degree for the contractors'
failure to perform the construction work in accordance
II - 3
with the Contract Documents. During visits to the.con-
struction site, and on the basis of the Engineer's on -
site observations as an experienced and qualified design
professional, he will keep the Owner informed of the extent
of the progress of the work, and advise the Owner of mater-
ial and substantial defects and deficiencies in the work.
(2) Consult and advise with the Owner; make recommendations to
the Owner regarding materials and workmanship; and prepare
and issue change orders with Owner's approval. Routine
change orders, such as substitution of material or equip-
ment and extension of time are considered a part of the
Basic Service, therefore no extra charge could be made
for these services. However, change orders requested by
the Owner, or made necessary by changed site conditions,
shall be considered special services and shall be paid for
as specified in Paragraph VII, 24.
(3) If specifically authorized by the Owner in writing, furnish
the services of Resident Project Representatives, and other
field personnel for continuous on -the -site observation of
construction and for the performance of required construction
layout surveys. Furnishing the services of a Resident Project
Representative is not a part of the Engineer's basic services,
and compensation therefor is not included in the Basic Charge;
if provided, compensation shall be determined under Section VII(3).
The authority and duties of such Resident Project Represen-
tatives are limited to examining the material furnished and
observing the work done, and to reporting their findings to
the Engineer. The Engineer will use the usual degree of care
and prudent judgment in the selection of competent Project
Representatives, and the Engineer will use his best efforts
to see that the Project Representatives are on the job to
perform their required duties. It is agreed, however, that
the Engineer does not underwrite, guarantee, or insure the
work done by the contractors. Failure by any Project Repre-
sentative or other personnel engaged in on -the -site observa-
tion to discover defects or deficiencies in the work of the
contractors shall not relieve the contractor for liability
therefor or subject the Engineer to any liability for any
such defect or deficiencies.
(4) Review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop drawings,
laboratory, shop and mill tests of material and equipment
and other data which the contractor is required to submit,
for compliance with the information given by the Contract
Documents; and assemble written guarantees which are re-
quired by the Contract Documents.
(5) Prepare or review monthly and final estimates for Owner's
payments to contractors.
(6) Conduct, in company with the Owner, a final inspection of
the Project for compliance with the Contract Documents and
make recommendations to the Owner regarding completion of
the Project.
-(7) Revise contract drawings, with the assistance of the Resident
Project Representative, to provide record drawings of the
completed Project, and furnish one set of prints to the Owner.
The Engineer will exercise the usual degree.of care in preparing
these drawings; but he shall not be required to guaran-
tee the accuracy of the record drawings. Compensation for
record drawings is not part of Basic Charge and shall be
determined as described under Section VII (18). The
original tracings shall be furnished the Owner as speci-
fied in Section IX.
