ATTACHMENT A
TO
CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
SCOPE OF SERVICES
ATTACffiVIENT A
TO
CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Owner: City of Lubbock, Texas
Project: Professional Engineering Services and Related Services for MacKenzie Park
Drainage Improvements and Irrigation System
Engineer expects this project will require three (3) Construction Contracts as follows:
Contract No. 1 - Increase Water Storage
Contract No. 2 - Low Water Crossing
Contract No. 3 - Ball Field Sprinkler Irrigation
The following Scope of Services applies to each Construction Contract.
SECTION 1 - DESIGN PHASE
A. Design Phase
Upon execution of this Agreement, authorization is hereby given to proceed with the Design
Phase.
During the Design Phase, the Engineer shall:
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 Engineer, 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 with compensation
determined by the applicable portions of Attachment B.
2. Furnish to the Owner, where required by the circumstances of the assignment, the
engineering data necessary for applications 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. Establish the scope and advise the Owner of any field surveys, in the opinion of the
Engineer, may be required for the proper execution of the Project; and arrange with
the Owner for the conduct of such surveys. The performance of field surveys is not
a part of the Engineer's basic services, and compensation therefor is not included in
A - 1
the Basic Charge; it may be performed by the Engineer with compensation determined
by the applicable portions of Attachment B.
4. Prepare for incorporation in the Contract Documents final Drawings showing the
scope, extent and character of the work to be performed and furnished by Contractor
and Specifications (which will be prepared, where appropriate, in general conformance
with the sixteen division format of the Construction Specifications Institute).
5. Prepare detailed opinions of probable Construction Cost of authorized construction,
which shall include summaries of bid items and quantities which will be based,
wherever practical, on the unit price system of bidding. The Engineer shall not be
required to guarantee the accuracy of these opinions of costs.
6. Furnish the Drawings and Specifications to and review them with the Owner. The
Engineer will make, without expense to the Owner, such revisions of the Drawings
and Specifications as may be required to meet the needs of the Owner, but after a
definite plan has been approved by the Owner, if a decision is subsequently made by
the Owner which, for its proper execution, involves extra services and expenses for
changes in, or addition to the drawings, specifications or other documents, or if the
Engineer is put to labor or expense by delays imposed on him from causes not within
his control, such as by (but not limited to) the readvertisement of bids or by the
delinquency or insolvency of contractors, the Engineer shall be compensated for such
extra services and expense, which services and expense shall not be considered as
covered by the Basic Charges stipulated in this Agreement. Compensation for such
extra services shall be in accordance with the provisions of Attachment B.
7. Furnish to the Owner all necessary copies of Drawings and Specifications required for
review by Owner and regulatory agencies. All sets of Drawings and Specifications
in excess of five (5) are to be paid for separately under Attachment B.
8. Furnish to the Owner reproducible originals of the Drawings and Specifications for
Owner's incorporation into the Contract Documents.
B. Bidding Phase
During the Bidding Phase the Engineer shall:
1. Assist the Owner in the advertising and obtaining bids for the Project.
2. Assist in conducting a pre -bidding conference.
3. Prepare Addenda as appropriate to clarify, correct or change the Bidding Documents.
4. Assist the Owner in the bid opening, prepare bid tabulation and assist the Owner in
evaluating bids for the Project. Recommend to the Owner as to action on all bids
received.

C. Construction Phase
During the Construction Phase, the Engineer shall:
1. Assist in conducting a pre -construction conference. Prepare a record of the meeting
for distribution.
A - 2
2. Make periodic visits to the site (as distinguished from the continuous services of a
Resident Project Representative described in Subparagraph 4 below) to observe the
progress 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 selected by Contractor(s) or the safety
precautions incident thereto, and he will not be responsible or liable in any degree for
the contractor's failure to perform the construction work in accordance with the
Contract Documents. During visits to the construction 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 material and substantial defects and deficiencies in the work. Engineer's
visits will be limited to one site visit every other week during the construction period.
3. During such visits and on the basis of such observations, Engineer shall have the
authority to disapprove of or reject Contractor's work while it is in progress if
Engineer believes that such work will not produce a completed Project that conforms
generally to the Contract Documents or that it will prejudice the integrity of the design
concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract
Document.
4. Engineer shall issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of the Contract
Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of the work. Such clarifications
and interpretations will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from
the Contract Documents. Engineer may issue Field Orders authorizing minor
variations from the requirements of the Contract Documents.
5. Engineer shall recommend Change Orders and Work Change Directives to Owner as
appropriate, and shall prepare Change Orders and Work Change Directives as
required. Routine change orders, such as substitution of material or equipment and
extension of time are considered a part of the Basic Service, therefore no extra charge
will 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 separately under Attachment B.
6. Engineer shall review and approve (or take other appropriate action in respect of)
Shop Drawings and Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit,
but only for conformance with the information given in the Contract Documents and
compatibility with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole
as indicated in the Contract Documents. Such reviews and approvals or other action
will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of
construction or to safety precautions and programs incident thereto.
7. 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; compensation shall be determined under Attachment B. The authority and
duties of such Resident Project Representatives are limited to examining the material
A - 3
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 Contractor(s). Failure by any Project Representative or other personnel
engaged in on -the -site observation 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, if the Project
Representative had no actual knowledge of the defect.
8. 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 required by the Contract Documents.
9. Based on his on -site observations as an experienced and qualified design professional
and on his review of the Contractor's applications for payment and the accompanying
data and schedules, determine the amounts owing to the Contractor and approve in
writing payments to the Contractor in such amounts; such approvals of payment will
constitute a representation to Owner, based on such observations and review, that the
work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of his knowledge,
information and belief, the quality of the work is in accordance with the Contract
Documents (subject to an evaluation of the work as a functioning Project upon
Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents and to any qualifications stated in his approval). By approving an
application for payment, Engineer will not be deemed to have represented that he has
made any examination to determine how or for what purpose any Contractor has used
the monies paid on account of the Contract Price or that title to any of the
Contractor's work, materials or equipment has passed to Owner free and clear of any
lien, claims, security interests or encumbrances.
10. 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.
11. 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 guarantee the accuracy of the record
drawings. Compensation for record drawings is not part of Basic Charge and shall
be determined as described under Attachment B.
12. Provide the Owner with one set of reproducible project drawings. If item (11) above
is authorized, the drawings shall be record drawings. If item (11) is not authorized,
the advertised project drawings will be provided in reproducible form.
