Parties hereto, the MPO and the Consultant do mutually agree as follows:

Consultant Contract for GIS Services — Lubbock Metropolitan Planning Organization & City of Lubbock —June, 2017 Page 1
payments of the fixed fee based on the amount of work completed by the Consultant. All payments
made hereunder will be made on the basis of reimbursement of actual costs incurred, not to exceed
the limits authorized in this Article. To be eligible for reimbursement, a cost must be incurred
within the Term and be authorized or not prohibited in Exhibit A. All costs must be supported by
source documents which comply with generally accepted accounting practices. Payment of costs
incurred is further governed by cost principles outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part
31, Subpart 31.2, Contracts with Commercial Organizations.
Article 3.1 Consideration
The consideration to be paid for the Services shall be on a per -task -completed basis. This
amount shall be invoiced to the MPO monthly as work is performed, or as otherwise agreed to
in writing by the Parties.
Article 3.2 Basis for Compensation
It is understood by the MPO that in some cases the tasks listed in Exhibit A are a continuing
process and that the completion of each task is ongoing. The Consultant may charge the MPO
on a recurring basis throughout the year provided that the MPO is furnished by the 15a` day of
each month a detailed description of the task completed including at a minimum:
(1) The number of man-hours used to perform the task;

writing. In the event that the MPO finds that such work does constitute additional work, the MPO
shall so advise the Consultant and provide compensation for doing the work on the same basis as
the original work or the MPO shall advise the Consultant not to perform the work. If the
Consultant Contract for GIS Services — Lubbock Metropolitan Planning Organization & City of Lubbock —June, 2017 Page 2

will make such corrections, and no compensation will be paid for the corrections.

EXHIBIT A: Scope of Services
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
The following items shall be included in the scope of services to be rendered by the Consultant
pursuant to this Contract (the "Project"). It is understood and agreed that unless this Contract is
extended by Parties, mutually and in writing, no activity or compensation therefore shall be made
after September 30, 2018, and that the Project shall be completed in full before said date except as
otherwise provided for in this Scope of Services.
The stated purpose of this Project is to enhance the ongoing update of the City of Lubbock Land
Use Data Files in order to be able to provide more accurate data input to the Texas Department of
Transportation's (TxDOT's) Travel Demand Model for forecasting future traffic volumes within
the Transportation Analysis Zones (the "TAZ").
This Project will result in spatial and tabular datasets, including geographic and demographic
information for areas inside the Metropolitan Area Boundary (the "MAB") and the TAZ. Products
include:
(1) Spatial and tabular data, including political and census boundaries, the TAZ and Serial
Zone and other special areas as needed;
(2) Geocoded street centerline information for areas within the TAZ. The centerline segments
will be maintained by 100 blocks to facilitate traffic modeling;
(3) Flood plain data within the approved TAZ to the extent that such data is available from
Federal Emergency Management Agency and other sources;
(4) Demographic data, as it becomes available from the Census Bureau and other sources;
(5) Bus routes and stops, bus shelters, major traffic generators and other transit improvements
to facilitate Title VI compliancy when requested by the MPO and with the cooperation of
Citibus;
(6) Detailed parcel mapping and database information processed from Lubbock Central
Appraisal records, plats, building permits, and other sources for the area within the
Lubbock city limits. Services include daily database maintenance and record maintenance
to ensure accurate and comprehensive data in the Consultant's land use database; and
(7) More general land use information may be collected for areas outside the city limits but
within the MAB and the TAZ from available sources as needed.
The Consultant will manage the Travel Demand Update data by the TAZ and will be able to
produce studies including but not limited to:
(1) Revising statistical data by TAZ from multiple sources, including identifying special
generators;
Consultant Contract for GIS Services —Lubbock Metropolitan Planning Organization & City of Lubbock —June, 2017 Page 12
(2) Reviewing the demographic chapter of the Lubbock Metropolitan Plan;
(3) Providing demographic information as requested by the MPO;
(4) Maintaining current geographic and political boundaries, including the TAZ, for the
Census Bureau; and
(5) Other activities as requested by the MPO.
(6) The Consultant will also assist the MPO in updating the Travel Demand Model through
GIS assistance, including map production. The Consultant will also assist in map
production for Title VI and Environmental Justice requirements.
(7) The Consultant will also provide information about buildings, structures and sites for
Section 106 review of projects in the MPO area, using the existing resources of the City of
Lubbock Historic Site Survey and the Lubbock County Historical Survey (2008-2010).
This does not, however, obligate the Consultant to undertake additional historical research
for MPO projects nor to act as a cultural resources consultant on projects in the MPO area.
(8) The Consultant will include the MPO on its enterprise license agreement with Esri, and
