location. The City of Round Rock will provide required civil engineering,
landscaping or other site -related services.

correctable prior to Project completion, and to any specific qualifications stated in the
Certificate); and that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.

Documents. Whenever Architect considers it necessary or advisable, Architect will have
authority to require inspection or testing of the work in accordance with the provisions of
the Contract Documents, whether or not such work is fabricated, installed or completed.

exercise or not exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of
Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their
agents or employees or other persons or entities performing portions of the work.
(13) Architect shall make recommendations on all claims and disputes of City or the
Contractor relating to the execution and progress of the work or the interpretation of the
Contract Documents, based upon such review and analysis by Architect as may
reasonably be required. In the event of litigation, where Architect is named as an

knowledgeable witnesses in the employ of Architect for expert testimony.
(14) Architect shall use its best efforts to promptly review and approve or reject shop
drawings, product data and samples and other submissions of the Contractor for
conformance only with the design concept of the Project and with the information given
in the Contract Documents. Architect shall establish and implement precise procedures,
to be approved by City's Director, for expediting the processing and approval of these
submissions without delay. Prompt review by Architect of submissions is of prime
importance to City and an absolute necessity under the time constraints of the Project.
(15) Architect shall prepare Change Orders and/or Construction Change Directives to the
construction contract, in six (6) copies, after review and approval by City. Each Change
Order shall be specific and final as to prices and extensions of time, with no reservations
or other provisions allowing for future additional money or time as a result of the
particular changes identified and fully compensated in the Change Order. Architect's
compensation for preparation of Change Orders, if any, shall be determined by Section
2.09(l) below.
(16) Architect shall conduct inspections to detennine the dates of substantial completion and
final completion, shall receive written guarantees and related documents assembled by
Contractor for submittal with the final Certificate of Payment, and shall prepare and
present final Certificate for Payment to Director for City's approval and payment. In
addition, Architect shall make inspection of the Project at least thirty (30) days before the
expiration of the one (1) year warranty contained in the Contractor's Perfonnance Bond.
(17) Architect shall conduct regularly scheduled progress meetings with City, the Contractor
and major Subcontractors. Minutes of same shall be prepared by Architect with copies
submitted to City's Director.
(18) Architect shall have authority to order minor changes in the construction work, consistent
with the Contract Documents, and not involving an adjustment in the Contractor's bid
price or an extension of the Project Schedule. Such changes shall be accomplished by
Field Order. In addition, Architect may issue written Field Orders which interpret the
Plans and Specifications, with copies submitted to City's Director.
(19) Architect shall assemble and deliver to City a set of reproducible Record Construction
Drawings showing significant changes in the work during the construction process and
final location of mechanical and electrical service lines and outlets, based upon marked -
up prints of drawings and other data furnished by the Contractor to Architect. Architect
shall provide Record Construction Specifications which will identify the changes in the
specifications on a sheet, which sheet will be inserted at the beginning of each section to
which they pertain.
(20) Architect shall obtain from the Contractor and forward to Owner the following: (1)
consent of surety or sureties, if any, of reduction in or partial release of retainage or the
making of final payment; and (2) affidavits, receipts, releases and waivers of liens or
bonds indemnifying Owner against liens.

Contractor during the warranty period. During the eleventh month following completion of the prime
general contract, Architect will arrange for a warranty inspection tour of the entire Project by authorized
representatives of City, the Subconsultants and of each prime contractor engaged on the Project.
Architect shall then prepare a list of work which needs to be done by each prime contractor to satisfy that
prime contractor's warranty obligations to City. For any non -warranty involvement of Architect,
payments shall be made based upon the Hourly Rate Schedule contained in this Agreement.
7

whereby continuous, full-time representation at the Project site is required, the conditions under which
such representation shall be furnished and the Project Representatives selected, employed and directed
shall be governed by an additional written Supplemental Agreement between City and Architect.
2.09 Additional Services. Architect shall perform Additional Services, as requested by City, after a
not -to -exceed amount has been mutually agreed upon in writing by Director and Architect. Where City
Council or City Manager authorization is required, Architect shall not proceed until the appropriate
Resolution or directive for such Additional Services has been delivered. The following services are not
covered under Article II, which defines and outlines Architect's Basic Services. If any of these Additional
Services are authorized in writing by Director in advance of their performance, they shall be paid for in
