B. DESIGN PHASE
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
therefore is not included in the Basic Charge; it may be per-
formed by the Engineer, by agreement with the Owner, in which
case compensation shall be determined by the applicable por-
tions of Section VI D.)
2. Furnish to the Owner, where required by the circum-
stances 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, state loan
programs, planning advances or to meet the requirements of
special programs of the federal government).
3. Perform field surveys to collect information which
in the opinion of the Engineer, is required in the design of
the Project. Construction staking for the Construction
Improvements is not included in the Basic Charge.
4. Prepare detailed specifications and contract draw-
ings, in pencil on paper, for construction authorized by the
Owner. These designs shall in all respects combine the ap-
plication of sound engineering principles with a high degree
of economy, and shall be submitted to the applicable state
and federal agencies for approval.
5. Prepare detailed cost estimates and proposals of
authorized construction, which shall include summaries of bid
items and quantities which will be based, wherever practical,
-2-
on the unit price system of bidding. The Engineer shall not
be required to guarantee the accuracy of these estimates.
6. Furnish the Owner all necessary copies of approved
plans, specifications, notices to bidders, and proposals.
All sets of plans and specifications in excess of twenty-five
(25) are to be paid for separately. Additional sets will be
paid for in accordance with Attachment No. 3 - Hourly Rate
Schedule.

connection with the project. The Owner will provide excava-
tion to determine location and depth of underground water and
sewer lines. Utilities to be relocated by others shall be
noted on the plans. City -owned utilities to be relocated
also shall be noted on the plans. Where feasible, relocation
of City -owned utilities shall be included in the construction
contract.
8. Provide a letter for the Owner's signature to each
utility operating within the City of Round Rock advising them
of the project and describing any known relocations to be
performed by that utility and setting forth a proposed con-
struction schedule. This letter and a complete set of plans
shall be delivered to each utility by the Engineer. The
Engineer shall provide timely assistance and location stakes
as necessary for utility relocations to assure that utility
relocations do not delay the project.
9. Provide easement and right -of -way descriptions to
the Owner in conjunction with submission of final plans.
These will be provided in the form of field notes and draw-
ings of the affected properties. These services will be paid
for in accordance with Attachment No. 3 - Hourly Rate Sche-
dule.
10. Provide field note descriptions to the Owner for any
site(s) that is required for Owner to acquire that is asso-
ciated with this Project. These descriptions will be provid-
ed within thirty (30) days after authorization by Owner, bar-
ring unforeseen and unusual difficulties associated with the
property. These services will be paid for in accordance with
Attachment No. 3 - Hourly Rate Schedule.
C. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
1. Assist the Owner in the advertisement of the Project
for bids.
-3-
2. Assist the Owner in the opening and tabulating of
bids 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 Docu-
ments for the contracts.
4. Make periodic visits to the site (as distinguished
from the continuous services of a resident Project Represen-
tative described in Subparagraph 6 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 Con-
tract 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 responsible or liable in any
degree for the contractors' failure to perform the construc-
tion 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 quali-
fied 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 of contractors which are discovered by the Engineer or
otherwise brought to the Engineer's attention in the course
of construction, and may, on behalf of the Owner, exercise
whatever rights the Owner may have to disapprove work and
materials as failing to conform to the Contract Documents.
5. Consult and advise with the Owner; issue all in-
structions to the contractor requested by the Owner; and pre-
pare routine change orders as required.
6. 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 construc-
tion layout surveys. (This service is not a part of the
Engineer's basic services, and compensation therefore is not
included in the Basic Charge; if provided, compensation shall
be determined under Section VI D.) The authority and duties
of such Resident Project Representatives are limited to exam-
ining 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 Engi-
neer will use diligence to see that the Project Representa-
tives are on the job to perform their required duties. It is
-4-
agreed, however, that the Engineer does not underwrite,
guarantee, or insure the work done by the contractors, and
since it is the contractors' responsibility to perform the
work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Engineer
is not responsible or liable for the contractors' failure to
do so, and, so long as Engineer has exercised the usual
degree of care and prudent judgment in selecting Project
Representatives and has used diligence to see that they are
on the job to perform the work, failure by any Project Repre-
sentatives or other personnel engaged in on- the -site observa-
tion to discover defects or deficiencies in the work of the
contractors shall never relieve the contractors of liability
therefore or subject the Engineer to any liability for any
such defect or deficiencies.
7. Review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop draw-
ings, laboratory, shop and mill tests of materials and equip-
ment and other data which the contractor is required to sub-
mit, only for conformance with the design concept of the Pro-
ject and compliance with the information given by the Con-
tract Documents; and assemble written guarantees which are
required by the Contract Documents.
8. Review monthly and final estimates for payments to
contractors, and furnish to the Owner any necessary certifi-
cations as to payments to contractors and suppliers in a form
acceptable to the City.
9. Conduct, in company with the Owner, a final inspec-
tion of the Project for conformance with the design concept
of the Project and compliance with the Contract Documents,
and approve in writing final payment to the contractors.
10. Revise contract drawings, with the assistance of the
resident Project Representatives, or the Owners representa-
tive, to provide record drawings of the completed Project.
Furnish one set of reproducible drawings and one set of
prints of these revised drawings to the Owner.
SECTION III
AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICES
No professional services of any nature shall be under-
taken by the Engineer under this Agreement until he has re-
ceived written authorization from the Owner.
-5-
SECTION IV
PERIOD OF SERVICE
This Agreement shall be effective upon execution by the
Owner and the Engineer, and shall remain in force until term-
inated under the provisions hereinafter provided in Section
X.
SECTION V
COORDINATION WITH THE OWNER
The Engineer shall hold periodic conferences with the
Owner, or its representatives, to the end that the Project,
as perfected, shall have full benefit of the Owner's exper-
ience and knowledge of existing needs and facilities, and be
consistent with its current policies and construction stan-
dards. To implement this coordination, the Owner shall make
available to the Engineer, for use in planning the Project,
all existing plans, maps, field notes, statistics, computa-
tions, and other data in his possession relative to existing
facilities and to the Project.
SECTION VI
THE ENGINEER R S COMPENSATION
For and in consideration of the services to be rendered
by the Engineer, the Owner shall pay, and the Engineer shall
receive the compensation hereinafter set forth, for the Pre-
liminary, Design, and Construction Phases of the work and for
Special Assignments and Services not included in these phas-
es. All remittances by Owner of such compensation shall
either be mailed or delivered to the Engineer's office in
Round Rock, Williamson County, Texas Where the
compensation is based on a percentage of construction cost,
the charge for each separate phase shall be based on the
"construction cost" of all work authorized by the Owner at
one time, and handled by the Engineer in accordance with this
Agreement.
"Construction Cost" is defined as the total cost to the
Owner for the execution of the work authorized at one time
and handled in each separate phase of engineering services,
excluding fees or other cost for engineering and legal ser-
vices, the cost of land, rights -of -way, legal and administra-
tive expenses; but including the direct cost to the Owner of
-6-
all construction contracts, items of construction, including
labor, materials and equipment required for the completed
work (including extras) and the total value at site of pro-
ject of all labor, materials, and equipment purchased or fur-
nished directly by the Owner for the Project.
The aggregate of all sums paid to the Engineer for each
Phase of Construction will equal one hundred percent (100%)
of the basic compensation determined from the actual total
construction costs. If the designed facilities exceed the
available funding after receiving bids or negotiating a con-
tract price, then the facilities which are deleted will be
paid for at a later date when they are awarded for construc-
tion. These facilities will be considered an individual per-
iod of construction and payment will be in an amount equal to
a percentage of the "construction cost" of this separate Pro-
ject. For example: If the available funds will only build
90% of the designed facilities, the fee for the awarded con-
struction will be paid as described herein. When the remain-
ing 10% of the work is awarded, it will be considered a sepa-
rate Project and a percentage from the curve based on the 10%
Project amount will be used to pay the basic compensation.
Considering this as an individual Project, it will be neces-
sary to compensate the Engineer in this manner because of the
extra work involved in the preparation of separate contract
documents, organization of plans, construction administration
on the delayed Project, and the delay in payment for the
Engineering Services rendered.
in the event that proposals for construction of any of
the work authorized in the Design Phase are received within
90 days after submission of completed contract drawings and
specifications to the Owner by the Engineer, the charge for
the corresponding services in the Design Phase and the charge
for the corresponding services in the Preliminary Phase shall
be adjusted to the "construction cost" as reflected by the
lowest acceptable proposal, or lowest bona fide bid, if no
contract is awarded. Where no proposal or bona fide bids are
received, the Engineer's estimates shall be the basis for
final payment for these two phases. No reduction shall be
made from the Basic Charge on account of penalties or liquid-
ated damages or other sums withheld from contractor's pay-
ments.
A. PRELIMINARY PHASE
Payment for services in the Preliminary Phase shall be
made to the Engineer in a sum equal to a percentage of the
"construction cost" of the work authorized by the Owner in
-7-
this Phase of the Project. This percentage for the Prelimi-
nary Phase shall be computed as ten percent (10%) of the
Basic Charge, which Basic Charge is defined by Attachment No.
1 .
The classification of the construction work (Classifica-
tion "A" or "B ") for the purpose of applying the alternate
Basic Charge is that given in Attachment No. 2 - Classifica-
tion of Construction Work.
Final Payment for services in the Preliminary Phase
shall be payable upon submission to the Owner of the required
report, sketches, and estimates, and upon his acceptance,
which shall be within thirty (30) days after submission.
If a written report is not required, this payment will
be due with and in addition to payment stated in the Design
Phase.
B. DESIGN PHASE
Payment for services in the Design Phase shall be made
to the Engineer in a sum equal to a percentage of the "con-
struction cost" of the work authorized by the Owner in this
Phase of the Project. This percentage for the Design Phase
shall be computed as seventy -five percent (75%) of the Basic
Charge, which Basic Charge is defined by Attachment No. 1.
The classification of the construction work (Classifica-
tion "A" or "B ") for the purpose of applying the alternate
Basic Charge is that given in Attachment No. 2 - Classifica-
tion of Construction Work.
Final payment for services authorized in the Design
Phase shall be due upon the completion of these services and
upon the Owners acceptance, which shall be within 30 -days
after submission. When the Project is funded through the
sale of municipal bonds or through grant funds, payments
shall not be due until the funds are in the Owner's posses-
sion.
C. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Payment for services in the Construction Phase shall be
made to the Engineer in a sum equal to a percentage of the
"construction cost" of the work authorized by the Owner in
this Phase of the Project. This percentage for the Construc-
tion Phase shall be computed as fifteen percent (15%) of the
Basic Charge, which Basic Charge is defined in Attachment No.
1.
-8-
The classification of the construction work (Classifica-
tion "A" or "B ") is that given in Attachment No. 2 - Classi-
fication of Construction Work.
This sum will be paid in monthly installments in propor-
tion to the construction work completed, on the basis of the
Engineer's estimates prepared for monthly payments to con-
tractors, plus the actual value of all materials and equip-
ment purchased or furnished directly by the Owner for the
Project. Upon completion of all work authorized in the Con-
struction Phase the Engineer will be paid the remainder of
the charge for this Phase.
D. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS AND SERVICES NOT INCLUDED
IN ABOVE PERCENTAGE CHARGES
The charges above described in the Preliminary, Design
and Construction Phases shall provide compensation to the
Engineer for all services called for under this Agreement to
