1
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 performed by the Engineer, by agreement with the Owner, in
which case compensation shall be determined by the applicable portions of
Section VI D.)
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,
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 drawings, in pencil on
paper, for construction authorized by the Owner. These designs shall in all
respects combine the application 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, 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

7. Provide information on utilities to be relocated in connection with
the Project. The Owner will provide excavation 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.
2
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
construction 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 drawings of the affected properties. These services
will be paid for in accordance with Attachment No. 3 - Hourly Rate Schedule.

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.
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 of all proposals received.
3. Assist in the preparation of formal Contract Documents for the
contracts.
4. Make periodic visits to the site (as distinguished from the continuous
services of a resident Project Representative described in Subparagraph 6
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 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 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
3
5. Consult and advise with the Owner; issue all instructions to the
contractor requested by the Owner; and prepare 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 construction 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 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 diligence 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, 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
Representatives or other personnel engaged in on- the -site observation 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 deficiency.
7. Review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop drawings, laboratory,
shop and mill tests of materials and equipment and other data which the
contractor is required to submit, only for conformance with the design concept
of the Project and compliance with the information given by the Contract
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 certifications as to payments to
contractors and suppliers in a form acceptable to the City.
9. Conduct, in company with the Owner, a final inspection 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 contact drawings, with the assistance of the resident Project
Representatives, or the Owner's representative, 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 undertaken by the
Engineer under this Agreement until he has received written authorization from
the Owner.
SECTION IV
PERIOD OF SERVICE
This Agreement shall be effective upon execution by the Owner and the
Engineer, and shall remain in force until terminated 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 experience and knowledge of existing needs and
facilities, and be consistent with its current policies and construction
standards. 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, computations, and other data in his possession relative to
existing facilities and to the Project.
SECTION VI
THE ENGINEER'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 Preliminary, Design, and Construction Phases of
the work and for Special Assignments and Services not included in these
phases. All remittances by Owner of such compensation shall either be mailed
or delivered to the Engineer's office in Round Rock, 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 services, the cost of land, rights -of -way, legal and administrative
expenses; but including the direct cost to the Owner of 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 project of all labor, materials, and equipment purchased or furnished
directly by the Owner for the Project.
5
The aggregate of all sums paid to the Engineer for each Phase of
Construction will equal one hundred percent 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
contract price, then the facilities which are deleted will be paid for at a
later date when they are awarded for construction. These facilities will be
considered an individual period of construction and payment will be in an
amount equal to a percentage of the "construction cost" of this separate
Project. For example: If the available funds will only build 90% of the
designed facilities, the fee for the awarded construction will be paid as
described herein. When the remaining 10% of the work is awarded, it will be
considered a separate 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 necessary 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 Design Phase and the charges 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 liquidated damages or other sums withheld from
contractor's payments.
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 this Phase of the Project. This percentage for the
Preliminary 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 (Classification "A" or "B ")
for the purpose of applying the alternate Basic Charge is that given in
Attachment No. 2 - Classification 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.
6
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 "construction 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 (Classification "A" or "B ")
for the purpose of applying the alternate Basic Charge is that given in
Attachment No. 2 - Classification of Construction Work.
Final payment for services authorized in the Design Phase shall be due
upon the completion of these services and upon the Owner's 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 possession.
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
Construction Phase shall be computed as fifteen percent (15 %) of the Basic
Charge, which Basic Charge is defined in Attachment No. 1.
The classification of the construction work (Classification "A" or "B ")
is that given in Attachment No. 2 - Classification of Construction Work.
This sum will be paid in monthly installments in proportion to the
construction work completed, on the basis of the Engineer's estimates prepared
for monthly payments to contractors, plus the actual value of all materials
and equipment purchased or furnished directly by the Owner for the Project.
Upon completion of all work authorized in the Construction 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 be performed by him, or under his direction, except
the services set forth below. These excluded services and Special

Engineer in event payments are not promptly made as provided herein, at any
time thereafter to treat the Agreement as terminated by the Owner and recover
compensation as provided by Section X of this Agreement.
SECTION VII
REVISION TO DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Engineer will make, without expense to the Owner, such revisions of
the preliminary drawings 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 for bids or by the delinquency or
insolvency of contractors, the Engineer shall be compensated for such extra
services and expenses, which services and expenses shall not be considered as
covered by the percentage fee stipulated in this Agreement. Compensation for
such extra services shall be in accordance with Attachment No. 3 - Hourly Rate
