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
Austin, Texas 78759 @ 9111 Jollyville Rd., Ste. 107. 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.
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 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
6
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 form 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 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.
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
7
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 Owners acceptance, which shall be within
thirty (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 "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 estimated 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

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 A).
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 the 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 Improvement 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.
2
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

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 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

of the Project, and recommend to the Owner as to the proper action on
all proposals received.
3
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 visits to review 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 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.
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 A.) 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
4
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 deficiencies.
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 review 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 representative, to provide record
drawings of the completed Project. Furnish one set of reproducible
drawings and one set of prints of there revised drawings to the Owner.
SECTION I11
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.
5
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
Austin, Texas 78759 @ 9111 Jollyville Rd., Ste. 107. 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.
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 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
6
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 form 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 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 ni_21 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 "construction cost" of the work authorized by the
Owner in this phase of the Project. This percentage for the Design Phase shall be
7
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 Owners acceptance, which shall be within
thirty (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 "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 estimated 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
