Owner intends to construct Improvements to Chlorine- Ammonia Disinfection Facilites under the 1995 Capital Improvement Program. Such improvements are hereinafter referred to as the "Project". The estimated cost for the Project is $150,000.00 including construction costs, engineering and contingencies. The Owner agrees to employ the Engineer and the Engineer agrees to perform professional engineering services in connection with the Project as stated in the Sections to follow, and for having rendered such services, the Owner agrees to pay to the Engineer compensation as stated in the Sections to follow. The Engineer shall render the following professional services necessary for the development of the Project: A. PRELIMINARY PHASE AGREEMENT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES RECITALS CONTRACTUAL UNDERTAKINGS SECTION 1 EMPLOYMENT OF ENGINEER SECTION II CHARACTER AND EXTENT OF SERVICES 1 1. Attend preliminary conference with the Owner regarding the Project. 2. Perform preliminary engineering services in connection with Project in sufficient detail to indicate clearly the problems involved and the alternate solutions available to the Owner, to include preliminary layouts, sketches and cost estimates for the Project, and to set forth clearly the Engineer's recommendations. If called for by the scope of the assignment, prepare a preliminary engineering report. 3 When a written report is prepared, furnish the Owner ten (10) copies of the preliminary report, including preliminary layouts, sketches and cost estimates. 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, 2 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 Rate Schedule. 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. 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 drawing of the affected properties. These services will be paid for in accordance with Attachment No.3 - Hourly Rate Schedule. 10.

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 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 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 4 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 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 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 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 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 5 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 at Blackwell, Lackey & Associates, Inc., Attn: Mr. Patrick A. Lackey, P.E., 3801 South First Street, Austin, Texas, 78704, (512)442 -3008. 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 6 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 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 7 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 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 fumished 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 Assignments, and the compensation to be paid by the Owner to the Engineer for their performance, as required, are as follows: 8 The following services, if authorized by the Owner, (1 through 7), shall be reimbursed in accordance with Attachment No. 3 - Hourly Rate Schedule. 1.

Services for location stakes associated with the Project as necessary for utility companies operating within the City Limits of Round Rock. Payments to the Engineer for authorized services not in the basic percentage charges will be made by the Owner, upon presentation of statements by the Engineer for such services, but not until Bond or Grant funds are in the Owner's possession. Should the Owner fail to make payment to the Engineer of the sum named in any partial or final statement when payment is past due for more than thirty (30) days, then the Owner shall pay to the Engineer, in addition to the sum shown as due by such statement, interest thereon at the current prime rate of banking institutions in Round Rock, from the date due, as provided herein, until fully paid, which shall fully liquidate any injury to the Engineer arising from such delay in payment, but the right is expressly reserved to the 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 re- advertisement 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 Schedule. However, no extra compensation will be granted to the Engineer for correcting errors in the plans or errors in the design of the Project or for revising design or plans when such 10 design and plans prove not to be feasible for construction. SECTION VIII OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS Engineer shall retain ownership of all original documents, plan designs, and survey notes on all projects that are not completed and for which Engineer is not compensated regardless of whether the instruments were copyrighted. Additionally, all such documents for which Engineer is not compensated Owner will not reuse for extensions of the original project or new projects unless Owner shall secure the permission of Engineer shall be entitled to further compensation for the use of such documents. All original documents, plan designs, and survey notes for completed or partially completed projects for which Engineer has been compensated shall be the property of Owner and Engineer and reproducible copies shall be furnished to the Owner upon request. The use by either party of such documents is unrestricted. SECTION IX ARBITRATION UNDER TEXAS GENERAL ARBITRATION ACT A.

Obviously, the appropriate compensation for a given ;signment may vary above or below the curves shown in Figs. 1 & 2, :pending on the various factors which have been discussed in the forego - g sections. While these curves may be an appropriate basis for initiating discussions ith a client, the final compensation should be determined by negotiation flowing detailed discussion of the scope of services and the elements of e cost of engineering. These curves afford compensation only for the basic services outlined in ction 11. The special services, also described in Section 11, may add sub - intially to the total engineering cost of the project. These special services e furnished either directly by the Client, or by the Consulting Engineer, wally on the basis of salary cost times a multiplier, For special services, : multiplier varies from 2:0 to 3.0, except for field staff employed for the rposes of the assignment, when the multiplier may be as low as 1.90. rect non - salary costs for special services are reimbursed at invoice cost is a surcharge for overhead and handling of from 10% to 15%. Curve Ain Fig. 1 is intended to apply to assignments of which the fol- ving are typical examples: a. Airports with extensive terminal facilities; b. Water, waste water, and industrial waste treatment plants; c. Bridges which are asymmetric or are otherwise complicated; d. Public and office buildings; e. Power plants; f. Large dams or complicated small dams; g. Highways* and urban and suburban arterial streets; h. Grade crossing eliminations; i. Highway and railway tunnels; j. Pumping stations; c, Incinerators; I. Large intercepting and relief sewers; 1. Sanitary sewer lines under 24 in. in diameter; Water distribution lines under 16 in. in diameter; 1. Complicated waterfront and marine terminal facilities; 1. Foundations 1. Large sports stadia; and Additions to or reconstruction of projects classified in Curve B. urve B in Fig. 2 is intended to apply to less complex assignments of :h the following are examples: < tensive pertinent information regarding these classifications is to be found in the Ameri• :oad Builders' Association Technical Bulletin No. 253, 1971.

Sewer and water tunnels (free -air); i. Storm sewers and drains; j. Sanitary sewers 24 in. and larger; k. Water distribution lines 16 in. and larger; I. Irrigation works, except pumping plants; and m. Airports except as classified for Curve A. The curves in Figs. 1 and 2 represent-median compensation for the three phases of the basic services described in Section 11. For the purpose of establishing charges for these three basic services the following ranges of allocations apply in a very general way; Preliminary Phase —up to 40% of basic compensation Design Phase —up to 90% of basic compensation Construction Phase —up to 10% of basic compensation For each separate phase, the percentage charge from the curves (Figures I or 2) is applicable to the construction cost of the work authorized by the Client in that phase. Once the percentage for each of the three phases (Preliminary Phase, Design Phase, and Construction Phase) has been agreed upon with the Client, both the percentage and the scope of the phase should be clearly spelled out in the agreement. It should be under- stood that each of these three separate percentages for the Preliminary Phase, Design Phase and Construction Phase are to be used as a multiplier to be applied to the value read from the curves in Figures 1 or 2. For each separate phase the agreed percentage multiplied by the value read from the curves is applicable to the construction cost for that particular phase. For example, the work authorized for preliminary design may be greater than that authorized for final design and construction. The percentage charges from the curves are normally applicable to each construction contract for which separate designs and contract documents are to be prepared, or where different fields of construction are involved. Partial payments for the preliminary and design phases usually are made ITEM DESCRIPTION RATE 1. Registered Professional Engineer $75.00 /hr. 2. Registered Public Surveyor $60.00 /hr. 3.

Obviously, the appropriate compensation for a given ;signment may vary above or below the curves shown in Figs. 1 & 2, :pending on the various factors which have been discussed in the forego - g sections. While these curves may be an appropriate basis for initiating discussions ith a client, the final compensation should be determined by negotiation flowing detailed discussion of the scope of services and the elements of e cost of engineering. These curves afford compensation only for the basic services outlined in ction II. The special services, also described in Section I1, may add sub - tntially to the total engineering cost of the project. These special services e furnished either directly by the Client, or by the Consulting Engineer, ually on the basis of salary cost times a multiplier. For special services, : multiplier varies from 2:0 to 3.0, except for field staff employed for the rposes of the assignment, when the multiplier may be as low as 1.90. rect non - salary costs for special services are reimbursed at invoice cost is a surcharge for overhead and handling of from 10% to 15%. Curve A in Fig. 1 is intended to apply to assignments of which the fol- ving are typical examples: a. Airports with extensive terminal facilities; b.

We are pleased to present this proposal and work scope summary to the City for your evaluation. we understand that the City expects to complete a tie -in, with the City of Austin water system by the end of July, 1995. This will provide an alternate feed source to the southern distribution system of the City. This tie -in of Austin's "soft" water disinfected with chlorine and ammonia with Round Rock's "hard" water disinfected with chlorine, has raised numerous issues about Round Rock's current method of disinfection. The immediate request is to proceed with a preliminary study and a design to modify the existing chlorination system at the three main water production sites (Main well site, Westinghouse and Water Treatment Plant). This project also includes the addition of ammonia feed system at these locations. This will provide chloramine disinfection throughout the water distribution area. The use of chloramine has many advantages over chlorine. The possible ability to abandon remote chlorine feed facilities will greatly reduce operating costs. In addition, the elimination of a chlorine taste and odor from the water is an aesthetic value to many customers. We are ready to assist the City with this work effort and per your direction have addressed the various work scope items we discussed. See Attached. Compensation for our services will be per the City's standard agreement. We do provide to our clients general liability and "Errors and omissions" liability insurance protection. Pending your approval of this work scope and our professional services agreement we are ready to complete the contractual requirements, in order to meet this tight project schedule. Again, we thank you for the opportunity to be of service. Sin erely, Patrick A Y Lackey, P.E.

BLACKWELL, LACKEY & ASSOCIATES, INC. DATE: April 25, 1995 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, April 27, 1995 ITEM: 11C. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Blackwell Lackey for engineering services relating to water system disinfection. STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse STAFF RECOMMENDATION: In order to tie into both Georgetown and Austin water systems, we must change our disinfection from Chlorine to Chlorimines. This will be accomplished by the addition of ammonia feed systems at the main well site and the water treatment plant. Staff recommends enlisting the engineering firm Blackwell Lackey for these services. The scope of work and agreement are attached.
