Item Summary:
This item will allow the City Manager to execute an agreement with KA Hickman Architects & Interior Designers for
design services of the OSPV Triple Crown Complex Restroom Building Project. The project scope will include a 4-6
stall restroom building, associated utilities and pedestrian improvements (per ADA).
City Council authorized $250,000 in March 2011 to construct a heavily requested restroom building at the OSPV
Triple Crown Baseball Complex. Staff issued a Request for Qualifications to five architectural firms in April 2011 and
received four (4) responses to the request. A team of three staff members reviewed the Statement of Qualifications
submitted by the four firms and, based on the scoring criteria, KA Hickman Architects & Interior Designers were
selected as the firm for the project.
After negotiations between staff and KA Hickman Architects, a fee and scope of services was developed for the
project. The negotiated fee of $31,510.00 comprises approximately 12.60% of the total project budget ($250,000).
Staff feels this is in line with the scope and complexity of the OSPV Triple Crown Restroom Building Project.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.01 Architect's Responsibility for Work. Approval by City shall not constitute nor be deemed a
release of the responsibility and liability of Architect, its employees, subcontractors, agents and
consultants for the accuracy and competency of their Designs, Working Drawings, Specifications or other
documents and work; nor shall such approval be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility by
City for any defect, error or omission in the Designs, Working Drawings, and Specifications or other
documents prepared by Architect, his employees, subcontractors, agents and consultants.
10.02 Indemnification (Damage Claims). Architect agrees to defend, indemnify and hold City, its
officers, agents and employees, harmless against any and all claims, lawsuits, judgments, costs and
expenses for personal injury (including death), property damage or other harm for which recovery of
damages is sought, suffered by any person or persons, that may arise out of or be occasioned by
Architect's breach of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or by any negligent act or
omission of Architect, his officers, agents, associates, employees or subconsultants, in the performance of
this Agreement; except that the indemnity provided for in this paragraph shall not apply to any liability
resulting from the sole negligence of City, its officers, agents, employees or separate contractors, and in
the event of joint and concurrent negligence of both Architect and City, responsibility and indemnity, if
any, shall be apportioned comparatively in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without,
however, waiving any governmental immunity available to City under Texas law and without waiving
any defenses of the parties under Texas law. The provisions of this paragraph are solely for the benefit of
the parties hereto and not intended to create or grant any rights, contractual or otherwise, to any other
person or entity.

indemnify City, its officers, agents and employees, against a claim that any of the Designs, Plans or

or not City is proven to have actively induced or contributed to the infringement. Architect will pay any
and all resulting costs, damages and attomey's fees finally awarded, provided that:
(1) City promptly notifies Architect in writing of the claim; and
12

(a) If Architect defends City against such claims, the City Attorney of City shall be
kept informed of settlement negotiations, and shall execute any settlement
agreement reached by Architect on City's behalf.
(b) Architect's defense and indemnification under this section is conditioned on
City's agreement that if any of the designs, plans or specifications, become, or in
Architect's opinion are likely to become, the subject of such a claim, City will
permit Architect, at Architect's option and expense, either to procure the right for
City to continue using the designs, plans or specifications or to replace or modify
the same so that they become non -infringing; and if neither of the foregoing
alternatives is available on terms which are reasonable in Architect's judgment,
City, to the extent City is legally able to do so, will cease using the designs, plans
or specifications on written request of Architect, in which instance City has the
sole option to either require Architect to perform new design work at Architect's
sole expense, or to terminate this Agreement.
(c) Architect has no liability under this section for any claim of infringement based
upon the modification or alteration of the designs, plans or specifications
prepared under this Agreement subsequent to the Project by City, or by any
engineering consultant subsequently employed by City.

infringement of patents and copyrights.

insurance required in Section 10.04 above, including the required provisions and additional policy

Compensation coverage for the subconsultants and their employees.
