Details of the scope of services are given in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and, by reference, made a part of this Agreement. Services are to be performed in a phased basis with initial authorization of Phase I services. Services for Phase II and Phase III will be performed by ENGINEER if such improvements are implemented by the OWNER and as requested by the OWNER. Section II - Future Services of ENGINEER The ENGINEER is available to furnish and perform, under a separately negotiated agreement, future engineering services as desired and authorized by OWNER for additional planning work, design, construction, and testing with respect to extensions of this Project or others. Section III - OWNER'S Responsibility Mr. Ralph L. Ridley of the City of Elgin shall be the OWNER'S Representative, and is authorized to act with authority on behalf of the OWNER with respect to all work tasks of the Project for which services are to be rendered by the ENGINEER. May 6, 1991 -1- AGREEMENT (Cont. ) As responsible agent and beneficiary of the Project, the OWNER'S responsibilities shall include the following: 1. Assist ENGINEER by placing at his disposal all available information pertinent to the Project including maps, records, and any other data relative to the ENGINEER'S services. 2 . Furnish to ENGINEER, as required for performance of ENGINEER'S Basic Services, except to the extent provided by the ENGINEER'S Basic Services, data prepared by or services of others, including without limitations any previous plans for the sanitary sewer system, water system, pump stations, maps, treatment plant capacity and flow records, other special data or consultations not covered in ENGINEER'S Basic Services, all as available to the OWNER; all of which ENGINEER may rely upon in performing his services. 3. Arrange for access to and make all provisions for ENGINEER to enter upon public property, public easements, and private property as possible, as required for ENGINEER to perform his services. 4.

Bear all costs incident to compliance with the requirements of this Section III. May 6, 1991 -2- AGREEMENT (Cont. ) Section IV - Schedule of Services Based on authorization to proceed in May 1991 for the Phase I-Preliminary Design, a draft report is expected to be submitted to the OWNER in approximately three (3) months after authorization to proceed, and a final report within three (3) weeks after final City comments of the draft report. Due to uncertainty of existing data and final scope of work details for Phase I at this time, the above schedule is subject to modification by the ENGINEER and upon concurrance of the OWNER. Execution of this Agreement will serve as a Notice-to-Proceed for the Project. The work described shall be carried out as expeditiously as weather and other physical conditions permit. The ENGINEER shall not be liable to the OWNER, if delayed in, or prevented from performing the work as specified herein through any cause or causes beyond the control of the ENGINEER, and not caused by his own fault or negligence includingactsof God, or the public enemy, inclement weather conditions, acts, regulations, or decisions of the Government or regulatory authorities after the effective date of this Agreement, fires, floods, epidemics, strikes, jurisdictional disputes, lockouts, and freight embargoes. Section V - Fees and Payments Compensation to the ENGINEER by the OWNER for work set forth in Section I of this Agreement shall be on a time and expense basis including personnel hourly charge out rates applicable at the time the work is performed plus the ENGINEER'S charges for other direct costs connected with the work. A current Schedule of Fees and Charges for the described services of the ENGINEER is attached as Exhibit B. The described rate schedule is valid until December 31, 1991, after which a new annual schedule will be available. Because of the uncertainty of final Phase I services, existing data availability, and scheduling considerations, a final maximum cost for Phase I services cannot be established at this time. For project initiation purposes, an interim maximum cost of $35, 000 is established and this cost shall not be exceeded without authorization. It is understood by both parties that the interim maximum cost may not be the final cost for completing the Phase I services. Compensation for Phase II and Phase III services will be identified as such services are negotiated and authorized. Payments to the ENGINEER shall be made monthly upon receipt of a combined status report and invoice to be submitted to the OWNER by the ENGINEER. Invoices shall be due and payable to the ENGINEER within thirty (30) days of each billing. May 6, 1991 -3- AGREEMENT (Cont. ) Section VI - General Considerations Standards of Performance The ENGINEER shall perform all services under this Agreement in accordance with the standards of the engineering profession. Estimate of Probable Cost Since the ENGINEER has no control over the cost of labor, materials, or equipment, or over the Contractor's method of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, his opinions of preliminary or probable construction cost or total project cost provided for herein are to be made on the basis of his experience and qualifications. These opinions represent his best judgement as an experienced and qualified professional engineer. However, the ENGINEER cannot and does not guarantee that actual project cost will not vary from opinions of cost by him. Reuse of Documents All data and documents including drawings, forms, computer program tabulations, and specifications furnished by the ENGINEER pursuant to this Agreement are instruments of service with respect to the Project. They are not intended or represented to be suitable for reuse by the OWNER or others on extensions of this Project or on any other project. Any reuse without written verification or adaptation by the ENGINEER will be at the OWNER'S sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to the ENGINEER. At the end of each Phase, any and all materials, plans, specifications and reports prepared by the ENGINEER shall become and remain property of the OWNER. Termination of Services This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving not less than 10 days written notice to the other party at his last known post office address. Upon termination, the ENGINEER shall cause to be delivered to the OWNER all surveys, permits, agreements, preliminary drawings, specifications, partial and completed estimates, and investigations (subject to "Reuse of Documents" provisions) with the understanding that all such material becomes the property of the OWNER. The ENGINEER shall be paid for any services completed and any services partially completed.

May 6, 1991 -B1- • in ,s+ °Fft,,y Agenda Item No. C. ( t'i ]) o , 0 9po to Fit: May 3, 1991 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Larry L. Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: Selection of Northeast Interceptor Consultant For more than a year Pasquinelli Builders has been work- ing with staff on the possible annexation of a major develop- ment along the east edge of the City. During that time the City has taken over the responsibility for the sewer intercep- tor system, and now that the formal filing is drawing near we have to determine the routing of their connection into the City's sewer system. This agenda item therefore proposes the retainage of the engineering firm of RJN Environmental Assoc. , Inc. of Wheaton to perform the initial locations for the lines and the estimated costs . We hope to have this work completed within the next week or so to enable the annexation process to begin. Depending upon the study, subsequent engineering and construction costs for extending the City's system would be the responsibility of the developer. Due to the immediacy of the process, the selection process for this engineering work was simplified. At the Council 's next meeting on May 22nd, the interview results and recommendations for the three major engineering projects on the west side of the City will be submitted to City Council . FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of the Northeast Interceptor Location Study is provided for in the Sewer Capital budget using Build Illinois funds.
