The Completion Date for the Construction Documents Phase shall not be exceeded without the prior written approval of Owner. The Owner will agree to review all submissions in a timely fashion. If the Owner takes longer than fourteen (14) calendar 6 ATTACHMENT 1-12
days to review a submission, time for performance of services by the Engineer will be extended on a day-by-day basis for all days in excess of the fourteen ( 14) calendar day review period . The Completion Date will be adjusted as a result of the additional days taken by the Owner to review the submission.
2.2 Schedule.
Within ten (10) calendar days after the Owner issues the initial Notice to Proceed, the Engineer and Owner shall collaboratively prepare a completion and approval schedule of the performance of Engineer's Services and those of its Consultants and required City approvals for each phase of Services ("Schedule "). This Schedule shall indicate the date by which the Engineer agrees to complete the performance of Basic Services, date of (or, where applicable, periods of elapsed time allowed for) Owner approvals and anticipated approval periods required for public authorities having jurisdiction over the Project, date for completion of Construction Documents, and date for completion of Construction Administration . The Schedule shall be consistent with the time limits for performance of the Agreement set forth herein. Once accepted by Owner, the Schedule will become part of this Agreement and the Engineer will be bound by that Schedule and will not deviate from it without prior written authorization by the Owner.
Whether or not deviations from the Schedule have been authorized by the Owner, the Engineer shall update the Schedule as necessary to reflect Owner approved changes or unavoidable deviations, indicating probable impacts of those deviations on the performance of the Engineer's Services and the Project. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of Owner's right to obtain compliance by the Engineer with the accepted Schedule .

Neither the Owner nor the Engineer shall be liable for costs or damages, liquidated or otherwise, to the other on account of such Excusable Delays. The Engineer shall, within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the beginning of any Excusable Delay (unless Owner grants in writing a further period of time to file such notice prior to the date of final payment under the Agreement), notify the Owner in writing of the delay. Owner will then ascertain the facts and the extent of the delay , and grant an extension of completion date for Basic Services when , in its sole judgment, the circumstances justify such an extension . Extensions of time shall apply only to that portion of Basic Services affected by the Excusable Delay and shall not apply to other portions of the Services not so affected. The sole remedy of Engineer for extensions of time shall be an extension of the Completion Date, or other interim schedule deadline at no cost to the Owner. If Additional Services are required as a result of an Excusable 7 ATTACHMENT 1-13
Delay, the Parties shall mutually agree thereto pursuant to the Additional Services provision of this Agreement.
2.4 Extraordinary Measures.
In the event Owner determines that the performance of the Services has not progressed or reached the level of completion required by the accepted Schedule and does not constitute an Excusable Delay, the Owner shall have the right to order the Engineer to implement corrective measures within ten (10) calendar days of Owner's written demand, to expedite the progress of Services , including, without limitation, (1) working overtime, (2) supplying additional personnel or Consultants to perform the Services or other similar measures (hereinafter referred to collectively as Extraordinary Measures). Such Extraordinary Measures shall continue until the progress of the Services complies with the stage of completion required by the Schedule. The Engineer shall not be entitled to an adjustment in compensation in connection with the Extraordinary Measures required by the Owner pursuant to this Section. The Owner may exercise the rights furnished the Owner pursuant to this Section as frequently as the Owner deems necessary to ensure that the Engineer's performance of Services will comply with the Schedule. If the Engineer fails to implement or commence Extraordinary Measures within ten (10) calendar days of Owner's written demand, Owner shall have the right to terminate the Engineer for cause.
ARTICLE 3 SCOPE OF ENGINEER'S BASIC SERVICES
3.1 Enumeration of Services.
The Engineer's Scope of Basic Services is enumerated in Exhibit A, Scope of Services .
3.2 Standard of Care.
Engineer hereby represents that it has the professional experience and skill to perform the Services required to be performed hereunder; that it shall comply with applicable federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to all professional registration (both corporate and individual) for all required basic disciplines; that it shall perform the Services in accordance with generally accepted professional standards and in an expeditious and economical manner; that it has sufficient capital assets and is adequately financed to meet all financial obligations it may be required to incur hereunder and will, if requested by Owner, submit documentation of such assets and finances.
3.2.1 If, at any time during the performance of its Services or during the maximum period permitted by applicable law after completion of same, it is discovered that Engineer or any of its officers, directors, agents, subcontractors, employees, or Consultants has committed any negligent act, error or omission, which has caused or will otherwise cause unnecessary additional expense to Owner, then Engineer shall, at Owner's request, promptly make all necessary corrections.
3.2.2 Owner recognizes that no set of plans and/or specifications is perfect, that Change Orders can be anticipated, and agrees to act reasonably in its review of any Change Orders submitted under this Agreement. Owner shall monitor the Project for any errors and omissions that are reasonably attributable to Engineer and/or its Consultants. 8 ATTACHMENT 1-14
In the event the Engineer and/or any of its Consultants fails to perform the Services in a manner consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing under similar circumstances and the accumulative costs proximately caused by the resulting errors and/or omissions exceed an amount that Owner reasonably believes is unjustified, then Owner may, at its reasonable discretion, file a claim against the Engineer for reimbursement of such costs.
3.2.3 For omissions, Engineer will be liable for difference in cost over and above the cost of the work if originally performed. Owner recognizes that it is only the "delta cost" that Engineer may be responsible for, i.e., the difference in cost between the original work if properly performed, and, the work ultimately performed as a result of any omission.
For errors, Engineer will be liable for the cost of the work necessary to correct the error.
Correction of errors and omissions shall include, but not be limited to, additional engineering services, design documentation, travel, demolition, removal, relocation, manufacture, fabrication, construction, testing, and installation proximately caused by said error and omissions.
3.3 Laws and Regulations.
3.3.1 Drawings and Specifications. Engineer shall cause all graphic and pictorial documents showing the design, location, and dimension of the work ("Drawings") and written requirements for materials, equipment, systems, standards, and workmanship for construction of the work ("Specifications") to conform to applicable requirements of federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, in effect as of the time the Drawings and Specifications are prepared or revised during the latest phase of the Services described herein. Engineer has an obligation to monitor changes to applicable laws, rules, and regulations and to promptly advise Owner of any changes that potentially may impact the Project. Any significant revisions made necessary by legislative enactment of changes in such laws, rules and regulations after this time shall be compensated as Additional Services. Engineer shall cause the necessary copies of such Drawings and Specifications to be filed with any governmental bodies with approval jurisdiction over the Project.
3.3.2 Americans with Disabilities Act. Engineer will use its professional efforts to interpret all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations with respect to access, including those of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") and as contained in the California Code of Regulations. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides that it is a violation of the ADA to design and construct a facility for first occupancy later than January 26, 1993, that does not meet the accessibility and usability requirements of the ADA except where an entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impractical to meet such requirements. Owner acknowledges that the requirements of the ADA will be subject to various and possibly contradictory interpretations. Engineer, therefore, will use their reasonable professional efforts to interpret applicable ADA requirements and other federal, state and local laws rules, codes, ordinances and regulations as they apply to the Project. Engineer shall inform Owner of its interpretations of inconsistencies of which it is aware or reasonably should be aware between federal and state accessibility laws, rules and regulations, as well as any other issues which are subject to conflicting interpretations of the law. Unless 9 ATTACHMENT 1-15
Engineer brings such inconsistencies and conflicting interpretations to the attention of the Owner and requests Owner's direction on how to proceed, the Engineer's interpretation of such inconsistencies and conflicting interpretations shall be the sole responsibility and liability of Engineer, and the Engineer shall correct all Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared for the Project at no additional cost if Engineer's interpretations are shown to be incorrect.
3.3.3 Permits, Approvals and Authorizations. Engineer shall provide Owner with a list of applicable permits, approvals or other authorizations required for the Project from federal, state or local governmental bodies with approval jurisdiction over the Project. Engineer shall then assist the Owner in obtaining all such permits, approvals and other authorizations . The costs of such permits, approvals and other authorizations shall be paid by the Owner . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall be responsible for filing documents required for the approval of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Project.
3.3.4 Review of City's General Conditions. Engineer shall be responsible for reviewing the City's standard construction agreement for this type of project and shall not duplicate in any way, or submit work product that is in conflict with, the General Conditions of such agreement. Any submitted work product that either duplicates or is in conflict with the General Conditions of City's standard construction agreement for this type of project shall be rejected and corrected at no cost to the City.
3.3.5 State Prevailing Wage Rates. To the extent that Engineer or its Consultants or subcontractors performs "public works " as described in California Labor Code Section 1720(a)(1 ), including, but not limited to, inspection and land surveying work, Engineer and its Consultants or subcontractors shall comply with the State of California's General Prevailing Wage Rate requirements and other laws and regulations applicable to such "public works ," in accordance with California Labor Code, Section 1770 et seq., and all Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances applicable to the work. When prevailing wages apply to the Services described in the scope of work, transportation and subsistence costs shall be reimbursed at the minimum rates set by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) as outlined in the applicable Prevailing Wage Determination .
When applicable, Engineer and its Consultants and subcontractors shall also comply with all DIR registration and reporting requirements. See http://www.dir.ca .gov .
Notwithstanding the foregoing , this section shall not apply to work involving public works construction of $25,000 or less, or public works alteration, demolition, repair, or maintenance of $15,000 or less.
3.3.6 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Engineer shall comply with OSHA regulations applicable to Engineer regarding necessary safety equipment or procedures. Engineer shall comply with safety instructions issued by Owner's Safety Officer and other Owner representatives. Engineer's personnel shall wear hard hats and safety vests at all times while working on the construction project site.
3.4 Reports or Meetings.
Engineer shall submit progress reports at least once a month. The report should be sufficiently detailed for the Owner's Project Manager to determine, if Engineer is 10 ATTACHMENT 1-16
performing to expectations, or is on schedule; to provide communication of interim findings, and to sufficiently address any difficulties or special problems encountered, so remedies can be developed. Engineer's Project Manager shall meet with Owner's Project Manager, as needed, to discuss progress on the Agreement.
ARTICLE 4 ADDITIONAL SERVICES
4.1 Definition.
The Owner, without invalidating this Agreement, may make changes, additions, and deletions in the Scope of Services or otherwise amend this Agreement. All changes in the Services shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Agreement. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, no Additional Services or change in scope of Services shall be made except pursuant to a written Amendment to this Agreement and no claim for additional compensation or an extension of the Completion Date shall be valid unless so ordered by Owner.

As used herein, "Additional Services" shall mean: (1) any services determined by Owner to be necessary for the proper completion of the Project, but which the Parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary for the Engineer to perform at the execution of this Agreement; or (2) any services listed as Additional Services or Excluded Services in Exhibit A attached hereto. Engineer shall not perform, nor be compensated for, Additional Services without prior written authorization from Owner and without an agreement between the Owner and Engineer as to the compensation to be paid for such Additional Services. Owner shall pay Engineer for completion of any approved Additional Services, pursuant to the compensation provisions herein, so long as such services are not made necessary through the fault of Engineer. Such Additional Services shall not include any redesign or revisions to Drawings, Specifications or other documents when such revisions are necessary in order to bring such documents into compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations or codes of which Engineer was aware or should have been aware pursuant to the laws and regulations provision of this Agreement above.
4.2 Owner's Authorization of Additional Services.
4.2.1 Minor changes in the Services that involve no extra cost, may be approved, authorized, and ordered by the Owner's Representative designated in Exhibit B. No other change shall be made nor Additional Services performed except by Amendment to the Agreement with prior written approval from the Owner. If the cost of the Additional Services exceeds any applicable project contingency, the Owner's City Council must approve the Amendment.
4.2.2 Owner may issue a request, in writing, to the Engineer, describing a proposed addition, deletion or change to the Service and requesting the Engineer to submit a pricing proposal, in a format acceptable to Owner, within fifteen (15) calendar days after Owner's issuance of the request, or such time as may be reasonably necessary to ensure the extent of the scope change is both clear and can be reasonably priced and the time extension, if any, be reasonably identified. The Engineer's pricing proposal shall 11 ATTACHMENT 1-17
include an analysis of impacts to cost and time, if any, to perform the addition, deletion or change in Services, as applicable, including the effects and impacts, if any, on unchanged Services. The Engineer's pricing proposal shall provide sufficient detail and necessary documentation support in a format reasonably acceptable to the Owner for Owner's review and approval. If Engineer fails to submit a price proposal within such time period, it shall be reasonably presumed that the change described will not result in a change to Engineer's compensation or Completion Date and the change shall be performed by Engineer without cost adjustment. Owner's written request for a pricing proposal does not authorize the Engineer to commence performance of the described services. If the Parties reach agreement on the cost of pricing such change(s), an Amendment to the Agreement will be issued in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1.
4.3 Engineer Initiated Request for Additional Services.
4.3.1 If the Engineer alleges that instructions issued after the Commencement Date of the Agreement will result in an increase to the compensation or completion of the Engineer's Services or the Engineer otherwise becomes aware of the need for or desirability of additional services, a request for additional services may be submitted to the Owner in writing, in a format acceptable to Owner, and must specify the reasons for such change, including relevant circumstances and impacts on the Schedule. Engineer shall submit a pricing proposal concurrently with the request for additional services.
Engineer may request additional compensation and/or time but not for instances that occurred more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the request for additional services.
Engineer's failure to initiate a request for additional services within such period shall be deemed a waiver of the right to adjustment of the compensation or time for completion for the alleged change. Any request for additional services that is approved by Owner will be incorporated in an Amendment. If the request for additional services is denied but the Engineer believes that it does have merit, the Engineer may submit a claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.
