Within thirty (30) days of the execution date of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall provide to CITY endorsements to the above-required policies, which add to these policies the applicable clauses referenced above. Said endorsements shall be signed by an authorized representative of the insurance company and shall include the signatory’s company affiliation and title.

ces initiated between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. will be performed at the standard rates presented in the PROPOSAL and Fee Schedule. Services initiated outside of these hours will be billed at the appropriate rate plus a premium of 12.5 percent. Services rendered in excess of 8 hours (up to 12 hours) on any week day and on Saturdays will be billed at time and a half the hourly rate. Services rendered in excess of 12 hours on any weekday, on Holidays, on Sundays, or in excess of 8 hours on Saturdays or will be charged at double the hourly rate.
Authorization:
We have provided our standard form of agreement with this proposal. Please note that the terms and conditions of the agreement are an integral part of our proposal and fee structure. Please initial, sign and return the agreement to us as our authorization to proceed. Upon receipt, we will execute the contract and return a signed original for your files.
Should we be requested to start work prior to our receipt of a mutually acceptable signed contract, with the request received through email or oral communication, and our subsequent start of work, will constitute your express or implied acceptance of the terms and conditions of our attached Agreement.
In the event that a Purchase Order will be issued as part of the authorization process for us to proceed, the Purchase Order must specifically incorporate this proposal by reference. By issuing a Purchase Order authorizing our services, it is agreed that the terms of the Purchase Order shall be null and void even where stated otherwise on the Purchase Order and that the terms of the attached agreement shall prevail.
KA Proposal T25199CAF
FEE STRUCTURE
We will perform the services listed above on a time and material basis in accordance with our 2025 standard rate schedule. A detailed breakdown of this cost estimate is attached as Attachment A. Costs for construction testing and inspection services are highly dependent on contractors schedule; weather, overlapping of work, additional inspections required by the building official and other factors. Krazan & Associates does not control the work or production rate. Actual costs will vary due to the frequency of scheduling by others. Therefore the quantities listed in our cost estimate should be considered approximate.
The estimate provided herein does not imply a lump sum fee, not-to-exceed fee or a guaranteed maximum price.
Consistent with good engineering practice, we will work with the contractor to keep inspection costs at a minimum. If provided with a construction schedule this cost estimate can be further refined and quantified.
COORDINATION
Additional services requested outside of our stated scope of work will be billed in excess of the estimated amount at our current rates. A price list for these services will be provided upon request.
Services will be performed on a “time and materials” basis. Any total estimates provided are merely estimates and are not a guaranteed maximum price.
