of the Engineer's employees whose time is directly chargeable to the
project; 2) an agreed upon multiplier to compensate the Engineer for
overhead and profit; and 3) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. The Engineer shall provide a proposal that includes the
t~)tal fees for the project, which shall not be exceeded without prior City

short-term engagements involving intermittent services.
3. Cost Plus Fixed Fee ("Cost Plus")

Engineering Compensation" for basic and construction phase services;
and 2) reimbursement for direct nonsalary expenditures and subconsultant
contracts as defined in the scope of work for the project. The Engineer
shall provide a proposal that includes the estimated construction cost of
the project and the total fees for the project. If the actual Iow bid for
construction is 20% above or below the estimate, the engineering fees are
subject to equitable adjustment by mutual agreement of the Engineer and
city.
If City fails to make any payment due Engineer for services and expenses within
thirty (30) days after receipt and approval of Engineer's statement for services therefore,
the amounts due Engineer will be increased at the rate of one percent (1%) per month
from said thirtieth (30th) day, and, in addition, Engineer may, after giving seven (7) days'
written notice to City, suspend services under this Contract until Engineer has been paid
in full, all amounts due for services, expenses, and charges.

employees, agents, or consultants, from the responsibility and liability for the accuracy
and competency of their designs, working drawings, and specifications, or other
documents and services.
D. Subject to Article 8 herein or as otherwise agreed, the Engineer shall promptly
correct errors in the Engineer's work, including errors discovered after final payment,
without receiving additional compensation.
E. Prior to execution of this agreement, the Engineer shall have prepared a project
schedule identified as an attachment to this agreement. The Project Schedule shall be
submitted in digital and paper form, in the Microsoft Project for Windows format. The
Project Schedule shall contain a complete schedule so that the Engineer's scope of
services under this contract can be accomplished within the specified time and contract
cost. The Project Schedule will provide specific work sequence and definite review
times by the City and the Engineer of the work performed. If the review time should
take longer than shown on the project schedule, through no fault of the Engineer,
additional contract time may be authorized by the City through a supplemental
agreement, if requested by a timely written request from the Engineer and approved by
the City.

increase or decrease in Engineer's cost of, or the time required for, the performance of
any part of the Services under the Contract, an equitable adjustment will be made by
mutual agreement and the Contract modified in writing accordingly.
5. Subcontracts. If, for any reason, at any time during the progress of providing
services, City determines that any subcontractor for Engineer is incompetent or
undesirable, City will notify Engineer accordingly and Engineer shall take immediate
