WITNESSETH that whereas the Owner intends to construct certain water transmission and wastewater collection improvements designated as Dixie Farm Road Water and Wastewater Improvements, such improvements are hereinafter called the "Project". NOW, THEREFORE, the Owner and the Engineer in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained do mutually agree as follows: SECTION I Employment of Engineer The Owner agrees to employ the Engineer and the Engineer agrees to perform professional engineering services in connection with the Project as stated in the section to follow, and for having rendered such services, the Owner agrees to pay to the Engineer compensation as stated in the Section to follow. SECTION II Character and Extent of Services The Engineer shall render the following professional services necessary for the development of the Project: A. Preliminary_ & Design Phase: Attend preliminary conferences with the Owner to establish requirements for the Project and review available data. Conduct complete topographical field survey to gather the necessary information for the purpose of the design (Special Services). See Attachment. o 10. 11. 12. Conduct necessary boundary field survey and computations to prepare metes and bounds for a lift easement for the proposed project. Other proposed utility easement/R. O.W. will be prepared under Dixie Farm Road Widening Project. Prepare construction plans and details for approximately 11,150 feet of 16" water transmission line, extended from north of Mary's Creek Bypass to south of Clear Creek. Prepare construction plans and details for a proposed lift station to be located just south of FM 518. Prepare construction plans and details for 12" force main on Dixie Farm Road to extend from the proposed lift station to the 30" gravity trunk. Prepare construction plans and details for the 27" and 30" gravity trunk sewers. The 27" gravity trunk sewer would extend from north of Mary's Creek Bypass to the proposed lift station site just south of FM 518. The 30" gravity trunk sewer would extend from Willet Street to Longwood wastewater treatment plant. Conduct a geotechnical investigation consisting of one 30' deep bore and installation of one piezometer at lift station site, and four (4) 20' bores along gravity trunk sewers (Special Services). Scope of work is attached. Prepare detailed specifications and Contract Documents for the construction authorized by the Owner. Prepare bid quantities and post-design construction cost estimate. Conduct periodical meetings with the Owner to report project progress and resolve design issues. Furnish to the Owner ten (10) copies of approved Plans, Specifications, and Contract Documents. Construction Phase: Upon written authorization to proceed with Construction Phase, the Engineer shall: 1. Assist the Owner in the advertisement of the Project for bids. The cost of 2 the advertisement will be borne by the Owner. Assist the Owner in the opening and tabulation of bids for construction of the Project, and consult with the Owner as to the proper action to be taken, based on the engineering considerations involved. 3. Assist in the preparation of formal Contract Documents for the contract. Make periodic visits to the site (as distinguished from the continuous services of a resident Project Representative) to observe the progress and quality of the executed work and to determine in general if the work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents. In performing these services the Engineer will endeavor to protect the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the work of the Contractor, but he cannot guarantee the performance of the Contractor, nor be responsible for the actual supervision of construction 6perations or for the safety measures that the Contractor takes or should take. Consult and advise with the Owner; issue all instructions to the Contractor requested by the Owner; and prepare routine Change Orders as required.

This review is for the benefit of the Owner and covers only general conformance with the design concept of the Project and general compliance with the information given by the Contract Documents. It does not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility such as dimensions to be confirmed and correlated at the job site, appropriate safety measures to protect workers and the public, or the necessity to construct a complete and workable facility in accordance with the Contract Documents. Prepare or verify monthly and final estimates for payments to the Contractor, and furnish to the Owner any necessary certifications as to payments to the Contractor and suppliers; assemble written guarantees which are required by the Contract Documents. Conduct, in company with the Owner, a final inspection of the Project for conformance with the design concept of the Project and compliance with the Contract Documents, and approve in writing final payment to the Contractor.

The project details were verbally provided by you on October 22, 1999. The project consists of the construction of a lift station and related sanitary sewer improvements. Sco f Servi Our scope of services will consist of field exploration, laboratory testing and the preparation of a geotechnical engineering report documenting our findings and recommendations. Field Exoloration. As requested by you, we will drill one 30-ft deep soil boring at the location of the proposed lift station and four 20-ft deep borings along the sewer line alignments to evaluate the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions. We will install a piezometer in the 30-ft deep open borehole to obtain groundwater information. We will monitor the piezometer until the final report is issued. We will backfill the other four 20-ft deep open boreholes with the cuttings 24 hours after completion, and after obtaining the 24-hr water level reading. We will transport representative portions of the recovered samples to our soil mechanics laboratory for testing. Laboratory Testino. We will perform soil mechanics laboratory tests to measure physical and engineering properties of selected representative soil samples. The testing will generally include measurement of the shear strength, total unit weight, in situ moisture content, fines content and plasticity characteristics of the soils. All testing will be performed in accordance with appropriate ASTM standards. We will keep the soil samples for 30 days after the final report is presented. We will discard the samples after that time, unless instructed otherwise. ~¢~i~il~.
