A. Engineer will furnish services to the City in accordance with the terms and
conditions specified in this Contract. Payment for the services of Engineer shall be due
and payable upon submission and approval of a statement for services to City.
Statements for services shall not be submitted more frequently than monthly.
After consultation with the City, the Engineer shall specify the basis of
compensation in the scope of work for the project. The Engineer shall provide adequate
detail of the basis of compensation so that the City can determine the reasonableness
of the fees and have the ability to make reasonable progress payments to the Engineer
based upon work completed at the payment intervals. The Engineer shall subcontract
for all subconsultants, subject to City approval, necessary to complete the scope of
work. The subconsultant's fees and administrative mark-up, if any, shall be included in
the scope of work. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the method of compensation shall
be one of the following methods:
1. Salary Cost Times Multiplier Plus Direct Nonsalary Expense ("Salary")
Compensation shall be based on 1) the direct salaries (including benefits)
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
total fees for the project, which shall not be exceeded without prior City
approval.
2. Per Diem ("Per Diem")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) an agreed upon lump sum per day
for specific services; and 2) reimbursement for direct nonsalary
expenditures and subconsultant contracts as defined in the scope of work
for the project. This method is best suited to expert witness work or other
short-term engagements involving intermittent services.
3. Cost Plus Fixed Fee ("Cost Plus")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) reimbursement of the actual costs
of all services and supplies related to the project and 2) an agreed upon
fixed fee (profit). The Engineer shall provide an estimate of the costs to
be reimbursed, but actual compensation shall be based upon invoices and
supporting documentation provided by the Engineer.
4. Lump Sum ("Lump")
Compensation shall be based upon an agreed lump sum payment for
completing the entire scope of work. This method is best suited to
investigations or studies and for basic services with limited scope and
complexity.
5. Percent of Construction ("Percent")
Compensation shall be based upon 1) the "Harris County Curve for
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 low 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 half percent (1/2%) 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.
B. All the Engineer's working drawings, plans, and specifications, if required under
this Contract, shall be sufficiently accurate, detailed, and complete so that competitive
bids for the work can be obtained and the improvements constructed.
C. Approval of the Engineer's work by the City shall not release the Engineer, its
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.
3. Term and Termination. This Contract term will begin upon execution and end sixty
days after issuance of the certification of completion of construction by the Engineer.
The City may terminate this Contract at any time during its term by giving written notice
to Engineer. The City shall pay the Engineer for all services rendered to the date of
termination.
4. Modifications. City without invalidating the Contract, may order changes within the
general scope of the work required by the Contract by altering, adding to and/or
deducting from the work to be performed. If any change under this clause causes an
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.
3
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
corrective action, which may include cancellation of such subcontract. Subletting by
subcontractors shall be subject to the same regulations. Nothing contained in the
Contract shall create any contractual relation between any subcontractor and City.
