General Terms and Conditions
The following General Terms and Conditions shall apply to the attached Agreement for Professional Services
between Origin Design Co., herein referred to as the Consultant, and the Client identified in the attached
Agreement.
The Client shall provide all criteria and full information with regard to his or her requirements for the Project, and
shall designate a person to act with authority on his or her behalf with respect to all aspects of the Project. This
shall include, but not be limited to, review and approval of design issues in the schematic design phase, design
development phase, and contract documents phase. These approvals shall include an authorization to proceed
to the next phase.
Services beyond those outlined in the proposal may be required or be required as a result of unforeseen
circumstances. The Consultant under terms mutually agreed upon by the Client and the Consultant may provide
these services.
For the scope of services agreed upon, the Client agrees to pay the Consultant the compensation as stated.
Invoices for the Consultant's services shall be submitted, at the Consultant's option, either upon completion of any
phase of service or on a monthly basis. Invoices shall be payable when rendered and shall be considered past due
if not paid within 30 days after the invoice date. A service charge will be charged at the rate of 1.5% (18% true
annual rate) per month or the maximum allowed by law on the then outstanding balance of Past Due accounts. In
the event any portion of an account remains unpaid 90 days after billing, the Client shall pay all costs of collection,
including reasonable attorney's fees.
The Consultant shall secure and maintain professional liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance,
and automobile liability insurance to protect the Consultant from claims for negligence, bodily injury, death, or
property damage which may arise out of the performance of the Consultant's services under this Agreement, and
from claims under the Worker's Compensation Acts. The Consultant shall, if requested in writing, issue a certificate
confirming such insurance to the Client. Consultant shall at all times during the performance of this Agreement
provide insurance as required by the City of Dubuque Insurance Schedule J with a Certificate of Insurance on file
with the City.
The Client and the Consultant each agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless, and their respective officers,
employees, agents, and representatives, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and expenses
(including reasonable attorney's fees) to the extent such claims, losses, damages, or expenses are caused by the
indemnifying party's negligent acts, errors, or omissions. In the event claims, losses, damages or expenses are
caused by the joint or concurrent negligence of Client and Consultant, they shall be borne by each party in
proportion to its negligence.
Neither party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in the performance
of its obligations results from any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its negligence.
The Client and Consultant agree that they shall first submit any and all unsettled claims, counterclaims, disputes,
and other matters in question between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement to mediation in accordance
with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association effective as of the date of
this agreement.
The City acknowledges the Consultant's plans and specifications, including all documents on electronic media, as
instruments of professional service. Nevertheless, any plans, specifications or studies prepared under this
Agreement shall become the property of the City upon completion of the services and payment in full of all moneys
due to the Consultant.
Copies of documents that may be relied upon by the Client are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard
copies) that are signed or sealed by the Consultant. Files in electronic media format or text, data, graphic, or of
other types that are furnished by the Consultant to the Client are only for convenience of the Client. Any conclusion
or information obtained or derived from such electronic files will be at the user's sole risk. When transferring
documents in electronic media format, the Consultant makes no representations as to long-term compatibility,

usability, or readability of documents resulting from the use of software application packages, operating systems,
or computer hardware differing from those used by the Consultant at the beginning of this project.
The delivery of electronic information to Contractors is for the benefit of the Owner for whom the design services
have been performed. Nothing in the transfer should be construed to provide any right of the Contractor to rely on
the information provided or that the use of the electronic information implies the review and approval by the Design
Professional of the information. Electronic information is drawings, data, modeled data, or computational models.
It is our professional opinion that this electronic information provides design information current as of the date of
its release. Any use of this information is at the sole risk and liability of the user who is also responsible for updating
the information to reflect any changes in the design following the preparation date of this information. The transfer
of electronic information is subject to the approval of the Design Professional. Depending upon the type of
information requested, and the format, a fee may be required for acquisition of the data, payable to the Design
Professional. Contractors are required to submit a request in writing to the Design Professional indicating the type
and format of the information requested. The Design Professional will make a reasonable effort to determine
whether or not the information can be provided as requested, and the fee for providing the information.
If this Agreement provides for any construction phase services by the Consultant, it is understood that the
Contractor, not the Consultant, its agents, employees, or sub -consultants, is responsible for the construction of the
project, and that the Consultant is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor, subcontractor, or
material supplier; for safety precautions, programs, or enforcement; or for construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences, and procedures employed by the Contractor.
When included in the Consultant's scope of services, opinions of probable construction cost are prepared on the
basis of the Consultant's experience and qualifications and represent the Consultant's judgment as a professional
generally familiar with the industry. However, since the Consultant has no control over the cost of labor, materials,
equipment, or services furnished by others; over contractor's methods of determining prices, or over competitive
bidding or market conditions, the Consultant cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual
construction cost will not vary from the Consultant's opinions of probable construction cost.
The Client and the Consultant each binds himself or herself, partners, successors, executors, administrators,
assigns, and legal representative to the other party of this Agreement and to the partners, successors, executors,
administrators, assigns, and legal representative of such other party in respect to all covenants, agreements, and
obligations of this Agreement.
Neither the Client nor the Consultant shall assign, sublet or transfer any rights under or interest in (including but
without limitations, monies that may be due or monies that are due) this Agreement, without the written consent of
the other, except as stated in the paragraph above, and except to the extent that the effect of this limitation may
be restricted by law. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no
assignment will release or discharge the assigner from any duty or responsibility under this Agreement. Nothing
contained in this paragraph shall prevent the Consultant from employing such independent consultants,
associates, and sub -contractors, as he or she may deem appropriate to assist in the performance of services
hereunder.
It is acknowledged by both parties that the Consultant's scope of services does not include any services related
to the presence at the site of asbestos, PCBs, petroleum, hazardous waste, or radioactive materials. The Client
acknowledges that the Consultant is performing professional services for the Client and the Consultant is not and
shall not be required to become an "arranger", "operator", "generator", or "transporter" of hazardous substances,
as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1990 (CERCLA).
The Client may terminate this Agreement with seven days (7) prior written notice to the Consultant for convenience
or cause. The Consultant may terminate this Agreement for cause with seven (7) days prior written notice to the
Client. The Client is obligated to pay for all services rendered up to the date the Consultant receives the written
notice of intent to terminate. Failure of the Client to make payments when due shall be cause for suspension of
services or ultimately termination, unless and until the Consultant has been paid in all full amounts due for services,
expenses, and other related charges.
