exist at or adjacent to the Site.
B. Undisclosed Constituents of Concern: For purposes of this Paragraph 6.09, the presence at
or adjacent to the Site of Constituents of Concern that were not disclosed to Engineer
pursuant to Paragraph 6.09.A, in such quantities or circumstances that such Constituents of
Concern may present a danger to persons or property exposed to them, will be referred to
as "undisclosed" Constituents of Concern.

services related to undisclosed Constituents of Concern. If Engineer or any other party
encounters, uncovers, or reveals an undisclosed Constituent of Concern, or if encountered,
uncovered, or revealed Constituents of Concern are present in substantially greater
quantities or substantially different locations than disclosed or anticipated, or if investigative
or remedial action, or other professional services, are necessary or required by applicable
Laws and Regulations with respect to such Constituents of Concern, then Engineer may, at
its option and without liability for direct, consequential, or any other damages, suspend
performance of services on the portion of the Project adversely affected thereby until such
portion of the Project is no longer so affected; and Owner shall promptly determine whether
to retain a qualified expert to evaluate such condition or take any necessary corrective
action.

disclosed or anticipated, adversely affects the performance of Engineer's services under this
Agreement, then:
1. if the adverse effects do not preclude Engineer from completing its Project services in
general accordance with this Agreement on unaffected or marginally affected portions
of the Project, Engineer may accept an equitable adjustment in its compensation or in
the time of completion, or both; and the Agreement will be amended to reflect changes
necessitated by the presence of such Constituents of Concern; or
2. if the adverse effects are of such materiality to the overall performance of Engineer that
it cannot complete its services without significant changes to the scope of services, time
of completion, and compensation, then Engineer may terminate this Agreement for
cause on 7 days' written notice.

to, or resulting from a Constituent of Concern at, on, or under the Site, provided that:
1. any such claim, cost, loss, damages, action, or judgment is attributable to bodily injury,
sickness, disease, or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than

indemnifications, and limitations of liability included in this Agreement will survive its
completion or termination for any reason.
C. Severability: Any provision or part of the Agreement held to be void or unenforceable under
any Laws or Regulations will be deemed stricken, and all remaining provisions will continue
to be valid and binding upon Owner and Engineer.
D. No Waiver: A party's non -enforcement of any provision will not constitute a waiver of that
provision, nor will it affect the enforceability of that provision or of the remainder of this
Agreement.

Documents. Engineer will not, during such visits or as a result of such observations
of the Work, supervise, direct, or have control over the Work, nor will Engineer
have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by any Constructor, for
security or safety at the Site, for safety precautions and programs incident to any
Constructor's work in progress, for the coordination of the Constructors' work or
schedules, nor for any failure of any Constructor to comply with Laws and
Regulations applicable to furnishing and performing of its work. Accordingly,
Engineer neither guarantees the performance of any Constructor nor assumes
responsibility for any Constructor's failure to furnish or perform the Work, or any
portion of the Work, in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents.
10. Defective Work: If, on the basis of Engineer's observations or as indicated in
documentation available to Engineer, Engineer believes that any part of the Work is
defective under the terms and standards set forth in the Construction Contract
Documents, Engineer will promptly issue written notice to Contractor (with copy to
Owner) of such defective Work. Such notice will communicate the scope, extent (to
Engineer's understanding) of defect, and associated provisions of the Construction
Contract Documents.
a. Provide recommendations to Owner regarding whether Contractor should correct
such Work or remove and replace such Work, or whether Owner should consider
accepting the defective Work in accordance with the provisions of the Construction
Contract Documents. Engineer shall give notice to Contractor regarding whether
the defective Work should be repaired, replaced, or will be accepted by Owner.
b. However, Engineer's authority to provide this information to Owner or Engineer's
decision to exercise or not exercise such authority will not give rise to a duty or
responsibility of the Engineer to Contractors, Subcontractors, material and
equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or any other person(s) or entities
performing any of the Work, including but not limited to any duty or responsibility
for Contractors' or Subcontractors' safety precautions and programs incident to
the Work.

concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole, then inform Owner of such
incompatibility, and provide recommendations for addressing such Work.
12. Clarifications and Interpretations: Accept from Contractor and Owner submittal of all
matters in question concerning the requirements of the Construction Contract
Documents (sometimes referred to as requests for information or interpretation—RFIs),
or relating to the acceptability of the Work under the Construction Contract Documents.
With reasonable promptness, render a written clarification, interpretation, or decision
on the issue submitted, or initiate an amendment or supplement to the Construction
Contract Documents.
13. Non -reviewable Matters: If a submitted matter in question concerns the Engineer's
performance of its duties and obligations, or terms and conditions of the Construction
Contract Documents that do not involve (a) the performance or acceptability of the
Work under the Construction Contract Documents, (b) the design (as set forth in the
Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), or (c) other engineering or technical matters,
then Engineer will promptly give written notice to Owner and Contractor that Engineer
will not provide a decision or interpretation.
14. Field Orders: Subject to any limitations in the Construction Contract Documents,
Engineer may prepare and issue Field Orders requiring minor changes in the Work.
15. Change Orders and Work Change Directives: Recommend Change Orders and Work
Change Directives to Owner, as appropriate, and prepare Change Orders and Work
Change Directives as required.
16. Change Proposals and Claims
a. Review and respond to Change Proposals. Review each duly submitted Change
Proposal from Contractor and, within 30 days after receipt of the Contractor's
supporting data, either deny the Change Proposal in whole, approve it in whole, or

a. Receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals required by
Laws and Regulations or the Construction Contract Documents. Engineer's review
of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining whether the results
certified indicate compliance with the Construction Contract Documents and will
not constitute an independent evaluation that the content or procedures of such
inspections, tests, or approvals comply with the requirements of the Construction
Contract Documents. Engineer shall be entitled to rely on the results of such
inspections and tests.
b. Reply to Contractor requests for written concurrence that specific portions of the

experienced and qualified design professional and on review of Applications for
Payment and accompanying supporting documentation:
a. Determine the amounts that Engineer recommends Contractor be paid.
Recommend reductions in payment (set offs) based on the provisions for set offs
stated in the Construction Contract. Such recommendations of payment will be in
writing and will constitute Engineer's representation to Owner, based on such
observations and review, that, within the limits of Engineer's knowledge,
information and belief, Contractor's Work has progressed to the point indicated,
the Work is generally in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the
Construction Contract Documents, and to any other qualifications stated in the
recommendation), and the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to
such payment appearto have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility
to observe the Work. In the case of unit price Work, Engineer's recommendations
of payment will include final determinations of quantities and classifications of the
Exhibit A —Engineer's Services.

Work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Construction
Contract Documents).
b. By recommending payment, Engineer shall not thereby be deemed to have
represented that observations made by Engineer to check the quality or quantity
of Contractor's Work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive,
extended to every aspect of Contractor's Work in progress, or involved detailed
inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to
Engineer in this Agreement. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's Work for the
purposes of recommending payments nor Engineer's recommendation of any
payment including final payment will impose on Engineer responsibility to
supervise, direct, or control the Work, or for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction or safety precautions or programs
incident thereto, or Contractor's compliance with Laws and Regulations applicable
to Contractor's furnishing and performing the Work. It will also not impose
responsibility on Engineer to make any examination to ascertain how or for what
purposes Contractor has used the money paid to Contractor by Owner; to
determine that title to any portion of the Work, including materials or equipment,
has passed to Owner free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances; or that there may not be other matters at issue between Owner
and Contractor that might affect the amount that should be paid.
22. Contractor's Completion Documents: Receive from Contractor, review, and transmit to
Owner maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance required by the Construction Contract
Documents, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, and Shop Drawings, Samples,
and other data approved as provided under Exhibit A Paragraph 1.06.13.18. Receive from
Contractor, review, and transmit to Owner the annotated record documents which are
to be assembled by Contractor in accordance with the Construction Contract
Documents to obtain final payment. The extent of Engineer's review of record
documents will be to check that Contractor has submitted a complete set of those
documents that Contractor is required to submit.
23. Substantial Completion: Promptly after notice from Contractor that Contractor
considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, visit the Site in company with
Owner and Contractor to review the Work and determine the status of completion.
Follow the procedures in the Construction Contract regarding the preliminary certificate
of Substantial Completion, punch list of items to be completed, Owner's objections,
notice to Contractor, and issuance of a final certificate of Substantial Completion. Assist
Owner regarding any remaining engineering or technical matters affecting Owner's use
or occupancy of the Work following Substantial Completion.

regarding the requirements of the Construction Contract Documents, and judge the
acceptability of the Work, pursuant to the specific procedures set forth in the
Construction Contract for initial interpretations, Change Proposals, and acceptance of
the Work. In rendering such decisions and judgments, Engineer will not show partiality
to Owner or Contractor, and will not be liable to Owner, Contractor, or others in
connection with any proceedings, interpretations, decisions, or judgments conducted
or rendered in good faith.
C. Duration of Construction Phase: The Construction Phase will commence with the execution
of the first Construction Contract for the Project or any part thereof and will terminate upon
written recommendation by Engineer for final payment to Contractor. If the Project involves
more than one (1) prime contract as indicated in Exhibit A Paragraph 1.04.A.1, then
Construction Phase services may be rendered at different times in respect to the separate
contracts. Subject to the provisions of Article 3, Engineer shall be entitled to an equitable
increase in compensation if Construction Phase services (including Resident Project
Representative services, if any) are required after the original date for completion and
readiness for final payment of Contractor as set forth in the Construction Contract.

subcontractors of each and any of them, from and against all claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution
costs) arising out of or relating to such Work or other action. It is not Contractor's
responsibility to make certain that the Work described in the Contract Documents is in
accordance with Laws and Regulations, but this does not relieve Contractor of its
obligations under Paragraph 3.03.
7.18 Indemnification
A. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, and in addition to any
other obligations of Contractor under the Contract or otherwise, Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless Owner and Engineer, and the officers, directors, members,
partners, employees, agents, consultants and subcontractors of each and any of them,
from losses, damages, costs, and judgments (including but not limited to all fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals, and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising from third -party claims or actions
relating to or resulting from the performance or furnishing of the Work, provided that any
such claim, action, loss, cost, judgment or damage is attributable to bodily injury, sickness,
disease, or death, or to damage to or destruction of tangible property (other than the
Work itself), including the loss of use resulting therefrom, but only to the extent caused
by any negligent act or omission of Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or any
individual or entity directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform any of the
Work, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.
B. In any and all claims against Owner or Engineer, or any of their officers, directors,
members, partners, employees, agents, consultants, or subcontractors, by any employee
(or the survivor or personal representative of such employee) of Contractor, any
Subcontractor, any Supplier, or any individual or entity directly or indirectly employed by
any of them to perform any of the Work, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be
liable, the indemnification obligation under Paragraph 7.18.A will not be limited in any
way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits
payable by or for Contractor or any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or

C. If Contractor damages, delays, disrupts, or interferes with the work of any other
contractor, or any utility owner performing other work at or adjacent to the Site, through
Contractor's failure to take reasonable and customary measures to avoid such impacts,
or if any claim arising out of Contractor's actions, inactions, or negligence in performance
of the Work at or adjacent to the Site is made by any such other contractor or utility owner
against Contractor, Owner, or Engineer, then Contractor shall (1) promptly attempt to
settle the claim as to all parties through negotiations with such other contractor or utility
owner, or otherwise resolve the claim by arbitration or other dispute resolution
proceeding or at law, and (2) indemnify and hold harmless Owner and Engineer, and the
officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, consultants and
subcontractors of each and any of them from and against any such claims, and against all
costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such damage, delay, disruption, or

thus estimated will be exceeded, Engineer shall give Owner written notice thereof,
allowing Owner to consider its options, including suspension or termination of
Engineer's services for Owner's convenience. Upon notice Owner and Engineer will
promptly review the matter of services remaining to be performed and
compensation for such services. Owner shall either exercise its right to suspend or
terminate Engineer's services for Owner's convenience, agree to such
compensation exceeding said estimated amount, or agree to a reduction in the
remaining services to be rendered by Engineer, so that total compensation for such
services will not exceed said estimated amount when such services are completed.
If Owner decides not to suspend Engineer's services during negotiations and
Engineer exceeds the estimated amount before Owner and Engineer have agreed
to an increase in the compensation due Engineer or a reduction in the remaining
services, then Engineer shall be paid for all services rendered hereunder.
4. The Standard Hourly Rates and the Reimbursable Expenses Schedule will be adjusted
annually (as of January 1) to reflect equitable changes in the compensation payable to
Engineer for RPR-related services and expenses.
5. To the extent necessary to verify Engineer's charges and upon Owner's timely request,
Engineer shall make copies of such records available to Owner at cost.

EXHIBIT K—GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS - CITY OF DUBUQUE/ORIGIN DESIGN
The standard of care for all professional services performed or furnished by Consultant under this Agreement will
be the skill and care used by members of Consultant's profession practicing under similar circumstances at the
some time and in the same locality. Consultant makes no warranties, express or implied, under this Agreement or
otherwise, in connection with Consultant's service.
The Client shall provide all criteria and full information with regard to Client's requirements for the Project, and shall
designate a person to act with authority on Client's 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 in writing prior to the performance of any such
services 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 insurance as described in Insurance Schedule J (Exhibit G).
Neither the Client nor the Consultant shall be liable to the other for any consequential damages incurred due to
the fault of the other or their agents. Consequential damages include, but are not limited to, loss of use, loss of
profit and loss of markets.
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 to negotiate all disputes between them in good faith for a period of 30 days from
the date of notice, prior to invoking mediation. If the parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution, then they
shall prepare appropriate documentation memorializing the resolution. If the parties cannot reach a mutually
acceptable resolution they shall proceed to mediation in accordance with this agreement.
The Client and Consultant agree that they shall submit any and all unsettled claims, counterclaims, disputes, and
other matters in question between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement to nonbinding 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 Client 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 bind themselves, their 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 with or without
cause for any reason or no reason. 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.
This Agreement supersedes all terms and conditions contained on a purchase order typically procuring products.
It is understood by both parties upon execution of this agreement that if a purchase order is issued, it is for
accounting purposes only. Purchase order terms and conditions are void and not a part of our agreement.
