IIW, P.C.
THE FOLLOWING GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE ATTACHED AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
BETWEEN IIW, P.C., HEREIN REFERRED TO AS THE CONSULTANT, AND THE CLIENT IDENTIFIED IN THE ATTACHED AGREEMENT.
General Terms and Conditions
For City of Dubuque Agreements
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 C 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 Architect and the Owner warrant that in transmitting Instruments of Service, or any other information, the transmitting party is the copyright
owner of such information or has permission from the copyright owner to transmit such information for its use on the Project. If the Owner and
Architect intend to transmit Instruments of Service or any other information or documentation in digital form, they shall endeavor to establish
necessary protocols governing such transmissions.
The Architect and the Architect's consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service, including the
Drawings and Specifications, and shall retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including copyrights. Submission or
distribution of Instruments of Service to meet official regulatory requirements or for similar purposes in connection with the Project is not to be
construed as publication in derogation of the reserved rights of the Architect and the Architect's consultants.
Upon execution of this Agreement, the Architect grants to the Owner a nonexclusive license to use the Architect's Instruments of Service solely
and exclusively for purposes of constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the Project, provided that the Owner substantially
performs its obligations, including prompt payment of all sums when due, under this Agreement. The Architect shall obtain similar nonexclusive
licenses from the Architect's consultants consistent with this Agreement. The license granted under this section permits the Owner to authorize
the Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub - subcontractors, and material or equipment suppliers, as well as the Owner's consultants and separate
contractors, to reproduce applicable portions of the Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for use in performing services or construction
for the Project. If the Architect rightfully terminates this Agreement for cause as provided in Section 9.4, the license granted in this Section 7.3
shall terminate.
Page 1 of 3
jjw
IIW, P.C.
In the event the Owner uses the Instruments of Service without retaining author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner releases the Architect
and Architect's consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action arising from such uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Architect and its consultants from all costs and expenses, including the cost of defense, related to
claims and causes of action asserted by any third person or entity to the extent such costs and expenses arise from the Owner's use of the
Instruments of Service under this Section 7.3.1. The terms of this Section 7.3.1 shall not apply if the Owner rightfully terminates this Agreement
for cause under Section 9.4.
Except for the licenses granted in this Article 7, no other license or right shall be deemed granted or implied under this Agreement. The Owner
shall not assign, delegate, sublicense, pledge or otherwise transfer any license granted herein to another party without the prior written
agreement of the Architect. Any unauthorized use of the Instruments of Service shall be at the Owner's sole risk and without liability to the
Architect and the Architect's consultants.
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, PCB's, 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
Page 2 of 3

IIW, P.C.
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 are not a part of our agreement.

THE FOLLOWING GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE ATTACHED AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
BETWEEN IIW, P.C., HEREIN REFERRED TO AS THE CONSULTANT, AND THE CLIENT IDENTIFIED IN THE ATTACHED AGREEMENT.
General Terms and Conditions
For City of Dubuque Agreements
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 C 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 Architect and the Owner warrant that in transmitting Instruments of Service, or any other information, the transmitting party is the copyright
owner of such information or has permission from the copyright owner to transmit such information for its use on the Project. If the Owner and
Architect intend to transmit Instruments of Service or any other information or documentation in digital form, they shall endeavor to establish
necessary protocols governing such transmissions.
The Architect and the Architect's consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments of Service, including the
Drawings and Specifications, and shall retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including copyrights. Submission or
distribution of Instruments of Service to meet official regulatory requirements or for similar purposes in connection with the Project is not to be
construed as publication in derogation of the reserved rights of the Architect and the Architect's consultants.
Upon execution of this Agreement, the Architect grants to the Owner a nonexclusive license to use the Architect's Instruments of Service solely
and exclusively for purposes of constructing, using, maintaining, altering and adding to the Project, provided that the Owner substantially
performs its obligations, including prompt payment of all sums when due, under this Agreement. The Architect shall obtain similar nonexclusive
licenses from the Architect's consultants consistent with this Agreement. The license granted under this section permits the Owner to authorize
the Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub - subcontractors, and material or equipment suppliers, as well as the Owner's consultants and separate
contractors, to reproduce applicable portions of the Instruments of Service solely and exclusively for use in performing services or construction
for the Project. If the Architect rightfully terminates this Agreement for cause as provided in Section 9.4, the license granted in this Section 7.3
shall terminate.

IIW, P.C.
In the event the Owner uses the Instruments of Service without retaining author of the Instruments of Service, the Owner releases the Architect
and Architect's consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action arising from such uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Architect and its consultants from all costs and expenses, including the cost of defense, related to
claims and causes of action asserted by any third person or entity to the extent such costs and expenses arise from the Owner's use of the
Instruments of Service under this Section 7.3.1. The terms of this Section 7.3.1 shall not apply if the Owner rightfully terminates this Agreement
for cause under Section 9.4.
Except for the licenses granted in this Article 7, no other license or right shall be deemed granted or implied under this Agreement. The Owner
shall not assign, delegate, sublicense, pledge or otherwise transfer any license granted herein to another party without the prior written
agreement of the Architect. Any unauthorized use of the Instruments of Service shall be at the Owner's sole risk and without liability to the
Architect and the Architect's consultants.
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, PCB's, 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.
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 are not a part of our agreement.
