A. General The ENGINEER will serve as the CITY's professional engineering representative under this Agreement, providing professional engineering consultation and advice and furnishing customary services incidental thereto. B. Standard of Care The standard of care applicable to the ENGINEER's services will be the degree of skill and diligence normally employed in the State of Texas by professional engineers or consultants performing the same or similar services at the time such services are performed. C. Subsurface Investigations (1) The ENGINEER shall advise the CITY with regard to the necessity for subcontract work such as special surveys, tests, test borings, or other subsurFace investigations in connection with design and engineering work to be performed hereunder. The ENGINEER shall also advise the CITY concerning the results of same. Such surveys, tests, and investigations shall be furnished by the CITY, unless otherwise specified in Attachment A. (2) In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations, the actual characteristics may vary significantly between successive test points and sample intervals and at locations other than where observations, exploration, and investigations have been made. Because of the inherent uncertainties in subsurFace evaluations, changed or unanticipated underground conditions may occur that could affect the total PROJECT cost and/or execution. These conditions and cost/execution effects are not the responsibility of the ENGINEER. D. Preparation of Engineering Drawings The ENGINEER will provide to the CITY the original drawings of all plans in ink on reproducible plastic film sheets, or as otherwise approved by CITY, which shall become the property of the CITY. CITY may use such drawings in any manner it desires; provided, however, that the ENGINEER shall not be liable for the use of such drawings for any project other than the PROJECT described herein. STANDARD ENGINEERING AGREEMENT (REV 10/06/05) Page 2 of 15 E. Engineer's Personnel at Construction Site (1) The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction site, whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the ENGINEER or its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that belong to the CITY and/or the CITY's construction contractors or other entities, and do not relieve the construction contractors or any other entity of their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction work in accordance with the Contract Documents and any health or safety precautions required by such construction work. The ENGINEER and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions. (2) Except to the extent of specific site visits expressly detailed and set forth in Attachment A, the ENGINEER or its personnel shall have no obligation or responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar with the progress or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine, in general, if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner indicating that the PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents, nor shall anything in the Contract Documents or the agreement between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to discover latent defects in the work or otherwise check the quality or quantity of the work on the PROJECT. If, for any reason, the ENGINEER should make an on-site observation(s), on the basis of such on-site observations, if any, the ENGINEER shall endeavor to keep the CITY informed of any deviation from the Contract Documents coming to the actual notice of ENGINEER regarding the PROJECT. (3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the services set forth in the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled to rely upon such certification to establish materials, systems or equipment and performance criteria to be required in the Contract Documents.

G. Construction Progress Payments Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling and observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract Documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the ENGINEER has made an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the construction contractor has used the moneys paid; that title to any of the work, materials, or equipment has passed to the CITY free and clear of liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances; or that there are not other matters at issue between the CITY and the construction contractor that affect the amount that should be paid. H. Record Drawings Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of information compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent the exact location, type of various components, or exact manner in which the PROJECT was finally constructed.

The PROJECT will consist of the following activities, as requested by the CITY: Proposed traffic signal design plans, quantities, and specifications for the following two (2) intersections: 1. Dirks Road at Bryant Irvin Road (temporary) 2. Dirks Road at Bryant Irvin Road (permanent) 3. Dirks Road at Harris Parkway (temporary) 4. Dirks Road at Harris Parkway (permanent) PROJECT is located within the City of Fort Worth, Texas. B. The PROJECT will be included in the Section 4 bid package for the SH 121 (Southwest Pkwy.) project. The PROJECT will be prepared in accordance with North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) guidelines. C. Preliminary roadway, utility, and survey plans prepared by others (Kennedy Consulting, Inc. (KCI)) will be used as the basis for any designs associated with the PROJECT. It is assumed that Microstation CADD files will be available and all base files will provided by KCI. D. The plans, standards and any special specifications will be prepared using English units. E. Existing traffic signal specifications and standards furnished by the CITY and NTTA will be used for design plans, unless otherwise requested by the CITY in writing. These include: - City of Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works "Traffic Signal Design Guidelines, June, 2006". - Example plan set illustrating desired format for each type of plan sheet to be devefoped by the Engineer. - Example City standard traffic signal construction details and specifications. E. All Microstation CADD standards and level symbology will follow NTTA requirements. TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGNS A-� FOR DIRKS ROAD RECONSTRUCTION F. The CITY will provide determination for provision cable TV drops, vehicle detection, and Opticom equipment. G. The CITY wili review plans and provide recommendations in a timely manner. H. All intersections will be designed to accommodate existing or future pedestrian activities, including sidewalk ramps, crosswalks, push buttons, and pedestrian heads as requested by the CITY. F. The ENGINEER will furnish KCI the following items to produce a complete set of construction plans for bidding purposes: - Quantity Summary and Opinion of Probable Construction Cost - General Notes - Existing Conditions Layout (for currently signalized intersections) - Traffic Signal Design Layout (per intersection and railroad crossing) - Signs and Markings Layout (per intersection and railroad crossing) - Traffic Signal Standard Detail Sheets (for entire project) The ENGINEER assumes that the Sidewalk Ramp Layout and Geometric Modification Layout sheets typically included in a CITY traffic signal design construction plan set will be prepared by KCI.
