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

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

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 the ENGINEER makes on-site observation(s) of a deviation from the
Contract Documents, the ENGINEER shall inform the CITY.

conditions; time or quality of performance by third parties; quality, type,
management, or direction of operating personnel; and other economic
and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate PROJECT

schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses,
projections, or estimates.
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.

DISCUSSION:
Litsey Road from Independence Parkway to Gibbs Road is a major arterial on the City's Master
Thoroughfare Plan and through this project it will be widened from two-lanes to four-lanes. The one lane
bridge on this section of Litsey Road was closed in April 2007 due to severe deterioration (M&C G-15671,
April 10, 2007). The bridge has recently been reconstructed to four lanes with a temporary two-lane
approach roadway by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) under agreement with Denton
County.The City's participation in this overall improvement effort with Denton County is to provide the
permanent roadway through construction of a four-lane facility (M&C C-22445, October 16, 2007).
The attached resolution authorizes a funding agreement with TxDOT in the amount of$8,000,000.00 that
includes$6,400,000.00 in the Federal funds and $1,600,000.00 in City local match funds. Funding for the
local match is available in the 2008 Street Improvement Fund. In addition, an engineering services
agreement is included with Halff Associates, Inc., in the amount of$358,700.00 for design and
construction support services.
Halff Associates, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 30 percent
