(1) with the professional skill and care ordinarily provided by competent
engineers practicing in the same or similar locality and under the same or
similar circumstances and professional license; and
(2) as expeditiously as is prudent considering the ordinary professional

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.

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.
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,
City of Fort Worth,Texas
Standard Agreement for Engineering Related Design Services
Revised Date:11.17.17
Page 3 of 17
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
this 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.
(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.

(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the
current available information at the time of preparation, in accordance
with Attachment A.

projections, and schedules for the PROJECT, the ENGINEER has no
control over cost or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent
conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect operation
or maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market
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 cost or schedule. Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no
warranty that the CITY's actual PROJECT costs, financial aspects,
economic feasibility, or 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
City of Fort Worth,Texas

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.

Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of
information compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent
