If the Client chooses to ultimately approve a construction cost more than 5%higher than
the currently budgeted amount, HKS and its consultants reserve the right to equitably
adjust our fees based on the new approved cost.
Regarding the civil and landscape proposal,you will notice that some services are proposed
as hourly not to exceed. For proposal purposes,we are reflecting the full fee amount but

the intent would be to minimize these services so as to realize a savings in overall fee by the
end of the project.
We understand that the City has set a goal for this project of 6%of the fee dollars set aside
for small business enterprises(SBE)within the design team. Based on final consultant
proposals received and reflected in the fees above,our current SBE participation is 33%. A
breakdown can be provided to the Client upon request.
HKS will invoice for services and reimbursable expenses on a monthly basis,with payment
due upon receipt of invoice. Invoices for which payment are more than thirty days past due
will accrue interest at the rate of seven percent per annum. Client agrees to pay HI(S for
services rendered pursuant to this contract.

and one-tenth times the actual cost. An estimated reimbursable amount can be provided
upon request.

services described in this proposal, HKS shall submit an additional service request to the
Client for approval, prior to commencement of the services. Additional services shall be a
stipulated sum based on our approved hourly rates.

are required and in the event Client request these consultants be retained by HKS, HKS will
invoice these additional consultants at one and fifteen one hundredths times the amount
invoiced HKS by the consultants. HKS reserves the right to qualify and select any
consultants who will be under HKS contract.

shall be paid for services performed and reimbursable expenses incurred up to the date of
