E.
Preparation of Engineering Drawings
The ENGINEER will provide to the CITY the original drawings of all plans in

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.
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 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

(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 actu�l 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
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.

information compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent
the exact location, type of various components, or exact manner in which the

' COUNCIL ACTION; ; Approved on 5/7/2013
DATE: Tuesday, May 07, 2013
LOG NAME: 06PSTC MATERIALS TESTING CONTRACT
REFERENCE NO.: **C-26219
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with CMJ Engineering, Inc., in the Amount of
$321,855.00 for Materials Testing Associated with the New Public Safety Training Center and Provide for
Contingencies for a Totai Project Cost in the Amount of $350,000.00 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an engineering Agreement with CMJ
Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $321,855.00 for materials testing associated with the new Public
Safety Training Center.
DISCUSSION:
State law requires that the City provide for materials testing on a design-build project such as this. Site
demolition and earthwork are underway at the Public Safety Training Center project. This Mayor and
Council Communication will provide for materials testing throughout the duration of the construction on an
as needed/on call basis. Funding for this materials testing contract comes from the previously
appropriated project budget amount (M&C C-25798). The Design-Builder consents to this action. Staff
will be working with the design-build team to coordinate materials testing.
CMJ Engineering, Inc., is one of the City's annual-contract geotechnical and construction material testing
firms and was selected for this project in part due to its prior service to the City.
Additional funds in the amount of $28,145.00 are being reserved for contingencies for a total project cost
in the amount of $350,000.00.
M/WBE Office: A waiver for SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Transportation and
Public Works Department and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services
from source(s) where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
The project is physically located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9 but will serve Fort Worth residents in ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the Public Safety Training Facility Fund.
