Article IV
Obligations of the Engineer
Amendments to A�ticle IV, if any, are included in Attachment C.
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

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 befinreen 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

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 asce�tain 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.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering services
contract with Freese & Nichols, Inc. in the amount of $157,600.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed 36-inch waterline is part of the Northside III Water Transmission Line ultimately planned
to extend from the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Facility to the far north Fort Worth area, to meet
increasing water demand. The phase proposed to be designed by Freese & Nichols, Inc. will
commence at Fossil Hills Estates and extend to Harmon Road, a distance of approximately 16,000 feet.
This project is located north of U.S. 287 and west of IH-35W.
