Engineer shall not be compensated for any alleged or actual additional work resulting
from verbal orders of any person.
City shall make available to Engineer in the performance of the contract, all existing
plans, maps, field notes, statistics, computations, and other data in its possession relative
to the site(s) designated for investigation. City assumes no responsibility for the accuracy
of such data furnished to Engineer by the City, its agents, contractors, or subcontractors.
Section 2. City agrees to pay Engineer for testing services on a unit price per
authorized test basis. The unit price to be paid for each authorized service shall not
exceed the unit price amount set out in the schedule of Fees and Services, attached
hereto, marked "Attachment B", and incorporated herein for all purposes incident to this
contract. In no event shall the total amount to be paid by the City for all services

developer is responsible, City will forward Engineer's invoice to said developer for
payment directly to Engineer, and evidence of such payment shall be provided by
developer to City prior to the project's completion. Failure of developer to pay Engineer
will result in the City withholding final acceptance of the project from the developer until
