COUNCIL ACTION:
ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT (hereinafter "Agreement") is
made and entered into by and between the City of Yakima, a Washington municipal
corporation (hereinafter the "City"), and Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc.
(hereinafter "Engineer").
WHEREAS, the City requires general engineering services during the interim
period which will occur after the retirement of the current City Engineer until the hiring
process to replace him is completed; and
WHEREAS, Engineer represents that it has the expertise necessary and is willing
to perform the engineering services required by the City in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and
agreements set forth herein, it is agreed by and between the City and Engineer as
follows:
1. Services: Engineer shall provide the City with consulting engineering services
during the calendar year 1999, and, if necessary, the calendar year 2000, through a series
of task orders as provided in paragraph 2 below or on an hourly rate basis. The
professional services which may be performed by task orders or on an hourly rate basis
may include, but are not necessarily limited to, those listed in Exhibits "A" and "B"
attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
2. Task Orders: Engineer shall normally provide said engineering services to the
City through a series of mutually agreed task orders that shall become a part of this
Agreement. Specifically, prior to commencement of any services, the City and Engineer
shall mutually agree upon and execute a task order for the specified engineering
services. Each task order shall describe the following items: the services to be
provided; the time of performance for the services; the fee for the services; and any
provisions additional to this Agreement. The engineering services may include, but are
not limited to, the services listed on general project description and draft task orders
attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B." However, execution of this Agreement does
not obligate either party to provide or accept any services listed in Exhibits "A" and "B"
until the parties have mutually agreed upon and executed a specific task order for the
services.
3. Time Period for Performance of Services. Engineer will commence such
services as are described on executed task orders in accordance with the time schedules
set forth therein and shall proceed with the provisions of such services in a diligent
mariner. Engineer shall not be responsible for delays caused by factors beyond
Engineer's control or which could not reasonably have been foreseen by the parties at
the time the task order was executed. In the event any payment due Engineer under the
ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT Page 1 of 17
terms of this Agreement is delinquent, Engineer shall have the right to suspend services
until all payments due have been received.
4. Standard of Performance. Engineer shall perform all work and services
required under this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted engineering and
consulting standards and shall be responsible for the professional and technical
soundness and accuracy of all work and services furnished pursuant to this Agreement.
5. Status of Engineer. Engineer and the City understand and expressly agree that
Engineer is an independent contractor in the performance of each and every part of this
Agreement. Engineer shall have the sole judgment of the means, mode or mariner of
the actual performance of work/services required under this Agreement. Engineer, as
an independent contractor, assumes the entire responsibility for carrying out and
accomplishing the work/services required under this Agreement. Additionally, and as
an independent contractor, Engineer and its employees shall make no claim of City
employment nor shall claim against the City any related employment benefits, social
security, and/ or retirement.
6. Compensation.
a. Fees for Services. In each specified task order executed by the parties, the
parties shall specify payment to Engineer for the services performed by either:
(1) agreeing upon a lump sum fee amount for the services to be provided pursuant to
the task order, or (2) agreeing to pay Engineer for the services provided pursuant to the
task order utilizing a salary cost method based upon the cost of salaries and expenses
incurred by Engineer in the provision of such services. Under the salary cost method,
the parties shall agree upon an amount which represents the estimated maximum fee to
which Engineer shall be entitled under the task order utilizing the salary cost method.
Such amount shall represent the best estimate of the parties of the maximum cost of
Engineer's services specified in the task order. In the event the costs of such services
will exceed such amount, Engineer shall advise the City in advance of such excess costs
and shall provide no services in excess of such estimated maximum costs without the
approval of the City. Under the salary cost method, the City shall pay Engineer for
services performed on the basis of the salary schedules set forth in Exhibit "C" attached
hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. Services provided on an hourly rate
basis shall be compensated for on the basis of the schedule of fees set forth in Exhibit
b. Maximum Fee for Services. Each executed task order shall describe the
maximum fee to which Engineer shall be entitled to under that task order. The
maximum fee shall represent the best estimate of the parties of the maximum cost of
Engineer's services specified in that task order.
c. Renegotiation of Maximum Fee. For all items of services which specify an
estimated maximum fee or a lump sum fee as the basis of payment, Engineer reserves
the right to renegotiate this fee if the scope of services as specified is modified or
changed by the City, whereupon additional expenses will be incurred by Engineer. The
ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT Page 2 of 17
City and Engineer shall agree to such change in fee and services in writing prior to
Engineer's provision of such modified or changed services.
d. Payment of Compensation. Engineer shall submit monthly invoices to the
City. Said invoices shall itemize all services rendered during the preceding monthly
period. The City shall make payment to Engineer within thirty (30) calendar days of
receipt of the invoice. All payments are expressly conditioned upon Engineer
providing services hereunder that are satisfactory to the City.
e. Payment in the Event of Termination. In the event that either party
exercises its right to terminate this Agreement, Engineer shall be compensated in
accordance with the above terms for all satisfactory services provided to the City up to
the effective termination date.
f. Maintenance of Financial Records/Documents. Engineer shall make the
cost records, accounts and related financial documents pertaining to this Agreement
available for inspection by representatives of the City during the term of this
Agreement and for a period of three (3) years following the final payment to Engineer
by the City. In the event that any audit or inspection identifies any discrepancy in such
financial records, Engineer shall provide the City with appropriate clarification and/ or
financial adjustments within thirty (30) calendar days of notification of the discrepancy.
g. Permit and Advertising Cost. The City shall pay all fees for costs of
necessary permits, advertising and similar items normally associated with public works
projects.

its employees and for paying all related taxes, deductions, and assessments, including
but not limited to federal income tax, FICA, social security tax, assessments for
unemployment and industrial injury, and other deductions from income which may be
required by law or assessed against either party as a result of this Agreement. In the
event the City is assessed a tax or assessment as a result of this Agreement, Engineer
shall pay the same before it becomes due.
8. Design Intent. Engineer shall prepare the design documents, drawings, and
specifications with the understanding that a representative of Engineer may be
observing the quality and progress of the resulting construction for compliance with the
design intent. Additionally, the parties agree that compensation for such monitoring
shall be addressed in an appropriate task order.

without cause, by giving the other party thirty (30) calendar days written notice of
termination.

producing and delivering such goods and services; or over the methods and styles of
competitive bidding or market conditions. Accordingly, Engineer's cost estimates are
made and furnished on the basis of Engineer's experience and qualifications and
represent only best judgment as an engineering firm familiar with the construction
industry. As such, Engineer cannot and does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of
its cost estimates, or that cost estimates will not vary significantly from the actual
project or construction costs realized by the City.
13. Construction And Safety: Engineer shall not be responsible for the means,
methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected by contractors
or the safety precautions and programs incident to work of contractors.
14. Submittal Review: Review of proposed contractor substitutions of materials

requirements with no change in contract price or time.
15. Ownership of Documents. All reports, designs, drawings, and specifications
prepared by Engineer pursuant to this Agreement shall be the property of the City
upon payment being made by the City to Engineer in accordance with this Agreement.

documents in accordance with the respective task order, or when requested by City
representatives. Engineer does not intend or represent that such documents are
suitable for reuse by the City or others on extensions of this project or with regard to
any other project. Any such reuse without the written permission of Engineer shall be
at the City's risk.
16. Information to Be Provided by the City The City shall provide Engineer with
access to all information at its disposal that is pertinent to the site of any project area,
