CONSULTANT Project No. 97016.03
The CONSULTANT shall manage the contract and invoice the AGENCY in accordance with the
AGREEMENT.
The
Transpo
Group
An initial meeting shall be held to familiarize the CONSULTANT with the proposed project and
actions to date and concerns of the AGENCY and its citizens. The AGENCY will also familiar-
ize the CONSULTANT with known objectives and schedule of the proposed demonstration
project. Current rail crossing conditions and identification of a potential study area will be
discussed at the meeting. The AGENCY will turn over to the CONSULTANT 1) analytical work
the AGENCY has undertaken to review mainline rail grades in GIS, and 2) all record drawings
of the streets of importance in the vicinity of the following 2 rail crossings of the BNSF Main-
line tracks:
1. Lincoln Street
2. B Street
The CONSULTANT will perform a field inspection of the grade crossings and refine the key
study area issues. Concept sketches in suitable for incorporation into the grant application in
81/2" x 1 I" format will be prepared. The CONSULTANT will develop a list of data requirements
for the development of complete project costs. The CONSULTANT will develop an estimate of
the budget required to prepare a funding level analysis and construction cost estimate for the
2 potential rail crossing separations identified above. In addition, an order of magnitude cost
will be developed for raising the mainline BNSF line from the Nob Hill grade separation to the
north. A scope of work with the total project cost will be prepared. The CONSULTANT will
identify a proposed budget for each task identified in the scope of work. Each task will include
key milestones along with a comprehensive project schedule.
The scope of work, schedule, and budget will be incorporated into a draft memorandum for
AGENCY review. The report will include hour and budget estimates of each task. AGENCY
review comments on the draft scope, schedule, and budget will be discussed via a conference
call. Agreed upon changes will be incorporated into the final memorandum which will be re-
turned to the AGENCY for integration into the grant application.

AGENDA STATEMENT
Grade Separated Railroad Crossings.
Item No. 13
For Meeting of April 1, 1997
Department of Community and Economic Development,
Engineering Division
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Fred French, City Engineer / 575-6096
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The March 14, 1997 letter from United States Senator Slade Gorton to Mayor Lynn Buchanan contains a
request for the submittal of demonstration projects. United States Senator Patty Murray has also invited the
city to submit a specific proposal for mitigation of impacts from increased rail traffic. These projects are
for special consideration in the reauthorization of the Surface Transportation Act. One of the most critical
needs in this community is the grade separation of the existing railroad crossings in the downtown area to
improve emergency vehicle access and reduce congestion. A project scope, feasibility and budget will need
to be developed in a very short time in order to meet the submittal time line for Senators Gorton and
Murray. The crossings selected for preliminary analysis and submittal are B Street and Lincoln Avenue.
The preliminary analysis will also consider the costs and impacts of elevating the mainline tracks through
the north part of the city.
City of Yakima Resolution R 97-32 authorized The TRANSPO Group to develop a submittal to the Federal
Railroad Administration for other railroad issues. This resolution will authorize amendment number 1 to
the existing consultant agreement for the development of project budgets for submittal on the potential
grade separations at two or more locations.
The consultant cost for this scope of work is approximately $10,000.

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
The right is reserved by the AGENCY to terminate
this AGREEMENT at any time upon ten days written
notice to the CONSULTANT.
In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated by the
AGENCY other than for default on the part of the
CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the
CONSULTANT as shown in Exhibit F for the type of
AGREEMENT used.
No payment shall be made for any work completed
after ten days following receipt by the CONSULT-
ANT of the Notice to terminate. If the accumulated
payment made to the CONSULTANT prior to Notice
of Termination exceeds the total amount that would
be due computed as set forth herein above, then no
final payment shall be due and the CONSULTANT
shall immediately reimburse the AGENCY for any
excess paid.
If the services of the CONSULTANT are terminated
by the AGENCY for default on the part of the CON-
SULTANT, the above formula for payment shall not
% apply. In such an event, the amount to be paid shall be
determined by the AGENCY with consideration
given to the actual costs incurred by the CONSULT-
ANT in performing the work to the date of
termination, the amount of work originally required
which was satisfactorily completed to date of termina-
tion, whether that work is in a form or a type which is
usable to the AGENCY at the time of termination;
the cost to the AGENCY of employing another firm
to complete the work required and the time which
maybe required to do so, and other factors which
affect the value to the AGENCY of the work per-
formed at the time of termination. Under no
circumstances shall payment made under this subsec-
tion exceed the amount which would have been made
using the formula set forth in the previous paragraph.
If it is determined for any reason that the CONSULT-
ANT was not in default or that the CONSULTANT's
failure to perform is without it or it's employee's fault
or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a
termination for the convenience of the AGENCY in
accordance with the provision of this AGREEMENT.
In the event of the death of any member, partner or
officer of the CONSULTANT or any of its supervi-
sory personnel assigned to the project, or, dissolution
of the partnership, termination of the corporation, or
disaffiliation of the principally involved employee,
the surviving members of the CONSULTANT hereby
agree to complete the work under the terms of this
AGREEMENT, if requested to do so by the
AGENCY. The subsection shall not be a bar to
renegotiation of the AGREEMENT between the
surviving members of the CONSULTANT and the
AGENCY, if the AGENCY so chooses.
In the event of the death of any of the parties listed in
the previous paragraph, should the surviving members
of the CONSULTANT, with the AGENCY's concur-
rence, desire to terminate this AGREEMENT,
payment shall be made as set forth in the second
p4r4graph of this section.
Payment for any part of the work by the AGENCY
shall not constitute a waiver by the AGENCY of any
remedies of any type it may have against the CON-
SULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by
the CONSULTANT, or for failure of the CONSULT-
ANT to perform work required of it by the
AGENCY. Forbearance of any rights under the
AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of entitle-
ment to exercise those rights with respect to any
future act or omission by the CONSULTANT.
X
CHANGES OF WORK
The CONSULTANT shall make such changes and
revisions in the complete work of this AGREEMENT
as necessary to correct errors appearing therein, when
required to do so by the AGENCY, without additional
compensation thereof. Should the AGENCY find it
desirable for its own purposes to have previously
satisfactorily completed work or parts thereof
changed or revised, the CONSULTANT shall make
such revisions as directed by the AGENCY. This
work shall be considered as Extra Work and will be
paid for as herein provided under Section XIV.

tion with the work not disposed of by AGREEMENT
between the CONSULTANT and the AGENCY shall

Works or AGENCY Engineer, whose decision in the
matter shall be final and binding on the parties of this
AGREEMENT, provided however, that if an action is
brought challenging the Director of Public Works or
AGENCY Engineer's decision, that decision shall be
subject to de novo judicial review.
XII
VENUE, APPLICABLE LAW AND
PERSONAL JURISDICTION
In the event that either party deems it necessary to

negligence or the negligence of the CONSULTANT's
agents or employees.
The tONSULTANT's relation to the AGENCY shall
be at all times as an independent contractor.
The CONSULTANT specifically assumes potential
liability for actions brought by the CONSULTANT's
own employees against the AGENCY and, solely for
the purpose of this indemnification and defense, the
CONSULTANT specifically waives any immunity
under the state industrial insurance law, Title 51
RCW. The CONSULTANT recognizes that this
waiver was specifically entered into pursuant to the
provisions of RCW 4.24.115 and was the subject of
mutual negotiation.

AGENCY shall be responsible for administration of
construction contracts, if any, on the project. Subject
to the processing of an acceptable, supplemental
agreement, the CONSULTANT shall provide on-call
assistance to the AGENCY during contract adminis-
tration. By providing such assistance, the
CONSULTANT shall assume no responsibility for.
proper construction techniques, job site safety, or any
construction contractor's failure to perform its work
in accordance with the contract documents.
The CONSULTANT shall obtain and keep in force
during the terms of the AGREEMENT, or as other-
wise required, the following insurance with
companies or through sources approved by the State

services rendered and for all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete the work specified
in Section II, "Scope of Work." The CONSULTANT shall conform with the applicable portion of 48 CH( 31.
A. Actual Costs
Payment for all consulting services for this project shall be on the basis of the CONSULTANT's actual cost
plus a fixed fee. The actual cost shall include direct salary cost, overhead, and direct nonsalary cost.
1. Direct Salary Costs
The direct salary cost is the direct salary paid to principals, professional, technical, and clerical personnel
for the time they are productively engaged in work necessry to fulfill the ten= of this AGREEMENT.
2. Overhead Costs
Overhead costs are those costs other than direct costs which are included as such on the books of the
CONSULTANT in the normal everyday keeping of its books. Progress payments shall be made at the
rate shown hi the heading of this AGREEMENT, under "Overhead Progress Payment Rate." Total
overhead payment shall be based on the method shown in the heading of the AGREEMENT. The three
options are explained as follows:
a. Actual Cost Not To Exceed Maximum Percent: If this method is indicated in the heading of this
AGREEMENT, the AGENCY agrees to reimburse the CONSULTANT at the actual overhead rate
verified by audit up to the maximum percentage shown in the space provided. Final overhead pay-
ment when accumulated with all other actual costs shall not exceed the total maximum amount
payable shown in the heading of this AGREEMENT.
b. Fixed Rate: If this method is indicated in the heading of the AGREEMENT, the AGENCY agrees to
reimburse the CONSULTANT for overhead at the percentage rate shown. This rate shall not change
during the life of the AGREEMENT.
A summary of the CONSULTANT's cost estimate and the overhead computation are attached hereto as
Exhibit D-1 and by this reference made part of this AGREEMENT. When an Actual Cost method, or the
Actual Cost Not To Exceed method is used, the CONSULTANT (prime and all subconsultants) will
submit to the AGENCY within three months after the end of each firm's fiscal year, an overhead schedule
in the format required by the AGENCY (cost category, dollar expenditures, etc.) for the purpose of
adjusting the overhead rate for billing purposes. It shall be used for the computation of progress payments
during the following year and for retroactively adjusting the previous year's overhead cost to reflect the
actual rate.
Failure to supply this information by either the prime consultant or any of the subconsultants shall
cause the agency to withhold payment of the billed overhead costs until such time as the required
information is received and an overhead rate for briliing purposes is approved.
The STATE and/or the Federal Government may perform an audit of the CONSULTANT's books and
records at any time during regular business hours to determine the actual overhead rate, if they so desire.

accounts, and miscellaneous supporting data retained by the CONSULTANT. Copies of the original
supporting documents shall be provided to the AGENCY upon request. All of the above charges must be
necessary for the services to be provided under this AGREEMENT.

AGREEMENT under Fixed Fee. This amount does not include any additional fixed fee which could be
authorized from the Management Reserve Fund. This fee is based on the scope of work defined intthis
AGREEMENT and the estimated man -months required to perform the stated scope of work. In the event
a supplemental agreement is entered into for additional work by the CONSULTANT, the supplemental
agreement may include provisions for the added costs and an appropriate additional fee. The fixed fee will
be prorated and paid monthly in proportion to the percentage of work completed by the CONSULTANT
and reported in the monthly progress reports accompanying the invoices.
Any portion of the fixed fee earned but not previously paid in the progress payments will be covered in
the final payment, subject to the provisions of Section IX, Termination of Agreement.
5. Management Reserve Fund
The AGENCY may desire to establish a Management Reserve Fund to provide the Agreement
Administrator the flexibility of authorizing additional funds to the AGREEMENT for allowable unfore-
seen costs, or reimbursing the CONSULTANT for additional work beyond that already defined in this
AGREEMENT. Such authorization(s) shall be in writing and shall not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or
10% of the Total Amount Authorized as shown in the heading of this AGREEMENT. The amount

payment for extra work as stipulated in Section XIV, "Extra Work."

upon its verification by the AGENCY after the completion of the work under this AGREEMENT, contingent
upon receipt of all PS&E, plans, maps, notes, reports, and other related documents which are required to be
furnished under this AGREEMENT. Acceptance of such final payment by the CONSULTANT shall consti-
tute a release of all claims for payment which the CONSULTANT may have against the AGENCY unless
such claims are specifically reserved in writing and transmitted to the AGENCY by the CONSULTANT prior
to its acceptance. Said final payment shall not, however, be a bar to any claims that the AGENCY may have
against the CONSULTANT or to any remedies the AGENCY may pursue with respect to such claims. The
payment of any billing will not constitute agreement as to the appropriateness of any item and that at the time
of final audit, all required adjustments will be made and reflected in a final payment. In the. event that such
final audit reveals an overpayment to the CONSULTANT,. the CONSULTANT will refund such overpay-
ment to the AGENCY within ninety (90) days of notice of the overpayment Such refund shall not constitute
a waiver by the CONSULTANT for any claims relating to the'validity of a finding by the AGENCY of
overpayment.

The CONSULTANT and the subconsultants shall keep available for inspection by representatives of the
AGENCY and the United States, for a period of three years after final payment, the cost records and accounts
pertaining to this AGREEMENT and all items related to or bearing upon these records with the following
exception: if any litigation, claim, or audit arising out of, in connection with, or related to this contract is
initiated before the expiration of the three-year period, the cost records and accounts shall be retained until
such litigation, claim, or audit involving the records is completed.
