PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT (2014-2018)
This Agreement is made and entered by and between AECOM Technical Services, Inc., 501
Sycamore Street, Suite 222, Waterloo, Iowa, hereinafter referred to as "ATS" and City of Waterloo,
Waterloo Regional Airport, 2970 Livingston Lane, Waterloo, Iowa, hereinafter referred to as "CLIENT."
IN CONSIDERATION of the covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually agree as
follows:
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
ATS shall perform professional Services (the "Services") in connection with CLIENT's facilities
in accordance with the Scope of Services set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
II. ATS'S RESPONSIBILITIES
ATS shall, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement:
(a) Appoint one or more individuals who shall be authorized to act on behalf of ATS and
with whom CLIENT may consult at all reasonable times, and whose instructions,
requests, and decisions will be binding upon ATS as to all matters pertaining to this
Agreement and the performance of the parties hereunder.
(b) Use all reasonable efforts to complete the Services within the time period mutually
agreed upon, except for reasons beyond its control.
(c) Perform the Services in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering
standards in existence at the time of performance of the Services. If during the two
year period following the completion of Services, it is shown that there is an error in
the Services solely as a result of ATS's failure to meet these standards, ATS shall re-
perform such substandard Services as may be necessary to remedy such error at no
cost to CLIENT. Since ATS has no control over local conditions, the cost of labor and
materials, or over competitive bidding and market conditions, ATS does not guarantee
the accuracy of any construction cost estimates as compared to contractor's bids or
the actual cost to the CLIENT. ATS makes no other warranties either express or
implied and the parties' rights, liabilities, responsibilities and remedies with respect to
the quality of Services, including claims alleging negligence, breach of warranty and
breach of contract, shall be exclusively those set forth herein.
(d) ATS shall, if requested in writing by CLIENT, for the protection of CLIENT, require
from all vendors and subcontractors from which ATS procures equipment, materials
or services for the project, guarantees with respect to such equipment, materials and
services. All such guarantees shall be made available to CLIENT to the full extent of
the terms thereof. ATS's liability with respect to such equipment, and materials
obtained from vendors or services from subcontractors, shall be limited to procuring
guarantees from such vendors or subcontractors and rendering all reasonable
assistance to CLIENT for the purpose of enforcing the same.

(e) ATS will be providing estimates of costs to the CLIENT covering an extended period
of time. ATS does not have control over any such costs, including, but not limited to,
costs of labor, material, equipment or services furnished by others or over competitive
bidding, marketing or negotiating conditions, or construction contractors' methods of
determining their prices. Accordingly, it is acknowledged and understood that any
estimates, projections or opinions of probable project costs provided herein by ATS
are estimates only, made on the basis of ATS's experience and represent ATS's
reasonable judgment as a qualified professional. ATS does not guaranty that
proposals, bids or actual project costs will not vary from the opinions of probable costs
prepared by ATS, and the CLIENT waives any and all claims that it may have against
ATS as a result of any such variance.
III. CLIENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES
CLIENT shall at such times as may be required for the successful and expeditious completion
of the Services;
(a) Provide all criteria and information as to CLIENT's requirements; obtain all necessary
approvals and permits required from all governmental authorities having jurisdiction
over the project; and designate a person with authority to act on CLIENTs behalf on
all matters concerning the Services.
(b) Furnish to ATS all existing studies, reports and other available data pertinent to the
Services, and obtain additional reports, data and services as may be required for the
project. ATS shall be entitled to rely upon all such information, data and the results of
such other services in performing its Services hereunder.
IV. INDEMNIFICATION
ATS agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CLIENT from and against any and all suits,
actions, damages, loss, liability or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees directly related thereto) for bodily injury or death of any person or damage to third party
property if and to the extent arising from the negligent errors or omissions or willful misconduct
of ATS during the performance of the Services hereunder.

(b) Commercial General Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability and Automobile
liability insurance including (owned, non -owned, or hired), each in a combined single
limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence for bodily injury and property
damage liability. This policy includes Contractual Liability coverage. ATS agrees to
name CLIENT as Additional Insured on this policy, but only to the extent of ATS's
negligence under this Agreement and only to the extent of the insurance limits
specified herein.

(c) Professional Liability Insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per claim and in the
aggregate covering ATS against all sums which ATS may become legally obligated to
pay on account of any professional liability arising out of the performance of this
Agreement.

coverage prior to the start of Services hereunder and annually thereafter if required. ATS shall
provide prompt notice to the CLIENT in the event of cancellation, material change, or non-
renewal per standard ISO Acord Form wording and the policy provisions.

Compensation for the Services shall be in accordance with the following:
A. Compensation for the Services may be on an hourly basis in accordance with the
hourly fees and other direct expenses in effect at the time the services are
performed.

lump sum fee. The alternate method of compensation will be agreed to by both
parties as part of the Project definition and estimate.
C. Compensation for AIP-eligible projects may be as a lump sum fee or on an hourly
basis using cost plus fixed fee method. A not -to -exceed amount shall be provided
at time of execution. If a substantial change in scope occurs, an amendment may

shall pay to ATS the undisputed portion of the invoice according to the provisions
hereof. CLIENT agrees to abide by any applicable statutory prompt pay provisions
currently in effect.

CLIENT may, with or without cause, terminate the Services at any time upon fourteen (14)
days written notice to ATS. The obligation to provide further Services under this Agreement
may be terminated by either party upon fourteen (14) days' written notice in the event of
substantial failure by the other party to perform in accordance with the terms hereof through no
fault of the terminating party, providing such defaulting party has not cured such failure, or, in
the event of a non -monetary default, commenced reasonable actions to cure such failure. In
either case, ATS will be paid for all expenses incurred and Services rendered to the date of the
termination in accordance with compensation terms of Article VI.

VIII. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
(a) Sealed original drawings, specifications, final project speck calculations and other
instruments of service which ATS prepares and delivers to CLIENT pursuant to this
Agreement shall become the property of CLIENT when ATS has been compensated
for Services rendered. CLIENT shall have the right to use such instruments of service
solely for the purpose of the construction, operation and maintenance of the Facilities.
Any other use or reuse of original or altered files shall be at CLIENT's sole risk
without liability or legal exposure to ATS and CLIENT agrees to release, defend and
hold ATS harmless from and against all claims or suits asserted against ATS in the
event such documents are used for a purpose different than originally prepared even
though such claims or suits may be based on allegations of negligence by ATS.
Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed as limiting or depriving ATS of
its rights to use its basic knowledge and skills to design or carry out other projects or
work for itself or others, whether or not such other projects or work are similar to the
work to be performed pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Any files delivered in electronic medium may not work on systems and software
different than those with which they were originally produced and ATS makes no
warranty as to the compatibility of these files with any other system or software.
Because of the potential degradation of electronic medium over time, in the event of a
conflict between the sealed original drawings and the electronic files, the sealed
drawings will govern.
IX. MEANS AND METHODS
(a) ATS shall not have control or charge of and shall not be responsible for construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety measures and
programs including enforcement of Federal and State safety requirements, in
connection with construction work performed by CLIENTs construction contractors.
Nor shall ATS be responsible for the supervision of CLIENTs construction
contractors, subcontractors or of any of their employees, agents and representatives
of such contractors; or for inspecting machinery, construction equipment and tools
used and employed by contractors and subcontractors on CLIENT's construction
projects and shall not have the right to stop or reject work without the thorough
evaluation and approval of the CLIENT. In no event shall ATS be liable for the acts or
omissions of CLIENT's construction contractors, subcontractors or any persons or
entities performing any of the construction work, or for the failure of any of them to
carry out construction work under contracts with CLIENT.
(b) In order that ATS may be fully protected against such third party claims, CLIENT
agrees to obtain and maintain for the benefit of ATS the same indemnities and
insurance benefits obtained for the protection of the CLIENT from any contractor or
subcontractor working on the project and shall obtain from that
contractor/subcontractor insurance certificates evidencing ATS as an additional
named insured.

hereunder. Neither ATS nor its subcontractors, nor the employees of either, shall be deemed
to be the servants, employees, or agents of CLIENT.

XI. PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS
Page 5
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, title to, ownership of, legal responsibility and
liability for any and all pre-existing contamination shall at all times remain with CLIENT. "Pre-
existing contamination" is any hazardous or toxic substance present at the site or sites
concerned which was not brought onto such site or sites by ATS. CLIENT agrees to release,
defend, indemnify and hold ATS harmless from and against any and all liability which may in
any manner arise in any way directly or indirectly caused by such pre-existing contamination
except if such liability arises from ATS's sole negligence or willful misconduct.
CLIENT shall, at CLIENT's sole expense and risk, arrange for handling, storage,
transportation, treatment and delivery for disposal of pre-existing contamination. CLIENT shall
be solely responsible for obtaining a disposal site for such material. CLIENT shall look to the
disposal facility and/or transporter for any responsibility or liability arising from improper
disposal or transportation of such waste. ATS shall not have or exert any control over CLIENT
in CLIENT's obligations or responsibilities as a generator in the storage, transportation,
treatment or disposal of any pre-existing contamination. CLIENT shall complete and execute
any governmentally required forms relating to regulated activities including, but not limited to
generation, storage, handling, treatment, transportation, or disposal of pre-existing
contamination. In the event that ATS executes or completes any governmentally required
forms relating to regulated activities including but not limited to storage, generation, treatment,
transportation, handling or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials, ATS shall be and be
deemed to have acted as CLIENT's agent.
For ATS's Services requiring drilling, boring, excavation or soils sampling, CLIENT shall
approve selection of the contractors to perform such services, all site locations, and provide
ATS with all necessary information regarding the presence of underground hazards, utilities,
structures and conditions at the site.
XII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
CLIENT agrees that ATS's liability for the act, error or omission in its performance of services
under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the amount of the total compensation received
by ATS. It is intended by the parties to this Agreement that ATS's services in connection with
the project anticipated herein shall not subject ATS's individual employees, officers, or
directors to any personal legal exposure for the risks associated with this project.
XIII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If a dispute arises out of, or relates to, the breach of this Agreement and if the dispute cannot
be settled through negotiation, then ATS and the CLIENT agree to submit the dispute to
mediation. In the event ATS or the CLIENT desires to mediate any dispute, that party shall
notify the other party in writing of the dispute desired to be mediated. If the parties are unable
to resolve their differences within 10 days of the receipt of such notice, such dispute shall be
submitted for mediation in accordance with the procedures and rules of the American
Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) then in effect. The deadline for
submitting the dispute to mediation can be changed if the parties mutually agree in writing to
extend the time between receipt of notice and submission to mediation. The expenses of the
mediator shall be shared 50 percent by ATS and 50 percent by the CLIENT. This requirement
to seek mediation shall be a condition required before filing an action at law or in equity.
However, prior to or during the negotiations or the mediation either party may initiate litigation
that would otherwise be barred by a statute of limitations, and ATS may pursue any property
liens or other rights it may have to obtain security for the payment of its invoices.

foreign country on said list for use on the project, the FAA may direct through the Sponsor cancellation of
the contract at no cost to the Government.
Further, the Contractor agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate
this provision for certification without modification in each contract and in all lower tier subcontracts. The
Contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor unless it has knowledge that the
certification is erroneous.
The Contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the Sponsor if the Contractor learns that its
certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason
of changed circumstances. The subcontractor agrees to provide written notice to the Contractor if at any
time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making the
award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, the FAA may direct through the Sponsor cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default
at no cost to the Government.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in
order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information
of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the
ordinary course of business dealings.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America
and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution
under Title 18, U.S.C., Section 1001.
FEDERAL PROVISIONS REQUIRED FOR ALL NE CONTRACTS EXCEEDING $10,000
11 — TERMINATION OF CONTRACT
1. The Sponsor may, by written notice, terminate this Contract in whole or in part at any time, either
for the Sponsor's convenience or because of failure to fulfill the contract obligations. Upon receipt
of such notice, services must be immediately discontinued (unless the notice directs otherwise)
and all materials as may have been accumulated in performing this Contract, whether completed
or in progress, shall be delivered to the Sponsor.
2. If the termination is for the convenience of the Sponsor, an equitable adjustment in the contract
price will be made, but no amount will be allowed for anticipated profit on unperformed services.
3. If the termination is due to failure to fulfill the Contractor's obligations, the Sponsor may take over
the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise. In such case, the
Contractor is to be liable to the Sponsor for any additional cost occasioned to the Sponsor
thereby.
4. If, after notice of termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the
Contractor had not so failed, the termination will be deemed to have been effected for the
convenience of the Sponsor. In such event, adjustment in the contract price will be made as
provided in paragraph 2 of this clause.
5. The rights and remedies of the Sponsor provided in this clause are in addition to any other rights
and remedies provided by law or under this Contract.
FEDERAL PROVISIONS REQUIRED FOR ALL A/E CONTRACTS EXCEEDING $25,000
12 — CERTIFICATE REGARDING DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
By submitting a Contract for execution by the Sponsor, the Contractor certifies that at the time the
Contractor submits said Contract that neither it nor its principals are presently debarred or suspended by
any Federal department or agency from participation in this transaction.
Certification Regarding Debarment and Suspension (Contractor Regarding Lower Tier Participants)
The Contractor, by administering each lower tier subcontract that exceeds $25,000 as a "covered
transaction", must verify each lower tier participant of a "covered transaction" under the project is not
presently debarred or otherwise disqualified from participation in this federally assisted project. The
Contractor will accomplish this by:
1. Checking the System for Award Management at website: http://www.sam.gov.
2. Collecting a certification statement similar to the Certificate Regarding Debarment and
Suspension, above.
3. Inserting a clause or condition in the covered transaction with the lower tier contract.
If the FAA later determines that a lower tier participant failed to tell a higher tier that it was excluded or
disqualified at the time it entered the covered transaction, the FAA may pursue any available remedy,
including suspension and debarment.
FEDERAL PROVISIONS REQUIRED FOR ALL A/E CONTRACTS EXCEEDING $100,000
13 — BREACH OF CONTRACT TERMS
Any violation or breach of terms of this Contract on the part of the Contractor or its subcontractors may
result in the suspension or termination of this Contract or such other action that may be necessary to
enforce the rights of the parties of this agreement. The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract
Documents and the rights and remedies available thereunder are in addition to, and not a limitation of, any
duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.
14 — CLEAN AIR AND WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
Contractors and subcontractors agree:
1. That any facility to be used in the performance of the contract or subcontract or to benefit from the

requirements specified in Section 114 and Section 308 of the Acts, respectively, and all other
regulations and guidelines issued thereunder;
3. That, as a condition for the award of this Contract, the Contractor or subcontractor will notify the
awarding official of the receipt of any communication from the EPA indicating that a facility to be
used for the performance of or benefit from the contract is under consideration to be listed on the
EPA List of Violating Facilities;
4. To include or cause to be included in any construction contract or subcontract which exceeds
$100,000 the aforementioned criteria and requirements.
15 — CONTRACT WORKHOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT REQUIREMENTS
1. Overtime Requirements.
No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or
involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or
mechanic, including watchmen and guards, in any workweek in which he or she is employed on
such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic
receives compensation at a rate not Tess than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all
hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
2. Violation; Liability for Unpaid Wages; Liquidated Damages.
In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) above, the Contractor and any
subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such
Contractor and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under
contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated
damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or
mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in
paragraph 1 above, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was
required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment
of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph 1 above.
3. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages.
The FAA or the Sponsor shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any monies
payable on account of work performed by the Contractor or subcontractor under any such contract
or any other Federal contract with the same Contractor, or any other Federally-assisted contract
subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same
Contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such
contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause
set forth in paragraph 2 above.
4. Subcontractors.
The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in
paragraphs 1 through 4 and also a clause requiring the subcontractor to include these clauses in
any lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs 1 through 4 of
