ENGINEER has an obligation to meet any Contractor's submittal schedule that has earlier been acceptable to ENGINEER. 9. Substitutes and "or -equal." — Evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or "or - equal" materials and equipment proposed by Contractor. 10. Inspections and Tests — Require such special inspections or tests of Contractor's work as deemed reasonably necessary, and receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals required by Laws and Regulations or the Contract Documents. ENGINEER's review of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents and will not constitute an independent evaluation that the content or procedures of such inspections, tests, or approvals comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. ENGINEER shall be entitled to rely on the results of such tests. 11. Disagreements between OWNER and Contractor — Render formal written decisions on all claims of OWNER and Contractor relating to the acceptability of Contractor's work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the execution and progress of Contractor's work. In rendering such decisions, ENGINEER shall be fair and not show partiality to OWNER or Contractor and shall not be liable in connection with any decision rendered in good faith in such capacity. 12. Applications for Payment — Based on ENGINEER's observations as an experienced and qualified design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and accompanying supporting documentation: a. Determine the amounts that ENGINEER recommends Contractor be paid. Such recommendations of payment will be in writing and will constitute ENGINEER's representation to OWNER, based on such observations and review, that, to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief, Contractor's work has progressed to the point indicated, the quality of such work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation), and the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to such payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is ENGINEER's Page 8 of 26 responsibility to observe Contractor's work. In the case of unit price work, ENGINEER's recommendations of payment will include final determinations of quantities and classifications of Contractor's work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents). By recommending any payment, ENGINEER shall not thereby be deemed to have represented that observations made by ENGINEER to check the quality or quantity of Contractor's work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of Contractor's work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in this Agreement and the Contract Documents. Neither ENGINEER's review of Contractor's work for the purposes of recommending payments nor ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment including final payment will impose on ENGINEER responsibility to supervise, direct, or control Contractor's work in progress or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or safety precautions or programs incident thereto, or Contractor's compliance with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the Work. It will also not impose responsibility on ENGINEER to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or to determine that title to any portion of the work in progress, materials, or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances, or that there may not be other matters at issue between OWNER and Contractor that might affect the amount that should be paid. 13.

Page 12 of 26 ATTACHMENT C (referenced from 3.1) Fixed Overhead Rate 3.1.1 FEES AND PAYMENTS 3.1.1.1 Fees. For full and complete compensation of all work, materials, and services furnished under the terms of this Agreement, the Consultant shall be paid fees in the amounts of the Consultant's actual cost plus applicable fixed fee amount. The Consultant's actual costs shall include payments to any subconsultants. The estimated actual costs and fixed fee are shown below and are itemized in Attachment C-1. Subconsultant costs are not available for use by the prime Consultant or other subconsultants. A contingency amount has been established to provide for actual costs that exceed those estimated. Estimated Actual Costs (Prime only) $ 46,938.00 Fixed Fee (Prime only) $ 6,888.00 Contingency (Prime only) $ 4,694.00 Total Prime Consultant Costs $ 58,520.00 Communications Engineering Company $ 6,580.00 Total Subconsultant Costs $ 6,580.00 Maximum Amount Payable $ 65,100.00 The nature of engineering services is such that actual costs are not completely determinate. Therefore, the Consultant shall establish a procedure for comparing the actual costs incurred during the performance of the work to the estimated actual costs listed above. The procedure will itemize prime consultant and subconsultant costs in association with each scoped task. The purpose is to monitor these two elements and thus provide for early identification of any potential for the actual costs exceeding the estimated actual costs. The procedure shall be used in a way that will allow enough lead time to execute the paragraphs below without interrupting the work schedule. Therefore, once the accrued labor costs for a scoped task reach 85% of the estimated value for the prime or subconsultant, then the Consultant shall notify the Owner in writing. It is possible that the Consultant's costs for the scoped tasks may need to exceed those shown in Attachment C-1. The Consultant's and subconsultants' costs for scoped tasks shall not be exceeded without prior written authorization from the Contract Administrator and concurrence from the Iowa DOT. Costs for scoped tasks that exceed estimated costs, if approved by the Contract Administrator, may be compensated via Supplemental Agreement, Work Order, Amendment, or Contingency as detailed in the paragraphs below. If the Consultant exceeds the estimated costs for scoped tasks for any reason (other than that covered in Section 3.1.1.2) before the Contract Administrator is notified in writing, the Owner will have the right, at its discretion, to deny compensation for that amount. The fixed fee amount will not be changed unless there is a substantial reduction or increase in scope, character, or complexity of the services covered by this Agreement or the time schedule is changed by the Owner. The adjustment to fixed fee will consider both cumulative and aggregate changes in scope, character, or complexity of the services. Any change in the fixed fee amount will be made by a Supplemental Agreement, Work Order, or Amendment. If a contingency has been established and at any time during the work the Consultant determines that its actual costs will exceed the estimated actual costs, thus necessitating the use of a contingency amount, it will promptly so notify the Contract Administrator in writing and describe what costs are causing the overrun and the reason. The Consultant shall not exceed the estimated actual costs without the prior written approval of the Contract Administrator and concurrence of the Iowa DOT. The Owner or the Iowa DOT may audit the Consultant's cost records prior to authorizing the use of a contingency amount. The maximum amount payable will not be changed except for a change in the scope. If at any time it is determined that a maximum amount payable will be or has been exceeded, the Consultant shall immediately so notify the Contract Administrator in writing. The maximum amount payable shall be changed by a Supplemental Agreement, Work Order, or Amendment, or this Agreement will be terminated Page 13 of 26 as identified in Article 4.12.3. The Owner may audit the Consultant's cost records prior to making a decision whether or not to increase the maximum amount payable. 3.1.1.2 Reimbursable Costs. Reimbursable costs are the actual costs incurred by the Consultantwhich are attributable to the specific work covered by this Agreement and allowable under the provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 48, Federal Acquisition Regulations System, Subchapter E., Part 30 (when applicable), and Part 31, Section 31.105 and Subpart 31.2. In addition to Title 48 requirements, for meals to be eligible for reimbursement, an overnight stay will be required. The Title 48 requirements include the following: 1. Salaries of the employees for time directly chargeable to work covered by the Agreement, and salaries of principals for time they are productively engaged in work necessary to fulfill the terms of the Agreement. 2. Direct non -salary costs incurred in fulfilling the terms of this Agreement. The Consultant will be required to submit a detailed listing of direct non -salary costs incurred and certify that such costs are not included in overhead expense pool. These costs may include travel and subsistence, reproductions, computer charges and materials and supplies. 3. The indirect costs (salary -related expenses and general overhead costs) to the extent that they are properly allowable to the work covered by this Agreement. The Consultant has submitted to the Owner the following indirect costs as percentages of direct salary costs to be used for the duration of the contract: Salary -related expenses are 100% of direct salary costs and general overhead costs are 185.94% of direct salary costs, for a composite rate of 285.94%. 3.1.1.3 Premium Overtime Pay. Premium overtime pay (pay over normal hourly pay) will not be allowed without written authorization from the Contract Administrator. If allowed, premium overtime pay shall not exceed 2 percent of the total direct salary cost without written authorization from the Contract Administrator. 3.1.1.4 Payments. Monthly payments shall be made based on the work completed and substantiated by monthly progress reports. The report shall indicate the direct and indirect costs associated with the work completed during the month. The Contract Administrator will check such progress reports and payment will be made for the direct non -salary costs and salary and indirect costs during said month, plus a portion of the fixed fee. The Owner shall retain from each monthly payment for construction inspection or construction administration services 3 % of the amount due. Fixed fee will be calculated and progressively invoiced based on actual costs incurred for the current billing cycle. Each invoice shall be accompanied with a monthly progress report which details the tasks invoiced, estimated tasks to be billed on the next invoice, and any other contract tracking information. Invoices shall clearly identify the beginning and ending dates of the prime's and subconsultant's billing cycles. All direct and indirect costs incurred during the billing cycle shall be invoiced. Costs incurred from prior billing cycles and previously not billed, will not be allowed for reimbursement unless approved by the Contract Administrator. Upon delivery and acceptance of all work contemplated under this Agreement, the Consultant shall submit one complete invoice statement of costs incurred and amounts earned. Payment of 100% of the total cost claimed, inclusive of retainage, if applicable, will be made upon receipt and review of such claim. Final audit will determine correctness of all invoiced costs and final payment will be based upon this audit.
