A. The ENGINEER shall subrnit 10 the OWNER an opinion ofthe prohahle costrequired to
construct work reconlmended. designed. or specified by the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER is
not a construction cost estimator or construction contractor. nor should the ENGINEER's act of
rendering an opinion of probable construction costs be considered equivalent to the nature and
extent of service a construction cost estimator or construction contractor would provide. The
ENGINEER's opinion will be based solely upon its own experience with construction. This
requires the ENGINEER to make a number of assurnptions as 10 actual conditions tliat will be
encountered on site: the specific decisions o/other design professionals engaged; the means and
methods ofconstruction the contractor wilt ernploy; the cost and extent oflahor. equipment and
materials the contractor will employ: contractor's techniques in determining prices and market
conditions at the time. and other factors over which the ENGINEER has no control. Given the
DCN: C0N-0*-3A0-K3
AGREEMENT (Cont.)
assumptions which must be made, the ENGINEER cannot guarantee the accuracy of its
opinions of cost, and, in recognition of that fact, the OWNER waives any claim against the
ENGINEER relative to the accuracy of the ENGINEER's opinion of probable construction cost.

E. C:ertification
During the course ofconstruction. the ENGINEER may be called upon to determine the degree to
which certain design conditions have been achieved by contractors. |nperformance o(this work.
the ENGINEER will use sampling procedures, that is, selected portions o[the work will be
subject to close review and/or testing and the results observed will be inferred to exist in other
areas not sampled. Although such sampting procedures shalt be conducted by the ENGINEER in
accordance with commonly accepted procedures consistent with applicable standards ofpractice.
the OWNER understands that such procedures indicate actual conditions only where sampling is
performed, and that' despite proper implementation ofsarnpting and/or testing procedures. and
despite proper interpretation of their results, the ENGINEER cannot assure the existence of
conditions vhich the ENGINEER infers to exist. Sinucaccrti6cadoo/hu/cenuincondihnns
exist comprises an assurance of such conditions' existence, the OWNER agrees that it would be
improper f'or the ENGtNEER to certifv that certain conditions eist then the ENGINEER cannot
assure they exist. Accordingly, the OWNER shall not require the ENGINEER to sign any
ccnifiumion, no malter by vhom rcqucxod, that would result in the ENGINEER certifying the
existence ofconditions whose existence the ENGINEER cannot assure. The OWNER also agrees
that the OWNER shall not make resolution o[any dispute with the ENGINEER or pa)ment of
any amount due to the ENGINEER in any way contingent upon the ENGINEER's certifying the
existence ofconditions whose existence the ENGINEER cannot assure.

F. Buried Utilities and Subsurface Risks
The ENGNEER will conduct the research thain ts professional opinion is necessar to locate
utility lines and other man-made objects that may exist beneath the site's surface. The OWNER
recognizes that the ENGJNEERs research may not identify all subsurface utility lines and man-
made objects, and that the
un'madcobjech,undtha\the information upon which the ENGINEER relies may contain errors or
may not be complete. The ENGINEER will prepare a plan indicating the locations intended for
subsurface penetrations with respect to assumed locations of utilities and other man-made objects
beneath the site's surface.
The OWNER witi approve the Iocation ofthese penetrations prior to their being nade and the
OWNER will authorize the ENGINEER to proceed. The OWNER agrees to waive any claim
against the ENGINEER and to defend, indemnify and hold the ENGINEER harmless from any
claim or liability for injury or Ioss allegediy arising from the 2NG|N2ER'sdamuging
underground utilities or other man-made objects that were not called to the ENGINEER's
attention or which were not properly located on plans furnished to the ENGINEER for any time
spent or expenses incurred by the ENGINEER in defense of any such claim, in accordance with
the ENGINEER'* prevaiing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy.
The OWNER recogllizes that special risks occur whenever engineering or related disciplines are
applied to identify subsurface conditions. Even a comprehensive sampling and testing program.
implemented with the appropriate equipment and experienced personnel under the direction of
trained professional who functions in accordance with a professional standard of practice may fail
to detect certain conditions. because they are hiddeii aiid therefore cannot be considered in
development o[asubsurface exploration program. For similar reasons. actual environmentat.
geologic and geotechnical conditions that the ENGINEER properly inferred to exist between
samp!ing points may differ significantly from those that actuallv exisi. The passage oUtime also
must be considered, and the OWNER recognizes that, because of natural occurrences or direct or
indirect human intervention at the site or a distance from it. actual conditions discovered may
quickly change. The OWNER realizes that nothing can be done to elirninate these risks
u\togethcr, but certain techniques can be applied to help reduce them. The ENGINEER is
availahle to explain these risks and risk reduction methods to the OWNER but. in any event. the
scope n[services included with this AGREEMENT is that which the OWNER agreed to or
selected in light ofhis or her own risk preferences and other considerations.

Dear Mr. Hoambrecker:
Attachment A
t•vww.rjn ,om
RJN Group, Inc. (RJN) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Waterloo (City) for the
inspection, analysis, and rehabilitation recommendations for manholes in the City's interceptor
sewer system.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
The City of Waterloo experiences high wet -weather flows during rain events and periods of high river
levels. As such, the City has entered into an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for a Consent Decree settlement. As a part of this, and an ongoing effort to reduce the flow
entering the system during rain events and high river levels, the City has determined it is important
to investigate on the interceptors near the Cedar River. As an initial step in this process, the City
would like to inspect the 65 manholes on these interceptors inspected. As an option, an additional
47 manholes within the 100 -year floodplain inspected, should it be deemed desirable by the City.
A manhole inspection program can provide many benefits to the City including mapping updates,
identification of inflow and infiltration, confirmation of connecting pipes, detection of structural
problems in need of rehabilitation, and photographs of the structures. This inspection will start his
process by conducting full -descent confined space entry inspections to provide a full assessment of
the structures, including looking for holes, infiltration and inflow (1/I) defects, and structural
concerns. This process will also improve the mapping and connectivity of these interceptors to make
the multi -sensor pipe inspections project more successful and easier to complete.
This project will provide detailed inspection reports and provide recommendations for
rehabilitation, as necessary. The manholes to be inspected are shown on the attached exhibit. Should
a confined space entry not be possible to be completed on a certain structure, surface inspections will
be completed, as possible.

Manhole Inspections and Recommendations
February 15, 2019
Full descent inspections are typically completed on deep or complex structures where visibility is
limited or where a comprehensive inspection is critical. Inspections include a confined space entry
inspection of the manhole to identify frame and lid, wall, bench, and trough defects and other
structural defects in the manhole. Manhole and pipe sizes and inverts will be measured and
numerous photographs documenting the manhole condition.
It is expected that full -descent inspections will be completed on all located manholes. In the event
that a full -descent inspection is not possible, a surface inspection will be performed.
Surface inspections include an inspection of the manhole from the ground surface to identify frame
and lid defects and other structural defects in the manhole. Manhole and pipe sizes and inverts will
also be estimated where accessible in addition to numerous photographs documenting the manhole
condition.
At this time, surface inspections are not expected to be completed on any structures. Should a
manhole structure be unable to be entered for descent, a surface inspection will be completed.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
Complete approximately 65 manhole inspections in Phase 1, and if desired an additional 47 manhole
inspections in Phase 2 as per the attached scope of services. Following Phase 1, discuss progress with
the City and determine if Phase 2 is desired.
1. Provide project management services throughout the project including one project meeting.
2. Summary memo outlining findings as per the attached scope of services and including:
a. Summary of work completed and the results from the manhole inspections;
b. Exhibits including maps of inspection locations and defects;
c. Recommendations for rehabilitation based on investigation results; and
d. Recommendations for future studies and/or rehabilitation construction packages.
3. Provide pdf of draft memo for City review.
4. Finalize report with City comments. Provide a digital copy of the final report with data, GIS
geodatabases, and photographs. Provide up to three hard copies of the final report, if desired.
ITEMS REQUESTED FROM CITY
We request the following items from the City:
1. Updated GIS geodatabases and/or shape files for the collection system.
2. Access to manholes for inspection work. Assistance locating manholes or opening and
uncovering seized and buried manholes as required.

3. Traffic control assistance as necessary for high traffic areas.
SCHEDULE
RJN is prepared to begin work on this project upon contract approval. Phase 1 field work will be
completed within nine weeks of an agreement, weather permitting. Phase 2 field work will be
cotnpleted within six weeks of the City's request. Reporting and GIS deliverables will be completed
within five weeks following all field work completion.
PROPOSED FEE
This scope of services will be invoiced on a unit price and percent complete basis for a total cost of
$19,955.00. The City reserves the right to remove the manholes in Phase 2 from the overall scope
of the project, should only Phase 1 inspections be desired. Should this occur, the total cost will be
reduced by $5,405 to $14,550. The fee is summarized in the following table.
