Sycamore Street, Suite 222, Waterloo, Iowa, hereinafter referred to as "ATS" and City of Waterloo,
Waterloo Regional Airport, 2790 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.

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.

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

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

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 CLIENT's construction contractors.
Nor shall ATS be responsible for the supervision of CLIENT's 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.
X. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
ATS shall be an independent contractor with respect to the Services to be performed
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

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 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.

By submission of an offer, the Offeror certifies that with respect to this solicitation and any resultant
contract, the Offeror:
a) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of
countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States Trade
Representative (U.S.T.R.);
b) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is a
citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against
U.S. firms as published by the U.S.T.R; and
c) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal on the project that
is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S.
firms published by the U.S.T.R.
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, United States Code, Section 1001.
The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Offeror/Contractor
learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become
erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide
immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by
reason of changed circumstances.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49
CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor:
a) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on
the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the U.S.T.R. or
b) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign
country on such U.S.T.R. list or
c) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such U.S.T.R. list;
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.
The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this
provision for certification without modification in in all lower tier subcontracts. The contractor may rely on
the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the
list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by U.S.T.R, unless the Offeror has
knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an
award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct through the Owner cancellation of the contract
or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.
