CITY OF WATERLOO, IOWA AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT
FOR CONSTRUCTION REVIEW SERVICES
This Amendment for Construction Engineering services to the original Professional
Services Agreement dated 4//8/2019 is made and entered by and between Ament Design, 625
32nd Avenue SW, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, hereinafter referred to as "AMENT" and City of 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
AMENT 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. AMENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES
AMENT 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 AMENT
and with whom CLIENT may consult at all reasonable times, and whose instructions,
requests, and decisions will be binding upon AMENT as to all matters pertaining to
this Agreement and the performance of the parties hereunder. One of these
individuals Ament is assigned as Project Manager. Ament Project Manager for this
project is Michael G. Dryden, P.E.
(b) Use all reasonable efforts to complete the Services within the time period mutually
agreed upon, except for reasons beyond its control. Schedule shall be as defined in
Attachment B.
(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 AMENT's failure to meet these standards, AMENT
shall re -perform such substandard Services as may be necessary to remedy such
error at no cost to CLIENT. Since AMENT has no control over local conditions, the
cost of labor and materials, or over competitive bidding and market conditions,
AMENT does not guarantee the accuracy of any construction cost estimates as
compared to contractor's bids or the actual cost to the CLIENT. AMENT 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) AMENT shall, if requested in writing by CLIENT, for the protection of CLIENT, require
from all vendors and subcontractors from which AMENT 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. AMENT's liability with respect to such equipment,
and materials obtained from vendors or services from subcontractors, shall be limited
Page 88 of 141
to procuring guarantees from such vendors or subcontractors and rendering all
reasonable assistance to CLIENT for the purpose of enforcing the same.
(e) AMENT will be providing estimates of costs to the CLIENT covering an extended
period of time. AMENT 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 AMENT are estimates only, made on the basis of AMENT's experience and
represent AMENT's reasonable judgment as a qualified professional. AMENT does
not guaranty that proposals, bids or actual project costs will not vary from the opinions
of probable costs prepared by AMENT, and the CLIENT waives any and all claims
that it may have against AMENT as a result of any such variance.
1I1. 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 CLIENT's behalf on
all matters concerning the Services.
(b) Furnish to AMENT 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. AMENT shall be entitled to rely upon all such information, data and the

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 AMENT 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) AMENT 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 AMENT 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. Not
withstanding Ament's responsibility under the Scope of Services, in no event shall
AMENT 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.

liability for any and all pre-existing contamination shall at all times remain with CLIENT.
"Preexisting contamination" is any hazardous or toxic substance present at the site or sites
concerned which was not brought onto such site or sites by AMENT. CLIENT agrees to
release, defend, indemnify and hold AMENT 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 AMENT'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. AMENT 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

AMENT with all necessary information regarding the presence of underground hazards,
utilities, structures and conditions at the site.
XII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
CLIENT agrees that AMENT'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 AMENT. It is intended by the parties to this Agreement that AMENT's services
in connection with the project anticipated herein shall not subject AMENT'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 AMENT and the CLIENT agree to submit the dispute to
mediation. In the event AMENT 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 AMENT 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
Page 92 of 141
litigation that would otherwise be barred by a statute of limitations, and AMENT may pursue
any property liens or other rights it may have to obtain security for the payment of its invoices.

proposed improvement. The following provides a description of the tasks to be performed and
identification of the proposed work.
I. Construction -Related Services
Construction Phase Services are assumed based upon a construction contract with a length of thirty-five
(35) working days.
A. Construction Surveys — This task includes the provision of horizontal and vertical field survey control
in sufficient quantity, as necessary, to construct the project. This task also includes office
calculations and the provision of field survey construction offsets and elevation staking, as needed by
the Contractor, to construct the Project improvements. Project elements to be staked and/or checked
include;

grade staking will be required.);
3. storm sewer structures / adjustments / pipe and box culvert bends;
4. traffic signal poles and controller cabinet bases and handholes;
5. paving;
6. pedestrian ramps; and
7. right-of-way and temporary construction easement boundaries.
This task also includes checking the constructed pedestrian ramps for compliance with design
requirements.
B. The ENGINEER shall perform construction administration for the OWNER during the Construction
Phase of the Project. The ENGINEER shall perform nearly full-time construction observation for the
OWNER during the Construction Phase of the Project.
1. General Administration of Construction Contract — Consult with OWNER and act as OWNER's
representative. The extent and limitations of the duties, responsibilities and authority of
ENGINEER as assigned shall not be modified, except as ENGINEER may otherwise agree in
writing. All of OWNER's instructions to Contractor will be issued through ENGINEER, who shall
have authority to act on behalf of OWNER in dealings with Contractor to the extent provided in
this Agreement except as otherwise provided in writing.
2. Resident Project Representative (RPR) — Provide the services of an RPR at the Site to assist the
ENGINEER and to provide more extensive observation of Contractor's work. Duties,
responsibilities, and authority of the RPR are as set forth in Attachment I. The furnishing of such
RPR's services will not extend ENGINEER's responsibilities or authority beyond the specific limits
set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. Pre -Construction Conference — Participate in a Pre -Construction Conference prior to
commencement of Work at the Site.
4. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction — In connection with observations of Contractor's
work in progress while it is in progress:
a. Make visits to the Site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction, as
ENGINEER deems necessary, in order to observe as an experienced and qualified design
professional the progress and quality of the Work. Such visits and observations by
Page 95 of 141
West Ridgeway Avenue at Greyhound Drive
Traffic Safety Improvements
July 14, 2020
ENGINEER, and the Resident Project Representative, if any, are not intended to be
exhaustive or to extend to every aspect of Contractor's work in progress or to involve detailed
inspections of Contractor's work in progress beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned
to ENGINEER in this Agreement and the Contract Documents, but rather are to be limited to
spot checking, selective sampling, and similar methods of general observation of the Work
based on ENGINEER's exercise of professional judgment as assisted by the Resident Project
Representative, if any. Based on information obtained during such visits and such
observations, ENGINEER will determine, in general, if Contractor's work is proceeding in
accordance with the Contract Documents, and ENGINEER shall keep OWNER informed of
the progress of the Work.
b. The purpose of ENGINEER's visits to, and representation by the Resident Project
Representative, if any, at the Site, will be to enable ENGINEER to better carry out the duties
and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by ENGINEER during the Construction
Phase, and, in addition, by the exercise of ENGINEER's efforts as an experienced and
qualified design professional, to provide for OWNER a greater degree of confidence that the
completed Work will conform in general to the Contract Documents and that the integrity of
the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the
Contract Documents has been implemented and preserved by Contractor. ENGINEER shall
not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's work in progress,
supervise, direct, or have control over Contractor's work, nor shall ENGINEER have authority
over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of
construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and programs incident to
Contractor's work, or for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations
applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the Work. Accordingly, ENGINEER
neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any
Contractor's failure to furnish and perform its work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
5. Defective Work — Recommend to OWNER that Contractor's work be disapproved and rejected
while it is in progress if, on the basis of such observations, ENGINEER believes that such work
will not produce a completed Project that conforms generally to the Contract Documents or that it
will prejudice the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole
as indicated in the Contract Documents.
6. Clarifications and Interpretations; Field Orders — Issue necessary clarifications and interpretations
of the Contract Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of Contractor's work. Such
clarifications and interpretations will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from
the Contract Documents. ENGINEER may issue Field Orders authorizing minor variations from
the requirements of the Contract Documents.
7. Change Orders and Work Change Directives — Recommend Change Orders and Work Change
Directives to OWNER, as appropriate, and prepare Change Orders and Work Change Directives
as required.
8. Shop Drawings and Samples — Review and approve or take other appropriate action in respect to
Shop Drawings and Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit, but only for
conformance with the information given in the Contract Documents and compatibility with the
design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract
Documents. Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction or to safety precautions and programs
Page 96 of 141
West Ridgeway Avenue at Greyhound Drive
Traffic Safety Improvements
July 14, 2020
incident thereto. 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
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).
b. 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
Page 97 of 141

Traffic Safety Improvements
July 14, 2020
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. Contractor's Completion Documents.
a. Receive and review maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, and guarantees.
b. Receive bonds, certificates, or other evidence of insurance not previously submitted and
required by the Contract Documents, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, Shop
Drawings, Samples and other data approved, and the annotated record documents which are
to be assembled by Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents to obtain final
payment.
c. ENGINEER shall transmit these documents to OWNER.
14. Substantial Completion — Promptly after notice from Contractor that Contractor considers the
entire Work ready for its intended use, in company with OWNER and Contractor, conduct an
inspection to determine if the Work is Substantially Complete. If after considering any objections
of OWNER, ENGINEER considers the Work Substantially Complete, ENGINEER shall deliver a
certificate of Substantial Completion to OWNER and Contractor.
15. Additional Tasks. Perform or provide the following additional Construction Phase tasks or
deliverables:
a. Attend weekly (or bi-monthly, if appropriate) progress meetings with Contractor and prepare
and circulate copies of minutes.
b. Perform weekly inspections of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan elements furnished,
installed, and maintained by Contractor, such as silt fence, inlet protection devices, etc.

upon completion of construction.
16. Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work — Conduct a final inspection to determine if the
completed Work of Contractor is acceptable so that ENGINEER may recommend, in writing, final
payment to Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, ENGINEER shall
also provide a notice that the Work is acceptable to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge,
information, and belief and based on the extent of the services provided by ENGINEER under this
Agreement.
C. Duration of Construction Phase — The Construction Phase will commence with the execution of the
first Construction Agreement for the Project or any part thereof and will terminate upon written
recommendation by ENGINEER for final payment to Contractors. If the Project involves more than
one prime contract, Construction Phase services may be rendered at different times in respect to the
separate contracts.
D. Limitation of ENGINEER's Authority and Responsibilities — Neither ENGINEER's authority or respon-
sibility under this Agreement or under any other provision of the Contract Documents nor any
decision made by ENGINEER in good faith either to exercise or not exercise such authority or
responsibility or the undertaking, exercise, or performance of any authority or responsibility by
ENGINEER shall create, impose, or give rise to any duty in contract, tort, or otherwise owed by
ENGINEER to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or entity, or to
any surety for or employee or agent of any of them.
ENGINEER shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any Contractor, or of any of their
subcontractors, suppliers, or of any other individual or entity performing or furnishing any of the Work.
