AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES
This AGREEMENT is between City of Waterloo IA ("Client") and Terracon Consultants, Inc. ("Consultant") for Services to be provided by Consultant for
Client on the Sanitary Sewer Extension project ("Project"), as described in Consultant's Proposal dated 07/22/2022 ("Proposal"), including but not limited to
the Project Information section, unless the Project is otherwise described in Exhibit A to this Agreement (which section or Exhibit is incorporated into this
Agreement).
1. Scope of Services. The scope of Consultant's services is described in the Proposal, including but not limited to the Scope of Services section
("Services"), unless Services are otherwise described in Exhibit B to this Agreement (which section or exhibit is incorporated into this Agreement).
Portions of the Services may be subcontracted. Consultant's Services do not include the investigation or detection of, nor do recommendations in
Consultant's reports address the presence or prevention of biological pollutants (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria, viruses, or their byproducts) or occupant
safety issues, such as vulnerability to natural disasters, terrorism, or violence. If Services include purchase of software, Client will execute a separate
software license agreement. Consultant's findings, opinions, and recommendations are based solely upon data and information obtained by and
furnished to Consultant at the time of the Services.
2 Acceptance/ Termination. Client agrees that execution of this Agreement is a material element of the consideration Consultant requires to
execute the Services, and if Services are initiated by Consultant prior to execution of this Agreement as an accommodation for Client at Client's
request, both parties shall consider that commencement of Services constitutes formal acceptance of all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Additional terms and conditions may be added or changed only by written amendment to this Agreement signed by both parties. In the event Client
uses a purchase order or other form to administer this Agreement, the use of such form shall be for convenience purposes only and any additional or
conflicting terms it contains are stricken. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without prior written consent of the other party. Either
party may terminate this Agreement or the Services upon written notice to the other. In such case, Consultant shall be paid costs incurred and fees
earned to the date of termination plus reasonable costs of closing the Project.
3 Change Orders. Client may request changes to the scope of Services by altering or adding to the Services to be performed. If Client so requests,
Consultant will return to Client a statement (or supplemental proposal) of the change setting forth an adjustment to the Services and fees for the
requested changes. Following Client's review, Client shall provide written acceptance. If Client does not follow these procedures, but instead directs,
authorizes, or permits Consultant to perform changed or additional work, the Services are changed accordingly and Consultant will be paid for this work
according to the fees stated or its current fee schedule. If project conditions change materially from those observed at the site or described to
Consultant at the time of proposal, Consultant is entitled to a change order equitably adjusting its Services and fee.
4 Compensation and Terms of Payment. Client shall pay compensation for the Services performed at the fees stated in the Proposal, including
but not limited to the Compensation section, unless fees are otherwise stated in Exhibit C to this Agreement (which section or Exhibit is incorporated
into this Agreement). If not stated in either, fees will be according to Consultant's current fee schedule. Fee schedules are valid for the calendar year in
which they are issued. Fees do not include sales tax. Client will pay applicable sales tax as required by law. Consultant may invoice Client at least
monthly and payment is due upon receipt of invoice. Client shall notify Consultant in writing, at the address below, within 15 days of the date of the
invoice if Client objects to any portion of the charges on the invoice, and shall promptly pay the undisputed portion. Client shall pay a finance fee of
1.5% per month, but not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, for all unpaid amounts 30 days or older. Client agrees to pay all collection -related
costs that Consultant incurs, including attorney fees. Consultant may suspend Services for lack of timely payment. It is the responsibility of Client to
determine whether federal, state, or local prevailing wage requirements apply and to notify Consultant if prevailing wages apply. If it is later determined
that prevailing wages apply, and Consultant was not previously notified by Client, Client agrees to pay the prevailing wage from that point forward, as
well as a retroactive payment adjustment to bring previously paid amounts in line with prevailing wages. Client also agrees to defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless Consultant from any alleged violations made by any governmental agency regulating prevailing wage activity for failing to pay prevailing
wages, including the payment of any fines or penalties.
5. Third Party Reliance. This Agreement and the Services provided are for Consultant and Client's sole benefit and exclusive use with no third party
beneficiaries intended. Reliance upon the Services and any work product is limited to Client, and is not intended for third parties other than those who
have executed Consultant's reliance agreement, subject to the prior approval of Consultant and Client.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. CLIENT AND CONSULTANT HAVE EVALUATED THE RISKS AND REWARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
PROJECT, INCLUDING CONSULTANT'S FEE RELATIVE TO THE RISKS ASSUMED, AND AGREE TO ALLOCATE CERTAIN OF THE
ASSOCIATED RISKS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF CONSULTANT (AND ITS
RELATED CORPORATIONS AND EMPLOYEES) TO CLIENT AND THIRD PARTIES GRANTED RELIANCE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF
$50,000 OR CONSULTANT'S FEE, FOR ANY AND ALL INJURIES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY
AND EXPERT FEES) ARISING OUT OF CONSULTANT'S SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT. PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT
AND UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM CLIENT, CONSULTANT MAY NEGOTIATE A HIGHER LIMITATION FOR ADDITIONAL
CONSIDERATION IN THE FORM OF A SURCHARGE TO BE ADDED TO THE AMOUNT STATED IN THE COMPENSATION SECTION OF THE
PROPOSAL. THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF AVAILABLE PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE,
CAUSE(S), OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, INDEMNITY, OR OTHER RECOVERY. THIS LIMITATION SHALL NOT
APPLY TO THE EXTENT THE DAMAGE IS PAID UNDER CONSULTANT'S COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY POLICY.
7 Indemnity/Statute of Limitations. Consultant and Client shall indemnify and hold harmless the other and their respective employees from and
against legal liability for claims, losses, damages, and expenses to the extent such claims, losses, damages, or expenses are legally determined to be
caused by their negligent acts, errors, or omissions. In the event such claims, losses, damages, or expenses are legally determined to be caused by the
joint or concurrent negligence of Consultant and Client, they shall be borne by each party in proportion to its own negligence under comparative fault
principles. Neither party shall have a duty to defend the other party, and no duty to defend is hereby created by this indemnity provision and such duty
is explicitly waived under this Agreement. Causes of action arising out of Consultant's Services or this Agreement regardless of cause(s) or the theory
of liability, including negligence, indemnity or other recovery shall be deemed to have accrued and the applicable statute of limitations shall commence
to run not later than the date of Consultant's substantial completion of Services on the project.
8. Warranty. Consultant will perform the Services in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the
profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the same locale. EXCEPT FOR THE STANDARD OF CARE PREVIOUSLY STATED,
CONSULTANT MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO CONSULTANT'S SERVICES AND
CONSULTANT DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR WARRANTIES IMPOSED BY LAW, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
9. Insurance. Consultant represents that it now carries, and will continue to carry: (i) workers' compensation insurance in accordance with the laws of
the states having jurisdiction over Consultant's employees who are engaged in the Services, and employer's liability insurance ($1,000,000); (ii)
commercial general liability insurance ($2,000,000 occ / $4,000,000 agg); (iii) automobile liability insurance ($2,000,000 B.I. and P.D. combined single

Ferracon
Reference Number: P13225059
shall waive subrogation against the other party on all general liability and property coverage. Client is additional insured with respect to general and
auto liability.
10. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE; LOSS OF
USE OR OPPORTUNITY; LOSS OF GOOD WILL; COST OF SUBSTITUTE FACILITIES, GOODS, OR SERVICES; COST OF CAPITAL; OR FOR
ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.
11. Dispute Resolution. Client shall not be entitled to assert a Claim against Consultant based on any theory of professional negligence unless and
until Client has obtained the written opinion from a registered, independent, and reputable engineer, architect, or geologist that Consultant has violated
the standard of care applicable to Consultant's performance of the Services. Client shall provide this opinion to Consultant and the parties shall
endeavor to resolve the dispute within 30 days, after which Client may pursue its remedies at law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
according to Iowa law.
12. Subsurface Explorations. Subsurface conditions throughout the site may vary from those depicted on logs of discrete borings, test pits, or other
exploratory services. Client understands Consultant's layout of boring and test locations is approximate and that Consultant may deviate a reasonable
distance from those locations. Consultant will take reasonable precautions to reduce damage to the site when performing Services; however, Client
accepts that invasive services such as drilling or sampling may damage or alter the site. Site restoration is not provided unless specifically included in
the Services.
13. Testing and Observations. Client understands that testing and observation are discrete sampling procedures, and that such procedures indicate
conditions only at the depths, locations, and times the procedures were performed. Consultant will provide test results and opinions based on tests and
field observations only for the work tested. Client understands that testing and observation are not continuous or exhaustive, and are conducted to
reduce - not eliminate - project risk. Client shall cause all tests and inspections of the site, materials, and Services performed by Consultant to be timely
and properly scheduled in order for the Services to be performed in accordance with the plans, specifications, contract documents, and Consultant's
recommendations. No claims for loss or damage or injury shall be brought against Consultant by Client or any third party unless all tests and
inspections have been so performed and Consultant's recommendations have been followed. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client assumes
sole responsibility for determining whether the quantity and the nature of Services ordered by Client is adequate and sufficient for Client's intended
purpose. Client is responsible (even if delegated to contractor) for requesting services, and notifying and scheduling Consultant so Consultant can
perform these Services. Consultant is not responsible for damages caused by Services not performed due to a failure to request or schedule
Consultant's Services. Consultant shall not be responsible for the quality and completeness of Client's contractor's work or their adherence to the
project documents, and Consultant's performance of testing and observation services shall not relieve Client's contractor in any way from its
responsibility for defects discovered in its work, or create a warranty or guarantee. Consultant will not supervise or direct the work performed by Client's
contractor or its subcontractors and is not responsible for their means and methods. The extension of unit prices with quantities to establish a total
estimated cost does not guarantee a maximum cost to complete the Services. The quantities, when given, are estimates based on contract documents
and schedules made available at the time of the Proposal. Since schedule, performance, production, and charges are directed and/or controlled by
others, any quantity extensions must be considered as estimated and not a guarantee of maximum cost.
14. Sample Disposition, Affected Materials, and Indemnity. Samples are consumed in testing or disposed of upon completion of the testing
procedures (unless stated otherwise in the Services). Client shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Consultant all documents and information known
or available to Client that relate to the identity, location, quantity, nature, or characteristic of any hazardous waste, toxic, radioactive, or contaminated
materials ("Affected Materials") at or near the site, and shall immediately transmit new, updated, or revised information as it becomes available. Client
agrees that Consultant is not responsible for the disposition of Affected Materials unless specifically provided in the Services, and that Client is
responsible for directing such disposition. In no event shall Consultant be required to sign a hazardous waste manifest or take title to any Affected
Materials. Client shall have the obligation to make all spill or release notifications to appropriate governmental agencies. The Client agrees that
Consultant neither created nor contributed to the creation or existence of any Affected Materials conditions at the site and Consultant shall not be responsible
for any claims, losses, or damages allegedly arising out of Consultants performance of Services hereunder, or for any claims against Consultant as a
generator, disposer, or arranger of Affected Materials under federal, state, or local law or ordinance.
15. Ownership of Documents. Work product, such as reports, logs, data, notes, or calculations, prepared by Consultant shall remain Consultant's
property. Proprietary concepts, systems, and ideas developed during performance of the Services shall remain the sole property of Consultant. Files
shall be maintained in general accordance with Consultant's document retention policies and practices.
16. Utilities. Unless otherwise stated in the Proposal, Client shall provide the location and/or arrange for the marking of private utilities and subterranean
structures. Consultant shall take reasonable precautions to avoid damage or injury to subterranean structures or utilities. Consultant shall not be
responsible for damage to subterranean structures or utilities that are not called to Consultant's attention, are not correctly marked, including by a utility
locate service, or are incorrectly shown on the plans furnished to Consultant.
17. Site Access and Safety. Client shall secure all necessary site related approvals, permits, licenses, and consents necessary to commence and
complete the Services and will execute any necessary site access agreement. Consultant will be responsible for supervision and site safety measures
for its own employees, but shall not be responsible for the supervision or health and safety precautions for any other parties, including Client, Client's
contractors, subcontractors, or other parties present at the site. In addition, Consultant retains the right to stop work without penalty at any time
Consultant believes it is in the best interests of Consultant's employees or subcontractors to do so in order to reduce the risk of exposure to the
coronavirus. Client agrees it will respond quickly to all requests for information made by Consultant related to Consultant's pre -task planning and risk
assessment processes. Client acknowledges its responsibility for notifying Consultant of any circumstances that present a risk of exposure to the
coronavirus or individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 or are self -quarantining due to exhibiting symptoms associated with the coronavirus.

EXHIBIT A - PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
lrerracon
Our Scope of Services is based on our understanding of the project as described the City of
Waterloo and the expected site conditions described below. Aspects of the project, undefined or
assumed, are highlighted. We request the design team verify all information prior to our initiation
of field exploration activities.
Site Location and Anticipated Conditions
Item Description
Site Location
Existing Improvements
Existing Topography
Site Access
Expected
Subsurface Conditions
The project site is located at the intersection of Highway 21 and E. Orange
Road in Waterloo, Iowa.
Latitude: 42.4283, Longitude: -92.3470 (See Exhibit D)
Asphaltic pavements with gravel shoulders, ditches, and overhead electric
lines are present.
Based on publicly available USGS 24k topographic maps, site elevations rise
from an elevation of about 910 feet near the south end of the utility alignment
to an elevation of about 935 feet at the intersection of Highway 21 and E.
Orange Road. The utility alignment is relatively flat along Orange Road.
We expect the site, and all exploration locations, can be accessed using our
atv-mounted drilling equipment without the assistance of other heavy
machinery.
Our experience in the vicinity of the project site indicates subsurface
conditions consist of several feet of fill over glacial clay soils. Granular soils
may be present near the creeks and drainageways.
Planned Construction
Item Description
General
Project Description
Sanitary sewer extensions are planned about 2,200 feet to the south and
about 1,600 feet west of the intersection of Highway 21 and E. Orange Road.
The sewer inverts are planned to be as much as 15 feet below existing grades.

July 22, 2022 Terracon Proposal No. P13225059
EXHIBIT B - SCOPE OF SERVICES
lrerracon
Our proposed Scope of Services consists of field exploration, laboratory testing, and
engineering/project delivery. These services are described in the following sections.
Field Exploration
The City of Waterloo requested the following boring locations and depths:
Number of Borings
Planned Boring Depth (feet)'
Planned Location
7 20 or auger refusal
Below ground surface.
Sanitary Sewer Route
Boring Layout and Elevations: Terracon will determine the boring locations and stake the
locations in the field. Latitudes and longitudes will be obtained by superimposing the site plan
onto Google Earth photography. We will used handheld GPS equipment to locate the borings in
the field. Our GPS equipment has a minimum horizontal accuracy of about 20 feet. Approximate
elevations will be obtained by plotting the borings on the IDNR Lidar Elevation Tool. The locations
and elevations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by these
methods. If more accurate boring locations and elevations are desired, we suggest a land
surveying firm stake the boring locations and provide surface elevations at the boring locations to
us.
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We will advance the borings with a rotary drill rig using
continuous flight augers. Sampling will be performed using a split -barrel sampler or thin -walled
tubes at intervals of 2.5 feet in the upper 15 feet of each boring. We observe and record
groundwater levels during and after drilling and sampling. Open boreholes will be covered
between the time the boring is completed and backfilled.
Terracon's exploration team prepares field boring logs as part of standard drilling operations. The
field logs include sampling interval depths, penetration resistances, and other relevant drilling and
sampling information. Our field logs also include visual descriptions of materials encountered
during drilling and the drill crew's interpretation of subsurface conditions between samples. The
samples are placed in appropriate containers and transported to our laboratory for further testing
and classification.
Our engineering staff and the drill crew communicate during the exploration. If the soil conditions
encountered appear to be unfavorable or marginal, we modify our subsurface exploration while
we are on site. If additional fees apply, we contact the client for authorization, prior to performing
any additional services.

Safety: Terracon is currently not aware of environmental concerns at this project site that would
create health or safety hazards associated with our subsurface program. Thus, the estimated fee
includes our exploration team using standard Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for
geotechnical drilling including hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, high visibility vests,
and steel -toed boots. Our scope of services does not include environmental site assessment
services, but identification of unusual or unnatural materials encountered while drilling and/or
sampling will be noted on our logs and discussed in our report.
For the purpose of preparing our cost estimate, we considered that a right-of-way permit will be
not be required by the City of Waterloo. Traffic control including signage will be required to
perform work in the right-of-way of Orange Road and Iowa Highway 21. Terracon will obtain a
permit from the Iowa Department of Transportation to work within the Highway 21 right-of-way.
We do not anticipate the need for flaggers nor closing a lane of traffic in order to complete the
borings along Highway 21 and E. Orange Rd. In areas where the planned boring locations are
near overhead power lines, the borings will be offset a safe distance from the power lines.
Terracon will notify Iowa One Call to request location and marking of public utilities at least 48
hours prior to performing borings/excavations. We will consult with the owner/client regarding
potential private utilities, or other underground hazards. Based on the results of this consultation,
we consider the need for alternative subsurface exploration methods, as the safety of our
exploration team members is a priority.
Any private utilities should be marked by the owner/client prior to commencement of subsurface
exploration. Terracon will not be responsible for damage to utilities that are incorrectly marked or
not made aware to us. If the owner/client is not able to accurately locate private utilities, Terracon
can assist the owner/client by coordinating or subcontracting with a private utility locating service.
Fees associated with location and marking of private utilities are considered additional services
and are not included in our current scope of services. The use of a private utility locate service
would not relieve the owner of their responsibilities in identifying private underground utilities.
If there are any site restrictions or special site and/or exploration requirements, these should be
made known to Terracon prior to commencement of field services.
Site Access and Property Disturbance: We considered that the site and boring locations can
be accessed using our ATV -mounted equipment. Terracon personnel will take reasonable
measures to limit the amount of damage to the property. However, some rutting of the ground
surface and/or damage to landscape and vegetation could occur. Please note that our scope of
services and fee do not include services associated with site clearing, wet ground conditions, or
repairing existing landscape. If such services are desired by the owner, we should be notified so
we can adjust our scope of services and fee. At least 2 days advanced notice will be provided to
the City of Waterloo of our intent to notify Iowa One Call and perform the field exploration. Please
notify Terracon if arrangements have not been made for subsurface exploration on the property.

We will backfill our boreholes with auger cuttings and bentonite chips after completion. Our
services do not include repair of the site beyond backfilling our boreholes. Excess auger cuttings
will be disposed of in an area designated by the client. Because backfill material often settles
below the surface after a period, we recommend boreholes be checked periodically, and backfilled
if necessary.
Laboratory Testing
The project engineer will review field data and assign laboratory tests to aid in our evaluation of
the engineering properties of the various soil strata. Exact types and number of tests cannot be
defined until completion of field work. Anticipated laboratory testing includes the following:
Water content
Dry unit weight
Unconfined compressive strength
Our laboratory testing program also includes examination of soil samples by an engineer. Based
on the material's texture and plasticity, we will describe and classify soil samples in general
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Engineering and Project Delivery
Results of our field and laboratory programs will be evaluated by a professional engineer. The
engineer will develop a geotechnical site characterization, perform the engineering calculations
necessary to evaluate foundation alternatives, and develop appropriate geotechnical engineering
design criteria for earth -related phases of the project.
Your project will be delivered using our GeoReport° system. Upon initiation, we provide you and
your design team the necessary link and password to access the website. Each project includes
a calendar to track the schedule, an interactive site map, a listing of team members, access to
the project documents as they are uploaded to the site, and a collaboration portal. The typical
delivery process includes the following:
Project Planning — Proposal information, schedule and anticipated exploration plan will
be posted for review and verification
Site Characterization — Findings of the site exploration
Geotechnical Engineering — Recommendations and geotechnical engineering report
When services are complete, we upload a printable version of our completed geotechnical
engineering report. Previous submittals, collaboration, and the report are maintained in our
system. This allows future reference and integration into subsequent aspects of our services as
the project goes through final design and construction.
