PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A sinkhole has developed above a 66-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) at approximately 66th and “L” Street in
Omaha, NE. The City of Omaha has completed CCTV inspection of the pipe from the outlet to approximately
1,260 L.F. upstream. The CCTV inspection shows perforations along the invert of the CMP, and a complete joint
offset approximately 26 L.F. upstream of the outlet in the broken-back section of the CMP. Upstream of the CMP
broken-back section, the storm pipe transitions to a reinforced-concrete pipe (RCP). The RCP section has multiple
locations with exposed rebar in the invert of the pipe, and exposed rebar surrounding storm sewer pipe taps.
This scope of work provides for the final design documents for the replacement/rehabilitation along the 1,260 L.F of
66-inch diameter storm sewer pipe located from 62nd to 66th St. on the south side of L Street in Omaha, NE. This
scope of work includes the design of one maintenance structure outside of the levee prism. This includes associated
coordination work and permits with regulatory agencies including the City of Omaha, the Nebraska Department of
Transportation, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Papio-Missouri River Natural
Resources District (P-MRNRD).

services under this Agreement caused by negligent acts, errors, or
omissions for which ENGINEER is legally liable. OWNER shall be made an
additional insured on Commercial General and Automobile Liability
insurance policies and certificates of insurance will be furnished to the
OWNER. ENGINEER agrees to indemnify OWNER for third party personal
injury and property damage claims to the extent caused by ENGINEER's
negligent acts, errors or omissions. However, neither Party to this
Agreement shall be liable to the other Party for any special, incidental,
indirect, or consequential damages (including but not limited loss of use or
opportunity; loss of good will; cost of substitute facilities, goods, or services;
cost of capital; and/or fines or penalties), to loss of profits or revenue arising
out of, resulting from, or in any way related to the project or the Agreement
from any cause or causes, including but not limited to any such damages
caused by the negligence, errors or omissions, strict liability or breach of
contract.
3. OPINIONS OF PROBABLE COST (COST ESTIMATES)
Any opinions of probable project cost or probable construction cost provided
by ENGINEER are made on the basis of information available to
ENGINEER and on the basis of ENGINEER's experience and qualifications,
and represents its judgment as an experienced and qualified professional
engineer. However, since ENGINEER has no control over the cost of labor,
materials, equipment or services furnished by others, or over the
contractor(s') methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or
market conditions, ENGINEER does not guarantee that proposals, bids or
actual project or construction cost will not vary from opinions of probable
cost ENGINEER prepares.
4. CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES
ENGINEER's observation or monitoring portions of the work performed
under construction contracts shall not relieve the contractor from its
responsibility for performing work in accordance with applicable contract
documents. ENGINEER shall not control or have charge of, and shall not
be responsible for, construction means, methods, techniques, sequences,
procedures of construction, health or safety programs or precautions
connected with the work and shall not manage, supervise, control or have
charge of construction. ENGINEER shall not be responsible for the acts or
omissions of the contractor or other parties on the project. ENGINEER shall
be entitled to review all construction contract documents and to require that
no provisions extend the duties or liabilities of ENGINEER beyond those set
forth in this Agreement. OWNER agrees to include ENGINEER as an
indemnified party in OWNER’s construction contracts for the work, which
shall protect ENGINEER to the same degree as OWNER. Further,
OWNER agrees that ENGINEER shall be listed as an additional insured
under the construction contractor’s liability insurance policies.
5. CONTROLLING LAW
This Agreement is to be governed by the law of the state where
ENGINEER's services are performed.
6. OWNER-PROVIDED SERVICES AND INFORMATION
OWNER will provide all criteria and information pertaining to the project in
OWNER’s possession, and any requirements or budgetary limitations. The
OWNER agrees to bear full responsibility for the technical accuracy and
content of OWNER-furnished documents, information and services.
In performing services hereunder, it is understood by OWNER that
ENGINEER is not engaged in rendering any type of legal, insurance or
accounting services, opinions or advice. Further, it is the OWNER’s sole
responsibility to obtain the advice of an attorney, insurance counselor or
accountant to protect the OWNER’s legal and financial interests.
7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
OWNER and ENGINEER, respectively, bind themselves, their partners,
successors, assigns, and legal representatives to the covenants of this
Agreement. Neither OWNER nor ENGINEER will assign, sublet, or transfer
any interest in this Agreement or claims arising therefrom without the written
consent of the other.
8. RE-USE OF DOCUMENTS
All documents, including all reports, drawings, specifications, computer
software or other items prepared or furnished by ENGINEER pursuant to
this Agreement, are instruments of service with respect to the project.
ENGINEER retains ownership of all such documents. OWNER may retain
copies of the documents for its information and reference in connection with
the project; however, none of the documents are intended or represented to
be suitable for reuse by OWNER or others on extensions of the project or
on any other project. Any reuse without written verification or adaptation by
ENGINEER for the specific purpose intended will be at OWNER's sole risk
and without liability or legal exposure to ENGINEER, and OWNER will
defend, indemnify and hold harmless ENGINEER from all claims, damages,
losses and expenses, including attorney's fees, arising or resulting
therefrom. Any such verification or adaptation will entitle ENGINEER to
further compensation at rates to be agreed upon by OWNER and
ENGINEER.
9. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
OWNER or ENGINEER may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part,
by giving seven (7) days written notice, if the other party substantially fails to
fulfill its obligations under the Agreement through no fault of the terminating
party. Where the method of payment is "lump sum," or cost reimbursement,
the final invoice will include all services and expenses associated with the
project up to the effective date of termination. An equitable adjustment shall
also be made to provide for termination settlement costs ENGINEER incurs
as a result of commitments that had become firm before termination, and for
a reasonable profit for services performed.
10. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions shall be valid and binding upon the parties. One or
more waivers by either party of any provision, term or condition shall not be
construed by the other party as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the
same provision, term or condition.
11. INVOICES
ENGINEER will submit monthly invoices for services rendered and
OWNER will make prompt payments in response to ENGINEER's invoices.
ENGINEER will retain receipts for reimbursable expenses in general
accordance with Internal Revenue Service rules pertaining to the support of
expenditures for income tax purposes. Receipts will be available for
inspection by OWNER's auditors upon request.
If OWNER disputes any items in ENGINEER's invoice for any reason,
including the lack of supporting documentation, OWNER may temporarily
delete the disputed item and pay the remaining amount of the invoice.
OWNER will promptly notify ENGINEER of the dispute and request
clarification and/or correction. After any dispute has been settled,
ENGINEER will include the disputed item on a subsequent, regularly
scheduled invoice, or on a special invoice for the disputed item only.
OWNER recognizes that late payment of invoices results in extra expenses
for ENGINEER. ENGINEER retains the right to assess OWNER interest at
the rate of one percent (1%) per month, but not to exceed the maximum
rate allowed by law, on invoices which are not paid within thirty (30) days
Terms & Conditions for Floodplain, Dams and Levee Professional Services 2 (5/2020)
from the date of the invoice. In the event undisputed portions of
ENGINEER's invoices are not paid when due, ENGINEER also reserves
the right, after seven (7) days prior written notice, to suspend the
performance of its services under this Agreement until all past due
amounts have been paid in full.
12. CHANGES
The parties agree that no change or modification to this Agreement, or any
attachments hereto, shall have any force or effect unless the change is
reduced to writing, dated, and made part of this Agreement. The execution
of the change shall be authorized and signed in the same manner as this
Agreement. Adjustments in the period of services and in compensation
shall be in accordance with applicable paragraphs and sections of this
Agreement. Any proposed fees by ENGINEER are estimates to perform
the services required to complete the project as ENGINEER understands it
to be defined. For those projects involving conceptual or process
development services, activities often are not fully definable in the initial
planning. In any event, as the project progresses, the facts developed may
dictate a change in the services to be performed, which may alter the
scope. ENGINEER will inform OWNER of such situations so that changes
in scope and adjustments to the time of performance and compensation
can be made as required. If such change, additional services, or
suspension of services results in an increase or decrease in the cost of or
time required for performance of the services, an equitable adjustment
shall be made, and the Agreement modified accordingly.
13. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT
These Terms and Conditions shall take precedence over any inconsistent
or contradictory provisions contained in any proposal, purchase order,
requisition, notice-to-proceed, or like document. In resolving inconsistent or
contradictory provisions between this Agreement and any other
document or understanding, the terms of these Terms and Conditions
shall control.
14. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT AND NONDISCRIMINATION
In connection with the services under this Agreement, ENGINEER agrees
to comply with the applicable provisions of federal and state Equal
Employment Opportunity for individuals based on color, religion, sex, or
national origin, or disabled veteran, recently separated veteran, other
protected veteran and armed forces service medal veteran status,
disabilities under provisions of executive order 11246, and other
employment, statutes and regulations, as stated in Title 41 Part 60 of the
Code of Federal Regulations § 60-1.4 (a-f), § 60-300.5 (a-e), § 60-741 (a-
e).
15. CERTIFICATIONS
The use of the word “certify” or “certification” by a registered professional
engineer in the practice of professional engineering or land surveying
constitutes an expression of professional opinion regarding those facts or
findings which are the subject of the certification, and does not constitute
a warranty or guarantee, either expressed or implied. Certification of
analyses is a statement that the analyses have been performed correctly
and in accordance with sound engineering practices. Certification of
structural works is a statement that the works are designed in accordance
with sound engineering practices and OWNER approved design loads.
Certification of “as built”' conditions is a statement that the structure(s) has
been built according to specifically identified drawings, specifications and
contract documents to the extent the structure(s) is readily observable, is in
place, and is fully functioning. The definition and legal effect of any and all
certifications shall be limited as stated herein.
16. EXECUTION
This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules made part hereof,
constitute the entire Agreement between ENGINEER and OWNER,
supersedes and controls over all prior written or oral understandings. This
Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written
instrument duly executed by the parties.
17. ALLOCATION OF RISK
OWNER AND ENGINEER HAVE EVALUATED THE RISKS AND
REWARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT, INCLUDING
ENGINEER’S FEE RELATIVE TO THE RISKS ASSUMED, AND AGREE
TO ALLOCATE CERTAIN OF THE RISKS, SO, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY
OF ENGINEER (AND ITS RELATED CORPORATIONS,
SUBCONSULTANTS AND EMPLOYEES) TO OWNER AND THIRD
PARTIES GRANTED RELIANCE IS LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF
$1,000,000 OR ITS FEE, FOR ANY AND ALL INJURIES, DAMAGES,
CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY AND
EXPERT FEES) ARISING OUT OF ENGINEER’S SERVICES OR THIS
AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF CAUSE(S) OR THE THEORY OF
LIABILITY, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, INDEMNITY, OR OTHER
RECOVERY.
18. LITIGATION SUPPORT
In the event ENGINEER is required to respond to a subpoena,
government inquiry or other legal process related to the services in
connection with a legal or dispute resolution proceeding to which
ENGINEER is not a party, OWNER shall reimburse ENGINEER for
reasonable costs in responding and compensate ENGINEER at its then
standard rates for engineering services when gathering information and
documents and shall pay ENGINEER its standard rates for providing
expert witness services when attending depositions, hearings, and trial.
If ENGINEER is made a party to any litigation concerning OWNER’s flood
control structures, OWNER shall reimburse ENGINEER for all costs of
defense pending a final determination of ENGINEER’s professional
liability. If ENGINEER is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
been negligent, ENGINEER shall reimburse OWNER the costs of defense
paid by OWNER, and shall satisfy any judgment up to ENGINEER’s
limitation of liability. Any amount in excess of ENGINEER’s limitation of
liability shall be paid by OWNER.
19. MAINTENANCE OF STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS
OWNER agrees that structures and systems studied, reviewed, analyzed
or designed by the ENGINEER are dependent upon OWNER’s continued
operation and maintenance of the project structures and systems in
accordance with all permits, laws and regulations that permit the
construction and operation of the structures and systems, including any
Engineer prepared operations and maintenance plans. Should OWNER
fail to maintain the structures to be in full compliance with permits,
approvals, and operations and maintenance plans, ENGINEER shall have
no liability to OWNER, and OWNER shall indemnify, release and hold
ENGINEER and its employees harmless from any liability resulting from
any direct or consequential damage resulting from such non-compliance,
including but not limited to claims made by third-parties against
ENGINEER.
20. VISUAL INSPECTIONS
For visual inspections, OWNER hereby releases, holds harmless,
indemnifies and agrees to defend ENGINEER against any claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, expenses or costs arising out of any failure
to detect hidden, covered, inaccessible, or internal structural or material
defects, corrosion, or damages in components, embedment, reinforcing,
anchorages and parts of equipment, structures, or mechanisms being
inspected, that are not readily discernible by external visual inspection
through reasonable efforts.
21. DESIGN CRITERIA DISCLAIMER
Prevailing science and understanding of natural forces including, but not
limited to, flood, rain, temperature, earthquakes and wind indicates a
dynamic and non-stationary system of potential loads. OWNER
acknowledges and accepts all liability for the selection of appropriate
return intervals and selection of extreme natural events for the use in
the design of the dam, levee or flood control system. OWNER
acknowledges they have taken into account the impacts of the various
natural events when selecting the design criteria for the project.
22. FORCE MAJEURE
ENGINEER shall not be responsible for delays caused by factors
beyond ENGINEER’s reasonable control, including but not limited to
delays because of strikes, lockouts, work slowdowns or stoppages,
government ordered industry shutdowns, power or server outages, acts
of nature, widespread infectious disease outbreaks (including, but not
limited to epidemics and pandemics), failure of any governmental or
other regulatory authority to act in a timely manner, failure of the
OWNER to furnish timely information or approve or disapprove of
ENGINEER’s services or work product, or delays caused by faulty
performance by the OWNER’s or by contractors of any level or any
other events or circumstances not within the reasonable control of the
party affected, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing.
When such delays beyond ENGINEER’s reasonable control occur, the
OWNER agrees that ENGINEER shall not be responsible for damages,
nor shall ENGINEER be deemed in default of this Agreement, and the
parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment to ENGINEER’s schedule
and/or compensation if impacted by the force majeure event or
condition.
