CHANGES AND DELAYS
2.1 Changes
Owner shall have the right, by written order executed by Owner, to make
changes to the timing or scope of the Services to be provided pursuant to this
Contract (a "Services Change Order"). When a Services Change Order causes an
increase or decrease in the amount of the Services, an equitable adjustment in the

allowed for any other delay in completion of the Services. In the event of a delay in
the project outside of the control of Consultant that affects Consultant's ability to
perform the Services, the Contract Price shall be adjusted for any actual increase in
costs necessarily incurred by Consultant in the performance of the Services.

No claim for an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time
shall be made or allowed unless it is embodied in a Services Change Order agreed to
by Owner and Consultant. If Consultant believes it is entitled to an equitable
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time that has not been included, or
fully included, in a Services Change Order, then Consultant shall submit to Owner
a written request for the issuance of, or revision of, a Services Change Order,
including the equitable adjustment, or the additional equitable adjustment, in the
Contract Price or Contract Time that Consultant claims has not been included, or
fully included, in a Services Change Order. Such request shall be submitted before
Consultant proceeds with any Services for which Consultant claims an equitable
adjustment is due.

Oak Brook, IL 60523
Attention: Mr. Michael Hullihan, PE, Public Works Director
Subject: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services
Luthin Road Outlet
Dear Mr. Hullihan:
At your request, we are providing this proposal to complete a storm sewer design and a
stormwater management permit for the Luthin Road pond. Included below you will find our
Understanding of the Assignment, Scope of Services and Determination of Fee.
UNDERSTANDING OF THE ASSIGNMENT
Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) understands that the Village of Oak Brook
would like to provide an outlet to the pond located immediately south of Luthin Road. The
Village has completed a study of the area that was prepared by TKDA. The proposed outlet
for the pond would discharge onto Forest Preserve District of DuPage County (FPDDC)
property located to the west of the pond. FPDDC staff has reviewed the TKDA report and
have concerns about the size of the proposed outlet (15" pipe). The Village has met with the
FPDDC staff and the outcome of that meeting was a scaled back design for the pond outlet
(6" pipe)
CBBEL will prepare the required stormwater permit information and design plans for the
proposed outlet that will be reviewed by Village and FPDDC staff. A Best Management
Practice (either a vortex type vault and/or a stone inlet control) will be included in the design
plans for the proposed outlet. CBBEL has not included budget for survey of the pipe or a tree
survey of the proposed alignment. Once the proposed project has been approved by the
FPDDC and the Village, a wetland delineation and stormwater management permit will then
be prepared for the proposed outlet. The work for the site would take place in conjunction with
the proposed re-surfacing of Luthin Road in 2017.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 — Preliminary Design: The 6" outlet for the site will be designed based upon the
recommendations of Village staff. The base survey data collected by TKDA and the
Village will be utilized to layout the path of the proposed storm sewer. Post construction
Best Management Practices (PCBMPs) will be required as part of the proposed
stormwater management system for the project and will be included as part of the initial
design drawings. The preliminary design will then be submitted to Village and FPDDC
staff for review and approval of the overall design concept.
Task 2 — Final Design: Any proposed changes to the outlet and/or PCBMPs will be
incorporated into the final design of the pond outlet. The final plans will then be used to
complete a stormwater management permit for the project.
Task 3 — Field Reconnaissance: An investigation of the project site will be completed
to determine the limits of any wetlands or waters of the United States present. The
delineation will be completed based on the methodology established by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. Also during the site visit, wildlife and plant community qualities will
be assessed. The limits of the wetland community will be field staked so that they can be
located in relation to the project coordinate system. The limits of the identified waters and
wetland will be located using a sub-meter accuracy handheld GPS unit.
Task 4— Letter Report: The results of the field reconnaissance will be summarized in a
letter report. The wetlands' generalized quality ratings, according to the Swink and
Wilhelm Methodology (1994), will be included along with exhibits depicting the
approximate wetland and project boundaries, National Wetland Inventory, Soil Survey,
floodplain, USGS topography, site photographs and their locations, and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On-Site Data Forms.
Task 5 - Wetland/Waters Boundary Confirmation: CBBEL staff will coordinate and
attend a wetland/waters boundary confirmation with the appropriate Village Staff.
Task 6—Village of Oak Brook Wetland Submittal Preparation: CBBEL Environmental
Resources Staff will prepare wetland and buffer portions of the overall Stormwater
Management Permit Application. This information will include the required exhibits,
specifications, data and project information. If necessary, this information will also be
compiled and assembled for placement in permit application packages to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
Task 7 — Village of Oak Brook Floodplain and Stormwater Management Submittal
Preparation: CBBEL Water Resources Staff will prepare the Stormwater management
and floodplain portions of the overall Stormwater Management Permit Application. This
information will include the required exhibits, specifications, data and project information
and will be combined with the data prepared under Task 6.

Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that the Project Documents such as, but not
lirnited to reports, calculations, drawings, and specifications prepared for the Project,
whether in hard copy or machine readable form, are instruments of professional service
intended for one-time use in the construction of this Project. These Project Documents
are and shall remain the property of the Engineer. The Client may retain copies,
including copies stored on -magnetic tape or disk, for information and reference in
connection with the occupancy and use of the Project.
When and if record drawings are to be provided by the Engineer, Client understands that
information used in the preparation of record drawings is provided by others and
Engineer is not responsible for accuracy, completeness, .nor sufficiency of such
information. Client also understands that the level of detail illustrated by record
drawings will generally be the same as the level of detail illustrated by the design
drawing used for project construction. If additional detail is requested by the Client to be
:included on the record drawings, then the Client understands and agrees that the
Engineer will be due additional compensation for additional services.
It is also understood and agreed that because of the possibility that information and data
delivered in machine readable form may be altered,whether inadvertently or otherwise,
the Engineer reserves the right to retain the original tapes/disks and to remove from
copies provided to the Client all identification reflecting the involvement of the Engineer
in their preparation. The Engineer also reserves the right to retain hard copy originals of
all Project Documentation delivered to the Client in machine readable form, which
originals shall be referred to and shall govern in the event of any inconsistency between
the two.
The Client understands that the automated conversion of information and data from the
system and format used by the Engineer to an alternate system or format cannot be
accomplished without the introduction of inexactitudes, anomalies, and errors. In the
event Project Documentation provided to the Client in machine readable form is so
converted, the Client agrees to assume all risks associated.therewith and, to the fullest
2
extent permitted by law, to hold harmless and indemnify the Engineer from and against
all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and costs, including but not limited to attorney's
fees, arising therefrom or in connection therewith.
The Client recognizes that changes or modifications to the Engineer's instruments of
professional service introduced by anyone other than the Engineer may result in adverse
consequences which the Engineer can neither predict nor control. Therefore, and in
consideration of the Engineer's agreement to deliver its instruments of professional
service in machine readable form, the Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to hold harmless and indemnify the Engineer from and against all claims, liabilities,
losses, damages, and costs, including but not limited to attorney's fees, arising out of or
in any way connected with the modification, misinterpretation, misuse, or reuse by
others of the machine readable information and data provided by the Engineer under

professional care in 'his/her efforts to comply with those laws, codes, ordinance and
regulations which are in effect as of the date of this Agreement.
With specific respect to prescribed requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 or certified state or local accessibility regulations (ADA), Client understands ADA is
a civil rights legislation and that interpretation of ADA is a legal issue and not a design
issue and, accordingly, retention of legal counsel (by Client) for purposes of
interpretation is advisable. As such and with respect to ADA, Client agrees to waive any
action against Engineer, and to indemnify and defend Engineer against any claim arising
from Engineer's alleged failure to meet ADA requirements prescribed.
3
Further to the law and code compliance, the Client understands that the Engineer will
strive to provide designs in accordance with the prevailing Standards of Practice as
previously set forth, but that the Engineer does not warrant that any reviewing agency
having jurisdiction will not for its own purposes comment, request changes and/or
additions to such designs. In the event such design requests are made by a reviewing
agency, but which do not exist in the form of a written regulation, ordinance or other
similar document as published by the reviewing agency, then such design changes (at
substantial variance from the intended design developed by the Engineer), if effected
and incorporated into the project documents by the Engineer, shall be considered as
Supplementary. Task(s) to the Engineer's Scope of Service and compensated for
accordingly.

but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, -use of capital, claims of customers, cost of
purchased or replacement power, or for any other loss of any nature,whether based on
contract,tort, negligence,strict liability or otherwise, by reasons of the services rendered
under this Agreement.
11. Opinions of Probable Cost: Since Engineer has no control over the cost of labor,
materials or equipment, or over the Contractor(s) method of determining process, or
over competitive bidding or market conditions, his/her opinions of probable Project
Construction Cost provided for herein are to be made on the basis of his/her experience
and qualifications and represent his/her judgement as a design professional familiarwith
the construction industry, but Engineer cannot and does not guarantee that proposal,
bids or the Construction Cost will not vary from opinions of probable construction cost
prepared by him/her. If prior to the Bidding or Negotiating Phase, Client wishes greater
accuracy as to the Construction Cost, the Client shall employ an independent cost
estimator Consultant for the purpose of obtaining a second construction cost opinion
independent from Engineer.

costs, losses, expenses, damages of any nature whatsoever or claim expenses arising
out of this Agreement from any cause or causes, including attorney's fees and costs,
and expert witness fees and costs, shall not exceed the total Engineer's fee for
professional engineering services rendered on this project as made part of this'
Agreement. Such causes included but are not limited to the Engineer's negligence,
errors, omissions, strict liability or breach of contract. It is intended that this limitation
apply to any and all liability or cause of action however alleged or. arising, unless
otherwise prohibited by law.
6
24. Client's Responsibilities: The Client agrees to provide full information regarding
requirements for and about the Project, including a program which shall set forth the
Client's objectives, schedule, constraints, criteria, special equipment, systems and site
requirements.
The Client agrees to furnish and pay for all legal, accounting and insurance counseling
services as may be necessary at any time for the Project, including auditing services
which the Client may require to verify the Contractor's Application for Payment or to
ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used the money paid by or on
behalf of the Client.
The Client agrees to require the Contractor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the Engineer, its consultants, and the employees
and agents of any of them from and against any and all claims, suits, demands,
liabilities, losses, damages, and costs ("Losses"), including but not limited to costs of
defense, arising in whole or in part out of the negligence of the Contractor, its
subcontractors, the officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors of any of them, or
anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, regardless of whether or not such
Losses are caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. Specifically excluded from
the foregoing are Losses arising out of the preparation or approval of maps, drawings,
opinions, reports,surveys, change orders,designs, or specifications, and the giving of or
failure to give directions by the Engineer, its consultants,and the agents and employees
of any of them, provided such giving or failure to give is the primary cause of Loss. The
Client also agrees to require the Contractor to provide to the Engineer the required
certificate of insurance.

Contractor, the Client agrees to be wholly responsible for setting forth any and all such
insurance requirements. Furthermore, any document provided for Client review by the
Engineer under this Contract related to such insurance(s) shall be considered as sample
insurance requirements and not the recommendation of the Engineer. Client agrees to
have their own risk management department review any and all insurance requirements
for adequacy and to determine specific types of insurance(s) required for the project.
Client further agrees that decisions concerning types and amounts of insurance are
7
specific to the project and shall be the product of the Client. As such, any and all
insurance requirements made part of Contract Documents prepared by the Engineer are
not to be considered the Engineer's recommendation, and the Client shall make the final
decision regarding insurance requirements.
25. Information Provided by Others: The Engineer shall indicate to the Client the
information needed for rendering of the services of this Agreement. The Client shall
provide to the Engineer such information as is available to the Client and the Client's
consultants and contractors, and the Engineer shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy
and completeness thereof. The Client recognizes that it is impossible for the Engineer
to assure the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of such information, either
because it is impossible to verify, or because of errors or omissions which may have
occurred in assembling the information the Client is providing. Accordingly, the Client
agrees,to the fullest extent permitted by law,to indemnify and hold the Engineer and the
Engineer's subconsultants harmless from any claim, liability or cost (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and cost of defense) for injury or loss arising or allegedly
arising from errors, omissions or inaccuracies in documents or other information
