CHANGES AND DELAYS
i
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

claim for damages, anticipated profits, or other compensation. Consultant shall not
undertake any change in the Services without receipt of an executed Services
Change Order from Owner.
2.2 Dela s
For any delay that may result from causes that could not be avoided or
controlled by Consultant, Consultant, upon timely written application, shall be
entitled to an extension of the Contract Time for a period of time equal to the delay
resulting from such unavoidable cause. No extension of the Contract Time shall be
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.
2.3 No Constructive Service Change Orders
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.
ARTICLE III
CONSULTANT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE SERVICES
3.1 Representation of Compliance
A. Scope of Representation. The Services and all of its components shall
conform to the requirements of this Contract and shall be performed in accordance
with Standard of Performance as defined in Subsection 1.11) of this Contract (the
"Representation of Compliance").
I
B. Opinions of Cost. It is recognized that neither Consultant nor Owner has
control over the costs of labor, material, equipment or services furnished by
others or over competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions, or
construction contractors' methods of determining their prices. Accordingly,
any opinions of probable Project costs or construction costs provided for
herein are estimates only, made on the basis of Consultant's experience and
qualifications and represent Consultant's best judgment as an experienced
and qualified professional, familiar with the industry. Consultant does not
guaranty that proposals, bids or actual Project costs or construction costs will
not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared by Consultant. Nonetheless,
in the event that the engineer's estimate of costs is 20% or more less than the
lowest responsible bid received, the Consultant will prepare new materials, if
required by the Owner, so that the project can be rebid or reevaluation
without making any additional costs upon the Owner. "Provided, however,
that in the event that the lowest bid from a qualified bidder is 25% or more
higher than the engineer's estimate, the engineer will work with the Village,
at its request, to revise the project documents and will only charge 50% of the
regular costs of services for making such modifications."
3.2 Corrections
Consultant shall be responsible for the quality, technical accuracy,
completeness and coordination of all Services under this Contract. Consultant
shall, promptly and without charge, correct all errors in any Services provided by
Consultant.
3.3 Risk of Loss
The Services shall be provided, performed, and completed at the risk and cost
of Consultant. Consultant shall be responsible for damages to property or persons
to the extent caused by Consultant's errors, omissions, or negligent acts and for any
losses or costs to repair or remedy any work undertaken by Owner based on the
Services as a result of any such errors, omissions, or negligent acts.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, Consultant's obligations
under this Section 3.3 shall exist without regard to, and shall not be construed to be
waived by, the availability or unavailability of any insurance, either of Owner or
Consultant, to indemnify, hold harmless, or reimburse Consultant for such
damages, losses, or costs.
ARTICLE IV
INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION

Contemporaneous with Consultant's execution of this Contract, Consultant
shall provide certificates and policies of insurance evidencing at least the minimum
insurance coverage and limits set forth in Attachment B. For good cause shown,
Owner may extend the time for submission of the required policies of insurance
upon such terms, and with such assurances of complete and prompt performance, as
Owner may impose in the exercise of its sole discretion. Such policies shall be in a
form reasonably acceptable to Owner. Such insurance shall provide that no change
to or cancellation of any insurance, nor any reduction in limits or coverage or other
modifications affecting this Agreement, shall become effective until the expiration of
30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given by the insurance company
to Owner. Consultant shall, at all times while providing, performing, or completing
the Services, including without limitation at all times while providing corrective

performed in separate phases, the balance of that portion of the Contract Price with
respect to such phase of the Services, after deducting therefrom charges, if any,
against Consultant as provided for in this Contract ("Final Payment"). The
acceptance by Consultant of Final Payment with respect to the Services or a
particular phase of Services, as the case may be, shall operate as a full and complete
release of Owner of and from any and all lawsuits, claims, or demands for further
payment of any kind for the Services or, if the Services are performed in separate
phases, for that phase of the Services.

(3) claims of Consultant's sub-consultants, suppliers, or other persons regardless of
merit; (4) delay by Consultant in the completion of the Services; (5) the cost to
Owner, including reasonable attorneys' fees, of correcting any of the aforesaid
matters or exercising any one or more of Owner's remedies set forth in Section 6.1 of

which notice shall state with specificity the amount of, and reason or reasons for,
such deduction and withholding.

either performed the obligations in question or furnished security for such
performance satisfactory to Owner. Owner shall be entitled to apply any money
withheld or any other money due Consultant under this Contract to reimburse itself
for any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, suits, judgments,
awards, and reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively "Costs") incurred, suffered, or
sustained by Owner and chargeable to Consultant under this Contract. Owner
shall notify Consultant in writing given in accordance with Section 7.8 of this
Contract of each application by Owner of money to reimburse such Costs.

charges and costs incurred in performing the Services in accordance with generally

Re: Engineering Proposal
Benchmark Elevations Project—Phase I
Dear Mr. Bosma:
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to perform engineering services for
the Benchmark Elevations Project— Phase I. Our understanding of the improvement, the
scope of the services to be provided, and our not-to-exceed cost to perform the services are
presented in the following paragraphs. Please call me at (630) 719-7570 if you have any
questions or comments concerning our proposal.
UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT
The Village of Oak Brook proposes to reset benchmarks in the northern part of the Village
as part of a multi-phase project of resetting benchmarks throughout the entire Village. The
limits of this first phase is roughly bound by Spring Road on the west, Roosevelt Road on
the north, York Road on the east and 1-88 on the south.
The anticipated scope of this project is summarized as the following:
• Benchmark elevations are primarily to be established on existing fire hydrants
primarily within the public right-of-way. Benchmarks may be set elsewhere in
situations where fire hydrants are not present or other preferred permanent feature
exists (such as top of concrete headwall, concrete light pole or traffic signal
foundations, on power pole, etc.). One hundred benchmarks will be established for
this project.
• Permanent benchmarks/survey markers such as concrete monuments with brass
Bernstein markers or brass markers attached to concrete foundations will not be set
as part of this project.
• Benchmark elevations will be based on the nearest DuPage County (DPC)/Nation
Geodetic Survey (NGS)vertical control monuments. DPC and NGS are both on the
North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
• Each benchmark will list at a minimum two elevations. One being the NAVD 88
datum and the second the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29).
The NGVD 29 elevations will be calculated using NGS's VERTCON software to
compute differenced in orthometric height between NAVD 88 and NGVD 29 datums.
Benchmarks that have been previously established by the Village will also list the

existing elevation. It is our understanding that the existing benchmark on NGVD 29
datum.
• Differential leveling will be run from the starting DPC/NGS monuments and between
all benchmarks to be established.
• As a check, GPS field measurement using Real Time Kinematic(RTK)satellite
navigation technique derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
satellite-based positioning systems will be performed at each benchmark.
• An overall location exhibit will be prepared that shows all set benchmarks.
• A spreadsheet will be prepared that list pertinent information for each set
benchmarks. The Village of Oak Brook will use this information to incorporate into
their GIS system. The spreadsheet will be printable to a size no larger than 11"x17".
• Individual benchmark sheets will not be prepared and no photo of the benchmarks
will be provided.
At this time the Village is requesting a proposal for engineering services to establish
benchmarks throughout Phase I project limits.
It is anticipated that the engineering services will be solely funded by the Village of Oak
Brook.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following professional engineering services are proposed to be provided to the Village
of Oak Brook regarding Phase I of the Benchmark Elevations Project.
I. SURVEY SERVICES:
A. Data Collection:
1. Existing control benchmarks will be researched in the vicinity of the project and
determined which benchmarks are to be used as the basis of establishing the
site benchmarks.
2. A plan will be developed on which existing fire hydrants/permanent monument
are to have benchmark elevations set.
B. Field Review:
Field crew will perform a field reconnaissance of the site to familiarize themselves
with field conditions and strategize field work.
C. Field Survey:
1. GPS field measurement using Real Time Kinematic (RTK) satellite navigation
technique derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite-
based positioning systems will be performed at each benchmark to be set.
2. Vertical control will be run to the project site using differential leveling techniques
from nearest DuPage County(DPC)/Nation Geodetic Survey(NGS)vertical
control monuments. English units and the NAVD 88 vertical control will be used
for all measurements.

3. Vertical control will be run to each project benchmark using differential leveling
techniques. English units and the NAVD 88 vertical control will be used for all
measurements.
4. Locations where benchmarks have previously been established on the Village's
datum,vertical control using differential leveling or GPS filed measurements will
be run to majority of the existing benchmarks. Determination of differences
between the Village datum and computed NGVD 29 datum will be computed.
5. Various field measurements will be obtained to identify the benchmarks location.
Such measurement may include distances to centerline of nearest street, back of
curb, back of shoulder, and etc.. Field measurement of the benchmark location
will add in determining if the benchmark as been moved in the future or
incorrectly located in GIS.
D. Benchmark Exhibits and Deliverables:
1. Once all the field survey is completed an overall map will be provided that shows
the location of all set benchmarks. The base of the map will be provided by the
Village of Oak Brook. Possible base map will be the Village's aerial or street
mapping from their GIS.
2. A spreadsheet will be prepared that list the following for each set benchmarks.
a. Benchmark identifier(name or number)
b. Nearest street address
c. Detailed description
d. State Plane Coordinates (Northing & Easting)to the nearest tenth of a
foot
e. NAVD 88 Elevation
f. NGVD 29 Converted Elevation
g. Village of Oak Brook Elevation (NGVD 29 datum)
E. Coordination and Submittals:
1. We will attend a coordination meeting with the Village Staff at the onset of the
project for the purpose of confirming the scope of the project, anticipated
schedule, and to discuss any specific needs of the Village. j
2. Coordination will be provided with the Village of Oak Brook from the start of the
project until the project has been completed.
3. Deliverables will be compiled and submitted to the Village of Oak Brook
It has been assumed that the following information will be provided by the Village of Oak
Brook:
List of existing benchmarks previously established with Phase I project limits. List
should include location, description, and elevation of each benchmark.
• Base mapping for the Overall Benchmark Map.
• Confirmation or direction regarding the benchmark numbering system.
While preparing the proposal, the following assumptions about the scope of work were
made, and it is understood that a change in the scope of work will affect the final
• Page 3

engineering costs. It was assumed that benchmarks are only to be set within primarily the
public right-of-way; permanent benchmarks/survey markers such as concrete monuments
with brass Bernstein markers or brass markers attached to concrete foundations will not be
set; and individual benchmark sheets will not be prepared and no photo of the benchmarks
will be provided. Should the Village wish James J. Benes and Associates to perform these
services, they shall be considered additional services.
Fees for additional services beyond the scope of this proposal, when approved by the
Client, will be compensated for on time and material basis unless an agreed to proposal for
the additional services is executed.
