from opinions of probable cost prepared by Consultant. Nonetheless, in the event that the

the Consultant will prepare new materials, if required by the Owner, so that the project
can be re -bid 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%

its request, to revise the project documents and will only charge 50% of the regular costs
of services for making such modifications."

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.

Dear John,
Now that the Village of Oak Brook Pedestrian Circulation Stage 4 improvements project is moving
forward to construction, we understand that Engineering Resource Associates, Inc. (ERA) is submitting
a proposal to the Village of Oak Brook to provide construction phase engineering services. HDG will
provide construction observation and administration services for the work we were responsible for
designing as a sub -consultant to ERA.
Our role during construction will be to assist ERA related to the items we were responsible for
designing, including attending a pre -construction meeting with the selected contractor, reviewing
shop drawings and product submittals, periodically reviewing the work on-site, issuing
interpretations or clarifications to the construction documents if necessary, reviewing the work at
substantial completion and preparing a punch list of items to be completed, and attending a final
walk through. The work is outlined in more detail In the attached Scope of Services.
We will invoice our work on an hourly basis at our standard hourly rates plus customary expenses for
a total fee estimated not -to -exceed $5,000. We understand that the project
is scheduled to
commence in summer 2016 and be completed by the end of October 2016. We are available to begin
work with your authorization based on this schedule and participate as needed during the
221 WJefferson Avenue
