EXHIBIT C: Agreement Between
Owner and DIXON
BASIS OF FEES,INVOICING AND PAYMENT
General Provisions of Article 4 of the Agreement has been moved to this EXHIBIT C:
Part 1 BASIS OF FEES
C1.00 Owner's Responsibility:
A. Owner shall pay DIXON for Basic(Project Management and Contract Administration),Resident
Project Representative(RPR),and Additional Services as detailed below and as summarized in
Attachment 1 to EXHIBIT C.(Exhibit C-1).
C1.01 Basis:
A. Hourly rates of DIXON's employee are per classification in the Standard Hourly Rate and
Reimbursable Expense Schedule included in this Exhibit C as Exhibit C Attachment 2. (Ex C-2)
A classification that has a range of fees,reflects varying levels of experience within that
classification. DIXON reserves the right to select the level of RPR and classification.This
decision is at DIXON's discretion only and will be dependent primarily on experience with Owner
selected Contractor as well as other factors.
1. Reimbursable expenses are those expenses directly related to and resulting from this Project.
These expenses are primarily living expenses and mileage.
C1.02 Methods of Rate Calculation and Definitions including Limitations:
A. Standard Hourly Rate(SHR)Method: An amount equal to the cumulative hours charged to the
Project by each classification of DIXON's personnel,times Standard Hourly Rates and Overtime
rates for each applicable billing classification. (Exhibit C-2)
1. The SHR method may be used for all services. It is more commonly used on portions of
various Phase Services where scheduling and speed are controlled by the Contractor or
unforeseen project expenses.(Phase 3 Construction,Basic, and RPR services,and for
Additional Services during all phases. Overtime rates apply on weekends,holiday,and over
40 hours per week. When accounting for the 40 hours it applies over 40 hours worked
between Monday and Friday,weekend rates are already at Overtime rate. Holiday pay also
does not contribute toward the accounting for 40 hours.)
2. The SHR charged by DIXON constitutes full and complete compensation for DIXON services
including labor costs,overhead,and profit but not Reimbursable Expenses.
3. The Standard Hourly Rates per employee classification listed in Attachment C-2 do not
include reimbursable expenses.The estimated Reimbursable Expenses are NOT calculated and
averaged over the classification rate.
a. The estimator calculates the number of days a project is expected to require and calculates
manpower required to match number of hours and services required.
b. The estimator then calculates Reimbursable Expenses based on the same criteria.
c. Both the total manpower estimate,and Reimbursable Expenses total estimate are added.
And the total estimate is included in the fee schedule shown in Attachment C-1.
B. Lump Sum(LS)Method: One agreed fee for completing an agreed defined scope of services. The
Lump Sum Method fee charged by DIXON constitute full and completed compensation for
DIXON's services including labor costs,overhead,and profit,and reimbursable expenses.
C. The Lump Sum Method is more commonly used by DIXON for portions of the Phases where
DIXON has control over a greater percentage of unknowns,such as the Technical Specifications,
Bidding and Contract Documents,and Post Construction Phases excluding fees for Additional
Services.
1. DIXON may use a Lump Sum for the entire project.
Agreement Owner:Village of Oak Brook Page 7 of 18
Exhibit A,C,GP,I Contract No: 13-22-24-03
D. Unit Price(UP)Method: Can be considered individual Lump Sum amounts. Reimbursable
expenses are calculated and included in Unit Price methods.
1. The Unit Price Method is used when DIXON completes Hold Point Observations,Project
Progress or Preconstruction Meetings,known,controlled portions of the Contract and
unknown Post Construction(Additional Services).
2. Exhibit J Amendment: If Amendment changes Scope of Services then Additional Services
may be negotiated Lump Sum or Standard Hourly Rate Method.
2. Exhibit K Addendum:Addenda items(if any)may be negotiated according to any agreed
method.
3. Subconsultants or Subcontractor Service Fees are not included in the SHR,LS,or UP
methods. DIXON will invoice for Subconsultant's or Subcontractor's actual invoiced amount
times a factor of 1.20. The 1.20 factor includes DIXON's overhead and profit associated with
DIXON's responsibility for the administration of such services.
E. Not every Method of Rate Calculation may be used in this or any Contract,but every contract may
be amended by using Exhibit K. If additional Work proposed in Exhibit K involves a different
Method of Rate Calculation,it will be clearly defined herein.
C1.03 Definitions including Limitations:
A. Basic Services to be performed are identified as Basic Services in Exhibit A,or by reference,in
the General Conditions(GC-700-18)of the Owner/Contractor Construction Documents. Basic
Services are generally calculated using the SHR method. These services are contracted services
and thus are prior authorized.
B. RPR Services contractually agreed services per Exhibit A or by reference,in the General
Conditions(GC-700-18)of the Owner/Contractor Construction Document RPR services. These
services are primarily observation during the Construction phase. RPR Services are generally
calculated using the SHR method for Full Time or Daily services and by Unit Price for Hold Point
Observations. Often a Contract for RPR services involves a combination of the SHR and the Unit
Price method. These are contracted services and thus are prior authorized.
C. Contingent Services some services are Basic to every contract such as Preconstruction Meeting
and review of Final Pay Request. Other Basic Services and the Project Manager's time associated
with them are unknown. Some services are not used on all projects,such as review of multiple
Pay Requests,Change Orders,Field Orders,and Work Change Directives. These are services
which may or may not be needed,and thus Contingent. Contingent Services are generally
calculated using the SHR method but may be Lump Sum or Unit Price method. These are
contracted services and thus are prior authorized.
D. Additional Services are services outside of the Scope of Services as defined in Exhibit A. These
are NOT contracted services and prior authorization in the form of Exhibit K-Addendum to
Agreement is required. The calculation of fees is Work dependent and may be calculated by the
SHR method,or Lump Sum or Unit Price.
E. Antenna Services are defined in Ex B and authorized by Exhibit K—Antenna Addendum. The
calculation of the services is usually a combination of Unit Price and SHR methods. These are
contracted services(by addendum)and thus are prior authorized.
C1.04 Fees:
A. Contracted Fees are detailed in this Exhibit C Attachment 1.
B. Contingency Allowance Fees if identified or requested,are intended to allow the flexibility to
continue the Project and Services,without the need for an Addendum for additional fees.
Contingent Fees may be transferred within the Project Phase or transferred to other project Phases
as needed. Transfer does not require prior authorization. It is intended that any fees in this
Contingency be used when other accounts are exhausted or minor Additional Services are
Agreement Owner:Village of Oak Brook Page 8 of 18
Exhibit A,C,GP,I Contract No: 13-22-24-03
required. Contingency fees unused will not be invoiced. Basic and/or RPR Fees may be increased
to accomplish the same benefits of a Contingency Allowance.
C. Set-Off Fees contractual Set-off: (Applies to Construction and Post Construction Phases only)as
defined in the Technical Specifications and General Conditions of the Owner/Contractor Contract,
is a Contractually agreed remedy for small violations or nonadherence of the Contract terms which
result in extra or unnecessary expenses to the Owner. The cost for these unnecessary expenses are
not foreseen and cannot be calculated. They are the same SHR or Unit Price method,that had the
service been necessary would have been invoiced to Owner.These services generally do not
require prior approval of Owner,because they are required in the administration of the Contract.
Set-off fees are invoiced to the Owner,who pays DIXON.The Owner can then Set-off these
charges from amounts owed to the Contractor.
1. A few examples of Set-off Fees are when the Owner has incurred extra charges or engineering
costs related to:
a. Excessive submittal review,
b. Excessive evaluations of proposed substitutes,
c. Tests and inspections,or return Hold Point Observations to complete Field Work that were
determined to be a failed inspection and,
d. Work is defective,require correction or replacement including additional inspection costs.
2. Set-off is only used during the Construction and Post Construction Phases where additional
Observation or engineering services are required to correct failed Work.
C1.05 Estimated Fee:
A. The SHR Method of Rate Calculation is an estimate. The SHR Method is prepared based on
extensive experience and is intended to be conservative.
1. Calculating SHR includes,DIXON's estimate of the amounts that will become payable for
specified services are only estimates for planning purposes,are not binding on the parties,and
are not the minimum or maximum amounts payable to DIXON under the agreement.
2. When estimated compensation amounts have been stated herein and it subsequently becomes
apparent to DIXON that the total compensation amount thus estimated will be exceeded,
DIXON shall give Owner notice thereof,allowing Owner to consider its options,including
suspension or termination of DIXON's services for Owner's Convenience. Upon notice,
Owner and DIXON promptly shall review the matter of services remaining to be performed
and compensation for such services. Owner shall either exercise its right to suspend or
terminate DIXON's services for Owner's convenience,agree to such compensation exceeding
said estimated amount,or agree to a reduction in the remaining services to be rendered by
DIXON,so that total compensation for such services will not exceed said estimated amount
when such services are completed. If Owner decides not to suspend DIXON's services during
the negotiations and DIXON exceeds the estimated amount before Owner and DIXON have
agreed to an increase in the compensation due DIXON or a reduction in the remaining
services,then DIXON shall be paid for all services rendered hereunder.
3. The requirements of minimum work hours and weeks shall remain in effect through
negotiations and the minimum requirements of these paragraphs are not negotiable. An RPR
is a professional,and if he remains on Site,he is guaranteed the minimum number of hours.
Negotiations may Full Time or Daily RPR to Hold Point Observation Services or reduce the
number of Daily Inspections. Then minimum hour requirements apply only to demobilization
if RPR was Full Time.
