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 for Services, an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or

Change Order shall entitle Consultant to make any claim for damages, anticipated
profits, or other compensation. Consultant shall not undertake any change in the

2.2 Delays
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 V
PAYMENT

and conditions set forth in this Article V and Attachment A, and Consultant shall
accept in full satisfaction for providing, performing, and completing the Services,
the amount or amounts in the schedule of prices set forth in Attachment A
("Contract Price"), subject to any additions, deductions, or withholdings provided for
in this Contract. If the price for the Contract in Attachment A is stated as an
estimated price based upon the hours actually spent in the project or some other
uncertain price standard and the Consultant finds that the estimated price stated
in Attachment A will be exceeded, the Consultant shall be required to present in
writing to the Owner, a letter indicating that the projected price will not cover all of
the work and a new projected price shall be inserted. The Consultant shall not do
any work in excess of the initially estimated or later approved maximum price
without having received the written approval of the Village Manager. This
provision shall not apply in situations in which the Owner requests additional
services not covered by this Contract and the Village Manager has authorized an
agreed-upon price for such services in writing
5.2 Taxes, Benefits and Royalties

installments in the manner set forth in Attachment A ("Progress Payments").
B. Pay Requests. Consultant shall, as a condition precedent to its right to
receive each Progress Payment, submit to Owner an invoice accompanied by such
receipts, vouchers, and other documents as may be necessary to reasonably
establish Consultant's prior payment for all labor, material, and other things
covered by the invoice and the absence of any lien or other interest of any party in
regard to the Services performed under this Contract. In addition to the foregoing,
such invoice shall include (a) employee classifications, rates per hour, and hours
worked by each classification, and, if the Services are to be performed in separate
phases, for each phase; (b) total amount billed in the current period and total
amount billed to date, and, if the Services are to be performed in separate phases,
for each phase; (c) the estimated percent completion, and, if the Services are to be

that, to the best of Consultant's knowledge, information, and belief, all prior

5.4 Final Acceptance and Final Payment
The Services or, if the Services are to be performed in separate phases, each
phase of the Services, shall be considered complete on the date of final written
acceptance by Owner of the Services or each phase of the Services, as the case may
be, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Services
or each phase of the Services, as the case may be, shall be deemed accepted by
Owner if not objected to in writing within 30 days after submission by Consultant of
the Services or such phase of Services for final acceptance and payment plus, if
applicable, such additional time as may be considered reasonable for obtaining
approval of governmental authorities having jurisdiction to approve the Services, or
phase of Services, as the case may be. Within 30 days after final_acceptance, Owner
shall pay to Consultant the balance of the Contract Price or, if the Services are to be
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.
5.5 Deductions
A. Owner's Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Contract, Owner shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any Progress
or Final Payment that may be or become due under this Contract such amount as

Services that are defective, nonconforming, or incomplete; (2) liens or claims of lien;
(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

amounts withheld pursuant to Subsection 5.5A above until Consultant shall have
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.

selection process to complete the Plan in collaboration with Village staff. Part of this Plan was dedicated
to the identification of water main replacement capital improvements. These improvements were
selected and prioritized based on main break history, available fire flows (hydraulic modeling), size,
material,soil conditions,and other criteria developed by the team.Two of the projects identified included
main replacement along Spring Road at Harger, as well as a Tuscan Woods extension to loop dead-end,
smaller diameter main along Harger Road not capable of conveying the desired fire flows.A portion of the
water main replacement was completed in conjunction with the Village's recently completed Multi-Use
Path and Water Main Replacement Project.The Village has elected to move forward with replacement of
the remaining Harger Road 8-inch and 10-inch main between Spring Road and Salt Creek.
The Village has received federal funding through the STP program to resurface Harger Road in 2023, and
as such replacement of the main along this route has been identified as a priority for completion prior to
the roadway improvements. The scope of this project also includes directional drilling of approximately
560 feet of 8-inchg main from Harger Road to Forest Trail, replacing the existing main under Salt Creek.
It should be noted that a preliminary review of County DFIRM mapping shows the Forest Trail cul-de-sac
within the Floodway, as well as portions of Harger Road where the drilling would extend within the 100-
Year Floodplain. It is anticipated that permitting of these improvements would require a full 9-tab DuPage
County stormwater submittal for the portions within the floodplain, as well as USACE and IDNR
coordination and permitting for the portions within the floodway. This has been incorporated into the
scope as an "Optional Task"for the Village to include for execution if necessary.

Project Understanding
The Village has outlined eight tasks associated with the design-stage engineering services, which very
closely mirror TAI'S typical approach to water main replacement program projects.Task#1-4 will focus on
field surveys and utility coordination, as well as subsurface investigations. Task #5 represents the
development of 50% engineering plans, specifications and cost estimates. Task #6 includes the
preparation and submittal of IEPA permitting documents.Task#7 brings the plans,specifications,and cost
estimate to the 100%level, incorporating regulatory and Village review comments.Task#8 covers project
coordination and work sessions as necessary throughout the duration of the design phase.
The construction phase engineering services are detailed with the Request for Proposals as four main
tasks. Task #1 covers pre-construction services, facilitating the pre-con meeting and associated
agenda/minutes, as well as a review of the Contractor's schedule. Included in Task#2 is a review of all
submittals to ensure compliance with the plans and specifications. Task #3 details the construction
observation services,which outlines approximately nine hours per day for a full-time resident engineering
with an anticipated 45-day construction schedule.Task#4 Post-Construction includes preparing a full set
of record drawings and compiling the final payment request for Village review and approval.

Scope of Services
The below Scope directly reflects the work detailed within the Village's Request for Proposals. No
exceptions are taken to the scope,aside from optional Task#9.This optional task reflects the stormwater
permitting requirements necessary through DuPage County/IDNR/USACE due to the presence of
floodway and floodplain along select portions of the route.
DESIGN PHASE ENGINEERING
Task 1—Field Reconnaissance and Base Sheets
1. Existing Right-of-Way:Establish the approximate existing right-of-way of theroadways within the
project limits based on GIS, plats of highways, subdivision plats and any other available
information.
2. Utility Survey and Coordination:Utilize GIS maps to identify the approximate location of utilities.
All existing storm and sanitary sewers will be surveyed to determine rim and invert elevations
and pipe sizes. Above ground facilities of any additional underground utilities including water
main,gas, electric, cable,etc.will also be located.
3. Tree Survey: Locate all trees over 6" inches in diameter within the existing right- of-way and
ultimately the proposed right-of-way for the project in order to assess potential tree impacts, if
any, associated with the project. The located trees will be identified by type (deciduous or
coniferous)and the size and condition determined as appropriate.
4. Base Mapping: Compile all of the above information onto aerial base maps at 1"=20' scale that
is representative of existing conditions for use as the base sheet for the construction of any
public or private improvements.
Task 2—JULIE Utility Survey
1. Coordinate with utility owners and with JULIE to retrieve atlas information for all applicable
underground utilities including water main, gas, electric, cable, etc. Compile all utility atlas
information into the base map. Locations of existing utilities/improvements/systems shown on
the base map will be the compilation of available utility plans provided by utility owners and
JULIE utility coordination.
Task 3—Geotechnical Investigation and LPC-662/663 Analysis
1. Obtain six (6) pavement cores/soil borings to determine the existing cross-section of the
pavements and subsurface soil conditions within the project area. Borings adjacent to Salt Creek
will be drilled to a depth of approximately twenty-five (25) feet. Prepare a report describing
existing soil conditions and make recommendations.
2. The soil will also be tested for potential contaminants. Perform investigation and testing work
necessary to substantiate completion of IEPA Form LPC-663 for the Village to use during
construction.This work will include collection/preservation and testing of soil samples.
