RE: WELD BUSINESS PARK

Dear Pat:
The purpose of this letter is to submit a proposal for the construction document work
required in order to irrigate the Weld Business Park with raw water.
It is our understanding that the project consists of:
• well construction specifications
• pump station design
• mainline infrastructure design
• CSI format construction specifications
• electrical design for pump and pump house lighting
The following information or services are to be supplied by others before work begins
or as work progresses:

a bearing on our work
• irrigation design or as-built drawings (should they exist)

We propose a budget of $14,850. for preparation of the complete (biddable)
construction document package including miscellaneous expenses for telephone and
mileage. This budget would not be exceeded without your authorization and direction.
After construction documents are completed, we propose an hourly budget of 120
hours at an average billing rate of $75/hour, or $9,000, to provide construction
observation during the construction period. Our normal involvement during
construction would include a pre-bid conference, a pre-construction conference,
material submittal review, impromptu site visits during construction, on call support to
Weld County's project manager, and a final walk through and performance evaluation
of the completed pump station.
•
If both construction documents and construction observation are to be provided, we
would request a total budget of $23,850.
The following General Conditions apply to Aqua Engineering's work:
1) Scope of Work Changes:A reasonable amount of coordination is anticipated for the work. Coordination,design,and
drafting are estimated on an hourly basis. If the scope of work changes through concerns of the Client or base information
changes are made which impact the irrigation design,the additional work or coordination will be charged on an hourly basis
following approval by the Client.
2) Termination or Suspension of Work:If the scope-of-work delineated is abandoned or suspended in whole or in part,
Aqua Engineering is to be paid for services performed on such work prior to receipt of written notice to cease work,together
with any terminal expense resulting from cessation of work.
3) Construction Observation:Aqua Engineering will not be responsible for and will not have control or charge of
construction means,methods,techniques,sequences or procedures,equipment or product failures,or for safety
_.. . _.._ . . precautions and pi*grams in cot,sAion with the wui k. Aqua Eugooeering will not be responsible for or have control or
charge over the acts or omissions of the Contractor,Subcontractors,or any of their agents or employees,or any other
persons performing any of the work. If Aqua Engineering is not contracted to visit the site during the course of
construction,the Client will hold Aqua Engineering harmless in the event that construction does not conform to the
construction documents,or the construction documents are misinterpreted.
4) Limitation of Liability:To the fullest extent permitted by law,AEI's total liability to Client,Owner and any third parties for
any and all injuries,claims,losses,expenses,damages or claims expenses arising out of this agreement from any cause or
causes,shall not exceed the dollar value of work contracted herein.Such causes include but are not limited to AEI's
negligent acts,errors,and omissions.
5) Ownership of Documents: Client acknowledges that any construction documents prepared for this specific project will
not be reused for other projects. Client agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Aqua Engineering against all damages,
claims,and losses including defense costs,arising out of reuse of any part of the construction documents without the
written authorization of Aqua Engineering.
6) Billing:Aqua Engineering's normal billing period ends at the close of each month,or at the completion of each work phase.
Payment is due and payable within 30 days of invoice date. Past due amounts will accrue interest in the amount of 2%per
month until payment is made,plus any attorneys'fees.
7) Reimbursable Expenses: Miscellaneous expenses,such as mileage,bluelines,photocopying,computer supplies,and
long distance telephone charges are reimbursable at direct cost.

8) Purchase Orders:Issuance of a purchase order in response to this proposal shall constitute acceptance of these General
Conditions whether or not the proposal is specifically referenced on the purchase order.
9) Opinion of Probable Construction Costs:Since Aqua Engineering has no control over the cost of labor,materials,or
equipment,or over Contractor's method of determining prices,or over competitive bidding or market conditions,the
opinions of probable construction cost that may be provided for herein are made on the basis of experience. These
opinions represent the best judgement of a design professional familiar with the construction industry. However,Aqua
Engineering cannot,and does not,guarantee that proposals,bids,or the construction cost will not vary from opinions of
probable cost prepared as a part of the work.
The construction document work proposed can be completed within six to ten weeks
after receiving authorization to proceed.
If you are in agreement with the above, please return one copy of this proposal signed
by an authorized representative, and we will be available to proceed as required. This
document governs our arrangements unless otherwise modified in writing.
We look forward to our work with you.
