EXHIBIT "B" Page 1 of 1 TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO AGREEMENT ARTICLE 1. SERVICES: "LAB" will: 1.1 Provide only those services requested by "CITY ENGINEER" that, in the opinion of "LAB ", lie within the technical or professional areas of expertise of "LAB" and which "LAB" is adequately staffed and equipped to perform. 1.2 Perform technical services under the supervision of a licensed professional engineer and in compliance with the basic requirements of the appropriate standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials, where applicable, and other standards designated in writing by the "CITY ENGINEER." 1.3 Promptly submit formal reports (printed and electronic copies) of tests, inspections and services performed indicating, where applicable, compliance with the PROJECT specifications or other contract documents. Such reports must be complete and factual, citing the tests performed, methods employed, values obtained, and parts of the structure of THE PROJECT area subjected to any testing. 1.4 Utilize testing equipment which has been calibrated according to applicable standards and, upon request, submit to the "CITY ENGINEER ", or his authorized representative, documentation of such calibration. Secure representative samples of those materials that the City's Contractor proposes to use which require testing, together with relevant data concerning such materials including the point of origin and supplier. 1.5 Consider reports to be confidential, and distribute reports only to those persons, organizations or agencies specifically designated in writing by the "CITY ENGINEER ". 1.6 Retain records relating to services performed for "CITY" for a period of two years following submission of any reports, during which period the records will be made available to the "CITY" at all reasonable times. 1.7 Pay salaries, wages, expenses, social security taxes, federal and state unemployment taxes, and any other similar payroll taxes relating to the services. ARTICLE 2. CITY RESPONSIBILITIES: City Engineer or authorized representative will: 2.1 Provide "LAB" with all plans, specifications, addenda, change orders, approved shop drawings and other information for the proper performance of services by "LAB ". 2.2 Issue authorization in writing giving "LAB" free access to THE PROJECT site, and to all shops or yards where materials are prepared or stored. 2.3 Designate in writing those persons or firms which will act as the "CITY's" representative with respect to "LAB'S" services to be performed under this AGREEMENT and which must be promptly notified by "LAB" when it appears that materials tested or inspected are in non - compliance. Only the "CITY ENGINEER" or his designated representative have authority to transmit instructions, receive information and data, interpret and define the CITY's policies and decisions with respect to THE PROJECT. "LAB" acknowledges that certain "CITY" representatives may have different types of authority concerning THE PROJECT. 2.4 Advise "LAB" sufficiently in advance of any operations so as to allow for assignment of personnel by "LAB" for completion of the required services. Such advance notice will be in accordance with that established by mutual agreement of the parties. EXHIBIT "C" Page 1 of 3 2.5 Direct THE PROJECT contractor, either by the Construction Contract or direct written order to: (a) Stop work at the appropriate times for "LAB" to perform contracted services; (b) Furnish such labor and all facilities needed by "LAB" to obtain and handle samples at THE .PROJECT and to facilitate the specified inspection and tests; (c) Provide and maintain for use of "LAB" adequate space at THE PROJECT for safe storage and proper curing of test specimens which must remain on THE PROJECT site prior to, during, and up to 60 days after testing. ARTICLE 3. GENERAL CONDITIONS 3.1 "LAB ", by the performance of services covered hereunder, does not in any way assume, abridge or abrogate any of those duties, responsibilities or authorities with regard to THE PROJECT which, by custom or contract, are vested in THE PROJECT architects, design engineers, or any other design agencies or authorities. 3.2 "LAB" is not authorized to supervise, alter, relax, enlarge or release any requirement of THE PROJECT specifications or other contract documents nor to approve or accept any portion of the work. "LAB" does not have the right of rejection or the right to stop the work. "CITY ENGINEER" will direct THE PROJECT contractor to stop work at appropriate times for "LAB" to conduct the sampling, testing, or inspection of operations covered by the AGREEMENT. ARTICLE 4. FIELD MONITORING AND TESTING 4.1 "CITY" and "LAB" agree that "LAB" will be on -site to perform inspections for contracted services. The "CITY and "LAB" also agree that "LAB" will not assume responsibility for PROJECT Contractor's means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, and it is understood that the final services provided by "LAB" will not relieve the PROJECT Contractor of his responsibilities for performing the work in accordance with THE PROJECT plans and specifications. For the purposes of this AGREEMENT, the word "inspection" is used to mean periodic observation of the work and the conducting of tests by "LAB" as specified in the AGREEMENT. Continuous monitoring by "LAB" or its subcontractors does not mean that "LAB" is approving placement of materials. Inspection is not and should not be construed to be a warranty by "LAB" to the "CITY" or any other party. 4.2 Samples collected or tested by "LAB" remain the property of the "CITY" while in the custody of the "LAB ". "LAB" will retain the samples for a period of 60 days following the date of submission of any report related to the sample. Following the retention period, "LAB" will dispose of non- hazardous samples, and return hazardous, acutely toxic, or radioactive samples and samples containers and residues to "CITY ". "CITY" agrees to accept such samples and samples containers. ARTICLE 5. STANDARD OF CARE AND WARRANTY Services performed by "LAB" will be conducted in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by reputable members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the same locality. No other warranty either expressed or implied is made or intended by the AGREEMENT or any reports. "LAB" will not be responsible for the interpretation or use by others of data developed by "LAB ". ARTICLE 6. SAFETY "CITY" and "LAB" agree that, in accordance with the generally accepted construction practice, the PROJECT'S general contractor will be solely and completely responsible for working conditions on THE PROJECT, including safety of all persons and property during the performance of the work, and for EXHIBIT "C" page compliance with all municipal, state, and federal laws, rules and regulations, including OSHA. The duty of "LAB" in providing services is not, therefore, to include any review of, or responsibility for, the adequacy of the PROJECT'S general contractor's safety measures in, on, or near THE PROJECT site. ARTICLE 7. INVOICES AND PAYMENT "LAB" will submit progress invoices to "CITY ENGINEER" monthly and final invoice upon completion of services. Each invoice is due and payable by "CITY" within 30 days of receipt and approval to pay by the City Engineer. ARTICLE 8. EXTENT OF AGREEMENT 8.1 This AGREEMENT, including Exhibit. "A" and these terms and conditions, represents the entire AGREEMENT between "CITY" and "LAB" and supersedes all prior negotiation, representations or agreements, written or oral. This AGREEMENT may be amended only by a written instrument signed by duly authorized representative of "CITY" and "LAB ". If any conflict occurs between these terms and conditions and this AGREEMENT, these terms and conditions are controlling. 8.2 In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this AGREEMENT are for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining terms will be in full effect and this AGREEMENT will be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable matters were never included in this AGREEMENT. No waiver of any default will be a waiver of any future default. 8.3 Neither party will assign this AGREEMENT without the express written approval of the other, but "LAB" may subcontract laboratory procedures as "LAB" deems necessary to meet the obligations of this AGREEMENT. r mw � 7ge HIBIT "C" 3o f3 COMPLETE PROJECT NAME Project No. XXXX Invoice No. 12345 Invoice Date: Basic Services: Investigations & Analysis Report Additional Services: Testing & Inspection Subtotal Additional Services Summary of Fees Basic Services Fees Additional Services Fees Total of Fees Total Amount Previous Total Percent Contract Amd No. 1 Amd No, 2 Contract Invoiced Invoice Invoice ComDlete $1,000 $0 $0 $1,000 $0 $1,000 $1,000 100% 2,000 1,000 0 3,000 1,000 500 1,500 50% $3,000 $1,000 $0 $4,000 $750 $1,500 $2,500 63% $2,000 $0 $0 $2,000 $500 $0 $500 25% $2,000 $0 $0 $2,000 $500 $0 $500 25% $3,000 $1,000 $0 $4,000 $750 $1,500 $2,500 63% 2,000 0 0 2,000 500 0 500 25% $5,000 $1,000 $0 $6,000 $1,250 $1,500 $3;000 50% CONTRACT FOR TESTING SERVICES AGREEMENTS EXHIBIT "D" Page 1 OF 1 Last Revision: June 2012 SUPPLIER NUMBER TO BE ASSIGNED BY - CTrY -- PURCHASING DIVISION 4 o CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI us DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST City of Carpus Christi Ordinance 17112, as amended, requires all persons or firms seeking to do business with the City to provide the following information.
