Trucking Co., Inc., (2) Chuck Jardina Sand, (3) K. M. Rumsey Trucking, (4) Baytown Sand & Clay, and (5) Anahuac Towing & Shell Co., Inc. Bidders were asked to submit delivered pricing for bank sand conforming to Texas Highway Dept. Specification 44131, Type A, Select Borrow, Bank Sand. Sand will be ordered on an as needed basis by City personnel for backfilling purposes in full truckload quantities with 24-hour response time required. The City of La Porte currently pays $4.75 per cubic yard and purchases bank sand on a hand to mouth basis. Low bid was submitted by R.S.H. Trucking Co., Inc. in the amount of $4.45 per cubic yard, a response time of 2 hours after receipt of order, and payment terms of Net 30 days. R.S.H. Trucking indicates they own twelve (12) trucks and have demonstrated the capacity to service the City of La Porte. I recommend that the City of La Porte award a one-year supply agreement for bank sand to R.S.H. Trucking Co., Inc. on the basis of lowest, most responsible and responsive bidder. I also recommend the City of La Porte sign a contingency supply agree- ment with second low bidder Baytown Sand and Clay Co. in the amount of $4.50 per cubic yard should low bidder be unable to perform during the term of the contract.

In the event that proposals for construction of any of the work authorized in the Design Phase are received within 90 days after submission of completed Contract Drawings and specifications to the City by the Engineer, the charge for the corresponding services in ,; the Design Phase and the charge for the corresponding services in the Preliminary Phase shall be adjusted to. the "construction cost" as reflected by the lowest acceptable proposal, or lowest bona fide bid, if contract is not awarded. Where no proposals or bona fide bids are•received within 90 days after submission of completed Contract Drawings and specifications, the Engineer's estimates shall be the basis for final payment for these two phases. No reduction shall be made from the percentage charge on account of penalties or liquidated damages or other sums withheld from contractor's payments. A. Preliminary Phase Payment for services in the Preliminary Phase shall be made to the Engineer in a sum equal to a percentage of the "construc- tion cost" of the work authorized by the City in this Phase of the Project, as determined by multiplying the Basic Charge in -7- • • percent (defined by Enclosure A, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof) by the factor 0.25. The classification of the construction work (Curve "A" or "B") for the purpose of applying the alternate Basic Charge is that given in Section 3 of the current General Engineering Services Manual of the Consulting Engineers Council of Texas and the Texas Society of Professional Engineers (which Section 3 is here adopted by reference as part of this Agreement). Partial payments for services in the Preliminary Phase shall be made monthly, based on the Engineer's estimate of the "construction cost" of the work. Payments will be made in pro- portion to that part of the services in the Preliminary Phase which has been accomplished, as evidenced by monthly statements submitted by the Engineer to the City. Final payment for ser- vices in the Preliminary Phase shall be payable upon submission to the City of the required report, sketches, and estimates, and upon his acceptance, which shall be within 90 days after submission. B. Design Phase Payment for services in the Design Phase shall be made to the Engineer in a sum equal to a percentage of the "construction cost" of the work authorized by the City in this Phase of the Project, as determined by multiplying the Basic Charge in per- cent (defined by Enclosure A, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof) by the factor of 0.60. The classification of the construction work (Curve "A" or "e") for the purpose of applying the alternate Basic Charge is that given in Section 3 of the current General Engineering Services Manual of the Consulting Engineers Council of Texas and the Texas Society of Professional Engineers (which Section 3 is here adopted by reference as part of this Agreement). Partial payments for services in the Design Phase shall be made monthly, based on the Engineer's estimate of the -8- C~ "construction cost" of the work. U Payments will be made in pro- portion to that part of the services in the Design Phase which has been accomplished, as evidenced by monthly statements sub- mitted by the Engineer to the City. Final payment for services authorized in the Design Phase shall be due upon the completion of these services. C. Construction Phase Payment for services in the Construction Phase shall be made to the Engineer in a sum equal to a percentage of the "construc- tion cost" of the work authorized by the City in this Phase of the Project, as determined by multiplying the Basic Charge in percent .(defined by Enclosure A, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof) by the factor 0.15. The classification of the construction work (Curve "A" or "B") for the purpose of applying the alternate Basic Charge is that given in Section 3 of the current General Engineering Services Manual of the Consulting Engineers Council of Texas and the Texas Society of Professional Engineers (which Section 3 is here adopted by reference as part bf this Agreement). This sum will be paid in monthly installments in proportion to the construction work completed, on the basis of the Engi- neer's estimates prepared for monthly payments to contractors, plug the actual value of all materials and equipment purchased or furnished directly by the City for the Project. Upon comple- tion of all work authorized in the Construction Phase, the Engi- veer will be paid the remainder of the charge for this Phase. D.

Payments to the Engineer for authorized services not in the percentage charges will be made monthly, by the City, upon presentation of monthly statements by the Engineer of such services. "Salary Cost" is defined as the cost of salaries (total hours worked times the employees rate of pay on an hourly basis) of the Engineer's employees for time directly changeable to the Project, plus 27 percent for social security contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll taxes, employ- ment compensation insurance, retirement benefits, incentive pay, medical and insurance benefits, sick leave, vacation, and holiday pay applicable thereto. The "Salary Cost" for the services of the Engineer's officers shall be at their regular "Salary Cost," as defined above, not to exceed 540.00 per hour. In addition, an overtime premium for draftsmen and technician classifications will be charged for which the Engineer's tech- nical staff works in excess of 40 hours. The overtime premium shall be one-half the employee's Salary Cost times 2.25. The -12- • ~ • overtime premium will be charged only because of the City's requirements and upon its specific authorization. Should the City fail to make payment to the Engineer of the sum named in any partial or final statement when payment is past due for more than 30 days, then the City shall pay to the Engi- neer, in addition to the sum shown as due by such statement, interest thereon at the rate of 12 percent per annum from the date due, as provided herein, until fully paid, which shall fully liquidate any injury to the Engineer arising from such delay in payment, but the right is expressly reserved to the Engineer in event payments are not promptly made as provided herein, at any time thereafter to treat the Agreement as terminated by the City and recover compensation as provided by Section IX of this Agreement. The City agrees that the Engineer's liability for the negli- Bence, error, omission, or breach of warranty in the preparation of designs and drawings, the designation or selection of mate- rials and equipment,~the selection and supervision of Project Representatives and other personnel, or the performance of any other services pursuant to this Agreement, shall in no event exceed the amount of the total compensation received by the Engineer for services rendered under this Agreement. SECTION VII REVISION TO DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS The Engineer will make, without expense to the City, such revi- sions of the preliminary drawings as may be required to meet the needs of the City, but after a definite plan has been approved by the City, if a decision is subsequently made by the City which, for its proper execution, involves extra services and expenses for changes in, or addition to the drawings, specifications, or other documents, - or if the Engineer is put to labor or expense~by delays imposed on him from causes not within his control, such as by (but not limited to) the readvertisement of bids or by°the delinquency or insolvency -13- • • of contractors, the Engineer shall be compensated for such extra ser- vices and expense, which services and expense shall not be considered as covered by the percentage fee stipulated in this Agreement. Compensation for such extra services shall be at salary cost times a multiplier of 2.25, and reimbursement for direct nonlabor expense and subcontract expense at invoice cost plus a 10 percent service charge. SECTION VIII OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS Original documents, plans, designs, and survey notes developed in connection with services performed hereunder belong to, and remain the property of the City, in consideration of which it is mutually agreed that the City will use them solely in connection with the Project, save with the express consent of the Engineer. The Engineer may retain reproducible copies of such documents. SECTION IX TERMINATION Either party to this~Agreement may terminate the Agreement by giving to the other 30 days' notice in writing. Upon delivery of such notice by the City to the Engineer, and upon expiration of the 30-day period, the Engineer shall discontinue all services in connec- tion with the performance of this Agreement and shall proceed to cancel promptly all existing orders and contracts insofar as such orders or-contracts are chargeable to this Agreement. As soon as practicable after receipt of notice of termination, the Engineer shall submit a statement, showing in detail the services performed under this Agreement to the date of termination. The City shall then pay the Engineer promptly that proportion of the prescribed charges which the services called for under this Agreement, less such pay- ments on account of the charges as have been previously made. Copies - of all completed or partially completed designs, plans, and specifi- cations prepared under this Agreement shall be. delivered to the City when and if this Agreement is terminated, but subject to the restric- tions, as to their use, as set forth in Section VIII. -14- • SECTION X ADDRESS OF NOTICES AND COMMUNICATIONS • All notices and communications under this Agreement to be mailed or delivered to Engineer shall be to the following address: Turner Collie & Braden Inc.

The Basic Service Compensation in percent covers all three phases of service for a project to be designed for construction.The following allocation of the Basic Service Compensation generally applies: Preliminary and Design Phase ...... 85 percent Construction Phase ............... 15 percent Total Basic Service Compensation 100 percent A definite allocation between the Preliminary Phase and the Design Phase cannot be rigorously established, since the Preliminary services required vary considerably from project to project. As a general rule, however, the Preliminary Phase constitutes from 10 to 40 percent of the total Basic Service Compensation. . For each separate phase, the compensation percentage is applicable to the construction cost of the work handled in that phase. The con- struction cost amount may vary from one phase to the next, depending upon the work authorized by the Client. Similarly, the compensation percentage from the curves is normally applicable to each construction contract for which separate designs and contract documents are to be prepared, or where different fields of construction are involved. . • • ~-..... ..::l1 ::~ :Ii 7i .i...i 1.-V :7: f:i3~ ~7 vl.j3 APPLICABILITY. Normally used for projects to be designed for con- struction where there is a reasonable relationship between construction cost and the engineering cost of design. The Basic Charge in percent covers those services described in Section II as the Basic Services. The Special Services for a project to be designed for construction are usually furnished directly by the Client, or by the Consulting Engineer, on the basis of salary cost times a multiplier. For the Special Services, the multiplier varies from 3.0 to 2.0. Direct non-labor costs for Special Services are reimbursed at invoice cost plus a nominal surcharge for handling. USE OF CURVES. The curves of median compensation which follow are a plot of the compensation for Basic Services in percent versus the construction cost of the work authorized at one time by the Client. They represent median compensation; the appropriate compensation for any given assignment may vary above or below these curves, depending upon the relative complexity and various other factors.** It is emphasized that the curves should ogly be used to compare historical composite experience with compensation determined by detailed cost analysis for any specific assignment. The curves should not be used to fix or deter- mine such compensation. Curves A and B, page 15, are the current version of those prepared by the American Society of Civil Engineers for general engineering works, and reflect the composite experience and judgment of Consulting Engi- neers throughout the United States, as indicated by responses to a de- tailed questionnaire. ~ • Curve C, page 17, applies to project types which experience has demon- strated require relatively higher engineering cost per construction dollar. Alterations and changes to existing structures and facilities necessitate substantially more engineering services than new work. Basic compen- sation for alteration work should be increased by at least one-third above the median compensation illustrated by the curves. ~ o m ~~ Y ~ Y A ~ ~ M c gj~ ~ ..
