'..-..".-.
._~-,,'-"-"-'"""--"----""-"" -"..~".,.. ,"--~"",.~-"-"~'_"''''-
The ENGINEER is not obligated to incur costs beyond the indicated budgets,
as may be adjusted, or is the OWNER obligated to pay the ENGINEER beyond
these limits.
When any budget has been increased, the ENGINEER's excess costs expended
prior to such increase will be allowable to the same extent as if such costs had
been incurred after the approved increase.
C. Salary Costs
SaIary Costs are the amount of wages or salaries paid ENGINEER's empIoyees
for work directly performed on the PROJECf plus a percentage applied to
all such wages or salaries to cover all payroll-related taxes, payments, premiums,
and benefits.
D. Direct Expenses
Direct Expenses are those costs incurred on or directly for the PROJECf
including, but not limited to, necessary transportation costs, including current
rates for ENGINEER's vehicles; meals and lodging; laboratory tests and analyses;
computer services; word processing services; telephone, printing, binding, and
reproduction charges; all costs associated with outside consuItants, and other

C. Funds
OWNER certifies that $250,000 is availabIe and authorized for expenditure
pursuant to this AGREEMENT in fiscaI year 1990/91. The funds needed for
the balance of the AGREEMENT are subject to the fiscal year 1991/92 budget
processes. If sufficient funds are not budgeted, the City may immediately
terminate this AGREEMENT by giving written notice of termination to the
ENGINEER. The ENGINEER shall not be entitled to compensation for any
work performed after the date of such written termination notice.
ARTICLE 4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE ENGINEER
A. Standard of Care
The standard of care applicabIe to ENGINEER's services will be the degree
of skill and diligence normally empIoyed by professional engineers or consultants
performing the same or similar services. The ENGINEER will reperform any
services not meeting this standard without additional compensation.
B. Subsurface Investigations
In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations, the actual
characteristics may vary significantly between successive test points and sample
intervals and at locations other than where observations, explorations, and
investigations have been made. Because of the inherent uncertainties in
subsurface evaluations, changed or unanticipated underground conditions may
occur that could affect total PROJECT cost and/or execution. These conditions
and cost/execution effects are not the responsibility of the ENGINEER.
C. ENGINEER's Personnel at Construction Site
The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction site,
whether as onsite representatives or otherwise, do not make the ENGINEER
or its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that belong to the
OWNER and/or the construction contractors or other entities, and do not relieve
the construction contractors or any other entity of their obligations, duties, and
responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all construction methods, means,
techniques, sequences, and procedures necessary for coordinating and compIeting
all portions of the construction work in accordance with the Contract Documents
and any health or safety precautions required by such construction work. The
ENGINEER and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over
any construction contractor or other entity or their employees in connection
with their work or any health or safety precautions and have no duty for
inspecting, noting, observing, correcting, or operating on health or safety
3
pdx754/017.51
deficiencies of the construction contractor or other entity or any other persons
at the site except ENGINEER's own personnel.
D. Opinions of Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility projections,
and schedules for the PROJECf, the ENGINEER has no controI over cost
or price of labor and materials; unknown or latent conditions of existing
equipment or structures that may affect operation or maintenance costs;
competitive bidding procedures and market conditions; time or quality of
performance by third parties; quality, type, management, or direction of
operation personnel; and other economic and operational factors that may
materially affect the ultimate PROJECf cost or schedule. Therefore, the
ENGINEER makes no warranty that the OWNER's actuaI PROJECf costs,
financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules wilI not vary from the
ENGINEER's opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.
E. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the OWNER for periodic construction
progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling that
the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such recommendations do not
represent that continuous or detailed examinations have been made by the
ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction contractor has completed the
work in exact accordance with the contract documents; that the final work will
be acceptable in all respects; that the ENGINEER has made an examination
to ascertain how or for what purpose the construction contractor has used the
moneys paid; that title to any of the work, materiaIs, or equipment has passed
to OWNER free and clear of liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances;
or that there are not other matters at issue between OWNER and the
construction contractor that affect the amount that should be paid.
F. Record Drawings
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of
information compiled and furnished by others, and may not always represent
the exact location, type of various components, or exact manner in which the
PROJECf was finally constructed. The ENGINEER is not responsible for
any errors or omissions in the information from others that is incorporated into
the record drawings.

on the PROJECf. Firms selected by the ENGINEER to meet said directives
will be subject to approval of the OWNER.
H. Access to ENGINEER's Accounting Records
The ENGINEER will maintain accounting records, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and practices, to substantiate all invoiced
amounts. These records will be available to OWNER during ENGINEER's
normal business hours for a period of 1 year after ENGINEER's final invoice
for examination to the extent required to verify the direct costs (excluding
established or standard allowances and rates) incurred hereunder. The OWNER
may only audit accounting records applicable to a cost-reimbursable type of
compensation.

DEVELOPMENT, EVALUATION, AND ANALYSIS
TASK Fl--DEFINITION OF SERVICE AREA
Objective
Consider two service areas, the Woodburn Utility Service Area and a Regional Service
Area. The Regional Service Area would be considered for sludge handling, septage
receiving, and laboratory services only. Use cooperatively collected data and City-provided
aerial photographs to identify the service study area. Estimate the selected service area's
growth potential.
Woodburn Utility Service Area (WUSA)
The WUSA will include the current area inside Woodburn's Urban Growth Boundary
(UGB) and areas outside the UGB which could reasonably be served by the Woodburn
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Areas identified by the City are the mobile home park north
of MacLaren and a potential industrial area west of 1-5.
Comprehensive Plan projections for land use and population densities of undeveloped
areas will be used for the Woodburn area. City planning staff will provide population
and land use inventories for existing and future service areas. Planning area characteristics
(such as soils, rainfall, topography, etc.) will be based on the summary in the October 1976
Facilities Plan and updated to reflect current conditions. The residential, commercial,
and industrial population equivalents (PE) projections from the January 6, 1987, Woodburn
Facilities Capital Improvements Plan data will be used unless otherwise modified by the
City of Woodburn.

block rates). The City of Woodburn and CH2M HILL understand that
the purpose of developing rate alternatives is to provide the City flexibility
in the rates it considers for implementation, given the advantages and
disadvantages of the various options. All rate alternatives will be consistent
with cost-of-service principles, unless direction otherwise is given by the
City of Woodburn. Additional alternatives beyond the two provided for
the City shall be considered beyond the scope of this agreement and subject
to further negotiations. Rate alternatives shall be defined and differences
in rate structure or rate methodology shall not be considered as alternatives
unless such modifications require an additional draft report or an additional
final report. CH2M HILL will also calculate one system development
charge alternative for the utility. These development charges will be
determined using the methodology selected in Tasks Rl.4 and R2.5.
R2.50 Determine system development charges for the utility.
The charges will be determined in accordance with recent legislation
specifying the requirements for these charges and the options on which
they are based. CH2M HILL will review the options with the City of
Woodburn and select the option most appropriate for the City's circum-
stances.
