Proposal No. 4-3451.0 February 15, 2017
City of Waukee 2017 Testing Contract
Waukee IA
TEAM SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PAYMENT TERMS ±Payment is due upon receipt of our invoice. If payment is not received within thirty days from the invoice date, Client agrees to pay a finance charge on
the principal amount of the past due account of one and on-half percent per month. If one and one-half percent per month exceeds the maximum allowed by law, the charge
shall automatically be reduced to the maximum legally allowable. Client agrees to pay all costs associated with collection of overdue invoices, including reasonable attorney¶s
fees.
In the event Client requests termination of the services prior to completion, a termination charge in an amount not the exceed thirty per cent of all charges incurred through the
date services are stopped plus any shutdown costs may, at the discretion of TEAM Services, be made. If during the execution of the services, TEAM Services is required to
stop operations as a result of changes in the scope of services such as requests by the Client or requirements of third parties, additional charges will be applicable.
INSURANCE ±TEAM Services maintains Worker¶s Compensation and Employer¶s liability Insurance in conformance with applicable state law. In addition we maintain
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance and Automobile Liability Insurance with limits of $1,000,000/$1,000,000. A certificate of insurance can be supplied evidencing such
coverage which contains a clause providing that ten days written notice be given prior to cancellation. Cost of the above coverage is included in our quoted fees. If additional
coverage or increased limits of liability are required, TEAM Services will endeavor to obtain the requested insurance and charge separately for costs associated with additional
coverage or increased limits. TEAM Services shall maintain professional and pollution liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 (claims made basis).
STANDARD OF CARE ±The only warranty or guarantee made by TEAM Services in connection with the services performed hereunder, is that we will use that degree of care
and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by reputable members of our profession practicing in the same or similar locality. No other warranty, expressed or implied,
is made or intended by our proposal for consulting services or by our furnishing oral or written reports.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY ±Client agrees that TEAM Services¶liability of any damage on account of any error, omission or other professional negligence will be limited to a
sum not to exceed $50,000 or TEAM Services fee, whichever is greater. If client prefers to have higher limits on professional liability TEAM Services agrees to increase the
limits up to a maximum of $1,000,000 upon Client¶s written request at the time of accepting our proposal provided that Client agrees to Pay an additional consideration of two
percent of our total fee, or $200, whichever is greater. The additional charge for the higher liability limits is because of the greater risk assumed and is not strictly a charge for
additional professional liability insurance.
SAMPLING OR TESTING LOCATION ±The fees included in this proposal do not include costs associated with surveying of the site or the accurate horizontal and vertical
locations of tests. Field tests or boring locations described in TEAM Services¶report or shown on sketches are based on specific information furnished by others or statements
made in the field by our technicians. Such dimensions, depths or elevations should be considered as approximations unless otherwise stated in the report.
RIGHT-OF-ENTRY ±Unless otherwise agreed, Client will furnish right of entry on the property for us to make the planned borings, surveys, tests, and/or explorations. We will
take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the property caused by our operations, but we have not included in our fee the cost of restoration of damage which may
results. If Client desires us to restore the property to its former condition, we will accomplish this and add the cost to our fee.
DAMAGE TO EXISTING MANMADE OBECTS ±It shall be the responsibility of the Client or his duly authorized representative to disclose the presence and accurate location
of all hidden or obscure man-made objects relative to field tests or boring locations. TEAM Services¶field personnel are trained to recognize clearly identifiable stakes or
markings in the field and without special written instructions to initiate field testing, drilling, and/or sampling within a reasonable distance of each designated location. If TEAM
Services is cautioned, advised or given data in writing that reveal the presence or potential presence of underground or overground obstructions, such as utilities, TEAM
Services will give special instructions to its field personnel. As evidenced by Client¶s acceptance of this proposal, Client agrees to indemnify and save harmless from all claims,
suits, losses, personal injuries, death and property liability resulting from unusual subsurface conditions or damages to subsurface structures, owned by Client or third parties,
occurring in the performance of the proposed services, whose presence and exact locations were not revealed to TEAM Services in writing, and to reimburse TEAM Services
for expenses in connection with any such claims or suits, including reasonable attorney¶s fees.
SAMPLE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT ±Unless otherwise requested, test specimens or samples will be disposed of immediately upon completion of tests, and drilling samples or
other specimens will be disposed of 60 days after submission of our report. Upon written request, TEAM Services will retain test specimens or drilling samples for a mutually
acceptable storage charge and period of time.
OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS ±All documents, including, but not limited to, drawings, specifications, reports, boring logs, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations and
estimates, prepared by TEAM Services are instruments of service pursuant to this Agreement, shall be the sole property of TEAM Services. Client agrees that all documents of
any nature furnished to Client or Client¶s agents or designees, if not paid for, will be returned upon demand and will not be used by Client for any purpose whatsoever. Client
further agrees that under no circumstances shall any documents produced by, pursuant to this Agreement, be used at any location or for any project not expressly provided for
in this Agreement without the written permission of TEAM Services. At the request and expense of Client, TEAM Services will provide Client with copies of documents created
in performance of the work for a period not exceeding five years following submission of the report contemplated by this Agreement.
SAFETY ±Should TEAM Services provide periodic observations or monitoring services at the job site during construction, Client agrees that in accordance with generally
accepted construction practices, the contractor will be solely and completely responsible for working conditions on the job site, including safely of all persons and property
during the performance of the work and compliance with OSHA regulations, and that these requirements will apply continuously and not be limited to normal working hours. Any
monitoring of the contractor¶s procedures conducted by TEAM Services is not intended to include review of the adequacy of the contractor¶s safely measures in, on, adjacent to,
or near the construction site.
SITE VISITS ±Client agrees that TEAM Services will not be expected to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections but that periodic observations appropriate to the
construction stage shall be performed. It is further agreed that TEAM Services will not assume responsibility for the contractor¶s means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures of construction, and it is understood that field services provide by TEAM Services will not relieve the contractor of his responsibilities for performing the work in
accordance with the plans and specifications. The words ³supervision, ³³inspection,´or ³control´are used to mean periodic observation of the work and the conducting of tests
by TEAM Services to verify substantial compliance with the plans, specifications and design concepts. Continuous inspections by our employees does not mean that TEAM
Services is observing placement of all materials. Full-time inspections means that an employee of TEAM Services has been assigned for eight-hour days during regular
business hours.
GOVERNING LAW ±This agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Iowa.
