Assistance in meeting with necessary parties to effectuate the issuance of bonds, special reports, feasibility studies and other tasks.
Performance of any other duties related to the provision of infrastructure and services as requested by the District’s Board of Supervisors.
The District Engineer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, or review construction drawings and specifications for the type of work as authorized by the District's Board of Supervisors. This may also include, but is not limited to, rendering assistance in the drafting of

forms, proposal and contacts, issuance of certificates of construction and payment, assisting and/or supervising the bidding processes, and any other activity required by the District’s Board of Supervisors.
The Engineer shall, when authorized by the Board, provide general services during the construction phase including, but not limited to:
Periodic visits to the site, or full-time construction management services, as directed by the District.
Processing of contractors' pay estimates.
Final inspection and requested certificates for construction including the final certification of construction.
Consultation and advice during construction, including performing all roles and actions required of any construction contract between the District and any contractor(s) in which District Engineer is named as owner's representative or "District Engineer".
Any other activity related to construction as authorized by the District’s Board of Supervisors.
With respect to maintenance of facilities, the District Engineer shall render such services as authorized in writing by the District.

ARTICLE 2 METHOD OF AUTHORIZATION
Each service or project shall be authorized in writing by the District. The written authorization shall be incorporated in a Work Authorization that shall include the scope of work, compensation, and special provisions or conditions specific to the service or project being authorized. Authorization of services or projects under the contract shall be at the sole option of the District.

ARTICLE 3 COMPENSATION
It is understood and agreed that the payment of compensation for services under this contract shall be stipulated in each Work Authorization. One of the following methods shall be utilized.
Lump Sum Amount: The District and District Engineer shall mutually agree to a lump sum amount for the services to be rendered payable in proportion to the work accomplished.
Hourly Personnel Rates: For services or projects where scope of services is not clearly defined, or recurring services or other projects where the District desires the use of the hourly compensation rates in Schedule "A" shall remain

in effect.	On the anniversary date of this Agreement, the parties may renegotiate the fee schedule.

ARTICLE 4 REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
Reimbursable expenses consist of actual expenditures made by District Engineer, its employees, or its consultants in the interest of the project for the incidental items listed below:
Expenses of transportation and living when traveling in connection with a project, for long distance calls and facsimiles, expedited delivery fees, and fees paid for securing approval of authorities having jurisdiction over a project. All expenditures shall be made in accordance with Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and with the District's travel policy.
Expenses incurred in the reproduction, postage and handling of drawings and specifications except those used for in-house purposes.

ARTICLE 5 SPECIAL CONSULTANTS
When a special consultant is retained by District Engineer to assist in the provision of services such additional special services shall be paid for on a costs basis. Such services and fees shall be included in any work authorization.

ARTICLE 6 ACCOUNTING RECORDS
Records of District Engineer pertaining to the services provided hereunder shall be kept on a basis of generally accepted accounting principles and shall be available to the District or its authorized representative for observation or audit at mutually agreeable times.

ARTICLE 7 REUSE OF DOCUMENTS
All documents including drawings and specifications furnished by District Engineer pursuant to this Agreement are instruments of service to be used by the District. They are not intended or represented to be suitable for reuse by others or for extensions of the work for which they were provided or on any other project. Any reuse by the District without specific written consent by District Engineer will be at the District's sole risk.

ARTICLE 8 ESTIMATE OF COST
Since District Engineer has no control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment or over a contractor's methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market

conditions, his opinions of probable cost provided as a service hereunder are to be made on the basis of his experience and qualifications and represent his best judgment as a professional familiar with the construction industry, but District Engineer cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or the construction costs will not vary from opinion of probable cost prepared by it. If the District wishes greater assurance as to the construction costs, it shall employ an independent cost estimator at its own expense or may direct that such work be accomplished through the Engineer. Services to modify approved documents to bring the construction cost within any limitation established by the District will be considered additional services and may justify additional fees.

ARTICLE 9 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
In all matters relating to this Agreement, the District Engineer shall be acting as an independent contractor. Neither the District Engineer nor employees of the District Engineer, if any, are employees of the District under the meaning or application of any federal or state Unemployment or Insurance Laws or Old Age Laws or otherwise. The District Engineer agrees to assume all liabilities or obligations imposed by any one or more of such laws with respect to employees of the Engineer, if any, in the performance of this Agreement. The District Engineer shall not have any authority to assume or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the District and the District Engineer shall have no authority to represent as agent, employee, or in any other capacity the District unless set forth differently herein.

Beginning with the 2024 Form 1, District Supervisors will be required to confirm that they have completed the training each year.
