V. Payment Provisions

and Fixed Fee (Profit). The CONSULTANT shall be paid by the AGENCY for work done, based upon the
negotiated hourly rates shown in Exhibits “D” and “E” attached hereto and by reference made part of this
AGREEMENT. These negotiated hourly rates will be accepted based on a review of the CONSULTANT’s
direct labor rates and indirect cost rate computations and agreed upon fixed fee. The accepted negotiated
rates shall be memorialized in a final written acknowledgment between the parties. Such final written
acknowledgment shall be incorporated into, and become a part of, this AGREEMENT. The initially accepted
negotiated rates shall be applicable from the approval date, as memorialized in a final written
acknowledgment, to 180 days following the CONSULTANT’s fiscal year end (FYE) date.

renegotiations for each subsequent twelve (12) month period (180 days following FYE date to 180 days
following FYE date) upon written request of the CONSULTANT or the AGENCY. The written request must
be made to the other party within ninety (90) days following the CONSULTANT’s FYE date. If no such
written request is made, the current direct (raw) labor rates and classifications as shown on Exhibits “D” and
“E” will remain in effect for the twelve (12) month period.
Conversely, if a timely request is made in the manner set forth above, the parties will commence negotiations
to determine the new direct (raw) labor rates and classifications that will be applicable for the twelve (12
month period. Any agreed to renegotiated rates shall be memorialized in a final written acknowledgment
between the parties. Such final written acknowledgment shall be incorporated into, and become a part of, this
AGREEMENT. If requested, the CONSULTANT shall provide current payroll register and classifications to
aid in negotiations. If the parties cannot reach an agreement on the direct (raw) labor rates and classifications,
the AGENCY shall perform an audit of the CONSULTANT’s books and records to determine the
CONSULTANT’s actual costs. The audit findings will establish the direct (raw) labor rates and
classifications that will applicable for the twelve (12) month period.
The fixed fee as identified in Exhibits “D” and “E” shall represent a value to be applied throughout the life of
the AGREEMENT.
The CONSULTANT shall submit annually to the AGENCY an updated indirect cost rate within 180 days of
the close of its fiscal year. An approved updated indirect cost rate shall be included in the current fiscal year
rate under this AGREEMENT, even if/when other components of the hourly rate are not renegotiated. These
rates will be applicable for the twelve (12) month period. At the AGENCY’s option, a provisional and/or
conditional indirect cost rate may be negotiated. This provisional or conditional indirect rate shall remain in
effect until the updated indirect cost rate is completed and approved. Indirect cost rate costs incurred during
the provisional or conditional period will not be adjusted. The CONSULTANT may request an extension of
the last approved indirect cost rate for the twelve (12) month period. These requests for provisional indirect
cost rate and/or extension will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and if granted, will be memorialized in
a final written acknowledgment.
The CONSULTANT shall maintain and have accessible support data for verification of the components of
the hourly rates, i.e., direct (raw) labor, indirect cost rate, and fixed fee (profit) percentage. The
CONSULTANT shall bill each employee’s actual classification, and actual salary plus indirect cost rate plus
fixed fee.

in A and B above. Detailed statements shall support the monthly billings for hours expended at the rates
established in Exhibit “D,” including names and classifications of all employees, and billings for all direct

employees, the AGENCY may conduct employee interviews. These interviews may consist of recording the
names, titles, salary rates, and present duties of those employees performing work on the SERVICES at the
time of the interview.
E.
Final Payment: Final Payment of any balance due the CONSULTANT of the gross amount earned will be
made promptly upon its verification by the AGENCY after the completion of the SERVICES under this
AGREEMENT, contingent upon receipt of all PS&E, plans, maps, notes, reports, electronic data, and other
related documents, which are required to be furnished under this AGREEMENT. Acceptance of such Final
Payment by the CONSULTANT shall constitute a release of all claims for payment, which the
CONSULTANT may have against the AGENCY unless such claims are specifically reserved in writing and
transmitted to the AGENCY by the CONSULTANT prior to its acceptance. Said Final Payment shall not,
however, be a bar to any claims that the AGENCY may have against the CONSULTANT or to any remedies
the AGENCY may pursue with respect to such claims.
The payment of any billing will not constitute agreement as to the appropriateness of any item and at the time
of final audit all required adjustments will be made and reflected in a final payment. In the event that such
final audit reveals an overpayment to the CONSULTANT, the CONSULTANT will refund such
overpayment to the AGENCY within thirty (30) calendar days of notice of the overpayment. Such refund
shall not constitute a waiver by the CONSULTANT for any claims relating to the validity of a finding by the
AGENCY of overpayment. Per WSDOT’s “Audit Guide for Consultants,” Chapter 23 “Resolution
Procedures,” the CONSULTANT has twenty (20) working days after receipt of the final Post Audit to begin
the appeal process to the AGENCY for audit findings
F.
Inspection of Cost Records: The CONSULTANT and their sub-consultants shall keep available for
inspection by representatives of the AGENCY and the United States, for a period of six (6) years after receipt
of final payment, the cost records and accounts pertaining to this AGREEMENT and all items related to or
bearing upon these records with the following exception: if any litigation, claim or audit arising out of, in
connection with, or related to this AGREEMENT is initiated before the expiration of the six (6) year period,
the cost records and accounts shall be retained until such litigation, claim, or audit involving the records is
completed. An interim or post audit may be performed on this AGREEMENT. The audit, if any, will be
performed by the State Auditor, WSDOT’s Internal Audit Office and /or at the request of the AGENCY’s
Project Manager.

subcontractors and successors in interest, agrees to comply with the following laws and regulations:
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
(42 U.S.C. Chapter 21 Subchapter V §

Federal-aid Highway Act of 1973 (23
U.S.C. Chapter 3 § 324)

794)
Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42
U.S.C. Chapter 76 § 6101 et. seq.)
Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (Public Law
100-259)
American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42
U.S.C. Chapter 126 § 12101 et. seq.)
23 CFR Part 200
49 CFR Part 21
49 CFR Part 26

by the Regulations or directives issued pursuant thereto.
IX. Termination of Agreement
The right is reserved by the AGENCY to terminate this AGREEMENT at any time with or without cause upon
ten (10) days written notice to the CONSULTANT.
In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated by the AGENCY, other than for default on the part of the
CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the CONSULTANT for actual hours charged at the time of
termination of this AGREEMENT, plus any direct non-salary costs incurred up to the time of termination of this
AGREEMENT.
No payment shall be made for any SERVICES completed after ten (10) days following receipt by the
CONSULTANT of the notice to terminate. If the accumulated payment made to the CONSULTANT prior to
Notice of Termination exceeds the total amount that would be due when computed as set forth in paragraph two
(2) of this section, then no final payment shall be due and the CONSULTANT shall immediately reimburse the
AGENCY for any excess paid.
If the services of the CONSULTANT are terminated by the AGENCY for default on the part of the
CONSULTANT, the above formula for payment shall not apply.
In the event of a termination for default, the amount to be paid to the CONSULTANT shall be determined by the
AGENCY with consideration given to the actual costs incurred by the CONSULTANT in performing
SERVICES to the date of termination, the amount of SERVICES originally required which was satisfactorily
completed to date of termination, whether that SERVICE is in a form or a type which is usable to the AGENCY
at the time of termination, the cost to the AGENCY of employing another firm to complete the SERVICES
required and the time which may be required to do so, and other factors which affect the value to the AGENCY
of the SERVICES performed at the time of termination. Under no circumstances shall payment made under this
subsection exceed the amount, which would have been made using the formula set forth in paragraph two (2) of
this section.
If it is determined for any reason, that the CONSULTANT was not in default or that the CONSULTANT’s failure
to perform is without the CONSULTANT’s or its employee’s fault or negligence, the termination shall be
deemed to be a termination for the convenience of the AGENCY. In such an event, the CONSULTANT would be
reimbursed for actual costs in accordance with the termination for other than default clauses listed previously.

more of the beneficial ownership of the CONSULTANT within 15 days of such sale or transfer occurring. The
CONSULTANT shall continue to be obligated to complete the SERVICES under the terms of this
AGREEMENT unless the AGENCY chooses to terminate this AGREEMENT for convenience or chooses to
renegotiate any term(s) of this AGREEMENT. If termination for convenience occurs, final payment will be
made to the CONSULTANT as set forth in the second and third paragraphs of this section.
Payment for any part of the SERVICES by the AGENCY shall not constitute a waiver by the AGENCY of any
remedies of any type it may have against the CONSULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by the
CONSULTANT, or for failure of the CONSULTANT to perform SERVICES required of it by the AGENCY.
Forbearance of any rights under the AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of entitlement to exercise those
rights with respect to any future act or omission by the CONSULTANT.
X. Changes of Work

necessary to correct errors appearing therein, without additional compensation thereof. Should the AGENCY

be considered as Extra Work and will be paid for as herein provided under section XIII “Extra Work.”
XI. Disputes
Any disputed issue not resolved pursuant to the terms of this AGREEMENT shall be submitted in writing within
10 days to the Director of Public Works or AGENCY Engineer, whose decision in the matter shall be final and
binding on the parties of this AGREEMENT; provided however, that if an action is brought challenging the
Director of Public Works or AGENCY Engineer’s decision, that decision shall be subject to judicial review. If
the parties to this AGREEMENT mutually agree, disputes concerning alleged design errors will be conducted

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION (HDR)
This project is federally-funded and is therefore subject to compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The relatively modest scope of this
project will likely be eligible for NEPA Categorical Exclusion (NEPA CE). At a
minimum, a NEPA CE requires submission and approval of a completed WSDOT
Categorical Exclusion Form and potentially supplemental environmental
documentation addressing specific concerns by reviewing agencies. Project
construction is anticipated to occur within existing disturbed right-of-way and
therefore eligible for NEPA exemptions related to cultural resources, environmental
justice, and endangered species act compliance identified in the WSDOT LAG Manual
Chapter 24.
6.1 WSDOT CE Initial (HDR)
Complete initial draft of WSDOT Categorical Exclusion Form for submission by the
CITY to WSDOT Local Programs, WSDOT Northwest Region Office for approval. The
approval process is typically an iterative process with the CITY submitting
successive drafts for agency review and comment addressed in subsequent task(s).
The initial draft document shall incorporate the project elements so that the CE
form can be completed in the following task.

Title VI Assurances
During the performance of this AGREEMENT, the CONSULTANT, for itself, its assignees, and successors in
interest agrees as follows:
1.
Compliance with Regulations: The CONSULTANT shall comply with the Regulations relative to non-
discrimination in federally assisted programs of the AGENCY, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 21, as they may be amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the “REGULATIONS”),
which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this AGREEMENT.
2.

shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, sex, or national origin in the selection and retention
of sub-consultants, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The CONSULTANT
shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the
REGULATIONS, including employment practices when this AGREEMENT covers a program set forth
in Appendix B of the REGULATIONS.
3.
Solicitations for Sub-consultants, Including Procurement of Materials and Equipment: In all solicitations
either by competitive bidding or negotiations made by the CONSULTANT for work to be performed
under a sub-contract, including procurement of materials or leases of equipment, each potential sub-
consultant or supplier shall be notified by the CONSULTANT of the CONSULTANT’s obligations under
this AGREEMENT and the REGULATIONS relative to non-discrimination on the grounds of race, color,
sex, or national origin.
4.
Information and Reports: The CONSULTANT shall provide all information and reports required by the
REGULATIONS or directives issued pursuant thereto, and shall permit access to its books, records,
accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by the AGENCY, the
STATE, or the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to be pertinent to ascertain compliance with
such REGULATIONS, orders and instructions. Where any information required of a CONSULTANT is
in the exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish this information, the
CONSULTANT shall so certify to the AGENCY, the STATE, or the FHWA as appropriate, and shall set
forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information.
5.
Sanctions for Non-compliance: In the event of the CONSULTANT’s non-compliance with the non-

a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for non-compliance.
Provided, however, that in the event a CONSULTANT becomes involved in, or is threatened with,
litigation with a sub-consultant or supplier as a result of such direction, the CONSULTANT may request
the AGENCY enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the STATE and/or the AGENCY and, in

Exhibit I
Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant has alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the
resolution and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some
material damage due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency’s Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s), the first step in the process is for the
Agency’s project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the
potential design error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Local Programs Engineer should be
informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer
may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager, who has not been as directly
involved in the project, to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer’s concurrence, the project manager obtains more detailed
documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include all decisions and descriptions
of work, photographs, records of labor, materials, and equipment.
Step 3 Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further, the next step in the process is for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged
error(s). The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manager and any personnel (including sub-consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4 Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant’s alleged design
error(s), there are three possible scenarios:
It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If this is the case,
then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s) occurred. If this is the case,
then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their representatives, negotiate a settlement
with the consultant. The settlement would be paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced
from the consultant’s agreement with the agency for the services on the project in which the design
error took place. The agency is to provide LP, through the Region Local Programs Engineer, a
summary of the settlement for review and to make adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement
affects federal reimbursements. No further action is required.
There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The consultant may
request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to the Director of Public Works or Agency
Engineer for review. If the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legal
counsel, is not able to reach mutual agreement with the consultant, proceed to Step 5.
I2019-101
Local Agency A&E Professional Services Agreement Number ____________
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 02/28/2018
Page 32 of 34
Step 5 Forward Documents to Local Programs
For federally funded projects, all available information, including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Local Programs Engineer to LP for their review and consultation with the FHWA. LP will meet
with representatives of the agency and the consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt to
find a resolution to the issue. If necessary, LP will request assistance from the Attorney General’s Office
for legal interpretation. LP will also identify how the alleged error(s) affects eligibility of project costs
for federal reimbursement.
If mutual agreement is reached, the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work and costs to
reflect the agreed upon resolution. LP, in consultation with FHWA, will identify the amount of federal
participation in the agreed upon resolution of the issue.
If mutual agreement is not reached, the agency and consultant may seek settlement by arbitration or
by litigation.

Exhibit J
Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement. The
following procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant’s
claim(s) total a $1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is
suggested that the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the
consultant’s claim(s) that total $1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1 Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside of
the agreement’s scope of work, they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is
the request for consideration of the claim to the Agency’s project manager.
The consultant’s claim must outline the following:
Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim
Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with the
additional work; and
Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement
scope of work.
Step 2 Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant’s Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1, the next step in the process is to forward the request to the
Agency’s project manager. The project manager will review the consultant’s claim and will met with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If the
FHWA is participating in the project’s funding, forward a copy of the consultant’s claim and the
Agency’s recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Local Programs through
the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will
need to be from agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, WSDOT Local Programs
(if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable) agree with the consultant’s claim, send a request memo,
including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new
agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved, the Agency shall write the supplement
and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the
final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. No further action in needed regarding the claim
procedures.
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant’s claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures.

Local Agency A&E Professional Services Agreement Number ____________
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 02/28/2018
Page 34 of 34
Step 3 Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant’s Claim(s)
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant’s claim, the project manager shall prepare a summary
for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following:
Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim;
Agency’s summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the claim
Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
Agency’s summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associate
with the additional work;
Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does/does not agree with the consultant’s
claim(s);
Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s); and
Recommendations to resolve the claim.
Step 4 Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency
Documentation
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall review and administratively approve or
disapprove the claim, or portions thereof, which may include getting Agency Council or Commission
approval (as appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project involves federal
participation, obtain concurrence from WSDOT Local Programs and FHWA regarding final settlement
of the claim. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency
funds.
Step 5 Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify (in writing) the consultant of their final
decision regarding the consultant’s claim(s). Include the final dollar amount of the accepted claim(s) and
rationale utilized for the decision.
Step 6 Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant’s Claim(s)
The agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the
claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit
