enters into a supplemental AGREEMENT for additional work, the supplemental AGREEMENT may
include provisions for the added costs and an appropriate additional fee. The Fixed Fee will be prorated
and paid monthly in proportion to the percentage of work completed by the CONSULTANT and reported
in the Monthly Progress Reports accompanying the billings. Any portion of the Fixed Fee earned but not
previously paid in the progress payments will be covered in the final payment, subject to the provisions of
Section LX entitled"Termination of Agreement."
5. Management Reserve Fund(MRF): The AGENCY may desire to establish MRF to provide the Agreement
Administrator with the flexibility to authorize additional funds to the AGREEMENT for allowable
unforeseen costs, or reimbursing the CONSULTANT for additional work beyond that already defined in
this AGREEMENT. Such authorization(s) shall be in writing and shall not exceed the lesser of$100,000 or
10%of the Total Amount Authorized as shown in the heading of this AGREEMENT. The amount included

Section III, "General Requirements"of this AGREEMENT. The billings will be supported by an itemized
listing for each item including Direct(RAW) Labor, Direct Non-Salary, and allowable ICR Costs to which will

on the PROJECT at the time of the interview.

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.

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. 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.

CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the CONSULTANT for actual hours charged and any appropriate
fixed fee percentage at the time of termination of this AGREEMENT, plus any direct non-salary costs incurred up to

Agreement Number: AG-C-487
Local Agency AME Professional Services Cost Plus Fixed Fee Consultant Agreement Page 7 of 14
Revised 4/10/2015
date of termination,whether that SERVICE is in a form or a type which is usable to the AGENCY at the lime of

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 and appropriate fixed fee percentage in accordance with the termination for other than default
clauses listed previously.

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.

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

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 under

Exhibit I
Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant's 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 l 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 manger 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.

Revised 10/30/2014
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) are a total
of$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 I, 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.

WSDOT Form 140-089 EF Exhibit J Page 1 of 2
Revised 10/30/2014
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 associated
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 Pubic 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.
