E. Engineer's Personnel at Construction Site
(1) The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction site,
whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the ENGINEER or
its personnel in any way responsible for those duties that belong to the CITY
and/or the CITY's 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
completing all portions of the construction work in accordance with the
AGREEMENT 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.

responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar with the progress
or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine, in general, if
the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner indicating that the
PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with the AGREEMENT
Documents, nor shall anything in the AGREEMENT Documents or this
AGREEMENT between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring
ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to discover
latent defects in the work or otherwise check the quality or quantity of the work
on the PROJECT. If the ENGINEER makes on-site observation(s) of a
deviation from the AGREEMENT Documents, the ENGINEER shall inform the
CITY.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of materials,
systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the services set forth in
the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled to rely upon such
certification to establish materials, systems or equipment and performance
criteria to be required in the AGREEMENT Documents.
F. Opinions of Probable Cost, Financial Considerations, and Schedules
(1) The ENGINEER shall provide opinions of probable costs based on the current
available information at the time of preparation, in accordance with

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 operating personnel; and
other economic and operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate
PROJECT cost or schedule. Therefore, the ENGINEER makes no warranty
that the CITY's actual PROJECT costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility,
or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's opinions, analyses, projections,
or estimates.
G. Construction Progress Payments
Recommendations by the ENGINEER to the CITY for periodic construction progress
payments to the construction contractor will be based on the ENGINEER's knowledge,
information, and belief from selective sampling and observation 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
AGREEMENT 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, materials,
or equipment has passed to the CITY free and clear of liens, claims, security interests, or
encumbrances; or that there are not other matters at issue between the CITY and the
construction contractor that affect the amount that should be paid.
H. 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

SCOPE OF WORK The following is the list of projects and brief scopes of work description:
1. Woodrow - Brinker 138kV Transmission Line Reconstruction
Instead of Rebuilding/Upgrading this transmission line, install second circuit from Spencer Interchange to Brinker on existing transmission line using dual Suwannee per phase. The existing transmission line was designed by Power Engineers in 2021.
2. Woodrow - Locust 138kV Transmission Line Upgrade
Upgrade the Woodrow Substation to Locust Substation transmission line to provide the additional capacity needed to meet the NERC requirements of the contingency planning criteria. Rebuild 7,400 of existing transmission line using dual Cumberland per phase. This line routes through a dense urban section of town.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
