certificates and endorsements as prescribed and provided herein. If an offeror/apparent low

number and title of the project. Consultant/Contractor may, upon written request to the

described on the certificate be cancelled or materially changed before the
expiration date.
Should any of the required insurance be provided under a claims-made form,

the contract expiration, such that occurrences arising during the contract term
which give rise to claims made after expiration of the contract shall be covered.

delay in the work or in the construction of the Owner or of separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Design Professional's professional judgment to
permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions
and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems designed by the Contractor, all of which remain the
responsibility of the Contractor to the extent required by the Contract Documents. The Design Professional's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions
or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Design Professional, of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Design Professional's
approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component. When professional certification of performance characteristics

Assumptions and Clarifications
The following assumptions were used by the ENGINEER for the preparation of this scope of
Basic Services:
1. In order to expedite the project, some tasks listed herein were authorized under a
separate contract. Those tasks are not described in detail herein, but reference
the previous contract.
2. The utility relocations will be prepared for design, bid, build procurement. It is
assumed at this time that there will be two bid packages. One will be prepared for
insertion into the TxDOT US 377 widening project, and the other will be bid by the
city of Denton as a stand-alone project. Therefore, two separate options are
shown in Attachment A and both will likely be implemented.
3. Relocation of water and wastewater lines that affect the construction of the US 377
widening project will be prioritized in the development of this project, as shown on
the project schedule. Survey and design related to the wastewater replacements
on side streets will follow the effort related to the TxDOT project.
4. The approximate lengths of proposed replacements are based on City of Denton
GIS maps.
5. The City will provide TV inspection data of the wastewater lines for use by the
ENGINEER where appropriate.
6. A Subsurface Utility Engineering investigation is a part of the scope of this
agreement, and will consist of Level D through B designating, locating and
mapping, and limited Level A test holes at locations to be determined during the
design phase. An estimated number of test holes is shown in Attachment A, but
the actual number will be determined during the design phase.
7. Plan and profile sheets will be prepared for all of the wastewater replacements
listed above, assuming open cut replacement. Plan and profile sheets will be
prepared as 22”x 34” sheets, using a 1” = 20’ scale and will be reducible to 11”x17”
sheets at 1”=40’ scale. Existing property owners and street addresses will be
shown on the plan and profile sheets.
8. Plan sheets will be prepared for all of the water replacements listed above,
assuming open cut replacement. Plan sheets will be prepared as 22”x 34”
sheets, using a 1” = 20’ scale and will be reducible to 11”x17” sheets at 1”=40’
scale. Existing property owners and street addresses will be shown on the plan
and profile sheets.
9. The CITY will make GIS shape files available that show buildings and other
pertinent data. The CITY will provide aerial photographic background files (.tiff or
other file type) for use on the schematic plans.
10. No traffic control plans will be prepared as part of the scope of this agreement,
other than to provide performance requirements that the contractor must comply
with in his preparation of a traffic control plan.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
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.
