Such services may include taking of tests or collecting samples of natural or manmade materials at various locations on a project site, and making visual observations related to earthwork, foundations, and /or materials. If the services to be provided by AECOM under this agreement include or are amended to include Construction Monitoring Services, the provisions of this Section 9 shall be an integral part of this agreement and applicable thereto. b. The presence of AECOM field personnel will be for the purpose of providing the client with a professional service based on observations and testing of the work which is performed by a contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service provider. Such services will only be those specifically requested by the Client and agreed to by AECOM. Discrepancies between construction operations or completed work and project requirements which are noted by AECOM field personnel will be referred to the Client, or the Client's representative, as designated prior to AECOM's involvement in the project. c. It is understood and agreed by the Client that the observation and testing of natural and/or man -made materials by AECOM in no way implies a guarantee or warranty of the work of the contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service providers, and the services rendered by AECOM will in no way excuse such contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service providers from liability in the event of subsequently discovered defects, omissions, errors or other deficiencies in their work. The presence or absence of AECOM on the Project site will not affect any obligation of any contractor, subcontractor, or other materialmen or service providers to perform in accordance with the specifications and plans of the Project. The Client further understands that AECOM is not a quality assurance representative for any contractor, subcontractor, or other materialman or service provider on the Project. d. The Client agrees to supply AECOM with specifications, plans, and other necessary material for the Project pertinent to providing its services. e. Due to the nature of its services, observing and field testing the work of contractors, subcontractors, or materialmen or service providers on the Project, AECOM cannot always be responsible for the schedule or length of time its field personnel remain on the Project site. The time AECOM's field personnel spend on the Project site is dependent upon the schedule of the contractor, subcontractor or materialman, or service provider whose work they are observing and/or testing. AECOM shall make reasonable effort to utilize its time on the Project site judiciously, but the Client understands and agrees that any delays, cancellations, rescheduling, overtime or other construction activities that may alter the anticipated number of hours and the anticipated costs of AECOM on the Project site and that are beyond the control of AECOM field personnel are legitimate and chargeable time and will be invoiced at the rates designated in the attached fee schedules. f. Part-time work is defined as Construction Monitoring Services provided by AECOM where its field personnel are on the Project less than five (5) working days per week or less than forty (40) hours per week, or both. It is agreed that the Client will furnish AECOM with a minimum of one working days notice, or twenty -four (24) hours notice, whichever is greater, on any part-time work of AECOM if field personnel are requested. AECOM shall make reasonable effort to provide field personnel on all projects, but reserves the right to schedule its field personnel as it deems appropriate, including the scheduling of different field personnel from day to day on any given part-time project of AECOM. The Client agrees to inform AECOM of the anticipated services required by AECOM field personnel on any day, including but not restricted to the kind and number of tests to be required and the anticipated amount of time the field personnel will be required on the Project site. g. All field personnel charges will be made on a portal -to -portal basis. Mileage to and from the Project site will be billed at the rate designated in the attached fee schedules as will any office engineering time needed to review, evaluate or analyze the field data. All calls made by the Client or the Client's representative to cancel requested part-time AECOM field personnel must be received by AECOM in time for AECOM to notify field personnel before they leave for the Project site. AECOM will make reasonable effort to contact its field personnel as quickly as possible, but reserves the right to bill the Client for time incurred in the event AECOM received a cancellation call too late for it to intercept the field personnel enroute to the Project site. Section 10: Opinions of Cost a. AECOM's opinions of probable total Project costs and Project construction costs, if any, provided as part of the services under this Agreement are made on the basis of AECOM's knowledge, experience, and qualifications and represent AECOM's judgment as an Conssf w -City requirements 12- 23 -09.docx ACOM Page 4 of 11 experienced and qualified professional engineer, familiar with the construction industry; but AECOM cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual total Project costs or Project construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost provided by AECOM.

AECOM's review and approval of Shop Drawings or other data shall not relieve the contractor(s) from responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the plans and specifications unless the contractor(s) has, in writing, called AECOM's attention to each such variation at the time of submission and AECOM has given written approval of each such variation by a specific written notation incorporated into or accompanying the Shop Drawing or other data. Approval by AECOM will not relieve the contractor(s) from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings or other data. c. AECOM will accept Shop Drawings or other data submittals only from the contractor(s) required by the Project contract documents to furnish the Shop Drawings or data. AECOM will reasonably promptly review and approve, or take other appropriate action in regard to, Shop Drawings or data properly submitted to AECOM. Section 12: Allocation of Risk a. IN NO EVENT SHALL AECOM BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, FOR CLIENTS LOSS OF PROFITS, DELAY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE ARISING AT ANYTIME OR FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AECOM'S LIABILITY HEREUNDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO $50,000.00 OR THE FEE PAID TO AECOM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. b. Subject to any limitations contained in Sec. 893.80 and any similar statute, of the Wisconsin Statutes, the City further agrees to hold AECOM harmless from any and all liability, including claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, and expenses of every kind and description (including death), or damages to person or property arising out of reuse of the documents without consent where such liability is founded upon or grows out of the acts or omission of any of the officers, employees or agents of the City of Oshkosh while acting within the scope of their employment. c. Under no circumstances shall AECOM be liable for extra work or other consequences due to changed conditions or for costs related to failure of the construction contractor or materialmen or service providers to install work in accordance with the plans and specifications. d.
