Upon entering into this Agreement,the Client shall notify AECOM of all such hazardous substances which it knows or which it reasonably suspects are or may be present at or contiguous to the Project site or which may otherwise affect the services to be provided. Thereafter,such notification to AECOM shall be required as soon as practicable after the Client discovers either the presence of hazardous substances which were not previously disclosed,increased concentrations of previously disclosed hazardous substances,or facts or information which cause the Client to reasonably suspect the presence of any such hazardous substances. Hazardous substances shall include,but not be limited to,any substance which poses or may pose a present or potential hazard to human health or the environment whether contained in a product,material,by-product,waste,or sample and whether it exists in a solid,liquid,semi-solid,or gaseous form. b. If all or any part of the scope of work is to be performed in the general vicinity of a facility or in an area where asbestos,dust,fumes,gas,noise,vibrations,or other particulate or nonparticulate matter is in the atmosphere where it raises a potential health hazard or nuisance to those working in the area of such conditions,Client shall immediately notify AECOM of such conditions,potential health hazard,or nuisance which it knows,should know, or reasonably suspects exists and,thereafter,AECOM is authorized by the Client to take all reasonable measures AECOM deems necessary to protect its employees against such possible health hazards or nuisance. The reasonable direct cost of such measures shall be borne by the Client. c. Following any disclosure as set forth in the preceding paragraphs,or if any hazardous substances or conditions are discovered or reasonably suspected by AECOM after its services are undertaken,AECOM may,at its discretion,suspend its services until reasonable measures have been taken at the Clients expense to protect AECOM's employees from such hazardous substances or conditions. Whether or not AECOM suspends its services in whole or in part,the Client and AECOM agree that the scope of services,terms,and conditions, schedule,and the estimated fee or budget shall be adjusted in accordance with the disclosed information or condition,or AECOM may,at its discretion,terminate the Agreement In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section,the Client shall pay AECOM for all services rendered prior to termination and all termination expenses as set forth in Section 15 of these General Conditions of Service. d. In the event that services under this Agreement may involve or relate to hazardous substances,or constituents, including hazardous waste(as defined by federal,state,or local statutes,regulations or ordinances),whether or not involvement or relationship was contemplated at the time this Agreement was made or when services by AECOM began under this Agreement,the following conditions shall also be incorporated into the Agreement and be made applicable thereto: d.1. In the event that samples collected by or received by AECOM on behalf of the Client contain hazardous substances or constituents,including hazardous waste,AECOM will,after completion of testing and,at Client's expense,(1)return such samples to Client,or(2)upon written request and using a manifest signed by the Client as generator,release such samples to a carrier selected by the Client to be transported to a location selected by the Client for final disposal. The Client agrees to pay all costs associated with the storage,transport,and disposal of samples. The Client recognizes and agrees that AECOM is acting as a bailee and at no time assumes title to said samples or substances. d.2. All laboratory and field equipment contaminated in performing services under this Agreement which cannot be reasonably decontaminated shall become the property and responsibility of the Client All such equipment shall be delivered to the Client or disposed of in a manner similar to that indicated for hazardous samples above. The Client agrees to pay the fair market value of any such equipment which cannot reasonably be decontaminated and all other costs associated with the storage,transport, and disposal of such equipment. Section 9: Construction Monitoring Services a. "Construction Monitoring Services"is defined as services,furnished by AECOM to the Client,which are performed for the purpose of evaluating and/or documenting general conformance of construction operations or completed work with Project specifications,plans,and/or specific reports of the Project. 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 Conssf.98k(Aug 13, 1998) 2013 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-proceed 4 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 day's 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 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. Section 11: Shop Drawings a. In the event that the scope of services includes review and approval of Shop Drawings or other data which contractor(s)are required to submit,AECOM's review and approval will be only for conformance with the design concept of the Project and for compliance with the information given in the Project plans and specifications and shall not extend to means,methods,techniques,sequences,or procedures of construction,or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. b. 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, Conssf.98k(Aug 13, 1998) 2013 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-proceed 5 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 CLIENT'S 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. 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,it is further agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law the Client shall indemnify and hold harmless AECOM and its employees,agents,contractors and consultants from and against all claims,damages,losses and expenses,direct and indirect,or consequential damages,including but not limited to attorneys'fees and all Court,arbitration or other dispute resolution costs, arising out of,resulting from,or related to the presence and/or involvement of hazardous substances,including hazardous waste,at the Project site or contained in samples collected by or received by AECOM from the Project site. The indemnification set forth in this paragraph 12.e.extends to claims against AECOM which arise out of,are related to,or are based upon,the dispersal,discharge,escape,release,spillage or saturation of smoke,vapors,soot,fumes,acids,alkalis,toxic chemicals,liquids,gases or any other material,irritant, contaminant or pollution in or into the atmosphere,or on,onto,upon,in or into the surface or subsurface(a)soil, (b)water or watercourses,(c)objects,or(d)any tangible or intangible matter,whether such event or circumstances is sudden or not.

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 or in connection with or occurring during the course of this agreement 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. Section 14: Dispute Resolution a. All claims,disputes,controversies or matters in question arising out of,or relating to this Agreement or any breach thereof,including but not limited to disputes arising out of alleged design defects,breaches of contract, errors,omissions,or acts of professional negligence,(collectively"disputes")shall be submitted to mediation before and as a condition precedent to any other remedy. Upon written request by either party to this Agreement for mediation of any dispute,Client and AECOM shall select by mutual agreement a neutral mediator. Such selection shall be made within ten(10)calendar days of the date of receipt by the other party of the written request for mediation. In the event of failure to reach such agreement or in any instance when the selected mediator is unable or unwilling to serve and a replacement mediator cannot be agreed upon by Client and AECOM within ten(10)calendar days,a mediator shall be chosen as specified in the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. b. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 14,in no event shall a demand for mediation be made more than two(2)years from the date the party making demand knew or should have known of the dispute or six(6) years from the date of substantial completion of AECOM's participation in the Project,whichever date shall occur earlier. c. All mediation or arbitration shall take place in the City of Oshkosh,Wisconsin,unless Client and AECOM agree Conssf.98k(Aug 13,1998) 2013 SWU consulting-and-authorization-to-proceed 6 otherwise.

Task 4: ERU Calculation for Town of Algoma 2013 Annexation Properties Per the existing City of Oshkosh/Town of Algoma boundary agreement, several parcels will be annexed to the City in 2013. These properties will be added to the City's Stormwater Utility customer base for billing purposes. AECOM will conduct the following tasks: 1) Measure impervious surfaces on all the parcels indicated on attached map. Measurements will be obtained from the most recent available aerial photograph.
