the proposed improvements herein before described.
2. The Classifications of the employees used in the work shall be consistent with the employee classifications and estimated staff
hours. If higher-salaried personnel of the firm, including the Principal Engineer, perform services that are to be performed by
lesser-salaried personnel, the wage rate billed for such services shall be commensurate with the payroll rate for the work
performed.
3.That the ENGINEER shall be responsible for the accuracy of the work and shall promptly make necessary revisions or corrections
required as a result of the ENGINEER'S error, omissions or negligent acts without additional compensation. Acceptance of work
by the LPA or DEPARTMENT will not relieve the ENGINEER of the responsibility to make subsequent correction of any such
errors or omissions or the responsibility for clarifying ambiguities.
4. That the ENGINEER will comply with applicable Federal laws and regulations, State of Illinois Statutes, and the local laws or
ordinances of the LPA.
5. To pay its subconsultants for satisfactory performance no later than 30 days from receipt of each payment from the LPA.

DOT assisted contract or in the administration of its DBE program or the requirements of 49 CFR part 26. The recipient shall take
all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of US
DOT-assisted contracts. The recipient's DBE program, as required by 49 CFR part 26 and as approved by US DOT, is
incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms
shall be treated as violation of this AGREEMENT. Upon notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved program,
the Department may impose sanctions as provided for under part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for

books, records and supporting documents related to the contract shall be available for review and audit by the Auditor General,
and the DEPARTMENT: the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) or any authorized representative of the federal
government, and to provide full access to all relevant materials. Failure to maintain the books, records and supporting documents
required by this section shall establish a presumption in favor of the DEPARTMENT for the recovery of any funds paid by the
DEPARTMENT under the contract for which adequate books, records and supporting documentation are not available to support
their purported disbursement.
3. That the ENGINEER shall be responsible for any and all damages to property or persons arising out of an error, omission and/or
negligent act in the prosecution of the ENGINEER's work and shall indemnify and save harmless the LPA, the DEPARMTENT,

whatsoever resulting there from. These indemnities shall not be limited by the listing of any insurance policy.
The LPA will notify the ENGINEER of any error or omission believed by the LPA to be caused by the negligence of the
ENGINEER as soon as practicable after the discovery. The LPA reserves the right to take immediate action to remedy any error
or omission if notification is not successful; if the ENGINEER fails to reply to a notification; or if the conditions created by the error
or omission are in need of urgent correction to avoid accumulation of additional construction costs or damages to property and
reasonable notice is not practicable.
4. This AGREEMENT may be terminated by the LPA upon giving notice in writing to the ENGINEER at the ENGINEER's last known
post office address. Upon such termination, the ENGINEER shall cause to be delivered to the LPA all drawings, plats, surveys,
reports, permits, agreements, soils and foundation analysis, provisions, specifications, partial and completed estimates and data,
if any from soil survey and subsurface investigation with the understanding that all such material becomes the property of the
LPA. The LPA will be responsible for reimbursement of all eligible expenses incurred under the terms of this AGREEMENT up to
the date of the written notice of termination.

7. That the ENGINEER shall be responsible for any and all damages to property or persons arising out of an error, omission and/or
negligent act in the prosecution of the ENGINEER's work and shall indemnify and have harmless the LPA, the DEPARTMENT,
and their officers, employees from all suits, claims, actions or damages liabilities, costs or damages of any nature whatsoever
resulting there from. These indemnities shall not be limited by the listing of any insurance policy.

(a) has not employed or retained for commission, percentage, brokerage, contingent fee or other considerations, any
firm or person (other than a bona fide employee working solely for the LPA or the ENGINEER)to solicit or secure this
AGREEMENT,
(b) has not agreed, as an express or implied condition for obtaining this AGREEMENT, to employ or retain the services
of any firm or person in connection with carrying out the AGREEMENT or
(c) has not paid, or agreed to pay any firm, organization or person (other than a bona fide employee working solely for

at least one (1) year but not more than (5) years.
For the purpose of this certification, "grantee" or "Contractor" means a corporation,partnership or an entity with twenty-five (25)or
more employees at the time of issuing the grant or a department, division or other unit thereof, directly responsible for the specific
performance under contract or grant of $5,000 or more from the DEPARTMENT, as defined the Act.
The contractor/grantee certifies and agrees that it will provide a drug free workplace by:
(a) Publishing a statement:
(1) Notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a
controlled substance, including cannabis, is prohibited in the grantee's or contractor's workplace.
(2) Specifying actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.
(3) Notifying the employee that, as a condition of employment on such contract or grant, the employee will:
(a) abide by the terms of the statement; and
(b) notify the employer of any criminal drug statue conviction for a violation occurring int he workplace
no later than (5) days after such conviction.
(b) Establishing a drug free awareness program to inform employees about:

the ENGINEER, LPA and the Department agree to meet the PROJECT SCHEDULE outlined in EXHIBIT B. Time is of the
essence on this project and the ENGINEER's ability to meet the PROJECT SCHEDULE will be a factor in the LPA selecting the
ENGINEER for future project. The ENGINEER will submit progress reports with each invoice showing work that was completed
during the last reporting period and work they expect to accomplish during the following period.
11. Due to the physical location of the project, certain work classifications may be subject to the Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS
130/0.01 et seq.).

with this AGREEMENT shall be delivered to and become the property of the LPA and that basic survey notes,
sketches, charts, CADD files, related electronic files, and other data prepared or obtained in accordance with this
AGREEMENT shall be made available, upon request to the LPA or to the DEPARTMENT, without restriction or
limitation as to their use. Any re-use of these documents without the ENGINEER involvement shall be at the LPA's
sole risk and will not impose liability upon the ENGINEER.

enumerated while they are in the ENGINEER's possession and any such loss or damage shall be restored at the
ENGINEER's expense.
