UNDERSTANDING:
The City of Riverdale intends to utilize MSA for plan review of Woods Estates — Addition
3. Mr. Woods will hire another entity to observe and inspect the construction of this
phase of the Woods Estates Subdivision.
MSA will review the plans relative to City of Riverdale Standards and SUDAS. If an
item is not addressed in these standards, but there is an engineering concern, MSA will
explain their rationale for their suggestion. However, it is MSA's understanding the
Developer is not obligated to follow the suggestion unless the City concurs.
SCOPE OF WORK:
MSA will perform the following scope of work:
1. MSA will review the plat and provide review comments to the City. These
comments will be courtesy copied to RTM Engineering.
2. MSA will review existing plans and the project site to become familiar with
roadway, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and overland drainage connections.
3. MSA will review the set of plans delivered to MSA on April 23, 2021 by RTM
Engineering.
4. MSA will provide written review comments to the City and copies to Mr. Woods
and RTM Engineering. However, if the plans are grossly incomplete, to reduce
review costs, MSA will return the plans unreviewed to RTM Engineering and
expect a more complete set be provided on the subsequent submission
5. MSA will review resubmitted plans. If necessary, MSA will provide written
comments to the City and copies to Mr. Woods and RTM Engineering.
6. MSA will review plans submitted for a third time. If there still comments, MSA will
stop work until there is an agreement to provide an amendment to this
Professional Services Agreement.
7. During this process MSA will meet one time with the Developer, the Developer's
Engineer, and / or the City of Riverdale to discuss review comments.
8. Upon providing a letter that recommends acceptance of the project plans, this
project shall be complete.

MSA PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INC. (MSA)
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICES (PUBLIC)
1. Scope and Fee. The quoted fees and scope of services constitute the best estimate of the fees and tasks required to perform the services as
defined. This agreement upon execution by both parties hereto, can be amended only by written instrument signed by both parties. For those projects
involving conceptual or process development service, activities often cannot be fully defined during initial planning. As the project progresses, facts
uncovered may reveal a change in direction which may alter the scope. MSA will promptly inform the OWNER in writing of such situations so that
changes in this agreement can be made as required. The OWNER agrees to clarify and define project requirements and to provide such legal,
accounting and insurance counseling services as may be required for the project
2. Billing. MSA will bill the OWNER monthly with net payment due upon receipt. Past due balances shall be subject to an interest charge at a
rate of 12% per year from said thirtieth day. In addition, MSA may, after giving seven days written notice, suspend service under any agreement until
the OWNER has paid in full all amounts due for services rendered and expenses incurred, including the interest charge on past due invoices.
3. Costs and Schedules. Costs and schedule commitments shall be subject to change for delays caused by the OWNER's failure to provide
specified facilities or information or for delays caused by unpredictable occurrences including, without limitation, fires, floods, riots, strikes, unavailability
of labor or materials, delays or defaults, by suppliers of materials or services, process shutdowns, acts of God or the public enemy, or acts of regulations
of any governmental agency. Temporary delays of services caused by any of the above which result in additional costs beyond those outlined may
require renegotiation of this agreement.
4. Access to Site. Owner shall furnish right -of -entry on the project site for MSA and, if the site is not owned by Owner, warrants that permission
has been granted to make planned explorations pursuant to the scope of services. MSA will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the site
from use of equipment, but has not included costs for restoration of damage that may result and shall not be responsible for such costs.
5. Location of Utilities. Consultant shall use reasonable means to identify the location of buried utilities in the areas of subsurface exploration
and shall take reasonable precautions to avoid any damage to the utilities noted. However, Owner agrees to indemnify and defend Consultant in the
event of damage or injury arising from damage to or interference with subsurface structures or utilities which result from inaccuracies in information of
instructions which have been furnished to Consultant by others.
6. Professional Representative. MSA intends to serve as the OWNER's professional representative for those services as defined in this
agreement, and to provide advice and consultation to the OWNER as a professional. Any opinions of probable project costs, reviews and observations,
and other decisions made by MSA for the OWNER are rendered on the basis of experience and qualifications and represents the professional judgment
of MSA. However, MSA cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bid or actual project or construction costs will not vary from the opinion of
probable cost prepared by it.
7. Construction. This agreement shall not be construed as giving MSA, the responsibility or authority to direct or supervise construction means,
methods, techniques, sequence, or procedures of construction selected by the contractors or subcontractors or the safety precautions and programs
incident to the work of the contractors or subcontractors.
8. Standard of Care. In conducting the services, MSA will apply present professional, engineering and/or scientific judgment, and use a level of
effort consistent with current professional standards in the same or similar locality under similar circumstances in performing the Services. The OWNER
acknowledges that "current professional standards" shall mean the standard for professional services, measured as of the time those services are
rendered, and not according to later standards, if such later standards purport to impose a higher degree of care upon MSA.
MSA does not make any warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, nor have any agreement or contract for services subject to the provisions of
any uniform commercial code. Similarly, MSA will not accept those terms and conditions offered by the OWNER in its purchase order, requisition, or
notice of authorization to proceed, except as set forth herein or expressly agreed to in writing. Written acknowledgement of receipt, or the actual
performance of services subsequent to receipt of such purchase order, requisition, or notice of authorization to proceed is specifically deemed not to
constitute acceptance of any terms or conditions contrary to those set forth herein.
9. Construction Site Visits. MSA shall make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction as MSA deems
necessary in order to observe, as an experienced and qualified design professional, the progress and quality of the various aspects of Contractor's work.
The purpose of MSA's visits to, and representation at the site, will be to enable MSA to better carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to
and undertaken by MSA during the Construction Phase, and in addition, by the exercise of MSA's efforts as an experienced and qualified design
professional, to provide for OWNER a greater degree of confidence that the completed work of Contractor will conform in general to the Contract
Documents and that the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents has
been implemented and preserved by Contractor. On the other hand, MSA shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's
work in progress, supervise, direct or have control over Contractor's work nor shall MSA have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and programs incident to the work of Contractor or
for any failure of Contractor to comply with laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the
work. Accordingly, MSA neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor's failure to furnish and
perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall commence upon execution and shall remain in effect until terminated by either party, at such party's
discretion, on not less than thirty (30) days' advance written notice. The effective date of the termination is the thirtieth day after the non -terminating
party's receipt of the notice of termination. If MSA terminates the Agreement, the OWNER may, at its option, extend the terms of this Agreement to the
extent necessary for MSA to complete any services that were ordered prior to the effective date of termination. If OWNER terminates this Agreement,
OWNER shall pay MSA for all services performed prior to MSA's receipt of the notice of termination and for all work performed and/or expenses incurred
by MSA in terminating Services begun after MSA's receipt of the termination notice. Termination hereunder shall operate to discharge only those
obligations which are executory by either party on and after the effective date of termination. These General Terms and Conditions shall survive the
completion of the services performed hereunder or the Termination of this Agreement for any cause.
This agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. No waiver of compliance with any provision or condition hereof should be effective unless
agreed in writing and duly executed by the parties hereto.
11. Betterment. If, due to MSA's error, any required or necessary item or component of the project is omitted from the construction documents,
MSA's liability shall be limited to the reasonable costs of correction of the construction, less what OWNER'S cost of including the omitted item or
component in the original construction would have been had the item or component not been omitted. It is intended by this provision that MSA will not
be responsible for any cost or expense that provides betterment, upgrade, or enhancement of the project.
