Geotechnical Engineering Design Services
for The Tukwila Seismic Update Project
HART CROMER - OUR BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
This document presents our proposed scope and costs to provide geotechnical engineering soil exploration
and design services supporting the Tukwila Seismic Update Project located at 11210 Tukwila International
Blvd.
Hart Crowser is a 120-person geotechnical and environmental engineering firm that has been supporting
new development and redevelopments in the Puget Sound area since 1974. We specialize in geotechnical
design and construction of buildings and environmental construction management in the Pacific
Northwest. Our staff are available to begin work immediately and help meet your project schedule.
Hart Crowser is familiar with the subsurface conditions and issues affecting site development. Recently,
under contract to King County (County), Hart Crowser provided third -party review of another geotechnical
consultant's work on the Chinook Wind property, immediately south of the project site. The County was so
pleased with our quality of work that they replaced their geotechnical engineer with Hart Crowser. Based
on our work on the adjacent site, we have access to nearby soil exploration and have already performed
liquefaction assessment and slope stability analyses for conditions that are expected to be very similar at
your project site.
Doug Lindquist, PE, LEED AP will lead the Hart Crowser team. He is an award -winning Geotechnical and
Seismic Engineer with over 20 years of local experience on hundreds of projects. Doug has the unique
ability to convey complicated technical issues understandably and works tirelessly with developers and
their teams to optimize foundation and structural systems to improve safety and lower costs. Doug is an
expert on seismic design and soil -structure interaction. His experience includes liquefaction assessment,
site -specific seismic hazard analysis, basin effects evaluation, ground motion selection, spectral matching
of ground motions, and conditional mean spectrum analysis. His role on the project will include achieving
and maintaining a high level of client and team satisfaction with Hart Crowser's work while leading our
team of engineers and scientists.
The engineering work will be performed by Hart Crowser staff. We will retain subcontractors to provide
specialty contractor services for the soil exploration program. We will retain a drilling subcontractor to
perform the soil borings, cone penetration test (CPT) subcontractor for the CPT probes, and a utility
locating firm to mark and check for utilities near the exploration locations.
FEE PROPOSAL
Project Understanding
We understand that the project will consist of completing a seismic evaluation of the existing Heiser
Building. In addition, soil explorations will be performed around the site with a focus on the southern
property boundary for future site development. The site is bound by South 112th Street to the north and
Tukwila International Boulevard to the west in Tukwila, Washington. The site also includes a one-story
commercial building in the southwest corner, which was recently demolished and is part of this project to
be considered for future development of a metal -framed building. The existing grade of the site is
relatively flat with a slight east -west slope resulting in an elevation change of about 5 feet.

Geotechnical Engineering Design Services
for The Tukwila Seismic Update Project
The seismic evaluation will focus on the older western wing of the Heiser building. The Heiser building is
currently supported on a shallow foundation system with a thickened edge. Following evaluation, we will
prepare recommendations for the seismic update of the building using a code -based response spectrum.
We will also provide recommendations for foundation support and assess liquefaction potential and its
effects.
Our understanding of subsurface conditions is based on nearby soil borings, many of which are not located
on the site. Based on these explorations, the subsurface materials in the project vicinity likely consist of
less than about 10 feet of fill soils over alluvial deposits. The alluvium generally consists of layers of loose
silty sand, clean sand, and silt. Many of these layers are susceptible to liquefaction in a seismic event.
Below the alluvium deposit, glacial till was generally encountered at a depth ranging between 100 and 120
feet. The glacial till consists of very dense silty sand with gravel.
The regional groundwater table is anticipated to be encountered at a depth of about 10 to 15 feet below
the adjacent grades. Based on these conditions, we anticipate the groundwater to have an effect on the
seismic evaluation as well as the liquefaction potential of the alluvial deposits.
Design Scope of Work
We anticipate the geotechnical engineering design requirements for the above -described overall approach
will consist of the following components:
■ Task 1. Geotechnical Explorations and Laboratory Testing
■ Task 2. Geotechnical Engineering Design Services
We understand environmental services for the site are not included in this scope of work. Hart Crowser
can provide environmental services, as needed, under a separate scope of work. We will note observations
of environmentally impacted soil in our geotechnical borings. Our scope of work for this proposal ends
with the delivery of our Geotechnical Engineering Design Study. Post -report services can be an added
service at a later date.
Task 1 — Geotechnical Explorations and Laboratory Testing
Our philosophy for performing subsurface explorations and testing is to collect sufficient data to optimize
the reduction in risk for construction change orders and the cost of collecting the data.
Subtask 1.1 — Soil Explorations
We have existing borings available from our geotechnical engineering design support for the adjacent
property to the south of the proposed development. However, there are no existing historical boring
explorations within the site. Exploration borings will be required for development of our geotechnical and
seismic design recommendations.
We propose drilling four borings and pushing three CPTs at the site. Three of the four borings will be
approximately 80 feet deep in order complete a design -level geotechnical study for foundation
stabilization and deep foundation recommendations. The fourth boring will be drilled to approximately
to
Page K4RTO?OWSCR
249
Geotechnica! Engineering Design Services
for The Tukwila Seismic Update Project
130 feet deep to obtain data within the glacial till at depth. In addition, we propose that the three CPT
probes be pushed to refusal, which is estimated to occur in the glacial till at depths of 100 to 120 feet. At
one of the CPT boring locations, we propose to perform a seismic shear wave velocity test to better
characterize the subsurface soils, evaluate the seismic site classification, and for use in the site -specific
seismic response analysis, if required.
The borings will be coordinated in the field by Hart Crowser personnel. All explorations will be observed by
a geotechnical engineer or geologist from our firm who will collect samples and prepare continuous logs of
the soil and groundwater conditions encountered. Samples will be retrieved from the borings and returned
to our laboratory for further evaluation and limited index testing.
Our work and cost for this task is based on these assumptions:
We will be given right -of -entry to the site to perform our work during normal business hours.
We will mark the soil exploration locations in the field with paint.
We will be provided with maps showing the accurate locations of all underground utilities on the
private property.
♦ We will retain a utility locate service and perform a one -call utility locate.
♦ The site soil is environmentally clean and can be placed in drums and disposed of as clean waste.
♦ Traffic control other than cones is not required.
♦ Site restoration is not required other than standard clean-up and patching of pavement.
♦ Refusal may occur in dense soil or gravels.
s Field work will be performed uninterrupted until it is completed.
Limitations of Utility Locates. We are required by State Law to call a Utility Location Center (811) before
performing subsurface explorations. This "one -call system" prompts multiple utility owners to clear
exploration locations in the public right-of-way. Location of utilities on private property is the responsibility
of the property owner or facility operator. Hart Crowser conducts research for private properties, including
hiring a private firm that uses specialized equipment to locate conducting underground utilities and
reviewing plans provided by the owner and city utility maps available online. Such services by the
Consultant or its Subconsultant will be performed in a manner consistent with the ordinary standard of
professional care. The Client acknowledges that such research may not identify all utilities, such as plastic
water and gas lines, plastic or tile sewer lines, concrete or plastic drain lines, or fiber optic lines, and that
the information upon which Hart Crowser reasonably relies may contain errors or be incomplete. Hart
Crowser cannot be held responsible for damages, including consequential damages, related to striking
underground utilities that are not shown on plans or made of a conducting material, and that could not be
reasonably detected.
Subtask 1.2 — Laboratory Testing
Our laboratory testing program will focus on the index properties of the soils, including water contents,
grain size, and Atterberg limits. The grain size and Atterberg limit characteristics will allow correlation with
liquefaction and lateral spreading methods of evaluation of site soils. Moisture content of the soil samples
can give an indication of the groundwater table. These tests will be performed in Hart Crowser's
geotechnical laboratory in Seattle, Washington.

Task 2 — Geotechnical Engineering Design Services
Subtask 2.1 — Geotechnical Engineering Analyses and Evaluations
Seismic Evaluation. Lund Opsahl, the structural engineer, estimated that the current Heiser building has a
period of less than one-half second. This will allow use of a code -based response spectrum. If this estimate
changes, we included an optional task 2.3 to perform additional seismic analyses that would be required
by the building code. We will also assess liquefaction potential of the site soils as well as the hazard
potential of lateral spreading. Because of the building code change occurring July 1, 2020, we will provide
code -based design parameters for both ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 7-16 as part of our work.
Foundations. We expect new foundations to be required to support seismic bracing of the Heiser building.
We will prepare shallow and deep foundation design recommendations and discuss ground improvement
options. Deep foundations may include augercast piles, micropiles, and helical piles.
Subtask 2.2 — Meetings and Reporting
We expect that we may participate in up to two team meetings. Upon completion of our exploration work,
we recommend an interim design review meeting at which we will present our recommendations and
findings to date, and discuss ways to further optimize our results. We see this meeting, as well as
subsequent team meetings, as an opportunity to take part in critical value engineering of the geotechnical
aspects of the project. Our final report will present our findings, our field and laboratory data, detailed
design and construction recommendations, and recommendations for further studies, if needed. We
expect the report to be a usable document, with specific design and construction criteria.
Subtask 2.3 — Optional: Site -Specific Seismic Analysis
If the building period is greater than one-half second, then a site -specific seismic analysis will be needed to
properly complete the seismic evaluation. Our seismic team is very familiar with the requirements of the
International Building Code (IBC) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7 seismic design and will
work with our staff and the team's seismic engineers to identify appropriate dynamic spring constants, the
IBC site coefficients, and other criteria as needed. Hart Crowser will be responsible for developing the site -
specific seismic hazard and selecting and scaling earthquake ground motion records of acceleration for
input to the structural engineer's seismic analysis.
Fees
We will perform the scope of work presented herein for a lump sum fee shown below. The detail below is
presented for informational purposes to illustrate the relative costs of the various work tasks to develop an

Post -Report Services (not included in this proposal)
Our consulting services after the geotechnical report has been submitted to the design team are often
some of the most valuable time we spend on the project. It is during this phase of the work that most of
the actual building and site design takes place. During this time, specific value engineering concepts are
offered, evaluated, incorporated, or rejected. Sometimes the needs of the owner change, the nature of
the building evolves, or the performance requirements are modified. Geotechnical consultation on items
such as these is important to maintaining a tight schedule, the success of the design, and the performance
of the construction. During this time, our engineers will interact with the design team, participate in team
meetings, conduct design checks, and modify recommendations as needed to adapt to the changing needs
of the project. The goal is a set of final geotechnical recommendations that are specific, useful, and cost-
effective.
As part of this task, we can also review the contract plans and specifications to verify that our
recommendations have been properly incorporated into the plans and contract documents. In addition,
we support responses to any city questions or comments on the project drawings. Because of the
unquantified scope and duration of work, we recommend that these services be performed on a time and
materials basis in accordance with an initial $3,000 budgeted as a placeholder amount for these services.
We expect these services would be authorized around the time of completion of our design study.
Terms and Conditions
The design scope of work outlined above will be billed on a lump sum basis at the end of each month as a
percent of project completed. Our services will be performed in accordance with the standard of care of
our profession. If project requirements change, requiring additional work, we will notify you and seek your
approval for an addendum to the lump sum cost. The attached Terms and Conditions and any exhibits or
attachments referenced herein are incorporated into our agreement with you, and, by your authorization
to proceed, you are agreeing to these Terms and Conditions.
Please acknowledge your acceptance of this work by having this letter agreement properly signed and
returning a signed copy to us. Any changes to our agreement must be in writing and mutually agreed to.
We intend to use the attached example Contract Change form to effectively implement and document any
changes. We suggest any future work performed for you be completed as an amendment to this contract.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED AND STANDARD OF CARE. HART CROWSER, INC. (hereinafter "HART CROWSER"), agrees to provide CLIENT
(as identified in attached Proposal), for its sole benefit and exclusive use, consulting services set forth in the Proposal. HART CROWSER's offer to
perform shall terminate if not accepted within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the Proposal. HART CROWSER's services shall be
performed in accordance with the standard of care of its profession, which means generally accepted professional practices, in the same or similar
localities, related to the nature of the work accomplished, at the time the services are performed. HART CROWSER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES REGARDING ITS SERVICES, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a
particular purpose. Both parties agree that no third -party beneficiaries are intended by this AGREEMENT, which is defined to include these Terms and
Conditions, the attached Proposal, and attachments referenced in the Proposal.
2. PAYMENT. HART CROWSER will submit invoices to CLIENT for the preceding month's services, and a final bill upon completion of services
rendered according to the AGREEMENT. Invoices will be in a format consistent with the attached example marked Exhibit A. Payment is due within
thirty (30) days of the invoice date, unless CLIENT notifies HART CROWSER in writing, within ten (10) days of the invoice date, of any dispute with the
invoice. CLIENT and HART CROWSER vrill in good faith attempt to promptly resolve any disputed invoice amounts. All undisputed invoice amounts will
be considered delinquent if not received by HART CROWSER within thirty (30) days after the invoice date. Any action, claim, lien, or legal disputes
arising from such delinquent amounts and initiated by HART CROWSER are not subject to the requirements set forth in Paragraph 14 of this
AGREEMENT. Interest will be added to delinquent amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month of the total arrearage, or the
maximum rate allowed by law. Payments received for delinquent amounts will be applied first against interest and then against principal. HART
CROWSER may suspend or terminate services under this AGREEMENT for CLIENT's failure to make timely payments after tendering seven (7) days
written notice to CLIENT, and all reasonable demobilization and other suspension costs will be paid by CLIENT. Failure to make payment within the
time limits set forth in this paragraph is a material breach and excuses HART CROWSER from any performance under this AGREEMENT. CLIENT
shall pay HART CROWSER for all time spent and all costs, expenses, and fees incurred (including attorney fees) in connection with perfecting liens or
collecting any delinquent amount(s).
3. RIGHT OF ENTRY, PROPERTY RESPONSIBILITY, AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OR CONDITIONS. CLIENT shall provide HART
CROWSER legal access to and/or obtain permission for HART CROWSER to enter upon all property, whether or not owned by CLIENT, as required by
HART CROWSER to perform and complete its services. CLIENT warrants that, prior to HART CROWSER beginning the work, it shall provide HART
CROWSER with all information known or which should reasonably be known by CLIENT concerning the past or present use of the property, including
the nature and existence of any hazardous substances, or hazardous or ultrahazardous conditions on, in, under, adjacent to, or near the property.
HART CROWSER has responsibility for its own activities on the property including the safety of its employees; it does not assume control of, nor
responsibility for, the property, the person in charge of the property, nor the safety or control of persons not in HART CROWSER's employ. CLIENT
agrees that HART CROWSER has no responsibility as a handler, generator, operator, treater, storer, transporter, disposer, or arranger of the
transportation and/or disposal of hazardous substances found or identified at the project property. CLIENT further agrees that it shall be responsible for
arranging for the transportation and/or disposal of hazardous substances found or identified at the project property.
4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. CLIENT expressly agrees that to the fullest extent permitted by law, HART CROWSER's maximum liability to CLIENT
for any and all claims by CLIENT and any other person or entity, arising from HART CROWSER's professional acts, errors, or omissions, shall be the
amount of HART CROWSER's fee for professional services or $50,000, whichever is greater. The foregoing limit is in the aggregate for any and all
claims asserted against HART CROWSER. In the event CLIENT desires a higher limitation of liability, HART CROWSER may increase this limit for a
higher fee commensurate with the increased risk to HART CROWSER, and this paragraph will be amended by separate written agreement. As used in
this paragraph, the term "liability" means liability of any kind, whether in contract (including breach of warranty), in tort (including negligence), in strict
liability, or otherwise, for any and all injuries, claims, losses, expenses, or damages whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to HART
CROWSER's services or the services of HART CROWSER's subcontractors, consultants, agents, officers, directors, and employees from any cause(s).
HART CROWSER shall not be liable for any claims of loss of profits or any other indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any nature
whatsoever. Further, no officer, director, shareholder or employee of Hart Crowser shall bear any personal liability to CLIENT for any and all injuries,
claims, demands, losses, expenses or damages, of whatever kind or character, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or the services
provided by Hart Crowser on this project.
5. INDEMNIFICATION. CLIENT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HART CROWSER and its subcontractors, consultants, agents, officers,
directors, and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees and court costs arising
out of or in any way related to the services or work of HART CROWSER, HART CROWSER's presence on the project property, or the presence,
release, or threatened release of asbestos, hazardous substances, or pollutants on or from the project property; provided that such indemnification
shall not apply to such claims, damages, losses, or expenses that arise out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property to the extent they are
caused by HART CROWSER's sole negligence or willful misconduct; and provided further that CLIENT shall indemnify HART CROWSER against
liability for damages, losses, or expenses arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property, and caused by or resulting from the concurrent
negligence of (a) CLIENT, its subcontractors, consultants, agents, or employees and (b) HART CROWSER, its subcontractors, consultants, agents, or
employees, only to the extent of CLIENT's negligence or the negligence of CLIENT's subcontractors, consultants, agents, or employees. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, such indemnification shall apply regardless of the breach of contract, negligence, or strict liability of HART CROWSER.
6. DISPOSAL OF SAMPLES, MATERIALS, OR EQUIPMENT, AND WELL ABANDONMENT. Any non -hazardous samples will be discarded ninety
(90) days after sampling unless different arrangements are agreed to in writing. Samples, materials, or equipment containing hazardous substances that
are regulated under federal, state, or local environmental laws shall be returned to CLIENT at CLIENT's expense. Alternatively, CLIENT may request in
writing, pay, arrange, and assume responsibility for the contaminated samples, materials, or equipment to be transported to a disposal site in compliance
with all applicable laws; HART CROWSER will act as a bailee and will not be arranging for the transportation or disposal of the contaminated samples,
materials, or equipment. Any wells installed as part of HART CROWSER's work may later need to be properly abandoned and recorded in accordance
with applicable law. Unless expressly provided for in the Proposal, proper well abandonment and recording, and associated costs, are not included in
this AGREEMENT.
7. UNFORESEEN OCCURRENCES, SUBSURFACE RISKS, AND SITE DAMAGE. If any unforeseen conditions or occurrences are encountered
which, in HART CROWSER's judgment, significantly affect or may affect the recommended scope of work, HART CROWSER will notify CLIENT. After
such notification, HART CROWSER will complete the original scope of work, if appropriate, or agree with CLIENT to modify the AGREEMENT, or
terminate the AGREEMENT pursuant to Paragraph 10 if the parties are unable to reach agreement. CLIENT recognizes that special risks occur and
.,guarantees" cannot be expected whenever professional consulting services are applied to determine the composition or makeup of a site's subsurface,
or the existence or non-existence of particular man-made or natural subsurface conditions, features, or substances, including but not limited to
hazardous substances. CLIENT has the duty to disclose to HART CROWSER any such known or suspected conditions, substances, or features in
writing or by notation on plans or drawings provided by CLIENT. Even with adequate disclosure by CLIENT, HART CROWSER can only minimize these
risks by applying the standard of care of its profession, and CLIENT agrees to accept this level of risk. When HART CROWSER is providing field
HC T&C (November 2019) Sheet 1 of 2
255
services, CLIENT recognizes that the use of exploration and test equipment may unavoidably damage or alter the project property surface or
subsurface, and CLIENT agrees to assume responsibility for such unavoidable damages or alterations. Finally, CLIENT agrees to assume responsibility
for personal and property damages caused by HART CROWSER's interference with subterranean structures, including but not limited to pipes, tanks,
utility lines, passageways, tunnels, openings, or other such conditions, substances, or features that are not called to HART CROWSER's attention in
writing or correctly shown on plans or drawings provided by CLIENT.
8. REPORTS, RECOMMENDATIONS, OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS, AND ELECTRONIC DATA. Reports, recommendations, electronic data, and
other materials resulting from HART CROWSER's efforts are intended solely for the CLIENT, for the purposes of this AGREEMENT; any reuse by
CLIENT or others for purposes outside of this AGREEMENT, or any failure to follow HART CROWSER's recommendations without HART CROWSER's
written permission, shall be at the user's sole risk. CLIENT shall furnish such reports, data, studies, plans, specifications, documents, and other
information deemed necessary by HART CROWSER for proper performance of its services. HART CROWSER may rely upon CLIENT -provided
documents in performing the services required under this AGREEMENT; however, HART CROWSER assumes no responsibility or liability for their
accuracy. CLIENT -provided documents will remain property of CLIENT. After use by HART CROWSER, CLIENT -provided documents will be kept or
disposed of at HART CROWSER's sole discretion, unless return to the CLIENT has been previously agreed to by HART CROWSER. All proposals,
reports, field notes, calculations, estimates, electronic data, and other documents that are prepared as instruments of service, shall remain HART
CROWSER's property, and HART CROWSER shall retain copyrights to these materials. All proposals, reports, field notes, calculations, estimates,
electronic data, and other documents prepared by HART CROWSER are not Works Made for Hire as defined under the 1976 Copyright Act. HART
CROWSER will retain all pertinent records relating to services performed in accordance with HART CROWSER's normal records retention policy (copy
available upon request) unless HART CROWSER agrees to other arrangements. At CLIENT's expense and at CLIENT's request, CLIENT may obtain
copies of records retained by HART CROWSER. If CLIENT requests and HART CROWSER agrees to provide any information in electronic format, use
of all such information shall be at CLIENT's sole risk. Because of the possibility that electronic information and data delivered in machine readable form
may be altered, inadvertently or otherwise, HART CROWSER reserves the right to retain the original tapes and disks. HART CROWSER also reserves
the right to retain hard copy originals of all project documentation delivered to the CLIENT in machine readable form, which originals shall be referred to
and shall govern in the event of any inconsistency between the two. HART CROWSER MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING REPORTS,
9. FORCE MAJEURE. It shall be deemed that neither party to this AGREEMENT will be in default under the terms of this AGREEMENT if performance
of services is suspended or is prevented or prohibited by law; by inability to obtain permits or licenses; by scarcity or inability to obtain equipment,
material, power, fuel, data, or information from parties not under the express control of HART CROWSER; by strike, lockout, or industrial disturbance; by
failure of carriers to transport or furnish facilities for transportation; by operation of force majeure (including, without limitation, fire, lightning, earthquake,
storm, eruption, flood, washout, cave-in, slides), breakage, or accident to machinery or facilities; or by any cause or action of third parties beyond HART
CROWSER's control; provided, however, that HART CROWSER shall exercise reasonable diligence to resume services.
10. TERMINATION. This AGREEMENT may be terminated by either party upon receipt of written notice for (1) convenience, or (2) for substantial or
material failure to perform in accordance with terms hereof through no fault of the terminating party. Except for termination arising out of delinquency in
payment for HART CROWSER's services, such termination shall not be effective unless: (i) no less than seven (7) calendar days notice of intent to
terminate has been provided; (ii) the notice specifies "for convenience" or the nature of the substantial or material failure; and (iii) the notified party has
had an opportunity to consult with the terminating party to discuss the termination "for convenience" or cure the substantial failure before expiration of
the period specified in the written notice, which shall not be less than seven (7) calendar days. In the event of termination, HART CROWSER shall be
paid for services performed up to the termination date, and reasonable termination expenses, including all direct costs and all expenses incurred or
committed to that cannot be canceled without penalty. If CLIENT terminates for convenience, a termination charge of five percent (5%) of HART
CROWSER's total fee earned to date or $500, whichever is greater, will be immediately due and payable, in addition to the above costs.
11. CERTIFICATION. HART CROWSER shall not be required to execute any certification with regard to work or services performed, tested, or
observed under this AGREEMENT unless: i) HART CROWSER believes that sufficient work has been performed by HART CROWSER to provide an
adequate basis to issue the certification; ii) HART CROWSER believes that the work performed, tested, or observed meets the criteria of the
certification; and iii) the form of such certification has been approved by HART CROWSER, in writing, prior to execution of this AGREEMENT. Unless
expressly provided for otherwise in writing by HART CROWSER, a certification fee of $1,500 will be due and payable for the first certification HART
CROWSER has agreed to perform on this project and $750 for each additional certification.
12. SEVERABILITY AND SURVIVAL. Any element of this AGREEMENT later held to violate a law shall be deemed void, and all remaining provisions
shall continue in force. All Terms and Conditions of this AGREEMENT allocating liability between CLIENT and HART CROWSER, including in particular
Paragraphs 4 and 5, shall survive the completion of the services and the termination of this AGREEMENT.
13. INTERPRETATIONS AND TIME BAR TO LEGAL ACTION. Interpretations and enforcement of this AGREEMENT shall be governed by the laws
of the State of Washington. All legal actions of any kind by either party against the other related to this AGREEMENT (except actions for non-payment),
shall be barred after one (1) year has passed from the time the claimant knew or should have known of its claim, and under no circumstances shall be
initiated after two (2) years have passed from the date by which HART CROWSER completes its services.
14. DISPUTES RESOLUTION. Except as provided in the provisions for Payment, Paragraph 2, in the event of any dispute, claim, cause of action, or
other disagreement arising from or relating to this AGREEMENT, the parties shall in good faith use their best efforts to settle such dispute, claim, cause
of action, question, or disagreement. If they do not reach a settlement within sixty (60) days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to mediation before
resorting to litigation. If a dispute at law arises related to the services provided under this AGREEMENT, and such dispute cannot be resolved by
negotiation or mediation: (i) CLIENT assents to personal jurisdiction in the State of Washington; (ii) the claim will be brought and tried in either the
federal or state jurisdiction in the county where HART CROWSER's principal place of business is located, and CLIENT waives the right to transfer the
action to any other county or judicial jurisdiction; and (iii) the prevailing party will be entitled to recovery of all reasonable costs incurred, including staff
time, court costs, attorney fees, and other claim -related expenses.
15. PRECEDENCE AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT. These Terms and Conditions shall take precedence over any inconsistent or contradictory
provisions, oral or written, contained in any proposal, contract, purchase order, requisition, notice to proceed, or like document regarding HART
CROWSER's services. CLIENT and HART CROWSER agree that all provisions of these Terms and Conditions were mutually negotiated and
agreed upon, and that this AGREEMENT represents the entire AGREEMENT between the parties. No modification or alteration of any
provision of this AGREEMENT shall be binding upon either CLIENT or HART CROWSER, unless such modification or alteration is mutually
agreed to, is in writing, and is signed by the party against whom such modification or alteration is sought to be enforced.
16. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. This AGREEMENT shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Performance of this AGREEMENT may not be assigned by either party without the express written consent of the other, and
CLIENT shall not assign any of its legal remedies or courses of action arising from or relating to HART CROWSER's performance of or breach of this
AGREEMENT without the express written consent of HART CROWSER. No waiver of any right or remedy in respect of any occurrence shall be
deemed a wavier of such right or remedy in respect of such occurrence on any other occasion. CLIENT and HART CROWSER acknowledge that
they have had the opportunity to have this AGREEMENT and all matters related thereto, reviewed by their legal counsel.

E. Update: 42nd Avenue South Bridge Replacement Project
Staff is seeking Committee direction on next steps for the 42nd Avenue South Bridge
Replacement project. City Administrator, David Cline, reported on the various meetings he

Ave S Bridge. The feedback that they received was for the City to start design of the bridge
in order to have it "shovel ready". The Committee discussed the recommendation to move
forward with an in-depth structural inspection of the bridge, which is necessary to better
understand its current condition.
Committee question(s) requiring follow up
Is there a possibility of using Build America, PSRC, or State TIB grant funding for match?
Committee Recommendation
The Committee concurred with staff's recommendation of moving forward with all 3 Options
that were presented. The Committee approved moving forward with an in-depth structural
inspection and to begin the full design process, with the understanding that staff will
continue to pursue grant funding. Forward to Finance Committee for funding options on the
full design of 42nd Ave S Bridge.
