Pledge of Allegiance, Introduction of Members and Guests Review September Board Minutes (Action): Holly Higgins motioned to approve as presented. Kayla Vokral seconded. Motion passed. Congressional Updates: Emily Schneller, Rep. Rosendale’s Rep: Congress back in session. Forestry bill and some veteran legislation may be passed into law. Unlikely until 2025 or 2026. Corporate Transparency Act – businesses have to report beneficial ownership information. Unable to hear the rest – something with a transmission line connecting in Colstrip Emily’s last time joining us as Congressman Rosendale’s representative. We might possibly see her next year in another capacity. Steve Riveland thanked Emily for everything (& the rest of the board did too!). 31 Page 5 Review of Constitutional By-laws (Joel) Some changes were made after the last Executive Committee meeting. This is still a working copy; email Joel if there is anything you want to add or change. Action taken next meeting. Majority of changes were in term limits for officers and tenure (Section 5). Increase to MOU Dues (Joel) Looking at increase to per capita costs for MOUs. Auditor costs increased quite a bit, inflation, and costs to upgrade software for loans all requires more money. For smaller counties, the increase will be under $1,000. 10 cents/capita increase for 4 counties; 7-8 cents/capita increase for Yellowstone due to much larger population. o Ryan: Most CRDCs are over $1/capita, so Beartooth is still a good bang for your buck. 2023 Audit Any comments or questions can be directed to Nan. She is happy with it. New software, reconciling previous books, etc. has made it much better. Ryan: Taking on some new programs like Brownfields demanded certain requirements, so we’ve been staying up on it. Audit costs will go up due to increased programs and being over the $750,000 threshold. ACTION: Melanie Roe moved to approve the financial audit for 2023 as presented. Tina Toyne seconded. Motion carried. Treasurer / Financial Reports (Nan on phone, traveling from conference) 1. Treasurer Update a. Don asked about the $90,000 overdue. New way of federal reporting guidelines. We have 2 loans that we are working with them / restructuring loan terms, but it still shows up as “past 90 days.” They are still paying, but from their original note to where they are now, they are still past due, but they are paying extra to catch up. We allowed RLF clients to defer payments for a few months during COVID, so that has an impact on that as well. 2. RLF & RC&DvFinancials a. Loans paid off in Yellowstone and Sweet Grass (Big Timber Bakery). b. Closed on IRP funding. c. Melanie: Bank of Joliet has a RMAP Loan Loss. What is that? i. As a USDA loan, we are required to have 6% set aside as loan loss. d. We have $2.5 million to loan out. With new IRP funds, we can loan out up to $400,000. ACTION: Holly Higgins motioned to approve the RC&D and RLF financials as presented. Melanie seconded. Motion carried.

Everything is going well! Dan Lowe, Big Horn County Conservation District Aquatic Safety Check Stations – just under 10,000 inspections conducted this year o Tough to get people to work 310 permits – most are for livestock crossings across streams. This involved FWP and anyone else interested in the process Talk about best way to share the successes of the conservation district – most residents don’t know all the good they do. Commissioner Don Jones, Yellowstone County: Army National Guard station up by the airport – moving a lot of dirt & will be a great addition Landfill going in on Hwy 87 34 Page 8 Metra is almost done with major construction (ARPA money). Will be building a $2.5 million rodeo arena outside behind the Expo building. Will be ready for Fair. 3000 seats. o The Nile will be taking over the rodeo for the Fair Prison in Deer Lodge sent a couple prisoners (they are both in prison for life) over to talk to teen offenders. They sat down to talk to the juvenile delinquents. Interesting for the kids to hear what things will be like in prison and hopefully help straighten them out. Ground broken on new detention center. Room for 36 on one floor and will do a second floor. Up to a $8 million project now. Martin DeWitt, Small Business Association National Small Business Week awards – nominate if you have anyone in mind o Small Business Owner of the Year, Exporter of the Year, Business Champion of the Year, and others o Creates marketing opportunities for the business AND the person who nominates them FEMA & National Office of Disaster Relief & Resiliency were at Crow Agency. Tribe applied for an emergency declaration of funds; will put a Disaster Recovery Center in Crow Agency Kayla Vokral, SBDC Holiday Gift Guide – over 46 businesses in this digital guide with direct links to businesses. Will stay on website through Jan. 1 Small Business Saturday is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Shop local! Expert Week and Small Business Summit: Loved having Beartooth staff there! Great connections and feedback from vendors and participants. Worked on a GTA grant with Joel for Marble Table. We send a lot of Ag and loan clients to Joel and Nan (and vice versa) and appreciate our partnership with Beartooth. Kayla/Lorene: Steve Arveschoug is retiring in April. BSED is working with an Jorgenson Pace to search for a new Executive Director. Steve has been there 16 years and does a great job – big shoes to fill. Lorene Hintz, SBDC Planning a Startup Roadmap in Columbus targeted at the laid off miners. On Dec. 9th there will be 2 opportunities – morning and afternoon. St. Vincent’s new hospital – 14 stories, 1 billion dollars. Applied for Brownfields funding. Thom does a great job, and this will reload their funding. Commissioner Steve Riveland, Stillwater County Biggest news is the mine layoffs. Working with partners – Dept. of Labor, Beartooth, and others – to help in any way possible. Completing a $3.6M 4-story elevator project on courthouse. Should be done by end of Dec. The same day as the mine layoffs, the County pulled the trigger on a new Law & Justice Center. Put it on hold the following week for one year. They have the cash, but the timing is bad. Sending off Commissioner Hamilton & welcoming new Commissioner Roger Webb on Jan. 1st. New Town Pump going up by McDonalds. 35 Page 9 Tina Toyne, City of Hardin: County Housing Study is going well. Gaurav’s involvement has been great. Community surveys are out, & we are halfway to Ayres’ goal for participation so far. Hope to wrap up 1st quarter 2025. No proposals received for Infill and Redevelopment RFP, so we sent it out to several firms & hope to get some proposals in January. Brenda Maas, Executive Director from Visit SEMT, is moving back home & leaving her position. Spread the word that they are looking for a new Director. Tina is rejoining the board in December. Received MT Main Street Grant of $45,000 for a PAR for Adaptive Reuse and Mixed Use for the Hotel Becker. Pilot Tourism Grant Steering Committee is meeting to reapply for that grant. Bair’s Truck Stop is completely gone – just a big open space. Not sure what is happening there. Dairy Queen is hopefully opening up again soon as will the Dollar General. Holly Higgins, First Interstate Bank of Hardin: Family Dollar and Dollar Tree also in Hardin – all owned by same company, and many are closing across the nation. No word that one of these will close in Hardin at this point. New subscription-based medical facility starting up. Will have monthly subscription to do maintenance stuff ($20-$25/month). If it’s more complicated (like addiction issues), the fee will be more as he works to get people off those substances. Will not take insurance or Medicare/Medicaid. Might help with some medical needs in community. Be aware of the scam going on with skimmers. If you are using gas stations or ATMs and you insert your card, the skimmers grab your number. If you use contactless pay, that is safe. You can’t tell the skimmer is there, so just be careful. For ATMs, they often have 3 green lights; if one of them is red, stay away because that means something is wrong. Ryan Van Ballegooyen, Dept of Labor / Job Service: Spent last week with 50 employees from across the state at the Civic Center last week. Reached 400- 500 miners in some capacity. Going back to speak to approximately 200 at their request. o They are going to many different states, some leaving family in Montana. So we are working with mental health services, resume assistance, training, etc. o Public assistance and childcare resources were there. If anyone wants to start a childcare program, we can provide some help for that b/c it is a huge need. o Shopping for a leased space in Columbus to set up a quasi-job service for a while. Discussion of tertiary impacts of the layoffs (e.g. store owners impacted due to mine layoffs). Best guess is that Yellowstone County has about 400 of the layoffs, Sweet Grass has 170. Danny Choriki, Ubet Post: Was in Tampa last week for a technology conference. AI’s ability to search masses of text and come back with intelligent answers is amazing. Had first round table on droids, so that is coming. City of Billings has not turned around the teen violence problem we’re seeing here. Law Enforcement is focused on it, but it continues to grow.

Laurel Transit: Laurel Transit (also referred to as the transit system) is working to provide a successful on- demand service for public transportation within the City limits of Laurel while offering regular service to Billings. Laurel Transit is looking to contract with as many agencies in the area as possible to provide expanded service. It is currently not feasible for Laurel to have a fixed route system; however, accommodations for such a system are being discussed such as bus benches and signs within the City. Laurel Transit Schedules: Laurel Transit operates Monday-Friday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. The Billings service route begins at 7:30 and in-town service begins at 10:00 am. Agencies Involved: Adult Resource Alliance of Yellowstone County -- ARAYC has partnered with the City of Laurel to provide the driver for the bus and the cell phone. ARAYC previously operated the senior bus in Laurel, which was absorbed with the formation of Laurel Transit. The City works very closely with ARAYC to ensure the level of service delivered through the senior bus program is continued in Laurel Transit. Tender Nest Assisted Living—Contact with Tender Nest Assisted Living continues, and the facility has contracted with the City for vouchers. COR – There is a plan to include COR in future TAC meetings. Riverstone Health – The transit system is working to contract demand/response service for Riverstone Health patients. 72 3 | P a g e Laurel Senior Center – The Sprinter bus is currently stored in a garage at the Senior Center.

MET- contact with MET in Billings has been made in hopes to grow the Laurel Transit system and gain new ideas. Public Involvement: The Transportation Advisory Committee meets quarterly. Meetings notices are published on the City of Laurel website and at City Hall. Meetings are open to the general public. For more participation at TAC meetings, more community outreach will be done to involve public participation. Private Sector: The City of Laurel does not have any private transportation system available. Needs Assessment and Plan to Increase Ridership: The Laurel Transit will be starting focus groups this fiscal year in order to determine the needs of the community and their transit provider. The focus groups will include current riding members, City staff, other transportation providers, healthcare employers, and other members from the community. The groups will focus on the current challenges the transit program faces and get a better idea of how to improve the system. The City was awarded a grant for a new 14- passenger bus. The date of delivery is still unknown. The Laurel Transit System has stepped up its ad vertising strategies by designing and distributing flyers with route information and publishing that flyer in the Laurel Outlook on a regular basis.

Page 1 AGREEMENT BETWEEN OWNER AND ENGINEER FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TASK ORDER EDITION THIS IS AN AGREEMENT effective as of January 14, 2025 (“Effective Date of the Agreement”) between City of Laurel (“Owner”) and Triple Tree Engineering, Inc. (“Engineer”). Other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Article 7. From time to time Owner may request that Engineer provide professional services for Specific Projects. Each engagement will be documented by a Task Order. This Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions which shall apply to all Task Orders duly executed under this Agreement. Owner and Engineer further agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 – SERVICES OF ENGINEER 1.01 Scope A. Engineer’s services will be detailed in a duly executed Task Order for each Specific Project. The general format of a Task Order is shown in Attachment 1 to this Agreement. Each Task Order will indicate the specific services to be performed and deliverables to be provided. B. This Agreement is not a commitment by Owner to Engineer to issue any Task Orders. C. Engineer shall not be obligated to perform any prospective Task Order unless and until Owner and Engineer agree as to the particulars of the Specific Project, including the scope of Engineer's services, time for performance, Engineer's compensation, and all other appropriate matters. D. Engineer shall provide monthly progress status updates to the LURA board; summarizing the project status and progress made the previous month on all open task orders. 1.02 Task Order Procedure A. Owner and Engineer shall agree on the scope, time for performance, and basis of compensation for each Task Order. With respect to the scope of Engineer’s services, each specific Task Order shall either (1) be accompanied by and incorporate a customized Exhibit A, “Engineer’s Services for Task Order,” prepared for the Specific Project, (2) state the scope of services in the Task Order document itself, or (3) incorporate by reference all or portions of Exhibit A, “Engineer’s Services for Task Order,” as attached to this Agreement. Each duly executed Task Order shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. B. Engineer will commence performance as set forth in the Task Order. 101 EJCDC® E-505, Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services – Task Order Edition. Copyright © 2014 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 2 C. Engineer shall provide, or cause to be provided, the services set forth in the Task Order. ARTICLE 2 – OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES 2.01 General A. Owner shall have the responsibilities set forth in this Agreement; in Exhibit B, "Owner's Responsibilities"; and in each Task Order. B. Owner shall pay Engineer as set forth in each Task Order, pursuant to the applicable terms of Article 4 and Exhibit C. C. Owner shall be responsible for all requirements and instructions that it furnishes to Engineer pursuant to this Agreement, and for the accuracy and completeness of all programs, reports, data, and other information furnished by Owner to Engineer pursuant to this Agreement; such responsibility extends to requirements, instructions, programs, reports, data, and other information furnished by Owner pursuant to any Task Order. Engineer may use and rely upon such requirements, programs, instructions, reports, data, and information in performing or furnishing services under this Agreement, subject to any express limitations or reservations applicable to the furnished items. D. Owner shall give prompt written notice to Engineer whenever Owner observes or otherwise becomes aware of: (1) any development that affects the scope or time of performance of Engineer’s services; (2) the presence at the Site of any Constituent of Concern; or (3) any relevant, material defect or nonconformance in Engineer’s services, the Work, the performance of any Constructor, or in Owner’s performance of its responsibilities under this Agreement. ARTICLE 3 – TERM; TIMES FOR RENDERING SERVICES 3.01 Term A. This Agreement shall be effective and applicable to Task Orders issued hereunder for 3 years from the Effective Date of the Agreement. B. The parties may extend or renew this Agreement (up to two 1-year extensions), with or without changes, by written instrument establishing a new term. 3.02 Times for Rendering Services A. The Effective Date of the Task Order and the times for completing services or providing deliverables will be stated in each Task Order. Engineer is authorized to begin rendering services under a Task Order as of the Effective Date of the Task Order. B. If, through no fault of Engineer, such periods of time or dates are changed, or the orderly and continuous progress of Engineer’s services is impaired, or Engineer’s services are delayed or suspended, then the time for completion of Engineer’s services, and the rates and amounts of Engineer’s compensation, shall be adjusted equitably. C. If Owner authorizes changes in the scope, extent, or character of the Specific Project, or Engineer’s services, then the time for completion of Engineer’s services, and the rates and amounts of Engineer’s compensation, shall be adjusted equitably. 102 EJCDC® E-505, Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services – Task Order Edition. Copyright © 2014 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 3 D. Owner shall make decisions and carry out its other responsibilities in a timely manner so as not to delay the Engineer’s performance of its services. E. If Engineer fails, through its own fault, to complete the performance required in a Task Order within the time set forth, as duly adjusted, then Owner shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to the recovery of direct damages, if any, resulting from such failure. F. With respect to each Task Order, the number of Construction Contracts for Work designed or specified by Engineer upon which the Engineer's compensation has been established shall be identified in the Task Order. If the Work designed or specified by Engineer under a Task Order is to be performed or furnished under more than one prime contract, or if Engineer's services are to be separately sequenced with the work of one or more prime Contractors (such as in the case of fast-tracking), then the Task Order will state the schedule for performance of Engineer's services in order to sequence and properly coordinate such services as are applicable to the Work under the Construction Contracts. If the Task Order does not address such sequencing and coordination, then Owner and Engineer shall jointly develop a schedule for sequencing and coordination of services prior to commencement of final design services; this schedule is to be prepared and included in or become an amendment to the authorizing Task Order whether or not the work under such contracts is to proceed concurrently. ARTICLE 4 – INVOICES AND PAYMENTS 4.01 Invoices A. Preparation and Submittal of Invoices: Engineer shall prepare invoices in accordance with its standard invoicing practices, the terms of Exhibit C, and the specific Task Order. Engineer shall submit its invoices to Owner on a monthly basis. Invoices are due and payable within 30 days of receipt. 4.02 Payments A. Application to Interest and Principal: Payment will be credited first to any interest owed to Engineer and then to principal. B. Failure to Pay: If Owner fails to make any payment due Engineer for services and expenses within 30 days after receipt of Engineer’s invoice, then: 1. amounts due Engineer will be increased at the rate of 1.0% per month (or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law, if less) from said thirtieth day; and 2. Engineer may, after giving seven days written notice to Owner, suspend services under any Task Order issued until Owner has paid in full all amounts due for services, expenses, and other related charges. Owner waives any and all claims against Engineer for any such suspension. C. Disputed Invoices: If Owner disputes an invoice, either as to amount or entitlement, then Owner shall promptly advise Engineer in writing of the specific basis for doing so, may withhold only that portion so disputed, and must pay the undisputed portion subject to the terms of Paragraph 4.01. D. Sales or Use Taxes: If after the Effective Date of a Task Order any governmental entity takes a legislative action that imposes additional sales or use taxes on Engineer’s services or compensation under the Task Order, then Engineer may invoice such additional sales or use taxes for reimbursement by Owner. Owner shall reimburse Engineer for the cost of such invoiced additional sales or use taxes; such reimbursement 103 EJCDC® E-505, Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services – Task Order Edition. Copyright © 2014 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 4 shall be in addition to the compensation to which Engineer is entitled under the terms of Exhibit C and the specific Task Order. ARTICLE 5 – OPINIONS OF COST 5.01 Opinions of Probable Construction Cost A. Engineer’s opinions (if any) of probable Construction Cost are to be made on the basis of Engineer’s experience, qualifications, and general familiarity with the construction industry. However, because Engineer has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, or services furnished by others, or over contractors’ methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, Engineer cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual Construction Cost will not vary from opinions of probable Construction Cost prepared by Engineer. If Owner requires greater assurance as to probable Construction Cost, then Owner agrees to obtain an independent cost estimate. 5.02 Designing to Construction Cost Limit A. If a Construction Cost limit for a Specific Project is established between Owner and Engineer in a Task Order, then such Construction Cost limit and Engineer’s rights and responsibilities with respect thereto will be governed by Exhibit F, “Construction Cost Limit,” which shall be attached to and incorporated in the Task Order. If no Construction Cost limit is established in a Task Order, then Exhibit F does not apply. 5.03 Opinions of Total Project Costs A. The services, if any, of Engineer with respect to Total Project Costs for a Specific Project shall be limited to assisting the Owner in tabulating the various categories that comprise Total Project Costs. Engineer assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of any opinions of Total Project Costs. ARTICLE 6 – GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS 6.01 Standards of Performance A. Standard of Care: The standard of care for all professional engineering and related services performed or furnished by Engineer under this Agreement will be the care and skill ordinarily used by members of the subject profession practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in the same locality. Engineer makes no warranties, express or implied, under this Agreement or otherwise, in connection with any services performed or furnished by Engineer. B. Technical Accuracy: Owner shall not be responsible for discovering deficiencies in the technical accuracy of Engineer’s services. Engineer shall correct deficiencies in technical accuracy without additional compensation, unless such corrective action is directly attributable to deficiencies in Owner-furnished information. C. Consultants: Engineer may retain such Consultants as Engineer deems necessary to assist in the performance or furnishing of the services, subject to reasonable, timely, and substantive objections by Owner. D. Reliance on Others: Subject to the standard of care set forth in Paragraph 6.01.A, Engineer and its Consultants may use or rely upon design elements and information ordinarily or customarily furnished by 104 EJCDC® E-505, Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services – Task Order Edition. Copyright © 2014 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations, and Policies and Procedures 1. Engineer and Owner shall comply with applicable Laws and Regulations. 2. Engineer shall comply with the policies, procedures, and instructions of Owner that are applicable to Engineer's performance of services under this Agreement and that Owner provides to Engineer in writing, subject to the standard of care set forth in Paragraph 6.01.A, and to the extent compliance is not inconsistent with professional practice requirements. 3. Each Task Order is based on Laws and Regulations and Owner-provided written policies and procedures as of the Effective Date of the Task Order. The following may be the basis for modifications to Owner’s responsibilities or to Engineer’s scope of services, times of performance, or compensation: a. changes after the Effective Date of the Task Order to Laws and Regulations; b. the receipt by Engineer after the Effective Date of the Task Order of Owner-provided written policies and procedures; c. changes after the Effective Date of the Task Order to Owner-provided policies or procedures. F. Engineer shall not be required to sign any document, no matter by whom requested, that would result in Engineer having to certify, guarantee, or warrant the existence of conditions whose existence Engineer cannot ascertain within its services for that Specific Project. Owner agrees not to make resolution of any dispute with Engineer or payment of any amount due to the Engineer in any way contingent upon Engineer signing any such document. G. The general conditions for any construction contract documents prepared hereunder are to be EJCDC® C- 700 "Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract" (2013 Edition), prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee, unless expressly indicated otherwise in Exhibit J or in the specific Task Order. H. Engineer shall not at any time supervise, direct, control, or have authority over any Constructor’s work, nor shall Engineer have authority over or be responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by any Constructor, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, for security or safety at the Site, nor for any failure of a Constructor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to such Constructor’s furnishing and performing of its work. Engineer shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any Constructor. I. Engineer neither guarantees the performance of any Constructor nor assumes responsibility for any Constructor’s failure to furnish and perform the Work in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents. J. Engineer shall not be responsible for any decision made regarding the Construction Contract Documents, or any application, interpretation, clarification, or modification of the Construction Contract Documents, other than those made by Engineer or its Consultants. 105 EJCDC® E-505, Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services – Task Order Edition.

N. While at a Site, Engineer, its Consultant, and their employees and representatives shall comply with the applicable requirements of Contractor's and Owner's safety programs of which Engineer has been informed in writing. 6.02 Design Without Construction Phase Services A. For each design performed or furnished, Engineer shall be responsible only for those Construction Phase services that have been expressly required of Engineer in the authorizing Task Order. With the exception of such expressly required services, Engineer shall have no design, Shop Drawing review, or other obligations during construction, and Owner assumes all responsibility for the application and interpretation of the Construction Contract Documents, review and response to Contractor claims, Construction Contract administration, processing of Change Orders and submittals, revisions to the Construction Contract Documents during construction, construction observation and review, review of Contractor’s payment applications, and all other necessary Construction Phase administrative, engineering, and professional services.

D. If Engineer at Owner’s request verifies the suitability of the Documents, completes them, or adapts them for extensions of the Specific Project or for any other purpose, then Owner shall compensate Engineer at rates or in an amount to be agreed upon by Owner and Engineer. 6.04 Electronic Transmittals A. Owner and Engineer may transmit, and shall accept, Specific Project-related correspondence, Documents, text, data, drawings, information, and graphics, in electronic media or digital format, either directly, or through access to a secure Specific Project website, in accordance with a mutually agreeable protocol. B. If this Agreement or a Task Order does not establish protocols for electronic or digital transmittals, then Owner and Engineer shall jointly develop such protocols. C. When transmitting items in electronic media or digital format, the transmitting party makes no representations as to long term compatibility, usability, or readability of the items resulting from the recipient’s use of software application packages, operating systems, or computer hardware differing from those used in the drafting or transmittal of the items, or from those established in applicable transmittal protocols. 6.05 Insurance A.

Inspections and Tests: a. Receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals required by Laws and Regulations or the Construction Contract Documents. Engineer’s review of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results certified indicate compliance with the Construction Contract Documents and will not constitute an independent evaluation that the content or procedures of such inspections, tests, or approvals comply with the requirements of the Construction Contract Documents. Engineer shall be entitled to rely on the results of such inspections and tests. b. As deemed reasonably necessary, request that Contractor uncover Work that is to be inspected, tested, or approved. c. Pursuant to the terms of the Construction Contract, require additional inspections or testing of the Work, whether or not the Work is fabricated, installed, or completed. 20. Change Proposals and Claims: (a) Review and respond to Change Proposals. Review each duly submitted Change Proposal from Contractor and, within 30 days after receipt of the Contractor’s supporting data, either deny the Change Proposal in whole, approve it in whole, or deny it in part and approve it in part. Such actions shall be in writing, with a copy provided to Owner and Contractor. If the Change Proposal does not involve the design (as set forth in the Drawings, Specifications, or otherwise), the acceptability of the Work, or other engineering or technical matters, then Engineer will notify the parties that the Engineer will not resolve the Change Proposal. (b) Provide information or data to Owner regarding engineering or technical matters pertaining to Claims. 21. Applications for Payment: Based on Engineer’s observations as an experienced and qualified design professional and on review of Applications for Payment and accompanying supporting documentation: a. Determine the amounts that Engineer recommends Contractor be paid. Recommend reductions in payment (set-offs) based on the provisions for set-offs stated in the Construction Contract. Such recommendations of payment will be in writing and will constitute Engineer’s representation to Owner, based on such observations and review, that, to the best of Engineer’s knowledge, information and belief, Contractor’s Work has progressed to the point indicated, the Work is generally in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Construction Contract Documents, and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation), and the conditions precedent to Contractor’s being entitled to such 134 Exhibit A – Engineer's Services EJCDC® E-505, Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services – Task Order Edition. Copyright © 2014 National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies, and American Society of Civil Engineers. All rights reserved. Page 10 payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer’s responsibility to observe the Work. In the case of unit price work, Engineer’s recommendations of payment will include final determinations of quantities and classifications of the Work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Construction Contract Documents). b. By recommending payment, Engineer shall not thereby be deemed to have represented that observations made by Engineer to check the quality or quantity of Contractor’s Work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of Contractor’s Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in the Agreement or this Task Order. Neither Engineer’s review of Contractor’s Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor Engineer’s recommendation of any payment including final payment will impose on Engineer responsibility to supervise, direct, or control the Work, or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or safety precautions or programs incident thereto, or Contractor’s compliance with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s furnishing and performing the Work. It will also not impose responsibility on Engineer to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes Contractor has used the money paid to Contractor by Owner; to determine that title to any portion of the Work, including materials or equipment, has passed to Owner free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances; or that there may not be other matters at issue between Owner and Contractor that might affect the amount that should be paid. 22. Contractor’s Completion Documents: Receive from Contractor, review, and transmit to Owner maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required by the Construction Contract Documents, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, and Shop Drawings, Samples, and other data approved as provided under Paragraph A1.05.A.17. Receive from Contractor, review, and transmit to Owner the annotated record documents which are to be assembled by Contractor in accordance with the Construction Contract Documents to obtain final payment. The extent of Engineer’s review of record documents shall be to check that Contractor has submitted all pages. 23. Substantial Completion: Promptly after notice from Contractor that Contractor considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, in company with Owner and Contractor, visit the Site to review the Work and determine the status of completion. Follow the procedures in the Construction Contract regarding the preliminary certificate of Substantial Completion, punch list of items to be completed, Owner’s objections, notice to Contractor, and issuance of a final certificate of Substantial Completion. Assist Owner regarding any remaining engineering or technical matters affecting Owner’s use or occupancy of the Work following Substantial Completion. 24. Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work: Conduct a final visit to the specific Project to determine if the Work is complete and acceptable so that Engineer may recommend, in writing, final payment to Contractor. Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, Engineer shall also provide a notice to Owner and Contractor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (“Notice of Acceptability of Work”) (also available as a construction form, EJCDC® C-626 (2013)) that the Work is acceptable (subject to the provisions of the Notice and Paragraph A1.05.A.21.b) to the best of Engineer’s knowledge, information, and belief, and based on the extent of the services provided by Engineer under the Agreement and this Task Order. 135 Exhibit A – Engineer's Services EJCDC® E-505, Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services – Task Order Edition.
