THE AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is made by and between CMJ ENGINEERING, INC., hereinafter referred to as CMJ, and the City of Coppell,
hereinafter referred to as CLIENT.
The AGREEMENT between the parties consists of these TERMS, the attached ESTIMATE identified as Estimate
No.13-063C dated April 12, 2013 and any exhibits or attachments noted in the ESTIMATE. Together, these elements will
constitute the entire AGREEMENT superseding any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, or agreements either written or
oral. Any changes to this AGREEMENT must be mutually agreed to in writing.
STANDARD OF CARE
CLIENT recognizes that subsurface conditions may vary from those observed at locations where borings, surveys, or explorations
are made, and that site conditions may change with time, Data, Interpretations, and recommendations by CMJ will be based
solely on information available to CMJ. CMJ is responsible for those data, interpretations, and recommendations, but will not be
responsible for other parties' interpretations or use of the information developed.
Services performed by CMJ under this AGREEMENT are expected by CLIENT to be conducted in a manner consistent with the
level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the CMT LABORATORY profession practicing contemporaneously under
similar conditions in the locality of the project. Under no circumstance is any warranty, expressed or implied, made in connection
with the providing of CMT LABORATORY services.
SITE ACCESS AND SITE CONDITIONS
CLIENT will grant or obtain free access to the site for all equipment and personnel necessary for CMJ to perform the work set
forth In this AGREEMENT. CLIENT will notify any and all possessors of the project site that CLIENT has granted CMJ free access
to the site, CMJ will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the site, but it is understood by CLIENT that in the
normal course of work, some damage may occur and the correction of such damage is not part of this AGREEMENT unless so
specified in the ESTIMATE.
CLIENT is responsible for accurately delineating the locations of all subterranean structures and utilities. CMJ will take reasonable
precautions to avoid known subterranean structures, and CLIENT waives any claim against CMJ arising from damage done to
subterranean structures and utilities not identified or accurately located.

RISK ALLOCATION
Many risks potentially affect CMJ by virtue of entering Into this AGREEMENT to perform professional engineering services on
behalf of CLIENT. The principal risk is the potential for human error by CMJ. For CLIENT to obtain the benefit of a fee which
includes a nominal allowance for dealing with CMJ'S liability, CLIENT agrees to limit CMJ'S liability to CLIENT and to all other
parties for claims arising out of CMJ'S performance of the services described In this AGREEMENT. The aggregate liability of CMJ
will not exceed the amount of the CMJ'S fee for negligent professional acts, errors, or omissions,
Limitations on liability and indemnities in this AGREEMENT are business understandings between the parties voluntarily and
knowingly entered Into, and shall apply to all theories of recovery including, but not limited to breach of contract, warranty, tort
(including negligence), strict or statutory liability, or any other cause of action, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The parties also agree that CLIENT will not seek damages in excess of the limitations indirectly through suits with other parties
who may join CMJ as a third-party defendant. Parties means CLIENT and CMJ and their officers, employees, agents, affiliates,
and subcontractors.
Both CLIENT and CMJ agree that they will not be liable to each other, under any circumstances, for special, indirect,
consequential,or punitive damages arising out of or related to this AGREEMENT.
DISCOVERY OF UNANTICIPATED HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
CLIENT represents that CLIENT has made a reasonable effort to evaluate if hazardous materials are on or near the project site,
and that CLIENT has informed CMJ of CLIENT's findings relative to the possible presence of such materials.
Hazardous materials may exist at a site where there is no reason to believe they could or should be present. CMJ and CLIENT
agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating a renegotiation of the
scope of work or termination of services, CMJ and CLIENT also agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials
may make it necessary for CMJ to take immediate measures to protect health and safety. CLIENT agrees to compensate CMJ for
any equipment decontamination or other costs incident to the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials.
CMJ agrees to notify CLIENT when unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials are encountered. CLIENT
agrees to make any disclosures required by law to the appropriate governing agencies. CLIENT also agrees to hold CMJ harmless
for any and all consequences of disclosures made by CMJ which are required by governing law. In the event the project site is
not owned by CLIENT, CLIENT recognizes that it is CLIENT'S responsibility to Inform the property owner of the discovery of
unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the AGREEMENT, CLIENT waives any claim against CMJ arising from CMJ'S discovery of
unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials, Including, but not limited to, any costs created by delay of
the project and any cost associated with possible reduction of the property's value.
CLIENT will be responsible for ultimate disposal of any samples secured by CMJ which are found to be contaminated, This
includes any soil or rock cuttings, and contaminated drilling or wash water which is generated as a consequence of drilling
activities.
