Re: Proposal for Professional Surveying and Civil Engineering Services for the
ECO Trails - Dowd Junction to North Minturn Segment (Eagle County, CO)
Dear Kevin:
Please find the following proposal to complete the design and prepare construction documents for the ECO Trails
-Dowd Junction to North Minturn Segment. IME will coordinate with other design team consultants (either sub-
contracted under IME or directly contracted with ECO Trails) to obtain approvals and to prepare the construction
documents after the trail alignment has been finalized by IME. The following scope of work in anticipated by
Inter-Mountain Engineering.
SCOPE OF WORK:
PHASE I – 90% DESIGN DOCUMENTS
After a final site walk and alignment confirmation, IME will continue to build upon the current trail alignment
along the easterly side of the County Rd. Based on comments and feedback from the County, Town, USFS, SLB,
and UPRR, IME will prepare 90% design documents for submittal and review. The following scope of work is
anticipated:
1. Project Management, Meetings, & Coordination:
Inter-Mountain Engineering (IME) will provide general project management and coordination via phone call
and emails with the Client, Town, USFS, SLB, UPRR, and other design team consultants. Throughout the
project’s design the following meetings are anticipated for project updates and during project milestones to
ensure project design issues are coordinated and/or resolved, and submittal milestones are met.
• (6) bi-weekly virtual team meetings
• (2) progress meetings (1-virtual, 1-in-person) for submittals
• (2) field site visits
2. Prepare Phase I Environmental Site Assessment/NEPA Studies:
Completed*
*IME assumes the most recent environmental studies performed in 2016-2017 are assumed to be valid and
no updates will be required for the project. If these reports are not valid, this task will be required and IME
will coordinate with subconsultants to update the outdated environmental studies

General Conditions
These General Conditions are incorporated into and made a part of Inter-Mountain Engineering’s Proposal and Agreement
for Services.
I. Responsibilities of Inter-Mountain Engineering:
A. IME will perform professional engineering and/or professional surveying services as specified under “Basic Services” and when
authorized, “Additional Services”.
II. Responsibilities of Client:
A. Provide all criteria and full information as to the requirements of the project. Furnish all appropriate tests, reports, and surveys
not included in Basic Services. A Title Insurance policy shall be provided when a survey is included in Basic Services.IME shall be
entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of such information.
B. Render approvals and decisions as expeditiously as necessary for the orderly progress of IME services.
C. Give prompt notice to IME of any development that affects the scope or timing of its services.
D. Coordinate the services of IME with those of others.
E. Give complete and careful consideration to services and recommendations provided by IME.
F. Provide "Right of Entry" for IME and all necessary equipment. IME will take reasonable care to reduce damage to property,
however, it is understood that in the normal course of work, some damage will occur, the repair of which is not part of this
agreement.
G. Delineate the location of all utility lines and subterranean structures within the property. IME shall not be responsible for
damage resulting from their incorrect location.
H. Recognize that subsurface conditions may vary from those encountered at the locations where explorations are made, and that
data, interpretations and recommendations made by IME are based solely on the information available to it.
I. Make a reasonable effort to evaluate whether hazardous materials are on or near the project site and inform IME of any
information or findings relative to the possible presence of such materials. Should unanticipated hazardous material be discovered
in the course of the performance of services under the Agreement, such discovery shall constitute a changed condition mandating
a renegotiation of the scope of work or termination of services. Should the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials require
IME to take immediate measures to protect health and safety, Client agrees to compensate IME for costs incident to taking such
measures and for any equipment decontamination required. IME agrees to notify Client promptly when unanticipated hazardous
materials or suspected hazardous materials are encountered. Client agrees to make any disclosure required by law to appropriate
government agencies. Furthermore, Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold IME harmless from any and all liability arising
from discovery by anyone of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials.
III. Compensation:
A. IME shall submit invoices to client monthly and a final bill upon completion of services. The Client shall review the invoices
promptly. The Client shall, within 10 days, either approve the invoice for payment or notify IME of any disputed invoices. The
Client and IME shall confer and attempt to resolve such disputed invoices. Undisputed invoices are due upon presentation, and
past due 30 days after the invoice date. Disputed invoices are due upon resolution and past due 45 days after the invoice date.
Client agrees to pay a service charge of 1 3/4 percent per month on past due accounts.
B. If it becomes necessary to enforce collection, client agrees to pay all costs of collection, including attorney's fees.
C. It is understood that estimates of professional fees are based upon the preparation of designs, reports, or surveys for a single
design concept or site plan, and that changes to that concept or additional engineering required by governing agencies (except
normal "Redlines") shall constitute an increase in the scope of services. Additional Services ("Additional Services") shall be billed
at the normal billing rates for the individuals assigned to the work. No Additional Services will be provided without prior
authorization.
IV. Standard of Care:
A. Services of IME under this agreement will be performed in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by reputable members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the locality of the project.
V. Dispute Resolution:
A. In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design and construction of the Project or following the completion of the
Project, the Client and IME agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Project shall be
submitted to nonbinding mediation unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
B. The Client and IME further agree to include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with independent contractors and
consultants retained for the Project and to require all independent contractors and consultants also to include a similar mediation
provision in all agreements with their subcontractors, subconsultants, suppliers and fabricators, thereby providing for mediation as
the primary method for dispute resolution between the parties to all those agreements.
VI. Indemnification:
A. IME agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the Client, its officers, directors and
employees (collectively, Client) against all damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs, to
the extent caused by IME's negligent performance of professional services under this Agreement and that of its subconsultants or
anyone for whom IME is legally liable.
B. The Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless IME, its officers, directors, employees
and subconsultants (collectively, IME) against all damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and defense

costs, to the extent caused by the Client's negligent acts in connection with the Project and the acts of its contractors,
subcontractors or consultants or anyone for whom the Client is legally liable.
C. Neither the Client nor IME shall be obligated to indemnify the other party in any manner whatsoever for the other party's own
negligence.
VII.Corporate Protection
A. IME's services in connection with the Project shall not subject IME's individual employees, officers or directors to any personal
legal exposure for the risks associated with this Project. Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Client agrees that as the Client's sole and exclusive remedy, any claim, demand or suit shall be directed and/or asserted
only against IME, a Colorado corporation, and not against any of IME's individual employees, officers or directors.
VIII. Risk Allocation:
A. IME liability for damages to client arising from negligent acts, errors or omissions, will be limited to an aggregate amount not to
exceed $50,000 or the total fee under this agreement, whichever is greater. This limitation shall apply to IME, its officers and
employees.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Client nor IME,
their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, contractors or subconsultants shall be liable to the other or shall make any
claim for any incidental, indirect or consequential damages arising out of or connected in any way to the Project or to this
Agreement. This mutual waiver of consequential damages shall include, but is not limited to, loss of use, loss of profit, loss of
business, loss of income, loss of reputation or any other consequential damages that either party may have incurred from any
cause of action including negligence, strict liability, breach of contract and breach of strict or implied warranty. Both the Client and
IME shall require similar waivers of consequential damages protecting all the entities or persons named herein in all contracts and
subcontracts with others involved in this project.
IX. Ownership of Documents:
A. All reports, drawings, specifications, notes and other documents prepared by IME in the course of providing services are
instruments of service and shall remain the property of IME. These documents are not intended to be suitable for reuse on
extensions of this project or for use on any other project. Documents shall not be altered in any manner without the permission of
IME.
X. Construction:
A. Client agrees to require the construction contractor to assume sole and complete responsibility for the construction of the
project including the safety of persons and property and the means, methods, techniques and sequences of construction.
B. If IME is not providing services during construction, client hereby agrees to contact IME if construction documents are unclear
or if errors or discrepancies are discovered. IME shall not be liable where client and/or contractor makes his own interpretations of
and/or revises the intent of the construction documents. The Client assumes all responsibility for interpretation of the construction
documents and for construction observation and the Client waives any claims against IME that may be in any way connected
thereto. In addition, the Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold IME, its officers, directors,
employees and subconsultants (collectively, IME), harmless against all damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and defense costs, arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of such services by other persons
or entities and from any and all claims arising from modifications, clarifications, interpretations, adjustments or changes made to
the construction documents to reflect changed field or other conditions, except for claims arising from the sole negligence or willful
misconduct of IME.
C. If construction observations are provided, the term "Observation" implies only that IME would observe the progress of the
contractors work and review test results, from which to develop an opinion as to whether the work essentially complies with the job
requirements. Our efforts shall be directed at providing the client with a greater degree of assurance that construction is
proceeding in accordance with project requirements. The presence of IME representatives will be for the purpose of providing
observation only. IME’s services do not include supervision or direction of actual work of the contractor, his employees or agents.
Neither the presence of IME representatives nor their observations shall excuse the contractor in any way for defects discovered
in his work.
D. Any opinions of project cost rendered by IME represent its best judgment and are furnished for general guidance. IME makes
no warranty as to the accuracy of such opinions as compared to bid or actual costs.
XI. Insurance:
A. IME and its employees are protected by insurance which meets or exceeds statutory requirements for Workman's
Compensation, Public Liability, Property Damage and Professional Liability. Certificates evidencing coverage will be provided
upon request. IME shall in no event be responsible for any loss or damage beyond the amounts, limits and conditions of such
insurance.
XII. Miscellaneous:
A. This agreement shall be governed in accordance with Colorado law.
B. Services are for the exclusive use of the Client for this specific project. These services are not to be relied on by others without
the specific authorization of IME.
C. Neither party shall assign or transfer any interest in this agreement without the written authorization of the other.
D. This agreement may be terminated by either party upon 7 days written notice to the other, in which case IME shall be paid for
all services provided up to termination, plus all additional cost incurred by IME due to said termination.
E. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create a contractual relationship with or a cause of action in favor of a third party
against either the Client or the Consultant. The Consultant’s services under this Agreement are being performed solely for the
Client’s benefit, and no other party or entity shall have any claim against the Consultant because of this Agreement or the
performance or nonperformance of services hereunder. The Client and Consultant agree to require a similar provision in all
contracts with contractors, subcontractors, subconsultants, vendors and other entities involved in this Project to carry out the intent
of this provision.
