Exhibit A—Scope of Services and Budget Removal of Water Line from Intracoastal Waterway Page 1 of 4 The purpose of this project is to remove an existing, abandoned, eight inch water line from the Intracoastal Waterway as requested by the Sabine Neches Navigation District in advance of their proposed dredging and deepening project. The waterline, which extends from approximately the end of Waco Avenue, across the waterway,and onto Pleasure Island, was abandoned in the 1970's per the City. The City is not able to find any plans on how the waterline was installed. Scope of Services to be provided are enumerated below: 1. Field Investigation: SPI will perform limited field investigation to attempt to locate the location and depth of the line. The field investigation is anticipated to include divers utilizing electronic equipment to send a signal along the line. The signal can be picked up as long as the line is less than ten feet below the mud line. If the line is deeper than that, or if it is unsuccessful,we will locate it on either side of the waterway as far as possible. City crews will be needed to excavate and locate the line on the Waco Avenue side. 2. Design Phase: Based on the information gathered from the field investigation, we will prepare drawings, contract document and specifications for the removal of the line. Bid documents will be prepared for use in obtaining bids. Contract documents will be EJCDC standard as described in agreement or other Owner provided contract document. USACE permitting requirements in addition to those already in place by the Sabine Neches Navigation District are not included in this assignment. Additional permitting requirements will be invoiced as an additional service. 3. Bid Phase: Assist Owner in advertising for and obtaining bids, conduct pre-bid conference, issue addenda as appropriate to clarify, correct, or change the Bidding Documents. Consult with Owner as to the acceptability of subcontractors, suppliers, and other individuals and entities proposed by Contractor for those portions of the Work as to which such acceptability is required by the Bidding Documents. Attend the Bid opening, prepare Bid tabulation sheets, and assist Owner in evaluating Bids or proposals and in assembling and awarding contracts for the Work. 4. Construction Phase: Engineer will provide the following: 1. General Administration of Construction Contract. Consult with Owner and act as Owner's representative as provided in the General Conditions. All of Owner's instructions to Contractor will be issued through Engineer, who shall have authority to act on behalf of Owner in dealings with Contractor to the extent provided in this Agreement and said General Conditions except as otherwise provided in writing.

Exhibit A—Scope of Services and Budget Removal of Water Line from Intracoastal Waterway Page 2 of 4 2. Pre-Construction Conference. Participate in a pre-construction conference prior to commencement of Work at the Site. 3. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction. In connection with observations of Work in progress. Make visits to the Site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction, as Engineer deems necessary, in order to observe as an experienced and qualified design professional the progress and quality of the Work. Such visits and observations by Engineer, are to be limited to spot checking, selective sampling, and similar methods of general observation of the Work based on Engineer's exercise of professional judgment. Based on information obtained during such visits and such observations, Engineer will determine in general if Contractor's work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents, and Engineer shall keep Owner informed of the progress of the Work. a. The purpose of Engineer's visits will be to enable Engineer to better carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by Engineer during the Construction Phase and, in addition, by the exercise of Engineer's efforts as an experienced and qualified design professional, to provide for Owner a greater degree of confidence that the completed Work will conform in general to the Contract Documents. Engineer shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's work in progress, supervise, direct, or have control over the Work, nor shall Engineer have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and programs incident to the Work, or for any failure of Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the Work. Accordingly, Engineer neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 4. Defective Work Have authority to disapprove or reject Contractor's work while it is in progress if, on the basis of such observations, Engineer believes that such work will not produce a completed project that conforms generally to the Contract Documents or that it will prejudice the integrity of the design concept of the completed project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents. 5. Clarifications and Interpretations; Field Orders. Issue necessary clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of the Work. Such clarifications and interpretations will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents. Engineer may issue Field Orders authorizing minor variations from the requirements of the Contract Documents. EJCDC E-520 Short Form of Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services.

Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction or to safety precautions and programs incident thereto. Engineer has an obligation to meet any Contractors submittal schedule that has earlier been acceptable to Engineer. 8. Substitutes and "or-equal." Evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or "or- equal" materials and equipment proposed by Contractor. 9. Inspections and Tests. Require such special inspections or tests of the Work as deemed reasonably necessary, and receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests, and approvals required by Laws and Regulations or the Contract Documents. Engineer's review of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results certified indicate compliance with the 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 Contract Documents. Engineer shall be entitled to rely on the results of such tests. 10. Disagreements between Owner and Contractor. Render formal written decisions on all claims of Owner and Contractor relating to the acceptability of the Work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the execution and progress of the Work. In rendering such decisions, Engineer shall be fair and not show partiality to Owner or Contractor and shall not be liable in connection with any decision rendered in good faith in such capacity. 11.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. 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, the Work has progressed to the point indicated, the quality of such is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents EJCDC E-520 Short Form of Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services. Copyright©2009 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC.All rights reserved. Exhibit A—Scope of Services and Budget Removal of Water Line from Intracoastal Waterway Page 4 of 4 and the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to such payment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer's responsibility to observe the Work. b. By recommending any payment, Engineer shall not thereby be deemed to have represented that observations made by Engineer to check the quality or quantity of the Work as it is performed and furnished have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to Engineer in this Agreement and the Contract Documents. Neither Engineer's review of the 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 in progress 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 the Work. 12. Contractor's Completion Documents. Receive and review maintenance and operating instructions,schedules,and guarantees. Engineer shall transmit these documents to Owner. 13. Substantial Completion.
