Payment (Cost Plus a Fixed Fee)
The CONSULTANT shall be paid by the AGENCY for completed work and services rendered under this
AGREEMENT as provided hereinafter. Such payment shall be full compensation for work performed or services
rendered and for all labor, materials, supplies,equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete the work
specified in Section II, "Scope of Work."The CONSULTANT shall conform to all applicable portions of 48
CFR Part 31.
A. Actual Costs: Payment for all consulting services for this PROJECT shall be on the basis of the
CONSULTANT'S actual cost plus a fixed fee. The actual cost shall include direct salary cost,
overhead, direct non-salary costs, and fixed fee.
I. Direct Salary Costs: The Direct Salary Cost is the direct salary paid to principals,
professional,technical,and clerical personnel for the time they are productively
engaged in work necessary to fulfill the terms of this AGREEMENT. The
CONSULTANT shall maintain support data to verify the direct salary costs billed
to the AGENCY.
2. Overhead Costs: Overhead Costs are those costs other than direct costs,which are
included as such on the books of the CONSULTANT in the normal everyday
keeping of its books. Progress payments shall be made at the rate shown in the
heading of this AGREEMENT under"Overhead Progress Payment Rate."Total
overhead payment shall be based on the method shown in the heading of the
AGREEMENT. The two options are explained as follows:
a. Fixed Rate: If this method is indicated in the heading of the AGREEMENT the
AGENCY agrees to reimburse the CONSULTANT for overhead at the
percentage rate shown. This rate shall not change during the life of the
AGREEMENT.
b. Actual Cost: If this method is indicated in the heading of the AGREEMENT the
AGENCY agrees to reimburse the CONSULTANT the actual overhead costs
verified by audit,up to the Maximum Total Amount Payable, authorized under
this AGREEMENT,when accumulated with all other Actual Costs.
A summary of the CONSULTANTS cost estimate and the overhead
computation is shown in Exhibit"E"attached hereto and by this reference made
part of this AGREEMENT. When an Actual Cost method is used,the
CONSULTANT(prime and all sub-consultants)will submit to the AGENCY
within six(6)months after the end of each firm's fiscal year,an overhead
schedule in the format required by the AGENCY(cost category, dollar
expenditures,etc.)for the purpose of adjusting the overhead rate for billing
purposes.It shall be used for the computation of progress payments during the
following year and for retroactively adjusting the previous year's overhead cost
to reflect the actual rate.
DOT Form 140-089 EF Exhibit D-2
Revised 6/08
Failure to supply this information by either the prime CONSULTANT or any of their sub-
consultants shall cause the AGENCY to withhold payment of the billed overhead costs until
such time as the required information is received and an overhead rate for billing purposes is
approved.
The AGENCY, STATE and/or the Federal Government may perform an audit of the
CONSULTANT'S books and records at any time during regular business hours to determine
the actual overhead rate, if they so desire.
3. Direct Non-Salary Costs: Direct Non-Salary Costs will be reimbursed at the Actual Cost to
the CONSULTANT.These charges may include, but are not limited to,the following
items: travel,printing, long distance telephone, supplies, computer charges and sub-
consultant costs.
a. Air or train travel will be reimbursed only to economy class levels unless
otherwise approved by the AGENCY. The CONSULTANT shall comply with
the rules and regulations regarding travel costs(excluding air,train, and rental
car costs)in accordance with the AGENCY'S Travel Rules and Procedures.
However, air,train, and rental car costs shall be reimbursed in accordance with

AGENCY upon request.
d. All above charges must be necessary for the services provided under this
AGREEMENT.
4. Fixed Fee: The Fixed Fee,which represents the CONSULTANT'S profit, is shown in the
heading of this AGREEMENT under Fixed Fee. This amount does not include any
additional Fixed Fee, which could be authorized from the Management Reserve Fund.This
fee is based on the Scope of Work defined in this AGREEMENT and the estimated person-
hours required to perform the stated Scope of Work. In the event the CONSULTANT
enters into a supplemental AGREEMENT for additional work,the supplemental
AGREEMENT may include provisions for the added costs and an appropriate additional
fee. The Fixed Fee will be prorated and paid monthly in proportion to the percentage of
work completed by the CONSULTANT and reported in the Monthly Progress Reports
accompanying the billings. Any portion of the Fixed Fee earned but not previously paid in
the progress payments will be covered in the final payment, subject to the provisions of
Section IX entitled"Termination of Agreement."
5. Management Reserve Fund: The AGENCY may desire to establish a Management Reserve
Fund to provide the Agreement Administrator with the flexibility to authorize additional
funds to the AGREEMENT for allowable unforeseen costs, or reimbursing the
CONSULTANT for additional work beyond that already defined in this AGREEMENT.
Such authorization(s)shall be in writing and shall not exceed
the lesser of$100,000 or 10%of the Total Amount Authorized as shown in the
heading of this AGREEMENT. The amount included for the Management Reserve
Fund is shown in the heading of this AGREEMENT. This fund may not be replenished.
Any changes requiring additional costs in excess of the Management Reserve Fund
shall be made in accordance with Section XIV, "Extra Work."6. Maximum Total
Amount Payable: The Maximum Total Amount Payable by the AGENCY to the
CONSULTANT under this AGREEMENT shall not exceed the amount shown in the
heading of this AGREEMENT.The Maximum Total Amount Payable is comprised of
the Total Amount Authorized, and the Management Reserve Fund. The Maximum
Total Amount Payable does not include payment for Extra Work as stipulated in
Section XIV,"Extra Work."No minimum amount payable is guaranteed under this
AGREEMENT.
B. Monthly Progress Payments: The CONSULTANT may submit billings to the AGENCY for
reimbursement of Actual Costs plus the calculated overhead and fee on a monthly basis during the
progress of the work. Such billings shall be in a format approved by the AGENCY and
accompanied by the monthly progress reports required under Section III,"General Requirements"
of this AGREEMENT. The billings will be supported by an itemized listing for each item including
Direct Salary,Direct Non-Salary, and allowable Overhead Costs to which will be added the
prorated Fixed Fee.To provide a means of verifying the billed salary costs for CONSULTANT
employees,the AGENCY may conduct employee interviews. These interviews may consist of
recording the names,titles, salary rates, and present duties of those employees performing work on
the PROJECT at the time of the interview.
C. Final Payment: Final Payment of any balance due the CONSULTANT of the gross amount earned
will be made promptly upon its verification by the AGENCY after the completion of the work
under this AGREEMENT, contingent upon receipt of all PS&E, plans,maps, notes, reports,
electronic data and other related documents which are required to be furnished under this
AGREEMENT.Acceptance of such Final Payment by the CONSULTANT shall constitute a
release of all claims for payment,which the CONSULTANT may have against the AGENCY
unless such claims are specifically reserved in writing and transmitted to the AGENCY by the
CONSULTANT prior to its acceptance. Said Final Payment shall not, however, be a bar to any
claims that the AGENCY may have against the CONSULTANT or to any remedies the AGENCY
may pursue with respect to such claims.
The payment of any billing will not constitute agreement as to the appropriateness of any item and
at the time of final audit, all required adjustments will be made and reflected in a final payment. In
the event that such final audit reveals an overpayment to the CONSULTANT,the CONSULTANT
will refund such overpayment to the AGENCY within thirty(30)days of notice of the
overpayment. Such refund shall not constitute a waiver by the CONSULTANT for any claims
relating to the validity of a finding by the AGENCY of overpayment. The CONSULTANT has
twenty(20)days after receipt of the final POST AUDIT to begin the appeal process to the
AGENCY for audit findings.
D. Inspection of Cost Records: The CONSULTANT and their sub-consultants shall keep available for
inspection by representatives of the AGENCY, STATE and the United States, for a period of three
(3)years after receipt of final payment,the cost records and accounts pertaining to this
AGREEMENT and all items related to or bearing upon these records with the following exception:
if any litigation,claim or audit arising out of, in connection with,or related to this contract is
initiated before the expiration of the three(3)year period,the cost records and accounts shall be
retained until such litigation, claim,or audit involving the records is completed.

Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant's alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the resolution
and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some material damage
due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 —Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency's Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s),the first step in the process is for the
Agency's project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the
potential design error(s). For federally funded projects,the Region Highways and Local Programs
Engineer should be informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or
Agency Engineer may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager,who has not been
as directly involved in the project,to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 - Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s)and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer's concurrence,the project manager obtains more detailed
documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include: all decisions and
descriptions of work;photographs, records of labor,materials and equipment.
Step 3 —Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further,the next step in the process is for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s)and the magnitude of the alleged
error(s).The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manger and any personnel (including sub-consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4—Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s)with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant's alleged design
error(s),there are three possible scenarios:
• It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If
this is the case,then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
• It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s)occurred. If this
is the case,then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer,or their
representatives,negotiate a settlement with the consultant. The settlement would be
paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced from the consultant's agreement
with the agency for the services on the project in which
the design error took place. The agency is to provide H&LP,through the Region
DOT Form 140-089 EF Exhibit J
Revised 6/05
Local Programs Engineer, a summary of the settlement for review and to make
adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement affects federal reimbursements.No
further action is required.
• There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The
consultant may request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to
the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer for review. If the Director of
Public Works or Agency Engineer,after review with their legal counsel, is not able
to reach mutual agreement with the consultant,proceed to Step 5.
Step 5—Forward Documents to Highways and Local Programs
For federally funded projects all available information, including costs, should be forwarded
through the Region Highways and Local Programs Engineer to H&LP for their review and
consultation with the FHWA. H&LP will meet with representatives of the agency and the
consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt to find a resolution to the issue. If
necessary, H&LP will request assistance from the Attorney General's Office for legal
interpretation. H&LP will also identify how the alleged error(s)affects eligibility of project costs
for federal reimbursement.
• If mutual agreement is reached,the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work
and costs to reflect the agreed upon resolution. H&LP, in consultation with FHWA,
will identify the amount of federal participation in the agreed upon
resolution of the issue.
• If mutual agreement is not reached, the agency and consultant may seek settlement
by arbitration or by litigation.
Exhibit K
Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s)on a consultant agreement. The following
procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant's claim(s)are a total
of$1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is suggested that the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the consultant's claim(s)that
total $1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1 —Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside of
the agreement's scope of work,they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is
the request for consideration of the claim to the Agency's project manager.
The consultant's claim must outline the following:
• Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim;
• Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
• Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
• Summary of direct labor dollars,overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with
the additional work; and
• Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the
agreement scope of work.
Step 2—Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant's Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1,the next step in the process is to forward the request to the
Agency's project manager. The project manager will review the consultant's claim and will met with
the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If
the FHWA is participating in the project's funding,forward a copy of the consultant's claim and the
Agency's recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Highways and Local
Programs through the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal
participation,payment will need to be from agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer,WSDOT Highways and
Local Programs(if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable)agree with the consultant's claim, send a
request memo, including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement,
or create a new agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved,the Agency shall write
the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the
consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit.No further action in needed
regarding the claim procedures.

If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures.
Step 3—Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant's Claim(s)
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim,the project manager shall prepare a
summary for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following:
• Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim;
• Agency's summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the
claim;
• Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
• Agency's summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs
associated with the additional work;
• Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does/does not agree with the
consultant's claim(s);
• Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s); and
• Recommendations to resolve the claim.
Step 4—Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency
Documentation
The Director of Pubic Works or Agency Engineer shall review and administratively approve or
disapprove the claim, or portions thereof,which may include getting Agency Council or
Commission approval(as appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project
involves federal participation, obtain concurrence from WSDOT Highways and Local Programs
and FHWA regarding final settlement of the claim. If the claim is not eligible for federal
participation, payment will need to be from agency funds.
Step 5 —Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify(in writing)the consultant of their
final decision regarding the consultant's claim(s).Include the final dollar amount of the accepted
claim(s)and rationale utilized for the decision.
Step 6—Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant's Claim(s)
The agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of
the claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit.
