IX Termination of Agreement
The right is reserved by the AGENCY to terminate this AGREEMENT at any time upon ten (10) days written notice to
the CONSULTANT.
In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated by the AGENCY other than for default on the part of the
CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the CONSULTANT as shown in Exhibit "I" for the type of
AGREEMENT used.
No payment shall be made for any work completed after ten (10) days following receipt by the CONSULTANT of the

CONSULTANT shall immediately reimburse the AGENCY for any excess paid.
If the services of the CONSULTANT are terminated by the AGENCY for default on the part of the CONSULTANT,
the above formula for payment shall not apply.
Page 4 of 8
In such an event, the amount to be paid shall be determined by the AGENCY with consideration given to the actual
costs incurred by the CONSULTANT in perforiniilg the work to the date of termination, the amount of work originally
required which was satisfactorily completed to date of terinination, whether that work is in a form or a type which is
usable to the AGENCY at the time of termination, the cost to the AGENCY of employing another firm to complete the
work required and the time which may be required to do so, and other factors which affect the value to the AGENCY of
the work performed at the time of termination.
Under no circumstances shall payment made under this subsection exceed the amount, which would have been made
using the formula set forth above.
If it is determined for any reason that the CONSULTANT was not in default or that the CONSULTANT'S failure to
perform is without the CONSULTANT'S or it's employee's default or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to
be a termination for the convenience of the AGENCY. In such an event, the CONSULTANT would be reimbursed for
actual costs in accordance with the termination for other than default clauses listed previously.
In the event of the death of any member, partner or officer of the CONSULTANT or any of its supervisory personnel
assigned to the PROJECT, or dissolution of the partnership, termination of the corporation, or disaffiliation of the
principally involved employee, the surviving members of the CONSULTANT hereby agree to complete the work under
the terms of this AGREEMENT, if requested to do so by the AGENCY. This subsection shall not be a bar to
renegotiation of the AGREEMENT between the surviving members of the CONSULTANT and the AGENCY, if the
AGENCY so chooses.
In the event of the death of any of the parties listed in the previous paragraph, should the surviving members of the
CONSULTANT, with the AGENCY'S concurrence, desire to terminate this AGREEMENT, payment shall be made as
set forth in the second paragraph of this section.
Payment for any part of the work by the AGENCY shall not constitute a waiver by the AGENCY of any remedies of
any type it may have against the CONSULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT, or for
failure of the CONSULTANT to perform work required of it by the AGENCY. Forbearance of any rights under the
AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of entitlement to exercise those rights with respect to any future act or
omission by the CONSULTANT.
X Changes of Work
The CONSULTANT shall make such changes and revisions in the complete work of this AGREEMENT as necessary
to correct errors appearing therein, when required to do so by the AGENCY, without additional compensation thereof.

claims will be conducted under the procedures found in Exhibit "K".

SCOPE OF SERVICES, COMPENSATION, SCHEDULE,
AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED
I. SCOPE
Scope of Assignment
Field rating of approximately 844 miles of county roads using WSDOT Pavement Surface
Condition Rating methodology.
Workplan
Rating will be done based on visual inspection of road surfaces from a vehicle. The roads to be
rated shall be as designated by the County. It is anticipated that visual inspection will average 20
to 25 miles per day. We will provide a vehicle equipped with a Nitestar NS -50 or NS -60, or other
suitable distance measuring instrument.
Jesse Cowger, PE will be the Principal in Charge and will oversee the project; Jesse performed
the surface rating for Grant County in 2003 and has supervised the work on a biennial basis since
then (ten surveys in total). Peter Cowger will coordinate the field crew and provide quality
control on data collection. The rating work will be performed in one vehicle, by two field
technicians. Four pavement distresses will be rated: longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking,
alligator cracking, and patching.
Field surface condition rating data will be recorded via laptop into VisRate; field data will be
uploaded to the County Road Administration Board (CRAB) Mobility road management
database via Internet on a weekly basis.
II. COMPENSATION
Compensation will be based on the actual number of miles field rated and uploaded to the
GISMo data database by Varela for Grant County, at a rate of $87.37 per mile. Work will be
invoiced monthly. Payment by Grant County will be 75% of the invoiced amount. The remaining
25% will be paid upon acceptance of the data by the County. Upload backups of the field data
(xml format) will be provided to Grant County monthly if requested. The County will review and
determine acceptance of the rating data within 21 days of Varela notifying the County that the
last upload of field data to the GISMo database has been made.
III. SCHEDULE
Field rating and submission of all rating data shall be completed no later than September 30,
2023
