This is EXHIBIT A, consisting of 7 pages, referred to in and part of the Agreement between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services dated July 24, 2018. Engineer's Services Article 1 of the Agreement is supplemented to include the following agreement of the parties. Engineer shall provide Basic and Additional Services as set forth below. PART 1— BASIC SERVICES Project Understanding. After a significant rain event ending on February 18, 2018; South Bend and surrounding areas suffered significant flooding and damage. This rainfall was compounded by significant snowmelt and freezing temperatures that accentuated stormwater runoff. Warmer temperatures continued in the following days contributing to the St. Joseph River continued rise cresting in the early hours of February 23, 2018. Widespread damage occurred to city infrastructure and facilities near the St Joseph River. During this period and since, professional Engineering Services have been requested and performed related to these events. As a result of the flooding the bank along the St. Joseph River and East Bank Trail just north of the Niles Avenue Dog Park to just north of a second wooden over look in the area. A project location map can be found in Appendix A. There were two (2) distinct areas of failure that were visually identifiable. The area furthest north near the wooden overlooks is about 175-ft in length and has experienced a slope failure adjacent to the trail. The second area is to the south of the previously identified failure, near the dog park, and is a bout 150-ft in length. These are the failure areas that are identifiable from visual inspection other areas may become evident upon completion of the topographic survey and geotechnical investigation. The City has requested that LFA prepare schematic design documents for the repair of the slope within the limits as identified above and on the project location map shown in Appendix A. The schematic design process will include the evaluation of the long-term, cost effective solutions available for the slope repair. These options will be presented and discussed with the City and the preferred alternative will then be progressed from Schematic Design through Final design. This agreement is for providing professional Engineering Services to assist the City with the assessment of the damage from the February 2018 flood and to progress the East Bank Trail Slope Failure project up through the Schematic Design Phase. Some of the work for assistance with the Flood Damage Assessments was conducted prior to the preparation of this agreement. Those work items will be identified below. A1.01 Assist the City with Flood Damage Assessments A. Flood damage assessment work performed to date: 1. Prepared graphics and other supporting material in the vicinity of South Bend Wastewater Treatment Plant. This provided the anticipated crest elevation superimposed on aerial exhibits to quantify the impacts from this flooding.
