MSA PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INC. (MSA)
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICES (PUBLIC)
1. Scope and Fee. The scope of Owner’s Project (the “Project”), scope of MSA’s services (the “Work”), for
those services are defined in Attachment A. The scope and fee constitute a good faith estimate of the tasks and
associated fees required to perform the services defined in Attachment A. This agreement upon execution by
both parties hereto, can be amended only by written instrument signed by both parties. For those projects
involving conceptual or process development service or involve renovation of an existing building or structure,
activities often cannot be fully defined during initial planning. As the Project progresses, facts uncovered may
reveal a change in direction which may alter the Work. MSA will promptly inform the OWNER in writing of such
situations so that changes in this agreement can be made as required.
2. Owner’s Responsibilities.
(a) Project Scope and Budget
The OWNER shall define the scope and budget of the Project and, when applicable, periodically update the
Project budget, including that portion allocated for the cost of the Work. The Project budget shall include
contingencies for design, development, and, when required by the scope of the Project, construction of the
Project. The OWNER shall not significantly increase or decrease the overall Project scope or schedule, the
portion of the budget allocated for the cost of the Work, or contingencies included in the overall budget or a
portion of the budget, without the agreement of MSA to a corresponding change in the Project scope, quality,
schedule, and compensation of MSA.
(b) Designated Owner Representative
The OWNER shall identify a Designated Representative who shall be authorized to act on behalf of the OWNER
with respect to the Project. OWNER’s Designated Representative shall render related decisions in a timely
manner so as to avoid unreasonable delay in the orderly and sequential progress of MSA’s services. MSA shall
not be liable for any error or omission made by OWNER, OWNER’s Designated Representative, or OWNER’s
consultant.
(c) Tests, Inspections, and Reports
When required by the scope of the Project, the OWNER shall furnish tests, inspections, and reports required by
law or the Contract Documents, such as planning studies; preliminary designs; structural, mechanical, or
chemical tests; tests for air, water, or soil pollution; and tests for hazardous materials.
(d) Additional Consultants
MSA’s consultants shall be identified in Attachment A. The OWNER shall furnish the services of other
consultants other than those designated in Attachment A, including such legal, financial, accounting, and
insurance counseling services as may be required for the Project.
(e) OWNER Provided Services and Information
MSA shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of services and information furnished by the
OWNER, Designated OWNER Representative, or Consultant. MSA shall use reasonable efforts to provide
prompt written notice to the OWNER if MSA becomes aware of any errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in such
services or information.
3. Billing. MSA will bill the OWNER monthly with net payment due upon receipt. Balances due past thirty
(30) days shall be subject to an interest charge at a rate of 18% per year from said thirtieth day. In addition,
MSA may, after giving seven days written notice, suspend service under any agreement until the OWNER has
paid in full all amounts due for services rendered and expenses incurred, including the interest charge on past
due invoices.
4. Costs and Schedules. Costs (including MSA’s fees and reimbursable expenses) and schedule
commitments shall be subject to change for delays caused by the OWNER's failure to provide specified facilities
or information or for delays caused by unpredictable occurrences including, without limitation, fires, floods, riots,
strikes, unavailability of labor or materials, delays or defaults, by suppliers of materials or services, process
shutdowns, pandemics, acts of God or the public enemy, or acts of regulations of any governmental agency.
Temporary delays of services caused by any of the above which result in additional costs beyond those outlined
may require renegotiation of this agreement.
5. Access to Site. Owner shall furnish right-of-entry on the Project site for MSA and, if the site is not owned
by Owner, warrants that permission has been granted to make planned explorations pursuant to the scope of
Page 2 of 11
(General Terms & Conditions - Public)
G:\00\00465\00465323\Contract\00465323 - Asbury West Trail PSA.docx
Page 21 of 35
services. MSA will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the site from use of equipment, but has
not included costs for restoration of damage that may result and shall not be responsible for such costs.
6. Location of Utilities. Owner shall supply MSA with the location of all pre-existent utilities and MSA has
the right to reasonably rely on all Owner supplied information. In those instances where the scope of services
require MSA to locate any buried utilities, MSA shall use reasonable means to identify the location of buried
utilities in the areas of subsurface exploration and shall take reasonable precautions to avoid any damage to the
utilities noted. However, Owner agrees to indemnify and defend MSA in the event of damage or injury arising
from damage to or interference with subsurface structures or utilities which result from inaccuracies in information
of instructions which have been furnished to MSA by others.
7. Professional Representative. MSA intends to serve as the OWNER’s professional representative for
those services as defined in this agreement, and to provide advice and consultation to the OWNER as a
professional. Any opinions of probable project costs, reviews and observations, and other recommendations
made by MSA for the OWNER are rendered on the basis of experience and qualifications and represents the
professional judgment of MSA. However, MSA cannot and does not warrant or represent that proposals, bid or
actual project or construction costs will not vary from the opinion of probable cost prepared by it.
8. Construction. When applicable to the scope of the Project, the OWNER shall contract with a licensed
and qualified Contractor for implementation of construction work utilizing a construction contract based on an
EJCDC construction contract and general conditions appropriate for the scope of the Project and for the delivery
method. In the construction contract, the OWNER shall use reasonable commercial efforts to require the
Contractor to (1) obtain Commercial General Liability Insurance with contractual liability coverage insuring the
obligation of the Contractor, and name the OWNER, MSA and its employees and consultants as additionally
insureds of that policy; (2) indemnify and hold harmless the OWNER, MSA and its employees and consultants
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses (“Claims”), including but not limited to
reasonable attorney’s fees and economic or consequential damages arising in whole or in part out of the
negligent act or omission of the contractor, and Subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any
of them. This agreement shall not be construed as giving MSA, the responsibility or authority to direct or
supervise construction means, methods, techniques, sequence, or procedures of construction selected by the
contractors or subcontractors or the safety precautions and programs incident to the work, the same being the
sole and exclusive responsibility of the contractors or subcontractors.
9. Standard of Care. In conducting the services, MSA will apply present professional, engineering and/or
scientific judgment, which is known as the “standard of care”. The standard of care is defined as that level of
skill and care ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession practicing at the same point in time and
in the same or similar locality under similar circumstances in performing the Services. The OWNER
acknowledges that "current professional standards" shall mean the standard for professional services, measured
as of the time those services are rendered, and not according to later standards, if such later standards purport
to impose a higher degree of care upon MSA.
MSA does not make any warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, nor have any agreement or contract
for services subject to the provisions of any uniform commercial code. Similarly, MSA will not accept those terms
and conditions offered by the OWNER in its purchase order, requisition, or notice of authorization to proceed,
except as set forth herein or expressly agreed to in writing. Written acknowledgement of receipt, or the actual
performance of services subsequent to receipt of such purchase order, requisition, or notice of authorization to
proceed is specifically deemed not to constitute acceptance of any terms or conditions contrary to those set forth
herein.
10. Municipal Advisor. MSA Professional Services, Inc. is not acting as a ‘Municipal Advisor’ to the owner
pursuant to Section 15B of the Exchange Act. For financial advice related to the corresponding project, the client
is encouraged to discuss their finances with internal and/or external advisors and experts before making
decisions incurring debt and/or supporting those obligations. MSA desires to serve each client well by providing
the best information publicly available and is providing information as part of its engineering responsibilities to
inform client options. The information is not intended to provide financial advice or recommendations and is not
bound by the formal Municipal Advisor fiduciary duty.
11. Conduct Expectations. Owner and MSA understand their respective obligations to provide a safe,
respectful work environment for their employees. Both parties agree that harassment on the job (unwelcome
verbal, physical or other behavior that is related to sex, race, age, or protected class status) will not be tolerated
and will be addressed timely and in compliance with anti-harassment laws.

related correspondence, documents, text, data, drawings and the like in digital format in accordance with MSA’s
Electronic Data Transmittal policy. Each party is responsible for its own cybersecurity, and both parties waive
the right to pursue liability against the other for any damages that occur as a direct result of electronic data
sharing.
13. Building Information Modelling (BIM). For any projects, and not limited to building projects, utilizing
BIM, OWNER and MSA shall agree on the appropriate level of modelling required by the project, as well as the
degree to which the BIM files may be made available to any party using the Electronic Document Transmittal
provisions of section 12 of this Agreement.
14. Construction Site Visits. If the scope of services includes services during the Construction Phase,
MSA shall make visits to the site as specified in Attachment A– Scope of Services. MSA shall not, during such
visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's work in progress, supervise, direct or have control over
Contractor's work nor shall MSA 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 of Contractor or for any failure of Contractor to comply with laws, rules, regulations, ordinances,
codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the work. Accordingly, MSA 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.
15. Termination. This Agreement shall commence upon execution and shall remain in effect until terminated
by either party, at such party's discretion, on not less than thirty (30) days' advance written notice. The effective
date of the termination is the thirtieth day after the non-terminating party's receipt of the notice of termination. If
MSA terminates the Agreement, the OWNER may, at its option, extend the terms of this Agreement to the extent
necessary for MSA to complete any services that were ordered prior to the effective date of termination. If
OWNER terminates this Agreement, OWNER shall pay MSA for all services performed prior to MSA's receipt of
the notice of termination and for all work performed and/or expenses incurred by MSA in terminating Services
begun after MSA's receipt of the termination notice. Termination hereunder shall operate to discharge only those
obligations which are executory by either party on and after the effective date of termination. These General
Terms and Conditions shall survive the completion of the services performed hereunder or the Termination of
this Agreement for any cause.
This agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. No waiver of compliance with any provision or
condition hereof should be effective unless agreed in writing and duly executed by the parties hereto.
16. Betterment. If, due to MSA’s error, any required or necessary item or component of the Project is omitted
from the construction documents, MSA’s liability shall be limited to the reasonable costs of correction of the
construction, less what OWNER’S cost of including the omitted item or component in the original construction
would have been had the item or component not been omitted. It is intended by this provision that MSA will not
be responsible for any cost or expense that provides betterment, upgrade, or enhancement of the Project.
17. Hazardous Substances. OWNER acknowledges and agrees that MSA has had no role in identifying,
generating, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous substances or materials which may be present at the
Project site, and MSA has not benefited from the processes that produced such hazardous substances or
materials. Any hazardous substances or materials encountered by or associated with Services provided by MSA
on the Project shall at no time be or become the property of MSA. MSA shall not be deemed to possess or
control any hazardous substance or material at any time; arrangements for the treatment, storage, transport, or
disposal of any hazardous substances or materials, which shall be made by MSA, are made solely and
exclusively on OWNER's behalf for OWNER's benefit and at OWNER's direction. Nothing contained within this
Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as requiring MSA to assume the status of a generator, storer,
treater, or disposal facility as defined in any federal, state, or local statute, regulation, or rule governing treatment,
storage, transport, and/or disposal of hazardous substances or materials.
All samples of hazardous substances, materials or contaminants are the property and responsibility of
OWNER and shall be returned to OWNER at the end of a project for proper disposal. Alternate arrangements
to ship such samples directly to a licensed disposal facility may be made at OWNER's request and expense and
subject to this subparagraph.
18. Insurance. MSA will maintain insurance coverage for: Worker's Compensation, General Liability, and
Professional Liability. MSA will provide information as to specific limits upon written request. If the OWNER

for any damages arising in any way out of performance of this contract is limited to such insurance coverages
and amount which MSA has in effect.
19. Reuse of Documents. Reuse of any documents and/or services pertaining to this Project by the
OWNER or extensions of this Project or on any other project shall be at the OWNER’s sole risk. The OWNER

through the OWNER.

OWNER, and OWNER’s officers, directors, members, partners, consultants, and employees (hereinafter
“OWNER”) from reasonable claims, costs, losses, and damages arising out of or relating to the PROJECT,
provided that any such claim, cost, loss, or damage is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death,
or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) including the loss of use resulting
therefrom but only to the extent caused by any negligent act or omission of MSA or MSA’s officers, directors,
members, partners, employees, or Consultants (hereinafter “MSA”). In no event shall this indemnity agreement

bar the action because of the applicable statute of limitations. If despite the good faith efforts of OWNER and
MSA any controversy, claim, counterclaim, dispute, or other matter is not resolved through negotiation or
mediation, OWNER and MSA agree and consent that such matter may be resolved through legal action in the
court having jurisdiction as specified in this Agreement.
