the Project, including the Project budget and time constraints. The Client shall make available to Stantec all relevant
information or data pertinent to the Project which is required by Stantec to perform the Services. Stantec shall be entitled
to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of all information and data furnished by the Client, including information
and data originating with other consultants employed by the Client whether such consultants are engaged at the request
of Stantec or otherwise. Where such information or data originates either with the Client or its consultants then Stantec
shall not be responsible to the Client for the consequences of any error or omission contained therein.
When required by Stantec, the Client shall engage specialist consultants directly to perform items of work necessary to
enable Stantec to carry out the Services. Whether arranged by the Client or Stantec, these services shall be deemed to
be provided under direct contracts to the Client unless expressly provided otherwise.
The Client shall give prompt consideration to all documentation related to the Project prepared by Stantec and whenever
prompt action is necessary shall inform Stantec of Client’s decisions in such reasonable time so as not to delay the
schedule for providing the Services.
When applicable, the Client shall arrange and make provision for Stantec’s entry to the Project site as well as other public
and private property as necessary for Stantec to perform the Services. The Client shall obtain any required approvals,
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Page 2
Z:\1 - Projects\E\Elk River Econ. Dev. Auth\20200417 Elk River EDA PSA (clean).dotm
licenses and permits from governmental or other authorities having jurisdiction over the Project so as not to delay Stantec
in the performance of the Services.
STANTEC’S RESPONSIBILITIES: Stantec shall furnish the necessary qualified personnel to provide the Services. Stantec
represents that it has access to the experience and capability necessary to and agrees to perform the Services with the
reasonable skill and diligence required by customarily accepted professional practices and procedures normally
provided in the performance of the Services at the time when and the location in which the Services were performed.
This undertaking does not imply or guarantee a perfect Project and in the event of failure or partial failure of the product
or the Services, Stantec will be liable only for its failure to exercise diligence, reasonable care and professional skill. This
standard of care is the sole and exclusive standard of care that will be applied to measure Stantec’s performance. There
are no other representations or warranties expressed or implied made by Stantec. In particular, but not by way of
limitation, no implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose shall apply to the Services provided
by Stantec nor shall Stantec warrant or guarantee economic, market or financial conditions, proforma projections,
schedules for public agency approvals, or other factors beyond Stantec’s reasonable control. Stantec does not warrant
the Services to any third party and the Client shall indemnify and hold harmless Stantec from any demands, claims, suits
or actions of third parties arising out of Stantec’s performance of the Services.
In performing the Services under this Agreement, Stantec shall operate as and have the status of an independent
contractor and shall not act as, or be an employee of the Client.
TERMINATION: Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days’ notice in writing. If either
party breaches this Agreement, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement after giving seven (7) days’
notice to remedy the breach. On termination of this Agreement, the Client shall forthwith pay Stantec for the Services
performed to the date of termination. Non-payment by the Client of Stantec’s invoices within 30 days of Stantec rendering
same is agreed to constitute a material breach of this Agreement and, upon written notice as prescribed above, the
duties, obligations and responsibilities of Stantec are terminated.
SUSPENSION OF SERVICES: If the project is suspended for more than thirty (30) calendar days in the aggregate, Stantec
shall be compensated for services performed and charges incurred prior to receipt of notice to suspend and, upon
resumption, an equitable adjustment in fees to accommodate the resulting demobilization and remobilization costs. In
addition, there shall be an equitable adjustment in the project schedule based on the delay caused by the suspension.
If the Project is suspended for more than ninety (90) days, Stantec may, at its option, terminate this agreement upon
giving notice in writing to the Client.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Except as specifically described in this Agreement, Stantec’s field investigation, laboratory testing and
engineering recommendations will not address or evaluate pollution of soil or pollution of groundwater.
Where the services include storm water pollution prevention (SWPP), sedimentation or erosion control plans, specifications,
procedures or related construction observation or administrative field functions, Client acknowledges that such Services
proposed or performed by Stantec are not guaranteed to provide complete SWPP, sedimentation or erosion control,
capture all run off or siltation, that any physical works are to be constructed and maintained by the Client’s contractor
or others and that Stantec has no control over the ultimate effectiveness of any such works or procedures. Except to the
extent that there were errors or omissions in the Services provided by Stantec, Client agrees to indemnify and hold Stantec
harmless from and against all claims, costs, liabilities or damages whatsoever arising from any storm water pollution,
erosion, sedimentation, or discharge of silt or other deleterious substances into any waterway, wetland or woodland and
any resulting charges, fines, legal action, cleanup or related costs.
BUILDING CODES, BYLAWS AND OTHER PUBLIC REGULATIONS: Stantec shall, to the best of its ability, interpret building codes,
by-laws and other public regulations as they apply to the Project and as they are published at the time Services
commence. Furthermore, Stantec shall observe and comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes and regulations
of government agencies, including federal, state, provincial, municipal and local governing bodies having jurisdiction
over the conduct of the Services (“LAWS”). However, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the Client that as the
Project progresses such building codes, by-laws, other public regulations and LAWS may change or the interpretation of
any public authority may differ from the interpretation of Stantec, through no fault of Stantec, and any extra costs
necessary to conform to such changes or interpretations during or after execution of the Services will be paid by the
Client.
Stantec shall continue to provide equal employment opportunity to all qualified persons and to recruit, hire, train, promote
and compensate persons in all jobs without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability or national origin or any
other basis prohibited by applicable laws.
COST AND SCHEDULE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK: In providing opinions of probable cost and project schedule, it is
recognized that neither the Client nor Stantec has control over the costs of labor, equipment or materials, or over the
Contractor’s methods of determining prices or time. The opinions of probable cost or project duration are based on
Stantec’s reasonable professional judgment and experience and do not constitute a warranty, express or implied, that
the Contractors’ bids, project schedules, or the negotiated price of the Work or schedule will not vary from the Client’s
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Page 3
Z:\1 - Projects\E\Elk River Econ. Dev. Auth\20200417 Elk River EDA PSA (clean).dotm
budget or schedule or from any opinion of probable cost or project schedule prepared by Stantec. Exact costs and times
will be determined only when bids have been received for the Project and when the construction work has been
performed and payments finalized.
ADMINISTRATION OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS: When applicable, Stantec shall provide field services during the
construction of the Project only to the extent that such Services are included and defined in this Agreement. The
performance of the construction contract is not Stantec’s responsibility nor are Stantec’s field services rendered for the
construction contractor's benefit.
It is understood and agreed by the Client and Stantec that only work which has been seen during an examination by
Stantec can be said to have been appraised and comments on the balance of any construction work are assumptions
only.
When field services are provided by Stantec, the authority for general administration of the Project shall reside with
Stantec only to the extent defined in this Agreement. In such case, Stantec shall coordinate the activities of other
consultants employed by the Client, only to the extent that Stantec is empowered to do so by such other consultants’
contracts with the Client.
Stantec shall not be responsible for any contractor’s failure to carry out the work in accordance with the contract
documents nor for the acts or omissions of any contractor, subcontractor, any of their agents or employees, or any other
persons performing any of the work in connection with the Project. When field services are provided, no acceptance by
Stantec of the work or services of a construction contractor or other consultants, whether express or implied, shall relieve
such construction contractor or other consultants from their responsibilities to the Client for the proper performance of
such work or services and further, Stantec shall not be responsible to the Client or to the construction contractor or to the
other consultants for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures and use of equipment of any nature
whatsoever, whether reviewed by Stantec or not, which are employed by the construction contractor or the other
consultants in executing, designing, or administering any phases of the Project, or for placing into operation any plant or
equipment or for safety precautions and programs incidental thereto.
When field services are provided, Stantec will not be designated as the party responsible for the compliance by others
on the construction work site with the purposes or requirements of applicable environmental, occupational health and
safety, or similar legislation. The Client shall designate a responsible party, other than Stantec, for the coordination and
performance of environmental, occupational health and safety activities on the construction work site as required by
applicable legislation and associated regulations.
JOBSITE SAFETY: Neither the professional activities of Stantec, nor the presence of Stantec or its employees and
subconsultants at a construction site, shall relieve the Client and any other entity of their obligations, duties and
responsibilities with respect to job site safety. Subject only to applicable legislation, Stantec and its personnel have no
authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with
their work or any health or safety precautions.
INDEMNITY: Each party will indemnify and save harmless the other from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs,
(including legal costs) actions and other proceedings made, sustained, brought or prosecuted in any manner based
upon, occasioned by or attributable to any injury, default or damage arising from any negligent act, error, omission or
willful misconduct of the indemnifying party, its servants or agents or persons for whom it has assumed responsibility in the
performance or purported performance of this AGREEMENT or of any of the Services.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: It is agreed that the total amount of all claims (including any and all costs associated with such
claims such as attorney and expert fees and interest) the Client may have against Stantec under this Agreement or arising
from the performance or non-performance of the Services under any theory of law, including but not limited to claims for
negligence, negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract, shall be strictly limited to$500,000. As the Client’s sole
and exclusive remedy under this Agreement any claim, demand or suit shall be directed and/or asserted only against
Stantec and not against any of Stantec’s employees, officers or directors.
Stantec’s liability with respect to any claims arising out of this Agreement shall be absolutely limited to direct damages
arising out of the Services and Stantec shall bear no liability whatsoever for any consequential loss, injury or damage
incurred by the Client, including but not limited to claims for loss of use, loss of profits and loss of markets.
Liability of Stantec shall be further limited to such sum as it would be just and equitable for Stantec to pay having regard
to the extent of its responsibility for the loss or damage suffered and on the assumptions that all other consultants and all
contractors and sub-contractors shall have provided contractual undertakings on terms no less onerous than those set
out in this Agreement to the Client in respect of the carrying out of their obligations and have paid to the Client such
proportion of the loss and damage which it would be just and equitable for them to pay having regard to the extent of
their responsibility.
DOCUMENTS: All documents prepared by Stantec or on behalf of Stantec in connection with the Project are instruments
of service for the execution of the Project. Stantec retains the property and copyright in these documents, whether the
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Page 4
Z:\1 - Projects\E\Elk River Econ. Dev. Auth\20200417 Elk River EDA PSA (clean).dotm
Project is executed or not. Payment to Stantec of the compensation prescribed in this Agreement shall be a condition
precedent to the Client's right to use documentation prepared by Stantec. These documents may not be used for any
other purpose without the prior written agreement of Stantec. The Client shall have a permanent non-exclusive, royalty-
free license to use any concept, product or process which is patentable or capable of trademark, produced by or
resulting from the Services rendered by Stantec in connection with the Project, for the life of the Project. The Client shall
not use, infringe upon or appropriate such concepts, products or processes without the express written agreement of
Stantec. In the event Stantec’s documents are subsequently reused or modified in any material respect without the prior
consent of Stantec, the Client agrees to indemnify Stantec from any claims advanced on account of said reuse or
modification.
Any document produced by Stantec in relation to the Services is intended for the sole use of Client. The documents may
not be relied upon by any other party without the express written consent of Stantec, which may be withheld at Stantec’s
discretion. Any such consent will provide no greater rights to the third party than those held by the Client under the
contract, and will only be authorized pursuant to the conditions of Stantec’s standard form reliance letter.
Stantec cannot guarantee the authenticity, integrity or completeness of data files supplied in electronic format
(“Electronic Files”). Client shall release, indemnify and hold Stantec, its officers, employees, consultants and agents
harmless from any claims or damages arising from the use of Electronic Files. Electronic files will not contain stamps or
seals, remain the property of Stantec, are not to be used for any purpose other than that for which they were transmitted,
and are not to be retransmitted to a third party without Stantec’s written consent.
PROJECT PROMOTION: Where the Client has control or influence over construction signage, press releases and/or other
promotional information identifying the project (“Project Promotion”), the Client agrees to include Stantec in such Project
Promotion.
FORCE MAJEURE: Any default in the performance of this Agreement caused by any of the following events and without
fault or negligence on the part of the defaulting party shall not constitute a breach of contract: labor strikes, riots, war,
acts of governmental authorities, unusually severe weather conditions or other natural catastrophe, disease, epidemic or
pandemic, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control or contemplation of either party. Nothing herein relieves
the Client of its obligation to pay Stantec for services rendered.
GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the majority of the Services are performed.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION: If requested in writing by either the Client or Stantec, the Client and Stantec shall attempt to resolve
any dispute between them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement by entering into structured non-binding
negotiations with the assistance of a mediator on a without prejudice basis. The mediator shall be appointed by
agreement of the parties. The Parties agree that any actions under this Agreement will be brought in the appropriate
court in the jurisdiction of Governing Law, or elsewhere by mutual agreement. Nothing herein however prevents Stantec
from any exercising statutory lien rights or remedies in accordance with legislation where the project site is located.
ATTORNEYS FEES: In the event of a dispute hereunder, the prevailing party is entitled to recover from the other party all
costs incurred by the prevailing party in enforcing this Agreement and prosecuting the dispute, including reasonable
attorney’s and expert’s fees, whether incurred through formal legal proceedings or otherwise.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUCCESSORS: The Client shall not, without the prior written consent of Stantec, assign the benefit or in
any way transfer the obligations of this Agreement or any part hereof. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto, and except as otherwise provided herein, upon their executors, adminis trators,
successors, and assigns.
PROTECTION OF PRIVACY LAWS: The parties acknowledge that information relating to an identified or identifiable person
(“Personal Information”) may be exchanged in the course of this Project pursuant to this Agreement.
The party disclosing Personal Information (the “Disclosing Party”) warrants that is has all necessary authorizations and
approvals required to process and disclose the Personal Information and to enable the party receiving the Personal
Information (the “Receiving Party”) to process it in performing the Services. The Disclosing Party will provide the Receiving
Party with written notice containing the details of what Personal Information will be provided.
The Receiving Party will comply with any reasonable instruction from the Disclosing Party in respect of such Personal
Information and implement appropriate technical and organization measures to protect the Personal Information against
unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, theft, use, disclosure, destruction and/or damage.
The Receiving Party shall be permitted, upon prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, to transfer Personal Information
outside the jurisdiction if required for performance of the Services provided that such transfers are in accordance with
relevant and applicable requirements under applicable legislation. The Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party
with full cooperation and assistance in meeting its obligations under applicable privacy legislation, including in relation
to the security of processing, the notification of Personal Information breaches, the notification of requests from individuals
and Personal Information protection impact assessments.
On termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall cease processing Personal Information and shall delete and
destruct or return to the Disclosing Party (as the Disclosing Party may require) all Personal Information held or processed
by the Receiving Party on the Disclosing Party’s behalf. It is understood however, that the Receiving Party may need to
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Page 5
Z:\1 - Projects\E\Elk River Econ. Dev. Auth\20200417 Elk River EDA PSA (clean).dotm
keep a copy of all Personal Information for legal purposes and therefore it will continue to take reasonable steps to protect
the Personal Information as outlined herein and will proceed with the destruction of the Personal Information within a
reasonable period of time if there is no longer any legal justification to keep the Personal Information.
Nothing herein relieves either party from their responsibilities for compliance with applicable privacy legislation.

to the Project and supersedes all prior agreements between them, whether written or oral respecting the subject matter
hereof and no other terms, conditions or warranties, whether express or implied, shall form a part hereof. This Agreement
may be amended only by written instrument signed by both the Client and Stantec. All attachments referred to in this
Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference; however, in the event of any conflict between attachments and
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall take precedence.
SEVERABILITY: If any term, condition or covenant of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on the Client and Stantec.
CONTRA PROFERENTEM: The parties agree that in the event this Agreement is subject to interpretation or construction by
a third party, such third party shall not construe this Agreement or any part of it against either party as the drafter of this
Agreement.
