Project No. ______________ responsibility for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected by a contractor, for safety precautions and programs incident to a contractor’s work in progress, nor for any failure of a contractor to comply with laws and regulations applicable to a contractor’s furnishing and performance of the work. STV neither guarantees the performance of any construction contractor nor assumes responsibility for any contractor’s failure to furnish and perform the work in accordance with the applicable requirements. STV will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor, subcontractor, or supplier, or of any of their agents or employees or of any other persons (except STV’s own employees and subconsultants) at the Project site or otherwise furnishing or performing any work. 1.6 Immediately upon execution of this Agreement, Client will provide available information to STV regarding the requirements for the Project. STV is entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of all requirements, programs, instructions, reports, data, and other information furnished by Client pursuant to this Agreement. When requested by STV, Client will arrange access to and make provisions for STV to enter upon public and private property as required for STV to perform Services under this Agreement. Upon the request of STV, Client will designate a representative authorized to act on its behalf with respect to the Project. Client, or such authorized representative, will render decisions in a timely manner pertaining to documents submitted by STV in order to avoid unreasonable delay in the orderly and sequential progress of the Services. 1.7 Client may request changes to the scope of Services such as additions, deletions, or revisions (in any case, a “Change”). Any Change must be agreed to by the Parties in writing. If STV anticipates that a Change or any other Project event will affect STV’s compensation or schedule or will cause STV to perform work outside the scope of Services (“Additional Services”), STV will notify Client so that an equitable adjustment(s) to compensation and/or schedule be made through a written document reflecting such adjustment(s) and executed by both Parties (“Change Order”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, STV is under no obligation to comply with a Change or

through a written document reflecting such adjustment(s) and executed by both Parties (“Change Order”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, STV is under no obligation to comply with a Change or perform any Additional Services without a Change Order and STV will not be in default for refusal to proceed with a Change or Additional Services. ARTICLE 2 – COMPENSATION, INVOICING, AND PAYMENT 2.1 Client will pay STV for all Services as set forth in Exhibit B (“Compensation Schedule”). Client is alone responsible for payment to STV under this Agreement and such duty to pay STV will not be subject to any third-party agreement. 2.2 STV will submit invoices for Services performed, prepared on the basis of STV’s monthly progress reports specifying the Services completed during the preceding month. Client will pay STV within thirty (30) days of invoice submission. Time is of the essence in payment of STV’s invoices, and timely payment is a material part of the consideration of this Agreement. Unpaid balances are subject to an additional charge of one and three quarters (1.75) percent per month from the date of the invoice. 2.3 STV may, after giving seven (7) days written notice to Client, suspend Services without liability until Client has paid in full all amounts due STV. Sealed plans, final documents, reports, and attendance at meetings/hearings will not be provided unless payment for Services is current. If STV is performing services for Client under multiple projects, invoice payments must be kept current on all 06 – Professional Services Agreement Page 2 of 10 Rev. 4/2025
