Subject: Construction Contract for 2026 Water Distribution Improvements
REQUEST
The Department of Public Works (“DPW”) and its Water Resources Division (WRD) seeks
authorization to execute a contract with S.D. Ireland Brothers Corporation in the amount up to
$1,326,385.00 with authorization for contingency funding of an additional $265,277.00 for the
construction of the 2026 Water Distribution Improvements project and to designate the Mayor
and appropriate City staff to execute associated documents.
BACKGROUND:
This section of the memo is an updated version of the same section that was presented in the
City Council memo for the 2026 Water Distribution Improvements project on December 1,
2025, where the Council authorized a State Revolving Fund Step III loan for the project:
https://burlingtonvt.portal.civicclerk.com/event/8235/files/attachment/11878
Project Summary
The 2026 Water Distribution Improvements project includes approximately 2,500 feet of pipe
replacement (open dig construction) in the following locations:
• Pine Street from Home Avenue south to the Champlain Parkway project limits
• Summit Street between Main Street and Maple Street
• Bennington Court
Each of these streets have experienced multiple water main breaks. This break history, in
addition to our other asset management data, risk calculation, and coordination with paving has
generated this 2026 workplan.
The Contractor, Project Inspector, and Water Resources Staff will all work to communicate with
1 of 4
Page 11 of 434
adequate prior notice to any affected property owners and residents before any planned water
outages occur as a result of the work. Additionally, H-Stake signs to notify the public of water
work will be places on each street at least 2 weeks before work, and a variable message board
will be placed at Summit Street and Pine Street one week prior to work to warn drivers of work
start date and potential delays. WRD’s goal is to minimize impacts both to water customers and
the traveling public.
Bennington Court water main construction must be completed by July 31, 2026 to accommodate
the DPW Technical Services paving program, and Pine Street and Summit Street water mains
must be constructed within 270 days and can potentially be completed later (Spring 2027) with
a winter work hiatus. The project schedule will be finalized after the contractor has a signed
agreement. It was previously anticipated the portion of Pine Street that has water main
replacement would receive full width paving as part of the same contract, however, DPW’s
Technical Services team decided not to include the work this year and the scope was removed
prior to bidding. Permanent patch pavement repair will be utilized over all trenches in the Right
of Way.
WRD has designed this project to use open dig water main replacement vs. water main relining
primarily due to the fact that with recent cost increases in the relining methodology, there is less
cost savings in the relining methodology over wholesale replacement and replacement with
plastic (C-900) pipe is anticipated to yield a higher life span (100 vs. 50 years). WRD will still use
relining where appropriate such as in areas where the subsurface is congested with significant
utility conflicts and no pipe upsizing is needed.
The water main replacement work will be funded from the 2025 voter approved WATER bond
Sustainable Infrastructure Plan. There is $7,250,000 programmed for water main renewal work.
The scope of work detailed in this memo would be the first draw on the voter approved WATER
bond for water main renewal work. More information about the Sustainable Infrastructure Plan
is here:
https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/885/2025-Bonds

Hello Chris,
We are doing reference checks for S.D. Ireland Brothers (SDI) for our project at Burlington. SDI is the low
bidder on a distribution system improvements project for approximately $1,300,000. The project includes
replacement of approximately 2,500 linear feet of water main and appurtenances, paving and surface
restoration.
If you could take a few minutes to answer the following reference questions by Monday (5/4) it would be
greatly appreciated:
Did you work with SDI on a similar type of construction project? I worked with SDI on waterline
installation and improvements on the Exit 16 DDI project .
What was the scope and approximate cost of the construction project? SDI performed many utility
upgrades including new waterline, hydrants, valves, this portion of the project was around $350,000.
Project was many utility, drainage improvements and walking paths and more totaling nearly 10
million..
Who managed the project at SDI and did they do a good job? Matt Wheeler and Kurt Hutchins
managed the project. The project was well managed with open lines of communication.

Page 81 of 434
What Subs were on the project and was SDI able to control the Subs? SDI managed their subs very
well. We had FWW, Maine drilling and Blasting, L&D.
Did SDI perform quality work and remain on schedule? SDI performed quality work and completed the
project ahead of schedule.
Did SDI request an excessive amount of change orders, and if so, what was the approximate
percentage of the entire project? SDI didn’t request an excessive amount of change orders.
Were there any issues with the SDI Safety Program? We encountered no safety issues. We were
working day and night and traffic in this location was always a concern, but they had a plan for all
aspects that we discussed prior to implementing and discussed changes if we determined they were
needed.
Did SDI complete the punch list and project closeout effectively? YES
Would you recommend SDI and do you have any other thoughts to share? I would recommend SDI, my
experience with them (currently working with them again) is they have good communication, and
willingness to do what it takes to do the task correctly. They do like to have a plan and continue to
work forward, when concerns or problems occur they want to move forward so they have been willing
to communicate with ideas to make that happen. Overall I have had mostly positive experiences with
them.
Thank you!

Hi Laura,
We are doing reference checks for S.D. Ireland Brothers (SDI) for our water main project. SDI is the low bidder
on a distribution system improvements project for approximately $1,300,000. The project includes
replacement of approximately 2,500 linear feet of water main and appurtenances, paving and surface
restoration.
If you could take a few minutes to answer the following reference questions by Monday (5/4) it would be
greatly appreciated:
Did you work with SDI on a similar type of construction project? Yes, it is ongoing. Water work is
complete
What was the scope and approximate cost of the construction project? The scope was full
water/sewer/utility replacement and relocation and streetscape work. SDI has spent $24.4M thus far
and has $4.5M remaining in their current contract.
Who managed the project at SDI and did they do a good job? John Magnus/Kim Nefferdorf – yes they
continue to be responsive.
What Subs were on the project and was SDI able to control the Subs? SDI used PB wastewater, they
were able to work with and manage all subs. Occasionally issues with availability for their subs caused
long lead times but the work was completed and the overall schedule was not impacted.
Did SDI perform quality work and remain on schedule? SDI’s schedule shifted for various work types
but their overall schedule is looking to be complete ahead of schedule. They were able to
communicate outages well to the public and were responsive to DPW/WR utility outage requirements
Did SDI request an excessive amount of change orders, and if so, what was the approximate
percentage of the entire project? There are many ongoing CO’s that SDI is taking very long to complete
and they are having issues dedicating time to completing this paperwork.
Were there any issues with the SDI Safety Program? No
3
Page 86 of 434
Did SDI complete the punch list and project closeout effectively? This is ongoing. The main WR item we
are still waiting on in regards to this punch list is as-built data
Would you recommend SDI and do you have any other thoughts to share? I would recommend SDI as
they are familiar with and responsive to Burlington’s needs in regards to vast public outreach with
utility impacts. They also work efficiently and carefully in the ROW doing utility work on very old
systems with many unknowns.
Thank you!

QUESTIONS:
Q1. How will increases in fuel and materials been handled based on the situation in

A1. Bidders should account for the price of fuel and materials in their bid.
Vermont SRF funded projects typically do not include the Federal Highway
Administration’s National Highway Construction Cost Index or similar cost
increase formula.
Q2. What if the budget or Engineer Opinion of Probably Cost is exceeded?
A2. Burlington has occasionally worked through projects that have exceeded the
project budget or the Engineer Opinion of Probable Cost. When bids come in for
this project, Burlington will assess how the bid impacts the current budget. If the
budget is exceeded it may be possible to request a reasonable increase. We will
stay in touch with the bidders after the bid due date to communicate next steps.

SUBJECT: Request to Accept and Execute a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the
Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) Phase 6 Grant and a Contract Agreement
with Jones Payne Group, Inc (JPG) for the completion of this RSIP Phase 6 project.
REQUEST
The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (Airport or BTV) seeks to:
1. Execute an Agreement with Jones Payne Group, Inc (JPG) for the RSIP Phase 6 project.
2. Execute a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) grant for the RSIP Phase 6 project.
Background Information
The program converts incompatible residential units to a compatible land use by installing an acoustical
treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by upgrading interior living areas.
Upgrades may include replacement of windows and doors with acoustically rated products and
installation or upgrade of ventilation systems. The sound insulation treatments are designed to reduce
the interior noise levels to below 45 DNL and provide a minimum noise level reduction of 5dB. It is
anticipated that this project will benefit potentially up to 300 homeowners with outreach, categorization
and eligibility of up to 200 homes and design for up to 50 homeowners. The entire program once
completed is anticipated to benefit approximately 2400 homeowners, which equates to approximate
5500 occupants.
Page 142 of 434
Project Description
This new Scope of Work consists of Phase 6 of the Residential Sound Insulation Program including:
• Program Management
• Outreach to 300 Homes
• Categorization and eligibility for up to 200 homes
• Design and Bid for up to 50 Homes made eligible through AIP – 157 and/or AIP – 158
categorization & eligibility efforts.
Benefits:
The Residential Sound Insulation Program (“Program”) is an approved measure of the 2020 FAA
approved 14 CFR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program. The overall Program includes approximately
2,400 residential units located within the 65-75 DNL contours of the approved 2024 Noise Exposure
Map (NEM). Homes in this project will be located in the City of South Burlington, City of Winooski,
Vermont or Town of Williston. Properties are selected based upon their location within or adjacent to
the approved 2024 Noise Exposure Map (NEM) 65 - 75 DNL with a goal of balancing the program
homes between the most affected cities/town of South Burlington, Winooski and Williston. Home
selection is to be determined as part of this scope of work.
Funding:
The funding is from the FAA through the typical Airport Improvement Program (AIP) process, with the
funds coming from the FAA Noise Program discretionary appropriation which provides 90% funding.
The remaining 10% is the local share which will supplemented with Passenger Facility Charges (PFC).
We also receive a portion of the local share reimbursement from an agreement with Vermont Gas
Systems (VGS) when these improvements balance/compare with their home energy efficiency program.

Page 152 of 434
3.1. Property Evaluation:
Evaluate properties within the 65 dB and 70 dB DNL humanized contours of the 2029 Noise Exposure
Map, which have not previously been invited to participate in the program. It is assumed that there are
up to 200 additional properties. The Team will perform the following tasks:
Program Applications: The Team will prepare and distribute homeowner applications to 300 (to account
for non-responders) of the most noise-impacted properties where homeowner applications have not
been received and where properties have not been evaluated under a prior categorization and acoustic
testing effort.
3.2. Initial Property Survey and Categorization of Structures
The Team will perform a property survey for up to 200 properties to assess existing conditions in all
habitable rooms. The following conditions will be documented at the site visit:
• Confirmation of Building use type (e.g., single-family, multi-family)
• Confirmation of the Number of levels

Page 4
Page 153 of 434
The Team will develop an acoustical testing plan (ATP) that meets the requirements in Section 8.2.3 of
AC 150 5000-9B. The test plan will provide a summary of the testing plan, including:
• Identification of all surveyed properties
• Property categories according to the criteria established in the overarching acoustical test plan
• Recommendation and rationale for the testing percentages for each category
• Identification of the specific homes recommended for acoustical testing.
3.4. Acoustical Testing for Eligibility and Technical Memorandum
Upon FAA acceptance of the test plan, the Team will test up to sixty (60) homes. This will require up to 4
weeks of testing, divided into two 2-week measurement rounds, with at least an intervening 4 weeks
needed to conduct data analysis and report results. Testing will be conducted at a pace of 1 to 3 homes
per day, depending upon the size of the structures. Following each round of acoustical testing, the Team
will analyze the measurement data and report the results and eligibility findings to JP in a technical
memorandum, in electronic format.
Travel Assumptions:
HMMH: Up to three (3) staff members will participate in each 2-week measurement effort, and one (1)
senior staff member will also perform on-site management and technical oversight for up to three (3)
days during each round of acoustical testing. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that two (2) of these
staff are local (based in HMMH’s Burlington, Massachusetts office and traveling by car) and that two
additional staff are based in California (requiring airfare). A total of eighty-six (86) hotel nights should be
budgeted for the out-of-state staff members. Principal Consultant (2x4 night trip), Senior Consultant
(2x13 night trip), Consultant (2x13 night trip), Consultant (2x13 night trip). Budgeting assumes one rental
car is large enough to carry all equipment for the duration of the testing.
Task 4. Design Services (50 Homes)
It is anticipated that the design services will result in one set of bid documents.
4.1. Select Program Homes
The Team will select up to 50 homes based upon the following criteria:

Page 154 of 434
4.2. Site Assessment Visits (Architectural/Engineering/Hazardous Materials)
The Team will conduct assessment visits to up to 50 homes at a rate of up to 5 homes per day. The
assessment team will include representatives of each discipline. The Team will:
• Conduct an existing conditions review
• Identify habitable vs non-habitable spaces
• Photo-document all exterior elevations and interior areas as needed
• Develop existing floor plans
• Document eligible window and door openings
• Review existing mechanical system and decide if ventilation is necessary; if so, develop a design
and installation plan
• Conduct environmental testing for hazardous materials including asbestos containing materials
and lead-based paint which will be done using an XRF analyzer
• Document all field notes, quantities, and measurements
The Team will discuss the project schedule and the homeowner agreement with the homeowner. A
draft copy of those documents will be given to the homeowner for review. We will also review potential
treatments with the homeowner at the end of the visit.
Travel Assumptions:
JP: Designer two one week trips, 7 nights each. Architect one trip, 2 nights.
4.3. 60% Design Drawings
The Team will develop schematic treatment recommendations for each home that account for the
conditions specific to each home and reflect the acoustic treatments required per the noise
modeling. Design issues will vary from house to house depending on whether conditions require
additional testing and inspection by the team’s structural, hazmat, or acoustical consultants. The
drawing sets will include floor plans, door and window schedules, photos of each elevation, and
preliminary details on any upgrades or modifications to mechanical, electrical, or ventilation systems.
The Team will coordinate with local building officials regarding any potential issues identified during the
assessment visits.
4.4. Execution of Participation Agreements with Homeowners
After reviewing the 60% documents, the Team will visit each homeowner to review the acoustical
treatments proposed for their home. The Team will explain the treatments to the homeowner, answer
any questions, and provide further product information via the product samples.

Page 155 of 434
Any changes requested by the homeowner that are consistent with the Program Policy and Procedures
Manual (PPM) will be allowed. Changes that are not consistent with the PPM will be reviewed with
Airport staff. The final approved treatments will be incorporated in a document referred to as the
Approved Concept Packet (ACP).
The Team will compile a Homeowner Agreement package, which includes the Approved Concept Packet
(ACP) and the Homeowner Agreement. The Team will transmit the Homeowner Agreement Package to
each homeowner for execution. The Team will coordinate the execution of the Homeowner Agreement

each home in the bid package. The 90 percent documents are a preview of the final contract documents,
which includes the architectural and engineering design plans; schedules showing door and window
types keyed to details, finishes and colors; and a set of technical specifications and construction details
to cover the array of products and installation conditions found within the program boundary.
Copies of the 90 percent documents will be submitted to the FAA and Airport for review and
comment. Feedback from each agency regarding document compliance with their respective
requirements would be particularly valuable. The Team will also provide a probable cost for each of the
project homes for review by Airport and the FAA. The probable cost estimate will identify whether an
item is or is not AIP eligible. The 90% bid documents will contain the following items:
• Division 0 – Bidding Requirements/Contract Documents; Division 1 – General Provisions; Division 2 –
Technical Specifications

Accessibility Guidelines), and any more stringent disability access laws that may apply. If
applicable to the Work, and to the extent appropriate in the Consultant’s reasonable
professional judgment, the Consultant shall build reasonable tolerances into plans to ensure
that as-built or remodeled, buildings or structures comply with applicable accessibility
standards (e.g., so that the future tiling of a wall will not cause a restroom stall to fail to
meet minimum width standards, etc.).
9. RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUPERVISION: The Consultant shall assume primary
responsibility for general supervision of Consultant employees and their sub-consultants for all
work performed under the Contract and shall be solely responsible for all procedures, methods

or plans. The Consultant shall inform the City, in writing, of any such contacts and the results
thereof.

for the purposes of inspection, accounting, and auditing, and the Consultant shall provide
whatever access is considered necessary to accomplish such inspections. At any time, the
Consultant shall permit the City or representative for the City the opportunity to inspect any
plans, drawings, estimates, specifications, or other materials prepared or undertaken by the
Consultant pursuant to the Contract, as well as any preparatory work, work-in-progress, or
completed work at a field site, where applicable.
Conferences, visits to a site, or an inspection of the work, may be held at the request of any
involved party or by representatives of the City.
12. REVIEWS AND ACCEPTANCES: All preliminary and detailed designs, plans,
specifications, estimates or other documents prepared by the Consultant, shall be subject to
review and endorsement by the City.
Approval for any inspections or sequences of progress of work shall be documented by letters,
memoranda or other appropriate written means.
A frequency for formal reviews shall be set forth in the Contract. Informal reviews, conducted
by the City will be performed as deemed necessary. The Consultant shall respond to all official
comments regardless of their source. The Consultant shall supply the City with written copies
of all correspondence relating to formal and informal reviews.
No acceptance shall relieve a Consultant of their professional obligation to correct any defects
or errors in their work at their own expense.
13. PUBLIC RELATIONS: Whenever it is necessary to perform work in the field, particularly
with respect to reconnaissance, the Consultant will endeavor to maintain good relations with the
public and any affected property owners. Personnel employed by or representing the Consultant

Contract. The Consultant agrees that any work will be done with minimum damage to the land
and disturbance to the owner. Upon request of the Consultant, the City shall furnish a letter of
Page 169 of 434
introduction to property owners soliciting their cooperation and explaining that the Consultant
is acting as an agent of the City.
14. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Acknowledgment of the City’s support must be included in any
and all publications, renderings and project publicity, including audio/visual materials
developed under this Contract.
15. APPEARANCES:
A. Hearings and Conferences: The Consultant shall provide services required by the City and
necessary for furtherance of any work covered under the Contract. These services shall
include appropriate representation at design conferences, public gatherings and hearings,
and appearances before any legislative body, commission, board, or court, to justify,
explain and defend its contractual services covered under the Contract.
The Consultant shall perform any liaison that the City deems necessary for the furtherance
of the work and participate in conferences with the City, at any reasonable time, concerning
interpretation and evaluation of all aspects covered under the Contract.
The Consultant further agrees to participate in meetings with the City and any other
interested or affected participant, for the purpose of review or resolution of any conflicts
pertaining to the Contract.
The Consultant shall be equitably paid for such services and for any reasonable expenses
incurred in relation thereto in accordance with the Contract.
B. Appearance as Witness: If and when required by the City, the Consultant, or an appropriate
representative, shall prepare and appear for any litigation concerning any relevant project
or related contract, on behalf of the City. The Consultant shall be equitably paid, to the
extent permitted by law, for such services and for any reasonable expenses incurred in
relation thereto, in accordance with the Contract.
16. PAYMENT PROCEDURES: The City shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Consultant or the
Consultant’s legal representative payments in accordance with the Contract. All payments will
be made in reliance upon the accuracy of all representations made by the Consultant, whether in
invoices, progress reports, emails, or other proof of work. When applicable, for the type of
payment specified in the Contract, the progress report shall summarize actual costs and any earned
portion of fixed fee.
All invoices and correspondence shall indicate the applicable project name, project number and
the Contract number. When relevant, the invoice shall further be broken down in detail between
projects.
When applicable, for the type of payment specified in the Contract, expenses for meals and travel
shall be limited to the current approved in-state rates, as determined by the State of Vermont’s
labor contract, and need not be receipted. All other expenses are subject to approval by the City
Page 170 of 434
and must be accompanied with documentation to substantiate their charges.
No approval given or payment made under the Contract, shall be conclusive evidence of the
performance of the Contract, either wholly or in part thereof, and no payment shall be construed
to be acceptance of defective work or improper materials.
The City agrees to pay the Consultant and the Consultant agrees to accept, as full compensation,
for performance of all services rendered and expenses incurred, the fee specified in the Contract.
Upon completion of all services covered under the Contract and payment of the agreed upon fee,
the Contract with its mutual obligations shall end.
17. DUTY TO INFORM CITY OF CONTRACT DOCUMENT ERRORS: If Consultant
knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a clearly identifiable error or omission exists in
the Contract Documents, including but not limited to unit prices and rate calculations,
Consultant shall immediately give the City written notice thereof. Consultant shall not cause
or permit any Work to be conducted which may relate to the error or omission without first
receiving written notice by the City that City representatives understand the possible error or
omission and have approved of modifications to the Contract Documents or that Consultant
may proceed without any modification being made to Contract Documents.
18. NON-APPROPRIATION: The obligations of the City under this Contract are subject to
annual appropriation by the Burlington City Council. If no funds or insufficient funds are
appropriated or budgeted to support continuation of payments due under this Contract, the
Contract shall terminate automatically on the first day of the fiscal year for which funds have
not been appropriated. The Parties understand and agree that the obligations of the City to
make payments under this Contract shall constitute a current expense of the City and shall not
be construed to be a debt or a pledge of the credit of the City. The decision whether or not to
budget and appropriate funds during each fiscal year of the City is within the discretion of the
Mayor and City Council of the City. The City shall deliver written notice to Consultant as soon
as practicable of any non-appropriation, and Contract Consultant shall not be entitled to any
payment or compensation of any kind for work performed after the City has delivered written
notice of non-appropriation.
19. CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS: No changes or amendments to the Work of the Contract
shall be effective unless documented in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the
City and the Consultant.
20. EXTENSION OF TIME: The Consultant agrees to prosecute the work continuously and
diligently and no charges or claims for damages shall be made by the Consultant for delays or
hindrances, from any cause whatsoever, during the progress of any portion of services specified
in the Contract. Such delays or hindrances, if any, may be compensated for by an extension of
time for such reasonable period as the City may decide. Time extensions shall be granted by
amendment, only for excusable delays, such as delays beyond the control of the Consultant
and without the fault or negligence of the Consultant.

iii. The City may revisit the plan at any time to verify compliance with
obligations that arise under a state of emergency.
C. Enforcement & Stoppage of Work: Consultant fails to comply with either 1) the approved
public health emergency plan, or 2) any local, state, federal orders, directives, regulations,
guidance, or advisories during a public health emergency, the City may stop Work under
the Contract until such failure is corrected. Such failure to comply shall constitute a breach
of the Contract.

Page 172 of 434
If Consultant’s breach of Contract has not been cured within seven (7) days after notice to
stop Work from the City, then City may terminate this Contract, at its discretion.
D. City Liability Relating to Potential Delays: If a public health emergency is declared, the
City will not be responsible for any delays related to the sequence of operations or any
expenses or losses incurred as a result of any delays. Any delays related to a public health
emergency will be excusable, but will not be compensable.
22. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither Party to this Contract shall be liable to the other for any failure
or delay of performance of any obligation under this Contract to the extent the failure or delay
is caused by acts of God, public health emergencies, epidemics, acts of the public enemy, acts
of superior governmental authority, weather conditions, riots, rebellion, sabotage, or any other
circumstances for which it is not responsible or which is not under its control (“Force
Majeure”). To assert Force Majeure, the nonperforming party must prove that a) it made all
reasonable efforts to remove, eliminate, or minimize the cause of delay or damage, b) diligently
pursued performance of its obligations, c) substantially fulfilled all obligations that could be
fulfilled, and d) timely notified the other part of the likelihood or actual occurrence of a Force
Majeure event. If any such causes for delay are of such magnitude as to prevent the complete
performance of the Contract within two (2) years of the originally scheduled completion date,
either Party may by written notice request to amend or terminate the Contract. The suspension
of any obligations under this section shall not cause the term of this Contract to be extended
and shall not affect any rights accrued under this Contract prior to the occurrence of the Force
Majeure. The Party giving notice of the Force Majeure shall also give notice of its cessation.
23. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK, ADDITIONAL SERVICES OR CHANGES: The City
may, in writing, and without invalidating the Contract, require changes resulting from revision or
abandonment of work already performed by the Consultant or changes in the scope of work.
The value of such changes, to the extent not reflected in other payments to the Consultant, shall
be incorporated in an amendment and be determined by mutual agreement. Any adjustments of
this nature shall be executed under the appropriate fee established in the Contract, based on the
adjusted quantity of work.
No changes for which additional fee payment is claimed shall be made unless pursuant to a written
order from the City, and no claim for payment shall be valid unless so ordered.
The Consultant agrees to maintain complete and accurate records, in a form satisfactory to the
City for all time devoted directly to same by Consultant employees. The City reserves the right
to audit the records of the Consultant related to any extra work or additional services. Any such
services rendered shall be subject, in all other respects, to the terms of the Contract. When changes
are so ordered, no additional work shall be performed by the Consultant until a Contract
amendment has been fully executed, unless written notice to proceed is issued by the City. Any
claim for extension of time that may be necessitated as a result of extra work or additional services
and changes shall be given consideration and evaluated insofar as it directly relates to the change.
24. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH TIME SCHEDULE: If the City is dissatisfied because of
Page 173 of 434
slow progress or incompetence in the performance of the Work in accordance with the schedule
for completion of the various aspects of construction, the City shall give the Consultant written
notice in which the City shall specify in detail the cause of dissatisfaction. Should the
Consultant fail or refuse to remedy the matters complained of within five days after the written
notice is received by the Consultant, the City shall have the right to take control of the Work
and either make good the deficiencies of the Consultant itself or direct the activities of the
Consultant in doing so, employing such additional help as the City deems advisable. In such
events, the City shall be entitled to collect from the Consultant any expenses in completing the
Work. In addition, the City may withhold from the amount payable to the Consultant an
amount approximately equal to any interest lost or charges incurred by the City for each
calendar day that the Consultant is in default after the time of completion stipulated in the
Contract Documents.
25. RETURN OF MATERIALS: Consultant agrees that at the expiration or termination of this
Contract, it shall return to City all materials provided to it during its engagement on behalf of
City.
26. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT; RELEASE: Consultant’s acceptance of the final
payment shall be a release in full of all claims against the City or its agents arising out of or by
reason of the Work. Any payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not release the Consultant
or their sureties from any obligations under the Contract Documents or any performance or
payment bond.
27. OWNERSHIP OF THE WORK: The Consultant agrees that the ownership of all studies,
data sheets, survey notes, subsoil information, drawings, tracings, estimates, specifications,
proposals, diagrams, calculations, EDM and other material prepared or collected by the
Consultant, hereafter referred to as "instruments of professional service", shall become the
property of the City as they are prepared and/or developed during execution of the Contract.
The Consultant agrees to allow the City access to all “instruments of professional service” at
any time. The Consultant shall not copyright any material originating under the Contract
without prior written approval of the City. No publications or publicity of the work, in part or
in total, shall be made without the express written agreement of the City, except that Consultant
may in general terms use previously developed instruments of professional service to describe
its abilities for a project in promotional materials.
28. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: The Parties under the Contract hereby mutually agree that, if
patentable discoveries or inventions should result from work performed by the Consultants
under the Contract, all rights accruing from such discoveries or inventions shall be the sole
property of the Consultant. The Consultant, however, agrees to and does hereby grant to the
City an irrevocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to the
manufacture, use, and disposition of any discovery or invention that may be developed as a
part of the Work under the Contract.
29. PUBLIC RECORDS: The Consultant understands that any and all records related to and
acquired by the City, whether electronic, paper, or otherwise recorded, are subject to the
Vermont Public Records Act and that the determination of how those records must be handled
Page 174 of 434
is solely within the purview of City. The Consultant shall identify all records that it considers
to be trade secrets as that term is defined by subsection 317(c)(9) of the Vermont Public
Records Act and shall also identify all other records it considers to be exempt under the Act.
It is not sufficient to merely state generally that the record is proprietary or a trade secret or is
otherwise exempt. Particular records, pages or section which are believed to be exempt must
be specifically identified as such and must be separated from other records with a convincing
explanation and rationale sufficient to justify each exemption from release consistent with
Section 317 of Title 1 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated.
30. RECORDS RETENTION AND ACCESS: The Consultant agrees to retain, in its files, and
to produce to the City—within the time periods requested—all books, documents, Electronic
Data Media (EDM), accounting records, and other records produced or acquired by the
Consultant in the performance of this Contract which are related to the City, at any time during
this Contract and for a period of at least three (3) years after its completion or termination. In
addition, if any audit, claim, or litigation is commenced before the expiration of that three (3)
year period, the records shall be retained until all related audits, claims, or litigation are
resolved. The Consultant further agrees that the City shall have access to all the above
information for the purpose of review and audit during the Contract period and anytime within
the aforementioned retention period. Copies of all of the above referenced information shall
be provided to the City, if requested, in the format in which the records were obtained, created,
or maintained, such that their original use and purpose can be achieved. Consultant, sub-
consultants, or their representatives performing work related to the Contract, are responsible to
ensure that all data and information created or stored on EDM is secure and can be duplicated
and used if the EDM mechanism is subjected to power outage, obsolescence, or damage.
31. CONTRACT DISPUTES: In the event of a dispute between the parties to this Contract each
party will continue to perform its obligations unless the Contract is terminated in accordance
with these terms.
32. SETTLEMENTS OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Neither Party shall file any litigation
arising from this Contract without first attempting in good faith to resolve the Parties’ dispute
through negotiated settlement or mediation; provided, however, that any applicable statute of
limitations shall toll during any period in which the Parties are actively and mutually engaged
in dispute resolution; and provided further that nothing herein shall prevent either Party from
seeking emergency relief in appropriate circumstances from a court of competent jurisdiction.
33. CITY'S OPTION TO TERMINATE: The Contract may be terminated in accordance with
the following provisions, which are not exclusive:
A. Termination for Convenience: At any time prior to completion of services specified under
the Contract, the City may terminate the Contract for any reason by submitting written
notice via certified or registered mail to the Consultant, not less than fifteen (15) days prior
to the termination date, of its intention to do so. If the termination is for the City’s
convenience, payment to the Consultant will be made promptly for the amount of any fees
earned to the date of the notice of termination and costs of materials obtained in preparation
for Work but not yet installed or delivered, less any payments previously made. However,
Page 175 of 434
if a notice of termination is given to a Consultant prior to completion of twenty (20) percent
of the estimated services, as set forth in the approved Work Schedule and Progress Report,
the Consultant will be reimbursed for that portion of any reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred to date of the notice of termination that are in excess of the amount
earned under its approved fee to the date of said termination. Such requests for
reimbursement shall be supported with factual data and shall be subject to the City’s
approval. The Consultant shall make no claim for additional compensation against the City
by reason of such termination.
B. Termination for Cause:
i. Breach: Consultant shall be in default if Consultant fails in any manner to fully
perform and carry out each and all conditions of this Contract, including, but not
limited to, Consultant’s failure to begin or to prosecute the Work in a timely manner
or to make progress as to endanger performance of this Contract; failure to supply a
sufficient number of properly skilled employees or a sufficient quantity of materials
of proper quality; failure to perform the Work unsatisfactorily as determined by the
City; failure to neglect or refuse to remove materials; or in the event of a breach of
warranty with respect to any materials, workmanship, or performance guaranty.
Consultant will not be in default for any excusable delays as provided in Sections 19-
21.
The City may give Consultant written notice of such default. If Consultant does not
cure such default or provide a plan to cure such default which is acceptable to the
City within the time permitted by the City, then the City may terminate this contract
for cause.
ii. Proceedings for Relief of Debtors: If a federal or state proceeding for relief of debtors is
undertaken by or against Consultant, or if Consultant makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, then the City may immediately terminate this contract.
iii. Dishonest Conduct: If Consultant engages in any dishonest conduct related to the
performance or administration of this Contract then the City may immediately terminate
this contract.
iv. Cover: In the event the City terminates this contract as provided in this section, the City
may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as the City may deem appropriate,
services similar in scope and level of effort to those so terminated, and Consultant shall
be liable to the City for all of its costs and damages, including, but not limited to, any
excess costs for such services, interest, or other charges the City incurs to cover.
Page 176 of 434
v. Rights and Remedies Not Exclusive: The rights and remedies of the City provided in this
section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or under this Contract.
34. GENERAL COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS: The Consultant and any subconsultant
approved under this Contract shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws,
including but not limited to the Burlington Livable Wage Ordinance, the Non-Outsourcing
Ordinance, and the Union-Deterrence Ordinance and shall provide the required certifications
attesting to compliance with these ordinances (see attached ordinances and certifications).
Provisions of the Contract shall be interpreted and implemented in a manner consistent with
each other and using procedures that will achieve the intent of both Parties. If, for any reason,
a provision in the Contract is unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be deemed severed
from the Contract, and the remaining provisions shall be carried out with the same force and
effect as if the severed provisions had never been a part of the Contract.
35. CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: During performance
of the Contract, the Consultant will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of religious affiliation, race, color, national origin, place of birth,
ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, veteran status, disability,
HIV positive status, crime victim status, or genetic information. Consultant, and any
subconsultants, shall comply with any Federal, State, or local law, statute, regulation,
Executive Order, or rule that applies to it or the services to be provided under this contract
concerning equal employment, fair employment practices, affirmative action, or prohibitions

date of signing the Contract, that the Consultant (a) is not under an obligation to pay child
support; or (b) is under such an obligation and is in good standing with respect to that
obligation; or (c) has agreed to a payment plan with the Vermont Office of Child Support

If the Consultant is a corporation, this provision does not apply.
37. TAX REQUIREMENTS: By signing the Contract, the Consultant certifies, as required by

donation of substantial value to any elected official, officer, employee, or agent of the City
during the term of this Contract.
39. ASSIGNMENT: Consultant shall not sublet or assign this Work, or any part of it, without the
written consent of the City. If any subconsultant is approved, Consultant shall be responsible
Page 177 of 434
and liable for all acts or omissions of that subconsultant for any Work performed. If any
subconsultant is approved, Consultant shall be responsible to ensure that the subconsultant is

interest in the work, covered by this Contract, without prior written consent of the City, and
further, if any sub-consultant participates in any work involving additional services, the

and approved by the City. The Consultant shall ensure that insurance coverage exists for any
operations to be performed by any sub-consultant as specified in the insurance requirements

obligations to complete the Contract unless the City agrees to terminate the Contract because it
determines that the Consultant is unable to satisfactorily execute the Contract.
42. INTERPRETATION & IMPLEMENTATION: Provisions of the Contract shall be
interpreted and implemented in a manner consistent with each other and using procedures that
will achieve the intent of both Parties.
43. ARM’S LENGTH: This Contract has been negotiated at arm’s length, and any ambiguity in
any of its terms or provisions shall be interpreted in accordance with the intent of the Parties
and not against or in favor of either the City or Consultant.

independent capacity and not as officers or employees of the City. To that end, the Consultant
shall determine the method, details, and means of performing the work, but will comply with all
legal requirements in doing so. The Consultant shall provide its own tools, materials, or
equipment. The Parties agree that neither the Consultant nor its principal(s) or employees are
entitled to any employee benefits from the City. Consultant understands and agrees that it and its

applied in the interpretation, execution, and enforcement of this Contract, notwithstanding

accommodate a Boeing 767 cargo aircraft. This project will add the additional needed space at the
existing cargo apron. The additional space will grow our common use, as this area will be shared cargo
apron infrastructure with many operators. This project also includes the relocation of the vehicle service
road from the Runway 1 end to Taxiway Charlie.

Project Approach
S.D. Ireland Concrete Construction Corporation (SDI) was selected through a competitive bid process
in March 2026. There were a total of two bids and SDI provided the lowest comprehensive and
complete bid.
Hoyle Tanner and Associates (HTA) was selected to provide construction oversight and resident
representative (RPR) services through the Airports selection process by meeting standards by the FAA
for this project. This price was determined through an extensive pricing process established by the FAA
for all airport improvement projects (AIP) grant funded projects. For FAA AIP projects, a
qualifications-based process with an independent fee estimate (IDE) is completed for projects.
Anything over $100,000 requires it to be reviewed by an independent engineer/reviewer of scope and
fee. Once this is completed a record of negotiations (RON) is completed if needed, dependent on the
results of the IFE.
Benefits:
Currently the airport has one cargo apron designated for one air carrier. This expansion of
approximately 7,200 SY will allow for multiple operators, which will grow the airports common use
as multiple operators will use the additional space.
Funding:
The funding is from the FAA through the typical Airport Improvement Program (AIP) process, with the
funds coming from the airport entitlement appropriation. The remaining 10% is the local share which
BTV will provide. This funding is backed and will be paid for with the airports passenger facilities
charges (PFC).

7. PERFORMANCE: Consultant warrants that performance of Work will conform to the
requirements of this Contract. Consultant shall use that degree of ordinary care and reasonable
diligence that an experienced and qualified provider of similar services would use acting in
like circumstances and experience in such matters and in accordance with the standards,

8. DESIGN STANDARDS:
a. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Contract, or directed in writing,
Consultant services, studies or designs, that include or make reference to plans,
specifications, special provisions, computations, estimates, or other data shall be in
conformance with applicable City, state, and federal specifications, manuals, codes or

promulgated pursuant thereto (including, without limitation, the current edition of the ADA
Accessibility Guidelines), and any more stringent disability access laws that may apply. If
applicable to the Work, and to the extent appropriate in the Consultant’s reasonable
professional judgment, the Consultant shall build reasonable tolerances into plans to ensure
that as-built or remodeled, buildings or structures comply with applicable accessibility
standards (e.g., so that the future tiling of a wall will not cause a restroom stall to fail to
meet minimum width standards, etc.).
9. RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUPERVISION: The Consultant shall assume primary
responsibility for general supervision of Consultant employees and their sub-consultants for all
work performed under the Contract and shall be solely responsible for all procedures, methods
Page 236 of 434
of analysis, interpretation, conclusions and contents of work performed under the Contract. The
Consultant shall be responsible to the City for all acts or omissions of its subconsultants and any
other person performing work under this Contract.
10. UTILITIES: Whenever a facility or component of a private, public, or cooperatively-owned

ground. Any such installations must be completely and accurately exhibited on any detail sheets
or plans. The Consultant shall inform the City, in writing, of any such contacts and the results
thereof.
11. INSPECTION OF WORK: The City shall, at all times, have access to the Consultant’s work
for the purposes of inspection, accounting, and auditing, and the Consultant shall provide
whatever access is considered necessary to accomplish such inspections. At any time, the
Consultant shall permit the City or representative for the City the opportunity to inspect any
plans, drawings, estimates, specifications, or other materials prepared or undertaken by the
Consultant pursuant to the Contract, as well as any preparatory work, work-in-progress, or
completed work at a field site, where applicable.
Conferences, visits to a site, or an inspection of the work, may be held at the request of any
involved party or by representatives of the City.
12. REVIEWS AND ACCEPTANCES: All preliminary and detailed designs, plans,
specifications, estimates or other documents prepared by the Consultant, shall be subject to
review and endorsement by the City.
Approval for any inspections or sequences of progress of work shall be documented by letters,
memoranda or other appropriate written means.
A frequency for formal reviews shall be set forth in the Contract. Informal reviews, conducted
by the City will be performed as deemed necessary. The Consultant shall respond to all official
comments regardless of their source. The Consultant shall supply the City with written copies
of all correspondence relating to formal and informal reviews.
No acceptance shall relieve a Consultant of their professional obligation to correct any defects
or errors in their work at their own expense.
13. PUBLIC RELATIONS: Whenever it is necessary to perform work in the field, particularly
with respect to reconnaissance, the Consultant will endeavor to maintain good relations with the
public and any affected property owners. Personnel employed by or representing the Consultant

Contract. The Consultant agrees that any work will be done with minimum damage to the land
and disturbance to the owner. Upon request of the Consultant, the City shall furnish a letter of

introduction to property owners soliciting their cooperation and explaining that the Consultant
is acting as an agent of the City.
14. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Acknowledgment of the City’s support must be included in any
and all publications, renderings and project publicity, including audio/visual materials
developed under this Contract.
15. APPEARANCES:
A. Hearings and Conferences: The Consultant shall provide services required by the City and
necessary for furtherance of any work covered under the Contract. These services shall
include appropriate representation at design conferences, public gatherings and hearings,
and appearances before any legislative body, commission, board, or court, to justify,
explain and defend its contractual services covered under the Contract.
The Consultant shall perform any liaison that the City deems necessary for the furtherance
of the work and participate in conferences with the City, at any reasonable time, concerning
interpretation and evaluation of all aspects covered under the Contract.
The Consultant further agrees to participate in meetings with the City and any other
interested or affected participant, for the purpose of review or resolution of any conflicts
pertaining to the Contract.
The Consultant shall be equitably paid for such services and for any reasonable expenses
incurred in relation thereto in accordance with the Contract.
B. Appearance as Witness: If and when required by the City, the Consultant, or an appropriate
representative, shall prepare and appear for any litigation concerning any relevant project
or related contract, on behalf of the City. The Consultant shall be equitably paid, to the
extent permitted by law, for such services and for any reasonable expenses incurred in
relation thereto, in accordance with the Contract.
16. PAYMENT PROCEDURES: The City shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Consultant or the
Consultant’s legal representative payments in accordance with the Contract. All payments will
be made in reliance upon the accuracy of all representations made by the Consultant, whether in
invoices, progress reports, emails, or other proof of work. When applicable, for the type of
payment specified in the Contract, the progress report shall summarize actual costs and any earned
portion of fixed fee.
All invoices and correspondence shall indicate the applicable project name, project number and
the Contract number. When relevant, the invoice shall further be broken down in detail between
projects.
When applicable, for the type of payment specified in the Contract, expenses for meals and travel
shall be limited to the current approved in-state rates, as determined by the State of Vermont’s
labor contract, and need not be receipted. All other expenses are subject to approval by the City
Page 238 of 434
and must be accompanied with documentation to substantiate their charges.
No approval given or payment made under the Contract, shall be conclusive evidence of the
performance of the Contract, either wholly or in part thereof, and no payment shall be construed
to be acceptance of defective work or improper materials.
The City agrees to pay the Consultant and the Consultant agrees to accept, as full compensation,
for performance of all services rendered and expenses incurred, the fee specified in the Contract.
Upon completion of all services covered under the Contract and payment of the agreed upon fee,
the Contract with its mutual obligations shall end.
17. DUTY TO INFORM CITY OF CONTRACT DOCUMENT ERRORS: If Consultant
knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a clearly identifiable error or omission exists in
the Contract Documents, including but not limited to unit prices and rate calculations,
Consultant shall immediately give the City written notice thereof. Consultant shall not cause
or permit any Work to be conducted which may relate to the error or omission without first
receiving written notice by the City that City representatives understand the possible error or
omission and have approved of modifications to the Contract Documents or that Consultant
may proceed without any modification being made to Contract Documents.
18. NON-APPROPRIATION: The obligations of the City under this Contract are subject to
annual appropriation by the Burlington City Council. If no funds or insufficient funds are
appropriated or budgeted to support continuation of payments due under this Contract, the
Contract shall terminate automatically on the first day of the fiscal year for which funds have
not been appropriated. The Parties understand and agree that the obligations of the City to
make payments under this Contract shall constitute a current expense of the City and shall not
be construed to be a debt or a pledge of the credit of the City. The decision whether or not to
budget and appropriate funds during each fiscal year of the City is within the discretion of the
Mayor and City Council of the City. The City shall deliver written notice to Consultant as soon
as practicable of any non-appropriation, and Contract Consultant shall not be entitled to any
payment or compensation of any kind for work performed after the City has delivered written
notice of non-appropriation.
19. CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS: No changes or amendments to the Work of the Contract
shall be effective unless documented in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the
City and the Consultant.
20. EXTENSION OF TIME: The Consultant agrees to prosecute the work continuously and
diligently and no charges or claims for damages shall be made by the Consultant for delays or
hindrances, from any cause whatsoever, during the progress of any portion of services specified
in the Contract. Such delays or hindrances, if any, may be compensated for by an extension of
time for such reasonable period as the City may decide. Time extensions shall be granted by
amendment, only for excusable delays, such as delays beyond the control of the Consultant
and without the fault or negligence of the Consultant.
Page 239 of 434
21. PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY:
A. Compliance with Mandates and Guidance: The Consultant is advised that public health
emergencies—meaning public health emergencies, as declared by the City, the State of
Vermont, or the Federal Government—may introduce significant uncertainty into the
project. The Consultant must comply with all local, state, federal orders, directives,
regulations, guidance, advisories during a public health emergency. Consultant shall
adhere to the below provisions and consider public health emergencies as it develops
project schedules and advances the Work.
B. Creation of Public Health Emergency Plan: For any work performed on-site at a City
location, the Consultant shall create a public health emergency plan acceptable to the City.
The Consultant shall be responsible for following this plan and ensuring that the project or
site is stable and in a safe and maintainable condition.
a. Public Health Emergency Plan: The Public Health Emergency Plan will contain:
i. Measures to manage risk and mitigate potential impacts to the health and
safety of the public, the City and Consultant’s workers;
ii. Explicit reference to any health and safety performance standards and
mandates provided by the City, the State of Vermont, the Federal
government, or other relevant governmental entities;
iii. A schedule for possible updates to the plan as standards and mandates
change; and
iv. Means to adjust the schedule and sequence of work should the emergency
change in nature or duration.
b. Review and Acceptance of Plan:
i. Consultant must provide the plan to the City by the Effective Date of this
Contract or by one (1) week prior to the commencement of on-site activities,
whichever is later.
ii. The City shall have sole discretion to require changes to the plan.
iii. The City may revisit the plan at any time to verify compliance with
obligations that arise under a state of emergency.
C. Enforcement & Stoppage of Work: Consultant fails to comply with either 1) the approved
public health emergency plan, or 2) any local, state, federal orders, directives, regulations,
guidance, or advisories during a public health emergency, the City may stop Work under
the Contract until such failure is corrected. Such failure to comply shall constitute a breach
of the Contract.
Upon stoppage of work, the City may allow Work to resume, at a time determined by the
City, under this Contract if such failure to comply is adequately corrected. The City shall
have sole discretion in determining if Consultant has adequately corrected its failure to
comply with the above.
Page 240 of 434
If Consultant’s breach of Contract has not been cured within seven (7) days after notice to
stop Work from the City, then City may terminate this Contract, at its discretion.
D. City Liability Relating to Potential Delays: If a public health emergency is declared, the
City will not be responsible for any delays related to the sequence of operations or any
expenses or losses incurred as a result of any delays. Any delays related to a public health
emergency will be excusable, but will not be compensable.
22. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither Party to this Contract shall be liable to the other for any failure
or delay of performance of any obligation under this Contract to the extent the failure or delay
is caused by acts of God, public health emergencies, epidemics, acts of the public enemy, acts
of superior governmental authority, weather conditions, riots, rebellion, sabotage, or any other
circumstances for which it is not responsible or which is not under its control (“Force
Majeure”). To assert Force Majeure, the nonperforming party must prove that a) it made all
reasonable efforts to remove, eliminate, or minimize the cause of delay or damage, b) diligently
pursued performance of its obligations, c) substantially fulfilled all obligations that could be
fulfilled, and d) timely notified the other part of the likelihood or actual occurrence of a Force
Majeure event. If any such causes for delay are of such magnitude as to prevent the complete
performance of the Contract within two (2) years of the originally scheduled completion date,
either Party may by written notice request to amend or terminate the Contract. The suspension
of any obligations under this section shall not cause the term of this Contract to be extended
and shall not affect any rights accrued under this Contract prior to the occurrence of the Force
Majeure. The Party giving notice of the Force Majeure shall also give notice of its cessation.
23. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK, ADDITIONAL SERVICES OR CHANGES: The City
may, in writing, and without invalidating the Contract, require changes resulting from revision or
abandonment of work already performed by the Consultant or changes in the scope of work.
The value of such changes, to the extent not reflected in other payments to the Consultant, shall
be incorporated in an amendment and be determined by mutual agreement. Any adjustments of
this nature shall be executed under the appropriate fee established in the Contract, based on the
adjusted quantity of work.
No changes for which additional fee payment is claimed shall be made unless pursuant to a written
order from the City, and no claim for payment shall be valid unless so ordered.
The Consultant agrees to maintain complete and accurate records, in a form satisfactory to the
City for all time devoted directly to same by Consultant employees. The City reserves the right
to audit the records of the Consultant related to any extra work or additional services. Any such
services rendered shall be subject, in all other respects, to the terms of the Contract. When changes
are so ordered, no additional work shall be performed by the Consultant until a Contract
amendment has been fully executed, unless written notice to proceed is issued by the City. Any
claim for extension of time that may be necessitated as a result of extra work or additional services
and changes shall be given consideration and evaluated insofar as it directly relates to the change.
24. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH TIME SCHEDULE: If the City is dissatisfied because of
Page 241 of 434
slow progress or incompetence in the performance of the Work in accordance with the schedule
for completion of the various aspects of construction, the City shall give the Consultant written
notice in which the City shall specify in detail the cause of dissatisfaction. Should the
Consultant fail or refuse to remedy the matters complained of within five days after the written
notice is received by the Consultant, the City shall have the right to take control of the Work
and either make good the deficiencies of the Consultant itself or direct the activities of the
Consultant in doing so, employing such additional help as the City deems advisable. In such
events, the City shall be entitled to collect from the Consultant any expenses in completing the
Work. In addition, the City may withhold from the amount payable to the Consultant an
amount approximately equal to any interest lost or charges incurred by the City for each
calendar day that the Consultant is in default after the time of completion stipulated in the
Contract Documents.
25. RETURN OF MATERIALS: Consultant agrees that at the expiration or termination of this
Contract, it shall return to City all materials provided to it during its engagement on behalf of
City.
26. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT; RELEASE: Consultant’s acceptance of the final
payment shall be a release in full of all claims against the City or its agents arising out of or by
reason of the Work. Any payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not release the Consultant
or their sureties from any obligations under the Contract Documents or any performance or
payment bond.
27. OWNERSHIP OF THE WORK: The Consultant agrees that the ownership of all studies,
data sheets, survey notes, subsoil information, drawings, tracings, estimates, specifications,
proposals, diagrams, calculations, EDM and other material prepared or collected by the
Consultant, hereafter referred to as "instruments of professional service", shall become the
property of the City as they are prepared and/or developed during execution of the Contract.
The Consultant agrees to allow the City access to all “instruments of professional service” at
any time. The Consultant shall not copyright any material originating under the Contract
without prior written approval of the City. No publications or publicity of the work, in part or
in total, shall be made without the express written agreement of the City, except that Consultant
may in general terms use previously developed instruments of professional service to describe
its abilities for a project in promotional materials.
28. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: The Parties under the Contract hereby mutually agree that, if
patentable discoveries or inventions should result from work performed by the Consultants
under the Contract, all rights accruing from such discoveries or inventions shall be the sole
property of the Consultant. The Consultant, however, agrees to and does hereby grant to the
City an irrevocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to the
manufacture, use, and disposition of any discovery or invention that may be developed as a
part of the Work under the Contract.
29. PUBLIC RECORDS: The Consultant understands that any and all records related to and
acquired by the City, whether electronic, paper, or otherwise recorded, are subject to the
Vermont Public Records Act and that the determination of how those records must be handled
Page 242 of 434
is solely within the purview of City. The Consultant shall identify all records that it considers
to be trade secrets as that term is defined by subsection 317(c)(9) of the Vermont Public
Records Act and shall also identify all other records it considers to be exempt under the Act.
It is not sufficient to merely state generally that the record is proprietary or a trade secret or is
otherwise exempt. Particular records, pages or section which are believed to be exempt must
be specifically identified as such and must be separated from other records with a convincing
explanation and rationale sufficient to justify each exemption from release consistent with
Section 317 of Title 1 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated.
30. RECORDS RETENTION AND ACCESS: The Consultant agrees to retain, in its files, and
to produce to the City—within the time periods requested—all books, documents, Electronic
Data Media (EDM), accounting records, and other records produced or acquired by the
Consultant in the performance of this Contract which are related to the City, at any time during
this Contract and for a period of at least three (3) years after its completion or termination. In
addition, if any audit, claim, or litigation is commenced before the expiration of that three (3)
year period, the records shall be retained until all related audits, claims, or litigation are
resolved. The Consultant further agrees that the City shall have access to all the above
information for the purpose of review and audit during the Contract period and anytime within
the aforementioned retention period. Copies of all of the above referenced information shall
be provided to the City, if requested, in the format in which the records were obtained, created,
or maintained, such that their original use and purpose can be achieved. Consultant, sub-
consultants, or their representatives performing work related to the Contract, are responsible to
ensure that all data and information created or stored on EDM is secure and can be duplicated
and used if the EDM mechanism is subjected to power outage, obsolescence, or damage.
31. CONTRACT DISPUTES: In the event of a dispute between the parties to this Contract each
party will continue to perform its obligations unless the Contract is terminated in accordance
with these terms.
32. SETTLEMENTS OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Neither Party shall file any litigation
arising from this Contract without first attempting in good faith to resolve the Parties’ dispute
through negotiated settlement or mediation; provided, however, that any applicable statute of
limitations shall toll during any period in which the Parties are actively and mutually engaged
in dispute resolution; and provided further that nothing herein shall prevent either Party from
seeking emergency relief in appropriate circumstances from a court of competent jurisdiction.
33. CITY'S OPTION TO TERMINATE: The Contract may be terminated in accordance with
the following provisions, which are not exclusive:
A. Termination for Convenience: At any time prior to completion of services specified under
the Contract, the City may terminate the Contract for any reason by submitting written
notice via certified or registered mail to the Consultant, not less than fifteen (15) days prior
to the termination date, of its intention to do so. If the termination is for the City’s
convenience, payment to the Consultant will be made promptly for the amount of any fees
earned to the date of the notice of termination and costs of materials obtained in preparation
for Work but not yet installed or delivered, less any payments previously made. However,
Page 243 of 434
if a notice of termination is given to a Consultant prior to completion of twenty (20) percent
of the estimated services, as set forth in the approved Work Schedule and Progress Report,
the Consultant will be reimbursed for that portion of any reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred to date of the notice of termination that are in excess of the amount
earned under its approved fee to the date of said termination. Such requests for
reimbursement shall be supported with factual data and shall be subject to the City’s
approval. The Consultant shall make no claim for additional compensation against the City
by reason of such termination.
B. Termination for Cause:
i. Breach: Consultant shall be in default if Consultant fails in any manner to fully
perform and carry out each and all conditions of this Contract, including, but not
limited to, Consultant’s failure to begin or to prosecute the Work in a timely manner
or to make progress as to endanger performance of this Contract; failure to supply a
sufficient number of properly skilled employees or a sufficient quantity of materials
of proper quality; failure to perform the Work unsatisfactorily as determined by the
City; failure to neglect or refuse to remove materials; or in the event of a breach of
warranty with respect to any materials, workmanship, or performance guaranty.
Consultant will not be in default for any excusable delays as provided in Sections 19-
21.
The City may give Consultant written notice of such default. If Consultant does not
cure such default or provide a plan to cure such default which is acceptable to the
City within the time permitted by the City, then the City may terminate this contract
for cause.
ii. Proceedings for Relief of Debtors: If a federal or state proceeding for relief of debtors is
undertaken by or against Consultant, or if Consultant makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, then the City may immediately terminate this contract.
iii. Dishonest Conduct: If Consultant engages in any dishonest conduct related to the
performance or administration of this Contract then the City may immediately terminate
this contract.
iv. Cover: In the event the City terminates this contract as provided in this section, the City
may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as the City may deem appropriate,
services similar in scope and level of effort to those so terminated, and Consultant shall
be liable to the City for all of its costs and damages, including, but not limited to, any
excess costs for such services, interest, or other charges the City incurs to cover.
Page 244 of 434
v. Rights and Remedies Not Exclusive: The rights and remedies of the City provided in this
section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or under this Contract.
34. GENERAL COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS: The Consultant and any subconsultant
approved under this Contract shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws,
including but not limited to the Burlington Livable Wage Ordinance, the Non-Outsourcing
Ordinance, and the Union-Deterrence Ordinance and shall provide the required certifications
attesting to compliance with these ordinances (see attached ordinances and certifications).
Provisions of the Contract shall be interpreted and implemented in a manner consistent with
each other and using procedures that will achieve the intent of both Parties. If, for any reason,
a provision in the Contract is unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be deemed severed
from the Contract, and the remaining provisions shall be carried out with the same force and
effect as if the severed provisions had never been a part of the Contract.
35. CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: During performance
of the Contract, the Consultant will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of religious affiliation, race, color, national origin, place of birth,
ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, veteran status, disability,
HIV positive status, crime victim status, or genetic information. Consultant, and any
subconsultants, shall comply with any Federal, State, or local law, statute, regulation,

concerning equal employment, fair employment practices, affirmative action, or prohibitions
on discrimination or harassment in employment.

date of signing the Contract, that the Consultant (a) is not under an obligation to pay child
support; or (b) is under such an obligation and is in good standing with respect to that
obligation; or (c) has agreed to a payment plan with the Vermont Office of Child Support

donation of substantial value to any elected official, officer, employee, or agent of the City
during the term of this Contract.
39. ASSIGNMENT: Consultant shall not sublet or assign this Work, or any part of it, without the
written consent of the City. If any subconsultant is approved, Consultant shall be responsible
Page 245 of 434

interest in the work, covered by this Contract, without prior written consent of the City, and
further, if any sub-consultant participates in any work involving additional services, the

City. The approval or consent to assign or sublet any portion of the work, shall in no way
relieve the Consultant of responsibility for the performance of that portion of the work so
transferred. The form of the sub-consultant’s contract shall be as developed by the Consultant
and approved by the City. The Consultant shall ensure that insurance coverage exists for any
operations to be performed by any sub-consultant as specified in the insurance requirements

without written authorization of the City. Any authorized sub-contracts shall contain all of the
same provisions contained in and attached to the original Contract with the City.

determines that the Consultant is unable to satisfactorily execute the Contract.

interpreted and implemented in a manner consistent with each other and using procedures that
will achieve the intent of both Parties.

independent capacity and not as officers or employees of the City. To that end, the Consultant
shall determine the method, details, and means of performing the work, but will comply with all
legal requirements in doing so. The Consultant shall provide its own tools, materials, or
equipment. The Parties agree that neither the Consultant nor its principal(s) or employees are

and effect, provided that the Parties can continue to perform their obligations under this
Contract in accordance with the intent of this Contract.

agreement, and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Contract.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the City and its officers and employees from liability and claims, suits, fines, penalties, expenses

Page 310 of 434
labor contract, and need not be receipted. All other expenses are subject to approval by the City
and must be accompanied by documentation to substantiate their charges.
No approval given or payment made under the Contract shall be conclusive evidence of the
performance of the Contract, either wholly or in part, and no payment shall be construed to be
acceptance of defective work or improper materials.
The City agrees to pay the Contractor and the Contractor agrees to accept as full compensation,
for performance of all services rendered and expenses encompassed in conformance therewith,
the fee specified in the Contract.
16. DUTY TO INFORM CITY OF CONTRACT DOCUMENT ERRORS: If Contractor
knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a clearly identifiable error or omission exists in
the Contract Documents, including but not limited to unit prices and rate calculations,
Contractor shall immediately give the City written notice thereof. Contractor shall not cause
or permit any Work to be conducted which may relate to the error or omission without first
receiving written notice by the City that City representatives understand the possible error or
omission and have approved of modifications to the Contract Documents or that Contractor
may proceed without any modification being made to Contract Documents.
17. NON-APPROPRIATION: The obligations of the City under this Contract are subject to
annual appropriation by the Burlington City Council. If no funds or insufficient funds are
appropriated or budgeted to support continuation of payments due under this Contract, the
Contract shall terminate automatically on the first day of the fiscal year for which funds have
not been appropriated. The Parties understand and agree that the obligations of the City to
make payments under this Contract shall constitute a current expense of the City and shall not
be construed to be a debt or a pledge of the credit of the City. The decision whether or not to
budget and appropriate funds during each fiscal year of the City is within the discretion of the
Mayor and City Council of the City. The City shall deliver written notice to Contractor as
soon as practicable of any non-appropriation, and Contract Contractor shall not be entitled to
any payment or compensation of any kind for work performed after the City has delivered
written notice of non-appropriation.
18. CHANGE ORDERS & AMENDMENTS: No changes or amendments to the Contract shall
be effective unless documented in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the City
and the Contractor. All changes affecting the Project's construction cost, length of time, or
modifications of the terms or conditions of the Contract, must be authorized by means of a
written Contract Change Order which is mutually agreed to by the City and Contractor. The
Contract Change Order will include extra Work, Work for which quantities have been altered
from those shown in the Bid Schedule, as well as decreases or increases in the quantities of
installed units from those shown in the Bid Schedule because of final measurements. All
changes must be recorded on a Contract Change Order (which form is part of these Contract
Documents) and fully executed before they can be included in a partial payment estimate.
Changes for Work, quantities, and/or conditions will include any respective time adjustment,
if justified. Time adjustments will require an updated Project Schedule with the Change Order.
Page 311 of 434
19. EXTENSION OF TIME: The Contractor agrees to prosecute the work continuously and
diligently, and no charges or claims for damages shall be made by the Contractor for delays or
hindrances, from any cause whatsoever, during the progress of any portion of services specified
in the Contract. The Contractor may request an extension of time for such delays or hindrances,
if any.
Time extensions may be granted by amendment only for excusable delays, such as delays
beyond the control of the Contractor and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.
The City may suspend the work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety
(90) days at its discretion or such further time as agreed by the Contractor. The Contractor
will be allowed an extension of contract time directly attributable to any suspension.
20. PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY:
A. Compliance with Mandates and Guidance: The Contractor is advised that public health
emergencies—meaning public health emergencies, as declared by the City, the State of
Vermont, or the Federal Government—may introduce significant uncertainty into the
project. The Contractor must comply with all local, state, federal orders, directives,
regulations, guidance, advisories during a public health emergency. Contractor shall
adhere to the below provisions and consider public health emergencies as it develops
project schedules and advances the Work.
B. Creation of Public Health Emergency Plan: For any work performed on-site at a City
location, the Contractor shall create a public health emergency plan acceptable to the City.
The Contractor shall be responsible for following this plan and ensuring that the project or
site is stable and in a safe and maintainable condition.
a. Public Health Emergency Plan: The Public Health Emergency Plan will contain:
i. Measures to manage risk and mitigate potential impacts to the health and safety
of the public, the City and Contractor’s workers;
ii. Explicit reference to any health and safety performance standards and
mandates provided by the City, the State of Vermont, the Federal government,
or other relevant governmental entities;
iii. A schedule for possible updates to the plan as standards and mandates change;
and
iv. Means to adjust the schedule and sequence of work should the emergency
change in nature or duration.
b. Review and Acceptance of Plan:
i. Contractor must provide the plan to the City by the Effective Date of this
Contract or by one (1) week prior to the commencement of on-site activities,
whichever is later.
ii. The City shall have sole discretion to require changes to the plan.
Page 312 of 434
iii. The City may revisit the plan at any time to verify compliance with obligations
that arise under a state of emergency.
C. Enforcement & Stoppage of Work: Contractor fails to comply with either 1) the approved
public health emergency plan, or 2) any local, state, federal orders, directives, regulations,
guidance, or advisories during a public health emergency, the City may stop Work under
the Contract until such failure is corrected. Such failure to comply shall constitute a breach
of the Contract.
Upon stoppage of work, the City may allow Work to resume, at a time determined by the
City, under this Contract if such failure to comply is adequately corrected. The City shall
have sole discretion in determining if Contractor has adequately corrected its failure to
comply with the above.
If Contractor’s breach of Contract has not been cured within seven (7) days after notice to
stop Work from the City, then City may terminate this Contract, at its discretion.
D. City Liability Relating to Potential Delays: If a public health emergency is declared, the
City will not be responsible for any delays related to the sequence of operations or any
expenses or losses incurred as a result of any delays. Any delays related to a public health
emergency will be excusable, but will not be compensable.
21. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither Party to this Contract shall be liable to the other for any
failure or delay of performance of any obligation under this Contract to the extent the failure
or delay is caused by acts of God, public health emergencies, epidemics, acts of the public
enemy, acts of superior governmental authority, weather conditions, riots, rebellion,
sabotage, or any other circumstances for which it is not responsible or which is not under its
control (“Force Majeure”). To assert Force Majeure, the nonperforming party must prove
that a) it made all reasonable efforts to remove, eliminate, or minimize the cause of delay or
damage, b) diligently pursued performance of its obligations, c) substantially fulfilled all
obligations that could be fulfilled, and d) timely notified the other part of the likelihood or
actual occurrence of a Force Majeure event. If any such causes for delay are of such
magnitude as to prevent the complete performance of the Contract within two (2) years of the
originally scheduled completion date, either Party may by written notice request to amend or
terminate the Contract. The suspension of any obligations under this section shall not cause
the term of this Contract to be extended and shall not affect any rights accrued under this
Contract prior to the occurrence of the Force Majeure. The Party giving notice of the Force
Majeure shall also give notice of its cessation.
22. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK, ADDITIONAL SERVICES OR CHANGES: The City
may, in writing, require or agree to changes, or additions to or deletions from the originally
contemplated scope of work.
Page 313 of 434
The value of such changes, to the extent not reflected in other payments to the Contractor, shall
be incorporated in an amendment and be determined by mutual agreement, by one or more of the
following:
1. Fixed Price. By a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the
Contractor’s expenses experienced in performing the work. The Contractor is fully
responsible for all costs and resulting profit or loss.
2. Rate Schedule. By unit prices designated in the Contract, or by unit prices covered under
any subsequent contracts.
3. Actual Cost. By amounts determined on the basis of actual costs incurred, as
distinguished from forecasted expenditures.
No changes for which additional fee payment is claimed shall be made unless pursuant to a written
order from the City, and no claim for payment shall be valid unless so ordered.
The Contractor agrees to maintain complete and accurate records of all change work, in a form
satisfactory to the City. The City reserves the right to audit the records of the Contractor related
to any extra work or additional services. Any such services rendered shall be subject, in all other
respects, to the terms of the Contract. When changes are so ordered, no additional work shall be
performed by the Contractor until a Contract amendment has been fully executed, unless written
notice to proceed is issued by the City. Any claim for extension of time that may be necessitated
as a result of extra work or additional services and changes shall be given consideration and
evaluated insofar as it directly relates to the change.
23. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH TIME SCHEDULE: If the City is dissatisfied because of
slow progress or incompetence in the performance of the Work in accordance with the schedule
for completion of the various aspects of construction, the City shall give the Contractor written
notice in which the City shall specify in detail the cause of dissatisfaction. Should the
Contractor fail or refuse to remedy the matters complained of within five days after the written
notice is received by the Contractor, the City shall have the right to take control of the Work
and either make good the deficiencies of the Contractor itself or direct the activities of the
Contractor in doing so, employing such additional help as the City deems advisable. In such
events, the City shall be entitled to collect from the Contractor any expenses in completing the
Work. In addition, the City may withhold from the amount payable to the Contractor an
amount approximately equal to any interest lost or charges incurred by the City for each
calendar day that the Contractor is in default after the time of completion stipulated in the
Contract Documents.
24. RETURN OF MATERIALS: Contractor agrees that at the expiration or termination of this
Contract, it shall return to City all materials provided to it during its engagement on behalf of
City.
25. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT; RELEASE: Contractor’s acceptance of the final
payment shall be a release in full of all claims against the City or its agents arising out of or by
Page 314 of 434
reason of the Work. Any payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not release the Contractor
or its sureties from any obligations under the Contract Documents or any performance or
payment bond.
26. OWNERSHIP OF THE WORK: The Contractor agrees that the ownership of all studies,
data sheets, survey notes, subsoil information, drawings, tracings, estimates, specifications,
proposals, diagrams, calculations, EDM and other material prepared or collected by the
Contractor, hereafter referred to as "instruments of professional service", shall become the
property of the City as they are prepared and/or developed in the course of the Contract. The
Contractor agrees to allow the City access to all “instruments of professional service” at any
time. The Contractor shall not copyright any material originating under the Contract without
prior written approval of the City. No publications or publicity of the work, in part or in total,
shall be made without the express written agreement of the City, except that Contractor may in
general terms use previously developed instruments of professional service to describe its
abilities for a project in promotional materials.
27. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: The Parties under the Contract hereby mutually agree that, if
patentable discoveries or inventions should result from work performed by the Contractor
under the Contract, all rights accruing from such discoveries or inventions shall be the sole
property of the Contractor. The Contractor, however, agrees to and does hereby grant to the
City an irrevocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to the
manufacture, use, and disposition of any discovery or invention that may be developed as a
part of the Work under the Contract.
28. PUBLIC RECORDS: The Contractor understands that any and all records related to and
acquired by the City, whether electronic, paper, or otherwise recorded, are subject to the
Vermont Public Records Act and that the determination of how those records must be handled
is solely within the purview of City. The Contractor shall identify all records that it considers
to be trade secrets as that term is defined by subsection 317(c)(9) of the Vermont Public
Records Act and shall also identify all other records it considers to be exempt under the Act.
It is not sufficient to merely state generally that the record is proprietary or a trade secret or is
otherwise exempt. Particular records, pages or section which are believed to be exempt must
be specifically identified as such and must be separated from other records with a convincing
explanation and rationale sufficient to justify each exemption from release consistent with
Section 317 of Title 1 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated.
29. RECORDS RETENTION AND ACCESS: The Contractor agrees to retain, in its files, and
to produce to the City—within the time periods requested—all books, documents, electronic
data media (EDM), accounting records, and other records produced or acquired by the
Contractor in the performance of this Contract which are related to the City, at any time during
this Contract and for a period of at least three (3) years after its completion or termination. In
addition, if any audit, claim, or litigation is commenced before the expiration of that three (3)
year period, the records shall be retained until all related audits, claims, or litigation are
resolved. The Contractor further agrees that the City shall have access to all the above
information for the purpose of review and audit during the Contract period and any time within
the aforementioned retention period. Copies of all of the above referenced information shall
Page 315 of 434
be provided to the City, if requested, in the format in which the records were obtained, created,
or maintained, such that their original use and purpose can be achieved. Contractor,
subcontractors, or their representatives performing work related to the Contract, are responsible
to ensure that all data and information created or stored on EDM is secure and can be duplicated
and used if the EDM mechanism is subjected to power outage, obsolescence, or damage.
30. WARRANTY: In addition to any warranty provided by the manufacturer or distributor,
Contractor guarantees the Work performed, and all materials or equipment furnished, to be
free from defects in material and workmanship for a minimum period of one (1) year from the
date of the City’s acceptance of completion. The Contractor’s warranty is not intended and
shall not be interpreted as a limitation upon the City’s rights or a waiver of manufacturer and
distributor warranties, any subcontractor warranties, or any other warranties provided in
connection with the Work.
Contractor, at its own expense, shall make any repairs, or replacement necessary to correct
these defects to the satisfaction of the City.
This warranty of material and workmanship applies only:
1. To the property only as long as it remains in the possession of the City.
2. To the Work that has not been subject to accident, misuse, or abuse by someone other
than the Contractor.
3. To the Work that has not been modified, altered, defaced, or had repairs made or
attempted by someone other than the Contractor.
4. If the Contractor is immediately notified in writing within ten (10) days of first
knowledge of the defect by the City.
5. If the Contractor is given the first opportunity to make any repairs, replacements, or
corrections to the defective construction at no cost to the City within a reasonable
period of time.
Under no circumstances shall Contractor be liable by virtue of this warranty or otherwise for
damage to any person or property whatsoever for any special, indirect, secondary or
consequential damages of any nature however arising out of the use or inability to use because
of the construction defect.
If the Contractor is unable, after receipt of two (2) written notices given to Contractor by the
City, to successfully repair or replace the labor, equipment, or materials within six (6) months
of the second notice, then the District's repair and replace warranty shall be deemed to have
failed and the City's rights and remedies shall not be limited by the provisions of this section.
31. CONTRACT DISPUTES: In the event of a dispute between the parties to this Contract, each
party will continue to perform its obligations unless the Contract is terminated in accordance
Page 316 of 434
with these terms.
32. SETTLEMENTS OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Neither Party shall file any litigation
arising from this Contract without first attempting in good faith to resolve the Parties’ dispute
through negotiated settlement or mediation; provided, however, that any applicable statute of
limitations shall toll during any period in which the Parties are actively and mutually engaged
in dispute resolution; and provided further that nothing herein shall prevent either Party from
seeking emergency relief in appropriate circumstances from a court of competent jurisdiction.
33. CITY'S OPTION TO TERMINATE: The Contract may be terminated in accordance with
the following provisions, which are not exclusive:
A. Termination for Convenience: At any time prior to completion of services specified under
the Contract, the City may terminate the Contract for any reason by submitting written
notice via certified or registered mail to the Contractor, not less than fifteen (15) days prior
to the termination date, of its intention to do so. If the termination is for the City’s
convenience, payment to the Contractor will be made promptly for the amount of any fees
earned to the date of the notice of termination and costs of materials obtained in preparation
for Work but not yet installed or delivered, less any payments previously made. However,
if a notice of termination is given to a Contractor prior to completion of twenty (20) percent
of the estimated services, as set forth in the approved Work Schedule and Progress Report,
the Contractor will be reimbursed for that portion of any reasonable and necessary expenses
incurred to date of the notice of termination that are in excess of the amount earned under
its approved fee to the date of said termination. Such requests for reimbursement shall be
supported with factual data and shall be subject to the City’s approval. The Contractor
shall make no claim for additional compensation against the City by reason of such
termination.
B. Termination for Cause:
i. Breach: Contractor shall be in default if Contractor fails in any manner to fully
perform and carry out each and all conditions of this Contract, including, but
not limited to, Contractor’s failure to begin or to prosecute the Work in a timely
manner or to make progress as to endanger performance of this Contract;
failure to supply a sufficient number of properly skilled employees or a
sufficient quantity of materials of proper quality; failure to perform the Work
unsatisfactorily as determined by the City; failure to neglect or refuse to
remove materials; or in the event of a breach of warranty with respect to any
materials, workmanship, or performance guaranty. Contractor will not be in
default for any excusable delays as provided in Sections 18-20.
The City may give Contractor written notice of such default. If Contractor
does not cure such default or provide a plan to cure such default which is
acceptable to the City within the time permitted by the City, then the City
may terminate this contract for cause.
Page 317 of 434
ii. Dishonest Conduct: If Contractor engages in any dishonest conduct related to
the performance or administration of this Contract then the City may

deem appropriate, services similar in scope and level of effort to those so

damages, including, but not limited to, any excess costs for such services,

35. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall comply with all pertinent provisions of
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and any VOSHA (Vermont
OSHA) Safety and Health requirements, including the provision and use of appropriate safety
equipment and practices.

of Contractor’s or its subcontractors’ plant, appliances, equipment, vehicles, and methods, and
for any damages, which may result from their failure or their improper construction,
maintenance or operation.
36. CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: During performance
of the Contract, the Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of religious affiliation, race, color, national origin, place of birth,
ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, veteran status, disability,
HIV positive status, crime victim status, or genetic information. Contractor, and any
subcontractors, shall comply with any Federal, State, or local law, statute, regulation, executive
order, or rule that applies to it or the services to be provided under this contract concerning

during the term of this Contract.
40. ASSIGNMENT: Contractor shall not sublet or assign this Work, or any part of it, without the
written consent of the City. If any subcontractor is approved, Contractor shall be responsible
and liable for all acts or omissions of that subcontractor for any Work performed. If any
subcontractor is approved, Contractor shall be responsible to ensure that the subcontractor is
paid as agreed and that no lien is placed on any City property.
41. TRANSFERS, SUBLETTING, ASSIGNMENTS, ETC: Contractor shall not assign, sublet,
or transfer any interest in the work, covered by this Contract, without prior written consent of
the City and further, if any subcontractor participates in any work involving additional services,

the City. The approval or consent to assign or sublet any portion of the work, shall in no way
relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the performance of that portion of the work so
transferred. The form of the subcontractor’s contract shall be as developed by the Contractor
and approved by the City. The Contractor shall ensure that insurance coverage exists for any
operations to be performed by any subcontractor as specified in the insurance requirements
section of this Contract.

without written authorization of the City. Any authorized sub-contracts shall contain all of the
same provisions contained in and attached to the original Contract with the City.
42. CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS: The Contractor agrees that if because of death, disability,
or other occurrences, it becomes impossible to effectively perform its services in compliance
with the Contract, neither the Contractor nor its surviving members shall be relieved of their
obligations to complete the Contract unless the City agrees to terminate the Contract because it
determines that the Contractor is unable to satisfactorily execute the Contract.
43. INTERPRETATION & IMPLEMENTATION: Provisions of the Contract shall be
interpreted and implemented in a manner consistent with each other and using procedures that
will achieve the intent of both Parties.

independent capacity and not as officers or employees of the City. To that end, the Contractor
shall determine the method, details, and means of performing the work, but will comply with all
legal requirements in doing so. The Contractor shall provide its own tools, materials, or
equipment. The Parties agree that neither the Contractor nor its principal(s) or employees are

applied in the interpretation, execution, and enforcement of this Contract, notwithstanding
conflicts of law principles. Any provision included or incorporated herein by reference which
conflicts with said laws, rules, and regulations shall be null and void. Any provision rendered

held in the State of Vermont, notwithstanding any other law.
48. BINDING EFFECT AND CONTINUITY: This Contract shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Parties, their’ respective heirs, successors, representatives, and
assigns. If a dispute arises between the Parties, each Party will continue to perform its
obligations under this Contract during the resolution of the dispute, until the Contract is
terminated in accordance with its terms.
49. SEVERABILITY: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Contract or the
Contract Documents shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, which
shall remain in full force and effect, provided that the Parties can continue to perform their
obligations under this Contract in accordance with the intent of this Contract.
50. ENTIRE CONTRACT & AGREEMENT: This Contract, including the Contract
Documents, constitutes the entire Contract, agreement, and understanding of the Parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Contract. Prior or contemporaneous additions, deletions,
or other changes to this Contract shall not have any force or effect whatsoever, unless embodied
herein.
Page 320 of 434
51. APPENDICES: The City may attach, to these specifications, appendices containing various
forms and typical sample sheets for guidance and assistance to the Contractor in the
performance of the work. It is understood, however, that such forms and samples may be
modified, altered, and augmented from time to time by the City as occasions may require. It
is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that they have the latest versions applicable to
the Contract.
52. N O THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES: This Contract does not and is not intended to
confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the Parties. Enforcement of
this Contract and all rights and obligations hereunder are reserved solely to the Parties. Any
services or benefits which third parties receive as a result of this Contract are incidental to this
Contract, and do not create any rights for such third parties.
53. WAIVER: Notwithstanding the passage of time, a Party’s failure or delay in exercising any
right, power, or privilege under this Contract, whether explicit or by lack of enforcement, shall
not operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege.

Re: ONE Cleanup/Cleanout Proposal
Date: May 5, 2026
This is to request $6,500 in Council Initiative Funds to pay for an Old North End
Cleanup/Cleanout Day on Saturday, May 30th, 2026, sponsored by the ONE’s city councilors,
Bergman, Grant, and Sanchez-Parkinson. The department of Public Works is supporting the
event.
The funds will go to pay for:
Two Myers’ 30-yard roll-offs
Two small DPW dump trucks
Fees for weekend service and over one ton allowance
Staff for drop off and pick up and disposal
Publicity (door-to-door flyers and a few signs), Front Porch Forum ads
Water and snacks, other refreshments
Supplies for volunteers and limited paid organizing assistance and coordination.
The purpose is to provide O.N.E. residents with two centrally located roll offs and other facilities
to dispose of household goods and other solid waste from homes, yards, city streets, sidewalks,
and greenbelts. O.N.E. councilors conducted this event in the past, the last time being in 2024. It
was beneficial to residents, especially those who do not have vehicles. The O.N.E. was greened
up. It built a greater sense of community. It improved community confidence in the ability of our
local government to address resident needs.
The day would begin for the public at 10 a.m. and end at 2:30 p.m., with set up from 9-10 and
breakdown from 2:30-3:30. There are two sites: (1) the Sustainability Academy on North St. and
(2) the Integrated Arts Academy on Archibald, St. We will work with the schools on the exact
locations.
Besides the roll-offs, there will be small dump trucks for metal recycling, recycling toters, and
sharps containers. Volunteers will be provided with heavy duty trash bags and gloves for litter
pickup. Water and refreshments will be available. There will be publicity. Councilors will utilize
a limited amount of paid assistance in the organizing of the event.
The estimated cost for the roll-offs is $4,500. The estimated cost for the DPW dump trucks and
staff time is $1,000. The estimated cost for publicity, supplies, and staff time is $1,000 for a total
of $6,500.

Re: Response to Letter from Christine Hughes, Director of Richard Kemp Center and Funding
Recommendation
This memorandum outlines the City’s response to the August 2025 letter sent to Board of Finance from
Christine Hughes, Director of the Richard Kemp Center, inquiring about City funds believed to have been
promised to the Richard Kemp Center as part of the 2020 Racial Justice Resolution, as well as a request
for understanding how REIB funding has been utilized over the last 5 years. It also proposes a funding
recommendation from the City of Burlington to the Richard Kemp Center in FY27 and FY28.
Background
Reinvestment of City Resources
The 2020 Racial Justice Resolution called for the reallocation of general fund dollars from the reduction,
through attrition, of sworn officer numbers toward social services and social, racial, and economic
justice initiatives. This included four funding initiatives: a community-based cultural empowerment
center (believed to have been the Richard Kemp Center, which was in development and unnamed at the
time of the resolution); a capital access program; a minority-owned business municipal procurement
program; and operational capacity for REIB staffing. The attrition of BPD officers outpaced budget
projections in the subsequent fiscal year, resulting in zero savings to reinvest towards the Resolution.
Community Cultural Empowerment Center Funding - REIB continues to work with community centers
and groups to sponsor cultural events and programs. This table shows the specifics of how the City has
spent money in this area over time.
Name of Center FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 Total to Date
Congolese Community $5,000 $13,000 $15,000 $33,000
of Vermont
Somali Bantu $35,000 $1,000 $36,000
Association of Vermont
Greater Burlington $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $25,000
Multicultural Center
Racial Justice Center dba $2,500 $2,500
Richard Kemp Center
Total $96,500
Page 340 of 434
Capital Access Program
The capital access funding program is the Empowerment Fund, which was placed into REIB’s budget and
managed by REIB staff. This fund has granted out $380,000 to organizations, businesses, and individuals
that are elevating and empowering black and brown community efforts. This funding has supported
Black History Month, MLK Day, free legal aid for marginalized communities, immigrant and refugee
children’s programs, and culturally sustainable food growing programs.
Minority-Owned business municipal procurement program and other economic justice initiatives
REIB hired Phet Keomanyvanh as the Economic Analyst in 2022 to work with the Clerk Treasurer’s Office
to develop a minority-owned procurement program. Due to leadership and staffing changes in REIB, this
work was delayed.
The current administration is advancing this initiative by requiring the City to develop a list of minority-
owned contractors to notify when City RFPs are posted. As well, the Business and Workforce
Development (BWD), a Division of CEDO, offers the Micro Enterprise Technical Assistance Program to
support businesses with marketing, business start-up, business growth, finding space, and trainings. In
FY24, BWD provided in-depth assistance to 29 businesses. 52% of these businesses identified as BIPOC-
owned businesses, and 80% of beneficiaries identified as low- to moderate-income (under 80% of
median income). BWD also launched two revolving loan fund programs in 2023 whose primary objective
was to support locally owned businesses and industries that were impacted or disproportionally
impacted by COVID-19, with particular focus on BIPOC, women-owned, and other underserved
businesses.
Since inception of the revolving loan programs in April of 2023, 32 loans have been disbursed for a total
of $633,000. 63% of loan recipients are BIPOC, and 50% are women-owned businesses. In 2025, 6 loans
were dispersed for $101,000. 67% of loan recipients identify as BIPOC, and 33% identify as woman. The
larger loan program was on pause for much of 2025, as CEDO waited for loan repayments to replenish
the fund before re-opening the program. Both BWD programs are no-interest and Sharia law compliant.
The funding for these programs was originally from ARPA, but the programs are perpetual as this is a
fund replenished from loan repayments.
In the summer of 2024, BWD also launched the Food Cart Incubator Program, a pilot program that
supported three BIPOC food vendors with a food cart and spot on Church Street. Each summer on
Saturdays around City Hall Park, BWD and BCA’s BTV Market also hosts a diverse group of over 100 local
vendors from artists, makers, and artisans. The BTV Market has focused on recruiting more BIPOC
vendors over the years. In 2022 the BTV Market was comprised of 27% of BIPOC vendors and saw an
increase in 2023 to 28% and in 2024 to 29%. In May 2023, the City Council approved the installation of a
Kiosk in City Hall Park that was part of the original park design. This project was made possible by ARPA
Infrastructure Investment funding. Himalayan D’lite was chosen to run the Kiosk and is a local family and
minority-owned business.

Operational capacity for REIB
The City of Burlington created the Office of Racial Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (REIB) in 2019 and
hired Tyeastia Green, its first full-time staff member and Director in March 2020. Amidst nationwide
protests in defense of Black Lives and the uneven impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on BIPOC
communities, the City allocated $1M to the Racial Justice Fund of the City's FY21 annual budget,
$338,395 of which went to support the FY21 REIB budget. The REIB department budget for FY22 was
$1.7M, with final expenditures totaling approximately $2M. In FY23 the department had a $1.8M budget
of which $1.2M came from ARPA funds. The Weinberger administration proposed a plan for FY24 to
spend an additional $800K of ARPA for REIB as a transition strategy to identify alternative funding
sources for the department, including an Equity Tax. In the end, the Weinberger administration decided
to forego the Equity Tax and REIB remained ARPA-funded. REIB’s FY25 and 26 budgets are smaller than
previous years, but in FY25, Mayor Mulvaney-Stanak specifically directed REIB to be funded by the
General Fund, a move away from funding REIB with one-time monies.
REIB Financial Information FY21-25 Over the course of REIB’s existence, the City of Burlington has spent
a total of $1,034,395 through the Fund for Racial Justice: $338,395 in FY21, $432,000 in FY22, and
$264,000 in FY25. These funds were used to fund the work of the City’s REIB Department and spent

Moving Forward—Recommendation for Funding to the Richard Kemp Center
In an August 2025 communication to the Board of Finance, Christine Hughes provided documentation
that in FY21, $200,000 of the REIB budget was earmarked for the following: Racial Justice Alliance
consulting ($50,000), a racial justice strategic planner ($50,000), reparations consultants ($50,000), and
a feasibility study for a cultural empowerment center ($50,000). Of these funds, only the monies for the
racial justice strategic planner were spent.
As noted in the information above regarding “cultural empowerment center” funding, the Richard Kemp
Center has only received $2500 to date for this purpose through REIB. The Richard Kemp Center is the
only cultural empowerment center in Burlington that centers the lived experiences of Black American
descendants of chattel slavery. The 2020 Racial Justice Resolution was created in the wake of George
Floyd and the COVID-19 pandemic to actualize Burlington’s commitment to improving the quality of life
for Black Americans specifically, which we know would improve the overall health and well-being of our
entire community.
Because the Richard Kemp Center was actualized without having received any significant funding from
the City of Burlington and is directly serving the segment of our local population who were centered in
the 2020 Resolution, the City should allocate funding to the Richard Kemp Center—the $50,000 that was
earmarked and never spent for a feasibility study for the creation of a cultural empowerment center.
Given the City’s current financial reality, this funding will be included in and split between the FY27 and
FY28 Office of Racial Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Community Celebrations budget at $25,000 each
fiscal year.
Motions:
The Office of Racial Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging requests the Board of Finance and City Council
approve the following motions:
1. Board of Finance Motion:
Move to approve and authorize Kelli Perkins, Director of the REIB Office to designate funds in an
amount not to exceed $50,000.00 of the REIB budget for dispersal to the Richard Kemp Center,
$25,000.00 of which will be dispersed in fiscal year 2027 and another $25,000.00 in fiscal year
2028 subject to final review and approval of the Chief Administrative Officer as well as the Office
of the City Attorney.

Subject: Water Resources Metering Services Personnel Reorganization
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Water Resources Division (WRD) of the Department of Public Works (DPW) requests Board of Finance and
City Council approval for a variety of organizational changes related to the WRD Metering Services workgroup.
These include:
1. Tiering of the Water Meter Field Technician (AFSCME Grade 15) to Water Meter Field Technician In
Training (IT)/I/II (AFSCME Grade 14/15/16);
2. Reclassification of one (1) vacant Meter to Cash Analyst I/II (AFSCME Grade 16/17) position to a Water
Meter Field Technician IT/I/II (tiered) (AFSCME Grade 14/15/16) and reorganization of the position to
report to the Director of Finance and Administration;
3. Reclassification and retitling of the Water Meter Working Foreperson (AFSCME Grade 16) to Metering
Operations Lead (AFSCME Grade 19).
Additional details are provided below in the background.
Funds for these organizational changes are available now (FY26) due to savings from the several month vacancy in
the Meter to Cash Analyst position. On-going funding for these changes are included in the proposed FY27
Drinking Water and Wastewater budgets.
BACKGROUND
Over the last several years, WRD has made incremental and targeted adjustments to its staffing resources and
structure to build a resilient and sustainable organization. This has been critical to improving our meter to cash
and revenue assurance processes, along with increasing the day-to-day team leadership for our Customer Care
and Billing teams. However, a new reality has emerged that presents an on-going challenge to the success of our
Metering Services, and ultimately our ability to recover the full revenue warranted by all of our customers’ usage.
1. In 1990, WRD began a three year initiative to replace all water meters due to age, and the availability of a
new technology that allowed meters to be read from the outside of the building instead of manually.
Water meters are mechanical devices, and their accuracy degrades over time causing flows to be under
registered and underbilled. Smaller, residential water meters are expected to maintain accuracy
standards for 15-20 years meters, and accuracy is impacted by a variety of factors including wear, water
quality, flow rates and total throughput. Until recently, there has not been a concerted effort to replace
Page 348 of 434
meters due to age, and as a result, 40% of the meters still in service were installed prior to 1993 and are
unlikely to be performing at peak accuracy.
Table 1 Meters in Service by Installation Year
2. In 2001, WRD migrated to a drive by meter reading system that utilized Radio Frequency (RF)
transmitters. The transmitters are connected to the meter and send a signal with the meter reading on a
regular schedule. These devices are battery powered and have a 10-year warranty, although they often
operate far beyond that expected useful lifespan. Table 2 illustrates the current age of our RF
transmitters, and just under 60% are out of date (V1, V2, V3 series) and will need to be replaced.
Table 2 RF Transmitters in Service by Type and Age
3. Over the past few months, the number of accounts requiring their usage to be estimated (due to RF
failure) has risen at a rate that exceeds historical norms, see monthly comparison in Table 3-1 . We can
attribute this to the age of the RF transmitters which were never expected to last this long and are now
failing at a rapid pace. Table 3-2 illustrates the failure percentage by transmitter type over the four
months compared, and as expected, the oldest transmitters account for the highest rate of failure.
Page 349 of 434
Table 3-1 Accounts Requiring Estimated Bills Table 3-2 % Failure by RF type
4. The impacts of deferred maintenance and capital reinvestment are placing an operational strain on
existing staff, delaying service response times, and elevating the risk of billing inaccuracies and customer
dissatisfaction.
5. Additionally, WRD is in the process of modernizing meter reading for the City of Burlington with
implementation of smart metering ready hardware. Currently, meters throughout the City are read once
a month and due to limitations of outdated meters, most readings can only be transmitted in 100 or 1000
cubic foot increments to WRD. These outdated meters represent 56% of the meters in service today. This
means there is a lack of granularity in the usage data, and a lag in account holders hearing about high
water usage due to persistent leaks or changes in household composition. Smart metering ready meter
systems include meters that can transmit usage in real time and down to one hundredth of a cubic foot.
Together with the fixed network receivers that are being implemented this year across the City and the
new customer portal, these modern meters will mean that customers will be able to interact with their
meter data in new ways including leak detection and other usage alerts and being able to easily pinpoint,
on their own, when higher usage may have occurred.
In our June 2024 personnel reorganization memo1 we provided detailed background regarding the staff
resourcing challenges faced by the Water Resources division. In the FY25 budget presentation2 we summarized
these challenges into 5 themes of action:
1. Incentivize staffing excellence
2. Pay commensurate with responsibility
3. Plan for organizational succession
4. Increase operational efficiencies
5. Increase/support division level leadership bandwidth
The changes described below and requested in this memo support improvements across all of these themes. The
current and proposed organizational chart is provided as Attachment A and the new job descriptions are provided

in Attachment B. All positions were graded by the Human Resources Department and approved by AFSCME
leadership.
SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES
Upward tiering of Water Meter Field Technician position (Water Meter Field Technician In Training/I/II)
Action Areas: incentivize staffing excellence; pay commensurate with responsibility; plan for organizational
succession
The Water Meter Field Technicians are the first line of defense in protecting the meter to cash cycle, and they also
act as a direct liaison between WRD and customers. They accumulate a wealth of institutional knowledge and
play a critical role in ensuring the success of our water metering systems.
Fundamentally, tiering is about more than additional responsibility and pay; it signals that WRD supports and
promotes the growth of our employees. It creates a defined career progression path which improves employee
retention and morale. It also sets clear performance expectations and encourages skill development. Three level
tiering also improves our ability to recruit potentially non-traditional new employees by providing an entry level
where on the job training is the intention instead of requiring established technical skills at time of hire. Please
see the progression matrix included in Attachment C.
The current Water Meter Field Technician is graded at AFSCME Grade 15. The Human Resources (HR) Grading
Committee graded the Water Meter Field Technician in Training as AFSCME Grade 14 and the Water Meter Field
Technician II as AFSCME Grade 16. AFSCME is supportive of this tiering.
As has been the practice with most previous tiering, an employee who meets the experience and proficiency
requirements of a tier with a higher pay grade than that which they are currently at the time of tiering in will be
placed at the higher tier and given a documented period of time to complete any additional certifications or
specific training courses. Future tiering placement will require employees to meet the entirety of the tiered
position description.
Reclassification of one (1) vacant Meter to Cash Analyst I/II position to a Water Meter Field Technician IT/I/II
(tiered) position
Action Areas: increase operational efficiencies
In 2025, we created two Meter to Cash Analyst positions as part of the redesign of our Customer Care and Billing
workgroups. This was done to provide dedicated resources for the critical QA/QC work of meter exceptions,
investigating meter and billing anomalies, and to allow Customer Care to better focus on revenue collections and
customer initiatives. This redesign has been successful with notable improvements in identifying stopped meters
earlier and more frequent outreach to customers about resolving meter problems.
One of the Meter to Cash Analyst positions has been vacant since November 2025. While it is possible this
position may need to be brought back in the future, the volume of work is currently being handled adequately by
the remaining Analyst. As such, we believe this FTE would best be repurposed into another Water Meter Field
Technician role.
As described above, our Metering Services workgroup does not have sufficient numbers to handle the volume of
site visits required for the current and anticipated levels of RF transmitter failure. Nor will we be able to mount a
Page 351 of 434
more robust meter replacement program without additional staffing. This is critical from a revenue assurance
standpoint, and the newer water meters also provide more useful data to us and customers about their usage.
The repurposing of the vacant Meter to Cash Analyst position to create the addition of another Water Meter Field
Technician FTE is a proactive investment that will allow us to improve the timely replacement and maintenance of
our failing infrastructure while building a sustainable framework for the future.
The Meter to Cash Analyst I/II is graded at AFSCME Grade 16/17. The Human Resources (HR) Grading Committee
graded the Water Meter Field Technician in Training as AFSCME Grade 14 and the Water Meter Field Technician II
as AFSCME Grade 16. The repurposing of the AFSCME Meter to Cash Analyst role into a different AFSCME FTE
was discussed with AFSCME and they are supportive.
Reclassification of the Water Meter Working Foreperson to Metering Operations Lead
Action Areas: pay commensurate with responsibility; increase/support division level leadership bandwidth;
succession planning
The changes proposed as part of the Metering Services reorganization and expansion necessitated a
reclassification of this position. The Metering Operations Lead will continue to perform all responsibilities of the
meter technicians and direct the crew’s work efforts similar to other working foreperson roles in the City, but the
job description now reflects a higher level of focus on personnel and meter to cash leadership functions. On the
personnel side, the Metering Operations Lead will be responsible for supporting the growth, performance and
productivity of employees through positive and corrective performance feedback, tracking team proficiencies and
ensuring progress towards growth benchmarks. This is designed to enhance the meter field crew’s performance
in the tiered environment and further reduce the day to day oversight needed from management, freeing up
management resources to support other initiatives. In addition, this position will be responsible for ensuring the
success of meter compliance and enforcement functions, serve as a technical and sizing review lead, and will now
provide leadership on several meter to cash investigative functions. It also provides long-term succession
planning by offering a personnel leadership opportunity within the AFSCME membership.
The changes to this position will allow the Director of Finance and Administration to focus on long term planning
initiatives for the success of the workgroup and assist the Division Director with addressing and advancing some
of the higher level needs of the organization.
The current Water Meter Working Foreperson is graded at AFSCME Grade 16. The Human Resources (HR)
Grading Committee graded the Metering Operations Lead as AFSCME Grade 19. AFSCME is supportive of this
reclassification.
BUDGET IMPACT
The City’s Human Resources Department has reviewed the position descriptions and determined the
recommended pay scale for these positions. The salary impacts were calculated using the FY26 pay-scales. There
are sufficient vacancy savings from the Meter to Cash Analyst position to cover the potential small increase in
wage expenses due to this change.

Notes
1) Unless otherwise noted, reclassifications use 5% minimum rule from Article 9.2d of the AFSCME contract
2) For repurposing of tiered Meter to Cash FTE to tiered Meter Technician position, used Step 7 of Grade 16 (Meter to Cash I) compared to
Step 7 of Grade 15 (Meter Technician I), based on potential grade and step placements for new hires. Cost savings could be more if a new
hire is hired as a Tech in Training).

Re: Reclassification and Retitling an Assistant City Attorney – Director of General Government &
Transactional Services to Assistant City Attorney
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Attorney’s Office is requesting approval of the reclassification and retitling of “Assistant City
Attorney – Director of General Government & Transactional Services,” to “Assistant City Attorney.”
BACKGROUND
When Attorney Erik Ramakrishnan joined the Burlington City Attorney’s Office in January, 2024, although
he was new to working in Vermont, he brought ten years of prior experience as a municipal attorney. In
March, 2025, to recognize Attorney Ramakrishnan’s experience, his Assistant City Attorney title was
reclassified to Assistant City Attorney – Director of General Government & Transactional Services –
consistent with the “Assistant City Attorney – Director” tier established during the tenure of former City
Attorney Dan Richardson.
Attorney Ramakrishnan left employment with the City as of April 14, 2026, and is finishing out his current
appointment on a contract basis. The CA Office will be posting to replace Attorney Ramakrishnan and
requests that the Assistant City Attorney – Director of General Government & Transactional Services
position be reclassified to Assistant City Attorney.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Page 391 of 434
The reclassification and retitling of the Assistant City Attorney -- Director of General Government &
Transactional Services position to Assistant City Attorney will result in a decrease to the pay grade. No
changes to the anticipated City Attorney 101 GF FY27 budget are requested.

Phone: (802) 864-4554 Fax: (802) 865-5387
MEMO
TO: Board of Finance / City Council
CC: Katherine Schad – CAO, Lynn Reagan – HR Director
FROM: Michael Curtin – Fire Chief
DATE: May 11, 2026
SUBJECT: AEMT Average Final Compensation for Non-Union Command Staff
Background
The contract with the Burlington Fire Fighter Association (BFFA) provides a 4% incentive for Advanced EMT
(AEMT) certification. It has been past practice for non-union command staff to receive the same benefits as
union command staff and as such this 4% incentive is given to all staff with the certification.
As of July 1, 2025 a new feature of the collective bargaining agreement is for this incentive to be included in the
Average Final Compensation (AFC) for pension calculations. Due to a grievance and subsequent contract
interpretation, union employees do not pay pension contributions on this portion of their compensation.
Non-union command staff are eligible for similar incentive pay under the Fire Leadership Pay Scale (FLPS);
however, its treatment for retirement purposes has not been formally established. Additionally, the loss or
uncertainty of this 4% incentive when transitioning from a union position to a non-union role has become a
deterrent for promotion to Battalion Chief, as it reduces the overall value of the promotional increase.
Proposal
The Department proposes the following for non-union Fire Department employees:
• The 4% AEMT incentive will be included in AFC calculations as pensionable earnings.
• Employee retirement contributions will be required on this compensation.
This approach differs from the union structure and ensures that all pensionable earnings for non-union
employees are fully contributed toward the retirement system. This proposal is intended to:
• Provide clarity and consistency in how specialty pay is treated for non-union employees AFC;
• Maintain the value of AEMT certification for recruitment and retention of command staff;
• Avoid creating additional unfunded pension liability.

Phone: (802) 864-4554 Fax: (802) 865-5387
Financial Impact
The financial impact is limited to the employer share of retirement contributions associated with the 4% AEMT
incentive. Because employee contributions will be made on this compensation, the proposal does not incur
additional liability.
Recommended Action
Board of Finance:
Approve and recommend that the City Council authorize the inclusion of the 4% AEMT incentive for non-
union Fire Department employees as pensionable compensation for AFC purposes, such that the percentage of
employee wages to be contributed to BERS as set annually by the City Council annual budget appropriation
resolution will be understood to be of base wages plus the AEMT incentive for such non-union employees, with
required employee and employer retirement contributions
City Council:
Approve and authorize the inclusion of the 4% AEMT incentive for non-union Fire Department employees as
pensionable compensation for AFC purposes, such that the percentage of employee wages to be contributed to
BERS as set annually by the City Council annual budget appropriation resolution will be understood to be of
base wages plus the AEMT incentive for such non-union employees, with required employee and employer
retirement contributions.
Thank you for considering this request.
