Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company 5605 N. MacArthur Blvd. 469.524.0000 phone <br />GRS Consultants & Actuaries Suite 870 469.524.0003 fax <br />Irving, TX 75038 -2631 wwwgabrielroeder.com <br />MASTER AGREEMENT <br />Pursuant to the award of Joint Actuarial Services by the North Central Texas Council of <br />Governments ( NCTCOG), this agreement confirms the terms under which the City of <br />San Marcos (name of government) hereinafter referred to as `CONTRACTING <br />GOVERNMENT" has engaged Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Co. hereinafter referred to as <br />"GRS" to perform actuarial consulting services. In as much as this relationship will <br />involve several actuarial reviews and other services that will be governed by the Request <br />for Proposal issued by NCTCOG on May 31, 2006 and our subsequent response to that <br />proposal, we have agreed to establish this "master agreement" defining the general terms <br />and conditions for all work performed. <br />This agreement will not, by itself, authorize the performance of any services. Rather <br />specific services will be authorized through a separate engagement letter that references <br />this master agreement and details the services to be provided and the timeframe and fees <br />required. In the event of an inconsistency between this master agreement and an <br />individual engagement letter, the master agreement will be followed. <br />As described in the above referenced Request for Proposal the following terms apply: <br />A. Tax Exempt Entities. CONTRACTING GOVERNMENT is exempt from <br />manufacturer's federal excise tax and states sales tax. Tax exemption certificates <br />will be issued upon request. <br />B. Role of NCTCOG. NCTCOG has served as a facilitator to the RFP and award <br />process but the contractual relationship is between GRS and the CONTRACTING <br />GOVERNMENT. <br />-. C. Aggregate Information. GRS agrees to supply NCTCOG with the specified <br />results from the valuations and to aggregate that information with that of other <br />governments for the purpose of benchmarking. <br />D. Fees. GRS agrees to follow the attached pricing schedule ( "Attachment A ") for <br />pricing of its services. <br />E. Review of Charges. CONTRACTING GOVERNMENT has the right to review <br />the supporting documentation for any hourly charges or out of pocket expenses <br />assessed to the CONTRACTING GOVERNMENT under the fee schedule. <br />F. Termination. Both CONTRACTING GOVERNMENT and GRS will have the <br />right to terminate this agreement through written notice. CONTRACTING <br />GOVERNMENT will pay any charges or prorate fees incurred to the date the <br />termination notice is received and actuary will cease any in progress work unless <br />specific stopping points are provided in the letter. <br />
