Agreements\Donohue\23-13 Donohue Agreement-WWTP Conc & Struct Repairs_6-28-23.docx Page 2 of 7
All reports, drawings, specifications, computer files, field data, notes, and other
documents and instruments prepared by the CONSULTANT as instruments of service shall
become property of the CITY upon payment for those documents by the CITY to the
CONSULTANT, and shall remain the property of the CITY.
ARTICLE IV. STANDARD OF CARE
The standard of care applicable to CONSULTANT's services will be the degree of skill
and diligence normally employed by professional consultants or consultants performing the
same or similar services at the time said services are performed. CONSULTANT will re-
perform any services not meeting this standard without additional compensation.
ARTICLE V. OPINIONS OF COST, FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS, AND
SCHEDULES
In providing opinions of cost, financial analyses, economic feasibility projections, and
schedules for the PROJECT, CONSULTANT has no control over cost or price of labor and
materials; unknown or latent conditions of existing equipment or structures that may affect
operation or maintenance costs; competitive bidding procedures and market conditions; time
or quality of performance by operating personnel or third parties; and other economic and
operational factors that may materially affect the ultimate project cost or schedule. Therefore,
it is understood between the parties the CONSULTANT makes no warranty the CITY's actual
project costs, financial aspects, economic feasibility, or schedules will not vary from
CONSULTANT's opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.
ARTICLE VI. RECORD DRAWINGS
Record drawings, if required, will be prepared, in part, on the basis of information
compiled and furnished by others. CONSULTANT is not responsible for any errors or
omissions in the information from others the CONSULTANT reasonably relied upon and are
incorporated into the record drawings.
ARTICLE VII. CITY RESPONSIBILITIES
The CITY shall furnish, at the CONSULTANT’s request, such information as is needed
by the CONSULTANT to aid in the progress of the PROJECT, providing it is reasonably
obtainable from City records.

Agreements\Donohue\23-13 Donohue Agreement-WWTP Conc & Struct Repairs_6-28-23.docx Page 3 of 7
To prevent any unreasonable delay in the CONSULTANT’s work, the CITY will
examine all reports and other documents and will make any authorizations necessary to
proceed with work within a reasonable time period.
ARTICLE VIII. CITY’S INSURANCE
The CITY will maintain property insurance on all pre-existing physical facilities
associated in any way with the PROJECT.
The CITY will provide (or have the construction contractor(s) provide) a Builders Risk
All Risk insurance policy for the full replacement value of all project work including the value
of all onsite CITY-furnished equipment and/or materials associated with CONSULTANT's
services. Upon request, the CITY will provide CONSULTANT a copy of such policy.
ARTICLE IX. TIME OF COMPLETION
The work to be performed under this AGREEMENT shall be commenced and the
work completed within the time limits as agreed upon in the CONSULTANT’s Scope of
Services.
The CONSULTANT shall perform the services under this AGREEMENT with
reasonable diligence and expediency consistent with sound professional practices. The CITY
agrees the CONSULTANT is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from
any delays for causes beyond the CONSULTANT’s control. For the purposes of this
AGREEMENT, such causes include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes,
severe weather disruptions or other natural disasters, failure of performance by the CITY, or
discovery of any hazardous substances or differing site conditions. If the delays resulting
from any such causes increase the time required by the CONSULTANT to perform its
services in an orderly and efficient manner, the CONSULTANT shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment in schedule.
While CONSULTANT has made reasonable efforts to incorporate into their plan for
the PROJECT any known current project impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,
CONSULTANT has not accounted for, and is not responsible for, unknown future changes
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, without limitation, additional restrictions by
government agencies or others (such as the availability of the site for access or the availability
of CITY or CONSULTANT staff or others) to the extent they delay or otherwise impact the
PROJECT. In that event, CONSULTANT will notify CITY and work in good faith to
equitably address any unexpected impacts therefrom.
