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. 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.
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 VI. 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 Proposal.
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
