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.

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.

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.

ARTICLE XV. RE-USE OF PROJECT DOCUMENTS All reports, drawings, specifications, documents, and other deliverables of CONSULTANT, whether in hard copy or in electronic form, are instruments of service for this PROJECT, whether the PROJECT is completed or not.
