in this AGREEMENT. If such changes affect CONSULTANT's cost of or time required
for performance of the services, an equitable adjustment will be made through an
amendment to this AGREEMENT.
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

omissions in the information from others the CONSULTANT reasonably relied upon and

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.
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. 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 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.
