WHEREAS, on 6/19/2019, requested proposals for Architectural Design Services per
Specification No. 5009.2019.AD
WHEREAS, pursuant to said request, Consultant submitted a proposal that was accepted by City
for said services.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, obligations and covenants
hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Contract Term for On-Call Service Contracts. The term of this Agreement shall be from the date
this Agreement is made and entered, as first written above. Services identified in this specification will
be contracted by the City for four years. Actual work may extend beyond the final date.
2. Cost Increases for On-Call Service Contracts and Contract Extension. Labor rates during the
contract term may be increased on an annual basis to reflect projected incre ases in labor costs and
overhead provided those increases are incorporated into the Consultant’s Proposal, which is
incorporated into this agreement by reference.
The term of the contract may be extended by mutual consent for an additional year. During t his
extended period, labor rates may be increased to reflect increased labor rates and overhead provided
the City is notified and those increases are incorporated into the extension.
3. Work Delays. Should the Consultant be obstructed or delayed in the work required to be done
hereunder by changes in the work or by any default, act, or omission of the City, or by strikes, fire,
earthquake, or any other Act of God, or by the inability to obtain materials, equipment, or labor due to
federal government restrictions arising out of defense or war programs, then the time of completion
may, at the City's sole option, be extended for such periods as may be agreed upon by the City and
the Consultant. In the event that there is insufficient time to grant such extensions prior to the
completion date of the contract, the City may, at the time of acceptance of the work, waive liquidated
damages that may have accrued for failure to complete on time, due to any of the above, after
hearing evidence as to the reasons for such delay, and making a finding as to the causes of same.
4. Termination for Cause. If, during the term of the contract, the City determines that the Consultant is
not faithfully abiding by any term or condition contained herein, the City may notify the Consu ltant in
writing of such defect or failure to perform. This notice must give the Consultant a 10 (ten) calendar
day notice of time thereafter in which to perform said work or cure the deficiency.
If the Consultant has not performed the work or cured the deficiency within the ten days specified in
the notice, such shall constitute a breach of the contract and the City may terminate the contract
immediately by written notice to the Consultant to said effect. Thereafter, neither party shall have a ny
further duties, obligations, responsibilities, or rights under the contract except, however, any and all
obligations of the Consultant's surety shall remain in full force and effect, and shall not be
extinguished, reduced, or in any manner waived by the termination thereof.
In said event, the Consultant shall be entitled to the reasonable value of its services performed from
the beginning date in which the breach occurs up to the day it received the City's Notice of
Termination, minus any offset from such payment representing the City's damages from such breach.
"Reasonable value" includes fees or charges for goods or services as of the last milestone or task
satisfactorily delivered or completed by the Consultant as may be set forth in the Agreement p ayment
schedule; compensation for any other work, services or goods performed or provided by the
Consultant shall be based solely on the City's assessment of the value of the work -in-progress in
completing the overall work scope.
The City reserves the right to delay any such payment until completion or confirmed abandonment of
the project, as may be determined in the City's sole discretion, so as to permit a full and complete
accounting of costs. In no event, however, shall the Consultant be entitled to receive in excess of the
compensation quoted in its proposal.
5. Termination for Convenience. The City also reserves the right to terminate the contract for
convenience, providing a 30 (thirty) calendar day notice, at any time upon a determination by the
Director that termination of the contract is in the best interest of the City. Upon termination notice
from the City, Consultant must, unless otherwise directed, cease work and follow the City’s directions

responsibility for proposal preparation errors resulting from any misstatements or omissio ns in the
specifications that could easily have been ascertained by examining either the project site or accurate
test data in the City's possession. Although the effect of ambiguities or defects in the specifications
will be as determined by law, any patent ambiguity or defect shall give rise to a duty of Consultant to
inquire prior to proposal submittal. Failure to so inquire shall cause any such ambiguity or defect to
be construed against the Consultant. An ambiguity or defect shall be considered pate nt if it is of such
a nature that the Consultant, assuming reasonable skill, ability and diligence on its part, knew or
should have known of the existence of the ambiguity or defect. Furthermore, failure of the Consultant
or sub-consultants to notify City in writing of specification defects or ambiguities prior to proposal
submittal shall waive any right to assert said defects or ambiguities subsequent to submittal of the
proposal.
To the extent that these specifications constitute performance specificati ons, the City shall not be
liable for costs incurred by the successful Consultant to achieve the project’s objective or standard

ambiguity or defect in the specifications, or any other matter whatsoever, Consultant shall
immediately notify the City in writing, and the Consultant and all sub-consultants shall continue to
perform, irrespective of whether or not the ambiguity or defect is major, material, minor or trivial, and
irrespective of whether or not a change order, time extension, or additional compensation has been
granted by City. Failure to provide the hereinbefore described written notice within one (1) working
day of Consultant's becoming aware of the facts giving rise to the dispute shall constitute a waiver of
the right to assert the causative role of the defect or ambiguity in the plans or specifications
concerning the dispute.
