Consultant's failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or out of the operations
conducted by Consultant, including the City's active or passive negligence, except for such loss

The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this contract
relating to insurance.
17. Contract Assignment. The Contractor shall not assign, transfer, convey or otherwise
dispose of the contract, or its right, title or interest, or its power to execute such a contract to any
individual or business entity of any kind without the previous written consent of the City.
18. Termination for Convenience. The City may terminate all or part of this Agreement for
any or no reason at any time by giving 30 days written notice to Contractor. Should the City

deficiency.
If the Contractor 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 Contractor to said effect. Thereafter, neither
party shall have any further duties, obligations, responsibilities, or rights under the contract
except, however, any and all obligations of the Contractor's surety shall remain in full force and
effect, and shall not be extinguished, reduced, or in any manner waived by the terminations
thereof.
In said event, the Contractor 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 Contractor as may be set forth in

the Agreement payment schedule; compensation for any other work, services or goods
performed or provided by the Contractor 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 Contractor be entitled to
receive in excess of the compensation quoted in its proposal.
