A. Continuing Services. The term of the Contract is thirty-six (36) months from the date of
County approval of the Contract. The effective date of a CSA is the date of the
COUNTY'S execution of the CSA. The County may execute a new CSA at any time during the term of the Contract. Consultant shall complete all work pursuant to the CSA, as may be amended or supplemented. CSAs may be supplemented as necessary prior to their completion provided that the supplement scope is directly related to the scope of work in the CSA. CSA’s do not expire with this Contract.
The User Departments will negotiate CSAs on an as needed basis. The Consultant shall provide a work schedule as part of their scope and fee proposal for each CSA. No CSAs are guaranteed as part of this Contract.
At the Consultant’s request, but no more frequently than once every twelve (12) calendar months, the unburdened (raw) rates may be adjusted by negotiation as an “equitable adjustment”, if the cost of living index (Consumer Price Index (CPI)) supports an increase.
However, the multiplier agreed to under the original contract SHALL NOT be changed.
CSAs shall be properly dispatched toward completion, to the satisfaction of the County after notice to proceed is issued. Should the time limit for completion of the CSA exceed the expiration date of the Contract, the CSA work will continue to completion and the
Consultant shall ensure that insurance coverages do not expire until all CSAs issued prior to the expiration of this Contract are complete and accepted.
B. Basic Services. The Consultant shall prepare all plans in accordance with Palm Beach
County Thoroughfare Design Procedures, current standards adopted by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials (AASHTO), the Florida Department of Transportation Manual of Uniform
Minimum Standards, and all other applicable professional and technical standards. Plans shall be based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) 1990 Adjustment and the
North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Plans shall be accurate, legible, complete in design, drawn to scale, and shall be suitable for bidding purposes, unless otherwise stated in Exhibit A.
The Consultant has, during the selection and negotiation process which has preceded this
Contract, represented to the County that the Consultant is possessed of that level of skill, knowledge, experience and expertise that is commensurate with engineering firms of national repute in the areas of practice required for this Project. The Consultant acknowledges that the County has relied on the Consultant’s representations of skill, knowledge, experience and expertise.

The Consultant shall perform such duties as may be
Project #*** Page 3 of 28 assigned without neglect. The Consultant covenants with the County to cooperate with the
County and to utilize the Consultant’s skill, efforts and judgment commensurate with engineering firms of national repute in the areas of practice required for this Project. The

but the Consultant cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids or construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared by the Consultant. If prior to the
