1. Keep and maintain public records required by the public agency to perform the service.

2. Upon request from the public agency’s custodian of public records, provide the public agency with a copy of the requested records or allow the records to be inspected or copied within a reasonable time at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided in this chapter or as otherwise provided by law.

3. Ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the duration of the contract term and following completion of the contract if the Contractor does not transfer the records to the public agency.

4. Upon completion of the contract, transfer, at no cost, to the public agency all public records in possession of the Contractor or keep and maintain public records required by the public agency to perform the service.

If Contractor observes that the Contract Documents are at variance therewith, it shall promptly notify the County in writing.

1.8. In the event of any conflicts in these requirements, the CONSULTANT shall notify the COUNTY of such conflict and utilize its best professional judgment to advise the COUNTY regarding resolution of each such conflict. The COUNTYS approval of the design documents in no way relieves CONSULTANT of its obligation to deliver complete and accurate documents necessary for successful construction of the Project.

1.9. The COUNTY reserves the right to deduct portions of the (monthly) invoiced (task) amount for the following: Tasks not completed within the expressed time frame, including required deliverables, incomplete and/or deficient documents, failure to comply with local, state and/or federal requirements and/or codes and ordinances applicable to CONSULTANT’s performance of the work as related to the project. This list is not deemed to be all-inclusive, and the COUNTY reserves the right to make sole determination regarding deductions. After notification of deficiency, if the CONSULANT fails to correct the deficiency within the specified timeframe, these funds would be forfeited by the CONSULTANT. The COUNTY may also deduct or charge the CONSULTANT for services and/or items necessary to correct the deficiencies directly related to the CONSULTANT’s non-performance whether or not the COUNTY obtained substitute performance.

1.10. CONSULTANT agrees not to divulge, furnish or make available to any third person, firm or organization, without the COUNTY's prior written consent, or unless incident to the proper performance of the CONSULTANT'S obligations hereunder, or in the course of judicial or legislative proceedings where such information has been properly subpoenaed, any non-public information concerning the services to be rendered by CONSULTANT hereunder, and CONSULTANT shall require all of its employees, agents, subconsultants and subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

Information layers shall have common naming conventions (i.e. right-of-way - ROW, centerlines - CL, edge-of-pavement - EOP, etc.), and adhere to industry standard CAD specifications.

ARTICLE TWO

ADDITIONAL SERVICES OF CONSULTANT

2.1. If authorized in writing by the COUNTY through a Change Order or Amendment to this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall furnish or obtain from others Additional Services of the types listed in Article Two herein. The agreed upon scope, compensation and schedule for Additional Services shall be set forth in the Change Order or Amendment authorizing those Additional Services. With respect to the individuals with authority to authorize Additional Services under this Agreement, such authority will be as established in the COUNTY’s Procurement Ordinance and Procedures in effect at the time such services are authorized. These services will be paid for by the COUNTY as indicated in Article Five and Schedule B. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, any Additional Services must be approved in writing via a Change Order or an Amendment to this Agreement prior to starting such services. The COUNTY will not be responsible for the costs of Additional Services commenced without such express prior written approval. Failure to obtain such prior written approval for Additional Services will be deemed: (i) a waiver of any claim by CONSULTANT for such Additional Services and (ii) an admission by CONSULTANT that such Work is not additional but rather a part of the Basic Services required of CONSULTANT hereunder. If the COUNTY determines that a change in the Agreement is required because of the action taken by CONSULTANT in response to an emergency, an Amendment shall be issued to document the consequences of the changes or variations, provided that CONSULTANT has delivered written notice to the COUNTY of the emergency within forty-eight (48) hours from when CONSULTANT knew or should have known of its occurrence.

Failure to provide the forty-eight (48) hour written notice noted above, waives CONSULTANT’s right it otherwise may have had to seek an adjustment to its compensation or time of performance under this Agreement. The following services, if not otherwise specified in Schedule A as part of Basic Services, shall be Additional Services:

2.1.1 Preparation of applications and supporting documents (except those already to be furnished under this Agreement) for private or governmental grants, loans, bond issues or advances in connection with the Project.

2.1.2 Services resulting from significant changes in the general scope, extent or character of the Project or its design including, but not limited to, changes in size, complexity, the COUNTY's schedule or character of construction; and revising studies, reports, design documents or Contract Documents previously accepted by the COUNTY when such revisions are required by changes in laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or orders enacted subsequent to and not reasonably anticipated prior to the preparation of such studies, reports or documents, or are due to any other causes beyond CONSULTANT's control and fault.

The Project Manager shall have authority to transmit instructions, receive information, interpret and define the COUNTY's policies and decisions with respect to CONSULTANT's services for the Project. However, the Project Manager is not authorized to issue any verbal or written orders or instructions to the CONSULTANT that would have the effect, or be interpreted to have the effect, of modifying or changing in any way whatever:

b. The time the CONSULTANT is obligated to commence and complete all such services; or

c. The amount of compensation the COUNTY is obligated or committed to pay the

TIME

4.1. Services to be rendered by CONSULTANT shall be commenced subsequent to the execution of this Agreement upon written Notice to Proceed from the COUNTY for all or any designated portion of the Project and shall be performed and completed in accordance with the Project Milestone Schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof as Schedule C. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of this Agreement.

4.2. Should CONSULTANT be obstructed or delayed in the prosecution or completion of its services as a result of unforeseeable causes beyond the control of CONSULTANT, and not due to its own fault or neglect, including but not restricted to acts of nature or of public enemy, acts of government or of the COUNTY, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine regulations, strikes or lock-outs, then CONSULTANT shall notify the COUNTY in writing within five (5) working days after commencement of such delay, stating the specific cause or causes thereof, or be deemed to have waived any right which CONSULTANT may have had to request a time extension for that specific delay.

4.3. No interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the commencement or progress of CONSULTANT's services from any cause whatsoever, including those for which the COUNTY may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONSULTANT of its duty to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from the COUNTY. CONSULTANT's sole remedy against the COUNTY will be the right to seek an extension of time to its schedule provided, however, the granting of any such time extension shall not be a condition precedent to the aforementioned “No Damage For Delay” provision. This paragraph shall expressly apply to claims for early completion, as well as claims based on late completion. Provided, however, if through no fault or neglect of CONSULTANT, the services to be provided hereunder have been delayed for a total of 180 calendar days, CONSULTANT’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted, with respect to those services that have not yet been performed, to reflect the incremental increase in costs experienced by CONSULTANT, if any, as a result of such delays.

4.4. Should the CONSULTANT fail to commence, provide, perform or complete any of the services to be provided hereunder in a timely manner, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the COUNTY hereunder, the COUNTY at its sole discretion and option may withhold any and all payments due and owing to the CONSULTANT until such time as the CONSULTANT resumes performance of its obligations hereunder in such a manner so as to reasonably establish to the COUNTY's satisfaction that the CONSULTANT's performance is or will shortly be back on schedule.

4.5. In no event shall any approval by the COUNTY authorizing CONSULTANT to continue performing Work under this Agreement or any payment issued by the COUNTY to CONSULTANT be deemed a waiver of any right or claim the COUNTY may have against CONSULTANT for delay or any other damages hereunder.

COMPENSATION

5.1. Compensation and the manner of payment of such compensation by the COUNTY for services rendered hereunder by CONSULTANT shall be as prescribed in Schedule B, entitled "Basis of Compensation", which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Project Manager, or designee, reserves the right to utilize any of the following Price Methodologies:

Lump Sum (Fixed Price): A firm fixed total price offering for a project; the risks are transferred from the COUNTY to the CONSULTANT; and, as a business practice there are no hourly or material invoices presented, rather, the CONSULTANT must perform to the satisfaction of the COUNTY’s Project Manager before payment for the fixed price contract is authorized.

Time and Materials: The COUNTY agrees to pay the contractor for the amount of labor time spent by the CONSULTANT 's employees and subcontractors to perform the work (number of hours times hourly rate), and for materials and equipment used in the project (cost of materials plus the contractor's mark-up).

5.2. The hourly rates as set forth and identified in Schedule B, which is attached hereto, shall apply only to tasks procured under the Time and Materials pricing methodology specified in paragraph 5.1 above. Grant Funded: The hourly rates as set forth and identified in Schedule B, which is attached hereto, are for purposes of providing estimate(s), as required by the grantor agency.
