WHEREAS, the Authority has conducted a competitive selection process under the Virginia Public Procurement Act, Ch. 43, Virginia Code, to obtain the products and/or services described hereinafter, and has selected Vendor to provide those services; and

WHEREAS, Vendor has submitted a proposal in response to the Authority’s request seeking to provide those products and/or services and represents that it has expertise in the type of products and/or services required.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above, the terms and provisions contained herein, and the mutual consideration described below, the Parties agree as follows:

2.1 Vendor will provide all services necessary to meet the requirements of the

Authority for the Project, as described in Exhibit “A” attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein, and as assigned by the Authority during the term of this Agreement. To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any exhibits, this Agreement will govern and control.

2.2 Vendor has represented to the Authority that it has expertise in the type of services that will be required by the Scope of Services listed in Exhibit “A”.

Vendor agrees that all services provided by Vendor under this Agreement are subject to the Authority’s review and approval and will be performed according to the normal and customary standards of practice for firms with special expertise in the type of services required by this Agreement, and in compliance with all laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations and requirements of any governmental agencies which regulate or have jurisdiction over those services. If Vendor becomes aware of any conflicts in these requirements, Vendor will notify the Authority of such conflict in writing and utilize its best judgment to resolve the conflict.

ARTICLE 3- TERM OF AGREEMENT

3.1 The term of this Agreement commences on the date first written above and continues for a term of one (1) year from that date (the “Expiration Date”), or the date Vendor completes, and the Authority accepts, any work assigned by a Contract Amendment issued before the Expiration Date, whichever occurs last. If a Contract Amendment is issued that will require work to continue beyond the Expiration Date, it may not extend the term of this Agreement for more than six (6) months from the Expiration Date.

3.2 The Authority will have the option to extend the initial term of this

Agreement for up to five (5) additional years in one (1) year increments from the Expiration Date of the initial term or any extended term. Each extension is subject to successful negotiation by the Parties of a scope of work and compensation schedule for the extended term.

3.3 To exercise its option to extend the initial term, or any extended term of this Agreement, the Authority must give Vendor written notice of its intent to exercise its option to extend at least ninety (90) days before the then current term expires. Any extended term will be agreed to in writing and executed by the Parties in the manner described in Article 23.

ARTICLE 4- VENDOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Vendor will:

4.1 If necessary, obtain and maintain throughout the term of this Agreement all licenses required to do business in the Commonwealth of Virginia and in the City of Norfolk, including, but not limited to, all business and other licenses required by any governmental agency responsible for regulating and licensing the services provided by Vendor under this Agreement.

4.2 Agree that when services provided under this Agreement relate to services which, under Virginia law, require a license, certificate of authorization or other form of legal entitlement to practice such services, Vendor will employ and/or retain only qualified personnel to provide those services.

4.3 Employ qualified personnel to perform the services described in Exhibit

“A”, including one or more supervisory employees with full authority to bind and obligate Vendor on all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

4.4 Agree to promptly remove and replace any personnel employed or retained by Vendor (or any subcontractor or any personnel of any such subcontractor engaged by Vendor to provide services under this Agreement, if permitted by this Agreement) upon the request from the Authority, which may make such requests in its sole discretion, with or without cause.

ARTICLE 5- ADDITIONAL SERVICES OF VENDOR

5.1 Additional Services refer to services requested by the Authority that are not specifically set out in the Scope of Services as listed in Exhibit “A”.

5.2 Any additional services agreed to by the Parties will constitute a continuation of the services requested under this Agreement and must be provided and performed according to the terms of this Agreement and any amendment to this Agreement. Any amendment will describe: (1) the scope of the additional services requested; (2) the basis of compensation;

and (3) the period for performance schedule for completion of the additional services.

ARTICLE 6- AUTHORITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES

The Authority will:

6.1 Designate one or more employees to act as the Authority’s representative with respect to the services rendered under this Agreement. The Authority’s representative(s) will have authority to transmit instructions, receive information, and interpret and define the Authority’s policies and decisions with respect to Vendor’s services under this Agreement.

6.2 Notify Vendor of any deficiencies in services rendered by Vendor.

ARTICLE 7- NOTICE TO PROCEED, CONTRACT AMENDMENTS, AND

TIME FOR COMPLETION OF SERVICES

7.1 Vendor will not commence work under this Agreement until it receives a fully executed copy of this Agreement and a written notice to proceed or the equivalent from the Authority. Following the issuance of a notice to proceed and during the term of this Agreement, the Authority may assign specific tasks by Contract Amendment or similar document, to be signed by both Parties. Each Contract Amendment or similar document will include a lump sum or other compensation amount, and a schedule of services required or a delivery date for all services.

7.2 Time is of the essence for all services provided under this Agreement. The

Authority may suffer damage if Vendor does not complete the required services in a timely manner. Vendor therefore agrees to employ or retain adequate personnel throughout the term of this Agreement to complete all services in a timely and diligent manner.

7.3 If Vendor is obstructed or delayed in the prosecution or completion of its services as a result of unforeseeable causes beyond the control of Vendor, and not due to its own fault or neglect, including but not restricted to: acts of God or of public enemies, acts of government or of the Authority, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine regulations, strikes or lock-outs, then Vendor must notify the Authority in writing within seventy-two (72) hours after commencement of such delay, stating the cause or causes thereof, or be deemed to have waived any right which Vendor may have had to request a time extension.

7.4 No interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the commencement or progress of Vendor’s services from any cause whatsoever, including those for which the Authority may be responsible in whole or in part, will relieve Vendor of its duty to perform services or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from the Authority. Vendor’s sole remedy against the Authority will be the right to seek an extension of time to its schedule. This paragraph will expressly apply to claims for early completion, as well as claims based on late completion. Provided, however, if through no fault or neglect of Vendor, the services relating to a specific Contract Amendment or Task Authorization hereunder have not been completed within twenty-four (24) months of the date that Contract Amendment or Task Authorization was signed by both Parties, Vendor’s compensation for that Contract Amendment or Task Authorization will be equitably adjusted, with respect to those services that have not yet been performed, to reflect the incremental increase in costs experienced by Vendor after expiration of said twenty-four (24) month period.

7.5 If Vendor fails to commence, provide, perform or complete any of the services to be provided hereunder in a timely and diligent manner, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Authority hereunder, the Authority at its sole discretion and option may withhold any and all payments due and owing to Vendor until such time as Vendor resumes performance of its obligations in such a manner so as to establish to the

Authority’s satisfaction that Vendor’s performance is or will shortly be back on schedule.

ARTICLE 8- COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT

8.1 The Authority will pay Vendor for all authorized services provided by Vendor under this Agreement as prescribed in Exhibit “A”, which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

8.2 All Tasks outlined in the Agreement are contingent upon the execution of a

Contract Amendment. The Authority’s approval and execution of this Agreement does not commit the Authority to the expenditure of any federal, state, local or other funds for any service listed in this Agreement.

Only by execution of a Contract Amendment is the expenditure of funds authorized and committed. Vendor and the Authority understand, recognize and agree that there is no presumption of funding availability, authorization to work or commitment for future work until an appropriate Contract Amendment is executed by both Parties. Tasks may be authorized in whole or in part.

8.3 The Authority will issue payment to Vendor within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of an invoice in an acceptable form and containing the requested breakdown and detailed description and documentation. If the Authority objects or takes exception to the amount of any Vendor invoice, the Authority will notify Vendor in writing of such objection or exception within the thirty (30) day period. If such objection or exception remains unresolved at the end of the thirty (30) day period, the Authority will withhold the disputed amount and make payment to Vendor of all amounts not in dispute. Payment of any disputed amount will be resolved by the mutual agreement of the Parties.

8.4 Failure by Vendor…
