Construction Documents. The Consultant shall also prepare Change Orders, assemble

and necessary for its purpose. Among those shall be change orders, which
are identified as architectural/engineering errors or omissions. An error
determined to be caused solely by the Consultant and the costs of
which would not otherwise have been a necessary expense to the City for the
project shall be considered for purposes of this agreement to be an
additional cost to the City,which would not be incurred without the error or
omission.
If the Consultant is not the Construction Manager for the construction, the
City shall notify the Consultant within 3 days of the discovery of any
architectural/engineering error or omission so that the Consultant can be part
of the negotiations resolving the claim between the City and the Contractor.
So long as the total additional cost of construction for all errors caused solely
by the Consultant remain less than Five Percent (5%) of the total construction
cost for projects (equal to or less than $1 million) or Two and One Half Percent
(2.5%) for large projects (more than $1 million), the City shall not look to the
Consultant and/or its insurer for reimbursement for additional costs caused by
errors and omissions. However, the Consultant shall be required to provide, at
no cost to the City, services including redesign if necessary to resolve the error
or omission. Should the sum of the additional construction costs for errors in
total exceed Five Percent (5%) of the total construction cost for projects(equal to
or less than $1 million) or Two and One Half(2.5%) for large projects (more than
$1 million), the City shall be entitled to recover the full and total additional cost
to the City as a result of Consultant errors and omissions from the Consultant.
To obtain such recovery, the City shall deduct from the Consultant's fee a
sufficient amount to recover all such additional cost to the City up to the
amount of the Consultant's insurance deductible. Should additional costs
incurred by the City exceed the Consultant's insurance deductible,the City shall
look to the Consultant and the Consultant's insurer for the remaining amount of
additional construction costs incurred by the City. The recovery of additional
costs to the City under this paragraph shall not limit or preclude recovery for
other separate and/or additional damages, which the City may otherwise incur.
The City reserves the right to withhold from the Consultant's fees or the
Consultant's request for payment such amounts for the Consultant's errors and
omissions, as determined by the City,after a meeting with the Consultant and City
Continuing Contract Page 7 of 29

Page 337 of 519
staff. The Consultant shall retain all rights to assert a claim to recover any amount
so withheld. The Consultant recognizes that the City's right to withhold payments
is a material inducement to the City entering into this agreement. Withholding
any monies herein shall not be deemed a default and/or breach of this agreement
by the City and the Consultant shall continue performance of all services required
under this agreement notwithstanding such withholding of monies by the City.
The recovery of additional costs to the City under this paragraph shall not limit
or preclude recovery for other separate and/or additional damages that the City
may otherwise incur.
■ This paragraph does not apply to changes requested by the City of
Miami Gardens
■ The provision of 2.5.1 does not constitute a waiver of the City's right
to claim or recover damages in excess of the Consultant's basic
services fees through litigation or other means.
The City of Miami Gardens reserves the right to act as Project Manager.
2.6 The Consultant shall carefully review and examine the Contractor's Schedule of Values,
together with any supporting documentation. The purpose of such review and examination
will be to protect the City from an unbalanced Schedule of Values which allocates greater
value to certain elements of each Project than is indicated by industry standards,supporting
documentation, or data. If the Schedule of Values is not found to be appropriate, it shall
be returned to the Contractor for revision or supporting documentation. After making such
examination,when the Schedule of Values is found to be appropriate,the Consultant shall
sign the Schedule of Values indicating informed belief that the Schedule of Values
constitutes a reasonable,balanced basis for payment of the Contract price to the Contractor.
2.7 The Consultant shall perform on-site construction observation of each Project based on the
Construction Documents in accordance with Paragraph 2.12 of this Agreement. The
Consultant's observation shall determine the progress and quality of the work, and whether
the work is proceeding in accordance with the Construction Documents. The Consultant
will provide the City with a written report of each site visit in order to inform the City of
the progress of the Work. The Consultant shall endeavor to guard the City against defects
and deficiencies in the work of Contractors, and make written recommendation to the City
where the Work fails to conform to the Construction Documents. Based on such
observation and the Contractor's Application for Payment, the Consultant shall determine
the amount due to the Contractor and shall issue Certificates for Payment in such amount.
These Certificates will constitute a representation to the City, based on such observations
and the data comprising the Application for Payment that the work has progressed to the
point indicated. By issuing a Certificate for Payment,the Consultant will also represent to
the City that, to the best of its information and belief,based on what its observations have
revealed, the work is in accordance with the Construction Documents. The Consultant

authority to transmit instructions and receive information with respect to the

ARTICLE 5
SEQUENCE OF SERVICES AND TIME FOR PERFORMANCE
5.1 This Agreement shall commence upon the execution by both parties and shall continue for
an initial period of three (3) years, unless terminated sooner as provided for in this
Agreement. The Consultant understands and acknowledges that the Services to be
performed during the three(3)year term will be governed by this Agreement,and that there
is no guarantee of future work being given to the Consultant.
5.2 Parties agree and understand that this Agreement shall be renewable after the expiration of
the initial three (3) year period with terms and conditions to be agreed upon by City and
Consultant.
5.3 Following receipt of any written work authorization the Consultant shall submit to the City,
at least five (5) days prior to actually commencing services, a schedule of services and
expenses for approval by the City before any services commence. The City reserves the
right to make changes to the sequence as necessary to facilitate the services or to minimize
any conflict with operations.
Work authorizations will be issued to the Consultant in the order in which the City wishes,
and shall be performed and completed in the order they are issued, unless otherwise
specifically permitted by the City. Minor adjustments to the timetable for completion
Continuing Contract Page 14 of 29
Continuing Engineering Services 10-200K
Professional Services
Page 344 of 519
approved by City in advance, in writing, shall not constitute non-performance by
Consultant pursuant to this Agreement.
5.4 When the City issues work authorizations to the Consultant,each authorization will contain
a stated completion schedule. Failure of the Consultant to meet the stated schedule will
constitute a default, for which payment for services may be withheld until default is cured.
Time extensions will be reviewed, upon request, for extenuating circumstances.
It is anticipated and intended that the Consultant will be authorized to begin new work
authorizations on a "rolling" basis, as some already assigned work authorizations near
timely completion. If a subsequent work authorization is issued to the Consultant before
it has completed the current work authorization, the completion date for each work
authorization will remain independent of each other, so that the Consultant will prioritize
the uncompleted work authorization from the first work authorization and finish them as
soon as practical. Failure to complete these"older"work authorizations in a timely manner
may adversely impact upon continued early authorization to start a subsequent work.
5.5 When the Consultant has exceeded the stated completion date, including any extension for
extenuating circumstances which may have been granted, a written notice of Default will
be issued within seven (7) calendar days of the date that the default became active with a
requirement of seven (7) days to cure said default, to the Consultant and payment for
services rendered shall be withheld until such time that the City has determined that default
has been cured.
5.6 Should the Consultant exceed the assigned completion time,the City reserves the right not
to issue to the Consultant any further work authorizations until such time as there is no
longer in a Default and the Consultant has demonstrated,to the City's satisfaction,that the
reasons for tardy completion have been addressed and are not likely to be repeated in
subsequent work authorizations. This restricted issuance provision may result in the
Consultant not being issued all of the planned work the City anticipated in this Agreement.
The Consultant shall have no right to the balance of any work, nor to any compensation
associated with these non-issued work authorizations, due to the Consultant being in
Default.
5.7 Should the Consultant remain in Default for a time period of fifteen (15) consecutive
calendar days beyond the time frame provided in article 5.5, the City may, at its option,
retain another Consultant to perform any Work arising out of this Agreement and/or
terminate this Agreement.

period specified for performance of services shall be extended by the period of delay
occasioned by any such circumstance, and services omitted shall be made or performed
during such extension, or the services so omitted shall extend this Agreement for a period
equal to such delay. During this period such delay shall not constitute a delay by the

will give written notice to the Consultant of such project abandonment or suspension. The

suspension. The City will not be liable for overhead, or any other cost direct or indirect,
that the Consultant may incur outside of any direct costs associated with a project. If a
project is resumed after having been suspended for an excess of six months, the
Consultant's further compensation may be renegotiated, but the City shall have no
obligation to complete the project.
