or consider any work performed by Consultant (including, without limitation, contractors, other design
professionals, and/or other consultants retained by the City), the intent of such requirement is to

inconsistent with standards, decisions or approvals provided by the City under this Agreement.

2.14 Consultant agrees not to divulge, furnish or make available to any third party(ies), any non-
public information concerning the Services or the Project, without the prior written consent of the City
Manager or his designee (who shall be the Project Coordinator), unless such disclosure is incident to

Records laws; or, in the course of judicial proceedings, where such information has been properly
subpoenaed. Consultant shall also require. its employees and sub-consultants to comply with this

in the Scope of Services, Consultant shall promptly notify the Project Coordinator, in writing, and shall
obtain the Project Coordinator's written consent before proceeding with such work. If Consultant
proceeds with any such additional work without obtaining the prior written consent of the Project
Coordinator, said work shall be deemed to be within the original Scope of Services, and deemed
included as a Basic Service (whether or not specifically addressed in the Scope of Services). Mere
notice by Consultant-to the Project Coordinator shall not constitute authorization or approval by the
City to perform such work. Performance of any such work by Consultant without the prior written
consent of the Project Coordinator shall be undertaken at Consultant's sole risk and liability.
2.16 Consultant shall establish, maintain, and categorize any and all Project documents and
records pertinent to the Services and shall provide the City, upon request, with copies of any and all
such documents and/or records. In addition, Consultant shall provide electronic document files to the
City upon completion of the Project.

to relieve the Consultant of its professional duties and responsibilities under the Contract Documents
or under Applicable Laws.

100 of the City Code, as both may be amended from time to time, addressing applicable Leadership in

those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive solicitation
selection process and interview. Such services shall be undertaken and performed pursuant to
appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the sub-consultants, which shall contain
provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the City under this Agreement. Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the City and the sub-consultants.
The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any sub-consultant without the prior written approval of
the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating the reasons for any
proposed substitution. Any approval of a sub-consultant by the City Manager shall not in any way shift
the responsibility for the quality and acceptability by the City of the services performed by the sub-
consultant from the Consultant to the City. The quality of services and acceptability to the City of the
services performed by sub-consultants shall be the sole responsibility of Consultant. The Consultant
shall cause the names of sub-consultants responsible for significant portions of the Services to be
inserted on the plans and specifications.
