Whenever others are required to verify, review, 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 enable the Consultant to receive input from others' professional expertise to identify any discrepancies, errors or omissions that are inconsistent with industry standards for design or construction of comparable projects; or which are inconsistent with Applicable Laws; or which are inconsistent with standards, decisions or approvals provided by the City under this Agreement. Consultant will use reasonable care and skill, in accordance and consistent with customary professional standards, in responding to items identified by other reviewers in accordance with this subsection.

Consultant shall also require its employees and sub-consultants to comply with this subsection. 2.15 The City and Consultant acknowledge that the Services do not delineate every detail and minor work task required to be performed by Consultant to complete the Project.

In addition, Consultant shall provide electronic document files to the City upon completion of the Project. 2.17 The City's participation in the design and construction of the Project shall in no way be deemed to relieve the Consultant of its professional duties and responsibilities under the Contract Documents or under Applicable Laws. 2.18 GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS: The Consultant shall comply with the requirements of Section 255.2575, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 100 of the City Code, as both may be amended from time to time, addressing applicable Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) compliance requirements. 12 CITY APPROVED A&E FORM(AUGUST 2010) 2.19 SUB-CONSULTANTS: All services provided by sub-consultants shall be consistent with those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive solicitation selection process and interview.

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.
