Consultant shall also require its employees and sub-consultants to RFQ 2015-127-JR 45 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.

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. 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. 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. 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 RFQ 2015-127-JR 46 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.
