15. Intentionally omitted.
16. Force Maieure.
(A) A "Force Majeure" event is an event that (i) in fact causes a delay in the performance of
the Contractor or the City's obligations under the Agreement, and (ii) is beyond the
reasonable control of such party unable to perform the obligation, and (iii) is not due to an
intentional act, error, omission, or negligence of such party, and (iv) could not have
reasonably been foreseen and prepared for by such party at any time prior to the
occurrence of the event. Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include
events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, pandemics, terrorism,
sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions, quarantine restrictions, transportation
accidents, strikes, strong hurricanes or tornadoes, earthquakes, or other acts of God
which prevent performance. Force Majeure shall not include technological impossibility,
inclement weather, or failure to secure any of the required permits pursuant to the
Agreement.
(B) If the City or Contractor's performance of its contractual obligations is prevented or
delayed by an event believed by to be Force Majeure, such party shall immediately, upon
learning of the occurrence of the event or of the commencement of any such delay, but in
any case within fifteen (15) business days thereof, provide notice: (i) of the occurrence of
event of Force Majeure, (ii) of the nature of the event and the cause thereof, (iii) of the
Page 8 of 29
Docusign Envelope ID: 20B13FEl-7BB8-48B4-AE54-F5CB5CAAlF77
anticipated impact on the Agreement, (iv) of the anticipated period of the delay, and (v) of
what course of action such party plans to take in order to mitigate the detrimental effects
of the event. The timely delivery of the notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event
is a condition precedent to allowance of any relief pursuant to this section; however,
receipt of such notice shall not constitute acceptance that the event claimed to be a Force
Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure, and the burden of proof of the occurrence of a
Force Majeure event shall be on the requesting party.
(C) No party hereto shall be liable for its failure to carry out its obligations under the Agreement
during a period when such party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by Force Majeure
to carry out such obligations. The suspension of any of the obligations under this
Agreement due to a Force Majeure event shall be of no greater scope and no longer
duration than is required. The party shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to
perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not affected or are
only partially affected by the Force Majeure event, and to correct or cure the event or
condition excusing performance and otherwise to remedy its inability to perform to the
extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure event with all
reasonable dispatch.
(D) Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force
Majeure event, causing the suspension of performance, shall not be excused as a result
of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such performance not reasonably
possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities
which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the
Force Majeure provisions.
(E) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of a Force Majeure
occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, suspend the City's
payment obligations under the Agreement, and may take such action without regard to the
notice requirements herein. Additionally, in the event that an event of Force Majeure
delays a party's performance under the Agreement for a time period greater than thirty
(30) days, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, terminate the
Agreement on a given date, by giving written notice to Contractor of such termination. ff
the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this section, Contractor shall be paid for any
Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination; following which the City
shall be discharged from any and all liabilities, duties, and terms arising out of, or by virtue
of, this Agreement. In no event will any condition of Force Majeure extend this Agreement
beyond its stated Term.
17. Assignment
Contractor shall not assign all or any portion of this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the City Manager, and it is agreed that said consent must be sought in writing by Contractor
not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date of any proposed assignment.

EXHIBIT A
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The City wishes to engage Artist to design, fabricate, transport and install a unique and original
work of art (also referred to herein as the "Artwork" or "Project") at the location described as the
Restroom Structure at Marjory Stoneman Douglas Park (225 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL
33139) (the "Site"). For purposes of this Project, 'Contract Administrator" shall mean: Danielle
Bender, Cultural Affairs Manager.
Artist shall be solely responsible for the quality and timely prosecution, completion and installation
of the Artwork. Artist shall be responsible for designing the Project so that it can be fabricated and
installed without exceeding the approved Project Budget, attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and
incorporated herein.
Artist acknowledges and warrants to City that an essential element of this Agreement is the skill
and creativity of Artist, and that it is solely responsible for the quality of the Project. Artist may not
subcontract and/or assign portions of the Work to another party, without the prior written approval
of the Contract Administrator. Notwithstanding the Contract Administrator's approval of any such
subcontract and/or assignment, Artist will still be held ultimately responsible for all portions of the
Work (as defined below). Artist warrants to City that it shall be solely responsible for supervision
of (and any compensation to) any and all third parties, and that the City shall have no liability
whatsoever, whether financial or otherwise, with regard to same.
Artist agrees that all Work, and the completed Project, shall comply with all applicable Federal,
State, Miami -Dade County and City laws, ordinances, codes and regulations. Artist shall be solely
responsible for obtaining any and all required approvals from all governmental authorities that
have jurisdiction over the Project and for obtaining all applicable permits related to the Project.
Artist shall not make any public information release in connection with the Project without the prior
written consent of the Contract Administrator.
Artist shall perform the Work in such manner and at such times so as not to cause interference
with any of the operations of the City.
Artist shall be solely responsible for conducting any and all inspections of the Site for purposes of
ascertaining the condition of same for the proper execution of the Work, and for completion and
installation of the Project. To the extent any such information is in the City's possession, Contract
Administrator shall make available to Artist, without representation, any background materials and
information on matters affecting the Site.
When working on the Site, Artist shall promptly perform such periodic clean up as may be required
by the Contract Administrator, and shall also remove any of its equipment, excess materials, and
waste promptly from the Site, as directed by Contract Administrator.
Artist shall bear any transportation and storage costs resulting from the fabrication, delivery,
storage, and installation of the Artwork.
Title to the Artwork shall pass to the City 1) following the Contract Administrator's inspection of
the Work; and 2) if the Work is approved, upon Contract Administrator's issuance of written final
acceptance of the complete installed Project. Any risk of loss or damage to the Artwork shall be
Docusign Envelope ID: 20B13FEl-7BB8-48B4-AE54-F5CB5CAAlF77
the sole responsibility and liability of Artist until such time as the Contract Administrator has issued
a final written acceptance of the Project.
Upon Contract Administrator's written final acceptance of the Project, all documents related to
the design, fabrication, and installation of the Project including, without limitation, "as built"
documents, shall be turned over to the Contract Administrator and become the exclusive
property of the City. The City shall be free to exhibit and/or reproduce these documents as it
deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion.
The responsibility of the Artist after final acceptance of the Project by the City is limited to the
warranties in the Artist's Warranties, below; any terms pertaining to the Artist which are therein
expressly intended to survive termination and/or expiration of this Agreement; and any acts of
gross negligence and intentional wrongdoing by the Artist.
ARTIST'S WARRANTIES
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Agreement.
Artist warrants to the City that (a) the Project being commissioned is the original product of Artist's
own creative efforts; and (b) the Project is original, or in other words, an edition of one
(1), and shall in no way be duplicated, copied, and/or otherwise replicated by Artist with respect
to any future commissioned public or private projects.

from any source whatsoever.
Artist warrants to the City that the Artwork is to be free from defective or inferior materials and
workmanship for two (2) years after the date of final written acceptance by the City, including any
defects or qualities causing or accelerating deterioration. If within these two (2) years the City
finds the Artwork in need of repair due to any of the above stated conditions, such repairs will be
made at no expense to the City promptly and satisfactorily. For the avoidance of doubt, Artist shall
not be responsible for repairs of the Work due to willful damage by others after the City's
acceptance of the work.
If Artist fails to remedy any failure, defect, or damage within a reasonable time after receipt of
notice from City, the City shall have the right to replace, repair, or otherwise remedy the failure,
defect, or damage at the Artist's expense.

ALTERATIONS OF THE SITE OR OF THE ARTWORK
The City agrees to make all reasonable efforts to maintain the integrity of the Artwork. It is an
inherent nature of any site to be vulnerable to physical alterations of varying degrees that may
arise out of a functional need consistent with its intended design and usage and/or the operational
requirements of the Site. Respectively, the integrity and authenticity of the Artwork may become
compromised by an alteration of the Site if the Artwork is an integral component of the Site. It is
with the express understanding above that the Artist hereby agrees to waive all rights to monetary
compensation for any acts arising out of operational requirements which may cause alterations
to the Site and/or the Artwork.
The City shall notify the Artist of any proposed alteration of the Artwork or of the Site that would
affect the intended character and appearance of the Artwork, and shall consult with the Artist in
the planning of any such alteration. If any such alteration of the Site or of the Artwork is made
without the express written approval of the Artist, the Artist may elect, upon a minimum advance
written notice of five (5) business days, to enter upon the Site and, at Artist's sole cost and
expense, remove or obliterate the public notice, plaque or sign referred to above, as well as any
signature or other emblem identifying the Artist with the Artwork, and may take such other action
as he/she may choose in order to disavow the Artwork.
The City agrees to take such reasonable measures, as it deems necessary, in its reasonable
discretion, to maintain the Artwork. City shall have the right to determine, after consultation with
a professional conservator, when (and if) repairs and restorations to the Artwork will be made.
The City shall attempt to notify Artist in the same manner as provided in this Section and, in the
event the City has made reasonable efforts, without success, to notify Artist of its intended action,
City shall have no further liability to Artist, and Artist shall be deemed to have waived any and all
claims that it may have against City, as a result of such repairs or restoration to the Artwork, or in
the event of any resulting damage or destruction of the Artwork, to the extent practical, the City
may, in its sole discretion, consider Artist in making or personally supervising significant repairs
or restorations. If City deems Artist's participation is necessary, in the City's sole discretion, Artist
Page 17 of 29
Docusign Envelope ID: 20B13FEl-7BB8-4884-AE54-F5CB5CAAlF77
shall be paid a reasonable fee for any such services, provided that City and Artist shall agree, in
writing, prior to the commencement of any significant repairs or restorations, upon said fee. All
repairs and restorations shall be made in accordance with recognized principles of conservation.
If the Artist fails or refuses to approve any repair or restoration, the City shall have the right to
make such repair or restoration. To the extent practical, as determined by the City at its sole
discretion, the Artist shall be given the opportunity to make or personally supervise significant
repairs and restorations and the Artist may, at the discretion of the City, be paid a reasonable fee
for any such service, provided that both parties prior to the execution of such services mutually
agree upon the fee in writing.
