compensation, promptly remedy and correct any errors, omissions, or other deficiencies.
The Professional shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the City, its officers and

as outlined in Exhibit A. Monthly partial payments based upon the Professional's billings
and itemized statements of reimbursable direct costs are permissible. The amounts of all

proper decisions with reference to the project. All requests for contract interpretations,
change orders, and other clarification or instruction shall be directed to the City
Representative.
7. Independent Contractor. The services to be performed by Professional are those of an
independent contractor and not of an employee of the City of Fort Collins. The City shall
not be responsible for withholding any portion of Professional's compensation hereunder
for the payment of FICA, Workers' Compensation, other taxes or benefits or for any other
purpose.
8. Subcontractors. Professional may not subcontract any of the Work set forth in the Exhibit
A, Statement of Work without the prior written consent of the city, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If any of the Work is subcontracted hereunder (with the consent of
the City), then the following provisions shall apply: (a) the subcontractor must be a
reputable, qualified firm with an established record of successful performance in its
respective trade performing identical or substantially similar work, (b) the subcontractor will
be required to comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement, (c) the subcontract will

9. Personal Services. It is understood that the City enters into the Agreement based on the
special abilities of the Professional and that this Agreement shall be considered as an
agreement for personal services. Accordingly, the Professional shall neither assign any
responsibilities nor delegate any duties arising under the Agreement without the prior
written consent of the City.
10. Acceptance Not Waiver. The City's approval of drawings, designs, plans, specifications,
reports, and incidental work or materials furnished hereunder shall not in any way relieve
the Professional of responsibility for the quality or technical accuracy of the work. The
City's approval or acceptance of, or payment for, any of the services shall not be
construed to operate as a waiver of any rights or benefits provided to the City under this
Agreement.
11. Default. Each and every term and condition hereof shall be deemed to be a material
element of this Agreement. In the event either party should fail or refuse to perform
according to the terms of this agreement, such party may be declared in default.
12. Remedies. In the event a party has been declared in default, such defaulting party shall
be allowed a period of ten (10) days within which to cure said default. In the event the
default remains uncorrected, the party declaring default may elect to (a) terminate the
Agreement and seek damages; (b) treat the Agreement as continuing and require specific
performance; or (c) avail himself of any other remedy at law or equity. If the non-
defaulting party commences legal or equitable actions against the defaulting party, the
defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for the non-defaulting party's
reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred because of the default.
13. Binding Effect. This writing, together with the exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties and shall be binding upon said parties, their officers,
employees, agents and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the respective survivors,
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of said parties.
14. Law/Severability. The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern the construction,
interpretation, execution and enforcement of this Agreement. In the event any provision
of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision
of this Agreement.
15. Prohibition Against Employing Illegal Aliens. Pursuant to Section 8-17.5-101, C.R.S., et.
seq., Professional represents and agrees that:

informed that the City has established policies and procedures with regard to the handling of
confidential information and other sensitive materials.
In consideration of access to certain information, data and material (hereinafter individually and

other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
