In consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations herein expressed, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Scope of the Work. The Artist must furnish all of the materials and perform all of the work for
the Downtown Trash Enclosure Mural Project as shown on the drawings and described in the
specifications attached as Exhibit “A” and incorporated by reference into this Agreement (the
“Project”). The Project consists in general terms of the design, signage and painting of a mural
on the wall of the Downtown Trash Enclosure. The Artist’s work must be of high quality, in
compliance with generally accepted standards of workmanship, and in conformity with this
Agreement.
2. Time of Completion. The City will issue a Notice to Proceed. Artist must begin the Project
promptly upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed and must fully complete the Project by August
31, 2017. Any extensions of this time limit must be agreed upon in writing by the parties. The
City will grant the Artist a reasonable extension of time if there is a delay on the part of the City
in performing its obligations under this Agreement or if conditions beyond the Artist’s control or
Acts of God render timely performance of the Artist’s services impossible.
3. Capital Project Management Control System. In order to ensure that the Project is consistent
with its authorized scope and schedule, the Artist must provide an approximate schedule for
the completion of all unit work items covered by the Agreement. The Artist must submit the
initial schedule to the City prior to beginning the work.
4. City Representative. On or before the date the City issues its Notice to Proceed the City will
designate its project representative who will make all necessary and proper decisions with
reference to the Project within the scope of his or her authority. The Artist must direct all
requests for contract interpretations, change orders, or other clarification or instruction to the
City representative.
5. Changes to Scope of Work.
A. Changes by Artist. The Artist cannot change the Project specifications and drawings in
Exhibit “A” without advance written approval from the City.
B. Changes by the City. The City may request changes in the design and construction of the
Project through written Change Order Requests. The Artist and the City will then negotiate
in good faith to reach agreement on any necessary changes in price or scheduling
requirements. Once the parties have reached agreement, the City will issue a written
Change Order documenting the agreed upon terms. The Artist must not proceed with work
related to the requested change until the City issues the Change Order.

8. Guarantee of Workmanship and Material. For a period of three (3) years from the date of the
City's Letter of Acceptance, Artist agrees to replace or correct any material defects in the

Project. If Artist fails to replace or correct any such defects, or to make arrangements to do so
within a reasonable time satisfactory to the City, the City has the right to arrange for such
replacement or correction, and Artist must reimburse the City for the costs of any such
replacement or correction. If the City asks Artist to repair damage caused to the Project by

City will reimburse Artist for reasonable material and labor costs for such repairs, except to the
extent such damage is due to a defect in design, workmanship or materials used in the Project.
9. Maintenance. Artist must provide to the City a disk of digital images depicting a total of at least
eight views of the completed Project. Artist also agrees to provide continuing advice to the
City regarding the operation, care, maintenance and repair of the Project at no charge to the

and deletions provided herein, the sum of Two Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) on
the following schedule:
A. $1,000. upon full execution of this Agreement;

use any such sums toward completion of the Project in any manner the City deems

the event the Project is not completed within the time set forth above, as adjusted for any
delays agreed upon by the parties pursuant to Section 2, above. In recognition of the difficulty
