8. INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT. Both parties hereto in the performance
of this Agreement will be acting in an independent capacity and not as agents, employees,

CONSULTANT's employees are employee of the CITY and are not entitled to any of the rights,
benefits, or privileges of the CITY's employees, including but not limited to retirement, medical,
unemployment, or workers' compensation insurance.
This Agreement contemplates the personal services of the
CONSULTANT and the CONSULTANT's employees, and it is recognized by the parties that a
substantial inducement to the CITY for entering into this Agreement was, and is, the
professional reputation and competence of the CONSULTANT and its employees. Neither this
Agreement nor any interest herein may be assigned by the CONSULTANT without the prior
written consent of the CITY. Nothing herein contained is intended to prevent the CONSULTANT
from employing or hiring as many employees, or subCONSULTANTs, as the
CONSULTANT may deem necessary for the proper and efficient performance of this
Agreement. All agreements by CONSULTANT with its subCONSULTANT(s) shall require the
subCONSULTANT to adhere to the applicable terms of this Agreement.

have any control over the conduct of the CONSULTANT or any of the CONSULTANT's
employees except as herein set forth, and the CONSULTANT expressly agrees not to

in any manner agents, servants or employees of the CITY, it being understood that the
CONSULTANT, its agents, servants, and employees are as to the CITY wholly independent
CONSULTANTs and that the CONSULTANT's obligations to the CITY are solely such as are
prescribed by this Agreement.
10. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. The CONSULTANT, in the
performance of the services to be provided herein, shall comply with all applicable State and
Federal statutes and regulations, and all applicable ordinances, rules and regulations of the City

covenants that it has all licenses, permits, qualifications, and approvals of whatever nature that
are legally required to practice its profession. The CONSULTANT represents and covenants
that the CONSULTANT shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect at all times during the
term of this Agreement, any license, permit, or approval which is legally required for the
CONSULTANT to practice its profession.

furnishing of materials or services relating thereto.
C. The CONSULTANT is responsible for identifying any unique
products, treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success of the
project the CONSULTANT has been retained to perform, within the time requirements of the
CITY, or, when no time is specified, then within a commercially reasonable time. Accordingly,
unless the CONSULTANT has notified the CITY otherwise, the CONSULTANT warrants that all
products, materials, processes or treatments identified in the project documents prepared for
the CITY are reasonably commercially available. Any failure by the CONSULTANT to use due
diligence under this sub -paragraph will render the CONSULTANT liable to the CITY for any
increased costs that result from the CITY's later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time frame
specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.
13. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONSULTANT shall not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age, race, color,
ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or
medical condition. The CONSULTANT will take positive action to insure that applicants are
employed without regard to their age, race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or medical condition. Such action shall
include but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer,
recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of
compensation, and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The CONSULTANT agrees
to post in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment any
notices provided by the CITY setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.
14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The CITY may from time to time
communicate to the CONSULTANT certain confidential information to enable the
CONSULTANT to effectively perform the services to be provided herein. The CONSULTANT
shall treat all such information as confidential and shall not disclose any part thereof without the
prior written consent of the CITY. The CONSULTANT shall limit the use and circulation of such
information, even within its own organization, to the extent necessary to perform the services to
be provided herein. The foregoing obligation of this Section 13, however, shall not apply to any
part of the information that (i) has been disclosed in publicly available sources of information; (ii)
is, through no fault of the CONSULTANT, hereafter disclosed in publicly available sources of
information; (iii) is already in the possession of the CONSULTANT without any obligation of
confidentiality; or (iv) has been or is hereafter rightfully disclosed to the CONSULTANT by a
third party, but only to the extent that the use or disclosure thereof has been or is rightfully
authorized by that third party.
The CONSULTANT shall not disclose any reports, recommendations,
conclusions or other results of the services or the existence of the subject matter of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the CITY. In its performance hereunder, the
CONSULTANT shall comply with all legal obligations it may now or hereafter have respecting
the information or other property of any other person, firm or corporation.

not be considered in determining the amount of the judgment or award. Attorney's fees to the
prevailing party if other than the CITY shall, in addition, be limited to the amount of attorney's
fees incurred by the CITY in its prosecution or defense of the action, irrespective of the actual
