SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE. A. Before making any additions or deletions to the work described in the Agreement, and before undertaking any changes or revisions to such work, the parties will negotiate any necessary cost changes and will enter into a Supplemental Agreement covering such work and compensation. Reference herein to the Agreement will be considered to include any Supplemental Agreement. B. In the performance of professional services, the Consultant will use that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other similar professionals in the field under similar conditions in similar localities. The Consultant will use due care in performing its services and will have due regard for acceptable engineering standards and principles. Consultant's standard of care shall not be altered by the application, interpretation, or construction of any other provision of this Agreement. C. The Consultant agrees to provide project schedule progress reports in a format acceptable to the Department and at intervals established by the Department. The Department will be entitled at all times to be advised, at its request, as to the status of work being done by the Consultant and of the details thereof. Coordination will be maintained by the Consultant with representatives of the Department, or of other agencies interested in the project on behalf of the Department. Either party to the Agreement may request and be granted a conference. D. All services will be performed by the Consultant to the satisfaction of the Director who will decide all questions, difficulties and disputes of any nature whatsoever that may arise under or by reason of the Agreement, the prosecution and fulfillment of the services hereunder and the character, quality, amount and value thereof; and the decision upon all claims, questions and disputes will be final and binding upon the parties hereto. Adjustments of compensation and contract time because of any major changes in the work that may become necessary or desirable as the work progresses will be subject to mutual agreement of the parties, and Supplemental Agreement(s) of such a nature as required will be entered into by the parties in accordance herewith. In the event that the Consultant and the Department are not able to reach an agreement as to the amount of compensation to be paid to the Consultant for supplemental work desired by the Department, the Consultant will be obligated to proceed with the supplemental work in a timely manner for the amount determined by the Department to be reasonable. In such event, the Consultant will have the right to file a claim with the Department for such additional amounts as the consultant deems reasonable; however, in no event will the filing of the claim or the resolution or litigation thereof through administrative procedures or the courts relieve the Consultant from the obligation to timely perform the supplemental work. E. In the event the work covered by this Agreement includes the preparation of construction plans, it is understood that the work may be divided into two or more construction projects by the Director and that, if this is done, the Consultant will supply construction plans for each project. F. The Consultant is authorized to use the Department's computer facilities utilizing Department programs required for the performance of the services herein. The Consultant will identify the programs required and submit a written request to the Department's Project Manager for approval. G. All design work performed by the Consultant for projects where anticipated construction cost is one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more will be subject to Value Engineering. The Department further reserves the right to subject projects of lesser construction cost to Value Engineering should the Department deem circumstances are present that warrant such a decision. Value Engineering may be performed at any stage of the design process. Unless specifically identified in the Agreement, the Consultant will not be required to perform the Value Engineering analysis. X. H. The Consultant will not be liable for use by the Department of plans, documents, studies or other data for any purpose other than intended by the terms of this Consultant Agreement. I. All tracings, plans, specifications, maps, computer files and/or reports prepared or obtained under this Agreement, as well as all data collected, together with summaries and charts derived therefrom, will be considered works made for hire and will become the property of the Department upon completion or termination without restriction or limitation on their use and will be made available, upon request, to the Department at any time during the performance of such services and/or upon completion or termination of this Agreement. Upon delivery to the Department of said document(s), the Department will become the custodian thereof in accordance with Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. The Consultant will not copyright any material and products or patent any invention developed under this agreement. The Department will have the right to visit the site for inspection of the work and the products of the Consultant at any time.
