nature. It shall be the duty of Professional Consultant to assure at its own expense that all
work is technically sound and in conformance with all applicable federal, state, and local
laws, statutes, regulations, ordinances, orders, or other requirements. In addition to all
other rights which the City of Nashua may have, Professional Consultant shall, at its own

responsibility for professional and technical accuracy and adequacy of its work. City of

provide to the City of Nashua within 10 calendar days, a written proposal for accomplishing
the change. The proposal for a change shall provide enough detail, including personnel
hours for each sub-task and cost breakdowns of tasks, for the City of Nashua to be able to

Professional Consultant should proceed with any or all of the proposed change. If the
change causes an increase or a decrease in Professional Consultant's cost or time required
for performance of the contract as a whole, an equitable adjustment shall be made and the
contract accordingly modified in writing. Any claim of Professional Consultant for
adjustment under this clause shall be asserted in writing within 30 days of the date the City
