status of and shall perform all work under this contract as a Professional Engineer, maintaining
control over all its consultants, sub consultants, contractors, or subcontractors. The only contractual
relationship created by this contract is between the City of Nashua and Professional Engineer, and

(6) Unemployment compensation coverage provided by the City of Nashua.

STANDARD OF CARE Professional Engineer shall be responsible for the professional quality,
technical accuracy, timely completion, and coordination of all work performed under this contract.
The standard of care of the Professional Engineer’s is the degree of professional skill, care,
diligence, and sound practices and judgment that are normally exercised by recognized professional
firms with respect to services of a similar nature. It shall be the duty of Professional Engineer 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 Engineer shall, at its
own expense and without additional compensation, re-perform work to correct or revise any
deficiencies, omissions, or errors in the work or the product of the work or which result from
Professional Engineer's failure to perform in accordance with this standard of care. Any approval
by the City of Nashua of any products or services furnished or used by Professional Engineer shall
not in any way relieve Professional Engineer of the responsibility for professional and technical
accuracy and adequacy of its work. City of Nashua review, approval, or acceptance of, or payment
for any of Professional Engineer's work under this contract shall not operate as a waiver of any of
the City of Nashua's nghts or causes of action under this contract, and Professional Engineer shall
be and remain liable in accordance with the terms of the contract and applicable law.

Professional Engineer shall furish competent and skilled personnel to perform the work under this
contract. The City of Nashua reserves the right to approve key personnel assigned by Professional
Engineer to perform work under this contract. Approved key personnel shall not be taken off of
the project by Professional Engineer without the prior written approval of the City of Nashua,
except in the event of termination of employment. Professional Engineer shall, if requested to do
so by the City of Nashua, remove from the job any personnel whom the City of Nashua determines
to be incompetent, dishonest, or uncooperative.

representative for this contract. If designated, all notices, project materials, requests by

GC 2 of 11

Professional Engineer, and any other communication about the contract shall be addressed or be

changes to the general scope, character, or cost of this contract and in the services or work to be
performed, either increasing or decreasing the scope, character, or cost of Professional Engineer's
performance under the contract. Professional Engineer shall 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 adequately analyze the proposal. The City of Nashua will then
determine in writing if Professional Engineer should proceed with any or all of the proposed
change. If the change causes an increase or a decrease in Professional Engineer'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 Engineer for adjustment under
this clause shall be asserted in writing within 30 days of the date the City of Nashua notified
Professional Engineer of the change.

When Professional Engineer seeks changes, Professional Engineer shall, before any work
commences, estimate their effect on the cost of the contract and on its schedule and notify the City
of Nashua in writing of the estimate. 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 adequately analyze the proposal. The City of Nashua will then determine in writing
if Professional Engineer should proceed with any or all of the proposed change.

Except as provided in this paragraph, Professional Engineer shall implement no change unless the
City of Nashua in writing approves the change. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the
provisions of this contract shall apply to all changes. The City of Nashua may provide verbal
approval of a change when the City of Nashua, in its sole discretion, determines that time is critical
or public health and safety are of concern. Any verbal approval shall be confirmed in writing as
soon as practicable. Any change undertaken without prior City of Nashua approval shall not be
compensated and is, at the City of Nashua's election, sufficient reason for contract termination.

CITY OF NASHUA COOPERATION The City of Nashua agrees that its personnel will cooperate
with Professional Engineer in the performance of its work under this contract and that such
personnel will be available to Professional Engineer for consultation at reasonable times and after
being given sufficient advance notice that will prevent conflict with their other responsibilities.

records in a reasonable time and manner and to schedule items that require action by the Board of
Public Works and Finance Committee in a timely manner. The City of Nashua and Professional
Engineer also agree to attend all meetings called by the City of Nashua or Professional Engineer to
discuss the work under the Contract, and that Professional Engineer may elect to conduct and record
such meetings and shall later distribute prepared minutes of the meeting to the City of Nashua.
