taken off of the project by Architect without the prior written approval of the City of
Nashua, except in the event of termination of employment. Architect 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.
. CITY OF NASHUA REPRESENTATIVE The City of Nashua may designate a City of Nashua
representative for this contract. If designated, all notices, project materials, requests by
Architect, and any other communication about the contract shall be addressed or be
delivered to the City of Nashua Representative.
. CHANGES TO SCOPE OF WoRK The City of Nashua may, at any time, by written order,
make 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
Architect's performance under the contract. Architect 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 Architect should proceed
with any or all of the proposed change. If the change causes an increase or a decrease in
Architect'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
Architect for adjustment under this clause shall be asserted in writing within 30 days of
the date the City of Nashua notified Architect of the change.
When Architect seeks changes, Architect 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 Architect should proceed with any or all of the proposed change.
Except as provided in this paragraph, Architect 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 Architect in the performance of its work under this contract and that such
personnel will be available to Architect for consultation at reasonable times and after
being given sufficient advance notice that will prevent conflict with their other
responsibilities. The City of Nashua also agrees to provide Architect with access to City
of Nashua 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 Architect also agree to attend all meetings called by the City of
Nashua or Architect to discuss the work under the Contract, and that Architect may elect
