The Architect shall provide prompt written notice to the CITY if the ARCHITECT becomes aware of any error, omission, or inconsistency in such services or information.

The time for Page 2 completion and ARCHITECT'S compensation therefor will be defined in each such Task Order. SECTION 6 COMPENSATION 6,1 COMPENSATION ON A TIME SPENT BASIS AT SPECIFIC HOURLY RATES: For the services described in Exhibit A, Task Order 1 — Pre -Design, compensation shall include ARCHITECT's actual hours, billable at the hourly rates as set forth in Exhibit B - Schedule of Specific Hourly Rates, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, on a time spent basis plus reimbursement for direct non -salary expenses. These rates are subject to 5% yearly increases that go into effect on the January 1st of each year. 6.1.1 DIRECT NON -SALARY EXPENSES: Direct Non -Salary Expenses are those costs incurred on or directly for the PROJECT including, but not limited to, necessary transportation costs, including current rates for ARCHITECT'S vehicles; meals and lodging; laboratory tests and analyses; printing, binding and reproduction charges; all costs associated with other outside nonprofessional services and facilities; special CITY - requested and PROJECT -related insurance and performance warranty costs; and other similar costs.

The ARCHITECT shall make reasonable efforts to complete the WORK within this budget and will keep CITY informed of progress toward that end so that the budget or WORK effort can be adjusted if found necessary. However, the ARCHITECT will not be obligated to incur costs with markup in the performance of any Task Order beyond the budget indicated therein, as may be adjusted, nor is the CITY obligated to pay the ARCHITECT beyond such limits, as may be adjusted. When the budget for any Task Order has been increased, the ARCHITECT'S excess costs expended prior to such increase will be allowable to the same extent as if such costs had been incurred after the approved increase, provided that the City was informed in writing at the time such costs were incurred. Page 3 6.3 The ARCHITECT shall submit to the City's Representative an invoice each month for payment for PROJECT services completed through the accounting cut-off day of the previous month. Such invoices shall be for PROJECT services and WORK performed and costs incurred prior to the date of the invoice which the CITY has not paid for under a previously submitted invoice. The ARCHITECT shall submit with each invoice a summary of time expended on the PROJECT for the current billing period, copies of subconsultant invoices, and any other supporting materials and details reasonably necessary for the City to substantiate the costs incurred. CITY will pay any approved portion of such invoices within thirty (30) days of receipt. CITY will notify the ARCHITECT promptly if any problems are noted with the invoice. CITY may question any item in an invoice, noting to ARCHITECT the questionable item(s) and withholding payment for such item(s) unless and until reasonable substantiating documentation is provided to resolve the questioned item(s). The ARCHITECT may resubmit such item(s) in a subsequent invoice together with additional supporting information requested. 6.4 If payment is not made within sixty (60) days following receipt of approved invoices, interest on the unpaid balance shall accrue beginning with the sixty-first (61s') day at the rate of 1.0% per month or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, whichever is less; provided, however, that no interest shall accrue pursuant to Chapter 39.76 RCW when before the date of timely payment a notice of dispute is issued in good faith by the CITY to the ARCHITECT pursuant to the terms of RCW 39.76.020(4). 6.5 Final payment of any balance due the ARCHITECT for PROJECT services will be made within forty-five (45) days after satisfactory completion of the services required by this Agreement as evidenced by CITY's written acceptance and after such audit or verification as CITY may deem necessary, together and ARCHITECT's execution and delivery of a release of all known payment claims against CITY arising under or by virtue of this Agreement, other than such payment claims, if any, as may be specifically exempted by the ARCHITECT from the operation of the release in stated amounts to be set forth therein. 6.6 Payment for any PROJECT services and WORK shall not constitute a waiver or release by CITY of any claims, right, or remedy it may have against the ARCHITECT under this Agreement or by law, nor shall such payment constitute a waiver, remission, or discharge by CITY of any failure or fault of the ARCHITECT to satisfactorily perform the PROJECT WORK as required under this Agreement.

CITY'S review, approval, or payment for any of the services shall not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement or at law or any cause of action arising out of the performance of this Agreement. 7.3 In performing WORK and services hereunder, the ARCHITECT and its subcontractors, subconsultants, employees, agents, and representatives shall be acting as independent contractors and shall not be deemed or construed to be employees or agents of CITY in any manner whatsoever. The ARCHITECT shall not hold itself out as, nor claim to be, an officer or employee of CITY by reason hereof and shall not make any claim, demand, or application to or for any right or privilege applicable to an officer or employee of CITY. The ARCHITECT shall be Page 4 solely responsible for any claims for wages or compensation by ARCHITECT's employees, agents, and representatives, including subconsultants and subcontractors, and shall save and hold CITY harmless therefrom, so long as the claim does not arise from the CITY's wrongful failure to make required payments under this AGREEMENT. 7.4 INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS: a, ARCHITECT shall take all reasonable precautions in performing the WORK to prevent injury to persons or property.

Industrial Insurance Act Waiver. It is specifically and expressly understood that the ARCHITECT waives any immunity that may be granted to it under the Washington State industrial insurance act, Title 51 RCW, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. ARCHITECT's indemnification shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount of damages, compensation or benefits payable to or by any third party under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts or any other benefits acts or programs. ARCHITECT shall require that its subcontractors, and anyone directly or indirectly employed or hired by ARCHITECT, and anyone for whose acts ARCHITECT may be liable in connection with its performance of this Agreement, comply with the terms of this paragraph, waive any immunity granted under Title 51 RCW, and assume all potential liability for actions brought by their respective employees. The Parties acknowledge that they have mutually negotiated this waiver. c.

Nothing contained in this Section or this Agreement shall be construed to create a liability or a right of indemnification in any third party. e. The terms of this Section shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. 7.5 In any and all claims by an employee of the ARCHITECT, its subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or types of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the ARCHITECT or a subcontractor under workers' or workmens' compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. The ARCHITECT specifically and expressly waives its immunity under the Industrial Insurance Act, Title 51, RCW. Such waiver has been mutually negotiated by the ARCHITECT and the CITY. 7.6 it is understood that any inspection of the eventual construction contractor's work provided by ARCHITECT is for the purpose of determining compliance with the technical provisions of PROJECT specifications and does not constitute any form of guarantee or insurance with respect to the performance of a contractor, ARCHITECT does not assume responsibility for methods or appliances used by a contractor, for a contractor's safety programs or methods, or for contractors' compliance with laws and regulations. CITY shall use its best efforts to ensure that any construction contract associated with the services provided under this AGREEMENT will require that the contractor(s) indemnify and name CITY, ARCHITECT, and the CITY's and the ARCHITECT's officers, principals, employees, agents, representatives, and engineers as additional insureds on contractor's insurance policies covering the PROJECT, exclusive of insurance for ARCHITECT professional liability.
