PREAMBLE
In order to establish the background, context and frame of reference for this
Agreement and to generally express the objectives and intentions of the respective
parties herein, the following statements, representations and explanations shall be
accepted as predicates for the undertakings and commitments included within the
provisions which follow and may be relied upon by the parties as essential elements of
the mutual considerations upon which this Agreement is based.
2.1 CITY has met the requirements of the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation
Act, as set forth in Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, and has selected
CONSULTANT to perform the work of the specified nature as outlined in this
Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement qualifies as a "continuing contract"
under section 287.055 (2) (g), F.S.
2.2 Negotiations pertaining to the services to be performed by CONSULTANT were
undertaken between CONSULTANT and CITY, and this Agreement
incorporates the results of such negotiations.

AUTHORIZATION. CONSULTANT shall provide all services as set forth in the
WORK AUTHORIZATION including, without limitations, all necessary,
incidental and related activities and services required.

written CITY approval is at CONSULTANT's sole risk.
ARTICLE 4
TIME OF PERFORMANCE

the CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR promptly in writing whenever a delay is
anticipated or experienced, and to inform the CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR
of all facts and details related to the delay.

(2) hours to requests, but under no circumstances, shall response time exceed
four (4) hours, unless otherwise approved by the CONTRACT
