conformance with Consultant’s representations set forth in this Agreement, the
Consultant must have and maintain the requisite judgment, discretion, and
responsibility for and control of the performance of the Services, the discipline of

and advice as deemed appropriate by the Consultant, represents to the City that
this Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, employer/employee
or other relationship with the City other than that of an independent contractor and
the Consultant understands that the City reasonably relied upon such
representation in the City’s execution of this Agreement.
3.3 Liability for Employment-Related Rights and Compensation. The Consultant is

3.5 Personnel Issues. The Consultant acknowledges that certain key personnel, such
as those individuals employed by the Consultant to manage, supervise, direct, or
plan for providing the Services contemplated by this Agreement, may have an
impact on the favorable outcome of the project and on the stewardship of City
funds toward providing the Services. Therefore, the Consultant shall employ key
personnel that will provide the Services in a professional manner. In the event the

this Agreement, the Consultant will engage in the process described in this Section
upon notice of the City’s dissatisfaction. The City may provide notice of
dissatisfaction to the Consultant. Such notification must include the factual
circumstances giving rise to the dissatisfaction and a request for a transfer or
reassignment of such employee off of the City’s Services. After receipt of such

of the notice, the Consultant shall in good faith resolve the City’s dissatisfaction
with the Consultant’s employee or agent. If the City’s dissatisfaction persists after
the thirty (30) calendar days, either because the Consultant has taken no action or
the Consultant’s action did not resolve the issue, the City is permitted to provide a
second notice of such dissatisfaction to the Consultant. Within five (5) calendar
days of the date of the second notice, the Consultant shall offer to remediate the
dissatisfaction with at least one of the following options: (1) remove the employee
from performing any work for the City; (2) restrict, in any manner, the work done
for the City by the Consultant’s employee; or (3) reassign its employees to a
different position in performance of the Services, provided such reassignment is
acceptable to the City. Upon the City’s acceptance of such offer, the Consultant

discipline, terminate, assign, or otherwise manage or control its workforce.

subcontractors for the performance of certain Services. The Consultant’s
engagement or use of subcontractors will not relieve or excuse the Consultant from

Agreement.

written request from the City, or any of its duly authorized representatives, for
