This Agreement will be supplemented, upon project award, by individual Work Orders
specifying project scopes, payment, and price information, for providing the services to the
City, in the applicable service categories. Selection into the Pool does not guarantee work and
does not provide for exclusive rights to provide these services to the City.
At the City's discretion, Consultants may be dropped from the Pool for lack of participation,
which shall include failure over a reasonable time to propose on Work Order requests offered
through the Pool, poor performance on a Work Order, being in arrears in obligations to the

through the Pool. After selection into the Pool, Consultants will participate on requests for
consulting service through Work Order requests. When projects arise, the City will provide
Consultants in the applicable service category_ , with information regarding the selection
process and response requirements, which may include written proposals and potentially oral
presentations. Recommendations for competitive awards will be made generally based on
quality and/or price. The City reserves the right to develop an alternative, streamlined process
for awarding Work Orders.

The City reserves the right to enter into negotiations with the recommended Consultant. If the
City and the recommended Consultant cannot negotiate a successful agreement, the City
may terminate said negotiations and begin negotiations with the next Consultant. Additionally,
the maximum hourly rates in this Agreement shall in no way preclude the City from negotiating
for lower hourly rates for specific Work Orders, No Consultant shall have any rights against
the City, arising from such negotiations.
