a witness against the City in any litigation or administrative proceeding will constitute a conflict of
interest under this Agreement.
19 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Contractor expressly agrees to comply with all laws and
regulations relating to providing services under this Agreement. The failure of the Contractor to
adhere to any known law or regulation pertaining to furnishing services under this Agreement
shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
20. WAIVER. The waiver by the City of any of the Contractor's obligations or duties under this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other obligation or duty of the Contractor under
this Agreement.
21. PUBLIC ENTITY CRIME. The Contractor shall file a sworn statement with the City which is
attached hereto, stating whether a person or affiliate as defined in Section 287.133 (1), Florida

paragraph, the City shall have the right to terminate the Agreement without liability and, at its

commission, percentage, gift or consideration.

the Work are in safe and proper operating condition and free of defects. Such guarantee shall in
no way limit or relieve the Contractor of liability from subsequent claims or breach of contract due

poor workmanship, use of defective tools and equipment, damaged through carelessness or from
other cause shall be corrected within ten (10) days after written notice is given by the City. The

following manner: If the City identifies any Work Unit or portion thereof as service deficient, the

corrected to the satisfaction of the City within the time frame provided, the City may have the

costs from monies due to the primary Contractor.
The Contractor acknowledges that due to the nature of the Work under this Agreement, time is of
the essence. The Contractor also acknowledges the difficulties involved in proving the actual

4. SCOPE OF SERVICES AND RELATED DATA. The intent of the scope of services and other
Agreement Documents is that the Contractor furnishes all labor, supplies and materials, tools and
equipment, supervision and transportation necessary for the proper execution of the Work unless
specifically noted otherwise. The Contractor shall do all the Work described in the Agreement
Documents and all incidental Work considered necessary to complete the Work and/or operation
in a manner acceptable to the City.
Any discrepancies found between the scope of services and site conditions, or any errors or

any claim for extra compensation, but the said Work must be performed and completed the same
as if called for by the Agreement Documents. All Work, equipment, tools, supplies and material
usual and necessary to make the Work complete in all its parts, whether or not they are indicated
or mentioned in the scope of services, shall be furnished and executed the same as if they were

provisions of the latter shall prevail.

make claim for extra compensation before Work begins on which the claim is based. If

acceptable to the City for keeping strict account of actual cost, then the contractor hereby
waives its request for such extra compensation. The City is not obligated to pay the
Contractor if the City is not notified as described above. Such notice by the Contractor

be construed as proving the validity of the claim.

rate. The annual cost represents the current amount of maintenance the listed areas
