AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES <br />This Agreement For Professional Services (this "Agreement") is entered into on May 14, <br />2019 (the "Effective Date"), by and between the City of South Bend, acting by and through its <br />Board of Public Works (the "City"), and Elizabeth Inks, an Indiana resident (the "Provider") (each <br />a "Party" and collectively the "Parties"). <br />For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the Parties <br />agree as follows: <br />1. Services. The Provider will provide to the City the professional services (the <br />"Services") set forth in the statement of work attached hereto as Exhibit, A (the "SOW"), which <br />SOW is incorporated herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and <br />the terms of the SOW, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. The Provider will execute her <br />obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the prevailing professional standard of care <br />for projects of similar design and complexity. <br />2. Compensation. In exchange for the Provider's satisfactory performance of the <br />Services, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City will pay the Provider <br />the hourly fees stated in the SOW in a total amount not to exceed Thirty -Seven Thousand Five <br />Hundred Dollars ($37,500.00) (the "Contract Amount"). The City will pay the Contract Amount <br />in installments upon invoicing by the Provider as set forth in the SOW (each a "Contract <br />Installment"). The City will not be required to pay any Contract Installment if the City is not <br />satisfied with the Provider's performance under this Agreement or any default or breach of this <br />Agreement by the Provider exists, as the City may determine in its sole discretion. The sum of all <br />Contract Installments will not exceed the Contract Amount, and the Provider will not incur or seek <br />reimbursement for any expenses in excess of the Contract Amount. <br />3. Term.; Termination. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, this <br />Agreement will end upon the Provider's satisfaction of all her obligations hereunder and the City's <br />final payment therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective immediately upon delivery of a <br />written termination notice to the Provider, the City may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in <br />part, for any reason, if the City determines that such termination is in the best interest of the City. <br />In addition, in accordance with Ind. Code 6-1.1-18, payments are subject to appropriation by the <br />City. If the City makes a written determination that funds are not appropriated or are otherwise <br />unavailable to support the continuation of this Agreement, it shall be cancelled. A determination <br />by the City that funds are not appropriated or are otherwise unavailable to support the continuation <br />of performance shall be final and conclusive. In the event of early termination, the City will <br />compensate the Provider for work satisfactorily performed prior to the City's delivery of a <br />termination notice, but the City will not be required to pay any Contract Installment or be otherwise <br />liable for any cost associated with the Provider's performance of any Services after the City's <br />delivery of a termination notice. <br />4. Remedies for Breach of Contract. Failure to complete the Services in accordance <br />with this Agreement will be considered a material breach. In the event of such breach, the City <br />may suspend all payments to the Provider and may pursue any and all remedies available at law <br />
