AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES <br />This Agreement for Professional Services (this "Agreement") is made effective as of <br />January 1, 2019 (the "Effective Date"), by and between the City of South Bend, Indiana, an Indiana <br />municipal corporation, acting by and through its Board of Public Works (the "City"), and Ivy Tech <br />Community College (the "Provider") (each 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 Provider's proposal attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Scope of Work"). <br />In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Scope of <br />Work, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. The Provider will execute its obligations under <br />this Agreement in accordance with the prevailing professional standard of care for projects of <br />similar design and complexity. <br />2. Compensation. In exchange for the Provider's performance of the Services, and <br />subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City will pay the Provider a total sum <br />not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the "Contract Amount"). The City will pay <br />the Contract Amount in installments upon regular invoicing by the Provider (each a "Contract <br />Installment"). The City will not be required to pay a Contract Installment if the City is not <br />reasonably satisfied with the Provider's performance under this Agreement or any default or <br />breach of this Agreement by the Provider exists, as the City may determine in its sole discretion. <br />The sum of the Contract Installments will not exceed the Contract Amount, and the Provider will <br />not incur or seek 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 commence on the Effective Date and end on December 31, 2020. Notwithstanding <br />the foregoing, effective immediately upon delivery of a written termination notice to the Provider, <br />the City may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for any reason, if the City determines <br />that such termination is in the best interest of the City. In addition, in accordance with applicable <br />laws, payments are subject to annual appropriation. If the City Controller makes a written <br />determination that funds are not appropriated or are otherwise unavailable to support the <br />continuation of this Agreement, it shall be cancelled. A determination by the City Controller that <br />funds are not appropriated or are otherwise unavailable to support the continuation of performance <br />shall be final and conclusive. The City will not be required to pay any Contract Installment or be <br />otherwise liable for any cost associated with the Provider's performance of any Services after the <br />effective date of termination. <br />4. Remedies for Breach of Contract. The Provider's failure to complete the Services <br />in accordance with this Agreement will be considered a material breach. In the event of any breach <br />of this Agreement by the Provider, the City may suspend all payments to the Provider and may <br />pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity. <br />5.
