REGULAR MEETING JULY 12, 2022 160 favored them more than the City. He also noted that there were conflicting indemnification clauses. He asked that legal would look at it and decide on whether the rewriting of the contract would be permitted. Attorney McDaniels advised that she is seeing this a lot due to the volatility in the market. She noted that she would review the wording and where there are differences, she will indicate that our standard terms and conditions take priority over theirs. In the event there is a proposal, Attorney McDaniels stated that we do not sign their proposal, we only sign the agreement, so that our terms and conditions take priority of what they’ve tried to submit.
