1 SERVICES AGREEMENT This Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between the City of South Bend (the “City”), and ____________________(the “Provider”) (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”). For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows: 1.Services. The Provider will provide to the City the services (the “Services”) set forth in the Provider’s proposal attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Proposal”), which Proposal is incorporated herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Proposal, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. The Provider will execute its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the prevailing professional standard of care for projects of similar design and complexity. 2. Compensation. In exchange for the Provider’s satisfactory performance of the Services, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City will pay the Provider the Program Fee stated in the Proposal (the “Contract Amount”) in accordance with the project budget stated in the Proposal. The City will pay the Contract Amount upon invoicing by the Provider as set forth in the Proposal. The City will not be required to pay any amount if the City is not satisfied with the Provider’s performance under this Agreement or any default or breach of this Agreement by the Provider exists, as the City may determine in its sole discretion. The sum of all payments will not exceed the Contract Amount, and the Provider will not incur or seek reimbursement for any expenses in excess of the Contract Amount. 3. Term; Termination. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and terminate upon the satisfactory completion of the Services to be rendered under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective immediately upon delivery of a written termination notice to the Provider, the City may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for any reason, if the City determines that such termination is in the best interest of the City. In addition, in accordance with Ind. Code 6-1.1-18-4, payments are subject to annual appropriation by the City. If the City makes a written determination that funds are not appropriated or are otherwise unavailable to support the continuation of this Agreement, it shall be cancelled. A determination by the City that funds are not appropriated or are otherwise unavailable to support the continuation of performance shall be final and conclusive. The City will not be required to pay any Contract Installment or be otherwise liable for any cost associated with the Provider’s performance of any Services after the effective date of termination. 4.Remedies for Breach of Contract. Failure to complete the Services in accordance with this Agreement will be considered a material breach. In the event of such breach, the City may suspend all payments to the Provider and may pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity. The Provider shall repay to the City any portion of the Contract Amount expended for matters not within the scope of the Services. 5.Relationship. The Provider shall at all times be an independent contractor for the performance of the Services rather than an employee of the City, and no act or omission to act by the Provider shall in any way bind or obligate the City. This Agreement is strictly for the benefit
