Agreement, then Engineer shall make such revisions as requested and as directed by City. Such
revisions shall be considered as additional work and paid for as specified under Article 11 entitled
"Additional Work."
Engineer shall make revisions to work authorized hereunder as are necessary to correct errors
appearing therein, when required to do so by City. No additional compensation shall be due for such
work.

Rev. 4/1/03
8

The termination of this Agreement and payment of an amount in settlement as prescribed above
shall extinguish all rights, duties, and obligations of City and Engineer under this Agreement, except
the obligations set forth herein in Article 21 entitled "Compliance with Laws." If the termination of this
Agreement is due to the failure of Engineer to fulfill his/her/its contractual obligations, then City may
take over the project and prosecute the work to completion. In such case, Engineer shall be liable to
City for any additional costs incurred by City.
Engineer shall be responsible for the settlement of all contractual and administrative issues
arising out of any procurements made by Engineer in support of the scope of services hereunder.
