effective only to the extent and duration of the force majeure event causing the prevention or delay in
performance and, provided, that the party prevented or delayed has not caused such event to occur and
continues to use diligent, good faith efforts to avoid the effects of such event and to perform the
obligation.
CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT - 3
($20,000 or Less)
Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the Consultant shall not be entitled to, and the
City shall not be liable for, the payment of any part of the contract price during a force majeure event, or
any costs, losses, expenses, damages, or delay costs incurred by the Consultant due to a force majeure
event. Performance that is more costly due to a force majeure event is not included within the scope of
this Force Majeure provision.
If a force majeure event occurs, the City may direct the Consultant to restart any work or
performance that may have ceased, to change the work, or to take other action to secure the work or the
project site during the force majeure event. The cost to restart, change, or secure the work or project site
arising from a direction by the City under this clause will be dealt with as a change order, except to the
extent that the loss or damage has been caused or exacerbated by the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly contemplated by this section, all other costs will be
borne by the Consultant.
VII. DISCRIMINATION. In the hiring of employees for the performance of work under this
Agreement or any subcontract, the Consultant, its subcontractors, or any person acting on behalf of the

Consultant's performance of this Agreement, except for that portion of the injuries and damages caused
by the City's negligence.
The City's inspection or acceptance of any of the Consultant's work when completed shall not be
grounds to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damages to
property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Consultant and the City, its officers,
officials, employees, agents and volunteers, the Consultant's duty to defend, indemnify, and hold the City
harmless, and the Consultant’s liability accruing from that obligation shall be only to the extent of the
Consultant's negligence.
