Re: Agreement for Professional Services/Traffic
Consultant Services Related to Riverside Drive
(Your Proposal No. 93-770)
Dear Cathy:
I am in receipt of your letter of December 27, 1993 containing a
proposed Agreement for the above -referenced services. The Agreement
is generally acceptable however, I have the following comments:
a. Section 1.3 contains the maximum cost for the profes-
sional services. While I know Keith & Schnars cannot warrant success-
ful completion of the services, I would be more comfortable if that
section indicated that a $30,000 maximum would cover all services
related to prosecuting the application to completion (whether success-
ful or unsuccessful).
b. Section 1.1 of the Standard Agreement Provisions pro-
vides for work beginning within 10 days after .receipt of the Agree-
ment. In light of the need for prompt action, this should be revised
or stricken.
c. With regard to Section 5 of the Standard Agreement
Provisions, I have two comments. First, 1 would prefer that the
City be able to retain ownership of any work product which is in its
possession and for which it has paid. Second, the City cannot indem-
nify to the extent that any such indemnity involved the negligence of
another party. This has been prohibited by recent amendment to the
Florida Statutes.

Other than these general comments, the Agreement is generally
satisfactory. while 1 would normally want to modify certain provi-
sions, including the reimbursable expense provisions, 1 am confident
that that will not be a problem between us. Additionally, while 1
would not normally agree to the beginning of work prior to the consum-
mation of contract, in view of the longstanding relationship between
Keith & Schnars and the City of Parkland and the need for prompt
actions by the City, 1 again am confident that this will not be a
problem.
1 thank you for your prompt aotion and look forward to working
with you.
Please contact me after you have had an opportunity to review
these issues with Bill.
Sincerely,
drew S. Maurodis
