M. Pay went for Services Total payment for services described herein shall be a sum not to exceed Thirteen Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($13,000.00). This total payment for services includes CONSULTANT's ordinary expenses such as salary costs, overhead, direct expenses and profit. Additional expenses, which are extraordinary in nature, shall be approved in advance by CITY in writing signed by the parties. Such extraordinary expenses may be paid as incurred and billed to the CITY pursuant to this Contract over and above the total payment amount identified in this provision. Any extraordinary expenses not approved in writing in advance by the CITY shall remain the sole responsibility of the CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT will bill CITY on a percent complete basis in accordance with Attachment "B"; provided however that this Contract shall control in the event of any conflict between the language in Attachment "B" and the language in this Contract. If additional services, trips or expenses are requested, CONSULTANT will not provide such additional services until authorized by CITY in writing to proceed. The scope of services shall be strictly limited. CITY shall not be required to pay any amount in excess of the amount identified in the preceding paragraph unless CITY shall have approved in writing in advance (prior to the performance of additional work) the payment of additional amounts. Each month CONSULTANT will submit to CITY an invoice supporting the percentage complete for which payment is sought, along with a progress report supporting the invoiced amount. Each invoice shall also state the percentage of work completed on the Project through the end of the then submitted billing period, the total of the current invoice amount and a running total balance for the Project to date. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of each such monthly invoice, CITY shall make payment in the amount shown by CONSULTANT's approved monthly statements and other documentation submitted. Such payments shall be subject to the Texas Prompt Payment Act, Texas Government Code §§ 2251.001, et seg. Nothing contained in this Contract shall require CITY to pay for any services that are not in conformance with the Standard of Care or invoices which are not submitted in compliance with the material terms of this Contract, nor shall failure to withhold payment pursuant to the provisions of this section constitute a waiver of any right, at law or in equity, which CITY may have if CONSULTANT is in default, including the right to bring legal action for damages or for specific performance of this Contract. Waiver of any default under this Contract shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default. IV. Revisions of the Scope of Services CITY reserves the right to revise or expand the scope of services after due approval by CITY and agreement by CONSULTANT as CITY may deem necessary, but in such event CITY shall pay CONSULTANT equitable compensation as agreed by CITY and CONSULTANT for such services. In any event, when CONSULTANT is directed to revise or expand the scope of services under this Section of the Contract, CONSULTANT shall provide CITY a written proposal for the entire cost involved in performing such additional services. Prior to CONSULTANT undertaking any revised or expanded services as directed by CITY under this Contract, CITY must authorize in writing the nature and scope of the services and accept the method and amount of compensation and the time involved in all phases of the Project. It is expressly understood and agreed by CONSULTANT that any compensation not specified in Paragraph III hereinabove may require approval by the City Council and is subject to the current budget year limitations. Further, CONSULTANT has no obligation to perform any services not set forth in Attachment A without the advance, written approval of CITY. Architectural Services Contract WRA Architects, Inc.
