without such consent will be ineffective and void and shall be cause for termination of this
Agreement by the County. The County has sole and absolute discretion whether to consent
to any assignment or subcontracting, or to terminate the Agreement because of
unauthorized assignment or subcontracting. In the event of any subcontracting or
unauthorized assignment: (i) the Contractor shall remain responsible to the County; and
(ii) no contractual relationship shall be created between the County and any sub-
consultant, subcontractor or assign.
(b)The parties acknowledge and agree that the County will be
transferring the transit operations of ECO Transit to a separate legal entity, the Eagle

10. Standard of Care. The Contractor shall perform the services hereunder at or
above the standard of care of those in its profession or industry providing similar services
in the Owner’s local area; provided, however, that in the event the standard of care is higher
in the local area where the Contractor’s office primarily responsible for providing the
services is located, then the standard of care applicable to the local area where the
Contractor’s office is located shall be applicable to such services.
11.Accuracy of Work. The Contractor represents, covenants, and agrees that its

work will be accurate and free from any material errors. The Contractor shall correct any
errors or deficiencies in the Contractor’s services of which it becomes aware promptly and
without additional compensation unless such corrective action is directly attributable to
errors or deficiencies in information furnished by the Owner. The Owner’s approval of the
Contractor’s services shall not diminish or release the Contractor’s duties or obligations
hereunder, since the Owner is ultimately relying upon the Contractor’s skill and knowledge
to perform the Scope of Services.
12.Duty to Warn. The Contractor agrees to call to the Owner’s attention errors
in any drawings, plans, sketches, instructions, information, requirements, procedures, and
other data supplied to the Contractor by the Owner or a third-party that it becomes aware
of and believes may be unsuitable, improper, or inaccurate in a material way. However,
the Contractor shall not independently verify the validity, completeness, or accuracy of
such information unless otherwise expressly engaged to do so by the Owner. Nothing shall
detract from this obligation unless the Contractor advises the Owner in writing that such
data may be unsuitable, improper, or inaccurate and the Owner nevertheless confirms in
writing that it wishes the Contractor to proceed according to such data as originally given.
