Is it <br /> available online` <br /> Answer:Check starting on page II of this htto:Ilararraecountync.gov/DCCi'gff Sf1?0830. d <br /> Question: we have concerns regarding the contractual requirements you ask the design teams to accept, and 1 <br /> want to clarify if you actually wish to be as punitive as the requirements currently stipulate: <br /> 21:"the contract requires the"highest professional standards"_..this exceeds all liability insurance coverage for <br /> all professional design firms in the country, as insurance coverage includes only covering a standard of care that r <br /> is"consistent with the professional skill and care ordinarily provided by architects practicing in the same or <br /> similar locality under the same or similar circumstances". <br /> 2.2.1: again,the"highest"generally accepted standard of care exceeds liability coverage limits. <br /> 2.2.2, 2.2.3: no liability insurance covers this level of responsibility,as architects provide instruments of service <br /> —do you really intend that the architect pays all `omitted" items on this project? <br /> 7.3.1: indemnification language is too broad and is non-insurable as well. <br /> 9.3.1: See previous comment on E&Q coverage from 2.2.2 <br /> 10.7.1: given that this is specifically a prototype design, and obviously will be used for multiple projects, this is <br /> unacceptable as written,as we use proprietary specifications,details,etc.that would effectively become your <br /> property and violate our copyright protection,while not alleviating our liability for the documents. <br /> Answer:Each of those sections Is negotiable as is every other contract we have <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
