BACKGROUND: On December 4, 2002, the City Council approved the acquisition of the former Tramway Gas Station for conversion to a new City Visitors Center with completion prior to the expiration of the current Visitors Center lease on October 31, 2003. The purchase transaction was closed on January 29, 2003. Given the historic status of the Tramway Gas Station, a presentation describing potential design options was made to the Historic Site Preservation Board by the architect and staff on March 14 to elicit feedback from its members. In addition, an informal"open house"for Council and HSPB members to tour both facilities was held on March 15. Staff also met with a representative of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to discuss potential future options for their involvement at the new Visitors Center site. Interest has been expressed for a possible future multi-modal facility at the site in coordination with the aerial tram. No specific plans have been made for an immediate BLM/National Monument presence or a multi-modal facility at the site, however, the initial build-out is being designed with future flexibility in this regard. /19 Visitors Center April 30, 2003 Page Two Study Sessions were held with the City Council on March 20 and 26, 2003 to discuss conceptual Schematic Designs for the project.

The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Architect to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver.

A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement,the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Architect and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Zero Dollars ($-0-) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder,as specified in the Schedule of Performance(Exhibit "D").

In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.9 Termination for Default of Architect. If termination is due to the failure of the Architect to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Architect shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Architect for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.10 Attorneys' Fees.
