The City shall not compensate Contractor in excess of the not-to-exceed amount unless the City has executed a written, authorized, and formal Modification to the Contract signed by the City Manager or an Assistant City Manager of the City of Fort Worth. It is expressly agreed between the parties that there shall be no oral modifications to this contract. C. The parties agree that FORTY-NINE THOUSAND EIGHT-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO DOLLARS ($49,822.00), shall be the whole of compensation for all of the services specified in this contract. In the event of a discrepancy between any unit price and the contract not-to-exceed price, the not-to-exceed price shall prevail. In no event will compensation be greater than the not-to- exceed amount described herein. D. Quantities identified in the Request for Proposal were estimated quantities only. Prior to submitting a bid, as noted in the Invitation to Bid, the Contractor was responsible for verifying all quantities upon which the Contractor's bid was based. The Contractor was to rely exclusively upon its own estimates, investigation, research, tests, and other data necessary to supply the full and complete information upon which the Contractor's bid was based. It is mutually agreed that submission of a bid is prima-facie evidence that the Contractor has made all of the investigations, examinations, and tests required to make a fully informed offer. E. By executing this contract, the Contractor affirms and agrees that the Contractor has had the opportunity and duty to confirm all quantities prior to submitting a bid, and Contractor expressly waives any and all right to additional AST Installation at Botanic Gardens Page 19 of 22 The Stovall Corporation compensation other than the contract grand total as a result of any discrepancy between the quantities encountered and the estimated quantities in the Invitation to Bid and bid documents. F. The parties intend and agree that any change order or modification to this contract will be in the case of only the most extraordinary of circumstances. Any claims for additional compensation based upon variations between conditions actually encountered in this project and conditions as indicated in the Contract Documents will not be allowed. Any claims for additional compensation proposed by Contractor will be examined by the City in consideration of the terms described herein and the Contractors request for additional compensation must clearly show why the variation was not identifiable prior to the Contractor submitting its bid. As used in this contract, "not identifiable" means that the Contractor a) performed all investigation, research, tests, and other data collection necessary to accurately determine quantities, and b) no reasonably possible investigation, research, tests, or other data collection could have identified the variation. The final determination as to additional compensation will be made at the sole judgment and discretion of the City.
