actions, errors or omissions (including any Subconsultant or Subcontractor or other person
or firm employed by Consultant), whether sustained before or after completion of the
Project.
b.
This indemnity and hold harmless provision applies even if a Demand or Expense is in part
due to the Indemnified Party's negligence or breach of a responsibility under this Agreement,
but in that event, Consultant will be liable only to the extent the Demand or Expense results
from the negligence or breach of a responsibility of Consultant or of any person or entity
for whom Consultant is responsible.

in the termination of the Agreement by the City under the terms of this Agreement. The City retains the legal
right to randomly inspect the papers and records of the other party to ensure that the other party is complying
with the above-mentioned warranty. The Consultant and subconsultant warrant to keep their respective
papers and records open for random inspection during normal business hours by the other party. The parties
