assigned hereto. Invoices will be paid in accordance with the State of Florida Prompt Payment Act. C. Availability of Funds. The City's performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent upon an annual appropriation for its purpose by the City Commission. D. Final Invoice. In order for both parties herein to close their books and records, the Consultant will clearly state "final invoice" on the Consultant's final/last billing to the City. This certifies that all services have been properly performed and all charges and costs have been invoiced to the City. Since this account will thereupon be closed, any other additional charges, if not properly included on this final invoice, are waived by the Consultant. Subject to Paragraph 4A. above, Consultant shall make no other charges to the City for supplies, labor, taxes, licenses, permits, overhead or any other expenses or costs unless any such expense or cost is incurred by Consultant with the prior written approval of the City. If the City disputes any charges on the invoices, it may make payment of the uncontested amounts and withhold payment on the contested amounts until they are resolved by agreement with Consultant. Consultant shall not pledge the City's credit or make it a guarantor of payment or surety for any contract, debt, obligation, judgment, lien, or any form of indebtedness. The Consultant further warrants and represents that it has no obligation or indebtedness that would impair its ability to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. 5. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP. The Consultant is an independent contractor and shall be treated as such for all purposes. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any action of the parties shall be construed to constitute or to render the Consultant an employee, partner, agent, shareholder, officer or in any other capacity other than as an independent contractor other than those obligations which have been or shall have been undertaken by the City. Consultant shall be responsible for any and all of its own expenses in performing its duties as contemplated under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, the City shall not be responsible for any expense incurred by the Consultant. The City shall have no duty to withhold any Federal income taxes or pay Social Security services and that such obligations shall be that of the Consultant, other than those set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall furnish its own transportation, office and other supplies as it determines necessary in carrying out its duties under this Agreement. 6. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT. All documents prepared by the Consultant pursuant to this Agreement and related Services to this Agreement are intended and represented for the ownership of the City only. Any other use by Consultant or other parties shall be approved in writing by the City. If requested, Consultant shall deliver the documents to the City within fifteen (15) calendar days. This provision shall not apply to those documents which are public records under Florida law. 3 C1213- CONSULTANT AGREEMENT-FINAL
