the proposed traffic management strategies developed in this study. Operational
analyses, using a methodology consistent with the 2000 Highway Capacity
Manual, will be performed at the six (6) intersections where turning movement
count data is collected to assess the impacts of traffic flow modifications.

employees, or independent subconsultants.

the use by the Consultant of facts, data and information obtained by the Consultant in the performance of its services. If,

use reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of that material.
(17) Miscellaneous Provisions. This Agreement is to be governed by the law of the State of Florida. This Agreement
contains the entire and fully integrated agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
negotiations, representations, agreements or understandings, whether written or oral. Except as provided in Section 1, this
Agreement can be supplemented or amended only by a written document executed by both parties. Provided, however, that any
conflicting or additional terms on any purchase order issued by the Client shall be void and are hereby expressly rejected by the
Consultant. Any provision in this Agreement that is unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions. The non- enforcement of any provision by either party shall not constitute a
waiver of that provision nor shall it affect the enforceability of that provision or of the remainder of this Agreement.

to the balance of any work, nor to any compensation associated with these non - issued
work authorizations, due to the Consultant being in Default
