The successful PROPOSER will be given a Task order executed by the PROPOSER and the CITY. Once the cost fee has been negotiated, a purchase order will be issued. Should the CITY fail to successfully negotiate an acceptable maximum fee for services for a specific project with the PROPOSER involved, the CITY reserves the right to seek and retain said services through other means or other PROPOSER(s).
