The Consultant shall not be liable for any type or quantity of Change Orders that are within professional standards. In no event shall the Consultant be responsible for paying the cost of a Change Order or other change to the extent that it would have been otherwise necessary to a Project or otherwise adds value or betterment to a Project. 3.9 Conduct construction progress reviews with the Contractor and the City related to the Contractor's date of completion.
