satisfactorily perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the City may
withhold an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to, but not in excess of,
the City's damages caused by such failure. In no event shall any payment by the City

joined and consolidated with any other dispute or disputes arising from or relating to the
Project so that all disputes arising from or relating to the Project may be resolved in a
single proceeding. the Consultant hereby specifically waives any objection it may
otherwise have to such joinder and consolidation and specifically consents to mediation,
arbitration or any other dispute resolution mechanism, forum or proceeding necessary to

meeting all the requirements stated herein and the Consultant shall ensure that the City,

the City, prior to commencement of any work by the subcontractor.
