What is one of the Contractor's obligations under the Agreement?

The obligation to ensure the quality of the deliverables provided is fundamental in any contractor agreement. This responsibility encompasses the requirement for the contractor to meet specific standards set forth in the agreement, which often includes adhering to industry best practices, complying with regulations, and fulfilling the project's specifications. High-quality deliverables are crucial to the success of the project and the satisfaction of all stakeholders involved, including the City and the community served by the project. This commitment to quality underlines the contractor's professional integrity and can influence future relationships with clients.

While maintaining records of communications and providing cost updates are important, they do not directly relate to the tangible output of the contractor's work, which is the primary focus of ensuring deliverable quality. Additionally, hiring subcontractors falls within operational decisions that may be important but do not inherently address the obligation to uphold project standards. Quality assurance is central to fulfilling the contractor's commitments effectively and successfully.
