<br />written consent of the City and any such assignment, transfer, delegation or subcontract without
<br />the City's prior written consent shall be considered null and void. Nothing in this Agreement shall
<br />be construed to limit the City's ability to have any of the services which are the subject to this
<br />Agreement performed by City personnel or by other consultants retained by City.
