5. Independent Contractor. Contractor is and will at all times remain as to
City a wholly independent contractor. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents
will have control over the conduct of Contractor or any of Contractor's officers, employees,
agents or subcontractors, except as expressly set forth in the Contract Documents. Contractor
may not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, agents,
or subcontractors are in any manner officers, employees, agents or subcontractors of City.
6. Prevailing Wages: Copies of the determination of the Director of the
Department of Industrial Relations of the prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft,
classification or type of worker needed to execute this Contract will be on file in, and available
at City Hall, 130 Avram Avenue, Rohnert Park CA 94952.
Contractor must post at the work site,or if there is no regular work site then at its principal
office, for the duration of the Contract, a copy of the determination by the Director of the
Department of Industrial Relations of the specified prevailing rate of per diem wages. (Labor
Code § 1773.2.)
Contractor, and any subcontractor engaged by Contractor, may pay not less than the
specified prevailing rate of per diem wages to all workers employed in the execution of the
contract. (Labor Code § 1774.) Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code
section 1776 relative to the retention and inspection of payroll records.
Contractor must comply with all provisions of Labor Code section 1775. Under Section
1775, Contractor may forfeit as a penalty to City up to $200.00 for each worker employed in the
execution of the Contract by Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day, or portion
thereof, in which the worker is paid less than the prevailing rates. Contractor may also be liable
to pay the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for
each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing
wage rate.
Nothing in this Contract prevents Contractor or any subcontractor from employing
properly registered apprentices in the execution of the Contract. Contractor is responsible for
compliance with Labor Code section 1777.5 for all apprenticeable occupations. This statute
requires that contractors and subcontractors must submit contract award information to the
RESO EXHIBIT A
applicable joint apprenticeship committee, must employ apprentices in apprenticeable
occupations in a ratio of not less than one hour of apprentice's work for every five hours of labor
performed by a journeyman (unless an exception is granted under § 1777.5), must contribute to
the fund or funds in each craft or trade or a like amount to the California Apprenticeship Council,
and that contractors and subcontractors must not discriminate among otherwise qualified
employees as apprentices solely on the ground of sex, race, religion, creed, national origin,
ancestry or color. Only apprentices defined in Labor Code section 3077, who are in training
under apprenticeship standards and who have written apprentice contracts, may be employed on
public works in apprenticeable occupations.
With each application for payment, Contractor shall also deliver certified payrolls to
Owner as set forth above in these General Conditions, and concurrently therewith (but in no
event less frequently than monthly) directly to the Labor Commissioner in the format prescribed
by the Labor Commissioner.
If federal funds are used to pay for the Work, Contractor and any subcontractor agree to
comply, as applicable, with the labor and reporting requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act (40
USC § 276a-7), the Copeland Act (40 USC § 276c and 18 USC § 874), and the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 USC § 327 and following).
7. Hours of Labor: Contractor acknowledges that under California Labor Code
sections 1810 and following, eight hours of labor constitutes a legal day's work. Contractor will
forfeit as a penalty to City the sum of$25.00 for each worker employed in the execution of this
Contract by Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is
required or permitted to work more than eight hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any
one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Labor Code section 1810.
8. Apprentices: Attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5 (Chapter
1411, Statutes of 1968) and 1777.6 of the Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices
by the Contractor or any Subcontractor under him.
Section 1777.5,as amended,requires the Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradesmen
in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site of
the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a
certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen that will
be used in the performance of the Contract. The ratio of apprentices to journeymen in such cases
must not be less than one to five except:
A. When unemployment in the area of coverage by the joint apprenticeship committee
has exceeded an average of 15 percent in the 90 days prior to the request for
certificate, or
B. When the number of apprentices in training in that area exceeds a ratio of one to
five, or
C. When the trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through
apprenticeship training on an annual basis statewide or locally, or
D. When the assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works
Contract would create a condition which would jeopardize his life or the life,safety,
or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or if the specified task to
which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be
RESO EXHIBIT A
provided by a journeyman, or
E. When the Contractor provides evidence that he employs registered apprentices on
all of his Contracts on an annual average of not less than one apprentice to eight
journeymen.
The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration
of apprenticeship program if he employs registered apprentices or j oumeymen in any apprenticeable
trade on such Contracts and if other Contractors on the public works site are making such
contributions.
The Contractor and any Subcontractor under him must comply with the requirements of
Section 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices.
Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be
obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship,
San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.
9. Labor Discrimination: Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code,
which reads as follows:
"A contractor must not discriminate in the employment of persons upon
public works on any basis listed in subdivision (a) of Section 12940 of the Government
Code,as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code,
except as otherwise provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code. Every
contractor for public works who violates this section is subject to all the penalties
imposed for a violation of this chapter. "
10. Workmen's Compensation Insurance: In accordance with the provisions of Article 5,
Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 (commencing with Section 1860) and Chapter 4, Part 1, Division 4
(commencing with Section 3700) of the Labor Code of the State of California, the Contractor is
required to secure the payment of compensation to his employees and must for that purpose obtain
and keep in effect adequate Workmen's Compensation Insurance.
The undersigned Contractor is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code
which requires every employer to be insured against liability for workmen's compensation or to
undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code,and will comply with such
provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.
11. Indemnity and Insurance: To the fullest extent permitted by law(including without
limitation California Civil Code Section 2782), Contractor must indemnify, hold harmless,release
and defend City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents, volunteers,and consultants from
and against any and all actions, claims, demands, damages, disability, losses, expenses including,
but not limited to, attorney's fees and other defense costs and liabilities of any nature that may be

activities hereunder, including the activities of other persons employed or utilized by Contractor
including subcontractors hired by the Contractor in the performance of this Agreement excepting
liabilities due to the sole negligence, intentional misconduct or active negligence of the City. This
indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of
damages or compensation payable by or for Contractor under Worker's Compensation,disability or
other employee benefit acts or the terms, applicability or limitations of any insurance held or
provided by Contractor and must continue to bind the parties after termination/completion of this
RESO EXHIBIT A
Agreement.
Contractor shall procure and maintain throughout the time for performance of the work
under this Contract the insurance required by the Special Provisions. The requirement that
Contractor procure and maintain insurance shall in no way be construed to limit the Contractor's
duty to indemnify City as provided in the paragraph above.

obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
12. City Right of Termination and Right to Complete the Work. The City may
terminate the Contract when conditions encountered during the work make it impossible or
impracticable to proceed, or when the City is prevented from proceeding with the Contract by
act of God, by law, or by official action of a public authority. In addition, the occurrence of any

satisfactory arrangements acceptable to City for the correction or elimination of such default are
made, as determined by City, City may thereafter terminate this Contract by serving written
notice on Contractor. In such case,Contractor will not be entitled to receive any further payment,
except for Work actually completed prior to such termination in accordance with the provisions
of the Contract Documents.
In event of any such termination, City will also immediately serve written notice of the
termination upon Contractor's surety. The surety will have the right to take over and perform
pursuant to this Contract; provided, however,that if the surety does not give City written notice
of its intention to take over and perform this Contract within five days after service of the notice
