WHEREAS, City desires to retain Consultant pursuant to this Agreement to provide the
services described in Section 3 of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants, the parties hereto agree
as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals and all defined terms set forth above are
hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth herein in full.
2. Project Coordination. Authorized representatives shall represent City and
Consultant in all matters pertaining to this Agreement.
A. City. The City Manager or his/her designee shall represent City
for all purposes under this Agreement, except where approval for the City is specifically required
by the City Council. The Director of Development Services is hereby designated as the project
manager (“Project Manager”). The Project Manager shall supervise the progress and execution
of this Agreement.
B. Consultant. The Consultant shall assign Mark Lander, P.E. to have
overall responsibility for the progress and execution of this Agreement for Consultant.
3. Scope and Performance of Services
A. Scope of Services. Subject to such policy direction and approvals
as City may determine from time to time, Consultant shall perform the type of services generally
set out in the Scope of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
Consultant shall be assigned to provide particular services pursuant to the requirements of a task
order that has been issued in conformance with the City’s Purchasing Policy (“Task Order”)
executed by Consultant and City.
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
B. Time of Performance. The services of Consultant are to
commence upon receipt of a written notice to proceed from City, but in no event prior to
receiving a fully executed agreement from City and obtaining and delivering the required
insurance coverage, and satisfactory evidence thereof, to City. Consultant shall perform its
services in accordance with the schedule attached to the Task Order. Any changes to these dates
in either this Section 3 or the Task Order shall be approved in writing by the Project Manager.
C. Standard of Quality. City relies upon the professional ability of
Consultant as a material inducement to entering into this Agreement. All work performed by
Consultant under this Agreement shall be performed 1) with due diligence, using its best efforts
to perform and coordinate all activities in a timely manner; 2) in accordance with all applicable
legal requirements; and 3) with the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent
professionals in Consultant's field of expertise. Consultant shall correct, at its own expense, all
errors made in the provision of services under this Agreement. In the event that Consultant fail
to make such correction in a timely manner, City may make the correction and charge the cost
thereof to Consultant.
4. Compensation and Method of Payment.
A. Compensation. The compensation to be paid to Consultant,
including both payment for professional services and reimbursable expenses, shall: (1) for
services provided directly under this Agreement be at the rate and schedules more particularly
described in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, or (2) for services
authorized by Task Orders, be at the rate and schedules specified by said Task Order. However,
in no event shall the amount City pays to Consultant for services provided directly under this
Agreement exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00); or, for services authorized by Task
Order, the compensation shall not exceed the total compensation specified by the Task Order.
Whether working under this Master Agreement or a Task Order, the services of the Consultant
shall not commence without a written notice to proceed from the City. City’s obligation to pay
compensation to Consultant as provided herein is contingent upon Consultant’s compliance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any amendments thereto. Payment by City under
this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of unsatisfactory work, even if such defects were
known to the City at the time of payment. City shall pay Consultant as compensation in full for
such services and expenses for the different elements of the scope of work as follows:
B. Timing of Payment.
(1) Consultant shall submit itemized monthly statements for work
performed. All statements shall include adequate documentation
demonstrating work performed during the billing period and shall
conform to Federal Funding invoicing requirements, if applicable.
Except as otherwise provided herein, City shall make payment, in
full, within thirty (30) days after approval of the invoice by City.
(2) Payments due and payable to Consultant for current services must
be within the current budget and within an available, unexhausted
and unencumbered appropriation of the City. In the event the City
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
has not appropriated sufficient funds for payment of Consultant
services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover
only those costs incurred up to the conclusion of the current fiscal
year; payment for additional work is conditional upon future City
appropriation.
C. Changes in Compensation. Consultant will not undertake any
work that will incur costs in excess of the amount set forth in Section 4(A) of this Agreement
without prior written amendment to this Agreement. City shall have the right to amend the
Scope of Work within the Agreement by written notification to the Consultant. In such event,
the compensation and time of performance shall be subject to renegotiation upon written demand
of either party to the Agreement. Consultant shall not commence any work exceeding the Scope
of Work without prior written authorization from the City. Failure of the Consultant to secure
City's written authorization for extra or changed work shall constitute a waiver of any and all
right to adjustment in the contract price or time due, whether by way of compensation,
restitution, quantum meruit, etc. for work done without the appropriate City authorization.
D. Taxes. Consultant shall pay all taxes, assessments and premiums
under the federal Social Security Act, any applicable unemployment insurance contributions,
Workers Compensation insurance premiums, sales taxes, use taxes, personal property taxes, or
other taxes or assessments now or hereafter in effect and payable by reason of or in connection
with the services to be performed by Consultant.
E. No Overtime or Premium Pay. Consultant shall receive no
premium or enhanced pay for work normally understood as overtime, i.e., hours that exceed forty
(40) hours per work week, or work performed during non-standard business hours, such as in the
evenings or on weekends. Consultant shall not receive a premium or enhanced pay for work
performed on a recognized holiday. Consultant shall not receive paid time off for days not
worked, whether it be in the form of sick leave, administrative leave, or for any other form of
absence.
F. Litigation Support. Consultant agrees to testify at City's request if
litigation is brought against City in connection with Consultant's work product. Unless the
action is brought by Consultant or is based upon Consultant's negligence, City will compensate
Consultant for the preparation and the testimony at Consultant's standard hourly rates, if
requested by City and not part of the litigation brought by City against Consultant.
5. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of its execution
by both parties and shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2025, unless earlier
terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be extended for successive one-year term(s) upon mutual, written approval by the City
Manager or his/her designee and Consultant. Work authorized by a separate Task Order as
contemplated by this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the schedule set forth in
the Task Order.
6. Inspection. Consultant shall furnish City with every reasonable opportunity for
City to ascertain that the services of Consultant are being performed in accordance with the
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
requirements and intentions of this Agreement. All work done and all materials furnished, if
any, shall be subject to the Project Manager's inspection and approval. The inspection of such
work shall not relieve Consultant of any of its obligations to fulfill the Agreement as prescribed.
7. Ownership of Documents. Title, including the copyright and all intellectual
property rights, to all plans, specifications, maps, estimates, reports, manuscripts, drawings,
descriptions, designs, data, photographs, reports and any other final work products compiled,
prepared or obtained by the Consultant under the Agreement shall be vested in City, none of
which shall be used in any manner whatsoever, by any person, firm, corporation, or agency
without the expressed written consent of the City. Consultant shall assume no responsibility for
the unintended use by others of such final work products which are not related to the scope of the
services described under this Agreement. Basic survey notes and sketches, charts, computations,
and other data prepared or obtained under the Agreement shall be made available, upon request,
to City without restriction or limitations on their use. Consultant may retain copies of the above-
described information but agrees not to disclose or discuss any information gathered, discussed
or generated in any way through this Agreement without the written permission of City during
the term of this Agreement, unless required by law.
8. Employment of Other Consultants, Specialists or Experts. Consultant will not
employ or otherwise incur an obligation to pay other consultants, specialists or experts for
services in connection with this Agreement without the prior written approval of the City.
9. Conflict of Interest.
A. Consultant covenants and represents that neither it, nor any officer
or principal of its firm, has, or shall acquire any investment, income, business entity, interest in
real property, or other interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with
the interests of City, hinder Consultant's performance of services under this Agreement, or be
affected in any manner or degree by performance of Consultant's services hereunder. Consultant
further covenants that in the performance of the Agreement, no person having any such interest
shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent, or subcontractor without the express
written consent of the City. Consultant agrees at all times to avoid conflicts of interest, or the
appearance of any conflicts of interest, with the interests of the City in the performance of the
Agreement.
(1) Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the
Political Reform Act because Consultant:
(2) will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to its
rendition of information, advice, recommendation, or counsel
independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City
official, other than normal contract monitoring; and
(3) possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond the
rendition of information, advice, recommendation, or counsel.
(2 Cal. Code Regs. § 18700(a)(2).)
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
10. Liability of Members and Employees of City. No member of the City and no
other officer, elected official, employee or agent of the City shall be personally liable to
Consultant or otherwise in the event of any default or breach of the City, or for any amount
which may become due to Consultant or any successor in interest, or for any obligations directly
or indirectly incurred under the terms of this Agreement. The City has no liability or
responsibility for any accident, loss, or damage to any work performed under this Agreement
whether prior to its completion or acceptance or otherwise.
11. Indemnity.
A. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Consultant shall, at its own expense, indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the City) and hold harmless City and any and all of its officers, officials,
employees, agents and volunteers (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability
(including liability for claims, demands, damages, obligations, suits, actions, arbitration
proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any
kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys fees and costs, court costs,
interest, defense costs and expert witness fees) of any nature (“Liability”), whether actual,
alleged or threatened, which arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the performance or failure to
comply with this Agreement, regardless of any fault or alleged fault of the Indemnified Parties.
For design professionals (as that term is defined by statute) acting within the scope of their
professional capacity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall, at its own expense,
indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City) and hold harmless any
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liability, whether actual, alleged or threatened,
which arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of
the Consultant, or as may be provided by statute in Civil Code § 2782.8, as may be amended
from time to time.
The only exception to Consultant’s responsibility to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties from Liability is due to the active negligence or willful
misconduct of City or its elective or appointive boards, officers, agents and employees.
B. Scope of Obligation. Consultant’s duty to indemnify, protect,
defend and hold harmless as set forth in this Section 11 shall include the duty to defend (by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City) as set forth in California Civil Code § 2778. 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 Consultant under worker’s compensation, disability
or other employee benefit acts or the terms, applicability or limitations of any insurance held or
provided by Consultant and shall continue to bind the parties after termination/completion of this
agreement. This indemnification shall be regardless of and not in any way limited by the
insurance requirements of this contract. This indemnification is for the full period of time
allowed by law and shall survive the termination of this agreement. Consultant waives any and
all rights to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnified Parties concerning any
Liability of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or Consultant’s
failure to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement.
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
Consultant’s duty to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless as set forth in this Section 11
shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability, or because the
Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not or may not be liable.
The Consultant must respond within thirty (30) calendar days to any tender by the City, unless
the time for responding has been extended by an authorized representative of the City in writing.
If the Consultant fails to timely accept such tender, in addition to any other remedies authorized
by law, as much of the money due or that may become due to the Consultant under this
Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City may be retained by the City
until disposition has been made of the matter subject to tender, or until the Consultant accepts the
tender, whichever occurs first. Consultant agrees to fully reimburse all costs, including but not
limited to attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation incurred by the City in responding to
matters prior to Consultant’s acceptance of the tender.
12. Independent Contractor. It is expressly agreed that Consultant, in the
performance of the work and services agreed to be performed by Consultant, shall act as and be
an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of City and shall have responsibility for
and control over the details and means of providing its services under this Agreement.
Consultant shall furnish, at its own expense, all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation
and services necessary for the successful completion of the services under this Agreement. As
an independent contractor, Consultant shall obtain no rights to retirement benefits or other
benefits which accrue to City's employees, and Consultant hereby expressly waives any claim it
may have to any such rights. Consultant, its officers, employees and agents shall not have any
power to bind or commit the City to any decision.
13. Compliance with Laws.
A. General. Consultant shall use the standard of care in its profession
to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations.
Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has and shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep
in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement any licenses, permits, insurance
and approvals which are legally required for Consultant to practice its profession. City is not
responsible or liable for Consultant's failure to comply with any or all of the requirements
contained in this paragraph or in this Agreement.
B. Workers' Compensation. Consultant certifies that it is aware of the
provisions of the California Labor Code which require every employee to be insured against
liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of that Code, and Consultant certifies that it will comply with such provisions before
commencing performance of the Agreement and at all times in the performance of the
Agreement.
C. Prevailing Wage. Consultant and Consultant's subconsultants (if
any) shall, to the extent required by the California Labor Code, pay not less than the latest
prevailing wage rates to workers and professionals as determined by the Director of Industrial
Relations of the State of California pursuant to California Labor Code, Part 7, Chapter 1,
Article 2. Copies of the applicable wage determination are on file at the City's office of the City
Clerk.
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103

is aware of and has complied with the provisions of California Labor Code § 6401.7, which

discretion, Consultant and all subconsultants shall have acquired, at Consultant’s expense, a
business license from the City in accordance with Chapter 5.04 of the Rohnert Park Municipal
Code, prior to City's issuance of an authorization to proceed with the Services. Such license(s)
shall be kept valid throughout the term of this Agreement. City may withhold compensation
from Consultant until such time as Consultant complies with this section.
F. Waiver of Subrogation. Consultant and Consultant's insurance
company agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its officers, elected officials,
employees, agents and volunteers for losses paid under Consultant's workers' compensation
insurance policy which arise from the work performed by Consultant for City.
14. Confidential Information. All data, documents, discussions or other information
developed or received by or for Consultant in performance of this Agreement are confidential
and not to be disclosed to any person except as authorized by City, or as required by law.
15. Assignment; Subcontractors; Employees
A. Assignment. Consultant shall not assign, delegate, transfer, or
convey its duties, responsibilities, or interests in this Agreement or any right, title, obligation, or
interest in or to the same or any part thereof without the City's prior written consent, which shall
be in the City’s sole discretion. Any assignment without such approval shall be void and, at the
City's option, shall immediately cause this Agreement to terminate.
B. Subcontractors; Employees. Consultant shall be responsible for
employing or engaging all persons necessary to perform the services of Consultant hereunder.
No subcontractor of Consultant shall be recognized by the City as such; rather, all subcontractors
are deemed to be employees of the Consultant, and Consultant agrees to be responsible for their
performance. Consultant shall give its personal attention to the fulfillment of the provisions of
this Agreement by all of its employees and subcontractors, if any, and shall keep the work under
its control. If any employee or subcontractor of Consultant fails or refuses to carry out the
provisions of this Agreement or appears to be incompetent or to act in a disorderly or improper
manner, it shall be discharged immediately from the work under this Agreement on demand of
the Project Manager.
16. Insurance. Without limiting Consultant's indemnification provided herein,
Consultant shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain insurance that complies with the
requirements set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement, which is attached hereto and incorporated
by reference. Consultant shall upon thirty (30) days’ notice comply with any changes in the
amounts and terms of insurance as may be required from time-to-time by City’s risk manager.

at any time, with or without cause, by the City upon five (5) days' written notice to Consultant.
B. If Consultant fails to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement within the time and in the manner herein provided or otherwise violates any of the
terms of this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, City may terminate
this Agreement immediately upon written notice. In such event, Consultant shall be entitled to
receive as full payment for all services satisfactorily rendered and expenses incurred hereunder,
an amount which bears the same ratio to the total fees specified in the Agreement as the services
satisfactorily rendered hereunder by Consultant bear to the total services otherwise required to be
performed for such total fee; provided, however, that the City shall deduct from such amount the
amount of damages, if any, sustained by City by virtue of the breach of the Agreement by
consultant.
C. In the event this Agreement is terminated by City without cause,
Consultant shall be entitled to any compensation owing to it hereunder up to the time of such
termination, it being understood that any payments are full compensation for services rendered

D. Upon termination of this Agreement with or without cause,
Consultant shall turn over to the City Manager immediately any and all copies of studies,
sketches, drawings, computations, and other data, whether or not completed, prepared by
Consultant or its subcontractors, if any, or given to Consultant or its subcontractors, if any, in
connection with this Agreement. Such materials shall become the permanent property of the
City. Consultant, however, shall not be liable for the City's use of incomplete materials nor for
the City's use of complete documents if used for other than the project contemplated by this
Agreement.
18. Suspension. The City shall have the authority to suspend this Agreement and the
services contemplated herein, wholly or in part, for such period as it deems necessary due to
unfavorable conditions or to the failure on the part of the Consultant to perform any provision of
this Agreement. Consultant will be paid for satisfactory services performed prior to the date of
suspension. During the period of suspension, Consultant shall not receive any payment for
services or expenses incurred by Consultant by reason of such suspension.
19. Merger; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement between City and Consultant and shall supersede all prior
negotiations, representations, or agreements, either written or oral. This document may be
amended only by written instrument, signed by both the City and Consultant. All provisions of
this Agreement are expressly made conditions.
20. Interpretation. This Agreement shall be interpreted as though it was a product of
a joint drafting effort and no provisions shall be interpreted against a party on the ground that
said party was solely or primarily responsible for drafting the language to be interpreted.
21. Litigation Costs. If either party becomes involved in litigation arising out of this
Agreement or the performance thereof, the court in such litigation shall award reasonable costs
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
and expenses, including attorneys' fees, to the prevailing party. In awarding attorneys' fees, the
court will not be bound by any court fee schedule, but shall, if it is in the interest of justice to do
so, award the full amount of costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees paid or incurred in good faith.
22. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a
written notice from City to proceed with work required by a Task Order, Consultant shall
immediately commence work to perform the services required by that Task Order according to
the time requirements set in the Task Order.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS for Consultant Services Agreement
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Consultant will maintain insurance in
conformance with the requirements set forth below. Consultant will use existing coverage to comply with
these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, Consultant
agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. Consultant acknowledges that the
insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage
required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this
agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to City.
Consultant shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial General Liability" policy form
CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross
liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in
no event less than $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) per occurrence.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 0001 including symbol 1 (Any Auto)
or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event to be less than $2,000,000 (Two
Million Dollars) per accident. If Consultant owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-

personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law
with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 (One Million Dollars) per accident or disease.

coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under
an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a
maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella.
Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf" basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy
limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at the time insured's liability is determined, not
requiring actual payment by the insured first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding
coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for
injury to employees of Consultant, subconsultants or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage
provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits
are subject to review but in no event less than $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) per occurrence.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be written on a policy form

agreement. The policy limit shall be no less than $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) per claim and in the
aggregate. The policy must "pay on behalf of" the insured and must include a provision establishing the
insurer's duty to defend. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this

Exhibit C
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are admitted carriers
in the state of California and with an A.M. Best's rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant. Consultant and City
agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant.
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required
herein to include as additional insureds the City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents,
and volunteers using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 20 10 or an approved equivalent. If
completed operations coverage is excluded, the policy must be endorsed to include such coverage.
Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Consultant,
or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss.
Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any
insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. The worker's compensation policy is to be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation. The insurance
company, in its endorsement, agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, its officers,
elected officials, employees, agents, and volunteers for losses paid under the terms of this policy
which arise from the work performed by the named insured for the City.
4. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this
agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this
Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of
such insurance coverage.
5. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include
any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in
writing.
6. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called
"third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the
insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
7. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional
requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of
coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may
affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
8. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance
evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's
general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In
the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is
canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty,
to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement
and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by
Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.
Exhibit C
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
9. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of
coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any
exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes
no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the
requirements of the certificate.
10. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be
provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary,
noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.
11. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who
is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance
coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and
assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with
subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
12. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any
portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor,
subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance
of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If
Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-
insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the
Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention,
substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
13. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and
types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of
such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will
negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been
executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in
furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
15. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional
obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
16. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents
face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies
whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this
obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
17. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of
this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same
coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A
coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate
of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to
Exhibit C
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v103
the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the
coverages.
18. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of
Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity
defenses under such laws with respect to City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents, and
volunteers.
19. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as
limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally
provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be
limiting or all-inclusive.
20. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in
this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
21. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to
the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
22. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any
way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional
insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with
reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying
with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other
amounts with respect thereto.
23. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant
arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by
such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims
if they are likely to involve City.
