present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite such response.
10.5 All media and press releases, including graphic display information, must be approved and distributed solely by City, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by City.

Section 15. Conflicts of Interest .
15.1 Consultant covenants that neither Consultant, nor any officer, principal or employee of its firm, has or will acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, that would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or that would in any way hinder Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement.

Form Approved April 2021 7 CC Agreement No. 2024-113
15.3 If Consultant discovers that it has employed a person with a direct or indirect interest that would conflict with its performance of this Agreement, Consultant must promptly disclose the relationship to City and take such action as City may direct to remedy the conflict.
15.4 City understands and acknowledges that Consultant is, as of the Effective Date, independently involved in the performance of non-related services for other governmental agencies and private parties. Consultant represents that, except as otherwise disclosed to City, it is unaware of any stated position of City relative to these projects. Any future position of City on these projects will not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.
Section 16. Indemnification.
16.1 Consultant agrees that it will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City from all Services Claims and Operations Claims (each defined below) related to the performance by Consultant of th is Agreement as provided in this section.
Consultant acknowledges that City would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of Consultant’s commitment to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City as set forth in this section.
16.2 For the purposes of this section, “City” includes City’s officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers, and “Consultant” includes Consultant’s officers, officials, employees, agents and subcontractors and any other persons for whom Consultant is legally responsible.
16.3 With respect to the performance of professional services under this Agreement where the law establishes a professional standard of care for such services, Consultant agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless City from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including but not limited to reimbursement of reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs of defense, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant (collectively, “Services Claims”).
16.4 With respect to the acts and operations of Consultant under this Agreement other than the performance of professional services, Consul tant agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs of defense, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant, and excepting only those claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and costs caused by City’s sole negligence or willful misconduct (collectively, “Operations Claims”).
16.5 Consultant must notify City within five days of receipt of notice of any Operations Claims or Services Claims made or legal action initiated that arises out of or pertains to Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement.
16.6 Consultant’s duty to defend Operations Claims is a separate and distinct obligation from Consultant’s duty to indemnify City for any Operations Claims. With respect to Operations Claims, Consultant is obligated to defend City in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel reasonably approved by City, immediately upon tender to Consultant of an Operations Claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Consultant are responsible for the Operations Claim does not relieve Consultant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this section. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals.
Form Approved April 2021 8 CC Agreement No. 2024-113
16.7 Consultant agrees that settlement of any O perations or Services Claim against City requires the consent of City. City agrees that its consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that Consultant is financially able (based on demonstrated assets including insurance) to fulfill its obligation to indemnify City for the costs of any such settlement as required under this Agreement.
16.8 The insurance required to be maintained by Consultant under this Agreement is intended to ensure Consultant’s obligations under this section, but the limits of such insurance do not limit the liability of Consultant.
16.9 Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement. If Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required, Consultant will be fully responsible for all obligations under this section. City’s failure to monitor compliance with this requirement imposes no ad ditional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement.
16.10 The parties acknowledge and agree that design professionals are required to defend and indemnify the City only to the extent permitted by Civil Code section 2782.8, which allows for claims only to the extent that they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the design professional, and also places limitations on the costs of defense that may be charged to a design professional. The term "design professional,” is defined in Section 2782.8, and includes licensed architects, licensed landscape architects, registered professional engineers, professional land surveyors and the business entities that offer such services in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 16 are to be interpreted and applied to the fullest extent permitted by Civil Code section 2782.8.
16.11 The provisions of this section will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Exhibit C (Insurance).
Section 17. Insurance .
Consultant agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the insurance coverages listed in Exhibit C (Insur ance), which is made a part of this Agreement.
All insurance policies are subject to approval by City as to form and content. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the City Manager or City Attorney.
Section 18. Assignment .
The expertise and experience of Consultant are material considerations for this Agreement. City has an interest in the qualifications of and capability of the persons and entities that will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Consultant under this Agreement. In recognition of that interest, Consultant may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Consultant’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of City, which may be withheld in the City’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment will be null and void, and will constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including summary termination of this Agreement.
Section 19. Default; Limitations on Liability .
19.1 In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, City will have
Form Approved April 2021 9 CC Agreement No. 2024-113
no obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any services performed after City provides written notice to Consultant of such default.
19.2 Consultant agrees that no City official, officer, employee or agent will be personally liable to Consultant in the event of any default or breach of City, or for any amount which may become due to Consultant, or for any obligations directly or indirectly incurred under this Agreement.
19.3 City’s liability under this Agreement is limited to payment of Consultant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and excludes any liability whatsoever for consequential or indirect damages even if such damages are foreseeable.

Compensation for work in progress not based on an hourly rate will be prorated based on the percentage of work completed as of the date of termination.
20.4 Consultant acknowledges City’s rights to terminate this Agreement as provided in this section, and hereby waives any and all claims for damages that might otherwise arise from City’s termination of this Agreement.

Workers’ Compensation Statutory Requirements
Professional Liability $2,000,000
Cyber Liability $1,000,000
2. Insurance Rating.

Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by City’s legal counsel.
3. Commercial General Liability Insurance. The commercial general liability insurance must meet or exceed the requirements of Insuranc e Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, and must be provided on a per occurrence basis for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. The insurance must be on an “occurrence” not a “claims made” basis. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There must be no cros s-liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. The insurance must include a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self-insurance, a primary and non-contributory endorsement, and an additional insured endorsement, all in favor of the City, its officers, employees and agents, and volunteers. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
4. Business Automobile Insurance. The business automobile insurance coverage must be at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01, covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with the services to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount stated above per combined single limit for each accident. Such insurance must include both a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self-insurance, and a primary and non-contributory endorsement, both in favor of the City, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
5. Workers’ Compensation. If Consultant has any employees, Consultant must maintain workers’ compensation insurance (statutory limits) and employer’s liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000). Such insurance must include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
6. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance . The professional liability insurance must cover the services to be performed under this Agreement. The coverage must be provided on a “claims made” basis. Consultant must maintain continuous coverage
Form Approved April 2021 C-2
through a period not less than three years after the completion of the services required under this Agreement.
7. Cyber Liability Insurance . The cyber liability insurance must include the following coverage:
a. Liability arising from the theft, dissemination and/or use of confidential or personally identifiable information; including credit monitoring and regulatory fines arising from such theft, dissemination or use of the confidential information. b. Network security liability arising from the unauthorized use of, access to, or tampering with computer systems.
c. Liability arising from the failure of technology products (software) required under the Agreement for Consultant to properly perform the services intended. d. Electronic media liability arising from personal injury, plagiarism or misappropriation of ideas, domain name infringement or improper deep-linking or framing, and infringement or violation of intellectual property rights.
e. Liability arising from the failure to render professional services If coverage is maintained on a “claims-made” basis, Consultant must maintain such coverage for an additional period of three years following termination of the Agreement.
8. Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance . If an excess or umbrella liability policy is used to meet minimum limit requirements, the insurance must provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella or excess liability policy must include a “drop-down provision” requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any reason. Coverage must be provided on a “pay-on- behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There may be no cross- liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another.
The policy must “follow form” to the underlying primary policy. Coverage must be applicable to all insureds under the primary policies. The insurance must contain or be endorsed to contain a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self-insurance, and a primary and non-contributory endorsement for the benefit of City. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of the required proof of insurance.
9. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retention . Any deductibles or self-insured retentions applicable to the insurance policies required under this Agreement must be declared to and approved by City. In no event may any required insurance policy have a deductible, self- insured retention or other similar policy provision in excess of $50,000 without prior written approval by City in its sole discretion. At the option of City, either the insurer will reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the City’s additional insureds or Consultant will procure a bond guaranteeing payment of any losses, damages, expenses, costs or settlements up to the amount of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
10. Certificates of Insurance and Endorsements; Notice of Termination or Changes to Policies. Prior to commencing any services under this Agreement, Consultant must file with the City certificates of insurance and endorsements evidencing the existence of all insurance required by this Agreement, along with such other evidence of insurance or
Form Approved April 2021 C-3
certified copies of policies as may reasonably be required by City. These certificates of insurance and endorsements must be in a form approved by the City’s legal counsel.
Consultant must maintain current certificates and endorsements on file with City during the term of this Agreement reflecting the existence of all required insurance. Each of the certificates must expressly provide that no material change in the policy, or termination or cancellation of the required coverage, will be effective except upon 30 days’ prior written notice to City by certified mail, return receipt requested (except for nonpayment for which a 10-day notice is required). The delivery to City of any certificates of insurance or endorsements that do not comply with the requirements of this Agreement will not waive the City’s right to require compliance. In the event that Consultant’s policies are materially changed, Consultant must provide the City with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the applicable changes. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.
11. Failure to Maintain Required Insurance . If Consultant, for any reason, fails to have in place at all times during the term of this Agreement all of the required insurance coverage, the City may, but is not obligated to, obtain such coverage at Consultant’s expense and deduct the cost from the sums due Consultant. Alternatively, City may terminate the Agreement.
12. Effect of Coverage . The existence of the required insurance coverage under this Agreement will not be deemed to satisfy or lim it Consultant’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement. Consultant acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this Agreement constitute the minimum coverage and policy limits required. Should any coverage carried by the Consultant or any subcontractor of any tier have limits of liability that exceed the limits or have broader coverage than required in this Agreement, those higher limits and that broader coverage are deemed to apply for the benefit of any person or organization included as an additional insured and those limits and broader coverage will become the required minimum limits and insurance coverage in all sections of this Agreement. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverages required by this Agreement, and which is applicable to a given loss, must be made available to City to compensate it for such losses.
13. Required Insurance for Subconsultants/Subcontractors . Consultant agrees to ensure that any subconsultants/subcontractors providing services under this Agreement provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to review and monitor all such coverage and assumes responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement.
14. Right to Revise Insurance Specifications . City reserves the right to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant at least 90 days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, the parties may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
15. Timely Notice of Claims . Consultant must give City prompt notice of claims made of lawsuits initiated that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability insurance policies.
