Form Approved April 2021 7
following), and California Government Code section 1090.
15.2 Consultant covenants that neither Consultant, nor any officer, principal or employee of its firm will make, participate in the making, or in any way attempt to use the position of Consultant to influence any decision of the Local Agency in which Consultant knows or has reason to know that Consultant, or any officer, principal or employee of Consultant has any of the financial interests listed in Government Code section 87103.

Consultant represents that, except as otherwise disclosed to Local Agency, it is unaware of any stated position of Local Agency relative to these projects. Any future position of Local Agency 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 Local Agency from all Services Claims and Operations Claims (each defined below) related to the performance by Consultant of this Agreement as provided in this section. Consultant acknowledges that Local Agency would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of Consultant’s commitment to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Local Agency as set forth in this section.
16.2 For the purposes of this section, “Local Agency” includes Local Agency’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 Local Agency 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 Local Agency 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 Local Agency’s sole negligence or willful misconduct (collectively, “Operations Claims”).
16.5 Consultant must notify Local Agency 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.
CC Agreement 2025-172
Form Approved April 2021 8
16.6 Consultant’s duty to defend Operations Claims is a separate and distinct obligation from Consultant’s duty to indemnify Local Agency for any Operations Claims. With respect to Operations Claims, Consultant is obligated to defend Local Agency in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel reasonably approved by Local Agency, 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.
16.7 Consultant agrees that settlement of any Operations or Services Claim against Local Agency requires the consent of Local Agency. Local Agency 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 Local Agency 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. Local Agency’s failure to monitor compliance with this requirement imposes no additional obligations on Local Agency 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 Local Agency 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 Local Agency 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.
CC Agreement 2025-172
Form Approved April 2021 9
Section 18. Assignment .
The expertise and experience of Consultant are material considerations for this Agreement. Local Agency 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 Local Agency, which may be withheld in the Local Agency’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment will be null and void, and will constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling Local Agency 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, Local Agency will have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any services performed after Local Agency provides written notice to Consultant of such default.
19.2 Consultant agrees that no Local Agency official, officer, employee or agent will be personally liable to Consultant in the event of any default or breach of Local Agency, or for any amount which may become due to Consul tant, or for any obligations directly or indirectly incurred under this Agreement.
19.3 Local Agency’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 Local Agency’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 Local Agency’s termination of this Agreement.

1. Required Insurance. Before commencing any services, Consultant must procure and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the following types of insurance with at least the minimum coverage listed and subject to the applicable additional requirements set forth below:
Type of Insurance Limits
Commercial General Liability $1,000,000 / $2,000,000 (occurrence/aggregate) Business Automobile Liability $1,000,000 combined single Workers’ Compensation Statutory Requirements
Professional Liability $1,000,000
2. Insurance Rating. All insurance required to be maintained by Consultant must be issued by companies licensed by or admitted to conduct insurance business in the State of California by the California Department of Insurance and must have a rating of A- or better and Financial Size Cat egory Class VII or better by the latest edition of A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by Local Agency’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 Local Agency, its officers, employees and agents, and volunteers; blanket endorsements are acceptable. 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 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 Local Agency, its officers, employees and agents, and volunteers; blanket endorsements are acceptable.

If Consultant has any employees, Consultant must maintain workers’ compensation insurance (statutory lim its) 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 the Local Agency, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; a blanket endorsement is acceptable.
CC Agreement 2025-172
Form Approved April 2021 C-2
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 through a period not less than three years after the completion of the services required under this Agreement.
7. 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 Local Agency. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of Local Agency following receipt of the required proof of insurance.
8. Consultant’s Limitations and Endorsements. The Consultant’s insurance policies must not include any endorsements or provisions that limit coverage for the following risks:
explosion, collapse, or underground hazards (XCU); products and completed operations; and contractual liability. These coverages must be specifically included without any exclusions, modifications, or restrictions that would limit the scope of protection otherwise afforded by the basic policies. Any endorsement or exclusion that reduces or eliminates coverage for the above-listed risks is unacceptable.
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 Local Agency. 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 Local Agency in its sole discretion. At the option of Local Agency, either the insurer will reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the Local Agency’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 Local Agency certificates of insurance and endorsements evidencing the existence of all insurance required by this Agreement, along with such other evidence of insurance or certified copies of policies as may reasonably be required by Local Agency. These certificates of insurance and endorsements must be in a form approved by the Local Agency’s legal counsel. Consultant must maintain current certificates and endorsements on file with Local Agency 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 Local Agency by certified mail, return receipt requested (except for nonpayment for which a 10-day notice is required). The delivery to Local Agency of any certificates of insurance or endorsements that do not comply with the requirements CC Agreement 2025-172
Form Approved April 2021 C-3
of this Agreement will not waive the Local Agency’s right to require compliance. In the event that Consultant’s policies are materially changed, Consultant must provide the Local Agency with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the applicable changes. Local Agency 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 Local Agency may, but is not obligated to, obtain such coverage at Consultant’s expense and deduct the cost from the sums due Consultant. Alternatively, Local Agency 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 Local Agency in excess of the limits and coverages required by this Agreement, and whic h is applicable to a given loss, must be made available to Local Agency 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 . Local Agency 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 Local Agency 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.
