Description for the project (see paragraph 5 below). Extensions of time for a specific Task Description may be granted if requested by Contractor and agreed to in writing by the City Manager or the Division Director as authorized by the City Manager (“Director”). The City Manager or Director will give allowance for documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by City inaction or other agencies' lack of timely action. In no event shall a specific Task Description exceed the term of this Agreement.

5. COMPENSATION
The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000).

The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or 5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by the City or CMWD must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non- productive activities, reducing rework and decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web- based Procore user account(s) and utilize web -based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.

Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project docum ents through Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification- subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team.

Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve the contractor of any other requirements as may be specified in the contract documents.

8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The p
ayment made to Contractor pursuant to the Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City will not be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contra ctor agrees to indemnify City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

9. CONTRACTOR EVALUATIONS
Work performed under this Master Services Agreement may be subject to the City’s contractor evaluation program. Prior to the release of any task orders, the Contractor will be notified of the program requirements and will receive a copy of the evaluation criteria and process.

Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City for the acts and omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor.

11. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.

12. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City) , indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work described herein caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.

13.1 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Contractor's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Contractor. If Contractor believes th at any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.

The full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to the City as an additional insured.

Description for the project (see paragraph 5 below). Extensions of time for a specific Task Description may be granted if requested by Contractor and agreed to in writing by the City Manager or the Division Director as authorized by the City Manager (“Director”) . The City Manager or Director will give allowance for documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by City inaction or other agencies' lack of timely action. In no event shall a specific Task Description exceed the term of this Agreement.

5. COMPENSATION
The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). Fees will be paid on a project -by-project basis and will be based on Contractor’s Schedule of Rates specified in Exhibit “A”. Prior to initiation of any project work by Contractor, City shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment (the "Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for City, the City Manager or Director, will be considered a part of this Agreement. The Task Description will include a detailed scope of services for the particular project being considered and a statement of Contractor's fee to complete the project in accordance with the specified scope of services.

If the City or CMWD elect to extend the term of the Master Services Agreement, adjustments to the rate schedule may be permitted. Upon receipt of a written request from the Contractor, the City or CMWD may consider approving a rate schedule increase . Rate schedule increases will be considered for each anniversary of the Agreement effective date after the initial three -year term .

The Contractor must submit a request and justification to increase the rate schedule at least sixty days prior to the anniversary of the effective date, assuming the City or CMWD opt to extend the Master Services Agreement. The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or 5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by the City or CMWD must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

6. PREVAILING WAGE RATES

13.1 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager approves a lower amount.

If Contractor believes th at any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.
