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 justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requ ested 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.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to the Agreement will be the full and complete compensation t o w h i c h C o n t r a c t o r i s e n t i t l e d . C i t y w i l l n o t m a k e a n y f e d e r a l o r s t a t e t a x w i t h h o l d i n g s o n b e h a l f o f Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors.

Item #2 Page 360 of 680
PSA25-3556CA
Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and City. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors.

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 in cluding 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 employ ed 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 em ployees 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 that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.

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.

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.

Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City.

PSA25-3557CA
Pag e 4 City Attorney Approved Version 5/22/2024
Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and City. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Contractor's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by City.
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.
If C
ontractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor ’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, and, upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction. Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
The p
arties expressly agree that any payment, attorney’s fee, costs or expense City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
13. INSURANCE
Contractor will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

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.

Representatives of Contractor or City will reduce such questions, and their respective views, to writing.
