Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 18. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Joshua Boudreaux, Director of Human Resources HR Administration Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 24-104, AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION SALARYRATE FOR THE BUDGET MANAGER POSITION (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On August 26, 2024, the City Council approved the creation of a Budget Manager position within the Finance Department. However, the salary range used during this approval was based on the 2022 AME monthly schedule.

To align with the five percent increase approved by AME, staff needed to use Range 501 in the 2023 approved monthly salary schedule. Staff is now requesting City Council approval for this update to accurately reflect the correct salary range.

II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 24-104, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION SALARY RATE FOR BUDGET MANAGER.” III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action that City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
The Finance Department identified the need for a Budget Manager to handle advanced responsibilities. In response, AME consulted with Human Resources, and the review confirmed that this role was essential due to an expanded scope of duties, increased task complexity, and evolving priorities within the City's operational and strategic framework. As a result, the creation of the Budget Manager position was presented to and approved by the City Council on August 26, 2024. Although the salary code presented to the Council was accurate, the range did not reflect the most recent MOU year, prompting a request to update it in line with the five percent adjustment made on June 24, 2023.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from the proposed resolutions as these positions were already approved in the adopted Fiscal Year 2024-25 operating budget.

The objective is to enhance safety by reducing criminal incidents, creating a secure environment for both residents and park users.

Update Video surveillance and access control systems have been installed at several parks. The team is now working on the second phase of the project, which will involve adding additional cameras and extending coverage to mini parks. This expansion aims to enhance security measures across all recreational areas, ensuring a safer environment for the community. The second phase will include assessing the current system's effectiveness, determining optimal locations for new cameras, and integrating these additions into the existing infrastructure. The team is committed to implementing advanced technology to improve park safety and monitor activities more effectively.

These cameras will be strategically positioned in specific locations throughout the city, including public rights of way and entrances to city facilities.

The LPR system will collect comprehensive vehicle data, including make, model, color, and speed, both during daytime and nighttime conditions. The City's Public Safety department is working in partnership with LASD and Public Works to decrease traffic accidents within the city. Staff members have created data maps, and the Traffic Engineering Division will assess these maps to identify any recurring patterns and make infrastructure adjustments as necessary.

Update ALPR trailers will continue to be deployed at city events, serving as both messaging boards and tools to enhance community safety.

Project Name Upgrading Radio Systems Project
Service Provider Mission Critical Information Systems
Summary In 2021, the City Council granted approval for the 'Radio Upgrade Project,' which allocated funds for the procurement of radios, radio equipment, batteries, and chargers necessary for transitioning the City from its UHF radio system to the Los Angeles Regional Interoperability Communication System (LA-RICS). Subsequently, the City Council sanctioned a contract with Mission Critical Information Systems to oversee the installation and programming, thus marking the successful completion of Phase 2 of the project. In September 2022, the City of Carson formalized a Hold Harmless Agreement with LA-RICS, granting the city the privilege of utilizing the platform.

Update Distribution of additional mobile radios has been completed amongst several departments.

This plan serves to identify potential natural and human-induced hazards that the city may face vulnerability to and outlines strategies for mitigating or reducing risks associated with such incidents and events.

Update A preliminary version of the Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) has been released. The planning team has conducted an internal review. The HMP draft has been submitted to Cal OES for their initial review.

Project Name Basement/Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Upgrade Project Service Provider Westberg + White, GM Interiors, Johnson Controls Summary The project is currently in its planning phase. Initially, the project scope only covered the upgrade of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). However, during the planning phase, it became evident that the Public Safety, Information Technology, and Emergency Services sectors could also derive substantial benefits from the upgrade. As a result, the revised scope of work encompasses upgrades for all four areas.

Update The basement renovations have been approved by the council, and has begun. This will involve detailed planning and coordination with the contractor to ensure the project stays on schedule and meets all required standards. Staff will be overseeing the progress closely to ensure a smooth and efficient renovation process.

Update Our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Awareness Course took place on April 18th and received overall positive feedback.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 19. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Gary Carter, Director, Information Technology and Security ITS Administration Subject: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORMSOFTWARE LICENSES, MAINTENANCE, AND SUPPORT WITH INSIGHT PUBLIC SECTOR, INC. (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City requires Google Cloud Platform software licenses, maintenance, and support to provide an interactive website chatbot, offering a significant improvement to the City’s document archival, storage and retrieval search to support the City’s ongoing commitment to transparency, accessibility, and an improved customer experience. The Google Cloud software will be implemented to improve public queries and requests for services on the City’s new website currently in development.  The City currently does not have a chatbot on the current city website and the Google Cloud Platform will resolve complaints from the public about the difficulty searching for historical and archived information. The Google Cloud Platform agreement will provide software licenses for Google Compute, Storage and Databases, Networking, Big Data Transfer, Machine Learning, APIs, Internet-of-Things (IoT), Management, Develop and Security Tools. Staff is requesting City Council to consider approval of a new Contract with Insight Public Sector, Inc. to provide Google Cloud Platform software licenses, maintenance, and support under the State of California Cooperative Purchasing Program.

Staff is requesting City Council to consider approval of a Contract with Insight Public Sector, Inc. to provide Google Cloud Platform software licenses, maintenance, and support under the NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Program, for a total amount of $208,223.16 over a 3-year term, with an initial year amount of $69,407.72 and $69,407.72 for each renewal year.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1.  APPROVE a contract with Insight Public Sector, Inc. for Google Cloud Platform software licenses, including software maintenance, and software support for a total contract amount not to exceed $208,223.16, for a term of 3 years; and

2.  AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the contract after approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate and consistent with the requirements of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance.
701 East Carson Street
IV. BACKGROUND
The City requires Google Cloud Platform Software Licenses to add a state-of-the art chatbot in response to resident requests for an interactive user experience option, enable text support, and coordinate handoff to the appropriate City representative via chat or phone during City business hours. In addition, residents have requested an improved user experience to search and access historical website documents. The City currently has a contract with Revize, LLC for the new City website development services currently in progress. However, Revize, LLC is not an authorized reseller for Google Cloud Platform licenses. City staff will coordinate with Revize, LLC to update the appropriate webpages to incorporate Google Cloud Platform into the new website design.

City staff seeks approval of a contract to procure and implement the City’s Google Cloud Platform software licenses. Staff received competitive pricing from Insight Public Sector, Inc. under the NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Program.

Section 2611(g) of the City’s Municipal Code (CMC) allows City, through its Purchasing Manager, to dispense with competitive bidding processes to purchase materials, supplies, equipment, or services by utilizing a cooperative purchasing program engaged in by any local, county, State, or Federal public entity or entities, even if the contracts and implementing agreements entered into by the participating entity or association under those cooperative purchasing programs were not entered into pursuant to a process that resulted in the contract being awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder under CMC 2610(i); provided, that the selected bidder was selected in compliance with the competitive bidding or proposal process requirements of any participating entity or association within three years of City’s approval of the City contract entered into with the selected bidder via cooperative purchasing. The City Council has made a determination that the benefits to City of utilizing cooperative purchasing outweigh any incremental higher price that may be paid by City in certain instances as a result of not soliciting directly utilizing the lowest responsible and responsive bidder standard under CMC 2610(i).

The State of California is part of a NASPO cooperative purchasing program through which it entered into a contract with Google Cloud Platform Services supplied by Google, LLC authorized resellers including Insight Public Sector, Inc., referred to as The State of California Participating Addendum Number# 7-17-70-40-01-61001590 and California NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement Number#AR2485, after engaging in a competitive bidding process, whereby it now receives Google Cloud Platform licenses at a significantly discounted rate.

The City’s Purchasing Manager has determined that the competitive bidding or proposal process utilized by The State of California for Google Cloud Platform Services licenses complies with the requirements of Section 2611(g) of the CMC and has therefore, waived the formal bidding process for procurement of the Google Cloud Platform licenses.

The City and Insight Public Sector, Inc., seek approval from City Council to execute a contract for total amount not to exceed $208,223.16 for a maximum term of three (3) years.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The cost associated with the 3-year contract with Insight Public Sector, Inc., is not to exceed the amount of $208,223.16. The first-year costs for software licenses, including maintenance and support, is for a total of $69,407.72.

The total cost of $69,407.72 for the initial year of software licensing, including maintenance, and support is included in the current Information Technology & Security Department FY2024-25 budget. Software licensing, maintenance and support will be included in the proposed FY2025-26 and subsequent fiscal year budgets.

Fiscal Year Amount Account Number

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 20. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Whittiker, Community Services Director CS Community Services Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING(MOU) BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY DOMINGUEZ HILLS(CSUDH) TO EXPAND EXISTING OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAM TO INCLUDE ALL STUDENTS IN THECOLLEGE OF HEALTH, HUMAN SERVICES, AND NURSING (CHHSN) TO OBTAIN APPLICABLE EXPERIENCEIN CITY PROGRAMS (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Since 2015, the City of Carson has collaborated with California State University Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) to provide current Occupational Therapy students the opportunity to obtain real-time, professional experience by working in the City's program at no cost to Carson. Currently, the MOU (Exhibit    No. 1) and its subsequent Council- approved Amendment 1 (Exhibit No. 2) only permits students in this field to participate through June 30, 2029. The proposed Amendment 2 will authorize potential future partnerships during the term of the MOU (i.e., between now and June 30, 2029) across all programs within the College of Health, Human Services, and Nursing (CHHSN). Each specific subject area will still require a separate Implementation Agreement detailing how each endeavor will operate; however, Amendment No. 2 provides the City with the ability to initiate an expanded partnership with the University and College. The goal of this proposal is to allow other students in CHHSN to acquire needed experience while providing additional services to the Carson community.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE Amendment No. 2 to Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Carson and California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) that will expand its collaboration to include students across all programs in the College of Health, Human Services, and Nursing.

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Memorandum of Understanding, following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
701 East Carson Street
For the past nine (9) years, the City of Carson and California State University Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) have partnered on an initiative that allows current  Occupational Therapy students to obtain hands-on experience by working in the City's Occupational Therapy (OT) program.  This endeavor is intended to help students grow professionally while providing OT participants a much-need service free of charge. This collaboration was approved through an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that established the criteria for cooperation between both parties and coordinates the placement of CSUDH students in the program (Exhibit No. 1).  On June 18, 2024, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to this MOU to extend the term of the relationship through June 30, 2029 (Exhibit No. 2).

To further strengthen this collaboration and provide additional services to residents, staff seeks the ability to partner across all programs within the College of Health, Human Services, and Nursing (CHHSN) during the extended term of the MOU.  Approval of Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit No. 3) would provide staff the ability to initiate an expanded relationship with the College, and therefore work with each subject area to develop the required Implementation Agreement that would allow this endeavor to grow.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Section 3141 et seq), and the implementation regulations issued pursuant thereto (29 C.F.R. Section 1, 3, and 5) and any amendments thereof. In the event there is a conflict between the amount of prevailing wages to be paid between state and federal laws, the contractor and all subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.

EMPLOYMENT OF APPRENTICES: Attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 of the California Labor Code concerning employment of apprentices by the Contractor, or any Subcontractor under the Contractor. The Contractor, and any Subcontractor under the Contractor, shall comply with the requirements of said sections in the employment of apprentices; 8 however, the Contractor shall have full responsibility for compliance with said Labor Code sections for all apprenticeable occupations, regardless of any other contractual or employment relationships alleged to exist.

(1%) of the prime contractor's total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater.

To this end, each Bidder should contact the Engineering Services Division to verify that he has received all Addenda issued, if any.

In addition, Bidders shall fill in all blank spaces (including inserting "N/A" where applicable) and initial all interlineations, alterations, or erasures to the Contract Bid Forms.

7. MODIFICATIONS OF BIDS
Each Bidder shall submit its Bid in strict conformity with the requirements of the Bid Documents. Each Bid prepared by Bidder shall be complete in itself and shall be submitted electronically through Planet Bids.

ORAL, TELEPHONIC AND FACSIMILE BIDS OR MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

8. SIGNING OF BIDS
All Bids submitted shall be executed by the Bidder or its authorized representative. Bidders will be asked to provide evidence in the form of an authenticated resolution of its Board of Directors or a Power of Attorney evidencing the capacity of the person signing the Bid to bind the Bidder to each Bid and to any Contract arising therefrom. 14 If a Bidder is a joint venture or partnership, it will be asked to submit an authenticated Power of Attorney executed by each joint venturer or partner appointing and designating one of the joint venturers or partners as a management sponsor to execute the Bid on behalf of Bidder. Only that joint venturer or partner shall execute the Bid. The Power of Attorney shall also: (1) authorize that particular joint venturer or partner to act for and bind Bidder in all matters relating to the Bid; and (2) provide that each venturer or partner shall be jointly and severally liable for any and all of the duties and obligations of Bidder assumed under the Bid and under any Contract arising therefrom. The Bid shall be executed by the designation joint venturer or partner on behalf of the joint venture or partnership in its legal name. All signatures on Powers of Attorney must be witnessed by a notary.

9. BID GUARANTEE (BOND)
Each bid shall be accompanied by cash, a certified or cashier's check, bid bond (the bid bond must be submitted on the form included in these Bid Documents) or equivalent substitution in lieu of a bond, as authorized by Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.710, in an amount not less than 10% of the Total Bid Price.

By submitting a bid, each bidder agrees that its failure to enter the Contract if awarded the work or to provide the Bonds and other information or documentation described above would result in damage to the City, and that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of that damage. For this reason, each bidder agrees that the City may retain the bid guarantee as liquidated damages if the bidder is awarded the work but fails or refuses to timely enter into the Contract or to provide the Bonds and other information or documentation described above, except as may otherwise be required by California law.

If electing to provide a Bid Bond, as set forth above, each Bidder must obtain such a bond from an admitted surety insurer, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, authorized to do business as such in the State of California and satisfactory to the City. In addition, the Bid Bond must be submitted on the form furnished by the City, or one substantially in conformance with the City's form if previously approved in writing by the City.

Certified or cashier's checks must be drawn on a solvent state bank or a California branch of a solvent national bank.

After the City has made an award to the successful Bidder, and the Bidder has signed a Contract, submitted the necessary bonds, original insurance certificates and endorsements, and any other certifications as may be required by the Contract, the remaining Bid guarantees shall be returned to each particular bidder if requested by that bidder. If the City rejects all Bids, it will promptly return to all Bidders their Bid guarantees.

After the Bids have been opened, they will be checked for accuracy and compliance with all provisions as specified herein.

The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality or irregularity in any bid received and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective bids received including for responsiveness and determination of Bidder’s responsibility.

The award, if made, will be made within ninety (90) days after the opening of the bids, provided that the award may be made after said period if the successful bidder shall not have given the City written notice of the withdrawal of his or her bid.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

In selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing but also to the general competency of the bidder for the performance of the work covered by the plans and specifications. To this end, each bid shall be supported by a statement of the bidder's experience on the form entitled "Construction Project Reference” bound herein. A bidder may be required to present evidence that he has successfully performed similar work of comparable magnitude or submit other evidence satisfactory to the City that he or his associates are personally competent to manage the proposed undertaking and to carry it forward to a successful conclusion.

No bid will be awarded to a Contractor who, at the time of the bid opening and “Award of the Contract,” is not licensed in accordance with the laws of the State of California under applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code or to a Contractor who has failed to demonstrate the attributes of trustworthiness, quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily and fully perform under the public works contract. The Contractor shall include the Contractor's license number, license classification, and license expiration date on the form furnished herein entitled "Construction Project Reference.” The licensing requirements for Contractors shall apply also to Subcontractors. In addition, any contractor or subcontractor who is ineligible under Lab C §§1777.1 and 1777.7 is prohibited from working on this Project.

Only manufacturers or contractors of established reputation or their duly authorized dealers or agents, having proper facilities for the manufacture of the materials or equipment and for 17 servicing same, or for proper execution of the work called for in the contract, will be considered in making the award.

15. DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS
Pursuant to both state and federal law, the Bidders must designate the name, location of the place of business, the California contractor license number, and the public works contractor registration number issued pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code and Title 49, Section 26.11 of the Code of Federal Regulations, of each subcontractor who will perform work or render services for the prime Bidder in an amount that exceeds one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder's Total Bid Price, as well as the portion of work each such subcontractor will perform. Bidders must make these designations, as well as any others requested by the City, on the document titled "List of Proposed Subcontractors" which has been included with the Contract Bid Forms. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 4104, the City has determined that it will allow Bidders twenty-four (24) additional hours after the deadline for submission of bids to submit the information requested by the City about each subcontractor, other than the name, license number, DIR registration number, and location of each subcontractor.

16. LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to Section 7028.15 of the Business and Professions Code and Section 3300 of the Public Contract Code, all bidders must possess proper licenses for performance of this Contract. Subcontractors must possess the appropriate licenses for each specialty subcontracted. Pursuant to Section 7028.5 of the Business and Professions Code, the City shall consider any bid submitted by a contractor not currently licensed in accordance with state law and pursuant to the requirements found in the Bid Documents to be non- responsive, and the City shall reject the Bid. The City shall have the right to request, and the Bidders shall provide within five (5) Calendar Days, evidence satisfactory to the City of all valid license(s) currently held by that Bidder and each of the Bidder's subcontractors, before awarding the Contract.

17. DISQUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS; INTEREST IN MORE THAN ONE BID No bidder shall be allowed to make, submit or be interested in more than one bid. However, a person, firm, corporation or other entity that has submitted a sub bid to a bidder, or that has quoted prices of materials to a bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub bid or quoting prices to other bidders submitting a bid to the City.

More than one bid from an individual, firm, partnership, corporation, or association under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any bidder is interested in more than one bid for the work contemplated will cause the rejection of all bids in which such bidder is interested. If there is reason for believing that collusion exists among the bidders, all bids will be rejected and none of the participants in such collusion will be considered in future bids. Similarly, failure to comply with the registration requirements of Labor Code Section 1725.5, as further described in the Invitation for Bids, will disqualify a Bidder.

INSTRUCTIONS
The Fair Employment Practices in Contracts, as adopted by Owner, requires that the Owner not do business with any firm that discriminates against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Accordingly, every contract or subcontract of the Owner in excess of $10,000 for public works, or for goods and services, must be accompanied by a Certificate of Non-Discrimination, obligating the contractor or subcontractor to observe the requirements specified therein.

In addition to the Certificate of Non-Discrimination, the Fair Employment Practices in Contracts also requires that the lowest responsible bidder undertake an affirmative course of action to promote equal employment opportunities and to ensure that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Completion of the attached compliance report will satisfy this requirement. The apparent successful low bidder and each of its subcontractors must submit one copy of the compliance report to the City Engineer, Carson City Hall, 701 East Carson Street, Carson, California 90745, within three days after the opening of bids.

AGREEMENT
ARTICLE 1. CONTRACTOR SERVICES

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Bid Documents and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

1.2 Incorporation of Greenbook.

The provisions of the 2018 Edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, as updated by errata, (“Greenbook”) are incorporated herein, except as explicitly modified by the Bid Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Greenbook and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

1.3 Compliance with Labor and Wage Laws.
(a) Public Work. The Parties acknowledge that the work to be performed under this Agreement is a “public work” as defined in Labor Code Section 1720 and that this Agreement is therefore subject to the requirements of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code relating to public works contracts and the rules and regulations established by the Department of Industrial Relations (“ DIR”) implementing such statutes. The work performed under this Agreement is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Contractor shall post job site notices, as prescribed by regulation. (b) Registration with DIR. Pursuant to Labor Code section 1771.1, Contractor and all subcontractors must be registered with, and pay an annual fee to, the DIR prior to and during the performance of any work under this Agreement. (c) Prevailing Wages. Contractor shall pay prevailing wages to the extent required by Labor Code Section 1771. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages are on file at City Hall and will be made available to any interested party on request. By initiating any work under this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the DIR determination of the prevailing rate of per diem wages, and Contractor shall post a copy of the same at each job site where work is performed under this Agreement. If this Agreement is subject to the payment of federal prevailing wages under the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. § 3141 et seq.), then Contractor shall pay the higher of either the state for federal prevailing wage applicable to each laborer.
(d) Penalty for Failure to Pay Prevailing Wages. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 concerning the payment of prevailing rates of wages to workers and the penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done pursuant to this Agreement by Contractor or by any subcontractor.
(e) Payroll Records. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1776, which requires Contractor and each subcontractor to: keep accurate payroll records and verify such records in writing under penalty of perjury, as specified in Section 1776; certify and make such payroll records available for inspection as provided by Section 1776; and inform the City of the location of the records. 54 (f) Apprentices. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1777.5, 1777.6, and 1777.7 and California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 200 et seq. concerning the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with these aforementioned Sections for all apprenticeable occupations. Prior to commencing work under this Agreement, Contractor shall provide City with a copy of the information submitted to any applicable apprenticeship program. Within sixty (60) days after concluding work pursuant to this Agreement, Contractor and each of its subcontractors shall submit to the City a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed under this Agreement.
(g) Eight-Hour Work Day. Contractor acknowledges that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by Labor Code Section 1810.
(h) Penalties for Excess Hours. Contractor shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1813 concerning penalties for workers who work excess hours. The Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the performance of this Agreement by the Contractor or by any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code. Pursuant to Labor Code section 1815, work performed by employees of Contractor in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day at not less than one and one-half (1½) times the basic rate of pay.
(i) Workers’ Compensation. California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700 provide that every employer will be required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees if it has employees. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1861, Contractor certifies as follows:
“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”
(j) Contractor’s Responsibility for Subcontractors. For every subcontractor who will perform work under this Agreement, Contractor shall be responsible for such subcontractor’s compliance with Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of the California Labor Code, and shall make such compliance a requirement in any contract with any subcontractor for work under this Agreement. Contractor shall be required to take all actions necessary to enforce such contractual provisions and ensure subcontractor’s compliance, including without limitation, conducting a review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor on a periodic basis or upon becoming aware of the failure of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the specified prevailing rate of wages. Contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify any such failure by any subcontractor.
55 1.4 Compliance with Project Labor Agreement
If and to the extent that the work to be performed under this Agreement is within the scope of the City’s Project Labor Agreement, which was fully executed as of March 4, 2020, by and between the City and the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Signatory Craft Councils and Unions (the “Project Labor Agreement”), City and Contractor acknowledge and agree that Contractor is required to comply with the provisions of the Project Labor Agreement, and that in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Project Labor Agreement, the Project Labor Agreement shall supersede and take precedence over the conflicting provision(s) of this Agreement.

1.5 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments.

Contractor shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits, registrations, and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement. Contractor shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for the Contractor’s performance of the services required by this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against City hereunder.

1.6 Familiarity with Work.

By executing this Agreement, Contractor warrants that Contractor (i) has thoroughly investigated and considered the scope of work to be performed, (ii) has carefully considered how the services should be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending performance of the services under this Agreement. If the services involve work upon any site, Contractor warrants that Contractor has or will investigate the site and is or will be fully acquainted with the conditions there existing, prior to commencement of services hereunder.

1.7 Discovery of Unknown Conditions.
(a) Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7104, Contractor shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the City, in writing, of any: (i) material Contractor believes may be hazardous waste as defined in Section 25117 of the Health & Safety Code required to be removed to a Class I, II, or III disposal site in accordance with existing law; (ii) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site, materially different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids on the project; or (iii) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement.
(b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, shall issue a change order in accordance with this Agreement.
56 (c) In the event that a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date set, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law, which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.

1.8 Unidentified Utilities.

To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, City will compensate Contractor for the cost of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of Contractor to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating utility facilities not identified by City in the Bid Documents with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the project necessarily idled during such work. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require City to indicate the presence of existing service laterals or appurtenances whenever the presence of such utilities on the project site can be inferred from the presence of other visible facilities, such as buildings, meters, and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the site of the construction; provided, however, nothing herein shall relieve City from identifying main or trunklines in the plans and specifications. If Contractor, while performing the work, discovers utility facilities not identified by City in the plans or specifications, Contractor shall immediately notify City and the utility in writing. This Agreement is subject to Government Code sections 4126 through 4216.9. Contractor must notify utilities and obtain an identification number before excavation or be subject to liability for damages to subsurface installations.

1.9 Trench Excavation.

Pursuant to Labor Code section 6705, if this Agreement is for more than $25,000 and requires the excavation of any trench or trenches five feet or more in depth, Contractor shall submit, in advance of such excavation, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. The plan shall be reviewed and accepted by the City, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the City to whom authority has been delegated, prior to the excavation. If the plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. This section shall not be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders. This subsection shall not be construed to impose tort liability on the City or any of its employees. Full compensation for sheeting, shoring, bracing, sloping, and all other provisions required for worker protection shall be considered as included in the contract price shown in the appropriate Bid Item, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.

1.10 Protection and Care of Work and Materials.

The Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods, including providing and maintaining storage facilities, during the life of the Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as caused by City’s own negligence. Stored materials shall be reasonably accessible for inspection. Contractor shall not, 57 without City’s consent, assign, sell, mortgage, hypothecate, or remove equipment or materials which have been installed or delivered and which may be necessary for the completion of the work.

1.11 Warranty.

Contractor warrants all work under the Agreement (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense. Contractor shall act as soon as requested by the City in response to an emergency. In addition, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, remove and replace any portions of the work (or work of other contractors) damaged by its defective work or which becomes damaged in the course of repairing or replacing defective work. For any work so corrected, Contractor’s obligation hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work.

Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of the Agreement. All costs associated with such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense.

Contractor shall be obligated to fully reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

1.12 Additional Work and Change Orders.
(d) City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Project Manager to the Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Contractor (“Change Order”). All Change Orders must be signed by the Contractor and Project Manager prior to commencing the extra work thereunder.
58 (e) Any increase in compensation of up to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Sum or any increase in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days and which are not detrimental to the Work or to the interest of the City, may be approved by the Project Manager. Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council.
(f) Any adjustment in the Contract Sum for a Change Order must be in accordance with the rates set forth in the Contractor’s Bid. If the rates in the Contractor’s Bid do not cover the type of work in the Change Order, the cost of such work shall not exceed an amount agreed upon in writing and signed by Contractor and Project Manager. If the cost of the Change Order cannot be agreed upon, the City will pay for actual work of the Change Order completed, to the satisfaction of the City, as follows:
(i) Labor: The cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is done. The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) Materials and Equipment: The cost of materials and equipment shall be at cost to Contractor or lowest current price which such materials and equipment are reasonably available at the time the work is done, whichever is lower. (iii) If the cost of the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the Contractor must provide a daily report that includes invoices for labor, materials and equipment costs for the work under the Change Order. The daily report must include: list of names of workers, classifications, and hours worked; description and list of quantities of materials used; type of equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and transportation, if applicable; description of other City authorized services and expenditures in such detail as the City may require. Failure to submit a daily report by the close of the next working day may, at the City’s sole and absolute discretion, waive the Contractor’s rights for that day. (g) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other contractors.
(h) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.

1.13 Special Requirements.

Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements,” attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit B and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit B shall govern. 59 ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Contract Sum.

Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor the amounts set forth in Contractor’s Bid, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. Subject to any additions or deductions that may be made by change order or amendment, and any penalties or damages that may be assessed against Contractor, Contractor shall receive total compensation of _____________________ Dollars ($__________) (“Contract Sum”) for completion of the work.

2.2 Invoices.

Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed during the preceding month in a form approved by City’s Director of Finance. By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Contractor is certifying compliance with all provisions of the Agreement.

All invoices shall include a copy of Contractor’s Certified Payroll and proof that Certified Payroll has been submitted to the DIR. Contractor shall also submit a list of the prevailing wage rates (including federal prevailing wage rates, if applicable) for all employees and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement, as applicable, with Contractor’s first invoice. If these rates change at any time during the term of the Agreement, Contractor shall submit a new list of rates to the City with its first invoice following the effective date of the rate change.

2.3 Payment.

City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, City will cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City does not cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted invoice, Contractor shall be entitled to the payment of interest to the extent allowed under Public Contract Code section 20104.50. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor, not later than seven (7) days after receipt by the City, for correction and resubmission. Returned invoices shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request was rejected. Review and payment by the City of any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.

2.4 Retention.

Pursuant to Section 9203 of the Public Contract Code, City will deduct a five percent (5%) retention from all progress payments, which shall be released to Contractor no later than sixty (60) days from completion of the work in accordance with Section 7107 of the Public Contract Code. 60 In the event of a dispute between City and Contractor, City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the disputed amount.

2.5 Waiver.

Payment to Contractor for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Contractor.

2.6 Substitution of Securities.
(a) In conformance with the State of California Public Contract Code, Part 5, Section 22300, Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under this Agreement.
(b) At the request and expense of Contractor, Contractor has the option of establishing an escrow account with a state or federally chartered bank which shall serve as an escrow agent, for Contractor’s direct deposit of securities as a substitute for retention earnings required to be withheld by the City. Upon Contractor’s completion of its obligations hereunder, as evidenced by the City’s acceptance of the work pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, the escrow agent shall return the securities to Contractor. The escrow agent shall notify the City within ten (10) days after deposit of the securities. The market value of the securities at the time of the substitution shall be at least equal to the cash amount then required to be withheld as retention. Securities shall be held in the name of the City and shall designate Contractor as the beneficial owner. Alternatively, on written request of Contractor, the City shall make payments of the retention earnings directly to the escrow account.

ARTICLE 3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

3.1 Schedule of Performance.

Contractor shall complete the Project within Ninety (90) working days after receiving a “Notice to Proceed” from the City in accordance with any schedule contained in or required to be provided by the Bid Documents, and any revisions thereof approved by the City in writing. Time is of the essence. If the work is not completed within said time period, liquidated damages shall apply. The term of this Agreement shall expire one (1) year following City’s acceptance of the Project.

3.2 Liquidated Damages.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold any accrued liquidated damages from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor. To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the work when such delay was caused by the failure of the City or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities. 61 3.3 Force Majeure.

The time period(s) specified in the Schedule of Performance for performance of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the City, if the Contractor shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Project Manager in writing of the causes of the delay. The Project Manager shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the Project Manager such delay is justified. The Project Manager’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover damages against the City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, Contractor’s sole remedy being extension of the Agreement pursuant to this Section.

3.4 Final Acceptance.

Acceptance of the Project shall only be by action of the City Council. Neither the acceptance nor any prior inspections or failure to inspect shall constitute a waiver by City of any defects in the work. From and after acceptance, the Project shall be owned and operated by City.

As a condition to acceptance, Contractor shall certify to City in writing that all of the work has been performed in strict conformity with the Agreement and that all costs have been paid or supplied to City for security required herein, satisfactory to City, guaranteeing such performance.

ARTICLE 4. COORDINATION OF WORK

4.1 Representatives and Personnel of Contractor.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Principals may not be replaced nor may their responsibilities be substantially reduced by Contractor without the express written approval of City. Additionally, Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to maintain 62 the stability and continuity of Contractor’s staff and subcontractors, if any, assigned to perform the services required under this Agreement.

4.2 Status of Contractor.

4.3 Project Manager.

The Project Manager shall be Jesus Sanchez or any other person as may be designated by the City Manager.

City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed to be a partner of Contractor in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any joint enterprise with Contractor.

4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.

The experience, knowledge, capability and reputation of Contractor, its principals and employees were a substantial inducement for the City to enter into this Agreement. Therefore, Contractor shall not contract with any other entity to perform in whole or in part the services required hereunder without the express written approval of the City. All subcontractors shall obtain, at its or Contractor’s expense, such licenses, permits, registrations and approvals (including from the City) as may be required by law for the performance of any services or work under this Agreement. In addition, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written approval of City. Transfers restricted 63 hereunder shall include the transfer to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more than twenty five percent (25%) of the present ownership and/or control of Contractor, taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis. In the event of any such unapproved transfer, including any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved transfer shall release the Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

ARTICLE 5. INSURANCE, INDEMNIFICATION AND BONDS

Contractor shall maintain Environmental Impairment Liability insurance, written on a Contractor’s Pollution Liability form or other form acceptable to City providing coverage for liability arising out of sudden, accidental, and gradual pollution and remediation. The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. All activities contemplated in this Agreement shall be specifically scheduled on the policy as “covered operations.” The policy shall provide coverage for the hauling of waste from the project site to the final disposal location, including non-owned disposal sites.

Products/completed operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors, the policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer.

If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.

5.2 General Insurance Requirements.
(f) Subcontractors. Contractor shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and certified endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall include all of the requirements stated herein. (g) Proof of Insurance. Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance and endorsements to City as evidence of the insurance coverages required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this Agreement. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
(h) Duration of Coverage. Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. (i) Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Contractor shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of 65 primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non- contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(j) City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Contractor or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement. (k) Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
(l) Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non-estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(m) Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. 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 all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
(n) Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
(o) Additional Insured Status. General and auto liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(p) Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. 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. 66 (q) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (r) Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor 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. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (s) Agency’s Right to Revise Specifications. 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 Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation.
(t) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
(u) Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
(v) Additional Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

5.3 Indemnification.

Contractor shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by City, and hold harmless City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor's performance of work under this Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Contractor, or should City otherwise find Contractor’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Contractor shall reimburse the City its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsels fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless or 67 wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

5.4 Notification of Third-Party Claims.

City shall timely notify Contractor of the receipt of any third-party claim relating to the work under this Agreement. City shall be entitled to recover from Contractor its reasonable costs incurred in providing such notification.

5.5 Performance and Payment Bonds.

Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, Contractor shall deliver to the City all of the following bonds:
(w) A performance bond securing the faithful performance of this Agreement, in an amount not less than 100% of the total compensation for this Agreement, as stated in Section

2.1. (x) A payment bond, securing the payment of all persons furnishing labor and/or materials in connection with the work under this Agreement, in an amount not less than 100% of the total compensation for this Agreement, as stated in Section 2.1.

All bonds shall be on the applicable forms provided in Exhibit “C” and Exhibit “D” attached hereto and made part hereof. The bonds shall each contain the original notarized signature of an authorized officer of the surety and affixed thereto shall be a certified and current copy of his/her power of attorney. The bonds shall be unconditional and remain in force during the entire term of the Agreement until released pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof.

5.6 Sufficiency of Insurer or Surety.

Insurance and bonds required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best’s Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better. If the City determines that the work to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the bonds required in Section 5.5 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City. 68 5.7 Release of Securities.

City shall release the performance bond and payment bond when the following have occurred:
(a) Contractor has made a written request for release and provided evidence of satisfaction of all other requirements under Article 5 of this Agreement; (b) the Project has been accepted; and
(c) after passage of the time within which lien claims are required to be made pursuant to applicable laws; if lien claims have been timely filed, City shall hold the payment bond until such claims have been resolved, Contractor has provided statutory bond, or otherwise as required by applicable law.

ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION

6.1 Records.

Contractor shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies, certified and accurate copies of payroll records in compliance with all applicable laws, or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to City and services performed hereunder (the “books and records”), as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Project Manager to evaluate the performance of such services. Any and all such documents shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete and detailed. The Project Manager shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of 3 years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required.

In the event of dissolution of Contractor’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Contractor’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.

6.2 Reports.

Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Project Manager such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Project Manager shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein, Contractor shall promptly notify the Project Manager of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto. 69 6.3 Ownership of Documents.

All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”) prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Project Manager or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.

6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(y) Information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Project Manager.
(z) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Project Manager or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (aa) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct.

Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by 70 Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT; DEFAULT, SUSPENSION AND

TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Eastern District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

7.2 Default of Contractor.

Contractor’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that Contractor is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default and can terminate or suspend this Agreement immediately by written notice to Contractor. If the Project Manager determines that Contractor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Project Manager shall cause to be served upon Contractor a written notice of the default. Contractor shall have ten (10) days after service upon it of said notice in which to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance. In the event that Contractor fails to cure its default within such period of time, the City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

7.3 Suspension and Termination.
(a) The City may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend this Agreement, or any portion hereof, by serving upon Contractor at least ten (10) days prior written notice. Upon receipt of said notice, Contractor shall immediately cease all work under this Agreement, unless the notice provides otherwise. If the City suspends a portion of this Agreement such suspension shall not make void or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement. (b) This Agreement may be terminated by either party for cause. The City may terminate this Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination.

Upon termination, Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for completion of any portion of the Project accepted by City up to the effective date of termination unless any portion of the Project is accepted by City after termination in which event Contractor shall be paid for such completed portion.
71 7.4 Dispute Resolution Process.

Section 20104 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code prescribes a process utilizing informal conferences, non-binding judicial-supervised mediation, and judicial arbitration to resolve disputes on construction claims of $375,000 or less. Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims.

The intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the California Public Contract Code. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with said statutes.

For purposes of these procedures, “claim” means a separate demand by the Contractor, after the City has denied Contractor’s timely and duly made request for payment for extra work and/or a time extension, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from work done by or on behalf of the Contractor pursuant to the Agreement and payment of which is not otherwise expressly provided for or the Contractor is not otherwise entitled to, or (C) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the City.

The following requirements apply to all claims to which this section applies:
(cc) Claim Submittal. The claim shall be in writing and include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Claims governed by this procedure must be filed on or before the date of final payment. Nothing in this section is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise provided in the Agreement for the filing of claims, including all requirements pertaining to compensation or payment for extra work, disputed work, and/or changed conditions. Failure to follow such contractual requirements shall bar any claims or subsequent lawsuits for compensation or payment thereon. (dd) Supporting Documentation. The Contractor shall submit all claims in the following format:
(i) Summary of the claim, including references to the specific Contract Document provisions upon which the claim is based.
(ii) List of documents relating to claim: (a) Specifications, (b) Drawings, (c) Clarifications (Requests for Information), (d) Schedules, and (e) Other. (iii) Chronology of events and correspondence related to the claim. (iv) Statement of grounds for the claim.
(v) Analysis of the claim’s cost, if any.
(vi) Analysis of the claim’s time/schedule impact, if any. (ee) City’s Response. Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, City shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim will be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. 72 (i) If the City needs approval from the City Council to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the City Council does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the City Council after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion. (ii) Within 30 days of receipt of a claim, the City may request in writing additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims the City may have against the Contractor. If additional information is thereafter required, it shall be requested and provided pursuant to this subdivision, upon mutual agreement of City and the Contractor. (iii) The City’s written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to the Contractor within 30 days (if the claim is less than $50,000, within 15 days) after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by the Contractor in producing the additional information or requested documentation, whichever is greater.
(ff) Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the City’s written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City’s response or within 15 days of the City’s failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (gg) Mediation. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time. (i) If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. (ii) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section. 73 (iii) Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (iv) All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed. (hh) City’s Responses. The City’s failure to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this section or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility of qualifications of the Contractor. City’s failure to respond shall not waive City’s rights to any subsequent procedures for the resolution of disputed claims.
(ii) Government Code Claims. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, the Contractor must comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code Section 900 et seq. prior to filing any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, construction claims, and/or changed conditions, including any required mediation, have been followed by Contractor. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if the prerequisite contractual requirements are not satisfied, no action against the City may be filed. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date that Contractor completes all contractual prerequisites to filing a Government Code claim, including any required mediation.

A Government Code claim shall be inclusive of all unresolved claims unless a new unrelated claim arises after the Government Code claim is submitted. For purposes of Government Code Section 900 et seq., the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time the Contractor submits his or her written claim to the City until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference or mediation that does not result in a complete resolutions of all claims. (jj) Civil Actions for Claims of $375,000 or Less. The following procedures are established for all civil actions filed to resolve claims totaling $375,000 or less:
(i) Within 60 days, but no earlier than 30 days, following the filing or responsive pleadings, the court shall submit the matter to non-binding mediation unless waived by mutual stipulation of both parties or unless mediation was held prior to commencement of the action in accordance with Public Contract Code section 9204 and the procedures in this Section.

The mediation process shall provide for the selection within 15 days by both parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be commenced within 30 days of the submittal, and shall be concluded within 15 days from the commencement of the mediation unless a time requirement is extended upon a good cause showing to the court or by stipulation of both parties.

If the parties fail to select a mediator within the 15-day period, either party may petition the court to appoint the mediator.
74 (ii) If the matter remains in dispute, the case shall be submitted to judicial arbitration pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notwithstanding Section 1141.11 of that code. The Civil Discovery Act (Title 4 (commencing with Section 2016.010) of Part 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure) shall apply to any proceeding brought under this subdivision consistent with the rules pertaining to judicial arbitration.
(iii) Upon stipulation of the parties, arbitrators appointed for these purposes shall be experienced in construction law, and, upon stipulation of the parties, mediators and arbitrators shall be paid necessary and reasonable hourly rates of pay not to exceed their customary rate, and such fees and expenses shall be paid equally by the parties, except in the case of arbitration where the arbitrator, for good cause, determines a different division. (iv) In addition to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, any party who after receiving an arbitration award requests a trial de novo but does not obtain a more favorable judgment shall, in addition to payment of costs and fees under that chapter, pay the attorney's fees of the other party arising out of the trial de novo.

7.5 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.6 Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.7 Unfair Business Practices Claims.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 7103.5, in entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services or materials related to this Agreement.

Contractor further covenants that in the performance of this 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 Project Manager. Contractor agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement.

No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which he is, directly or indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation.

Surety agrees that should it fail to take over and diligently perform the agreement upon Principal's default after notice and within the time specified in the agreement, Surety will promptly on demand deposit with City such amount as City may reasonably estimate as the cost of completing all of Principal's obligations. Surety's obligation for payment herein shall exist, notwithstanding any controversy between Principal and City regarding Principal's failure under the agreement, and payment by Surety should be conclusively presumed between the parties herein to relieve, as demanded, Surety's obligations herein and shall be deemed proper payment as between Principal and Surety.

Surety agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration, or addition to the terms of the agreement, or the work to be performed thereunder, or the plans and specifications, or any matters unknown to Surety which might affect Surety's risk, shall in any way affect its obligation on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice thereof.

88 INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Contract/Agreement/License/Permit No. or description: ________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Indemnitor(s) (list all names):

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Indemnitor hereby agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Carson and Successor Agency and their respective elected officials, officers, attorneys, agents, employees, volunteers, successors, and assigns (collectively “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, expenses, judgments, penalties, liens, and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of accountants, attorneys, or other professionals and all costs associated therewith (collectively “Liabilities”), arising or claimed to arise, directly or indirectly, out of, in connection with, resulting from, or related to any act, failure to act, error, or omission of Indemnitor or any of its officers, agents, servants, employees, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers or their officers, agents, servants or employees, arising or claimed to arise, directly or indirectly, out of, in connection with, resulting from, or related to the above-referenced contract, agreement, license, or permit (the “Agreement”) or the performance or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Agreement, including this indemnity provision. This indemnity provision is effective regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by Indemnitees and shall operate to fully indemnify Indemnitees against any such negligence. This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement and is in addition to any other rights or remedies which Indemnitees may have under the law. Payment is not required as a condition precedent to an Indemnitee’s right to recover under this indemnity provision, and an entry of judgment against an Indemnitee shall be conclusive in favor of the Indemnitee’s right to recover under this indemnity provision. Indemnitor shall pay Indemnitees for any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnification provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this instrument shall be construed to encompass (a) Indemnitees’ sole negligence or willful misconduct to the limited extent that the underlying Agreement is subject to Civil Code 2782(a), or (b) the contracting public agency’s active negligence to the limited extent that the underlying Agreement is subject to Civil Code 2782(b). This indemnity is effective without reference to the existence or applicability of any insurance coverages which may have been required under the Agreement or any additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees.

Indemnitor, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting within the scope of their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf of the Indemnitor regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by the Indemnitees. Accountants, attorneys, or other professionals employed by Indemnitor to defend Indemnitees shall be selected by or subject to the approval of Indemnitees.

In the event there is more than one person or entity named in the Agreement as an Indemnitor, then all obligations, liabilities, covenants and conditions under this instrument shall be joint and several. “Indemnitor”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TP-19
capacity for the recycled asphalt aggregate, polymer modified asphalt emulsion, additives and water. The mixing machine shall be equipped with individual volume or weight controls for automatically proportioning and accurately delivering in proper sequence the material to a continuous flow pug mill for mixing. Each material control device shall be calibrated, properly marked, preset and lockable at the direction of the Engineer. Calibrated flow meters shall be provided to measure both the addition of water and asphalt emulsion to the pug mill. Concrete transit mixer trucks shall not be used.

The slurry mixture shall be uniformly spread by means of a controlled spreader box. The spreader shall be capable of spreading a traffic lane width and shall have strips of flexible rubber belting or similar material on each side of the spreader box and in contact with the pavement to prevent loss of slurry from the box. The box shall have baffles, or other suitable devices, to insure uniform application on super-elevated sections and shoulder slopes. The rear flexible strike-off blade shall make close contact with the pavement and shall be capable of being adjusted to the various crown shapes so as to apply a uniform slurry seal. The spreader box shall be maintained in such a manner as to prevent chatter (wash boarding) or other surface defects that will affect the esthetic value of the finished slurry seal mat. The mixing machine shall be equipped with a water pressure system and nozzle type spray bars to provide a water spray immediately ahead of the spreader box.

5.0 PLACING
Slurry seal shall be placed only when the atmospheric temperature is at least 50 oF (10oC) and
rising. The mixture shall not be applied if high relative humidity prolongs the curing beyond a reasonable time. Slurry seal shall not be placed on the surface of a street after 4:00 p.m. of the workday, unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. The slurry seal shall be placed at an application rate of 12 to 15 pounds per square yard.

Areas, which cannot be reached by the spreader box, shall be surfaced with hand squeegees to provide complete and uniform coverage. The area to be hand worked shall be lightly dampened prior to mix placement. The same type of finish as applied by the spreader box shall be required.

Prior to the slurry sealing operations, the Contractor shall remove all existing thermoplastic striping, legends and raised pavement markers within the slurry seal limits and apply temporary tabs where striping removal has taken place. .

Immediately prior to the slurry sealing operations, the Contractor shall sweep the entire surface with vacuum assisted power brooms or other means necessary to remove all loose particles of paving, all dirt and all other extraneous material.

Before slurry seal operations, all manholes covers, flush inlet covers, monument covers and all other utility covers to remain shall be protected by covering the surface with an appropriate paper or plastic sheeting, cut to fit or by other methods approved by the Engineer. All traces of the cover and slurry seal shall be removed by the end of the same workday. The joint between the edge of the pavement and the concrete gutter shall be sealed by the slurry seal by overlapping the concrete gutter edge and concrete gutter 1 to 2 inches.

PROJECT NO. 1756 TECHNICAL PROVISIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TP-20
The Contractor shall not use sand on the fresh slurry seal for vehicle crossings at intersections and at driveways. The edges of the limits of the slurry seal application on both sides of the street shall be maintained in a neat and uniform line. The Contractor shall refrain from using diesel fuel, gasoline or solvents of any kind for cleaning tools and equipment in such a manner as to permit spillage of the diesel fuel or solvent on new or existing pavement, curbs and gutters, parkways or other improved areas.

The applied RAP slurry seal shall be rolled with a minimum of three passes with a pneumatic roller prior to opening to traffic.

At least 2 days prior to the beginning of slurry seal operations, the Contractor shall notify all affected property owners, residents, businesses and agencies by an approved, written notice detailing streets and limits of work to be done and the hours of work. The Contractor shall, prior to the beginning of slurry seal operations, post all streets that are to be worked upon with approved “No Parking – Tow Away” signs at 100 feet intervals. These shall also state the day of the week and hours of no parking.

Hand tools shall be available in order to remove spillage. Ridges or bumps in the finished surface will not be permitted. The mixture shall be uniform and homogeneous after spreading on the existing surface and shall not show separation of the emulsion and aggregate after setting.

Adequate means shall be provided to protect the slurry seal from damage from traffic until such time that the mixture has cured sufficiently so that the slurry seal will not adhere to and be picked up by the tires of the vehicles. Basis for rejection of improperly placing slurry seal includes, but is not limited to, striation of surface, “balling” of material due to quick-set and tracks of unauthorized vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.

5.0 MEASUREMENT and PAYMENT
Slurry seal will be measured and paid for by the ton (TON). The quantity of slurry seal to be paid for will be the combined mass of the Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement and Polymer Modified Asphalt Emulsion. The mass of the water and additives used in the mixture will not be included in the mass of the slurry seal to be paid for. The contract price paid per ton for slurry seal shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment and incidentals and for doing all the work involved in the furnishing and placing of the slurry seal complete in place, including cleaning the surface and protecting the slurry seal until it has set, all as shown on the plans, as specified in these specifications and as directed by the Engineer.
