VENDOR acknowledges the importance to CITY of timely delivery of products or services and agrees to put forth its best professional efforts to perform in a manner consistent with that schedule.
10. Force Majeure. Except for defaults of subcontractors at any tier, VENDOR shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the Agreement arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of VENDOR, including without limitation failure to reasonably mitigate any adverse impacts (Force Majeure). Force Majeure events include the following:
Acts of God, fires, floods, earthquake, other natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics (other than COVID-19 or variants), abnormal weather conditions beyond the parameters otherwise set forth in this Article, nuclear accidents, strikes, lockouts, freight embargos, interruptions in service by a regulated utility, or governmental statutes or regulations enacted or imposed after the fact (together, “force majeure events”).
11. VENDOR’s Liability for Injury to Persons or Damage to Property. a. VENDOR shall be liable for damages arising out of injury to the person and/or damage to City property, City employees, persons designated by City for training, or any other person(s) other than VENDOR’s agents or employees, designated by City for any purpose prior to, during, or subsequent to delivery, installation, acceptance, and use of the Products either at VENDOR’s site or at City’s place of business, provided that the injury or damage was caused by VENDOR’s fault or negligence.
b. VENDOR shall not be liable for damages arising out of or caused by an alteration or an attachment not made or installed by VENDOR, or for damage to alterations or attachments that may result from the normal operation and maintenance of the Products in accordance with the Agreement.
12. Indemnity. To the fullest extent allowed by law, VENDOR hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and save harmless CITY and Estero Municipal Improvement District, its Council, boards, commissions, officers, employees, directors, volunteers and agents, from and against any and all 4 Updated 1/10/2022
claims, suits, actions liability, loss, damage, expense, injury (including, without limitation, economic harm, injury to or death of any person, including an employee of VENDOR or its Subcontractors), cost (including, without limitation, costs and fees of litigation) of every nature, kind or description, at law or equity, which may be brought against, or suffered or sustained by, CITY or Estero Municipal Improvement District, its Council, boards, commissions, officers, employees, directors, volunteers or agents that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to any negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of VENDOR, any Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed or retained by them, or anyone that they control. In the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, the VENDOR shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.
The duty of VENDOR to indemnify and save harmless, as set forth herein, shall include the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require VENDOR to indemnify CITY and Estero Municipal Improvement District, its Council, boards, commissions, officers, employees and agents against any responsibility or liability in contravention of Section 2782 of the California Civil Code.
VENDOR’s responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.
The defense and indemnification obligations of this agreement are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained within this Agreement.
13. Patent, Copyright and Trade Secret Indemnity.
a. VENDOR shall hold City, its officers, agents and employees, harmless from liability of any nature or kind, including costs and expenses, for infringement or use of any copyrighted or uncopyrighted composition, secret process, patented or
unpatented invention, article or appliance furnished or used in connection with the Agreement.
b. VENDOR may be required to furnish a bond to City against any and all loss, damage, costs, expenses, claims and liability for patent, copyright and trade secret infringement.
c. VENDOR, at its own expense, shall defend any action brought against City to the extent that such action is based upon a claim that the Products supplied by VENDOR or the operation of such Products pursuant to a current version of VENDOR supplied operating software infringes a patent or copyright or violates a 5 Updated 1/10/2022
trade secret. VENDOR shall pay those costs and damages finally awarded against City in any such action. Such defense and payment shall be conditioned on the following:
i. That VENDOR shall be notified within a reasonable time in writing by City of any notice of such claim; and
ii. That VENDOR shall have the sole control of the defense of any action on such claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, provided, however, that when principles of
government or public law are involved, City shall have the option to participate in such action at its own expense.
d. Should the Products, or the operation thereof, become, or in VENDOR’s opinion are likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a patent or copyright or a trade secret, City shall permit VENDOR at its option and expense either to procure for City the right to continue using the Products, or to replace or modify the same so that they become non infringing. If none of these options can reasonably be taken, or if the use of such Products by City shall be prevented by injunction, VENDOR agrees to take back such Products and make every reasonable effort to assist City in procuring substitute Products. If, in the sole opinion of City, the return of such infringing Products makes the retention of other Products acquired from VENDOR under the Agreement
impractical, City shall then have the option of terminating the Agreement, or applicable portions thereof, without penalty or termination charge. VENDOR agrees to take back such Products and refund any sums City has paid VENDOR less any reasonable amount for use or damage.
e. VENDOR shall have no liability to City under any provision of this clause with respect to any claim of patent, copyright or trade secret infringement which is based upon.
i. The combination or utilization of Products furnished hereunder with equipment or devices not made or furnished by VENDOR; or
ii. The operation of equipment furnished by VENDOR under the control of any operating software other than, or in addition to, the current version of VENDOR supplied
operating software; or
iii. The modification by City of the equipment of software furnished hereunder; or
iv. The combination or utilization of software furnished hereunder with non-VENDOR supplied software.
f. VENDOR certifies that it has appropriate systems and controls in place to ensure that City funds will not be used in the performance of the Agreement for the acquisition, operation or maintenance of computer software in violation of copyright laws.

employment, advancement, demotion, transfer, recruitment, or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The VENDOR shall at all times be in compliance with the requirements of the Federal Americans With Disabilities Act (Public Law 101-336) which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities.

3.4 For any claims related to the Agreement, the Vendor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City , its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City , its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Vendor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
3.5 Insurance coverages in the minimum amounts set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve Vendor for any liability, whether within, outside, or in excess of such coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor shall it preclude the City from taking such other actions as are available to it under any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise in law.
3.6 Failure by Vendor to maintain all such insurance in effect at all times required by this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Vendor. City , at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement and obtain damages from Vendor resulting from said breach.
Alternatively, City may purchase such required insurance coverage, and without further notice to Vendor, City shall deduct from sums due to Vendor any premiums and associated costs advanced or paid by City for such insurance. If the balance of monies obligated to Vendor pursuant to this Agreement are insufficient to reimburse City for the premiums and any associated costs, Vendor agrees to reimburse City for the premiums and pay for all costs associated with the purchase of said insurance. Any failure by City to take this alternative action shall not relieve Vendor of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverages required by this Agreement.
3.7 Should any of the required insurance (other than errors and omissions insurance) be provided under a form of coverage that includes a general annual aggregate limit or provides that claims investigation or legal defenses costs be included in such general aggregate limit, such general annual aggregate limit shall be double the occurrence or claims limit specified above.
3.8 City may (but is under no obligation to) secure project-specific insurance, wrap-up insurance, or administer an owner controlled insurance program ("OCIP"), in which case Vendor and its subcontractors shall communicate this fact to their insurance carriers and request that the risk of this project be excluded from their practice policies. Vendor's fees under this Agreement (and the fee of its subcontractors under subcontractor agreements) shall be reduced by the amount of insurance premiums that may be avoided by Vendor and its subcontractors by virtue of the City's obtaining the project-specific insurance, wrap-up insurance or administering an OCIP, and the exclusion of this project from coverage of Vendor's and subcontractors policies.
Construction Manager and its subcontractors shall afford City access to their books and records and cooperate with City in verifying the amount of savings realized.

EXHIBIT E
COVID-19 AMENDMENT/ATTACHMENT
(Vendor Agreement Form)
This COVID-19 Amendment/Attachment amends the Agreement between ____________________ (“City”) and ____________________________ (“Vendor”) dated ___________________________.
1. Definitions
A. The 2019 novel coronavirus and the disease it causes are collectively referred to herein as “COVID-19”.
B. A “COVID-19 Condition” is something attributable to COVID-19 not caused by the Vendor (which for purposes herein includes all subcontractors) and beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to COVID-19 Proclamations and supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19, and other circumstances concerning COVID-19 not caused by the Vendor and which are beyond its reasonable control.
C. A “COVID-19 Proclamation” includes but is not limited to orders, directives and guidance concerning COVID-19 that have been issued, and which may be issued from time to time, by public agencies or regulatory bodies, the CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, including without limitation the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards. Vendor acknowledges that those orders, directives and guidance may require the Project to shut down or otherwise increase the Vendor’s cost or time of performance by calling for things such as social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment. In the event of conflicting COVID-19 Proclamations, the Vendor shall follow the most applicable, restrictive and newest COVID-19 Proclamations.
D. An “Unknown COVID-19 Condition” is a COVID-19 Condition the Vendor did not know about, and reasonably should not have known about, as of the date the Vendor submitted its proposal. The requirements contained in COVID-19 Proclamations issued before submission of a proposal are not Unknown COVID-19 Conditions, and the Vendor will be deemed to have knowledge of those requirements.
E. An “Unknown COVID-19 Cost” is a cost that: (i) is solely attributable to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition; (ii) is reasonable and unavoidable under the circumstances; (iii) is not the result of the Vendor’s failure to comply with the contract documents or a COVID-19 Proclamation; and (iv) is not the result of a subcontractors failure to comply with a COVID-19 Proclamation in connection with the performance of the Services.
2. COVID-19 Conditions and Proposal. Vendor is expected to know and is deemed to have known about COVID-19 Conditions when it submits its proposal, and COVID-19 6 Updated 1/18/2022
Conditions must be accounted for in the Vendor’s price and schedule. In order to be entitled to any relief from a COVID-19 Condition, the Vendor must demonstrate that the issue, cost or delay is due to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition.
3. Compliance with COVID-19 Proclamations.
A. Vendor shall comply with COVID-19 Proclamations in the performance of the Services, irrespective of when the COVID-19 Proclamations are issued, and as they pertains to performance of the Services. The cost of such compliance is non- compensable, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.
B. Vendor is responsible to ensure that its subcontractors and suppliers comply with COVID-19 Proclamations at all times in connection with the performance of their Services.
4. Delay. The Vendor is entitled to a reasonable time extension for an Unknown COVID-19 Condition. Such time extension is non-compensable.
5. City Directed Suspension. The City may suspend Services due to COVID-19 health concerns, even though the Vendor may be allowed to proceed with the Services based on COVID-19 Proclamations. The City may suspend the Services for its convenience. The Vendor is entitled to a time extension for a City Directed Suspension, and the contract amount will be equitably adjusted if and to the extent Vendor incurs increased costs that are Unknown COVID-19 Costs.
6. Compensation for COVID-19 Costs. City will reimburse the Vendor for Unknown COVID-19 Costs which are not included in the schedule of values.
7. Safe Work Practices. Vendor shall implement safe work practices recommended by CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, which may include, inter alia, screening all employees, subcontractors, or others (“worker(s)”) at all locations where Services are performed for signs and symptoms of COVID-19; adopting staggered work schedules, e.g., providing alternating workdays or extra shifts, to reduce the total number of employees on a site at any given time and to ensure physical distancing; identifying choke points where workers are forced to stand together, such as hallways and elevators, ingress and egress points, break areas, and buses, and implement policies to maintain social distancing; coordinating deliveries in line with the employer's minimal contact and cleaning protocols; and instituting a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels at all exterior locations. Vendor remains fully responsible for following and complying with changes to recommended safe work practices from time to time.
8. Monitoring and Reporting. City may require the Vendor to actively monitor the health of its workers through temperature checks and questionnaires of major COVID- 19 symptoms, including but not limited to cough, fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and shortness of breath. Vendor shall immediately report to City any outbreaks of COVID-19 among its workers. The Vendor shall not knowingly allow any worker who 7 Updated 1/18/2022
has tested positive with COVID-19 to enter a City building. In the event of an outbreak or an exposure to COVID-19, the City may impose appropriate mitigation strategies which may be in consultation with the public health officer.
9. Conflicts. In the event of an inconsistency between this COVID-19 Amendment and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City and Vendor have executed this Covid-19 Amendment as of the date set forth above.
