11.1. When LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT signs and delivers this Lower Tier Subaward to SUBRECIPIENT, and during this Lower Tier Subaward’s Term, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT shall furnish SUBRECIPIENT with insurance forms that fully meet the requirements of— and contain provisions entirely consistent with— all of the “Insurance Requirements,” which are attached as “Exhibit I” (I-1 through I-8) to this Lower Tier Subaward and are incorporated into it by this reference.
11.2. This Lower Tier Subaward’s insurance provisions:
(A) Are separate and independent from the indemnification and defense provisions in Article 12.0 of the Lower Tier Subaward; and (B) Do not limit, in any way, the applicability, scope, or obligations of the indemnification and defense provisions in Article 12.0 of the Lower Tier Subaward.
12.0 INDEMNITY
12.1. To the maximum extent permitted by law— including, but not limited to, California Civil Code Section 2778— LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT , its employees, agents, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENTS, and persons whom LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT employs or hires (individually and collectively, “LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR”) shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SUBRECIPIENT, its officers, agents, employees, and representatives (individually and collectively, “SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE”) from and against a “liability” [as defined in Subparagraph (A) below], or an “expense” [as defined in Subparagraph (B) below], or both, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to an act, error, or omission of a LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR:
(A) “Liability” means claims, suits, actions, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, decrees, awards, settlements, liens, losses, damages, injuries, or liability of any kind, whether the liability is:
(1) Actual or alleged;
(2) In contract or in tort; or
(3) For bodily injury (including accidental death), personal injury, advertising injury, or property damage.
(B) “Expense” means fees, costs, sums, penalties, fines, charges, or expenses of any kind, including:

(2) Costs of an investigation, litigation, arbitration, mediation, administrative or regulatory proceeding, or appeal;
(3) Fees of an accountant, expert witness, consultant, or other professional; and
(4) Pre or post: judgment interest or settlement interest.
12.2. Under this Article, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR’s defense and indemnification obligations:
(A) Apply to a liability, or an expense, or both, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the actual or alleged passive negligence of a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE; but
(B) Do not apply to a liability, or an expense, or both, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE.
12.3. To the extent that LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR’s insurance policy provides an upfront defense to a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR’s obligation to defend a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE under this Article:
(A) Means that LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR shall provide and pay for legal counsel, acceptable to SUBRECIPIENT, for the SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE;
(B) Occurs when a claim, suit, complaint, pleading, or action against a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE arises out of, pertains to, relates to, or asserts an act, error, or omission of LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR; and (C) Arises regardless of whether a claim, suit, complaint, pleading, or action specifically names or identifies LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR.
12.4. Paragraph 12.3 does not limit or extinguish LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR’s obligation to reimburse a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE for the costs of defending the SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE against a liability, or an expense, or both. The defense costs charged to LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR will not exceed LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR’s proportionate percentage of fault. A SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE’s right to recover defense costs and attorney’s fees under this Article does not require, and is not contingent upon, the SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE’s first:
(A) Requesting that LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR
provide a defense to the SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE; or
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8FB56A48-20D0-4175-B0D0-4E5093D54FDE
(B) Obtaining LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR’s consent to the SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE’s tender of defense.
12.5. If LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT subcontracts all or any portion of the Services under this Lower Tier Subaward, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT shall provide SUBRECIPIENT with a written agreement from each Subcontractor, who must indemnify, defend, and hold harmless a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE under the terms in this Article.
12.6. LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR’s obligation to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless a SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITEE will remain in effect and will be binding upon LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT INDEMNITOR whether the liability, or the expense, or both, accrues— or is discovered— before or after this Lower Tier Subaward’s expiration, cancellation, or termination.
12.7. Except for Paragraph 12.3, this Article’s indemnification and defense provisions:
(A) Are separate and independent from the insurance provisions in Article 11. In addition, the indemnification and defense provisions in this Article; (B) Are neither limited to nor capped at the coverage amounts that SUBRECIPIENT now, or at a later date, specifies under the insurance provisions in Article 11.0; and
(C) Do not limit, in any way, the applicability, scope, or obligations of the insurance provisions in Article 11.0.

14.0 GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1. Entire Agreement. This Lower Tier Subaward represents the entire and integrated agreement between the PARTIES. This Lower Tier Subaward supersedes all prior and contemporaneous communications, negotiations, understandings, promises and agreements, either oral or written. Neither LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT nor SUBRECIPIENT has made any promises or representations, other than those contained in this Lower Tier Subaward or those implied by law. The PARTIES may modify this Lower Tier Subaward, or any part of it, by a written amendment with SUBRECIPIENT’s and LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT’s signature.
14.2. Interpretation.
(A) This Lower Tier Subaward is the product of negotiation and compromise by both PARTIES. Every provision in this Lower Tier Subaward must be interpreted as though the PARTIES equally participated in its drafting. Therefore, despite the provisions in California Civil Code Section 1654, if this Lower Tier Subaward’s language is uncertain, the Lower Tier Subaward must not be construed against the PARTY causing the uncertainty to exist.
(B) In interpreting this Lower Tier Subaward and resolving any ambiguities, this Lower Tier Subaward will take precedence over any cover page or attachments. If a conflict occurs between a provision in this Lower Tier Subaward and a provision in an attachment, the following order of precedence applies, with the terms and conditions in the document higher on the list governing over those lower on the list:
(1) Lower Tier Subaward.
(2) Exhibit A– (City of Glendale (SUBAWARD) with County of Los Angeles Aging and Disabilities Department).
(3) Exhibit J – (City of Glendale (Statement of Work) with County of Los Angeles Aging and Disabilities Department).
(4) Exhibit K – (Los Angeles County’s Subaward Requirements for COVID-19 Vaccinations of County Contractor Personnel).

DocuSign Envelope ID: 8FB56A48-20D0-4175-B0D0-4E5093D54FDE
(7) Exhibit B – (SUBRECIPIENT’s Request for Proposals). (8) Exhibit H – (Meal Rates).
(9) Exhibit F – (Food Service Specifications).
(10) Exhibit G– (Menu Writing Specifications).
(11) Exhibit C – (LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT’s Proposal).
(12) Exhibit D – (City Council Motion).
(13) Exhibit E – (Notice of Intent to Award Contract).
(C) Unless the contexts requires otherwise, the term “including” means “including but not limited to.”
14.3. Headings. All headings or captions in this Lower Tier Subaward are for convenience and reference only. They are not intended to define or limit the scope of any term, condition, or provision.
14.4. Governing Law; Conflict of Law; Jurisdiction.
(A) California’s laws govern this Lower Tier Subaward’s construction and interpretation regardless of the laws that might otherwise apply under applicable principles of conflicts of law or choice of law.
(B) If LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT or SUBRECIPIENT brings a lawsuit to enforce or interpret one or more provisions of the Lower Tier Subaward, jurisdiction is in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, California, or where otherwise appropriate, in the United States District Court, Central District of California.
LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT and SUBRECIPIENT acknowledge that the Lower Tier Subaward was made (negotiated, entered into, and executed)— and the Services were performed— in the City of Glendale, which is in Los Angeles County. (C) Unless this Lower Tier Subaward provides otherwise, any reference to laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations include their later amendments, modifications, and successor legislation.
14.5. Waiver of Breach. If a PARTY fails to require the other to perform any term in this Lower Tier Subaward, that failure does not prevent the PARTY from later enforcing that term, or any other term. If a PARTY waives the other’s breach of a term, that waiver is not treated as waiving a later breach of the term. A waiver of a term is valid only if it is in writing and signed by the PARTY waiving it. This Lower Tier Subaward’s duties and obligations:
(A) Are cumulative (rather than alternative) and are in addition to (rather than a limitation on) any option, right, power, remedy, or privilege; and (B) Are not exhausted by a PARTY’s exercise of any one of them.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8FB56A48-20D0-4175-B0D0-4E5093D54FDE
14.6. Attorney’s Fees. If SUBRECIPIENT or LOWER TIER
SUBRECIPIENT brings an action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret one or more provisions of this Lower Tier Subaward, the “prevailing party” is entitled to “reasonable attorney’s fees” in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.
A “prevailing party” has the same meaning as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032(a)(4). “Reasonable attorney’s fees” of the City Attorney’s office means the fees regularly charged by private attorneys who:
(A) Practice in a law firm located in Los Angeles County; and (B) Have an equivalent number of years of professional experience in the subject matter area of the law for which the City Attorney’s services were rendered.
14.7. Further Assurances. Upon SUBRECIPIENT’s request at any time, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT shall promptly:
(A) Take further necessary action; and
(B) Sign, acknowledge, and deliver all additional documents as may be reasonable, necessary, or appropriate to carry out this Lower Tier Subaward’s intent, purpose, and terms.
14.8. Assignment, Delegation, and Change of Ownership.
(A) This Lower Tier Subaward does not give any rights or benefits to anyone, other than to SUBRECIPIENT and LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT. All duties, obligations, and responsibilities under this Lower Tier Subaward are for the sole and exclusive benefit of SUBRECIPIENT and LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT, and are not for the benefit of another person, entity, or organization. Without SUBRECIPIENT’s prior written authorization, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT shall not do any one or more of the following:
(1) Assign or transfer a right or interest— whether in whole, in part, temporarily, or otherwise— in this Lower Tier
Subaward; or
(2) Delegate a duty or obligation owed— whether in whole, in part, temporarily, or otherwise— under this Lower Tier
Subaward.
(B) A change in the legal form of ownership of LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT’s business, or in the control of LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT’s business, or in both, is deemed to be an assignment under this Lower Tier Subaward.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 8FB56A48-20D0-4175-B0D0-4E5093D54FDE
(C) Any actual or attempted assignment of rights or delegation of duties by LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT, without SUBRECIPIENT’s prior written authorization, is wholly void and totally ineffective for all purposes; and does not postpone, delay, alter, extinguish, or terminate LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT’s duties, obligations, or responsibilities under this Lower Tier Subaward. (D) If SUBRECIPIENT consents to an assignment of rights, or a delegation of duties, or both, LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT’s assignee or legal representative shall agree in writing to personally assume, perform, and to be bound unconditionally by the covenants, obligations, terms, and conditions in this Lower Tier Subaward.
14.9. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions in Paragraph
14.8, this Lower Tier Subaward is binding on the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the respective PARTIES.
14.10. Time is of the Essence.
(A) Except when this Lower Tier Subaward states otherwise, time is of the essence in this Lower Tier Subaward. LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT acknowledges that this Lower Tier Subaward’s time limits and deadlines are reasonable for LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT’s performing the Services under this Lower Tier Subaward. (B) Unless this Lower Tier Subaward specifies otherwise, any reference to “day” or “days” means calendar and not business days. If the last day for giving notice or performing an act under this Lower Tier Subaward falls on a weekend, a legal holiday listed in either Glendale Municipal Code Section 3.08.010 or California’s Government Code, or a day when City Hall is closed, the period is extended to and including the next day that SUBRECIPIENT is open for business. A reference to the time of day refers to local time for Glendale, California.
14.11. Recycled Paper. LOWER TIER SUBRECIPIENT shall endeavor to submit all reports, correspondence, and documents related to this Lower Tier Subaward on recycled paper.
14.12. Notices.
(A) Method. The PARTIES shall submit in writing all notices and communications that this Agreement requires or permits, place the notice or communication in a sealed envelope or package for delivery methods (1) through (4) below, and use the following delivery method:

provided in October by November 10th for

right to modify in writing the due date(s) for the
submission of invoices as needed in order to meet
regulatory deadlines.
5.5.4.2 Subrecipient shall submit an invoice for each month of Service as directed above and invoices shall be
submitted in chronological order (e.g., July, August,

to adhere to these requirements.

prepare an invoice as directed by County so
that the invoice reflects zero dollars ($0)
expenditures. Subrecipient shall submit the invoice
according to the procedures outlined herein and as
further directed by County.

payment(s). Any invoice which does not adhere to
County's requirements may be rejected at County's
sole discretion. Subrecipient's continued
non-compliance with County's invoicing policies and
procedures may lend Subrecipient to remedies
which County may impose at County's sole

to confirm that all of Subrecipient's costs reported

communicate any discrepancies with Subrecipient
to acquire additional information, if needed. This
will ensure that any questioned cost(s) is addressed
before the cost(s) becomes disallowed. In the

cost(s), Subrecipient will have to repay County for

5.12.5 Forms of Match Contributions
5.12.5.1 Match Cash Contribution
5.12.5.1.1 A match cash contribution is a
monetary donation which is provided
by Subrecipient (such as general
funds), non-Federal third-parties (such
as partner organizations) and/or
non-Federal grants and is given to
Subrecipient to accomplish the goals
of the Program Services.
5.12.5.2 Match In-Kind Contribution
5.12.5.2.1 A match in-kind contribution is a
non-monetary donation of goods,
properties or services which are
provided by either Subrecipient or
non-Federal entities without charge to
the Program Services for which they
are donated; it is the value of non-cash
contributions donated to support
Program Services. In-kind
contributions typically take the form of
the value of personnel, goods and/or
services which may include donations
of volunteer services, space,
equipment, etc. and this value is
determined by using the fair market
value method. Using sales of
comparable property or the cost of
comparable services is a method
which can be used to determine the
fair market value of an in-kind match
contribution.
5.12.5.3 Determination of In-Kind Volunteer Services
5.12.5.3.1 Volunteer services may be used to
meet the match contribution
requirement and shall be reported as
match in-kind. However, when using
volunteer services to meet the match
contribution requirement, this in-kind
match shall not exceed more than fifty
percent (50%) of the required match

contribution.
5.12.5.3.2 The monthly salary equivalent for
volunteer services should be
commensurate with the work/services
being provided by volunteer. As such,
the salary equivalent for volunteer
services shall be determined by using
the regular salaries paid for similar
work in other activities of
Subrecipient's organization. In cases
where the kinds of skills involved are
not found in other activities of the
organization then the salary equivalent
shall be determined by using the
salaries paid for similar work in the

to revise its Budget(s) or Services
during the Fiscal Year or Program
Year without adversely affecting
Subrecipient's ability to fulfill its
obligations under this Subaward (i.e.,
such Modification shall not materially
change Subrecipient's obligation to
provide the Services outlined in Exhibit

Subaward Sums to fulfill the
requirements of this Subaward and

9.9.1.2 Any Modification, as described below, shall not change the terms, goals or requirements of this
Subaward. Such Modification provides
Subrecipient some flexibility to operate within the
terms of this Subaward in order to fully utilize
Subaward Sums and to achieve Subrecipient's
performance goals. Subrecipient's request for
Modifications, either budgetary or programmatic,
must be submitted in writing to either County's
Contract Manager or County's Program Manager,
respectively. Subrecipient shall not request a

requested by Subrecipient and granted by County).
9.9.2 Budget Modifications
9.9.2.1 The movement of funds within an approved
Budget(s) from one line item to another line item is
classified as a Budget Modification. For the entirety
of any Fiscal Year or Program Year, a Budget
Modification shall not exceed twenty
percent (20%) of the baseline amount allocated to
the line items being modified (i.e.,
Subrecipient's movement of funds among line items
shall not cause one line item to be reduced or
increased by more than twenty percent (20%) of its
baseline amount). For purposes of this
Subparagraph 9.9, baseline is defined as the
original amount allocated at the beginning of a
Fiscal Year or Program Year; for Fiscal Years or
Program Years following the first Fiscal Year or
Program Year, such amount may differ from what is
reflected in the original Subaward. A Budget
Modification shall not change the Subaward Sum
allocated for any Fiscal Year or Program Year
under this Subaward. Subrecipient shall notify
County's Contract Manager in writing to request
authorization prior to submitting a Budget
Modification. On the date County approves a
Budget Modification, such Budget Modification
shall supersede any prior Budget Modification(s)
approved by County within the same Fiscal Year or
Program Year (i.e., when Subrecipient's Budget
Modification number two (2) is approved by County,
it becomes effective upon the approval date and

is no longer effective as of that same date).
9.9.3 Program Modifications

Program Modification shall supersede any prior
Program Modification(s) approved by County within
the same Fiscal Year or Program Year (i.e., when
Subrecipient's Program Modification number two (2)
is approved by County, it becomes effective upon
the approval date and Subrecipient's
Program Modification number one (1) is no longer
effective as of that same date).
