36 V. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
CIP NO. 630

COMMUNITY CENTER GAS LINE REPAIRS
A. CONTRACT AGREEMENT
This Construction Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date executed by the Mayor and attested to by the City Clerk, by and between [INSERT CONTRACTOR NAME] (hereinafter referred to as "CONTRACTOR") and the City of Hermosa Beach, California, a municipal corporation (hereinafter referred to as "CITY").

[INSERT NUMBER] [INSERT PROJECT NAME]in the City of Hermosa Beach.

All of

37 the provisions of said Contract documents are made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein.

This Contract is intended to require a complete and finished piece of work and anything necessary to complete the work properly and in accordance with the law and lawful governmental regulations shall be performed by CONTRACTOR whether set out specifically in the Contract or not. Should it be ascertained that any inconsistency exists between the aforesaid documents and this written agreement, the provisions of this Agreement, the Builders General Provisions and the Standard Specifications, in that order, shall control. Collectively, these Contract documents constitute the complete agreement between CITY and CONTRACTOR and supersede any previous agreements or understandings.

3. COMPENSATION: CONTRACTOR agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in its Bid Proposal [INSERT VALUE] as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations hereunder. Said compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of the work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the aforesaid Contract documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.

4. TIME OF PERFORMANCE: CONTRACTOR agrees to complete the work within [INSERT VALUE] working days from the date of the notice to proceed. By signing this Agreement, CONTRACTOR represents to CITY that the Contract time is reasonable for completion of the work and that CONTRACTOR will complete such work within the Contract time.

5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: In accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, it is agreed that CONTRACTOR will pay to CITY the sum set forth in the Special Provisions for each and every calendar day of delay beyond the time prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing the Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this is not paid, CONTRACTOR agrees CITY may deduct that amount from any money due or that may become due CONTRACTOR under the Contract. This Article does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents.

6. SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES: Pursuant to section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, CONTRACTOR may request CITY to make retention payments directly to an escrow agent or may substitute securities for any money withheld by CITY to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request and expense of CONTRACTOR, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with CITY or with a state or federally chartered bank as the escrow agent who shall return such securities to CONTRACTOR upon satisfactory completion of the Contract. Deposit of securities with an escrow agent shall be subject to a written agreement substantially in the form provided in section 22300 of the Public Contract Code.

7. PREVAILING WAGES AND CALIFORNIA LABOR LAWS.

38 Pursuant to Labor Code §§ 1720 et seq., and as specified in 8 California Code of Regulations § 16000 (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), CONTRACTOR must pay its workers prevailing wages. It is CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to interpret and implement any prevailing wage requirements, and CONTRACTOR agrees to pay any penalty or civil damages resulting from a violation of the prevailing wage laws. CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold the CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor shall forfeit a penalty of up to $200 per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates.

In accordance with Labor Code § 1773.2, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem wages are available upon request from CITY’s Engineering Division or the website for State of California Prevailing wage determination at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD. CONTRACTOR must post a copy of the prevailing rate of per diem wages at the job site.

CITY directs CONTRACTOR’s attention to Labor Code §§ 1777.5, 1777.6 and 3098 concerning the employment of apprentices by CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor.

Labor Code § 1777.5 requires CONTRACTOR or subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeship occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site of the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate must also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen that will be used in the performance of the Contract. The ratio of apprentices to journeymen in such cases will not be less than one to five except:

When CONTRACTOR provides evidence that CONTRACTOR employs registered apprentices on all of his Contracts on an annual average of not less than one apprentice to five journeymen.

When unemployment in the area of coverage by the joint apprenticeship committee has exceeded an average of 15 percent in the 90 days before the request for certificate, or When the number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of one to five, or When the trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through apprenticeship training on an annual basis state-wide or locally, or
Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works Contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.

CONTRACTOR is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if CONTRACTOR employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade on such Contracts and if other Contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

39 CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor must comply with Labor Code §§ 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices.

Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex-officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.

The CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.

CONTRACTOR and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of CONTRACTOR in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, CONTRACTOR shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such CONTRACTOR must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, CONTRACTOR shall, as a penalty to CITY, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A Contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Public Works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works Contracts for a period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this section is on CONTRACTOR.

The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.

Any ineligible Contractor or subcontractor pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1777.1 and 1777.7 may not perform work on this Project.

By executing this Contract, CONTRACTOR verifies that it fully complies with all requirements and restrictions of state and federal law respecting the employment of undocumented aliens, including, but not limited to, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, as may be amended from time to time, and shall require all subcontractors and sub-subcontractors to comply with the same.

8. LEGAL HOURS OF WORK: Eight (8) hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work for all workmen employed in the execution of this Contract, and CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor under it shall comply with and be governed by the laws of the State of California having to do with

40 working hours set forth in Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code of the State of California as amended.

CONTRACTOR shall forfeit, as a penalty to City, twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each laborer, workman or mechanic employed in the execution of the Contract, by him or any subcontractor under it, upon any of the work hereinbefore mentioned, for each calendar day during which the laborer, worker or mechanic is required or permitted to labor more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day or 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the Labor Code.

9. PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION: Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all Contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a Contract to perform public work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). No bid will be accepted nor any Contract entered into without proof of the Contractor’s and subcontractors’ current registration with the DIR to perform public work.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1.

10. LABOR COMPLIANCE AND STOP ORDERS: This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be CONTRACTOR’s sole responsibility to evaluate and pay the cost of complying with all labor compliance requirements under this Contract and applicable law. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor that affect CONTRACTOR’s performance of Work, including any delay, shall be CONTRACTOR’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered CONTRACTOR caused delay subject to any applicable liquidated damages and shall not be compensable by the CITY. CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor.

11. DEBARMENT OF CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS: Contractors or subcontractors may not perform work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.1 or 1777.7.

Any Contract on a public works project entered into between a Contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works Contract. Any public money that is paid, or may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by a Contractor on the Project shall be returned to the CITY. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the project.

12.

14. CONTRACTOR'S LIABILITY: The City of Hermosa Beach and its officers, agents and employees ("Indemnitees") shall not be answerable or accountable in any manner for any loss or damage that may happen to the work or any part thereof, or for any of the materials or other things used or employed in performing the work; or for injury or damage to any person or persons, either workers or employees of CONTRACTOR, of its subcontractors or the public, or for damage to adjoining or other property from any cause whatsoever arising out of or in connection with the performance of the work. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for any damage or injury to any person or property resulting from defects or obstructions or from any cause whatsoever.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR will indemnify Indemnities against and will hold and save Indemnitees harmless from any and all actions, claims, damages to persons or property, penalties, obligations or liabilities that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm, entity, corporation, political subdivision, or other organization arising out of or in connection with the work, operation, or activities of CONTRACTOR, its agents, employees, subcontractors or invitees provided for herein, whether or not there is concurrent passive negligence on the part of City. In connection therewith:
a. CONTRACTOR will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any such claims, damages, penalties, obligations or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, expert fees and costs incurred in connection therewith. b. CONTRACTOR will promptly pay any judgment rendered against CONTRACTOR or Indemnitees covering such claims, damages, penalties, obligations and liabilities arising out of or in connection with such work, operations or activities of CONTRACTOR hereunder, and CONTRACTOR agrees to save and hold the Indemnitees harmless therefrom.
c. In the event Indemnitees are made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against CONTRACTOR for damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the work, operation or activities hereunder, CONTRACTOR agrees to pay to Indemnitees and any all costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitees in such action or proceeding together with reasonable attorneys' fees.

42 Contractor's 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, to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782, 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 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.

So much of the money due to CONTRACTOR under and by virtue of the Contract as shall be considered necessary by City may be retained by City until disposition has been made of such actions or claims for damages as aforesaid.

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. 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.

This indemnity is effective without reference to the existence or applicability of any insurance coverage which may have been required under this Agreement or any additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees.

CONTRACTOR, 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 CONTRACTOR regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent passive negligence by the Indemnitees.

15. THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. In accordance with Public Contract Code § 9201, CITY will promptly inform CONTRACTOR regarding third-party claims against CONTRACTOR, but in no event later than (14) calendar days after CITY receives such claims. Such notification will be in writing and forwarded in accordance with the “Notice” section of this Agreement. As more specifically detailed in the Contract documents, CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify and defend the City against any third-party claim.

16. WORKERS COMPENSATION: In accordance with California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700, CONTRACTOR and each of its subcontractors will be required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1861, CONTRACTOR, by signing this Contract, 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 worker's 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.

43 17.

27. DISPUTES. Effective January 1, 1991, 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.

Effective January 1, 2017, 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.

Claims. For purposes of this Section, “Claim” means a separate demand by CONTRACTOR, after a change order duly requested in accordance with the terms of this Contract has been denied by the CITY, for (A) a time extension, (B) payment of money or damages arising from Work done by or on behalf of CONTRACTOR pursuant to the Contract, or (C) an amount the payment of which is disputed by the CITY. A “Claim” does not include any demand for payment for which CONTRACTOR has failed to provide notice, request a change order, or otherwise failed to follow any procedures contained in the Contract Documents. Claims governed by this Section may not be filed unless and until CONTRACTOR completes all procedures for giving notice of delay or change and for the requesting of a time extension or change order, including but not necessarily limited to the change order procedures contained herein, and CONTRACTOR’s request for a change has been denied in whole or in part. Claims governed by this Section must be filed no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after a request for change has been denied in whole or in part or after any other event giving rise to the Claim. The Claim shall be submitted in writing to the CITY and shall include on its first page the following in 16 point capital font: “THIS IS A CLAIM.” Furthermore, the claim shall include the documents necessary to substantiate the claim. Nothing in this Section is intended to extend the time limit or supersede notice requirements otherwise

48 provided by Contract 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.

Supporting Documentation. The CONTRACTOR shall submit all claims in the following format:

Summary of claim merit and price, reference Contract Document provisions pursuant to which the claim is made
List of documents relating to claim:

Specifications
Drawings
Clarifications (Requests for Information)
Schedules
Other
Chronology of events and correspondence
Analysis of claim merit
Analysis of claim cost
Time impact analysis in CPM format
If CONTRACTOR’s claim is based in whole or in part on an allegation of errors or omissions in the Drawings or Specifications for the Project, CONTRACTOR shall provide a summary of the percentage of the claim subject to design errors or omissions and shall obtain a certificate of merit in support of the claim of design errors and omissions.

Cover letter and certification of validity of the claim, including any claims from subcontractors of any tier, in accordance with Government Code section 12650 et seq.

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 calendar days, shall provide 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 calendar days after the public entity issues its written statement.

If CITY needs approval from its governing body to provide the CONTRACTOR a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 calendar 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, CITY shall have up to three calendar days following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide CONTRACTOR a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.

49 Within 30 calendar days of receipt of a claim, CITY may request in writing additional documentation supporting the claim or relating to defenses or claims 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.

CITY’s written response to the claim, as further documented, shall be submitted to CONTRACTOR within 30 calendar days (if the claim is less than $50,000, within 15 calendar days) after receipt of the further documentation, or within a period of time no greater than that taken by CONTRACTOR in producing the additional information or requested documentation, whichever is greater.

Meet and Confer. If the CONTRACTOR disputes CITY’s written response, or CITY fails to respond within the time prescribed, the CONTRACTOR may so notify CITY, in writing, either within 15 calendar days of receipt of CITY’s response or within 15 calendar days of 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, CITY shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 calendar days for settlement of the dispute.

Mediation. Within 14 calendar days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, 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 calendar days after CITY issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by CONTRACTOR in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with CITY and CONTRACTOR sharing the associated costs equally. CITY and CONTRACTOR shall mutually agree to a mediator within 14 calendar 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.

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.

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.

Unless otherwise agreed to by CITY and CONTRACTOR in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

The mediation shall be held no earlier than the date CONTRACTOR completes the Work or the date that CONTRACTOR last performs Work, whichever is earlier. All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed.

50 Procedures After Mediation. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, CONTRACTOR must file a claim pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 900) and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 910) of Part 3 of Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the Government Code. For purposes of those provisions, the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time CONTRACTOR submits his or her written claim pursuant to subdivision (a) until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference or mediation.

Civil Actions. The following procedures are established for all civil actions filed to resolve claims subject to this Section:

Within 60 calendar days, but no earlier than 30 calendar 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 terms of these procedures.. The mediation process shall provide for the selection within 15 calendar days by both parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be commenced within 30 calendar days of the submittal, and shall be concluded within 15 calendar days from the commencement of the mediation unless a time requirement is extended upon a good cause showing to the court.

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 1114.11 of that code. The Civil Discovery Act of 1986 (Article 3 (commencing with Section 2016) of Chapter 3 of Title 3 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.

In addition to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, (A) arbitrators shall, when possible, be experienced in construction law, and (B) any party appealing an arbitration award who does not obtain a more favorable judgment shall, in addition to payment of costs and fees under that chapter, also pay the attorney’s fees on appeal of the other party.

Government Code Claims. In addition to any and all Contract requirements pertaining to notices of and requests for compensation or payment for extra work, disputed work, claims and/or changed conditions, CONTRACTOR must comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code sections 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, claims, and/or changed conditions have been followed by CONTRACTOR. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if any prerequisite Contractual requirements are not otherwise satisfied as specified herein, CONTRACTOR shall be barred from bringing and maintaining a valid lawsuit against the CITY. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date the work is completed or the date CONTRACTOR last performs work on the Project, whichever occurs first.

A Government Code claim shall be inclusive of all unresolved claims unless a new unrelated claim arises after the Government Code claim is submitted.

51 Non-Waiver. CITY’s failure to respond to a claim from 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. CITY’s failure to respond shall not waive CITY’s rights to any subsequent procedures for the resolution of disputed claims.

24. NON-DISCRIMINATION: Contractor represents that it is an equal opportunity employer and that it shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age or other interests protected by the State or Federal Constitutions. Such non-discrimination shall include, but not be limited to, all activities related to initial employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination. A violation of this section exposes CONTRACTOR to the penalties provided for in Labor Code Section 1735.

25. TERMINATION: This Contract may be terminated by CITY at any time, either with or without cause, by giving CONTRACTOR three (3) calendar days advance written notice. In the event of termination by CITY for any reason other than the fault of CONTRACTOR, CITY shall pay CONTRACTOR for all Work performed up to that time as provided herein. In the event of breach of the Contract by Contractor, CITY may terminate the Contract immediately without notice, may reduce payment to CONTRACTOR in the amount necessary to offset CITY’s resulting damages, and may pursue any other available recourse against CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR may not terminate this Contract except for cause. In the event this Contract is terminated in whole or in part as provided, CITY may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as it may determine appropriate, services similar to those terminated. Further, if this Contract is terminated as provided, CITY may require CONTRACTOR to provide all finished or unfinished documents, data, diagrams, drawings, materials or other matter prepared or built by CONTRACTOR in connection with its performance of this Contract.

26. ANTI-TRUST CLAIMS: This provision shall be operative if this Contract Agreement is applicable to California Public Contract Code Section 7103.5. In entering into this Contract Agreement to supply goods, services or materials, Contractor hereby offers and agrees to assign to the Agency 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. Section 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 pursuant to the Contract Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the Agency tender final payment to Contractor, without further acknowledgment by the Parties.

27. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY. This Contract and every provision herein are for the exclusive benefit of the Contractor and the City and not for the benefit of any other party. There will be no incidental or other beneficiaries of any of the Contractor’s or the City’s obligations under this Contract.

28. TIME IS OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of the Contract Documents.

29. FORCE MAJEURE. If CONTRACTOR is delayed in the performance or progress of the work by a Force Majeure Event, then the CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to a time extension, as

52 provided in the Contract documents, when the work stopped is on the critical path and shall not be charged liquidated damages. Such a non-compensable adjustment shall be CONTRACTOR’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delays and the CONTRACTOR will not receive an adjustment to the Contract price or any other compensation. Contractor must submit a timely request in accordance with the requirements of the Contract documents. A Force Majeure Event shall mean an event that materially affects a party’s performance and is one or more of the following: (1) Acts of God or other natural disasters occurring at the project site; (2) terrorism or other acts of a public enemy; (3) orders of governmental authorities (including, without limitation, unreasonable and unforeseeable delay in the issuance of permits or approvals by governmental authorities that are required for the work); (4) pandemics, epidemics or quarantine restrictions; and (5) strikes and other organized labor action occurring at the project site and the effects thereof on the work, only to the extent such strikes and other organized labor action are beyond the control of CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors, of every tier, and to the extent the effects thereof cannot be avoided by use of replacement workers. For purposes of this section, “orders of governmental authorities,” includes ordinances, emergency proclamations and orders, rules to protect the public health, welfare and safety, and other actions of the City in its capacity as a municipal authority.

30. PROVISIONS REQUIRED BY LAW AND CONTRACTOR COMPLIANCE. Each and every provision of law required to be included in these Contract Documents shall be deemed to be included in these Contract Documents. The Contractor shall comply with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the California Labor Code and California Public Contract Code which are applicable to this Work.

31. ACCEPTANCE OF FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. The Parties agree that this Contract, agreements ancillary to this Contract, and related documents to be entered into in connection with this Contract will be considered signed when the signature of a party is delivered by facsimile transmission. Such facsimile signature will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

32. GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, and exclusive venue for any action involving this Contract will be in Los Angeles County.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement with all the formalities required by law on the respective dates set forth opposite their signatures.

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 Hermosa Beach and its 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 attorney 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 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”

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:

THAT WHEREAS, the City of Hermosa Beach, (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to _________________________, (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for Contract No._________, (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated ________________, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, we, ______________________, the undersigned Contractor and ________________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of ___________________________ DOLLARS, ($____________), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one (1) year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officials, officers, employees, and authorized volunteers, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

As a part of the obligation secured hereby and in addition to the face amount specified therefore, there shall be included costs and reasonable expenses and fees including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by City in enforcing such obligation.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship.

The obligations of Surety hereundershall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains.

57 Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:
i. Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
ii. Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, arrange for a Contract between such Bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the Contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the Contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
iii. Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with California law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the Contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the Contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any Contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project.
