Operator further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.
Operator is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Operator:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)

6 9
9 9
Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Operator’s field of expertise.

13. Licenses. Operator represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Operator to practice its profession.

Operator shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.
14. Indemnity. Operator shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Operator or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Operator shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Operator or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Operator to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Operator from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Operator acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.
