May 19, 2026, Item #3

6. Supply and Output Capability of Seller.

If Seller is unable for any reason to supply City's requirements, Seller shall immediately notify City and provide its best estimate of the delivery and installation, as it may apply. City may, at its sole and exclusive option, notify Seller in writing of City's decision to terminate the order without liability. If the inability to supply City with its needs is not due to the negligence or faults of Seller, and Seller has notified City in writing as soon as Seller discovers the circumstances necessitating a revised delivery date, the termination of the order shall not entitle City to any damages.

7. Claims.

The shipment will be FOB Poway, CA at the address set forth in Section 5 above, with all delivery charges and claims for damage in route are the responsibility of the Seller. Evident damage to any shipment will be indicated by a notation, which will, with the exception of concealed damages, be made by the carrier's agent on the delivery receipt before the receipt is signed for acceptance.

8. Assignment and Delegation: Successors.

Neither Seller nor City shall assign any rights or delegate any obligations to the Contract without express written approval and acceptance of the other party. Any such assignment or delegation without express written approval and acceptance shall be null and void.

9. Indemnification.

Seller agrees to indemnify, defend by an attorney of the City's own choice, and hold harmless, the City, and its elected and appointed officers, agents and employees (the "lndemnitees") against any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, suits, damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively "Claims"), which lndemnitees may suffer or incur or to which lndemnitees may become subject by reason of or arising out of any injury to or death of any person(s), damage to property, loss of use of property, economic loss or otherwise occurring as a result of or allegedly caused by the City's use of the product or installation services sold by seller to City, provided that City has not altered or tampered with such product in any way and has used such product in accordance with Seller's or manufacturer's instructions and warnings. 4of30
May 19, 2026, Item #3
If any action or proceeding is brought against lndemnitees by reason of any of the matters against which Seller has agreed to indemnify lndemnitees as provided above, Seller, upon notice from City, shall defend lndemnitees at Seller's expense in the manner set forth above in this Section 9. lndemnitees need not have first paid for any of the matters to which lndemnitees are entitled to indemnification in order to be so indemnified. The insurance required to be maintained by Seller shall ensure Seller's obligations under this section, but the limits of such insurance shall not limit the liability of Seller hereunder. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Contract.

The provisions of this section do not apply to Claims occurring as a result of this City's sole negligence or willful acts or omissions.

The parties agree to cooperate fully in the resolution of any claims for such liability, loss or damage.

10. Seller's Insurance.

The City shall be named as an additional insured with the bidder. Refer to the Insurance Code of the State of California. Evidence shall be furnished that the requirements of said code are met. Unless specified otherwise, the minimum requirements are as follows:
• Comprehensive General Liability: $1,000,000 Bodily Injury & Property Damage combined each occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate; • Automobile Liability, including owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles:
$1,000,000 Combined Single Limit coverage;
• Workers' Compensation insurance: Per the statutory amount.

Each policy is to provide primary coverage to City and its elected and appointed boards, officers, agents, and employees. It is not secondary or in any way subordinate to any other insurance or coverage maintained by City.

Upon request by City prior to the time of Award of Contract, the bidder agrees to promptly provide City with letters from insurance companies meeting the requirements of the contract documents verifying that they are prepared to issue insurance to bidder meeting all requirements of the contract documents.

The failure of bidder to provide City with insurance meeting all requirements of the contract documents within 15 calendar days after the Award of Contract shall constitute a material breach of the contract, entitling City to terminate the contract.

All bonds and all insurance shall meet the following standards. The issuing company:
5 of30
May 19, 2026, Item #3
a. Shall be an "admitted surety" or an insurance company listed by the State Insurance Commissioner; and
b. Shall have a rating in the latest Best's Rating Guide of "A-"or better and Class VI or better; or be "treasury listed" for the size of risk to be undertaken.

In the event that the company does not satisfy subsection (b) above, the City Attorney or City Manager may only approve such company if the small size of the insurance or surety obligation or other risk factor justify approval, and satisfactory evidence is produced by the company that its financial responsibility and performance capability are sufficient to insure or secure adequately the risk obligation (See City Council Resolution 90-082).

11. Integration.

The terms of this Contract are intended by the parties to be the final expression of the parties' agreement with respect to such terms and also as a complete and exclusive statement of such terms. There are no oral or written agreements other than this Contract, and the Seller's Bid. However, in the event of any conflict between the written expressions of this Contract and the Seller's Bid, the terms and interpretations given to the provisions of this writing shall prevail.

12. Applicable Law.

The order shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any legal action brought to enforce the terms and conditions of this Contract shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction with San Diego County. Seller hereby waives any right to remove any action from San Diego County as is otherwise provided in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 394. In the event any legal action is taken by either party to this Contract, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and court costs from the other party.
