Gabino Arredondo, Interim Richmond Housing Authority
Executive Director
Subject: Nystrom Village Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (ERNA) Amendment
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Proposed terms include the Developer to pay a nonrefundable $100,000 deposit upon execution of the
ERNA which has been satisfied. The Developer seeks a
modification to the term requiring the Developer to pay or reimburse RHA for all predevelopment expenses,
including tenant relocation costs, and RHA consulting
and legal fees. The Developer, citing economic
challenges, is seeking a modification of these terms by requesting the RHA to consider use of the RHA Capital
Fund for some of the predevelopment costs associated
with demolition and relocation costs and is seeking City of Richmond consideration of an ARPA funding request
for predevelopment costs. RHA will receive a capitalized ground lease payment of at least $500,000 for each block payable in two installments during construction, and an annual ground lease payment equal to RHA's pro rata
share of 50 percent of residual receipts, shared with
other soft lenders, as necessary. During years 1-12, RHA will receive a minimum ground lease payment of $50,000
per year. If residual receipts are not sufficient to pay this minimum payment, ground lease payments accrue with
interest and are payable in future years from residual
receipts.

ACTION:
September 13, 2022
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
On February 10, 2023, the ERNA period expired without
a mutually agreed upon Master Development Agreement
(MDA). The development team has requested a time
extension and modifications to the original terms.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution authorizing the Executive Director of the Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) to execute an
extension to the Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (ERNA) with McCormack Baron Salazar and Richmond
Neighborhood Housing Services; and AUTHORIZE the
Executive Director of the RHA to negotiate a Master
Development Agreement (MDA), Ground Leases,
Disposition and Development Agreements, and any other
related documents and agreements necessary for the
redevelopment and operation of Nystrom Village –
Richmond Housing Authority (Nannette Beacham/Gabino
Arredondo 621-1300).
DISCUSSION:
Public Housing Authority Recovery and Sustainability (PHARS) Agreement The Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) has been operating under a Public Housing Authority Recovery and Sustainability (PHARS) Agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) since February 5, 2013. RHA staff members collaborated with representatives from HUD Region IX to prepare a required 2019 PHARS Agreement and Action Plan. The RHA Board of Commissioners approved the 2019 PHARS on October 22, 2019 (Attachment 1). The 2019 PHARS delineates performance outcomes, timelines, and reporting requirements focused on the repositioning of the RHA Public Housing portfolio.
Asset Repositioning
On December 4, 2018, the RHA Board of Commissioners directed staff to move forward with repositioning RHA’s public housing developments and other real estate holdings. This strategy supports the underlying goals of RHA to ensure no reduction in rental housing options for Richmond residents, and to maximize the benefit/utilization of the federal funds. RHA is receiving HUD-funded technical assistance to assist with the asset repositioning and meeting HUD regulations. RHA staff members are working diligently to proceed with the repositioning strategy for Nystrom Village. 21
June 20, 2023
Nystrom Village
Through the implementation of the 2019 PHARS agreement, the proposed redevelopment plan for Nystrom Village will enable RHA to expand its scope to include moderate-income/workforce housing as a component of the redevelopment while also retaining existing very low- and low-income units.
Nystrom Village is a four-block housing development situated between Florida and Virginia Avenue (North to South) and South 13 Street and South 16 Street (East to West) in Richmond. The four-block area encompasses nine acres, and currently houses 51 wood frame duplexes, built in 1941, to house workers from the Kaiser Shipyards. The site has a mix of one hundred (100) 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units. The property is currently owned and managed by RHA. In addition to the age and condition of the units, there are several units with habitability issues that would require hundreds of thousands of dollars to rehabilitate.
On April 20, 2020, RHA issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a qualified housing development team, or team of developers, with capacity to redevelop and operate Nystrom Village with new affordable and market-rate housing units including 100 replacement affordable housing units. Richmond Housing Authority received proposals from three qualified development teams, and a review panel reviewed submittals and made a final recommendation to the RHA Board of Commissioners.
RHA hosted mandatory virtual meetings for potential developers on May 20, 2020, and June 10, 2020, with over 90 participants in attendance via zoom. The meeting provided attendees with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the vision and expectations for Nystrom Village, and an opportunity for prospective developers to ask questions of various department staff.
On July 10, 2020, RHA received three (3) submittals from qualified development teams:
The Pacific Companies (TPC) (in conjunction with EAH Housing and Novin Development); Community Development Partners (CDP); and McCormack Baron Salazar (MBS) (in conjunction with Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services (RNHS)). Each development team has experience redeveloping properties, building new developments, and managing affordable housing developments. Following due diligence review, the Nystrom Village Review Panel recommended MBS and RNHS as the preferred development team to redevelop and operate Nystrom Village.
On September 21, 2021, the RHA Board of Commissioners authorized the Executive Director of the RHA to negotiate an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (ERNA) for the redevelopment and operation of Nystrom Village.
On September 13, 2022, the ERNA was executed, and on February 10, 2023, the ERNA period expired, without a mutually agreed upon MDA (Attachment 3). 22
June 20, 2023
The development team has requested an ERNA time extension and modifications to the original terms related to resident relocation and the ability to request funding support from RHA and the City for predevelopment and demolition. The recommended action and drafted ERNA Extension Agreement addresses the requests to extend the ERNA negotiating period to October 31, 2023, and allows the developer to request funding for predevelopment costs (Attachment 4).

DISCUSSION:
Background
The Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) provides affordable housing for low and very low-income Richmond residents through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) federally funded housing programs. RHA owns multiple public housing properties and manages one property occupied by residents (Nystrom Village) with approximately 100 units. There are an additional 393 units associated with RHA entities (Richmond Village, Triangle Court, Friendship Manor), 148 units recently rehabilitated and occupied at Hacienda Heights, and 142 units currently being renovated by EAH Housing (Nevin Plaza) for a total of 783 units. Funding for the RHA budget is largely dependent on funding from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and thus subject to congressional appropriations. HUD continues the trend of inadequate funding for public housing authorities nationwide, and therefore, it is increasingly difficult for RHA to operate without a General Fund subsidy.
RHA is proposing $5,563,388 in expenditures during FY 2023-2024 to manage the public housing program. These expenditures include personnel costs (currently at 6.0 Full Time Equivalents (FTE)), funds to cover utilities, contracts for property maintenance and unit turn over activities at Nystrom Village, professional services for asset repositioning, and addressing outstanding financial liabilities such as completing financial audits and addressing Internal Revenue Services penalties outlined in the State Audit report, and an operating subsidy pass through for Richmond Village.
Estimated revenue of $4,302,306 is comprised of operating subsidies from HUD, capital funds, and tenant and Administration Building rents.
FY 2022-2023 Budget
Staff recommends that the RHA Board of Commissioners and City Council adopt a resolution approving RHA's FY 2022-2023 operating budget in the amount of 77
June 20, 2023
$4,302,306 in revenues and $5,563,388 in expenditures, with a proposed City of Richmond subsidy amount of $1,261,082. The most significant revenue and expenditure changes are listed below:

June 20, 2023
FY 2022-2023 RHA and COR Accomplishments
RHA’s main goals and objectives for FY 2022-2023, in addition to the management of the public housing program, included moving forward on asset repositioning activities outlined in the 2019 Public Housing Authority Recovery and Sustainability (PHARS) agreement between HUD, City of Richmond, and RHA. RHA, in collaboration with City of Richmond staff, continues to make progress in improving its operations and addressing outstanding tasks outlined in the PHARS.
RHA’s accomplishments at Nevin Plaza include continued meetings between EAH Housing (EAH) and residents to discuss construction and explaining the temporary relocation process as units are being rehabilitated. EAH submitted applications for taxexempt bond financing and 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits and applications were approved for funding. The funding allowed for a significant accomplishment for the asset repositioning process of Nevin Plaza which involved the sale to EAH Housing. The successful closing occurred on March 17, 2023, and construction began in late April 2023. Maintenance and day-to-day operations improved, however there was a heating repair that impacted the distribution of heat in the building. The repair to the heating pumps was completed in late May 2023.
Regarding Nystrom Village, on September 13, 2022, the RHA Board of Commissioners approved and Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (ERNA) for the redevelopment and operation of Nystrom Village with McCormack Baron Salazar (MBS) and Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services. On February 10, 2023, the ERNA period expired, without a mutually agreed upon Master Development Agreement (MDA). The final MDA has not been completed according to the developer due to the impact of changing economic conditions and access to funding for predevelopment costs. The developer continues to express interest in reaching an agreement and requested more time for negotiations. The RHA continues to meet weekly with the developer and plans to bring to the Board an item to consider the ERNA extension in late June 2023. There is still a high vacancy at Nystrom due to units being in disrepair. RHA and City staff have worked collaboratively to conduct multiple cleanup activities at the site. Fortunately, illegal dumping has decreased. Additional units have had to be secured with the VPS systems to minimize break-ins.
For several years the RHA Board of Commissioners and City Council have worked towards the revival and renovation of 150 units of affordable housing at the Hacienda site. The building was vacant for over five years and was an eyesore to the community.
Construction has been completed. One hundred percent of the residential units will remain as affordable housing, restricted to seniors (two of the units are unrestricted managers units). The leasing of all the units has been completed.
Richmond Village I (RV I) and Richmond Village II (RV II) reached the end of the 15- year federal tax credit compliance period. The original investment limited partners (ILP) are entities affiliated with AIG and SunAmerica. The ILP has agreed to sell its limited partnership interests to MBS for a nominal amount. RHA successfully negotiated a new 80
June 20, 2023
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MBS. The MOU provides a commitment for RHA to continue working with MBS on resyndication. Under the MOU, RHA will continue to work with MBS on asset repositioning activities which includes the conversion of public housing units to the Section 8 platform. The next step is to submit a Section 18/RAD application to HUD. The completion of the application has recently been delayed due to contracting challenges by HUD to the technical service provider assigned to RHA.

AGENDA
REPORT

June 20, 2023
DISCUSSION:
The City Attorney’s Office currently uses paper copies, electronic Word templates, Excel spreadsheets, and Outlook for document management and assignment tracking. The City Attorney’s Office has been evaluating software solutions designed to modernize and more efficiently manage the large number of documents created or processed by its staff. Over the course of the last six months, City staff researched a variety of solutions to more expeditiously store, retrieve, catalog, and track its transactional, advisory, and litigation portfolios. The proposed system will be used to transition the bulk of the City Attorney’s Office workflow to a digital platform allowing it to more efficiently manage its workflow.
As part of its evaluation of various document management systems, the City Attorney’s Office obtained recommendations from several public agency law practices. After additional research, City staff then selected several vendors and participated in detailed product demonstrations.
Among the factors evaluated were ease of implementation and use, compatibility with existing systems, start up and subscription costs, and optical character recognition capabilities. Both administrative and attorney staff members participated in the software demonstrations, evaluating the following proficiencies:
User-friendly, responsive and intuitive, and graphical interface. Application, technical, and administration training.
Ongoing, 24x7 support and maintenance.
The ability to categorize, search, and preview a variety of digital document formats (PDF, Doc, JPEG, TXT).
Ability to redact, version, and save originals.
Ability to generate batch letters, forms, and other documents, and populate forms with appropriate data from within the file management system. Ability to perform optical character recognition (OCR) all document formats saved in the file system.
Ability to limit and preferably eliminate redundant data entry. Ability to access and utilize new file management system remotely on mobile or other wireless device at any location. Users must have the ability to work “offline” to not only read files but update and complete tasks remotely. Contract Management: the ability to track City contract end dates, renewal dates, and end dates with task and calendar reminders.
Email Management: Ability to sort and link emails to the file, sync calendars and tasks, pull and update court dates from and integrate with Outlook.
After evaluating the software of four document management service (“DMS”) vendors, the iManage Work 10 platform was selected as the preferred choice both because of its wide implementation in the legal field and the familiarity of its interface. 180
June 20, 2023
A document management service (“DMS”) like iManage, creates a database with information about the documents (called “metadata”) where details such as key words, dates, document types, and other information are all recorded. iManage is a popular vehicle for electronic document management and has multiple add-on modules including workflow business process automation and electronic forms.
It is compatible with the City’s existing enterprise technology solutions, and its use will improve the retention and security of important documents and records. Records that have already been scanned or electronically archived can be directly imported into iManage. The software contains a natural language-based search capability to find content quickly and refine using filters. iManage integrates with Outlook to increase efficiency. All documents contained in iManage are text searchable. The software contains intuitive tools for internal or external collaboration, allowing the City Attorney’s Office to more efficiently collaborate with both internal clients and outside stakeholders.
The software is entirely cloud based and contains robust security tools. Lastly, it allows. for full mobile access enabling users to work when and where they need to. iManage Work Cloud functionality includes:
iManage
Microsoft Office & Adobe Integration
iManage Work Web Interface
Outlook Integration
Email Management for Outlook with suggestive filing
Automatic Email Attachment Recognition
Offline access to documents and e-mails
iManage Control Center for administrative duties
Storage for all documents
High Availability, Backup and Disaster Recovery
24x7 support
The contract term desired is for the initial implementation and system maintenance would be supported for a period of three (3) years. The City Attorney’s Office will incur approximately $38,000 in costs for licensing and data migration during the first year of implementation with additional annual costs of $24,000 for years two and three for a total three-year contract amount not to exceed $86,000.
O2 Cloudworks Company, which is a boutique woman-owned technology company, has helped law firms and legal departments transition from a legacy Server-based system to a next-generation iManage Cloud-based Document system. O2’s proposal includes a fixed fee for migrating existing data into iManage, and a training component for a onetime total implementation cost of $14,100. Thereafter, the monthly subscription cost will be $2,000 per month which is billed annually. iManage has provided a quote for a 36mo/3yr term. The total cost for the project including implementation is $86,100.
PROCUREMENT PROCESS:
181
June 20, 2023
In addition to iManage, the City Attorney’s Office also reached out to and received demonstrations and quotes from three other vendors, NetDocs, ProLaw, and CityLaw.
Of the three other vendors, NetDocs was the most similar to iManage, but its storage options were somewhat limited. ProLaw and CityLaw provided a suite of tools but lacked certain OCR capabilities. None of the other three vendors could offer the integration and natural language information retrieval systems that iManage offers.
Additionally, iManage’s wide adoption at both private law firms and in-house City Attorney’s Offices such as Alameda County Counsel, City of Oakland, City of Fresno, City of Santa Ana, and the City of Newport Beach also convinced City staff that it would be a good fit.

Unless iManage believes an immediate suspension is required, iManage will provide reasonable notice before suspending the Authorized User’s use of the Services or the iManage Software. iManage may seek all reasonable legal remedies available to it if a violation of this Section 3.2 occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, the suspension rights in this Section only apply to those Authorized Users whom iManage knows or reasonably suspects are in violation of Section 3.2 (and not to Customer generally).

If so, during the applicable Order Term, Customer may install and use the iManage Software only for use with the Cloud Services. Customer must uninstall the iManage Software when Customer’s right to use the Cloud Services ends.
4. Fees; Payment Terms. In the event that a Partner places an Order with iManage on Customer’s behalf, only Section
4.8 of this Section 4 shall apply to Customer.
4.1 Fees. Customer shall pay iManage the Fees in accordance with this Section 4. Fees shall be paid in the currency as detailed in the applicable Order.
4.2 Non-refundable and No Cancellation. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, all Orders, including all payment obligations thereunder, are non-cancelable and all payments made are non-refundable. 192
4 4.3 Taxes. Orders pursuant to this Agreement do not include any transaction taxes, which may include local, state, provincial, federal, or foreign taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including value-added taxes, excise, use, goods and services taxes, consumption taxes or similar taxes (collectively defined as “General Taxes”). All Fees invoiced pursuant to this Agreement are payable in full and without reduction for General Taxes and/or foreign withholding taxes (collectively defined as “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Fees due pursuant to this Agreement and all Orders, excluding income taxes imposed on iManage (“iManage Income Tax”). If iManage has a legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes (expressly excluding iManage Income Tax) for which Customer is responsible under this Agreement, the appropriate amount shall be computed based on Customer’s address listed in the applicable Order and invoiced to and paid by Customer. Customer hereby confirms that iManage can rely on the sold-to name and address set forth in the Order(s) that Customer places with iManage as being the place of supply for purposes of any General Tax. If Customer is legally entitled to an exemption from the payment of any Taxes, Customer will promptly provide iManage with legally sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction for which it claims exemption.
4.4 Disputed Fees. If Customer disputes any portion of Fees set forth on any invoice, Customer shall within thirty (30) days of the date of the applicable invoice (a) pay the undisputed portion of Fees on said invoice and (b) notify iManage, in writing, of its basis for contesting the disputed Fees. The Parties agree to discuss any dispute within ten (10) days of iManage’s receipt of such notification. If necessary, iManage shall provide an amended invoice to Customer after the discussion and Customer will pay such invoice within the time period set forth in the applicable Order.
4.5 Late Payment. If Customer fails to make any undisputed payment when due then, in addition to all other remedies that may be available, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days following written notice of such failure (including notice that the Cloud Services may be suspended), iManage may suspend performance of the Cloud Services until all past due amounts have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Customer by reason of such suspension. At iManage’s discretion, past due amounts may accrue a late fee equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by applicable Law.
4.6 No Deductions or Setoffs. All amounts payable to iManage under this Agreement shall be paid by Customer to iManage in full without any setoff, deduction or withholding for any reason (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as may be required by applicable Law).
4.7 Purchase Orders. If Customer requires the use of a purchase order or purchase order number, Customer (a) must provide the purchase order number at the time of purchase and (b) agrees that any terms and conditions on any such purchase order are null and void and will not apply to Customer’s procurement of the Services or any other subject matter of this Agreement.
4.8 Purchases Through Partners. Customer may authorize a Partner to place an Order with iManage on Customer’s behalf. Partners are not agents of iManage and are not authorized to enter into any agreement with Customer on behalf of iManage. iManage Partners are not authorized to make any promises or commitments on iManage’s behalf, and iManage shall have no obligation to Customer other than those obligations specifically set forth and agreed to by iManage and Customer in this Agreement. If Customer orders from a Partner, the Partner will set Customer’s pricing and payment terms for that Order, and Customer will pay the amounts due to the Partner.
Customer consents to iManage and its Affiliates providing the Partner with Administrator Data (as defined below) for purposes of provisioning, administering, and supporting (if applicable) the Services. The Partner may use such data according to the terms of the Partner’s agreement with Customer. “Administrator Data” means the information provided to iManage or its Affiliates during sign-up, purchase, or administration of the Services. Under the terms and conditions of the applicable Partner Agreement, iManage is entitled to suspend or terminate Customer’s subscription to the Cloud Services, Customer’s rights to access and use the Cloud Service, and remove and discard any Customer Data (pursuant to the terms herein), if iManage is notified by Partner of Customer’s failure to pay amounts due to Partner with respect to Customer’s subscription to the Cloud Services; provided that, if Customer properly pays Partner, failure by such Partner to make any requisite payments to iManage shall not affect the validity or enforceability of iManage’s obligations hereunder, nor shall it affect the validity of any access and use right which is subject to this Agreement. Customer consents to this suspension and termination right and acknowledges and agrees that iManage shall have no liability to Customer of any kind with respect to any such suspension or termination. Customer’s sole recourse with respect to any such suspension or termination shall be against Partner.
5. Intellectual Property Rights.
5.1 Services and Documentation. All right, title, and interest in and to the Services, the iManage Software, and Documentation, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, are and will remain with iManage. Customer has no right, license, or authorization with respect to any of the Services or Documentation except as expressly set 193
5 forth in Section 3.1, in each case subject to Section 3.2. All other rights in and to the Services, the iManage Software, and Documentation are expressly reserved by iManage.
5.2 Customer Data. As between Customer and iManage, Customer is and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all Customer Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights relating thereto.
6. Confidentiality and Security.
6.1 Confidential Information. In connection with this Agreement, each Party or one of its Affiliates (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available Confidential Information to the other Party or one of its Affiliates (as the “Receiving Party”) (including Confidential Information that might be disclosed through, or to, a Partner). Subject to Section 6.2, “Confidential Information” means information in any form or medium (whether oral, written, electronic or other) disclosed, or made available, by a Party, or on behalf of a Party, to the other Party that is identified as confidential at time of disclosure or is disclosed, or made available, under circumstances that would reasonably indicate confidential treatment, including information consisting of or relating to the Disclosing Party’s technology, trade secrets, know-how, business operations, plans, strategies, customers, pricing, and information with respect to which the Disclosing Party has contractual or other confidentiality obligations, in each case whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential”. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) all Customer Data, Professional Services Data and Support Data is and will remain the Confidential Information of Customer, (b) the Services, iManage Software and Documentation are and will remain the Confidential Information of iManage and (c) the terms and existence of this Agreement are Confidential Information of each Party with respect to the other.
6.2 Exclusions. Confidential Information does not include information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by written or other documentary records: (a) was rightfully known to the Receiving Party without restriction on use or disclosure prior to such information’s being disclosed or made available to the Receiving Party in connection with this Agreement; (b) was or becomes generally known by the public other than by the Receiving Party’s or any of its Representatives’ noncompliance with this Agreement; (c) was or is received by the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party that, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, was not or is not, at the time of such receipt, under any obligation to maintain its confidentiality; or (d) was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of any Confidential Information.
6.3 Protection of Confidential Information. As a condition to being provided with any disclosure of or access to Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall:
(a) not access or use Confidential Information other than as necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement; (b) except as may be permitted by and subject to its compliance with Section 6.4, not disclose or permit access to Confidential Information other than to its Representatives who: (i) need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of the Receiving Party’s exercise of its rights or performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Section 6.3; and (iii) are bound by confidentiality and restricted use obligations at least as protective of the Confidential Information as the terms set forth in this Section 6.3;
(c) safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure using at least the degree of care it uses to protect its sensitive information and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care: (i) with respect to trade secrets, for so long as such trade secrets qualify as trade secrets under applicable Law, (ii) with respect to Customer Data, in perpetuity, and (iii) with respect to all other Confidential Information, for five (5) years from the date of receipt or for such period as the information remains confidential, whichever is longer; and
(d) ensure its Representatives’ compliance with and be responsible and liable for any of its Representatives’ non-compliance with, the terms of this Section 6.
6.4 Compelled Disclosures. If the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives is compelled by applicable Law or a Regulator to disclose any Confidential Information then, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or such Regulator, the Receiving Party shall: (a) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party can oppose such disclosure, seek a protective order or other limitation on disclosure, or waive its rights under Section 6.3; and (b) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. If the Disclosing Party waives compliance or the Receiving Party, after providing the notice and assistance required under this Section 6.4, remains required by Law or such Regulator to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the 194
6 Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose and, on the Disclosing Party’s request, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances from the applicable court or other presiding authority that such Confidential Information will be afforded confidential treatment.
6.5 Additional iManage Obligations Regarding Law Enforcement. iManage will not disclose or provide access to any Confidential Information to law enforcement unless required by Law. If law enforcement contacts iManage with a demand for Confidential Information, iManage will attempt to redirect the law enforcement agency to request that data directly from Customer. If compelled to disclose or provide access to any Confidential Information to law enforcement, iManage will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or the applicable law enforcement agency, (a) promptly notify Customer and provide a copy of the demand; (b) assess the legitimacy of any request, including the identity of the sender; (c) submit any clarifications necessary to understand the scope of the disclosure request; and (d) oppose any blanket disclosure requests. iManage will not provide any law enforcement agency with: (1) blanket or unfettered access to Confidential Information; (2) platform encryption keys used to secure Customer Data or the ability to break such encryption; or (3) access to Confidential Information if iManage is aware that the data is to be used for purposes other than those stated in the third party’s request. In support of the above, iManage may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the law enforcement agency.
6.6 Security. During the Agreement Term (as defined in Section 7.1), iManage will maintain commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures, including disaster recovery and business continuity procedures, designed to: (a) ensure the security and integrity of Customer Data, and (b) protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Data. Such security safeguards and measures applicable to Customer Data are further described in Exhibit B. Customer is solely responsible for making an independent determination as to whether the technical and organizational measures meet Customer’s requirements.
7. Term and Termination.
7.1 Agreement Term. This Agreement shall commence on the first Order Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to any of this Agreement’s express provisions, will continue for as long as there is an Order in effect (the “Agreement Term”).

7.3 Order Renewal Term. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in the applicable Order, each Order will automatically renew for additional successive one-year terms unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement’s express provisions or either Party gives the other Party written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term (each, an “Order Renewal Term”).
7.4 Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, either Party may terminate this Agreement or an Order, effective on written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement or that Order, and such breach: (a) is incapable of cure; or (b) being capable of cure, remains uncured thirty (30) days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice of such breach with specific reference to the non-breaching Party’s right of termination under this Section
7.4. Termination of an Order shall not result in the automatic termination of any other Orders in existence.
7.5 Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or an Order, as applicable, except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement:
(a) all rights, licenses, consents, and authorizations granted by either Party to the other hereunder will immediately terminate;
(b) Customer shall cease all use of any Services, iManage Software, and Documentation, and (i) promptly return to iManage or, at iManage’s written request, destroy all documents and tangible materials containing, reflecting, incorporating, or based on any Documentation or iManage Confidential Information, and (ii) permanently erase all iManage Software, Documentation and iManage Confidential Information from all systems Customer directly or indirectly controls;
(c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to information and materials then in its possession or control: (i) the Receiving Party may retain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, in its then current state and solely to the extent and for so long as required by applicable Law; (ii) the Receiving Party also may retain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in its backups and disaster recovery systems until such Confidential Information is deleted or otherwise remediated in the ordinary course of 195
7 business (not to exceed 180 days); and (iii) all information and materials described in this Section 7.5(c) will remain subject to all confidentiality, security and other applicable requirements of this Agreement; (d) if Customer properly terminates this Agreement or an Order, Customer will be relieved of any obligation to pay any applicable Fees attributable to the period after the effective date of such termination and iManage will: (i) refund to Customer all Fees paid in advance for Services that iManage has not performed as of the effective date of termination and (ii) pay to Customer any unpaid Service Credit (as defined in Exhibit A) to which Customer is entitled (for the avoidance of doubt, the termination of an Order shall not affect the Customer’s obligation to pay Fees in respect of any other Orders which continue in existence); and (e) if iManage properly terminates this Agreement or an Order, all Fees that would have become payable had this Agreement remained in effect until expiration of the applicable Order Term will become immediately due and payable, and Customer shall pay such Fees, together with previously accrued but not yet paid Fees, on receipt of iManage’s invoice therefor.

9. Indemnification.
9.1 iManage Indemnification. iManage shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against Losses incurred by Customer arising out of or relating to any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of Customer) to the extent that such Losses arise from use of the Services, the iManage Software and Documentation (excluding Customer Data) in compliance with this Agreement that infringes an Intellectual Property Right of such third party. The foregoing obligation does not apply to any Action or Losses arising out of or relating to any:
(a) access to or use of the Services, the iManage Software, or Documentation in combination with any hardware, system, software, network or other materials or service not provided or authorized in the Documentation or otherwise in writing by iManage;
(b) modification of the Services, the iManage Software, or Documentation other than: (i) by or on behalf of iManage; or (ii) with iManage’s written approval in accordance with iManage’s written specification; or (c) failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements, or enhancements that require Customer action to implement, and are made available to Customer by or on behalf of iManage.
9.2 Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless iManage and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each, an “iManage Indemnitee”) from and against Losses incurred by such iManage Indemnitee in connection with any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of an iManage Indemnitee) that arises out of or relates to: (a) Customer Data infringing the Intellectual Property Right of such third party; or (b) Customer’s use of the Services in violation of this Agreement or the Documentation.
9.3 Indemnification Procedure. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Action for which such Party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2. The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 9.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.
9.4 Mitigation. At its option and sole cost and expense, iManage is entitled to mitigate the risk or Losses of any actual or threatened infringement of any third party’s Intellectual Property Right by:

(b) modifying or replacing the Services, the iManage Software, and Documentation, in whole or in part, to make the Services, the iManage Software, and Documentation (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Services, iManage Software, and Documentation, as applicable, under this Agreement; or (c) if options (a) or (b) are not commercially reasonable, by written notice to Customer, terminating this Agreement with respect to all or part of the Services, the iManage Software, and Documentation, requiring Customer immediately to cease any use of the Services, iManage Software, and Documentation or any specified part or feature thereof, adjusting Fees going forward, and issuing Customer a refund equal to the balance of any prepaid amount.

14 Exhibit A
Service Level Agreement
1) Service Levels. iManage will make the Cloud Services available for access and use by Customer and its Authorized Users in each Region (as defined below) (“Available” and “Unavailable” will be interpreted accordingly) at least 99.9% of the time as measured over the course of each calendar month during the applicable Order Term, excluding unavailability of the Cloud Services due to Scheduled Downtime (as defined in paragraph (6) below) or any of the Exceptions (as defined below).
“Exceptions” mean performance or availability issues: (a) due to a Force Majeure Event; (b) that result from the use of services, hardware, or software not provided by iManage, including issues resulting from inadequate bandwidth or related to third-party software or services; (c) caused by software that is not being run by iManage itself as part of the Cloud Services; (d) during or with respect to beta or trial versions of the Cloud Services, features or software; (e) that result from Customer’s unauthorized action or lack of action when required, or from Customer’s employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access to iManage’s network by means of Customer passwords or equipment, or otherwise resulting from Customer’s failure to follow appropriate security practices; or (f) that result from Customer’s failure to adhere to any required configurations, use supported platforms, or follow any policies for acceptable use, or from Customer’s use of the Cloud Services in a manner inconsistent with the features and functionality of the Cloud Services (for example, attempts to perform operations that are not supported) or inconsistent with the Documentation.
“Region” means the applicable region(s) accommodating the data center(s) from which the Cloud Services are provisioned, as detailed in the relevant Order.
Availability of the Cloud Services shall be calculated on a per Region basis, as follows:
[(
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 − 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑑 − 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑑
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 − 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑑 ) × 100]
Where:
• total means the total number of minutes in the calendar month in the applicable Region; • nonexcluded means the total number of minutes in the calendar month where the Cloud Services is Unavailable in the applicable Region, excluding Unavailability of the Cloud Services due to Scheduled Downtime or any of the Exceptions; and
• excluded means the total number of minutes in the calendar month where the Cloud Services is Unavailable in the applicable Region due to Scheduled Downtime or any of the Exceptions.
The service levels and Service Credits set forth in this Exhibit A do not apply to on-premises software licensed as part of Customer’s subscription.
2) Claims.
a) In order for iManage to consider a claim for Service Credit, Customer must submit the claim to iManage customer support including all information necessary for iManage to validate the claim, including: (i) the affected Region; (ii) a detailed description of the incident; (iii) information regarding the time and duration of the downtime; (iv) the number and location(s) of affected Authorized Users (if applicable); and (v) descriptions of attempts to resolve the incident at the time of occurrence.
b) iManage must receive the claim by the end of the calendar month following the month in which the incident occurred. For example, if the incident occurred on February 15th, iManage must receive the claim and all required information by March 31st.
c) iManage will evaluate all information reasonably available to iManage and make a good faith determination of whether a Service Credit is owed. iManage will use commercially reasonable efforts to process claims during the subsequent month and within thirty (30) days of receipt. Customer must be in compliance with this Agreement in order to be eligible for a Service Credit.
3) Service Credits.
a) If iManage determines that a Service Credit is owed to Customer pursuant to paragraph (2) above, iManage shall apply the Service Credit to Customer as set forth in the table below (each, a “Service Credit”). Service Credits are awarded on a per Region basis. Where fees for the Cloud Services are not allocated on a per Region basis in the relevant Order, the Service Credit shall be calculated by dividing the total monthly fee (or 1/12th of the total annual subscription fee, as applicable) by the number of Regions. For the avoidance of doubt, 203
15 Unavailability of the Cloud Services in one Region will not result in Service Credits being awarded in respect of any other Region where the Cloud Services are Available.
Service Level Service Credit (% of 1/12th of the
annual subscription fee, for the
affected Region)
Less than 99.9% but
not less than 99.0%
10%
Less than 99.0% but
not less than 98.0%
25%
Less than 98.0% but
not less than 95.0%

b) Subject to paragraph (4) below, Service Credits are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any availability issues under this Agreement. Customer may not unilaterally offset for any performance or availability issues. c) Service Credits apply only to Fees paid for the particular Cloud Service for which the service level has not been met. The Service Credits awarded with respect to any billing month, for the affected Region, will not, under any circumstance, exceed the Fees for the particular Cloud Service in such billing month for that Region. 4) Termination. Customer may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to iManage, in the event the Cloud Services are Available less than 99.0% in any three months, in the same Region, during any consecutive six (6) month period. In such an event, iManage will issue Customer a refund equal to the balance of any prepaid amount. 5) Service Monitoring, Management and Reporting. iManage shall continuously monitor and manage the Cloud Services.
Customer may subscribe to Cloud Services notifications and, during the applicable Order Term, iManage will provide such notifications when an issue begins, while the issue is ongoing and when the issue has been resolved. Additionally, iManage publishes Availability reports on the iManage Data Center Alerts page of the iManage support website found at https://help.imanage.com and Customer may subscribe to receive a notification when such reports are published. 6) Scheduled Downtime. iManage reserves the right to schedule downtime for routine maintenance of the Cloud Services in each Region (“Scheduled Downtime”). iManage shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice to Customer at least seven (7) calendar days before any Scheduled Downtime. 7) Emergency Maintenance. iManage reserves the right to perform emergency maintenance services at any time and without prior notice to Customer; provided that, iManage will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice to Customer. For the sake of clarity, emergency maintenance shall not be considered an Exception. 8) Pre-Production, Development, Testing and Similar Environments. The service levels and Service Credits set forth in this Exhibit A do not apply to Customer’s pre-production, development, testing, or similar environments. 9) Previews, Proof-of-Concepts and Trials. Previews, proof-of-concepts, and trials ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS,” “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” as described herein. The service levels and Service Credits set forth in this Exhibit A do not apply to previews, proof-of-concepts, or trials. iManage may change or discontinue previews at any time without notice. iManage may also choose not to make a preview generally commercially available. 204
16 Exhibit B
General Security Exhibit
1) Purpose. This Exhibit B summarizes the technical and organizational measures that iManage has implemented to protect Customer Data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access, which are iManage’s only responsibility with respect to the security of Customer Data. iManage may adapt such measures from time to time, for example, as a result of the development of regulations, technology, and other industry considerations.
2) Information Security Management. iManage has appointed one or more security officers responsible for coordinating and monitoring security rules and procedures. iManage maintains an information security program designed to protect Customer Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. The information security program may be updated from time to time based on changes in applicable legal and regulatory requirements, best practices and industry standards related to privacy and data security. 3) Standards. iManage uses commercially reasonable and appropriate methods and safeguards to protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of Customer Data. iManage adheres, and at all times will adhere, to information security practices at least as protective of Customer Data as identified in ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 (or substantially equivalent or replacement standards) or other generally accepted authoritative standards (e.g., SSAE 16, SOC2). 4) iManage Personnel. iManage maintains written policies and procedures that address the roles and responsibilities of iManage Personnel, including both technical and non-technical personnel, who have access to Customer Data in connection with providing the Cloud Services. All iManage Personnel with access to Customer Data receive annual training. iManage ensures that access rights are revoked for all iManage Personnel immediately upon the termination of their employment, contractual or other relationships with iManage. 5) Information Security Infrastructure.
a) Asset Inventory. iManage maintains inventories of all media on which Customer Data is stored. Access to such inventories is restricted to authorized iManage Personnel. b) Access Controls for iManage Personnel.
i) Access Policy. iManage enforces an access control policy (physical, technical, and administrative) based on least privileges principles.
ii) Access Authorization.
(1) iManage maintains an authorization management system designed to ensure that only authorized iManage Personnel (technical and non-technical) are granted access to systems containing Customer Data. (2) All iManage Personnel accessing systems containing Customer Data have a separate, unique username.
Deactivated and expired usernames are not recycled or otherwise granted to other individuals. (3) iManage restricts access to Customer Data solely to iManage Personnel who have a need to access Customer Data in connection with the Cloud Services or as otherwise required by applicable Law. iii) Authentication.
(1) iManage uses industry standard practices, including strong authentication, to identify and authenticate all iManage Personnel who attempt to access iManage network or information systems. (2) Where authentication credentials of iManage Personnel are based on passwords, iManage requires that such passwords meet minimum requirements for length and complexity. iManage maintains practices designed to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of passwords when assigned, distributed, and stored. (3) Accounts of iManage Personnel are locked out in case of repeated attempts to gain access to the information system using an invalid password.
c) Encryption. iManage encrypts Customer Data at rest within the Cloud Services using ciphers at least as strong as 256-bit AES. Customer Data in transit to and from the Cloud Services is transferred to/from the Cloud Services across encrypted network connections and/or protocols (i.e., HTTPS and/or VPN). Backups of Customer Data are encrypted and stored in a secondary data center.
d) Encryption with Customer Key. Customer assumes all risks of data deletion, inaccessibility, and service outages that result from any unavailability of an encryption key created or maintained solely by Customer (such as the private key in a public-private pair), or where unavailability of any encryption key is caused by an act or omission of Customer or any Authorized User.
205
17 e) Network and Host Security.
i) Network Security. iManage utilizes an enterprise-class security information and event management (SIEM) system and maintains firewalls and other control measures (e.g., security appliances, network segmentation) to provide reasonable assurance that access from and to its networks is appropriately controlled. ii) Security Updates. iManage uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Cloud Services operating systems and applications that are associated with Customer Data are patched and otherwise secured to mitigate the likelihood and impact of security vulnerabilities in accordance with iManage’s patch management processes and within a reasonable time after iManage has actual or constructive knowledge of any critical or high-risk security vulnerabilities. iManage conducts vulnerability testing on a monthly basis. iii) Malicious Software. iManage maintains anti-malware controls to help prevent malicious software from causing accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Data. f) Physical Security.
i) iManage maintains physical security safeguards at any facilities where iManage hosts Customer Data. Physical access to such facilities is only granted following a formal authorization procedure and access rights are reviewed periodically.
ii) Such facilities are rated as Tier 3 data centers or greater, and access to such facilities must be limited to identified and authorized individuals. Such facilities use a variety of industry standard systems to protect against loss of data due to power supply failure, fire, and other natural hazards. g) Backups. iManage provides 24/7 managed backup services that include Customer Data stored in the primary site backed up on at least a daily basis to a secondary site. iManage provides backup services for all components of the solution included in the Cloud Services. Backups are maintained for a period of ninety (90) days in the primary data center, and ninety (90) days in the secondary data center. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cloud Service known as Closing Folders only maintains backups for thirty (30) days. h) Data Management. iManage maintains commercially reasonable controls for information governance and data management in connection with the Cloud Services. iManage destroys, deletes, or otherwise makes irrecoverable Customer Data upon the disposal or removal of storage media. Customer Data for each Customer is logically separated from data of other iManage customers.
6) Independent Assessments. On an annual basis, iManage has an independent third-party organization conduct an independent assessment of the standards set forth in paragraph (3) of this Exhibit B. Additionally, iManage undergoes penetration testing, conducted by an independent third-party organization, on an annual basis. Upon Customer’s request (not more than one time per calendar year), and subject to the confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations set forth in this Agreement, iManage shall make available to Customer information regarding iManage’s compliance with the obligations set forth in this Agreement in the form of iManage’s ISO 27001 certification and/or SOC 2 or SOC 3 reports.
7) Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. iManage maintains a business continuity plan that is compliant with ISO 22301. iManage also maintains disaster recovery capabilities designed to minimize disruption to the Cloud Services.
Included within these plans is disaster recovery incident management, procedures for the recovery of access to Customer Data in the secondary data center, as well as the periodic testing/exercising of the disaster recovery plan. 8) Customer’s Responsibility. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Exhibit B, Customer understands and acknowledges that Customer is solely responsible for implementing and maintaining appropriate security measures for all systems within Customer’s control. Failure to maintain appropriate security measures by Customer may relieve iManage for any Security Incident (as defined in Exhibit C), if such Security Incident was a result of Customer’s failure. 206

5. Security Incident Management.
(a) Notice. iManage will notify Customer of any breach of security that results in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Customer Data or Personal Data while Processed by iManage (a “Security Incident”) without undue delay after becoming aware of the Security Incident and, in any event, within 48 hours of becoming aware of such Security Incident. Notification of a Security Incident will be delivered to one or more of Customer’s administrators by any means iManage selects, including via email. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure Customer’s administrators maintain 209
21 accurate contact information on the iManage support website found at https://help.imanage.com. Customer is solely responsible for complying with its obligations under incident notification Laws applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations related to any Security Incident. iManage’s obligation to report or respond to a Security Incident is not an acknowledgement by iManage of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident. Similarly, Customer’s failure to comply with notification provisions hereunder or otherwise and any liabilities arising therefrom will not be attributed to iManage. (b) In the event of a Security Incident, iManage will (i) investigate the Security Incident; (ii) provide Customer with information about the Security Incident (including, where possible, the nature of the Security Incident, the contact from whom more information can be obtained, and the likely consequences of the Security Incident), which information may be provided in phases as it becomes available; and (iii) take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of, and to help minimize any damage resulting from, the Security Incident. In the event that a Security Incident was not due to the fault of iManage, iManage will cooperate with Customer with reasonable costs and expenses to be covered by Customer. (c) iManage shall make reasonable efforts to assist Customer in fulfilling Customer’s obligation under GDPR Article 33 or other applicable Data Protection Legislation to notify the relevant Supervisory Authority and Data Subjects about such Security Incident.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.
Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to 232
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.

An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.
The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.
(e) Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Contract does not relieve Contractor from liability under this Section

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.

Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place.
