AGENDA
REPORT
13
April 2, 2024
DISCUSSION:
On October 18, 2022, the Richmond Police Department (RPD) issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) seeking quotes from qualified professionals to install approximately 30 stationary Automated License Plate Reader (“ALPR”) camera systems at strategic locations within the City of Richmond. Seven-hundred and ten (710) vendors were notified, and four (4) submitted proposals before the deadline of December 9, 2022.
Two (2) of the bids received did not meet the RFP requirements (one submitted a letter of intent, and the other was above the budgeted amount of $100,000/year). RPD staff met with the two remaining vendors, Flock Group, Inc., and Utility Associates. After thorough research, discussion, and reference checks, the evaluation committee scored Flock Group, Inc. 295 points out of 300. The evaluation committee scored Utility Associates 185 out of a possible 300 points. On February 28, 2023, the Richmond City Council unanimously authorized the approval of a three-year agreement with Flock Group, Inc. On November 7, 2023, City Council authorized a first contract amendment with Flock Group, Inc. to install additional cameras throughout the City.
The City and Surplus Property Authority now seek approval for a second amendment with Flock Group, Inc. to install six additional cameras at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal to prevent side shows, vandalism, and illicit activity. The Point Potrero Marine Terminal is owned by the Surplus Property Authority, which is why this item is being approved by both the City Council and Commissioners of the Surplus Property Authority (comprised of the Mayor and City Council members). The Port will pay for this contract amendment even though the original agreement and amendment were funded through the Police Department budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
As this is maintenance work, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

AGENDA
REPORT
84
April 2, 2024
DISCUSSION:
Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez & Trester, LLP defends the City of Richmond in police tort litigation cases. The City Attorney’s Office wants to continue contracting with Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez & Trester, LLP, who are seasoned police tort litigators.
The City Attorney’s Office is requesting a new legal services agreement with Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez & Trester, LLP to continue to provide legal advice and representation as they have the experience and expertise necessary to continue to represent the City in pending and future police tort litigation matters.
Due to an administrative error, the council approved contract amendment 1 with Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez & Trester, LLP, but the contract amendment was not routed for signatures. As such, the contract, although approved by Council to extend the term to June 30, 2023 and for $75,000 for a total not to exceed $120,000, expired on June 30, 2022. Therefore, the City Attorney’s Office is requesting that the City enter into a new contract with Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez & Trester, LLP for a total contract amount of $75,000 for a contract term beginning July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025.

k. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Special Counsel shall provide any manuals or policies describing Special Counsel’s billing practices.

Exhibit D

California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority
Mandatory Case Reporting Policy
Pursuant to Section VII (Conditions) of the Memorandum of Coverage, the following rule is applicable to all cases reported to CJPRMA.
The Authority shall be entitled to complete access to the covered part y’s claim file, the defense attorney’s complete file, and all investigation material and reports, including all evaluations and information on negotiations. The covered party shall be responsible to report the progress of the litigation and any significant developments at least quarterly to the Authority, and to provide the Authority with simultaneous copies of all correspondence provided to the covered party by its defense attorneys and/or its agents.
In addition, the CJPRMA Board of Directors has adopted the following mandatory case reporting standards:
1) Defense counsel is expected to provide a written analysis of liability and exposure in any reported claim no later than ninety days following receipt of the file from the memb er agency. CJPRMA understands t hat the liability picture may develop as discovery is ongoing, but this does not excuse the responsibility of providing an early, objective analysis of the file, subject to later developments. An early analysis not only permits the JPA member to set an accurate reserve level, but also permits the member entity to decide whether to actively litigate the case, try to settle the case, or limit discovery based upon the exposure.
2) The initial status report should provide, at a minimum, a brief synopsis of the facts giving rise to the lawsuit; the status of the pleadings, including any discussions of demurrers or motions to dismiss, or cross-complaints; a summary and analysis of plaintiff’s injuries, damages and exposures in the case; an initial impression of liabi lity; any requests for additional investigation; a brief outline of the discovery planned; and an evaluation of anticipated litigation costs. The report need not be lengthy, and typically might not exceed three to five pages, but must address the issues directly and in a straightforward manner so that the member entity and CJPRMA can set cost and loss reserves as necessary. 3) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, the setting of a trial date, settlement conference date, hearing date on motion for summary judgment or similar dispositive motion in any litigated case, within one week of the date on which a court establishes such date.
4) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, all settlement demands or offe rs within one week of the time the offer is made or the demand is received. 101
Exhibit D
17 DocID #14881v1
5) Defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, on the substance of all depositions taken in the case. This need not be a multi -page deposition summary, but must, at a minimum, include a concise report of major events occurring at the deposition, and an evaluation of the effect of the deposition testimony on the case. 6) Finally, no later than sixty days before the date set for trial in any case, defense counsel is responsible to report, in writing, on (1) an assessment of liability in the case, (2) the adverse potential exposure if liability is found, (3) a concise summary of injuries sustained and/or claims, (4) an assessment of any other factors (such as local jury tendencies, appearance of important witnesses, etc.) that may affect the liability analysis or exposure assessment, and (5) an opinion on the settlement value of the case. 7) All status reports from defense counsel must be copied to the CJPRMA Board member whose entity is involved in the claim.
This policy is designed to protect the member entit y and CJPRMA, so that they can make informed litigation decisions on reported cases. Past experience has shown that defense counsel retained by the member entities of CJPRMA are high-caliber, hard working attorneys who have done very well for their clients, and CJPRMA is grateful for their efforts. Defense counsel are cautioned, however, that case reporting is given a high priority by CJPRMA and its members, and is a major consideration in evaluating counsel’s performance.

LITIGATION GUIDELINES
The following guidelines should be followed when the scope of work includes representing the City in litigation:
a. The Special Counsel shall consult the City Attorney regarding the component parts of litigation handled so that the City Attorney, in consultation with the City Council, if necessary, can determine whether a particular activity is reasonable in light of its costs and benefits.
b. The City Attorney must approve the identity and number of staff assigned to the litigation, and any changes.
c. All pleadings shall be submitted to the City Attorney for review prior to filing. d. Copies of major work product, pleadings, motions, orders, decisions, research memoranda, reports on significant developments, and quarterly status reports shall be submitted to keep the City Attorney advised of any major developments in the lawsuit.
Such copies shall be provided in electronic format compatible with software in the City Attorney’s office.
e. Generally, the City Attorney will rely upon Special Counsel for guidance on litigation strategy. Nonetheless, prior approval from the City Attorney is necessary for demurrers, motions for summary judgment and discovery motions.
f. City expects that Special Counsel will resolve all discovery disputes without court intervention. If this is impossible due to the conduct of others, please inform the City Attorney immediately. City’s intent is to have discovery be fair and open with the money spent on reviewing relevant items that are discovered, not on discovery battles. g. Provide full descriptions of legal tasks performed. This will help the City Attorney follow case development and understand Firm’s strategy. h. Some types of litigation-related expenses require prior approval by the City Attorney, including, but not limited to, experts and investigators. Expenses over a certain dollar amount always require prior approval. See Section III (Reimbursements) of Exhibit B (Billing Protocols and Guidelines) of this Agreement for a list of those expenses that may be reimbursed.

ACTION:
Click or tap here to enter text.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
In recent months, the City has received numerous
complaints regarding the increased number of smoke
shops and tobacco retailers throughout the City. City
investigation shows that many retailers are operating
without a required tobacco retailers license. Additionally, those with licenses were found to have violations related to the requirements of the tobacco retailer license. It is recommended to adopt an interim urgency ordinance,
which will establish a temporary moratorium on all new
tobacco retailers and provide time for staff to study and engage the public in the establishment of a conditional use permit process for tobacco retailers to minimize any potential off-site impacts from these uses. In effect, this urgency ordinance will protect the public health, safety, and welfare of residents from immediate threats
presented by these uses.
AGENDA
REPORT
154
April 2, 2024
RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT an urgency ordinance placing a temporary 45- day moratorium on the issuance of any new permit,
license, or other entitlement for any new tobacco retailer in the City of Richmond - (Mayor Martinez 510-620-
6503/Vice Mayor Jimenez 510-620-6565/Councilmember
Willis 510-412-2050 ).
DISCUSSION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an urgency interim ordinance adopting a moratorium on the issuance of any new permit, license, or other entitlement for any new tobacco retailer in the City of Richmond.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
California Business and Professions Code Section 22971.3 authorizes cities to implement local tobacco licensing laws. Consistent with state law, the City of Richmond (City) regulates the sale of tobacco products and tobacco paraphernalia through the issuance of a special business license, as set forth in Richmond Municipal Code (RMC) Chapter 7.106. Chapter 7.106 was adopted in 2009 and modified in 2013, “to impose a licensing requirement on tobacco retailers” (RMC § 7.106.010).
Currently, the City has 78 licensed tobacco retailers, which were issued licenses mostly by the Richmond Police Department’s former Regulatory Unit and most recently by Community Development’s Code Enforcement Division. These licenses must be renewed annually and are subject to suspension or revocation for violations of state and local laws related to tobacco sales and distribution. In addition to special licensing for tobacco retailers, the City does not allow smoke shops in the City; however, complaints have been received that some have been established within the City.
Smoke shops currently operating with a tobacco retailer’s license have not been required to obtain a conditional use permit (CUP), as business license issuance is not tied to zoning (or building) code compliance.
In 2011, the City also adopted an ordinance that regulates smoking in certain areas (RMC Chapters 9.56 and 9.57). Among other regulations, RMC Chapters 9.56 and 9.57 prohibit smoking within multi-family housing and within 300 feet of a school or other youth-oriented facility. Tobacco regulations are generally enforced by the Code Enforcement Unit. The Planning Division enforces the licensing and land use components of tobacco businesses within the City.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
The City has a substantial interest in promoting compliance with federal, state, and local laws intended to regulate tobacco sales and use; in discouraging the illegal purchase of tobacco products by minors; in promoting compliance with laws prohibiting sales of 155
April 2, 2024
cigarettes and tobacco products to minors; and, in protecting children from being lured into illegal activity through the misconduct of adults. In recent years, the introduction of vaping and smoking of non-tobacco products, identified by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as harmful, has created a market for smoking products not currently captured by tobacco sales regulations in the RMC. Recently strengthened regulations in other cities put Richmond in a position to be an attractive market for tobacco and vape retailers.
In recent months, the City has received numerous complaints regarding new smoke shops and tobacco retailers throughout the City. It is recommended that the City Council consider establishing a temporary moratorium on approval of new tobacco retailer licenses to address revising the definitions of tobacco products to expressly include vape products and vapor smoking devices; increasing penalties for violations of local laws; reviewing licensing fees and licensee restrictions; and, studying whether development of a CUP process for tobacco retailers will be effective within the City.
Subject to the City Council’s direction, City staff are directed to develop an ordinance addressing these points and any others provided by the City Council on the hearing of this item.
A proposed urgency ordinance is provided for the City Council’s consideration of imposing the temporary moratorium. No new permit, license, or other entitlement for any new smoking lounge, smoke shop, or tobacco retailer within the City would be allowed during the moratorium. Existing tobacco retailers would be permitted to apply for renewals of licenses, which would be subject to approval or denial under existing standards. The City would also reserve the right to suspend or revoke any existing permit, license, or entitlement of tobacco-related businesses under existing standards.
The proposed urgency ordinance would require a vote of at least four-fifths of the City Council to pass. If the ordinance is adopted, the moratorium will be in effect for 45 days.
Following a noticed public hearing, the City Council may extend the moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days, and could subsequently extend it for another year.
Unless otherwise directed by the City Council, and assuming the City Council adopts the proposed moratorium, City staff are requested to return to the City Council within the 45-day period to seek an extension of the moratorium. (Gov. Code § 65858.)
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This proposed ordinance is intended to preserve the status quo while the City considers further regulations on tobacco sales and distribution. The ordinance will not cause a direct physical change in the environment, nor a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. This action, therefore, does not constitute the approval of a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it is exempt from CEQA. (Pub. Res. Code § 21065, CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c),(2)(3); 15061(b)(3); 15064(d)(3); 15378(a).)

April 2, 2024
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could decide not to adopt a moratorium at this time and may direct staff to continue work on possible amendments to City codes while processing new tobacco retailer license applications and renewals. This could result in immediate adverse impacts on the public health, safety, and welfare, such as tobacco and vape retailers that close in other cities and relocated to Richmond during the period required to develop and propose stronger regulations, some of which may locate in areas frequented by youth such as near schools or after school programs.

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE, PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858, BY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY

DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
WHEREAS, the City has seen a proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses within the City;
WHEREAS, the City is concerned about this recent proliferation of tobacco retailer businesses, locations of tobacco retailer businesses, and the harmful effects of tobacco on the health, safety, and welfare of City residents and especially youth; WHEREAS, the City has no specific regulations for tobacco retailer businesses aimed at protecting minors, such as a distance requirement from schools and/or youth-oriented areas; WHEREAS, this temporary moratorium will provide staff with the opportunity to study various options to regulate tobacco retailer businesses; and, WHEREAS, Government Code section 65858 provides that to protect against any current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, the City Council may adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in con flict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City plans to study.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Richmond does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: That the above recitals are true and correct and are adopted as the City Council’s findings.

A. Smoking and use of tobacco products, particularly by persons under eighteen years of age (“minors”), poses a significant health hazard to the user and persons in proximity to the user, including, without limitation, nicotine addiction, disease, and premature death.
B. The City of Richmond has a significant interest in discouraging tobacco use by minors and discouraging the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors, including vape pens and devices, e-cigarettes, and flavored tobacco products.
158
C. The City has a significant interest in preserving the health, safety, and welfare of its residents, and in particular its minor residents, in considering enactment of additional regulations on the sale and distribution of tobacco products.
D. There is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare with respect to the sale and distribution of tobacco products within the City, including access to such products by minors, and the approval of additional permits, licenses, an d/or any other entitlement for new tobacco retailers would result in a further threat to public health, safety, or welfare.
E. This urgency ordinance is necessary to promote the immediate preservation of the peace, health, and safety of the public agains t the potential detrimental health impacts of tobacco smoking, particularly as concerns minors, in order to allow the City an opportunity to study this issue and develop and adopt additional appropriate regulations for the sale and distribution of tobacco products.
Section 4: Environmental Review/California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
This ordinance is intended to preserve the status quo, and it will not cause a direct physical change in the environment, nor a reasonably foreseeable indirect physic al change in the environment.

FROM:
Charles Gerard, Port Director
Bisa French, Chief of Police
Subject:
Second Contract Amendment with Flock Group, Inc. to
Add Additional Cameras at the Point Potrero Marine
Terminal.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed $39,300 expenditure is included within fiscal year 2023-2024 budget – account string 40161080- 400539.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
February 28, 2023, November 7, 2023
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
Based on budget appropriation and approval by City
Council, the Port, in collaboration with Richmond Police Department, is proposing a second contract amendment
with Flock Group, Inc. to provide cameras at the Point
Potrero Marine Terminal.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a second contract amendment with Flock Group, Inc. in the amount of $39,300, for a new total
contract amount not to exceed $1,037,400, for additional cameras to be installed at the Point Potrero Marine
Terminal, for the term ending February 28, 2026 – Police Department/Port of Richmond (Charles Gerard 510-829-
2253/Chief Bisa French 510-621-1802/).
AGENDA
REPORT
162
April 2, 2024
DISCUSSION:
On October 18, 2022, the Richmond Police Department (RPD) issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) seeking quotes from qualified professionals to install approximately 30 stationary Automated License Plate Reader (“ALPR”) camera systems at strategic locations within the City of Richmond. Seven-hundred and ten (710) vendors were notified, and four (4) submitted proposals before the deadline of December 9, 2022.
Two (2) of the bids received did not meet the RFP requirements (one submitted a letter of intent, and the other was above the budgeted amount of $100,000/year). RPD staff met with the two remaining vendors, Flock Group, Inc., and Utility Associates. After thorough research, discussion, and reference checks, the evaluation committee scored Flock Group, Inc. 295 points out of 300. The evaluation committee scored Utility Associates 185 out of a possible 300 points. On February 28, 2023, the Richmond City Council unanimously authorized the approval of a three-year agreement with Flock Group, Inc. On November 7, 2023, City Council authorized a first contract amendment with Flock Group, Inc. to install additional cameras throughout the City.
The City and Surplus Property Authority now seek approval for a second amendment with Flock Group, Inc. to install six additional cameras at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal to prevent side shows, vandalism, and illicit activity. The Point Potrero Marine Terminal is owned by the Surplus Property Authority, which is why this item is being approved by both the City Council and Commissioners of the Surplus Property Authority (composed of the Richmond Mayor and City Councilmembers). The Port will pay for this contract amendment even though the original agreement and amendment were funded through the Police Department budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
As this is maintenance work, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

This provision shall survive the termination of this Contract for one (1) year.
15. Indemnification.
(a) If this Contract is a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) and Contractor is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of, or pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of the City. 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 DocuSign Envelope ID: 6F73EEB9-F443-4063-9066-16C648E8F4AB 174
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.

2.8 Installation Services.
2.8.1 Designated Locations. For installation of Flock Hardware, excluding Falcon Flex products, prior to performing the physical installation of the Flock Hardware, Flock shall advise Agency on the location and positioning of the Flock Hardware for optimal license plate image capture, as conditions and location allow. Flock may consider input from Agency regarding location, position and angle of the Flock Hardware (“ Designated Location”) and collaborate with Agency to design the Deployment Plan confirming the Designated Locations.

2.8.2 Agency Installation Obligations. Agency agrees to allow Flock and its agents reasonable access in and near the Designated Locations at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the purpose of performing the installation work. Although Flock Hardware is designed to utilize solar power, certain Designated Locations may require a reliable source of 120V or 240V AC power. In the event adequate solar power is not available, Agency is solely responsible for costs associated with providing a reliable source of 120V or 240V AC power to Flock Hardware. Flock will provide solar options to supply power at each Designated Location. If Agency refuses recommended solar options, Agency waives any reimbursement, tolling, or credit for any suspension period of Flock Services due to low solar power. Additionally, Agency is solely responsible for (i) any permits or associated costs, and managing the permitting process of installation of cameras or AC power; (ii) any federal, state, or local taxes including property, license, privilege, sales, use, excise, gross receipts, or other similar taxes which may now or hereafter become applicable to, measured by or imposed upon or with respect to the installation of the Flock Hardware, its use (excluding tax exempt entities), or (iii) any other supplementary cost for services performed in connection with installation of the Flock Hardware, including but not limited to contractor licensing, engineered drawings, rental of specialized equipment, or vehicles, third-party personnel (i.e. Traffic Control Officers, Electricians, State DOT-approved poles, etc., if necessary), such costs to be approved by the Agency (“ Agency Installation Obligations”). In the event that a Designated Location for Flock Hardware requires permits, Flock may provide the Agency with a temporary alternate location for installation pending the permitting process. Once the required permits are obtained, Flock will relocate the Flock Hardware from the temporary alternate location to the permitted location at no additional cost. Without being obligated or taking any responsibility for the foregoing, Flock may pay and invoice related costs to Agency if Agency did not address them prior to the execution of this Agreement or a third party requires Flock to pay. Agency represents and warrants that it has, or shall lawfully obtain, all necessary right title and authority and hereby authorizes Flock to install the Flock Hardware at the Designated Locations and to make any necessary inspections or tests in connection with such ins tallation.
2.8.3 Flock’s Obligations. Installation of Flock Hardware shall be installed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with Flock’s standard installation procedures, and the installation will be completed within a reasonable time from the time that the Designated Locations are confirmed. Upon removal of Flock Hardware, Flock shall restore the location to its original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Following the initial installation of the Flock Hardware and any subsequent Reinstalls or maintenance operations, Flock’s obligation to perform installation work shall cease; however, for the sole purpose of validating installation, Flock will continue to monitor the performance of Flock Hardware for the length of the Term and will receive access to the Footage for a period of seven (7) business days after the initial installation for quality control and provide any necessary maintenance. Labor may be provided by Flock or a third-party. Flock is not obligated to install, reinstall, or provide p hysical maintenance to Agency Hardware. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Agency understands that Flock will not provide installation services for Falcon Flex products.
2.8.4 Ownership of Hardware. Flock Hardware shall remain the personal property of Flock and will be removed upon the natural expiration of this Agreement at no additional cost to Agency. Agency shall not perform any acts which would interfere with the retention of title of the Flock Hardware by Flock. Should Agency default on any DocuSign Envelope ID: 6F73EEB9-F443-4063-9066-16C648E8F4AB 197
payment of the Flock Services, Flock may remove Flock Hardware at Flock’s discretion. Such removal, if made by Flock, shall not be deemed a waiver of Flock’s rights to any damages Flock may sustain as a result of Agency’s default and Flock shall have the right to enforce any other legal remedy or right.
2.9 Hazardous Conditions. Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, Flock’s price for its services under this Agreement does not contemplate work in any areas that contain hazardous materials, or other hazar dous conditions, including, without limit, asbestos, lead, toxic or flammable substances. In the event any such hazardous materials are discovered in the designated locations in which Flock is to perform services under this Agreement, Flock shall have the right to cease work immediately in the area affected until such materials are removed or rendered harmless.
2.10 Support Services. Subject to the payment of fees, Flock shall monitor the performance and functionality of Flock Services and may, from time to time, advise Agency on changes to the Flock Services, Installation Services, or the Designated Locations which may improve the performance or functionality of the Services or may improve the quality of the Footage. The work, its timing, and the fees payable relating to such work shall be agreed by the Parties prior to any alterations to or changes of the Services or the Designated Locations (“ Monitoring Services”).
Flock will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to requests for support. Flock will provide Agency with reasonable technical and on-site support and maintenance services (“On-Site Services”) in-person or by email at [email protected], at no additional cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Agency is solely responsible for installation of Falcon Flex products. Agency further understands and agrees that Flock will not provide monitoring services or on-site services for Falcon Flex.
2.11 Special Terms. From time to time, Flock may offer certain special terms related to guarantees, service and support which are indicated in the proposal and on the Order Form and will become part of this Agreement, upon Agency’s prior written consent (“Special Terms”). To the extent that any terms of this Agreement are inconsistent or conflict with the Special Terms, the Special Terms shall control.
2.12 Upgrades to Platform. Flock may, in its sole discretion, make any upgrades to system or platform that it deems necessary or useful to (i) maintain or enhance (a) the quality or delivery of Flock’s products or services to its agencies, (b) the competitive strength of, or market for, Flock’s products or services, (c) such platform or system’s cost efficiency or performance, or (ii) to comply with applicable law. Parties understand that such upgrades are necessary from time to time and will not materially change any terms or conditions within this Agreement.
