Service Provider shall not commence work on the services to be performed until (i) Service Provider furnishes proof of insurance as required by paragraph 9 below, and (ii) City gives written authorization to proceed with the work provided by City’s Project Manager.

7. NO ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement is not assignable by Service Provider without City's prior consent in writing.

8. HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNITY
(a) Hold Harmless for Service Provider's Damages. Service Provider holds City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers, harmless from all of Service Provider's claims, demands, lawsuits, judgments, damages, losses, injuries or liability to Service Provider, to Service Provider's employees, to Service Provider’s contractors or subcontractors, or to the owners of Service Provider's firm, which damages, losses, injuries or liability occur during the work or services required under this Agreement, or performance of any activity or work required under this Agreement.
(b) Defense and Indemnity of Third Party Claims/Liability. Service Provider shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by City, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers from and against all liability including, but not limited to, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Service Provider’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in the Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of City. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Service Provider, or should City otherwise find Service Provider’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Service Provider shall reimburse City its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. Service Provider shall promptly pay City any final judgment rendered against City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of Service Provider’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Service Provider’s obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Agreement, Service Provider shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Service Provider will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.
(c) Nonwaiver. City does not waive, nor shall be deemed to have waived, any indemnity, defense or hold harmless rights under this section because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any insurance certificates or policies described in Section 9.

9. MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Without limiting Service Provider’s indemnification of City, and prior to commencement of Work, Service Provider shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, and any extension thereof, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below in a form that is satisfactory to City.

Coverage shall be at least as broad as:

Service Provider shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers for all work performed by Service Provider, its employees, agents and subcontractors.

If Service Provider maintains higher limits than the minimum shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by Service Provider. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.

Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

Additional Insured Status
City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of Service Provider including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to Service Provider’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10 10 01 and CG 20 37 10 01 if a later edition is used). The provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies. In addition, Service Provider shall ensure that the automobile liability policy contains a provision covering City as an additional insured, and shall obtain an endorsement to that effect if it does not.

Excess Insurance
The limits of insurance required in this agreement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Umbrella or excess policies shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for underlying coverages and covering those insured in the underlying policies. Coverage shall be “pay on behalf” with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross-liability exclusion of claims or suits by one insured against the other. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City as required in written contract or agreement before City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

City’s Rights of Enforcement
In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is cancelled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Service Provider, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Service Provider’s payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.

City’s Right to Revise Specifications
City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Service Provider ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Service Provider, City and Service Provider may renegotiate Service Provider's compensation.

Primary and Non-Contributory Coverage
For any claims related to this Agreement, Service Provider's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees or volunteers shall be excess of Service Provider's insurance and shall not contribute with it and be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 13.

Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to City.

Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City may require Service Provider to provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.

Acceptability of Insurers
All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California, with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, (unless otherwise acceptable to City).

Waiver of Subrogation
All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected officials, officers, agents, employees or volunteers or shall specifically allow Service Provider, or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications, to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Service Provider hereby waives his own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors. Copies of these waivers shall be submitted to City prior to commencement of work.

Claims Made Policies
If any of the required policies provided coverage on a claims-made basis:
(a). The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of the Agreement or the beginning of contract work.
(b). Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the work required under this Agreement.
(c). If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the Agreement effective date, Service Provider must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of Agreement work.

Verification of Coverage
Service Provider shall provide City with copies of certificates (on City certificate form or an Accord form as modified per City direction) for all policies, with the appropriate named additional insured coverage and an endorsement that they are not subject to cancellation without 30 days prior written notice to City. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive Service Provider's obligation to provide them. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.

Subcontractors
Service Provider shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Service Provider shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors.

coverage, subcontractors shall provide coverage with a form at least as broad as CG 20 38 04 13.

10. RELATION OF THE PARTIES
(a) Service Provider is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly independent contractor. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of Service Provider shall at all times be under Service Provider's exclusive direction and control. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers shall have control over the conduct of Service Provider or any of Service Provider's officers, employees, or agents except as set forth in this Agreement. Service Provider shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees or agents are in any manner officers, employees or agents of the City. Service Provider shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation or liability whatever against City, or bind City in any manner.
(b) No employee benefits shall be available to Service Provider in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Service Provider as provided in the Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Service Provider for performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or indemnification to Service Provider for injury or sickness arising out of performing services hereunder.

11. TERMINATION BY CITY
City may terminate any portion or all of the services agreed to be performed under this Agreement by notifying Service Provider in writing 30 calendar days prior to any termination.

All compensation for actual work performed and charges outstanding at the time of termination shall be payable by City to Service Provider within 30 days following submission of a final statement by Service Provider.

12. CORRECTIONS

13. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT CONSTITUTES RELEASE
The acceptance by Service Provider of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Service Provider for anything done, furnished or relating to Service Provider's work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of City's check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within five (5) calendar days of the receipt of that check, whichever occurs first. However, any approval or payment by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of Service Provider, its employees, subcontractors, agents and consultants for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Service Provider, its employees, subcontractors, agents and consultants.

14. WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
Failure by a party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to demand strict compliance by such other party in the future. No waiver by a party of a default or breach of the other party shall be effective or binding upon such party unless made in writing by such party, and no such waiver shall be implied from any omissions by a party to take any action with respect to such default or breach. No express written waiver of a specified default or breach shall affect any other default or breach, or cover any other period of time, other than any default or breach and/or period of time specified.

15. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Service Provider is unaware of any City employee or official that has a financial interest in Service Provider's business. During the term of this Agreement and/or as a result of being awarded this Agreement, Service Provider shall not offer, encourage or accept any financial interest in Service Provider's business by any City employee or official. If a portion of Service Provider's services called for under this Agreement shall ultimately be paid for by reimbursement from and through an agreement with a developer of any land within City or with a City franchisee, Service Provider warrants that it has not performed any work for such developer/franchisee within the last 12 months, and shall not negotiate, offer or accept any contract or request to perform services for that identified developer/franchisee during the term of this Agreement.

Payments due and payable to Service Provider for current services are within the current budget and within an available, unexhausted and unencumbered appropriation of City funds.
