As an alternative to City forms, the Vendor’s insurer may provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements affecting the coverage required by the City.
17. INDEMNIFICATION
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Vendor shall, at its own expense, indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City listed on the Standard Agreement for chemical requirements, (which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld), and hold harmless the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers ("Indemnities") from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, civil penalties and fines, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, claims expenses, attorney's fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, "Liability") of every nature, whether actual, alleged or threatened, arising out of or in connection with the negligent acts or omissions, or willful misconduct of the Vendor pursuant to the Standard Agreement or the Vendor’s failure to comply with any of the terms of the Standard Agreement. The Vendor shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnitee for the Indemnitee’s own negligence or willful misconduct.
The Vendor’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless under this provision shall not be excused because of the Vendor’s inability to evaluate Liability, or because the Vendor evaluates Liability and determines that the Vendor is not or may not be liable. The Vendor must respond within 30 calendar days to any tender for defense and indemnity by City, unless the time for responding has been extended by an authorized representative of the City in writing. If the Vendor fails to accept tender of defense and indemnity within 30 calendar days, in addition to any other remedies authorized by law, so much of the money due or that may become due the Vendor under the Standard Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the matter subject to tender, or until the Vendor accepts the tender, whichever occurs first.
The Vendor waives any and all rights to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees concerning any Liability of the Vendor arising out of or in connection with the
furnishing of chemicals by the Vendor pursuant to the Standard Agreement or the Vendor’s failure to comply with any of the terms of the Standard Agreement.
18. This Agreement, including all attachments, contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes whatever oral or written understanding they may have had prior to the execution of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except by a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.
19. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by the law of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law rules. Litigation arising out of or connected with this Agreement shall be instituted and maintained in the courts of Solano County in the State of California or in the United States District Court, Eastern District of California, Sacramento, California, and the parties consent to jurisdiction over their person and over the subject matter of any such litigation in such courts, and consent to service of process issued by such courts.

COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE BROAD FORM
ENDORSEMENT
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
BUSINESS AUTO COVERAGE FORM
To the extent that the provisions of this endorsement provide broader benefits to the "insured" than other provisions of the Coverage Form, the provisions of this endorsement apply.
1. BROAD FORM INSURED
Paragraph .1. - WHO IS AN INSURED - of
Section II - Liability Coverage is amended to
add the following:
d. Subsidiaries and Newly Acquired or
Formed Organizations
The Named Insured shown in the
Declarations is amended to include:
(1) Any legal business entity other than a
partnership or joint venture, formed as a
subsidiary in which you have an
ownership interest of more than 50% on
the effective date of the Coverage Form.
However, the Named Insured does not
include any subsidiary that is an
"insured" under any other automobile
policy or would be an "insured" under
such a policy but for its termination or
the exhaustion of its Limit of Insurance.
(2) Any organization that is acquired or
formed by you and over which you
maintain majority ownership. However,
the Named Insured does not include any
newly formed or acquired organization:
(a) That is a partnership or joint
venture,
(b) That is an "insured" under any other
policy,
(c) That has exhausted its Limit of
Insurance under any other policy, or
(d) 180 days or more after its
acquisition or formation by you,
unless you have given us notice of
the acquisition or formation.
Coverage does not apply to "bodily
injury" or "property damage" that results
from an "accident" that occurred before
you formed or acquired the organization.
e. Employees as Insureds
(1). Any "employee" of yours while using a
covered "auto" you don't own, hire or
borrow in your business or your
personal affairs.
f. Lessors as Insureds
(1). The lessor of a covered "auto" while the
"auto" is leased to you under a written
agreement if:
(a) The agreement requires you to
provide direct primary insurance for
the lessor and
(b) The "auto" is leased without a
driver.
Such a leased "auto" will be considered a
covered "auto" you own and not a covered
"auto" you hire.
g. Additional Insured if Required by Contract
(1) When you have agreed, in a written
contract or written agreement, that a
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your business auto
policy, such person or organization is an
"insured", but only to the extent such
person or organization is liable for
"bodily injury" or "property damage"
caused by the conduct of an "insured"
under paragraphs a. or b. of Who Is An
Insured with regard to the ownership,
maintenance or use of a covered "auto."
The insurance afforded to any such
additional insured applies only if the
"bodily injury" or "property damage"
occurs:
(a) During the policy period, and
(b) Subsequent to the execution of such
written contract, and
(c) Prior to the expiration of the period
of time that the written contract
requires such insurance be provided
to the additional insured.
(2) How Limits Apply
If you have agreed in a written contract
or written agreement that another
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your policy, the
most we will pay on behalf of such
additional insured is the lesser of:
(a) The limits of insurance specified in
the written contract or written
agreement; or
(b) The Limits of Insurance shown in
the Declarations.
Such amount shall be a part of and not
in addition to Limits of Insurance shown
in the Declarations and described in this
Section.
(3) Additional Insureds Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this
Coverage Part that may also be covered
by other insurance available to an
additional insured, such additional
insured must submit such claim or "suit"
to the other insurer for defense and
indemnity.
However, this provision does not apply
to the extent that you have agreed in a
written contract or written agreement
that this insurance is primary and noncontributory with the additional insured's own insurance.
(4) Duties in The Event Of Accident, Claim,
Suit or Loss
If you have agreed in a written contract
or written agreement that another
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your policy, the
additional insured shall be required to
comply with the provisions in LOSS
CONDITIONS 2. - DUTIES IN THE
EVENT OF ACCIDENT, CLAIM , SUIT
OR LOSS – OF SECTION IV –
BUSINESS AUTO CONDITIONS, in the
same manner as the Named Insured.
2. Primary and Non-Contributory if
Required by Contract
Only with respect to insurance provided to
an additional insured in A.1.g. - Additional
Insured If Required by Contract, the
following provisions apply:
(1) Primary Insurance When Required By
Contract
This insurance is primary if you have
agreed in a written contract or written
agreement that this insurance be
primary. If other insurance is also
primary, we will share with all that other
insurance by the method described in
Other Insurance 5.d.
(2} Primary And Non-Contributory To Other
Insurance When Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written contract
or written agreement that this insurance
is primary and non-contributory with the
additional insured's own insurance, this
insurance is primary and we will not
seek contribution from that other
insurance.
Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other
insurance to which the additional insured
has been added as an additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will have
no duty to defend the insured against any
"suit" if any other insurer has a duty to
defend the insured against that "suit". If no
other insurer defends, we will undertake to
do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's
rights against all those other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of the
amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the
sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and selfinsured amounts under all that other insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, by
the method described in SECTION IVBusiness Auto Conditions, B. General Conditions, Other Insurance 5.d.
3. AUTOS RENTED BY EMPLOYEES
Any "auto" hired or rented by your "employee"
on your behalf and at your direction will be
considered an "auto" you hire.
The SECTION IV- Business Auto Conditions, B.
General Conditions, 5. OTHER INSURANCE
Condition is amended by adding the following:
e. If an "employee’s" personal insurance also
applies on an excess basis to a covered
"auto" hired or rented by your "employee" on
your behalf and at your direction, this
insurance will be primary to the
"employee’s" personal insurance.
Form HA 99 16 12 21 Page 3 of 5
4. AMENDED FELLOW EMPLOYEE EXCLUSION
EXCLUSION 5. - FELLOW EMPLOYEE - of
SECTION II - LIABILITY COVERAGE does not
apply if you have workers' compensation
insurance in-force covering all of your
"employees".
Coverage is excess over any other collectible
insurance.
5. HIRED AUTO PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGE
If hired "autos" are covered "autos" for Liability
Coverage and if Comprehensive, Specified
Causes of Loss, or Collision coverages are
provided under this Coverage Form for any
"auto" you own, then the Physical Damage
Coverages provided are extended to "autos" you
hire or borrow, subject to the following limit.
The most we will pay for "loss" to any hired
"auto" is:
(1) $100,000;
(2) The actual cash value of the damaged or
stolen property at the time of the "loss"; or
(3) The cost of repairing or replacing the
damaged or stolen property,
whichever is smallest, minus a deductible. The
deductible will be equal to the largest deductible
applicable to any owned "auto" for that
coverage. No deductible applies to "loss"
caused by fire or lightning. Hired Auto Physical
Damage coverage is excess over any other
collectible insurance. Subject to the above limit,
deductible and excess provisions, we will
provide coverage equal to the broadest
coverage applicable to any covered "auto" you
own.
We will also cover loss of use of the hired "auto"
if it results from an "accident", you are legally
liable and the lessor incurs an actual financial
loss, subject to a maximum of $1000 per
"accident".
This extension of coverage does not apply to
any "auto" you hire or borrow from any of your
"employees", partners (if you are a partnership),
members (if you are a limited liability company),
or members of their households.

limit of $50 per day and a maximum limit of
$1,000.
7. LOAN/LEASE GAP COVERAGE
Under SECTION III - PHYSICAL DAMAGE
COVERAGE, in the event of a total "loss" to a
covered "auto", we will pay your additional legal
obligation for any difference between the actual
cash value of the "auto" at the time of the "loss"
and the "outstanding balance" of the loan/lease.
"Outstanding balance" means the amount you
owe on the loan/lease at the time of "loss" less
any amounts representing taxes; overdue
payments; penalties, interest or charges
resulting from overdue payments; additional
mileage charges; excess wear and tear charges;
lease termination fees; security deposits not
returned by the lessor; costs for extended
warranties, credit life Insurance, health, accident
or disability insurance purchased with the loan
or lease; and carry-over balances from previous
loans or leases.

reproduces, receives or transmits audio,
visual or data signals which, at the time of
"loss", is:
(1) Permanently installed in or upon the
covered "auto" in a housing, opening or
other location that is not normally used
by the "auto" manufacturer for the
installation of such equipment;
(2) Removable from a permanently installed
housing unit as described in Paragraph
2.a. above or is an integral part of that
equipment; or
(3) An integral part of such equipment.
c. For each covered "auto", should loss be
limited to electronic equipment only, our
obligation to pay for, repair, return or replace
damaged or stolen electronic equipment will
be reduced by the applicable deductible
shown in the Declarations, or $250,
whichever deductible is less.
10. EXTRA EXPENSE - BROADENED

Coverage Form is the smaller (or smallest)
deductible, it will be waived;

5. Vendor has obtained or agrees to apply, prior to performance under this Agreement, to City’s Finance Department for a business license, pay the applicable business license tax and maintain said business license during the term of this Agreement.

Subject: Municipal Liquid Caustic Soda Tariff Recovery – US Western Region To Our Valued Municipal Customers,
On Wednesday April 2, 2025 via an Executive Order signed by the President, the United States Government announced 10% import tariffs across all imported goods effective Saturday April 5, 2025. Higher, targeted tariffs were levied against goods imported from specific countries (including all countries exporting caustic soda) and set to be enforced effective Wednesday April 9, 2025. Targeted tariff implementation was subsequently “paused” until July 9, 2025 but 10% tariffs remain in place for imported caustic soda from any source other than Canada and Mexico. Tariffs are a tax borne by the importer and as an importer of liquid caustic soda, Univar Solutions cannot continue to secure supply for our customers while absorbing these costs.
As a result, Univar Solutions will begin passing along the costs associated with tariffs for Liquid Caustic Soda (sodium hydroxide solutions) effective May 1, 2025.
It should be noted:
• The start date for tariff recovery will be the same for all contracted municipalities. • The tariff recovery fee will be a firm amount in US$/dst (converted to other units of measure as appropriate) and updated monthly.
• The tariff recovery fee will apply to all grades and assays (such as 50%, 30%, 25%, 20%, etc.) of liquid caustic soda.
• The tariff recovery fee will be added as an additional line item on sales invoices. • Should the US Government cease the enforcement of import tariffs for liquid caustic soda, Univar Solutions shall provide written notice to all contracted municipalities indicating the end date for tariff recovery.
Your Univar Solutions Focused Water Manager or Municipal Specialist listed below can discuss the specific impact of the tariff recovery and answer any other questions you might have. As always, we appreciate your business, and your confidence to make Univar Solutions your caustic soda supplier of choice.
Sincerely,
Tom Edman

Subject: Liquid Caustic Soda Tariff Explainer
Unfortunately, one thing governments excel at is waging wars (literal and figurative ones). The ammunition of choice for modern trade wars is the tariff. Let’s lay out US caustic trade flows and explain potential tariff impacts on the US caustic soda market.
A tariff is a tax one country levies on the goods of another country. Import tariffs are ultimately paid by the consumers of the importing country. There are two interesting things to note about the US caustic soda market that set the stage for the impact of tariffs.
First point- the US is a net exporter of caustic soda. There is far more caustic leaving the US Gulf Coast in big ships than landing on the US East and West Coasts. General volumes based on published import/export stats are:
