The artist has included an abstract depiction of the Fort at the lower portion of the composition. The sun at the top has rays that mimic patterning from examples of local Native American basketry. The purple mountains emphasize the size and significance of our Sierra Nevada, while the abstract foothills and lake represent the area surrounding Lake Kaweah and its divergence in to four creeks.

The side borders are comprised of oak leaves, showing the importance of our local trees.

The mural is a colorful abstraction of many of the elements that have allowed for our community to develop and grow. 3) What is the timetable to commence and complete the subject mural? Production of the mural is scheduled to begin in August/September of 2023 depending on the construction process and inclement weather.

The Mural is part of a concentrated effort to acknowledge the history and cultures upon which the apartment complex now exists
The mural will have the dimensions of 10' by 32'-4" (ten feet wide by thirty-two feet, four inches tall) The Mural will be completed with professional-grade, exterior latex paint, and will receive an anti graffiti coating over the finished work.

Production of the mural is scheduled to begin in August/September of 2023 depending on the construction process and inclement weather. The artist has proposed a 3 week production period The Arts Consortium is the acting Arts Council for Tulare County. We teamed up with Self Help Enterprises to promote this mural opportunity and received responses from as far as Philadelphia. Self-Help Enterprises is a nationally recognized community development organization whose mission is to work together with low-income families to build and sustain healthy homes and communities.

Eric Rodriguez provided the winning submission. He has produced murals in the Downtown Visalia area, namely on the doors of Game Core, which have been long lasting parts of our Downtown Visalia art-scape. His conceptualization of the union between land and cultures was an automatic favorite amongst a professionally diverse selection panel.

The artist's concept was focused on melding land, culture, and nourishment into a cohesive work. The artist successfully creates a visual reference to agriculture and local wilderness within the lower portions of the composition. The central portion of the work focuses on shapes that echo architecture found in the heart of Visalia such as the Darling Hotel and the Post Office on Acequia Ave. The left most part of the composition pays tribute to tribal patterning observed by the artist on ceremonial garb that has been associated with the previously prolific Mariposa Tribe (often referred to as Yokut). The topmost portion makes reference to an orange fruit that also doubles as a sun and gives the composition a visual and conceptual focal point. This mural will surely resonate with our community as something never before seen but also extremely familiar.

Self Help Enterprises will oversee the maintenance of the walls and the artist, Eric Rodriguez will retain "first right of refusal" for any touch-ups or repairs due to vandalism. The mural will be finished with a graffiti resistant coat.

MURAL GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION:

Murals are considered signs and, as such, are governed by the City’s sign ordinance found in Chapter 17.48 of the Visalia Municipal Code (“VMC”). Murals require the issuance of a permit from the City pursuant to VMC §17.48.030. Murals which are non-commercial, contain no advertising copy and which do not function as an advertisement are allowed, subject to review by the Mural Panel and final approval by the City Council (VMC §17.48.040(S).). These guidelines are provided to assist mural applicants through the process prior to presentation to City Council.

PURPOSE: To define the process used by groups or individuals (“applicants”) who desire to install murals in Visalia public places. The City of Visalia understands the importance of art in public places and the role that murals play in preserving our culture, conveying the history of our community, beautifying the city and advancing the arts. These guidelines will provide direction to applicants wishing to install murals in public places.

DEFINITIONS:
“Parks Commission” means the Visalia Parks and Recreation Commission which is responsible for City of Visalia Parks.
“Planning Commission” means that Visalia Planning Commission responsible for approving variances in the sign ordinance.
“Public places” means places within the City limits of Visalia, which are visible to the public.
“Commercial” means words or images used elsewhere in the marketplace for the purpose of promoting a particular business, product, service, cause, place or brand. “Commercial Element” means art that by virtue of its location or proximity to a business may serve a minimal commercial purpose. If that art were in a different location, it would be considered pure art and not commercial in nature. “Mural” means a sign as defined in VMC Chapter 17.48. It is also generally described as a picture or representation, in any type of medium, on an exterior surface of a building, structure, fence or garden wall.
“Mural Panel” means a group of individuals approved by the City Manager to review applications to place murals in public places prior to presentation to Council. Mural Panel will be comprised of one (1) representative from the Arts Consortium, one (1) representative from Arts Visalia, and one (1) representative appointed by the Mayor.

In all cases, the person appointed should have no involvement/conflict of interest with the mural under consideration. The representatives will be appointed by the Chair of these organizations and the Mayor upon the receipt of a Mural Application. 270
2 “Preliminary Approval” means the application has been accepted, found to be in good order and complete and the proposed mural is deemed appropriate by the mural panel.

GENERAL GUIDELINES:

1. The emphasis of the murals will be on “artistic expression” and must not include an advertisement or be commercial in nature. This will in no way limit or restrict the artist’s right to include speech and/or artistic expression in a mural that is not commercial as defined above. All murals must comply with City ordinances that prohibit indecency or obscenity in public.

2. Murals shall not contain copy, lettering, symbols or references directly to the promotion of any product, business, brand, organization, service, cause or place. Murals may contain limited commercial elements so long as they are not considered commercial speech with the purpose of promoting a commercial transaction. For those mural applications that may contain limited commercial elements, the Mural Panel will ask the question – “If the business on which the mural is located were to move, would the mural still be good quality art and something the community would want to remain?” If so, the mural is not considered commercial speech or advertisement but rather pure art.

3. Murals shall not be merely an extension or enlargement of a sign. If the theme of the mural is to promote a business, brand, organization, service, cause or place, it shall meet all requirements of the City of Visalia sign ordinance. If the proposed mural is determined to be commercial in nature and is therefore deemed by the Mural Panel to be a form of advertisement, the Mural Application will be referred to the City of Visalia Planning Department for a variance in the sign ordinance. That application will then follow their process for review and approval.

4. Not more than 1% of the mural will contain the name of a sponsor and/or sponsor product likeness. The artist’s signature shall not be more than 1% of the mural.

5. Temporary Murals will receive, as is reasonably practicable, expedited review by the Mural Panel. Temporary murals shall be required to comply with the provisions of these guidelines, and will be removed no later than one year after completed. After one year, if there is a desire for the mural to remain in place, the owner will resubmit a mural application and follow the standard process as outlined herein.

6. Mural artists will be required to demonstrate their ability and experience to create high quality, well designed and well executed murals and/or art. The artist must provide the Mural Panel a portfolio of work that is reflective of the style of the proposed mural. This will be used to help determine whether the artist will be able to uphold the standards for quality art within the City of Visalia. For those artists without a portfolio of work, the Mural Panel will consider other presented forms of art that demonstrate an ability to create a quality mural.
271
3 7. New murals erected without receiving proper approval and that did not go through the Mural Application and Approval Process, will be required to retroactively go through the Process. Property owners will have 30 days after receiving notification to submit a mural application after which the mural will be deemed a sign and subject to all permitting requirements of VMC 17.48. The retroactive mural applications will be required to comply with all Mural Guidelines and must receive City Council approval. Murals that fail to be approved will be removed within 30 days after the denial at the property owners expense.

APPLICATION AND APPROVAL PROCESS:

STEP 1: Muralist(s) must obtain an application from the Community Development Department office at 315 E. Acequia Ave. or online at www.visalia.city. The time required to process a mural application will vary but will be a maximum of 90 days from application submittal. The application will provide information to the City regarding location, size, concept and content of the mural, type of paint/media, owner of the building where the mural will be located, artist(s), dates of application, individuals who will be responsible for maintenance. The application must be signed by the individual/group proposing to place the mural, as well as the property owner where the mural will be placed and submitted to the City Manager or his/her designee along with a 1:12 scale [1”=1 ft.-0”] sketch, rendering or photo of the proposed mural.

STEP 2: The application and mural rendering must be reviewed and approved by the Mural Panel and the owner of the property where the mural is proposed to be placed. The review will be conducted to assure compliance with local ordinances and regulations, these guidelines, and the ability of the artist(s) proposing the mural to produce a quality mural. If the mural receives preliminary approval, it will move forward in the process.

Any mural that is to be installed in or on a community center or park, except Convention Center, must, in addition to review by the Mural Panel, be reviewed by the Parks Commission prior to submission to the Visalia City Council for final approval.

STEP 3: After receiving preliminary approval, the artist will then be required to provide for review their portfolio of work that is reflective of the proposed mural. The Mural Panel will use the portfolio of work to help determine whether the artist has the technical skill and ability to produce a quality mural within the City of Visalia. If the artist is unable to provide a portfolio of work, at a minimum, the artist will be required to provide evidence of artistic talent that satisfies the Mural Panel as to the skill and ability of the artist to create a mural that is of good quality.

STEP 4: After review and acceptance of the artist’s body of work, the Mural Panel will make a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the mural application which is the final approval step.
272
4 MURAL AGREEMENT:

Following approval by the Mural Panel, whether the mural will be placed on public or private property, the property owner and applicant(s) will be required to provide to the City Manager, or his/her designee, evidence of a proposed agreement which identifies the terms and conditions under which the mural will be applied. These terms and conditions include, but are not limited to:

A. Specifications regarding the mural (location, size, concept and content of the mural, type of paint/media);
B. Application for Encroachment Permit if necessary;
C. Identification of ownership of the mural image and use thereof; D. Expected timeframe for completion;

G. Proof of Liability Insurance;
H. Landscape removal and replacement or protection, if any; The proposed agreement will be provided to the Mural Panel and will be submitted to City Council along with the recommendation of the Mural Panel and, if necessary, the Park Commission.

APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL:

In the event the Mural Panel and/or the Park Commission determines the proposed mural does not comply with the parameters of these guidelines or other City ordinances and regulations, and therefore determines to withhold its approval, applicant(s) may apply for a variance as authorized by VMC section 17.48.040(P) and outlined in VMC section 17.48.110.

FINAL INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE:

The City reserves the right to inspect the mural during installation and upon completion to ensure that the final product is in compliance with the approved mural application. Should it be found that the mural is not in compliance, the artist and property owner will be notified and given 30 days to remedy the situation. Should the property owner and/or artist fail to make the necessary corrections, the mural will be deemed out of compliance and will be removed at the expense of the property owner and/or artist.

Department Recommendation:

Authorize the City Manager to enter into a purchase addendum to the Department’s existing five (5) year sole source contract with Motorola Solutions, to upgrade the Insight module, including associated maintenance costs, and Data Replication module for a total cost of $34,049 and appropriate $30,604 from the General Fund for FY 23/24.

Summary:

On July 18, 2022, City Council voted unanimously to authorize the City Manager to enter into a five (5) year maintenance contract with Motorola Solutions beginning July 1, 2021 and terminating June 30, 2026. The contract included service for the Department’s computer aided dispatch and records managements system (CAD/RMS), commonly known as Spillman. Spillman has several different systems integrated into the service (referred to as modules).

Since the initiation of the contract, MIS and the Department have determined that a Data Replication module will better protect the CAD/RMS system by improving security, auditing capabilities, and providing system standardization. Department staff have also been working with other agencies within Tulare County that are now using Spillman for their CAD/RMS. As a result, it is now necessary for the Department to update the software for our Insight module, which serves as a data bridge to these other agencies.

Background Discussion:

In August of 2015, the City purchased Spillman Flex to replace the antiquated CAD/RMS system.

Spillman serves as the CAD/RMS system for both Police and Fire. In addition to the dispatching capabilities, Spillman also integrates with the City’s GIS mapping program by pulling the data from Spillman. The data from Spillman is also pulled by the Department’s Crime Analysis Unit for Department review of crime trends, public records requests, other City Departments’ requests, and Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 8/4/2023

File #: 23-0298 Agenda Date: 8/7/2023 Agenda #: 11.

Department review of crime trends, public records requests, other City Departments’ requests, and for criminal investigations. In July of 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a five (5) year sole source contract to continue maintenance of pre-existing services with Motorola, the organization that had purchased Spillman Flex.

Since the authorization of this contract, MIS and the Department have identified a Data Replication module as an essential addition. The current storage method of data in Spillman requires staff to pull data from the primary module storing the data. Because of this, the data is subject to unintentional manipulation or deletion of data. Furthermore, it could lead to staff inadvertently affecting the programing of the Spillman software on the server.

City staff have determined that a Data Replication module would provide a solution to this problem.

By having the data pulled onto a Data Replication module, we would provide a secondary database to retrieve information from. This would increase the level of security for our CAD/RMS data, provide better auditing capabilities to identify who is pulling the data, and provide system standardization.

The Department was also the only Tulare County law enforcement agency to use Spillman until recently. Within the last year, Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, Tulare Police Department, and Porterville Police Department all replaced their previous CAD/RMS systems with Spillman. As a result, external databases maintained by the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office previously used by staff are no longer available or updated.

However, because all agencies are using the same system, Spillman utilizes a module called Insight to serve as a bridge between agencies. This allows staff to retrieve information such as mugshots and other investigative information to help solve cases. The Department currently has this module; however, there have been no software upgrades or maintenance to avoid unnecessary costs up to this point. This purchase will provide the necessary upgrades and annual maintenance through the completion of the current Motorola contract.

Motorola does not provide the database server license needed for maintaining this module and requires that the agency provide necessary the SQL licenses. The City currently uses Microsoft for SQL licensing and would need to add two additional licenses.

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorization to establish a contract with Jaxon Enterprises (dba Deer Creek Asphalt) by piggybacking on the County of Tulare Contract No 1905 for Hot Mix Asphalt, Contract No 1902 for 3/8” Cold Mix Asphalt, and Contract No 1904 for ½” Cold Mix Asphalt at a total amount not to exceed $400,000 annually.

Submitting Department: Public Works
Contact Name and Phone Number:

Wyndi Ferguson, Public Works Manager, [email protected], 713-4186 Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected], 713-4052 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to establish a contract with Jaxon Enterprises (dba Deer Creek Asphalt) by piggybacking on the County of Tulare Contract No 1905 for the purchase of Hot Mix Asphalt, Contract No 1902 for the purchase of 3/8” Cold Mix Asphalt, and Contract No 1904 for ½” Cold Mix Asphalt at an amount not to exceed $400,000 annually from the Gas Tax (111) Funds. This contract may be renewed, by mutual consent, for an additional two (2) one (1) year terms.

Background Discussion:

Within the City’s 36-square mile jurisdiction, the Street Maintenance division maintains approximately 500 miles of streets. Maintaining the streets is done with several different procedures, including, but not limited to, thin skin patches, minor overlays, dig outs, and pothole patching. These procedures all utilize either hot or cold mix asphalt material.

As a government entity, the City of Visalia can “piggyback” on various contracts at pre-negotiated contract pricing. In May of 2023, the County of Tulare solicited bids for 3/8” and 1/2” Cold Mix and 1/2” Hot Mix Asphalt material. In June 2023, the County awarded their FY2023/2024 asphalt contracts to Jaxon Enterprises (dba Deer Creek Asphalt). These contracts contain specific language stating that piggybacking is allowed, the material specifications are as per CalTrans specifications, and the Deer Creek Asphalt plant located southeast of Porterville is within the mileage parameters set in previous City of Visalia asphalt material contracts.

Fiscal Impact:

Funding for the purchase of asphalt material is available in the various Street Maintenance Capital Improvement Projects budgeted in the Gas Tax (111) as follows:

Gas Tax (111) Fund - Street Maintenance Projects:
· CP8351 - Hot Patching
· CP9094 - Pave Outs

· CP9508 - Dig Outs
· CP9515 - Pot Hole Patching
· CP9520 - Thin Skin Patch
· CP9525 - Minor Asphalt Overlays
Staff will coordinate with Finance to determine if any funds not spent within the associated CIP will be rolled to the next fiscal year’s CIP or released to the fund balance.

Alternatives:

Deny the request to piggyback and have the Finance Department issue a formal Request for Bids for the purchase of this material.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to authorize the establishment of a contract with Jaxon Enterprises (dba Deer Creek Asphalt) by piggybacking on the County of Tulare Contract No 1905 for Hot Mix Asphalt, Contract No 1902 for 3/8” Cold Mix Asphalt, and Contract No 1904 for ½” Cold Mix Asphalt at a total amount not to exceed $400,000 annually.

This contract may be renewed, by mutual consent, for an additional two (2) one (1) year terms.

PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS
The Engineer includes payment adjustments for price index fluctuations in progress pay estimates. If material containing asphalt is placed within 2 months during 1 estimate period, the Engineer calculates 2 separate adjustments. Each adjustment is calculated using the . price index for the month in which the quantity of material containing asphalt subject to adjustment is placed in the work. The sum of the 2 adjustments is used for increasing or deqreasing payment in the progress pay estimate.

The Engineer calculates each payment adjustment as follows:

PA= QtxA

CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for determining the means and methods of performing the specified services and COUNTY shall have no right to control or exercise any supervision over CONTRACTOR as to how the services will be performed.

This section applies to asphalt contained in materials for pavement structural sections and pavement ~urface treatm~nts s_uch as hot mix asphalt (HMA), plant run cold mix(PRCM), tack coat, asphaltic -_-emulsions,· bituminous seals, asphalt binders, and modified asphalt binders placed in the work.

The Engineer adjusts payment if the California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index for the month the material is placed is more than 5 pen~ent higher or lower than the price index at the time of contract. - The California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index is determined each month on or about the last _ business day of the month by the Department using the average of the posted prices in effect for the previous month as posted by Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips for the Buena Vista; · - . HuntinQton Beach; and Midway Sunset fields. -
lfa company discontinues posting its prices for a field, Cal trans determines the index from the •- 'ferJ:l(3ining posted prices. Caltrans may include additional fields to determine the index. · ·· For the- California Statewide Crude Oil Price Index, go to: - http:llwww.dot.ca.gov/hq/construclcrudeoilindex/

PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS
The Engineer includes payment adjustments for price index fluctuations in progress pay estimates. If material containing asphalt is placed within 2 months during 1 estimate period, the Engineer calculates 2 separate adjustments. Each adjustment is calculated using the . price index for the month in which the quantity of material containing asphalt subject to adjustment is placed in the work. The sum of the 2 adjustments is used for increasing or decreasing payment in the progress pay estimate.

The Engineer calculates each payment adjustment as follows:

PA= QtxA
where:

PA =Payment adjustment in dollars for asphalt contained in materials placed in the work for a given month.
. .
... Qt =: Sum of all quantities of asphalt-contained materials in pavement structural ·sections and pavement surface treatments placed (Qh + Qrh + Qmh + Qrap + Qtc + Qe +. Qss + Qmab + Qo). ·
A =Adjustment in dollars per ton of asphalt used to produce materials placed in· the work rounded to the nearest $0.01. ·

INDEMNIFICATION: CONTRACTOR shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the COUNTY, its agents, officers and employees from and against any liability, claims, actions, costs, damages or losses of any kind, including death or injury to any person and/or damage to any property, including COUNTY property arising out of the acts or omissions of CONTRACTOR or its agents, officers and employees under this Contract.

This indemnification specifically includes any claims that may be made against COUNTY by any taxing authority asserting that an employer-employee relationship exists by reason of this Contract, the cost of any penalty or sanction imposed by any agency with regulatory authority over the activities carried out by CONTRACTOR, and any claims made against COUNTY alleging civil rights violations by CONTRACTOR under Government Code sections 12920 et Seq. (California Fair Employment and Housing Act).

CONTRACTOR specifically agrees to hold harmless and indemnify COUNTY for any and all claims arising out of any injury, disability, or death of CONTRACTORS employees or agents. This indemnification obligation shall continue beyond the term of this Contract as to any acts or omissions occurring under this Contract or any extension of this Contract.

It is the policy of the County of Tulare Board of Supervisors that in connection with all work performed under a purchase order or agreement with Tulare County, there shall be no discrimination against any prospective or active employee engaged in the work because of race, color, ancestry, national origin, sex, or religious creed, and therefore, the Contractor agrees to comply with applicable Federal and California laws regarding employment practices. In addition, the Contractor agrees to require like compliance by all sub-contractors employed on the work by Contractor.

The foregoing obligations will continue beyond the term of the contract as to any act or omission that occurred during the term of the contract or any extension to the contract.

RENEWAL: The Contract may be renewed, by mutual written consent, for an additional TWO (2) ONE (1) year terms provided the prices, terms, and conditions remain the same.

NON-FUNDING CLAUSE: Funds provided for commodities or service under the terms of this contract are contingent on availability of public funds.

Notice shall be fully given in writing or through service in person or by first class mail.

TERMINATION OF CONTRACT: The County of Tulare may by giving ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor, terminate the contract prior to its expiration for due cause. Due cause for termination of contract shall be, but not limited to, failure to deliver in quantities required within a reasonable time period, failure of the product to meet specifications, and/or for reasons of unsatisfactory service.

The County may, upon giving thirty (30) days written notice to the Contractor, terminate the contract, with or without cause.

GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be interpreted and governed under the laws of the State of California without reference to California conflicts of law principles. The parties agree that this contract is made in and shall be performed in Tulare County California.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW: CONTRACTOR shall provide services in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations and directives. With respect to CONTRACTOR'S employees, CONTRACTOR shall comply with all laws and regulations pertaining to wages and hours, state and federal income tax, unemployment insurance, Social Security, disability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and discrimination in employment.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
(a) CONTRACTOR agrees to, at all times during the performance of this Agreement, comply with the law of the State of California regarding conflicts of interests and appearance of conflicts of interests, including, but not limited to Government Code Section 1090 et seq., and the Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000 et seq. and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto by the California Fair Political Practices Commission. The statutes, regulations and laws previously referenced include, but are not limited to, prohibitions against any public officer or employee, including CONTRACTOR for this purpose, from making any decision on behalf of COUNTY in which such officer, employee or consultant/contractor has a direct or indirect financial interest. A violation can occur if the public officer, employee or consultant/contractor participates in or influences any COUNTY decision which has the potential to confer any pecuniary benefit on CONTRACTOR or any business firm in which CONTRACTOR has an interest, with certain narrow exceptions.
(b) CONTRACTOR agrees that if any facts come to its attention which raise any questions as to the applicability of conflicts of interests laws, it will immediately inform the COUNTY designated representative and provide all information needed for resolution of this question.

FORM DE-542: CONTRACTOR acknowledges that this Agreement is subject to filing obligations pursuant to Unemployment Insurance Code Section 1088.8. Accordingly, COUNTY has an obligation to file a report with the Employment Development Department, which report will include the CONTRACTOR’s full name, social security number, address, the date this contract was executed, the total amount of the contract, the contract’s expiration date or whether it is ongoing. CONTRACTOR agrees to cooperate with COUNTY to make such information available and to complete Form DE- 542. Failure to provide the required information may, at COUNTY’s option, prevent approval of this Agreement, or be grounds for termination by COUNTY.

CONFLICT WITH LAWS OR REGULATIONS/SEVERABILITY: This Agreement is subject to all applicable laws and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court or other legal authority, or is agreed by the parties to be, in conflict with any code or regulation governing its subject matter, only the conflicting provision shall be considered null and void. If the effect of nullifying any conflicting provision is such that a material benefit of the Agreement to either party is lost, the Agreement may be terminated at the option of the affected party. In all other cases the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

CONSTRUCTION: This Agreement reflects the contributions of all undersigned parties and accordingly the provisions of Civil Code section 1654 shall not apply to address and interpret any alleged uncertainty or ambiguity.

ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTING: Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, COUNTY is relying on the personal skill, expertise, training and experience of CONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR'S employees and no part of this Agreement may be assigned or subcontracted by CONTRACTOR without the prior written consent of COUNTY.

WAIVERS: The failure of either party to insist on strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not be considered a waiver of any right to do so, whether for that breach or any subsequent breach. The acceptance by either party of either performance or payment shall not be considered to be a waiver of any preceding breach of the Agreement by the other party.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT REPRESENTED: This Agreement represents the entire agreement between CONTRACTOR and COUNTY as to its subject matter and no prior oral or written understanding shall be of any force or effect. No part of this Agreement may be modified without the written consent of both parties.

EXHIBITS AND RECITALS: The recitals and the exhibits to this Agreement are fully incorporated into and are integral parts of this Agreement.
