14
(a) Contractor will defend any action or actions filed in connection with
any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs
and attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith;
(b) Contractor will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the
City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in
connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations
or activities of Contractor hereunder; and Contractor agrees to save and hold the City,
its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom;
(c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a
party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Contractor for such
damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance
of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Contractor hereunder,
Contractor agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs
and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or
proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys' fees.
Contractor shall incorporate similar, indemnity agreements with its
subcontractors and if it fails to do so Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify
City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions
shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising
from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of
Contractor in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of
this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City's sole
negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall
apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City's negligence, except that design
professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of
the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The
indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall
survive termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Payment and Performance Bond
(a) General. Before execution of the Contract by the City, a bidder to
whom the contract is awarded shall furnish surety bonds satisfactory to the City in the
amounts and for the purposes noted below. Required contract bonds shall be secured
from a surety company rated Grade A or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating
Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a
financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the
Contract Officer of the City due to unique circumstances, and shall be authorized to
write such bonds in the State of California. The Contractor shall pay all bond premiums,
costs, and incidentals.
Each bond shall be signed by both the Contractor and surety, and the signature of the
authorized agent of the surety shall be notarized.
The Contractor shall provide two good and sufficient surety bonds.
15
Surety companies shall familiarize themselves with all of the conditions and provisions
of the Contract, and shall waive the right of special notification of change or modification
of the Contract, or of any other act or acts by the City or its authorized agents under the
terms of the Contract. Failure to notify the surety companies of change shall in no way
relieve them of their obligations under the Contract.
(b) Payment Bond. The Payment Bond (material and labor) shall be
for not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the contract amount to satisfy claims of
material suppliers and of mechanics and laborers employed by them on the work. The
bond shall be maintained by the Contractor in full force and effect until the completion of
the contract and until all claims for materials and labor are paid.
(c) Performance Bond. The Performance Bond shall be for one
hundred percent (100%) of the contract amount to guaranty faithful performance of all
work, within the time prescribed in a manner satisfactory to the City, and that all
materials and workmanship will be free from original or developed defects.
5.5 Sufficiency of Insurer or Surety
If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the
Contract Officer determines that the work or services to be performed under this
Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor
agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies and the performance bond
required by Section 5.4 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from
the Contract Officer; provided that the Contractor shall have the right to appeal a
determination of increased coverage by the Contract Officer to the City Council of City
within 10 days of receipt of notice from the Contract Officer.
5.6 Substitution of Securities
Pursuant to Public Contracts Code Section 22300, substitution of eligible
equivalent securities for any moneys withheld to ensure performance under this
Agreement may be permitted at the request and expense of the Contractor.
ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION
6.1 Records

accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports (including but not limited to
payroll reports), studies or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to
City and services performed hereunder (the "books and records"), as shall be necessary
to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to
evaluate the performance of such services. Any and all such documents shall be
maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be
complete and detailed. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such
books and records at all times during normal business hours of City, including the right
to inspect, copy, audit and make records and transcripts from such records. Such
records shall be maintained for a period of 3 years following completion of the services
16

interest.

Contract Officer shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly
concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this
Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any
facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or
decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Contractor is

Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a
result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of
the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such
completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without
specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City's sole risk and without
liability to Contractor, and Contractor's guarantee and warranties shall not extend to
such use, revise or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its
own use. Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied
therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or
materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such
assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom.

but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing
or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity
and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this
Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of
California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and
agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In
the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central
District of California, in Riverside.
7.2 Disputes; Default
In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the
City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any
work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor
of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in
which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days,
but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period
of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the
default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may,
in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the
period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary
steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City
to give notice of the Contractor's default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the
City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds
City shall withhold payment from the Contractor not exceeding five percent (5%)
of the Contract Sum (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) as security for
performance of this Agreement. The retained funds shall be paid to Contractor within
sixty (60) days after final acceptance of the work by the City Council and after
Contractor has furnished City with full release of all undisputed payments under the
Agreement. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contractor from
the operation of the release, the City may retain proceeds of up to 150% of the amount
in dispute. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not,
however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City
as elsewhere provided herein.
19
7.4 Waiver
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant.
Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not
constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or
violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services
by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on
any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver
by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other
default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in
this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise
by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise
by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default
or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in
law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any
default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or
injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this
Agreement.
7.7 Liquidated Damages
Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this
Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a
breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall
pay to the City the sum of TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS ($200.00) as liquidated
damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required
hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance which is part of the bid
documents. The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services
performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically
provided in the following Article for termination for cause.
The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without
cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Contractor, except that where termination
is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as
may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the
right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days'
20
written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the
period of notice may be such shorter time as the Contractor may determine.
Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all
services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract
Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be
entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice
of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in
accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the
Contract Officer.
In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be
entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually
produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section,
the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to
cure pursuant to Article 7.2.
If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, City may require Contractor to
provide all finished or unfinished Documents and Data and other information of any kind
prepared by Contractor in connection with the performance of Services under this
Agreement. Contractor shall be required to provide such document and other
information within fifteen (15) days of the request.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor
If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under
this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Article 7.2, take over
the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the
Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services
required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City
shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any
payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts
owed the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys' Fees
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party
to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted,
whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's
fees shall include attorney's fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to
attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such
action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows
which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on
commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment.
21
ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees
No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Contractor, or
any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any
amount which may become due to the Contractor or to its successor, or for breach of
any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.
8.2 Conflict of Interest
Contractor covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or
shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with
the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Contractor's performance of
services under this Agreement. Contractor further covenants that in the performance of
this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an
officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the
Contract Officer. Contractor agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the
appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of
this Agreement.
No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in
this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision
relating to the Agreement which effects his financial interest or the financial interest of
any corporation, partnership or association in which he is, directly or indirectly,
interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation. The Contractor warrants that it
has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other
consideration for obtaining this Agreement.
8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination
Contractor covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all
persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or
segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed,
religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the performance of this
Agreement. Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are
employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their
race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry.
8.4 Unauthorized Aliens
Contractor hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the
Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101, et sec., as amended, and
in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein.
Should Contractor so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work
and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should the any liability or sanctions be
imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Contractor hereby agrees to
and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together
with any and all costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by City.
22
