BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
This Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access improvement project is located at
30940 Hawthorne Boulevard, also known as Rancho Palos Verdes City Hall/Civic
Center. Currently, there is no ADA -compliant walkway connecting the nearest bus stop
to the City Hall complex. This project corrects this by connecting the nearest bus stop to
City Hall with an ADA -compliant concrete walkway within the grassy area just east of
City Hall Buildings and through the parking lot.

Staff prepared plans, specifications and a construction cost estimate and these
documents were reviewed by the Los Angeles County Community Development
Commission. The project was publicly advertised and sealed bids were received and
opened on June 6, 2017. PALP, Inc. dba Excel Paving Company (PALP) submitted the
lowest responsive bid out of two (2) bids received. The following table summarizes the
bids received:

Staff has verified PALP's references and found their past performance to be
satisfactory. Their bid, bonds, and insurance documents are in order and their
contractor's license is current. Accordingly, Staff recommends awarding a construction
contract to PALP for their proposed amount of $148,355.
A portion of the budgeted funds were used for project design and administrative costs,
and Staff is recommending an additional appropriation of $13,760 for this project. Staff
anticipates that these monies will be reimbursed by Los Angeles County Community
Development Commission shortly after the new fiscal year through our FY17-18
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council's consideration:

non -conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any
defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or
the period of time specified elsewhere in the Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided
by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever

and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the
City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any
other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the

work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Contract Officer to the
Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, and/or (ii) the time to
perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the
Contractor ("Change Order"). All Change Orders must be signed by the Contractor and Contract

increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council.

work shall not exceed an amount agreed upon in writing and signed by Contractor and Contract
Officer. If the cost of the Change Order cannot be agreed upon, the City will pay for actual work
of the Change Order completed, to the satisfaction of the City, as follows:
(i) Labor: the cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of
workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is

transportation, if applicable; description of other City authorized services and expenditures in such
detail as the City may require. Failure to submit a daily report by the close of the next working day
may, at the City's sole and absolute discretion, waive the Contractor's rights for that day.
(d) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this
Section 1.10 shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. Contractor
hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope
of Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor
shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute
discretion have similar work done by other contractors.
(e) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for
performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.

Compensation.
2.3 Reimbursable Expenses.

Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work
performed and expenses incurred during the preceding month in a form approved by City's

incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, or as provided in Section 7.3, City will cause
Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor's correct and undisputed
invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures,
the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City
does not cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and
properly submitted invoice, Contractor shall be entitled to the payment of interest to the extent
allowed under Public Contract Code Section 20104.50. In the event any charges or expenses are
disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor, not later than seven
(7) days after receipt by the City, for correction and resubmission. Returned invoices shall be
accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request was
rejected. Review and payment by the City of any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not
constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.
2.5 Waiver.

to waive any defects in work performed by Contractor.

employees of City. City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed to be a
partner of Contractor in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any joint
enterprise with Contractor.
4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.
The experience, knowledge, capability and reputation of Contractor, its principals
and employees were a substantial inducement for the City to enter into this Agreement. Therefore,
Contractor shall not contract with any other entity to perform in whole or in part the services
required hereunder without the express written approval of the City. All subcontractors shall
obtain, at its or Contractor's expense, such licenses, permits, registrations and approvals (including
from the City) as may be required by law for the performance of any services or work under this
Agreement. In addition, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred,
assigned, conveyed, hypothecated or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for
the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written approval of City. Transfers restricted
hereunder shall include the transfer to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more
than twenty five percent (25%) of the present ownership and/or control of Contractor, taking all
transfers into account on a cumulative basis. In the event of any such unapproved transfer,
including any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved transfer shall
release the Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express
consent of City.

the City, its elected and appointed officers, employees and agents as additional insureds and any
insurance maintained by City or its officers, employees or agents may apply in excess of, and not

endorsement) and shall conform to the following "cancellation" notice:

[to be initialed]
Agent's Initials
City, its respective elected and appointed officers, directors, officials, employees,
agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of
activities Contractor performs; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned,
occupied or used by Contractor; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by
Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded
to City, and their respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Contractor's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit
is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by
City. At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-
insured retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials,
employees and volunteers or the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses
and related investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Contractor
agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the
extent to which the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons
or property resulting from the Contractor's activities or the activities of any person or persons for
which the Contractor is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Contractor's indemnification
liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Contractor subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with
Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor shall
require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Contractor is required
to maintain pursuant to Section 5. 1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to
City.
5.3 Indemnification.
To the full extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") against, and will
hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial,
administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs,
penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein "claims
or liabilities") that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in
01203.0006/383136.1 13 A-14
connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of
Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity
for which Contractor is legally liable ("indemnitors"), or arising from Contractor's or indemnitors'
reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Contractor's or indemnitors' negligent performance
of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in
connection therewith:
(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.
In addition, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from, any and all claims and liabilities for any infringement of patent rights,
copyrights or trademark on any person or persons in consequence of the use by the Indemnified
Parties of articles to be supplied by Contractor under this Agreement, and of which the Contractor
is not the patentee or assignee or has not the lawful right to sell the same.
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 and work 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.
01203.0006/383136.1 14 A-15
5.4 Notification of Third -Party Claims.
City shall timely notify Contractor of the receipt of any third -party claim relating
to the work under this Agreement. City shall be entitled to recover from Contractor its reasonable
costs incurred in providing such notification.
5.5 Performance and Labor Bonds.
Concurrently with execution of this Agreement Contractor shall deliver to the City,
the following:

Agreement, in the form provided by the City Clerk, which secures the faithful performance of this
Agreement.
(b) A labor and materials bond in the amount of the Contract Sum of
this Agreement, in the form provided by the City Clerk, which secures the payment of all persons
furnishing labor and/or materials in connection with the work under this Agreement.
Both the performance and labors bonds required under this Section 5.5 shall contain
the original notarized signature of an authorized officer of the surety and affixed thereto shall be a
certified and current copy of his power of attorney. The bond shall be unconditional and remain in
force during the entire term of the Agreement and shall be null and void only if the Contractor
promptly and faithfully performs all terms and conditions of this Agreement and pays all labor and
materials for work and services under this Agreement.
5.6 Sufficiency of Insurer or Surety.
Insurance and bonds required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued
by companies qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition
of Best's 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 Risk Manager
of the City ("Risk Manager") due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more
than 3 years duration, or in the event the Risk Manager 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 5.5 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk
Manager.
5.7 Substitution of Securities.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300, substitution of eligible equivalent
securities for any funds withheld to ensure performance under this Agreement may be permitted
at the request and sole expense of the Contractor. Alternatively, the Contractor may, pursuant to

evidence of satisfaction of all other requirements under Article 5 of this Agreement;

Bond until such claims have been resolved, Contractor has provided statutory bond, or otherwise
as required by applicable law.
ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION
6.1 Records.
Contractor shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of
accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies, certified and accurate copies of
payroll records in compliance with all applicable laws, 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 hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in
the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Contractor's business, custody of the
books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Contractor's successor
in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall fully cooperate with the City in
providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is
required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.
6.2 Reports.
Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such
reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the 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 providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Contractor
shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the
estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Contractor is providing design
services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.
01203.0006/383136.1 16 A-17
6.3 Ownership of Documents.
All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data,
notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the "documents and
materials") prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance
of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the
Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and 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, reuse 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. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may
qualify as "works made for hire" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are
hereby deemed "works made for hire" for the City.
6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) information gained or work product produced by Contractor in
performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the
public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such
information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written
authorization from the Contract Officer.
(b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall
not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City
Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions,
response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this
Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided
Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena.
(c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of
Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City
shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and
fees, including attorneys' fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor's conduct.
(d) Contractor shall promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers,
employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of
deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery
request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed
there under. City retains the right, 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 with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by
01203.0006/383136.1 17 A-18
Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by
City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
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 Los Angeles, 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 the County of Los
Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes.
(a) Default; Cure. 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 proceed with payment on the
invoices only when the default is cured. 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.
(b) Dispute Resolution. This contract is subject to the provisions of
Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract
Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Article 1.5 mandates
certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the
response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request
of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and
for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This
Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor
(whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in
dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or
damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by
reason of Contractor's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor's
01203.0006/383136.1 18 A-19
obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount
or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear
to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for
interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. 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.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any parry 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. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905
et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under 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 One Thousand Fifty Dollars ($1,050) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in
the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance
(Exhibit "D"). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed
by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215,
Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project when
such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for
removal or relocation of utility facilities.
01203.0006/383136.1 19 A-20
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically
provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate
this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (3 0) 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' 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, except as provided in Section 7.3. 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 Section 7.2.
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 Section 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.
7.11 Unfair Business Practices Claims.
In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to the City
all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton
01203.0006/383136.1 20 A-21
Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700)
of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods,
services or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become
effective at the time the City renders final payment to the Contractor without further
acknowledgment of the Parties.
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, there shall be no discrimination against or segregation
of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual
orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or other protected class 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, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or other protected class.
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 seq., as amended, and in
connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Contractor
01203.0006/383136.1 21 A-22
so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this
Agreement, and should 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.
