BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
This is the second phase of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) -related improvements
at Fred Hesse Park and Community Building, and addresses issues of access to the
Community Building and additional accessibility improvements at selected areas within
the Community Building. The general items of work include construction of ADA curb
ramps, including curb and gutter modifications along the ramps as well as the removal
and replacement of the traveled path (sidewalk) to create ADA -compliant pedestrian
1
linkage from the parking lot to the Community Building entrance. Additional ADA -
specific modifications will include correcting the elevations at the brick paving fronting
the building and numerous interior building modifications, such as relocating light
switches, modifying interior doors and addressing access barriers to ADA -approved
standards.
The project was publicly advertised and sealed bids were received and opened on June
5, 2017. ABNY General Engineering, Inc. (ABNY) submitted the lowest responsive bid
out of four (4) bids received. D2S Contractor, Inc. (D2S) had the lowest bid, but their
proposal had discrepancies. Staff consulted with the City Attorney's office and agreed to
give D2S additional time to correct the discrepancies, but D2S failed to meet their
deadline. Additionally, Staff received a letter of withdrawal from D2S because of a
calculation error with their bid amount. Accordingly, due to the several deficiencies, Staff
found D2S's proposal to be nonresponsive. Staff and the City Attorney's office agree to
relieve D2S as a nonresponsive bidder. The following table summarizes the bids
received:

Staff has verified ABNY'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 ABNY for their proposed amount of $367,460.90. Additionally, Staff
recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement to HR Green California, Inc.
for construction oversight and inspection services in the amount of $25,800. HR Green
California, Inc. was chosen out of the received proposals because of their experienced
team of inspectors, comprehensive services and availability throughout the project.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council's consideration:
Reject all bids and re -advertise the construction project.

Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any
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

additional one year period, commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work.

such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement
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
City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non -conforming work and any
work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense.

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

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.

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.

to waive any defects in work performed by Contractor.

hereunder shall mean the approval of the Contract Officer. The Contract Officer shall have
authority, if specified in writing by the City Manager, to sign all documents on behalf of the City
required hereunder to carry out the terms of this Agreement.
4.4 Independent Contractor.
Neither the City nor any of its employees shall have any control over the manner,
mode or means by which Contractor, its agents or employees, perform the services required herein,
except as otherwise set forth herein. City shall have no voice in the selection, discharge,
supervision or control of Contractor's employees, servants, representatives or agents, or in fixing
01203.0006/379445.1 10 A-11
their number, compensation or hours of service. Contractor shall perform all services required
herein as an independent contractor of City and shall remain at all times as to City a wholly
independent contractor with only such obligations as are consistent with that role. Contractor shall
not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its agents or employees are agents or
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.
ARTICLE 5. INSURANCE, INDEMNIFICATION AND BONDS

the City, its elected and appointed officers, employees and agents as additional insureds and any

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
01203.0006/379445.1 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.
01203.0006/379445.1 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
an escrow agreement in a form prescribed by Public Contract Code Section 22300, request
payment of retentions funds earned directly to the escrow agent at the sole expense of the
Contractor.

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.
01203.0006/379445.1 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
01203.0006/379445.1 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
01203.0006/379445.1 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 Eight Hundred Dollars ($1,800) 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.
01203.0006/379445.1 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
01203.0006/379445.1 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
01203.0006/379445.1 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

first-class firms performing similar work under similar circumstances.
-2- B-2
1.2 Consultant's Proposal.
The Scope of Service shall include the Consultant's scope of work or bid which shall be
incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of such proposal and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
1.3 Compliance with Law.
Consultant shall keep itself informed concerning, and shall render all services hereunder in
accordance with, all ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, and regulations of the City and any Federal,
State or local governmental entity having jurisdiction in effect at the time service is rendered.
1.4 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments.
Consultant shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits and approvals as may be
required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement. Consultant shall have the
sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may
be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for the Consultant's performance of the services required
by this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents
of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against
City hereunder.
1.5 Familiarity with Work.
By executing this Agreement, Consultant warrants that Consultant (i) has thoroughly investigated
and considered the scope of services to be performed, (ii) has carefully considered how the services should
be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending performance
of the services under this Agreement. If the services involve work upon any site, Consultant warrants that
Consultant has or will investigate the site and is or will be fully acquainted with the conditions there
existing, prior to commencement of services hereunder. Should the Consultant discover any latent or
unknown conditions, which will materially affect the performance of the services hereunder, Consultant
shall immediately inform the City of such fact and shall not proceed except at Consultant's risk until written
instructions are received from the Contract Officer.
1.6 Care of Work.
The Consultant shall adopt reasonable methods during the life of the Agreement to furnish
continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or
other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to
persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as may be caused
by City's own negligence.
1.7 Further Responsibilities of Parties.
Both parties agree to use reasonable care and diligence to perform their respective obligations under
this Agreement. Both parties agree to act in good faith to execute all instruments, prepare all documents
and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Unless
hereafter specified, neither party shall be responsible for the service of the other.
1.8 Additional Services.
City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating
this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Services or make changes by
altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written
-3- B-3
order is first given by the Contract Officer to the Consultant, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the
Contract Sum for the actual costs of the extra work, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which
said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Consultant. Any increase in compensation of up
to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Sum or $25,000, whichever is less; or, in the time to perform of up to
one hundred eighty (180) days, may be approved by the Contract Officer. Any greater increases, taken
either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council. It is expressly understood by
Consultant that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope
of Services. Consultant hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided
pursuant to the Scope of Services may be more costly or time consuming than Consultant anticipates and
that Consultant shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute
discretion have similar work done by other contractors. No claims for an increase in the Contract Sum or
time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.
1.9 Special Requirements.
Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set
forth in the "Special Requirements" attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by this
reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit `B" and any other provisions of this
Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit `B" shall govern.
ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Contract Sum.
Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Consultant the amounts
specified in the "Schedule of Compensation" attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein by this
reference. The total compensation, including reimbursement for actual expenses, shall not exceed Twen
Five Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($25,800.00) (the "Contract Sum"), unless additional compensation
is approved pursuant to Section 1.8.
2.2 Method of Compensation.
The method of compensation may include: (i) a lump sum payment upon completion; (ii) payment
in accordance with specified tasks or the percentage of completion of the services, less contract retention;
(iii) payment for time and materials based upon the Consultant's rates as specified in the Schedule of
Compensation, provided that (a) time estimates are provided for the performance of sub tasks, (b) contract
retention is maintained, and (c) the Contract Sum is not exceeded; or (iv) such other methods as may be
specified in the Schedule of Compensation.
2.3 Reimbursable Expenses.
Compensation may include reimbursement for actual and necessary expenditures for reproduction
costs, telephone expenses, and travel expenses approved by the Contract Officer in advance, or actual
subcontractor expenses of an approved subcontractor pursuant to Section 4.5, and only if specified in the
Schedule of Compensation. The Contract Sum shall include the attendance of Consultant at all project
meetings reasonably deemed necessary by the City. Coordination of the performance of the work with City
is a critical component of the services. If Consultant is required to attend additional meetings to facilitate
such coordination, Consultant shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for attending said
meetings.
2.4 Invoices.
Each month Consultant 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 Director of Finance. By
-4- B-4
submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Consultant is certifying compliance with all
provisions of the Agreement. The invoice shall detail charges for all necessary and actual expenses by the
following categories: labor (by sub -category), travel, materials, equipment, supplies, and sub -contractor
contracts. Sub -contractor charges shall also be detailed by such categories. Consultant shall not invoice
City for any duplicate services performed by more than one person.
City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Consultant to determine whether the
work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except
as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Consultant which are disputed by City, or as
provided in Section 7.3, City will use its best efforts to cause Consultant to be paid within forty-five (45)
days of receipt of Consultant's correct and undisputed invoice; however, Consultant 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 any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be
returned by City to Consultant for correction and resubmission. Review and payment by City for any
invoice provided by the Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein
or any applicable law.
2.5 Waiver.
Payment to Consultant for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to
waive any defects in work performed by Consultant.
ARTICLE 3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
3.1 Time of Essence.
Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.
3.2 Schedule of Performance.
Consultant shall commence the services pursuant to this Agreement upon receipt of a written notice
to proceed and shall perform all services within the time period(s) established in the "Schedule of
Performance" attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein by this reference. When requested
by the Consultant, extensions to the time period(s) specified in the Schedule of Performance may be
approved in writing by the Contract Officer but not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days cumulatively.
3.3 Force Majeure.
The time period(s) specified in the Schedule of Performance for performance of the services
rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes
beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Consultant, including, but not restricted to,
acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics,
quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental
agency, including the City, if the Consultant shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay
notify the Contract Officer in writing of the causes of the delay. The Contract Officer shall ascertain the
facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced
delay when and if in the judgment of the Contract Officer such delay is justified. The Contract Officer's
determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Consultant

volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities Consultant
performs; products and completed operations of Consultant; premises owned, occupied or used by
Consultant; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Consultant. The coverage shall

appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers. Consultant's insurance shall apply separately to each
-8- B-8
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 Consultant
shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration,
defense expenses and claims. The Consultant agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be
construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment
of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any
person or persons for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant's
indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section 4.5 of
this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor
to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant 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, Consultant 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 connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or
activities provided herein of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any
individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable ("indemnitors"), or arising from Consultant's or
indemnitors' reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant's or indemnitors' negligent
performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in
connection therewith:
(a) Consultant 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) Consultant 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 Consultant hereunder; and
Consultant 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 Consultant 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
Consultant hereunder, Consultant 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.
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to
do so Consultant 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 Consultant 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
-9- B-9
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 Consultant and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer.
Insurance 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 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 Consultant agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be
changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.
ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION

Consultant shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts,
invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies or other documents relating to the disbursements

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

City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of
Consultant's business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided
by Consultant's successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Consultant 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.
Consultant 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. Consultant
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, Consultant agrees that if Consultant 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 Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project
being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique
or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design
services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.

property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination
-10- B-10
of this Agreement, and Consultant 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 Consultant will be at
the City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant's guarantee and warranties shall not
extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use.
Consultant shall have the 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 Consultant fails to
secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover,
Consultant 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) All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in
performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public
domain or already known to Consultant. Consultant 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) Consultant, 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

Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have
the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including

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 Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or
similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity
to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. 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

7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have
any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of
default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The
notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant 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 Consultant 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 Consultant 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 Consultant'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.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (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 Consultant's acts or omissions in
performing or failing to perform Consultant's 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 Consultant, 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 Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
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 Consultant 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, Consultant shall file a
statutory 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 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 (30) days' written notice to Consultant, except that where
termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be
determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant 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 Consultant
may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services
hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the
Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant 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 Consultant has initiated
termination, the Consultant 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.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant 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 Consultant 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
Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.9 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.

8.1 Non-liabili , of City Officers and Employees.
No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in
