BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Every year, the City implements a residential street rehabilitation project as part of its
street improvement program. This current project is for Areas 3 and 4, which roughly
encompass the residential neighborhoods within Highridge Road and Hawthorne
Boulevard to the west, Crenshaw Boulevard to the east, Crest Road to the south, and
along parts of Hawthorne Boulevard and Elkmont Drive to the north. This work is
performed in two phases. Phase I includes repairs for concrete curb and gutter, new
access ramps, concrete sidewalk, concrete driveway apron, and asphalt patches.
Phase II of the project consists of slurry seal, signing, and striping. Staff is seeking to
award agreements to accomplish Phase I of this fiscal year’s residential rehabilitation
program.
This project included the possibility to award two Alternate bid schedules.
Alternate A includes work in RHE, which will be authorized through the MOU and
will be paid for by RHE.
Alternate B includes work in Areas 3 and 4 that is not essential at this time and
was removed from the base bid to accommodate the approved budget.
Staff is recommending awarding the base bid and Bid Alternate A. Staff has worked with
RHE to draft the MOU to accommodate a request from our neighboring city to complete
much-needed work for its streets. Staff does not recommend awarding Bid Alternate B
since this additional work is not essential at this time. The $3.5 million budget includes
funds for Phase I and II, construction and the associate costs of inspection, testing,
construction management, and community outreach.
The project was publicly advertised and sealed bids were received and opened on June
20, 2019. Hardy & Harper, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible and responsive bid of
the four bids received at $1,652,000 (base bid). The engineer’s estimate of probable
cost for the project was $2,131,500 (base bid). The following table summarizes the bids
received:

ENGINEER’S
ESTIMATE $2,131,500 $212,970 $1,022,260
A discrepancy was found in the Alternate B part of the submitted low bid. Hardy &
Harper omitted one of the items of the Bid Alternate B. Consequently, this discrepancy
does not affect the base bid. Additionally, the summation on the base bid was incorrect,
but the unit costs and correct summation still place Hardy & Harper as the lowest
bidder. After review and consultation with the City Attorney’s Office, Hardy & Harper’s
base bid was found to be responsible and responsive.
The MOU with RHE states that RHE shall pay for construction, inspection and
construction management, and community outreach services as are associated with
work in RHE with a trust deposit of $199,781. The contractor will bill for RHE work
separately and the payment for this work will be deducted from the trust account, not
from the RPV Capital Improvement Program Fund.
Staff has verified Hardy & Harper’s references and found its past performance on jobs
of similar size and scope to be satisfactory. Hardy & Harper has performed similar work
for several agencies throughout Southern California, including the cities of Rancho
Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach and Riverside. Its bid, bonds, and insurance documents
are in order and its contractor’s license is current.

This remaining balance is sufficient to perform the work required through Phase II
based on the provided engineer’s estimate. Phase II of this project is currently being
advertised for construction.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative actions are available
for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Award the base bid only and do not include Alternate A, which includes work
within RHE. This alternative action would then not require the execution of the
MOU with RHE.
2. Take any other action deemed appropriate by the City Council

“I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every
employer to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake
self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with
such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.”
Contractor’s Authorized Initials ________

subcontractor who will perform work under this Agreement, Contractor shall be responsible for such
subcontractor's compliance with Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of

materially different from those indicated; or (iii) unknown physical conditions at the site of any
unusual nature, different from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in
work of the character provided for in this Agreement, and will materially affect the performance of
the services hereunder.

conditions do materially differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in
Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, shall issue a
change order per Section 1.10 of this Agreement.
(d) In the event that a dispute arises between City and Contractor whether
the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in

be excused from any scheduled completion date set, but shall proceed with all work to be performed
under the Agreement. Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law,

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 is later) after the date of
final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of
any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the Agreement, commence and prosecute

Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair, remove and replace any portions of the work (or
work of other contractors) damaged by its defective work or which becomes damaged in the course

hereunder to correct defective work shall be reinstated for an additional one year period,
commencing with the date of acceptance of such corrected work. Contractor shall perform such tests
as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign,
repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of the Agreement. All costs associated with
such corrective actions and testing, including the removal, replacement, and reinstitution of
equipment and materials necessary to gain access, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any
portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the
benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not 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. Contractor shall be obligated to fully
reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.
1.9 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,
B-6
-6-
01203.0006/300347.1
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.
1.10 Additional Work and Change Orders.
(a) 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 Work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra 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 Officer prior to
commencing the extra work thereunder.
(b) Any increase in compensation of up to ten percent (10%) of the
Contract Sum or $25,000, whichever is less; or any increase in the time to perform of up to one
hundred eighty (180) days; and does not materially affect the Work and which are not detrimental to
the Work or to the interest of the City, may be approved by the Contract Officer. Any greater
increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council.
(c) Any adjustment in the Contract Sum for a Change Order must be in
accordance with the rates set forth in the Schedule of Compensation in Exhibit “C”. If the rates in the
Schedule of Compensation do not cover the type of work in the Change Order, the cost of such 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 done.
The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) Materials and Equipment: the cost of materials and equipment
shall be at cost to Contractor or lowest current price which such materials and equipment are
reasonably available at the time the work is done, whichever is lower.
(iii) If the cost of the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the
Contractor must provide a daily report that includes invoices for labor, materials and equipment
costs for the work under the Change Order. The daily report must include: list of names of workers,
classifications, and hours worked; description and list of quantities of materials used; type of
equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and 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
B-7
-7-
01203.0006/300347.1
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.
1.11 Special Requirements.

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

2.4 Invoices.
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 Director

compliance with all provisions of the Agreement. The invoice shall contain all information specified

invoice City for any duplicate services performed by more than one person.
City shall, as soon as practicable, independently review each invoice submitted by the
Contractor 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 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

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.

require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.

limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other
requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to

intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver

additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured
against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability.
The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
(m) Pass through clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants,
subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the
project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of
Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility
for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.

engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
(n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the

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

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 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
B-20
-20-
01203.0006/300347.1
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 party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any
party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other
provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-
defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any
waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default
concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of
one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different
times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law
or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel
specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any
other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. 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
TWO THOUSAND Dollars ($2,000) 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.

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 (30) days’ written notice to Contractor,
except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such
shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the
right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ 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 Act
B-22
-22-
01203.0006/300347.1
(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. § 1101 et seq., as amended, and in connection
therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Contractor so employ
such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement,
B-23
-23-
01203.0006/300347.1
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.

satisfactory manner.
1.2 Compliance With Law. All work and services rendered hereunder shall
be provided in accordance with all ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, and regulations of the
City and any Federal, State or local governmental agency of competent jurisdiction.

work” or “maintenance work,” as those terms are defined in California Labor Code section 1720
et seq. and California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., and if the total
compensation is $1,000 or more, Consultant shall pay prevailing wages for such work and

and all other applicable laws.

Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements”

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 the City of any invoice provided by the Consultant
shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.
2.3 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

Contract Officer to the Consultant, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum
for the actual cost 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 but not exceeding a total contract amount of Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or in the time to perform of up to ninety (90) days may be approved
by the Contract Officer. Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be
approved by the City Council. No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for

all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements
of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

legal action under this Agreement.

other party.

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

limits contained in this section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other
requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific

issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other
coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums

all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured
against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of
liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
(m) Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants,
subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in
the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements
required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes
all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements
of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
(n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any
time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by
giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change
results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate
Consultant’s compensation.
(o) Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to

different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.

termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for

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

amounts owed the City as previously stated.
