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 15 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 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,
C-17
01203 0006/300347 1
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

equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific

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

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
