Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of the Project. It is Contractor's obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided in this Agreement. 5.3.6 Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor.

Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage. 5.3.9 Requirements of specific insurance coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive. 5.3.10 The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impair the provisions of this section. 5.3.11 Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims. 5.3.12 Contractor agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from the Contractor's activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Contractor is otherwise responsible. 5.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California.

All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Contractor's insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers' Compensation policies. Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate: 1. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured... " ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No. or 'for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). 2. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self- insurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No. or ' for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). 3. "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, "endeavor to" mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out. 4. Both the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies.

ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT 8.1 California Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and as to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such County, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. 8.2 Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair language and common meaning to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Parties. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the parties. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. The caption headings of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience and identification purposes only and shall not be deemed to limit, expand, or define the contents of the respective sections or paragraphs. 8.3 Default of Contractor. Contractor's failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default. A. If the City Manager, or his designee, determines that Contractor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, he/she shall notify Contractor in writing of such default. Contractor shall have ten (10) days, or such longer period as City may designate, to cure the default by rendering satisfactory performance. In the event Contractor fails to cure its default within such period of time, City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice of any remedy to which City may be entitled at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. Contractor shall be liable for all reasonable costs incurred by City as a result of such default. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not constitute a waiver of any City right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing shall limit City's right to terminate this Agreement without cause under Section 3.5. B. 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 14 Revised: 1131/18 720669.1 8.3A, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise. The Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required hereunder exceeds the Maximum Contract Amount (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages). The 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. The withholding or failure to withhold payments to Contractor shall not limit Contractor's liability for completion of the Services as provided in this Agreement. 8.4 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought. Any waiver by the Parties of any default or breach of any covenant, condition, or term contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other default or breach, nor shall failure by the Parties to require exact, full, and complete compliance with any of the covenants, conditions, or terms contained in this Agreement be construed as changing the terms of this Agreement in any manner or preventing the Parties from enforcing the full provisions. 8.5 Rights and Remedies 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. 8.6 Le2al Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct, remedy or 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. 8.7 Attorney Fees. In the event any dispute between the Parties with respect to this Agreement results in litigation or any non judicial proceeding, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to recover from the non -prevailing Party all reasonable costs and expenses. These include but are not limited to reasonable attorney fees, expert contractor fees, court costs and all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any appeal or in collection of any judgment entered in such proceeding. To the extent authorized by law, in the event of a dismissal by the plaintiff or petitioner of the litigation or non judicial proceeding within thirty (30) days of the date set for trial or hearing, the other Party shall be deemed to be the prevailing Party in such litigation or proceeding. 720669.1 15 Revised: 1/31/18 9.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 10.1 Patent and Copyright Infringement. To the fullest extent permissible under law, and in lieu of any other warranty by City or Contractor against patent or copyright infringement, statutory or otherwise: A. It is agreed that Contractor shall defend at its expense any claim or suit against City on account of any allegation that any item furnished under this Agreement, or the normal use or sale arising out of the performance of this Agreement, infringes upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright and Contractor shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded in any such suit or claim, provided that Contractor is promptly notified in writing of the suit or claim and given authority, information and assistance at Contractor's expense for the defense of same, and provided such suit or claim arises out of, pertains to, or is related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Contractor. However, Contractor will not indemnify City if the suit or claim results from: (1) City's alteration of a deliverable, such that 16 Revised: 1 /31 /18 720669.1 City's alteration of such deliverable created the infringement upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright; or (2) the use of a deliverable in combination with other material not provided by Contractor when it is such use in combination which infringes upon an existing U.S. letters patent or copyright. B. Contractor shall have sole control of the defense of any such claim or suit and all negotiations for settlement in the event City fails to cooperate in the defense of any suit or claim, provided, however, that such defense shall be at Contractor's expense. Contractor shall not be obligated to indemnify City under any settlement that is made without Contractor's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the use or sale of such item is enjoined as a result of the suit or claim, Contractor, at no expense to City, shall obtain for City the right to use and sell the item, or shall substitute an equivalent item acceptable to City and extend this patent and copyright indemnity thereto. 10.2 Notice.

FORM OF AGREEMENT: The selected firm will be required to enter into a contractual agreement, inclusive of insurance requirements, with the City of Palm Springs in accordance with the standard Contract Services Agreement (see Attachment "D"). Please note that the Exhibits are intentionally not complete in the attached sample standard document. These exhibits will be negotiated with the selected firm, and will appear in the final Contract Services Agreement executed between the parties. We specifically draw your attention to the language in the sections of the sample contractual agreement attached entitled "Conflict of Interest' and "Covenants Against Discrimination" and recommend all firms carefully consider these contractual requirements prior to submitting a proposal in response to this RFP. Firms that submit a proposal in response to this RFP shall certify the following: a) Conflict of Interest. Consultant acknowledges that no officer or employee of the City has or shall have any direct or indirect financial interest in this Agreement nor shall Consultant enter into any agreement of any kind with any such officer or employee during the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter. Consultant warrants that Consultant has not paid or given, and will not pay or give, any third party any money or other consideration in exchange for obtaining this Agreement. b) Covenant Against Discrimination . In connection with its performance under this Agreement, Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of actual or perceived race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, national origin ( i.e., place of origin, immigration status, cultural or linguistic characteristics, or ethnicity), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, physical or mental disability, or medical condition (each a "prohibited basis"). Contractor shall ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment, without regard to any prohibited basis. As a condition precedent to City's lawful capacity to enter this Agreement, and in executing this Agreement, Contractor certifies that its actions and omissions hereunder shall not incorporate any discrimination arising from or related to any prohibited basis in any Contractor activity, including but not limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship; and further, that Contractor is in full compliance with the provisions of Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 7.09.040, including without limitation the provision of benefits, relating to nondiscrimination in city contracting. Failure or refusal to enter into an Agreement as herein provided or to conform to any of the stipulated requirements in connection therewith shall be just cause for an annulment of the award. If the highest ranked Proposer refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, or negotiations are not successful, or the agreement is terminated, the City may, at its sole discretion, enter negotiations with and award the Contract to the second highest ranked Proposer, and so on. It is the intent of the City that the agreement that is awarded as a result of this RFP shall be in effect for three years (3) with two (2) one-year renewal options at the mutual consent of the parties. The pricing shall remain fixed for the first three years of the agreement and optional renewal years 4 and 5 may be subject to a CPI adjustment. AWARD OF CONTRACT: It is the City's intent to award a contract to the firm that can provide all of the scope of work, equipment and services identified in the RFP document. However, the City reserves the right to award a contract, or to make no award, whichever is in the best interest of the City. It is anticipated that award of the contract will occur at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting after the evaluation committee has made its final selection of the firm to be recommended for award and a contract has been negotiated and agendized for consideration. The decision of the City Council will be final. RIGHT TO ACCEPT OR REJECT PROPOSALS: The City of Palm Springs reserves the right to waive any informality or technical defect in a proposal and to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any or all proposals and to cancel all or part of this RFP and seek new proposals, as best serves the interests of the City.

The City will not return the original or any copies of the proposal or other information or documents submitted to the City as part of this RFP process.

City of Palm Springs 949 428 7240 RFP 09-18 ClientServlces@DataTicket.com Citation Processing Services A.1 Local Preference Data Ticket is not requesting Local Preference. A.2 Data Ticket's Background and Qualifications Data Ticket is the City's current Administrative Citation Processing and Collections Vendor. We have contracted with the City of Palm Springs since December 2008. The services we have provided to the City of Palm Springs Include the exact services being requested in the City's RFP. In fact, Data Ticket has been providing these services longer than any other vendor in the State of California. Simply put, no other vendor provides the level of service, the advanced technological solutions or the possesses the knowledge we have regarding administrative citation processing. Data Ticket was founded in 1989 and is a California Corporation that provides administrative citation processing, management and collection services for over 150 Agencies. Data Ticket has read and understands the City's RFP. We understand the City requires an efficient system to ensure the highest level of service Is provided to the City's customers in the most cost-effective manner. We believe the City and its customers will continue to benefit from a vendor that has successfully worked with the City for the past 10 years. We also believe the City's customers will continue to benefit from a vendor that will provide seamless operations and extremely high levels of customer service, all within a cohesive solution. We believe If the City continues to utilize our comprehensive services, it will benefit from increased collections, increased compliance and increased operational efficiencies. In addition, we believe the City's customers will benefit from the efficient processing our system offers. Data Ticket's management philosophy and approach to each project we undertake is to: • Represent each client as they would represent themselves if they were providing the same or similar citation and permit management services in-house • Provide progressively advanced hardware and software, so that our clients have reports and information available as they need • Provide professional and well -trained staff to service our clients and their customers • Provide maximum revenue collections for our clients, politely and proficiently Our Citation Processing system Is a 100% web -based citation management solution. Our solution exceeds the City's requirements as defined in the City's Scope of Services. Some highlights of our solution that are Implemented with current clients today are: • Deep Experience in the Coachella Valley — Data Ticket has worked with more clients surrounding and within the Coachella Valley than any other administrative citation processing vendor. Current administrative citation processing clients Include the Cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indio, Rancho Mirage, Coachella, and others. 7206691 EO Data Ticket, Inc. 949 428 7240 ClientServices@DataTicket.com City of Palm Springs RFP 09.18 Citation Processing Services Right Sized Staffing - Data Ticket does not share employees across departments. For example, our customer service department staff only answers phones; they do not perform data entry tasks. This is a huge benefit to the City as It means each staff member has been well trained and is an expert in their individual field. It also means that we have adequate resources in each department who are focused on exactly the type of work they were hired for and we can fill in for the City when City Personnel take vacations or are reassigned to other projects. No Increase in Fees — Unlike other vendors, Data Ticket does not rely on an annual CPI charge that increases your costs. We maintain the fees agreed upon in our contract unless services are changed, or postage increases. This is beneficial to the City because it eliminates an increase in annual budgetary costs. Flexible Adjudication Processing - Data Ticket provides the capability for our clients' citizens and visitors to request hearings online and provides the option to attach up to three supporting documents. This sets Data Ticket apart from our competitors, who inform customers to request a review or hearing online by completing a form that then must be sent in via mail. Our system allows customers to complete the necessary forms online and send their supporting documentation real- time, thus expediting the process and ensuring the citation has been placed on hold In a timely manner. In addition to the benefits discussed above, Data Ticket's solution provides for: • A 100% web -based solution - none of our clients are left on an old, outdated and/or unsupported version of our software • Automatic Importing of electronically written citations daily (24/7), without any human intervention • In-house data entry services to key manually written parking citations within 24 hours of receipt • Many handheld ticket writer options for our clients to meet their individual needs • A proprietary handheld citation Issuance software that is updated regularly so our clients never have old, outdated and/or unsupported software • A complete audit trail for each citation In the system, Including adjudication history, payment history, notice history, phone notes and registered owner history • A complete edit history of the citation data, Including citation date, time, location, violation and fine amounts • Semi -custom notices that are sent daily, based on each client's business rules • Additional notices, including NSF letters, partial payment letters, payment plan letters and others daily • Data entry for all checks, cash and money orders received via US Mail within 24 hours of receipt • Scanning and storing of all backup received with payments received via US Mail, including envelopes • The ability for customers to pay for, appeal, view citation images and get general citation information via the web, 24/7 • The acceptance of VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express via the internet, phone, IVR and US Mail • Real-time authorization, processing and PCI compliance for all credit/debit card 720669,1 Data Ticket, Inc.

We are the City's current administrative citation processor and have been so since December 2008. We understand the City and its Customers better than any other vendor and we are in the unique position of being the only vendor who can provide consistent, uninterrupted service to the City and the City's Customers. We understand the City requires a high level of attention to detail when processing the City's citations. This translates to a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge. Data Ticket possesses that experience and knowledge. We are the longest running administrative citation processor In California. Unlike all other processing vendors who modified their parking citation software to develop an administrative program, our Administrative Citation Processing software was developed to serve Code Enforcement and Administrative Enforcement Agencies only. Administrative citation processing is not similar to parking citation processing and any vendor that tells you they are the same or should share software are wrong. Data Ticket understands the City requires an extremely high level of Customer Service. Our Customer Service Representatives expertly handle the City's callers today. We will continue to provide detailed knowledge regarding the City's violations and processes to callers. We will also continue to handle all processing related to Franchise Tax Board and Delinquent Collections. Finally, except for citation issuance, Data Ticket understands the City is reliant on its processing vendor to handle all functions related to processing citations and collections but include the City in any key issues that may arise. Data Ticket has performed these functions for the City and will continue to do so if selected as the City's vendor of choice. 6.3 Key or Critical Issues Data Ticket has not identified any key or critical issues we believe will be encountered because we are the City's current vendor. 720669.1 M Data Ticket, Inc. 949 428 7240 ClientServices@DataTicket.com SECTION C: 720669 1 City of Palm Springs RFP 09-18 Citation Processing Services Data Ticket, Inc. 949 428 7240 ClientServices@DataTicket.com CA Approach and Methodology City of Palm Springs RFP 09-18 Citation Processing Services Our approach to citation processing is continually evolving. We have been processing administrative citations for 17 years. We use our experience and expertise to continually Improve our software and our services so that our partnerships with our Clients continue to evolve and grow. During the life of any contract, we believe it is our responsibility to benefit our Clients technically by providing regular enhancements. Our software Is living software. It is provided as a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Because our Clients do not own the software, it is Data Ticket's responsibility to enhance that software regularly, thereby providing our clients with new, forward -thinking functionality. Data Ticket's Citation Management Solution is available to our clients via a 100% web - based solution. We are the leader in the industry about our customer service, industry knowledge and willingness to partner on every level with our Clients. Since we have the benefit of processing for many agencies in the Coachella Valley and outside the Coachella Valley we have the access and ability to observe and understand "best practices" in the industry and to share those best practices with our Clients. We partner 100% with our Clients to meet and exceed their needs and we expect our Clients to rely on us for our expertise. Throughout our response to this section of the City's RFP you will find areas we have marked as Bonus. These items have been bolded and underlined to draw attention to the additional service offerings and/or technology or process changes we recommend the City consider. These are simply suggestions that we believe will aid the City in providing a more efficient and effective parking citation processing and collections solution.

This eliminates the need for any paper to be mailed to the City and Increases the efficiency of processing. Notice Letters Data Ticket will continue to send all notices daily, dependent upon the event and/or the timeframe defined by the City. Each citation Is treated Independently so as each citation has fulfilled the requirements set forth by the City, the appropriate notices are sent. All notices sent by Data Ticket have the citation number, citation date, plate and state, make, notice date, violation(s) and amount due prominently positioned on them. In addition, each notice identifies the due date and dollar amount owed at each of the escalation dates, so the recipient is clear on what is owed and when. In addition, all notices define how to pay for the citation, appeal the citation (if applicable), and inquire about the citation. Each notice, except for the FTB notice, allows for customized text to be defined by the City and each notice provides a toll -free, bl-lingual telephone number that is answered by 720669 1 Data Ticket, Inc. 949 428 7240 ClientServices@DataTicket.com City of Palm Springs RFP 09.18 Citation Processing Services both a bl-lingual IVR (integrated voice response) system and bi-lingual customer service agents that are all in-house.

In addition to the allowance of the submission of check or money order. recipients may also submit a credit/debit card number for processing.
