(3) In the event the policy of insurance is written on an "occurrence" basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or until completion of the Services provided for in this Agreement, whichever is later.

The following provisions shall apply to the insurance policies required of Consultant under this Agreement: 5.3.1 For any claims related to this Agreement, Consultant's coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be in excess of Consultant's insurance and shall not contribute with it. 5.3.2 Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies, including breaches of warranties, shall not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. 5.3.3 All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies. Nothing Page 9 of 20 contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage. 5.3.4 No required insurance coverages may include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth in this Agreement (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City Manager and approved in writing. 5.3.5 Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor' (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements. 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 Consultant's obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided in this Agreement. 5.3.6 Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage 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 subcontractors and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review. 5.3.7 Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non- compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights in this or any other regard. 5.3.8 Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required in this Agreement, expiring during the term of this Agreement, have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. 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. Page 10 of 20 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 Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant 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 Consultant agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Consultant 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. Coverage shall be provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M. Best's Key Rating of B++, Class VII, or better, unless such requirements are waived in writing by the City Manager or his designee due to unique circumstances. 5.5 Verification of Coverage. Consultant shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Consultant'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 Page 11 of 20 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. All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of work shall not waive the Consultant's obligation to provide them. 6. INDEMNIFICATION 6.1 Indemnification and Reimbursement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (at Consultant's sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses including legal costs and attorney fees (collectively "Claims"), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Consultant's employees included), for damage to property, including property owned by City, from any violation of any federal, state, or local law or ordinance, and from errors and omissions committed by Consultant, its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, that arise out of or relate to Consultant's performance under this Agreement. This indemnification clause excludes Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Page 12 of 20 Consultant's indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement. Consultant's indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final. This provision is intended for the benefit of third party Indemnified Parties not otherwise a party to this Agreement. 6.2 Design Professional Services Indemnification and Reimbursement. If the Agreement is determined to be a "design professional services agreement" and Consultant is a "design professional" under California Civil Code Section 2782.8, then: A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend (at Consultant's sole cost and expense), protect and hold harmless City and its elected officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers and all other public agencies whose approval of the project is required, (individually "Indemnified Party"; collectively "Indemnified Parties") against any and all liabilities, claims, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, costs, demands, orders and penalties (collectively "Claims"), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries or death of persons (Consultant's employees included) and damage to property, which Claims arise out of, pertain to, or are related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant, its agents, employees, or subcontractors, or arise from Consultant's negligent, reckless or willful performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement ("Indemnified Claims"), but Consultant's liability for Indemnified Claims shall be reduced to the extent such Claims arise from the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the City and its elected officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers. B. The Consultant shall require all non-design-professional sub- contractors, used or sub-contracted by Consultant to perform the Services or Work required under this Agreement, to execute an Indemnification Agreement adopting the indemnity provisions in sub-section 6.1 in favor of the Indemnified Parties. In addition, Consultant shall require all non-design-professional sub-contractors, used or sub- contracted by Consultant to perform the Services or Work required under this Agreement, to obtain insurance that is consistent with the Insurance provisions as set forth in this Agreement, as well as any other insurance that may be required by Contract Officer. 7. REPORTS AND RECORDS 7.1 Accountina Records. Consultant shall keep complete, accurate, and detailed accounts of all time, costs, expenses, and expenditures pertaining in any way to this Agreement. Consultant shall keep such books and records as shall be necessary to properly perform the Services required by this Agreement and to enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such Services.

All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, memoranda, correspondence, computations, and other materials prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors, and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be promptly delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement. 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 of the documents and materials. Any use of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of incomplete documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and the City shall indemnify the Consultant for all resulting damages. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for their own use. Consultant shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied tin this Agreement. Consultant shall ensure that all its subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them. In the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all resulting damages. 7.4 Release of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, and other materials prepared by Consultant in the performance of services under this Agreement shall not be released publicly without the prior written approval of the Contract Officer. All information gained by Consultant in the performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential and shall not be released by Consultant without City's prior written authorization. 7.5 Audit and Inspection of Records. After receipt of reasonable notice and during the regular business hours of City, Consultant shall provide City, or other agents of City, such access to Consultant's books, records, payroll documents, and facilities as City deems necessary to examine, copy, audit, and inspect all accounting books, records, work data, documents, and activities directly related to Consultant's performance under this Agreement. Consultant shall maintain such books, records, data, and documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall clearly identify and make such items readily accessible to such parties during the Page 14 of 20 term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment by City hereunder. 8. 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 Consultant 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 Consultant. Consultant's failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default. A. If the City Manager, or his designee, determines that Consultant is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, he/she shall notify Consultant in writing of such default. Consultant shall have ten (10) days, or such longer period as City may designate, to cure the default by rendering satisfactory performance. In the event Consultant 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. Consultant 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 Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.3A, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise. The Consultant 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 Page 15 of 20 withhold any payments to the Consultant 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 Consultant shall not limit Consultant'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 Lecial 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 consultant 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. Page 16 of 20 9. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 9.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, 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 Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 9.2 Conflict of Interest. No officer or employee of the City shall have any direct or indirect financial interest in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which effects their financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership, or association in which he/she is, directly or indirectly, interested in violation of any state statute or regulation. 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. 9.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. In connection with its performance under this Agreement, Consultant shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, or national origin. Consultant shall ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment, without regard to their race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, or national origin. Such actions shall include, but not be 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. 10. 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 Consultant against patent or copyright infringement, statutory or otherwise: A. It is agreed that Consultant 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 Consultant shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded in any such suit or claim, provided that Consultant is promptly notified in writing of the suit or claim and given authority, information and assistance at Consultant'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 Consultant. However, Consultant will not indemnify City if the suit or claim results from: (1) City's alteration of a deliverable, such that 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 Consultant when it is such use in combination which Page 17 of 20 infringes upon an existing U.S. letters patent or copyright. B. Consultant 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 Consultant's expense. Consultant shall not be obligated to indemnify City under any settlement that is made without Consultant'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, Consultant, 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. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or communication that either party desires, or is required to give to the other party or any other person shall be in writing. All notices shall be personally delivered, sent by pre- paid First Class U.S. Mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered or sent by facsimile with attached evidence of completed transmission.

Following is a detailed description of various tasks to be provided in compliance with LAPM: LAPM, Chapters 16 and 17 cover requirements for the contract administration and project completion of federally funded projects. LAPM Chapter 16 covers the topics beginning with project supervision, contract time, subcontractors, Engineer's daily reports, projects files, construction records and procedures, safety provisions, labor compliance, equal opportunity employment, disadvantaged business enterprise, contract change orders, material sampling and testing, and traffic safety in the highway and street zones. Chapter 17 covers the topic of project completion. Exhibit "A" Page 1 of 4 Pre-Construction Meeting: We will conduct a pre-construction meeting. The meeting will be attended by representatives of the local agency and contractor. The City will also invite other affected agencies, local authorities (police, fire, etc.), and public utilities personnel to attend. City will also extend an invitation to Caltrans. If necessary, we will hold additional meetings where considerable effort and time is required to cover specific areas, such as labor compliance, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), record keeping, etc. We will explain the various forms, reports, as well as sanctions for noncompliance with local, state, and federal requirements. Discussions will include: requirements for Equal Employment Opportunity, state and federal safety, labor compliance and DBE. Potential utility and traffic safety problems will also be discussed, as well as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance requirements. A written record of attendance and items discussed will be prepared and distributed to all attendees. Contract Time Monitoring: We will review working days, contract time requirements, and document time extensions according to the requirements set forth in the bid specifications. Any contract time extension approvals will only be made if the justification demonstrates a delay to the controlling item(s) of work in the contractor's schedule. We will maintain a written record of project progress. This record will indicate factors which may affect the work, such as, weather conditions, utility delays, strikes or labor disputes, and material shortages. Based on these factors a record of working days will be maintained. We will use documentation similar to LAPM Exhibit 16-A, "Weekly Statement of Working Days," Form CEM-2701 for the record of project progress. Engineer's Daily Reports: Consultant shall keep daily reports to record work in progress. When the report is used to determine compliance with labor provisions of the contract, the following additional information will be included: • The names or identification numbers of the contractor's personnel • The respective classifications of the work being performed • The number of hours worked on the date covered by the report Reporting for labor compliance will be done on a random spot-check basis only. One report per week on the project will be used as an initial guide. The frequency may be reduced after a high degree of compliance has been verified. We will use daily report forms used by Caltrans that are shown as Exhibit 16-C of LAPM. Project Files: The project file will contain all data pertinent to the work and to the requirements of the specifications. In general, project files will support: • adequacy of filed control • conformance to contract specifications, and • contract payments to the contractor The file will be complete, available at a single location, organized and maintained in a manner that permits inspection by Caltrans and FHWA personnel during process reviews or random checks. Maintaining complete and accurate files is a very important aspect of managing federally funded projects. Generally, whenever the local agency is unable to produce requested data or information, it is assumed by reviewing personnel that the required actions were either never performed or not properly recorded. Exhibit "A" Page 2 of 4 Organized project files can minimize these negative assumptions. The District Local Assistance Engineer (DLAE) may perform process reviews and inspect, during construction, local agency project files for compliance with Federal and State requirements. Organization and content of the project file is one indicator of effective and efficient management of the project by the resident engineer. Organization of Files: Project files will be organized to include the information listed below: 1. Project Personnel 2. Correspondence 3. Weekly record of working days 4. Materials Data (Material Data will vary according to the Local Agency's Quality Assurance Program, QAP. Items listed are required for the Caltrans QAP if adopted by the local agency) 5. Engineer's Daily Reports 6. Contract Item Pay Quantity Documents 7. Contract Change Orders 8. Extra Work Reports 9. Progress Pay Estimates and Status of Funds 10.Labor Compliance and EEO records 11.Contractor's Payrolls 12.Final Report 13.Materials Certificate 14,DBE Records Construction Records and Accounting Procedures: The essential elements of the system are as follows: 1. It must contain a file of source documents supporting payments made to contractors. Source documents will clearly record: • The specified portion of work it applies; • The necessary measurements and/or calculations by which the quantity is determined; and • The name of the individual who made the determination. 2. The calculations on source documents will be checked in accordance with good engineering practice. 3. Weighmaster certificates are source documents and must be validated at the point of delivery. 4. It will contain a separate item sheet for each contract item and each appropriate accounting category such as; adjustments of compensation; extra work payments; payments for materials not yet incorporated into the work; and deductions. 5. It will contain a contingency balance and anticipated changes sheet, on which the current estimated probable final cost of the work is recorded. 6. It will provide for retention of the records in accordance with the Local Agency-State Agreement. This agreement requires that records be retained by the local agency for a period of three years from the date of final payment under the project program supplement. Exhibit "A" Page 3 of 4 Labor Compliance: The administering agency is responsible to designate a labor compliance officer. We report to City's labor compliance officer, and will assist in enforcing enforce the contract provisions and that labor compliance requirements are performed and documented in the project file. Equal Employment Opportunity: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements apply to all federal-aid construction contracts and all related subcontracts of $10,000 or more. A proactive approach to ensure compliance is to discuss the requirements of the contract at the pre-construction conference. Recordkeeping: The administering agency must document contractor's compliance with the EEO requirements according to the FHWA Form 1273, Exhibit 12-E, Chapter 12 and maintain the record for three years. Reporting: The FHWA Form PR-1391 is prepared by the prime contractor and by each subcontractor if the federal-aid construction contract work exceeds $10,000. It is the responsibility of the administering agency to ensure that the prime and subcontractors complete the form accurately and timely. The administering agency must review, countersign and submit the PR-1391 to the DLAE by August 25 of each year. Failure to submit the report form in a timely manner may result in sanctions and/or a process review.
