obligation, to represent Service Provider or be present at any deposition, hearing or
similar proceeding. Service Provider agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide
City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by
Service Provider. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean
the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
SECTION 16. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Indemnification for Professional Liability. Where the law establishes a
professional standard of care for Service Provider's services, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, Service Provider shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless
City and any and all of its officials, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from
and against any and all liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration

costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys fees and
costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees) arise out of, are a
RTV ft4
838-6958-3880 v3

wrongful act, error or omission of Service Provider, or by any individual or entity for which
Service Provider is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees
or sub -contractors of Service Provider, in the performance of professional services under
this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification for Other than Professional Liability. Other than in the

Provider shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its
employees, officials and agents from and against any liability (including liability for claims,

proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or
threatened, including attorneys fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and
expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any
way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Service

executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section
from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or
on behalf of Service Provider in the performance of this Agreement naming the
Indemnified Parties as additional indemnities. In the event Service Provider fails to obtain
such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Service Provider agrees to be
fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor
compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in
no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend
City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Service Provider
and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section.
(d) Limitation of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision of this section
to the contrary, design professionals are required to defend and indemnify the City only
to the extent permitted by Civil Code Section 2782.8, which limits the liability of a design
professional to claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings,
regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs that arise out of, pertain to, or relate
to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the design professional. The term
'design professional," as defined in Section 2782.8, is limited to licensed architects,
licensed landscape architects, registered professional engineers, professional land
surveyors, and the business entities that offer such services in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the California Business and Professions Code.
(e) City's Negligence. The provisions of this section do not apply to claims
occurring as a result of City's sole negligence. The provisions of this section shall not
release City from liability arising from gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of City
or any and all of its officials, employees and agents.
SECTION 17. INSURANCE.
Service Provider agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the
term of this Agreement the insurance policies set forth in Exhibit "C" "Insurance" and made
RIV 4
4838-6958-3880 v3

form and content. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved
n writing by the City Manager. Service Provider agrees to provide City with copies of
required policies upon request.
SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT.
The expertise and experience of Service Provider are material considerations for
this Agreement. City has an interest in the qualifications and capability of the persons and
entities who will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Service Provider under
this Agreement. In recognition of that interest, Service Provider shall not assign or transfer
this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Service
Provider's duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the City. Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and shall constitute
a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in
equity, including termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 "Termination of
Agreement." City acknowledges, however, that Service Provider, in the performance of
its duties pursuant to this Agreement, may utilize subcontractors.
SECTION 19. CONTINUITY OF PERSONNEL.
Service Provider shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the stability and
continuity of Service Provider's staff and subcontractors, if any, assigned to perform the
Services. Service Provider shall notify City of any changes in Service Provider's staff and
sub -contractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services prior to and during any such
performance.
SECTION 20. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.

giving thirty (30) days written notice of termination to Service Provider. In the event such
notice is given, Service Provider shall cease immediately all work in progress.
(b) Service Provider may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time upon
thirty (30) days written notice of termination to City.
(c) If either Service Provider or City fail to perform any material obligation under
this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedies, either Service Provider, or City
may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice.
(d) Upon termination of this Agreement by either Service Provider or City, all
property belonging exclusively to City which is in Service Provider's possession shall be
returned to City. Service Provider shall furnish to City a final invoice for work performed
and expenses incurred by Service Provider, prepared as set forth in Section 4
"Compensation and Method of Payment" of this Agreement. This final invoice shall be
reviewed and paid in the same manner as set forth in Section 4 "Compensation and
Method of Payment" of this Agreement.
SECTION 21. DEFAULT.
In the event that Service Provider is in default under the terms of this Agreement,
the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Service Provider
RN #4838-6958-3880 v3
for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to
Service Provider of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include
the timeframe in which Service Provider 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 Service Provider is in default, the
City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on
the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or
all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Service Provider does not
cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under
Section 20 "Termination of Agreement." Any failure on the part of the City to give notice
of the Service Provider'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.
SECTION 22. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.
Service Provider shall not be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if
any, caused by delay in performance or failure to perform due to causes beyond the
control of Service Provider. Such causes include, but are not limited to, acts of God, acts
of the public enemy, acts of federal, state or local governments, acts of City, court orders,
fires, floods, epidemics, strikes, embargoes, and unusually severe weather. The term and
price of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted for any delays due to such causes.
SECTION 23. COOPERATION BY CITY.
All public information, data, reports, records, and maps as are existing and
