This Hold Harmless Agreement (“Agreement”) entered into this _..._ day of , 2022, between the City of Carson (hereinafter referred to as “User") and the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System Authority (hereinafter referred to as "LA-RICS" or the "Authority").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the User is a Member Agency, Subscriber, or Affiliate of LA-RICS; and
WHEREAS, the User is requesting the Authority and its staff who are on loan from the County of Los Angeles (County) to program, diagnose, troubleshoot, and/or repair the User's own or loaned public safety radio(s) and/or radio accessories; in an amount of one hundred twenty (120) portable radios: and
WHEREAS, the Authority and/or the County is willing to perform the Service requested by the User, with User to make requests as they pertain to any particular radios or radio accessories by completing and submitting to the Authority the Request for Equipment Service Form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”: and
WHEREAS, in exchange for valuable consideration, the User shall hold harmless the Authority and its Member Agencies, including the County, from any claims and/or litigation arising out of the Authority's performance of Services rendered, on the terms set forth in this Agreement; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, User and Authority hereby agree as follows:
1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS
The Recitals contained herein are contractual in nature and are not merely recitals, and are incorporated as terms of this Agreement.
2. SCOPE OF WORK
2.1 During the term of this Agreement, User may deliver User Equipment on loan to User as covered by a separately executed Memorandum of Understanding for Use of LA-RICS User Equipment, or User may deliver to Authority its public safety radios and accessories consisting of portable radios, mobile radios, and base station radios (collectively "User Radio(s)"), for programming, diagnosis, troubleshooting, and/or repair ("Service"). Such User Radios must be for use on the Authority's Land Mobile Radio (LMR) System.
2.2 The Authority has the right, in its sole discretion, to determine what User Radio(s) will be accepted for Service, which may include programming,
troubleshooting, and/or repair by the Authority.
CONDITION(S) OF USE
3.1
3.2
3.3
3.4
3.5
Exhibit “A” (Radio Equipment List) shall identify all the User Radio(s) and/or radio accessories that the User and Authority agree to have the Authority perform Service on.
In any case where a User discovers that its User Radio is not working properly after being serviced by the Authority and/or the County, such User Radio shall be immediately removed from service and tagged for repair.
If the User finds its User Radio is not functioning properly after being serviced by the Authority and/or the County, the User can return the User Radio to the Authority and/or the County for additional diagnosis and, if necessary, supplementary repair and programming.
In the event that the User elects to utilize the Authority's Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Early Deployment System, except as otherwise provided herein, the User will be provided twenty-four (24) hour a day access to use the LMR Early Deployment System in an encrypted mode with a minimum of two (2) talk groups. The User Radios (portable radios) will be pre-programmed by the Authority for use on the LMR Early Deployment System, which will include the User's current radio channels as well as the LMR Early Deployment System channels. Additional LMR Early Deployment System talk groups may be available upon written request to the Authority. User understands and acknowledges that the LMR Early Deployment System is part of a larger LA-RICS LMR System that is currently in the design and implementation phases. For this reason, the LMR Early Deployment System may be taken down at any time with little advance notice. In the event the LMR Early Deployment System must be taken down for any reason, the Authority will attempt to notify User of such shut down as soon as possible. Upon Final System Acceptance of the LA-RICS LMR System, the LMR Early Deployment System will be merged with the LA-RICS' LMR System. When that time approaches, the portable radios issued may require re-programming in order to continue to be operable on the LA-RICS
LMR System.
User enters into this Agreement with the understanding and acknowledgement that the Authority's LMR Early Deployment System may not have the same radio coverage as User's existing regularly assigned radio channels. User agrees that it will inform all of its users on the LMR Early Deployment System of this and will adjust its operations accordingly to account for this.
3.6
3./
User enters into this Agreement with the understanding and acknowledgement that the emergency trigger on the User Radios used on the LMR Early Deployment System may be programmed to function on the User's existing radio system. User understands and agrees that in the event that its users operating on the LMR Early Deployment System need to call for emergency assistance, they shall immediately switch channels to the User's emergency dispatch channel and state their emergency. User acknowledges that it understands that there are no dispatchers monitoring any of the LMR Early Deployment System radio channels at this time.
User enters into this Agreement with the understanding and
acknowledgement that the User Radios used on the LMR Early Deployment system must be checked by its users to ensure that their normally assigned dispatch channels and emergency channels are working properly prior to use. User understands and agrees that its users of the LMR Early Deployment System shall familiarize themselves with the use of the User Radios, including the ability to switch to emergency or dispatch channels. User also understands and acknowledges that no radio conversations conducted on the LMR Early Deployment System will be recorded.
a, CONSIDERATION
This Agreement is granted on a gratis basis in furtherance of public safety goals. Consideration for this Agreement is a parties’ full and faithful compliance with the mutual promises, covenants, terms, and conditions set forth herein. In the future, should the Authority require payment for such Services, this Agreement will be amended accordingly, subject to approval of User and Authority.
