AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals noted above, the
mutual covenants and conditions below, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Parties agree as follows:

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Contractor shall do and perform or cause
to be done and performed in a good workmanlike manner, the Work set forth in
accordance with and as more fully described in the Contract Documents.

2. COMPENSATION AND PAYMENTS: The total amount payable by the
City to the Contractor is an amount not to exceed Five Hundred Forty Three
Thousand Nine Hundred One Dollars ($543,991) (the “Contract Sum”) for the
performance of the Work under the Contract Documents, except for changes
authorized by properly executed change orders. All contracts will be operable
for their full term at the rates quoted in the initial bid proposal. Upon notice that
the Work is ready for final inspection or acceptance, a City representative shall
promptly cause an inspection to be made. Payment to Contractor on the basis
of a certified and approved estimate of the Work performed during the
preceding calendar month under Contact Documents may include payment for
material and equipment, but to ensure the proper performance of such
Contract, City shall retain ten percent of the amount of each estimate until final
completion and acceptance of all material, equipment and Work covered by the
Contract Documents. An estimate of the Work submitted shall be deemed
approved and certified for payment seven (7) calendar days after the date of
submission unless before that time the City prepares and issues a specific
written finding setting forth those items in detail in the estimate of the Work that
are not approved for payment under Contract Documents. City may withhold an
amount from the payment sufficient to pay the expenses City reasonably expects
to incur in correcting the deficiency set forth in the written finding. Payments
shall be paid on or before fourteen (14) calendar days after the estimate of the
Work is certified and approved. The estimate of the Work shall be deemed
received by City on submission to any person designated by City for the
submission, review or approval of the estimate of the Work. Final payment shall
not become due until the Contractor submits to the City all required lien waivers,
releases and any other data establishing payment or satisfaction of all
Contractor’s obligations. If any subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or
waiver required by City, Contractor may furnish a bond to indemnify City against
any such lien. If any such lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made,
Contractor shall refund to City all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay
in discharging such liens, including all costs and reasonable attorney fees.

3. TERM: The Term of this Agreement shall commence on September
2, 2026 and end on December 31, 2026. This Agreement may be extended upon
mutual written consent of the Parties provided that any amendment shall be
executed by an authorized signatory of the Parties and provide in writing the
amended term of the Agreement and, if applicable, a specified dollar amount of
additional payment to be owed by City to Contractor.

any additional charge or cost to City whatsoever. The Work will be of good
quality, free from faults and defects, and in conformance with the Contract
Documents.

its final acceptance by City (the “Warranty Period”), ordinary wear and tear and
unusual abuse or neglect excepted. Any omission on the part of City to
condemn defective work or materials at the time of construction shall not be
deemed an acceptance and Contractor will be required at its sole cost to
correct defective work or materials before final acceptance. If City notifies
Contractor of defective labor, workmanship, or materials during the Warranty
Period, Contractor shall begin correcting the defect within fourteen (14)
calendar days of receipt of written notice from City. Such work shall include the

the special provisions of the Contract Documents, Contractor shall provide or
secure from the appropriate subcontractor or supplier such warranties
addressed to and in favor of City and deliver same to City prior to final
acceptance of the Work. Delivery of such warranties shall not relieve

addition to and not in limitation of any other warrantees, guarantees or remedies
required by law, and shall survive the expiration of this Agreement for the time

licenses current. Further, Contractor agrees to pay all applicable privilege and
use taxes that are applicable to the activities, products and services provided

this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement.

14. SUBCONTRACTORS: All subcontractors chosen by Contractor will
be subject to City’s approval. All subcontractors shall be identified by

companies duly licensed, possessing a current A.M. Best, Inc. Rating of B++6, or
approved unlicensed in the State of Arizona with policies and forms satisfactory
to City.

All insurance required by this Agreement shall be maintained in full force and
effect until the Services are accepted by the City. Failure to do so may, at the
sole discretion of City, constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
Contractor’s insurance shall be primary insurance as respects the City, and any
insurance or self-insurance maintained by City shall not contribute to it.

Any failure to comply with the claim reporting provisions of the insurance
policies or any breach of an insurance policy warranty shall not affect coverage
afforded under the insurance policies to protect City.

The insurance policies, except Workers’ Compensation, shall contain a waiver
of transfer rights of recovery (subrogation) against City, its agents, officers,
officials and employees for any claims arising out of Contractor’s acts, errors,
mistakes, omissions, work or service.

be applicable with respect to the coverage provided to City under such policies.
Contractor shall be solely responsible for the deductible and/or self-retention

6

deductibles or self-insured retentions by a surety bond or an irrevocable and
unconditional letter of credit.

The insurance policies required by this Agreement, except Workers’
Compensation, shall name City, its elected officials, agents, officers, and
employees as Additional Insured Parties.

Contractor shall expressly bind any subcontractors, or any other lower tier
subcontractors, used in the performance of any aspect of the Services, to the
insurance requirements in this Agreement, making such obligations applicable
to the other subcontractor to the same extent as it is applicable to Contractor.
The purpose of this provision is to require any lower tier subcontractor,
regardless of level, to provide insurance and indemnity required by this
Agreement.

the Term Commercial General Liability insurance with a limit of not less than
$1,000,000 for each occurrence with a $2,000,000 Products/Completed

injury, products and completed operations and blanket contractual coverage
including, but not limited to, the liability assumed under the indemnification
provisions of this Agreement, which coverage will be at least as broad as that on
Insurance Service Office, Inc. Policy Form No. CG 00011093, or the equivalent
thereof.

contain a sunset provision or commutation clause, nor any provision which
would serve to limit third party action over claims.

B, CG 20101185, or the equivalent thereof, and shall include coverage for
Contractor’s operations and products and completed operations.

If Contractor sublets any part of the Services, Contractor shall purchase and

Contractor’s Protective Liability insurance policy for bodily injury and property
damage, including death, which may arise in the prosecution of the Services.
Coverage shall be on an occurrence basis with a limit of not less than
$2,000,000 per occurrence, and the policy shall be issued by the same

7

limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000 each
occurrence with respect to Contractor’s owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles
assigned to or used in performance of the Services. Coverage will be at least as
broad as coverage code 1, “any auto”, (Insurance Service Office, Inc. Policy
Form CA 00011293, or the equivalent thereof). Such insurance shall include
coverage for loading and off-loading hazards. If hazardous substances,
materials or wastes are to be transported, federal mandatory motor carrier
safety (“MCS”) 90 endorsement shall be included and $5,000,000 per accident
limits for bodily injury and property damage shall apply.

Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by federal and state
statutes having jurisdiction over Contractor’s employees engaged in the
performance of the Services; and Employer’s Liability insurance of not less than

which requires every employer to be insured against liability for workers’
compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the

commencing the performance of the Services of this Agreement.”

If Contractor has no employees for whom Workers’ Compensation insurance is
required by federal or state statutes, Contractor shall submit a declaration or
affidavit to City so stating and covenanting to obtain such insurance if and when
Contractor employs any employees subject to coverage.

16.5 Certificates of Insurance. Prior to commencing the Services,
Contractor shall furnish City with Certificates of Insurance, or formal
endorsements as required by the Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurer(s),
as evidence that policies providing the required coverages, conditions and
limits required by this Agreement are in full force and effect. City shall not be
obligated, however, to review same or to advise Contractor of any deficiencies
in such policies and endorsements, and such receipt shall not relieve Contractor
from, or be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to insist on strict fulfillment of
Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement.

The form of the certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be subject to
the approval of the Apache Junction City Attorney’s Office, shall comply with the
terms of this Agreement. Policies or certificates and completed forms of City’s
Additional Insured Endorsement (or a substantially equivalent insurance
company form acceptable to the City Attorney) evidencing the coverage
required by this Agreement shall be delivered to City Attorney, City of Apache

8

Junction, 300 East Superstition Boulevard, Apache Junction, AZ 85119. The

“Solely as respects work done by or on behalf of the named insured for
the City of Apache Junction, it is agreed that the City of Apache Junction
and its elected officials, officers, agents and employees are added as
additional insured parties under this policy.”

In the event any insurance policies required by this Agreement are written on a
“claims made” basis, coverage shall extend for two (2) years past completion
and acceptance of Contractor’s work or services and as evidenced by annual
Certificates of Insurance.

Contractor shall require its insurers to provide City thirty (30) calendar days’
prior written notice of any nonrenewal, cancellation, or material change in the
coverage under such policy reducing coverage to below the amounts required
by this Agreement. If a policy does expire during the life of the Agreement, a
renewal certificate must be sent to City thirty (30) calendar days prior to the
expiration date.

Contractor issued after execution of the Contract authorizing a change in the
Work and setting forth the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum

the applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall
proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order. A Change
Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor’s agreement therewith,
including the adjustment in the Contract Sum and Progress Schedule or the
method for determining them.

City and Contractor each bind themselves, their partners, successors, assigns
and legal representatives to the other Party and to the partners, successors,

loss is directly attributable to the negligent acts or omissions of City or by

negligence of the Contractor. City shall make claims regarding all damage or
loss to Contractor within a reasonable time after the first observance of such

and remedies available under the Contract shall be in addition to and not a
limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or
available by law. No action or failure to act by City or Contractor shall constitute
a waiver of any right or duty afforded to any of them under the Contract, nor
shall any action or failure to act constitute an approval of or an acquiescence to
any breaches under the Contract except as may be specifically agreed to by the
Parties in writing.

24. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither City nor Contractor, as the case may be,
shall be considered not to have performed its obligations under this Agreement

control and without its fault or negligence or failure to comply with applicable
laws, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, fires, floods, epidemics,
pandemics and related executive orders, quarantine, restrictions, embargoes,
labor disputes, and unusually severe weather or the delays of subcontractors or
materialmen due to such causes, acts of a public enemy, war, terrorism or act of
terror (including but not limited to bio-terrorism or eco-terrorism), nuclear
radiation, blockade, insurrection, riot, labor strike or interruption, extortion,
sabotage, or similar occurrence or any exercise of the power of eminent domain
of any governmental body on behalf of any public entity, or a declaration of
moratorium or similar hiatus (whether permanent or temporary) by any public

10

entity directly affecting the obligations under this Agreement. In no event will
Enforced Delay include any delay resulting from unavailability for any reason of
labor shortages, or the unavailability for any reason of particular contractors,
consultants, subcontractors, vendors or investors desired by Contractor in
connection with the obligations under this Agreement. Contractor agrees that
Contractor alone will bear all risks of delay which are not Enforced Delay. In the
event of the occurrence of any such Enforced Delay, the time or times for
performance of the obligations of the Party claiming delay shall be extended for
a period of the Enforced Delay; provided, however, that the Party seeking the
benefit of the provisions of this Section 24 shall, within thirty (30) calendar days
after such Party knows or should know of any such Enforced Delay, first notify
the other Party of the specific delay in writing and claim the right to an extension
for the period of the Enforced Delay; and provided further that in no event shall a
period of Enforced Delay exceed ninety (90) calendar days.

calendar days written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested of City’s
intent to terminate. Contractor shall have ten (10) calendar days to cure the
failure to the satisfaction of City. City may terminate this Agreement or a portion
thereof if conditions encountered during the progress of the Work make it
impossible or impracticable to proceed with the Work. If City terminates this
Agreement for reasons of default by Contractor, the amount of compensation

Work completed and the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for
anticipated profits or unperformed services.

Contractor and supersede all prior negotiations, representations or
agreements, either express or implied, written or oral. It is mutually understood
and agreed that no alteration or variation of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the Parties.
Written and signed amendments shall automatically become part of the Contract
and shall supersede any inconsistent provision therein; provided, however, that
any apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if possible, by construing the
provisions as mutually complementary and supplementary.

28. SEVERABILITY: City and Contractor each believe that the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all
applicable laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this
Agreement is declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring City
to do any act in violation of any applicable laws, including any constitutional
provision, law, regulation, or city code), such provision shall be deemed severed
from this Agreement and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and
effect; provided that this Agreement shall retroactively be deemed reformed to
the extent reasonably possible in such a manner so that the reformed agreement
(and any related agreements effective as of the same date) provide essentially
the same rights and benefits (economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if such
severance and reformation were not required. Unless prohibited by applicable
laws, the Parties further shall perform all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or
deliver all amendments, instruments and consents necessary to accomplish and
to give effect to the purposes of this Agreement, as reformed.

29. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: Time is of the essence with respect to
all provisions in this Agreement. Any delay in performance by either Party shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

30. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: The Contract is subject to, and may be
terminated by City in accordance with, the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511.

31. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH CONTRACTORS WHO

A.R.S. §§ 35-393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities
from contracting with Contractors who engage in boycotts of the State of Israel.
Should Contractor engage in any such boycott against the State of Israel, this
Agreement shall be deemed automatically terminated by operation of law. Any
such boycott is a material breach of this Agreement.

§ 35-394, Contractor hereby certifies and agrees that Contractor does not
currently and shall not for the duration of this Agreement use: (1) the forced

goods produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic
of China, and/or (3) any suppliers, contractors or subcontractors that use the

forced labor or any services or goods produced by the forced labor of ethnic
Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China. If Contractor becomes aware during
the Term that Contractor is not in compliance with this Section 32, then
Contractor shall notify the City within five (5) business days after becoming
aware of such noncompliance. if Contractor does not provide the City with
written certification that Contractor has remedied such noncompliance within
ninety (90) calendar days after notifying the City of such noncompliance, this
Agreement shall terminate, except that if the Agreement termination date
occurs before the end of such ninety (90) day remedy period, this Agreement
shall terminate automatically.

33. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Contractor
understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with
Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug
Free Workplace Act of 1989 to the services performed under this Agreement.

As required by A.R.S. § 41-4401, Contractor hereby warrants its compliance
with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and
A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Contractor further warrants that after hiring an employee,
Contractor will verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the E-
Verify program. If Contractor uses any subcontractors in performance of
services, subcontractors shall warrant their compliance with all federal
immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-
214(A), and subcontractors shall further warrant that after hiring an employee,
such subcontractor verifies the employment eligibility of the employee through
the E-Verify program. A breach of this warranty shall be deemed a material
breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and including
termination of this Agreement. Contractor is subject to a penalty of $100 per
day for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000 per
day for the third violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement after
the third violation. Contractor shall not be deemed in material breach of this
Agreement if the Contractor and/or subcontractors establish compliance with
the employment verification provisions of Sections 274A and 274B of the federal
Immigration and Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in
A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Contractor or subcontractor employee who works under this Agreement to
ensure that the Contractor or subcontractor is complying with the warranty.
Any inspection will be conducted after reasonable notice and at reasonable
times. If state law is amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph consistent
with state law without effectuating an official amendment to this Agreement.
Email notification of the modification would be sufficient notice.
