any of its political subdivisions, or any individual or type of
organization that transacts business in the State of Arizona, or that has
a license issued by an agency in the state and that employs one or more
employees in the State. (See A.R.S. 23-211) Therefore, in signing or
performing this Contract, the County fully understands that:

Any breach of that warranty is material and is subject to
penalties up to and including immediate termination of the

inspect the records relating to an employee of the County or any of
its subcontractors who works on the contract to ensure compliance

which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, in delivering
contract services.

Each party (as 'Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the other party (as "Indemniteeff) from and against any and all claims, losses,
liability, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees)
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Claims') arising out of bodily
injury of any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the

4
purpose of receiving or depositing funds into program accounts or issuing
financial documents, checks or other instruments of payment for program costs,
shall evidence fidelity bonding coverage in favor of the City in the amount of
FIFTY THOUSAND ($50,000) DOLLARS.
9. NON-WAIVER OF LIABILITY
The City of Phoenix, as a public entity supported by tax monies, in execution
of its public trust, cannot agree to waive any lawful or legitimate right to

The City reserves the right to disqualify the County on the basis of any real
or apparent conflict of interest that is disclosed by any proposal submitted or
any other data available to the City. This disqualification is at the sole
discretion of the City. Any proposer submitting a proposal or contractor
herein, waives both any right to object now or at any future time, before any
body or agency, including but not limited to, the City Council of the City of
Phoenix, or any court, any objections to the exercise of this right or

is any outstanding obligation due the City and direct that any such obligation
be offset against payment due the County.

11
Screening") at the County's sole cost and expense as set forth in this
Section. The Background Screening provided by the County shall comply with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations. The County further agrees that the
Background Screening required in this Section is necessary to preserve and
protect public health, safety and welfare. The Background Screening
requirements set forth in this Section are the minimum requirements for this

prudent and necessary measures to further preserve and protect public health,
safety and welfare when providing services under this Agreement.
B. Background Screening Requirements and Criteria. Because of the varied
types of services performed, the City has established three levels of risk and
associated Background Screening. The risk level and Background Screening
required for this Agreement is Maximum Risk.
i. Minimum Risk and Background Screening ("Minimum Risk")
A minimum risk Background Screening shall be performed when the
information systems; or (ii) will not work with vulnerable adults
or children; or (iii) when access to City facilities is escorted
by City workers. The Background Screening for minimum risk shall
consist of the screening required by Arizona Revised Statutes §5
41-4401 and following to verify legal Arizona worker status.
Standard Risk and Background Screening ("Standard Risk")
A standard risk Background Screening shall be performed when the
Contract Worker's work assignment will: (i) require a badge or key
for access to City facilities; or (ii) allow any access to
sensitive, confidential records, personal identifying information
or restricted City information; or (iii) allow unescorted access
to City facilities during normal and non-business hours. The
Background Screening for this standard risk level shall include
the Background Screening required for the Minimum Risk level and a
background check for real identity/legal name, and shall include
felony and misdemeanor records from any county in the United
States, the state of Arizona, plus any other jurisdiction where
the Contract Worker has lived at any time in the preceding seven
(7) years from the Contract Worker's proposed date of hire.
Maximum Risk and Background Screening ("Maximum Risk")
A maximum risk Background Screening shall be performed when the
Contract Worker's work assignment will: (i) have any contact with
vulnerable people such as children, youth, elderly, or individuals
with disabilities; or (ii) have any responsibility for the receipt
or payment of City funds or control of inventories, assets, or
records that are at risk of misappropriation; or (iii) have
unescorted access to City data centers, money rooms, or high-value
equipment rooms; or (iv) have access to private residences; or (v)
have access to Homeland Defense Bureau identified critical
infrastructure sites/facilities. The Background Screening for this
maximum risk level shall include the Background Screening required

Contract Workers who work directly with children or vulnerable
adults are also subject to fingerprint verification through the
Arizona Department of Public Safety as mandated by Phoenix City
12
Code, § 2-45.6.
C. Contractor Certification; City Approval of Maximum Risk Background
Screening. By executing this Contract, the County certifies and warrants that
the County has read the Background Screening requirements and criteria in this
Section, understands them and that all Background Screening information
furnished to the City is accurate and current. Also, by executing this
Contract, the County further certifies and warrants that the County has
satisfied all such Background Screening requirements for the Minimum Risk and
Standard Risk Background Screenings as required. In addition, for Maximum Risk
Background Screening, the County shall furnish to Verna Elmer, Neighborhood
Services Dept. for the City's review and approval such Background Screenings
for any Contract Worker considered for performing services under this Contract
where human safety or facility security is classified as a Maximum Risk level.
The subject Contract Worker shall not apply for the appropriate City of
Phoenix identification and access badge or keys until the County has received
the City's written acceptance of the subject Contract Worker's Maximum Risk
Background Screening. The City may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject
