City to audit Records as set forth in this Section, Contractor and its subcontractors hereby waive 
any rights to keep such Records confidential. For the purpose of evaluating or verifying such 
actual or claimed costs or units expended, the City shall have access to said Records, even if

obligations set forth in this Agreement as may lawfully be made from funds appropriated and 
budgeted for that purpose during the City’s then current fiscal year. The City’s obligations under 
this Agreement are current expenses subject to the “budget law” and the unfettered legislative 
discretion of the City concerning budgeted purposes and appropriation of funds. Should the City 
elect not to appropriate and budget funds to pay its Agreement obligations, this Agreement shall 
be deemed terminated at the end of the then-current fiscal year term for which such funds were 
appropriated and budgeted for such purpose and the City shall be relieved of any subsequent 
obligation under this Agreement. The parties agree that the City has no obligation or duty of good

4 
faith to budget or appropriate the payment of the City’s obligations set forth in this Agreement 
in any budget in any fiscal year other than the fiscal year in which this Agreement is executed and 
delivered. The City shall be the sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds 
for its obligations under this Agreement. The City shall keep Contractor informed as to the 
availability of funds for this Agreement. The obligation of the City to make any payment pursuant 
to this Agreement is not a general obligation or indebtedness of the City.  Contractor hereby 
waives any and all rights to bring any claim against the City from or relating in any way to the 
City’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to this section. 
10.

the terms of this Agreement, any City-approved Purchase Orders, the Job Order Contract, and 
invoices, the documents shall govern in the order listed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
and in conformity with Section 2 above, unauthorized exceptions, conditions, limitations, or 
provisions in conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the Job Order Contract (collectively, 
the “Unauthorized Conditions”), other than the City’s project-specific requirements, are 
expressly declared void and shall be of no force and effect. Acceptance by the City of any 
Purchase Order or invoice containing any such Unauthorized Conditions or failure to demand full 
compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or under the Job Order 
Contract shall not alter such terms and conditions or relieve Contractor from, nor be construed 
or deemed a waiver of, its requirements and obligations in the performance of this Agreement. 
11.

City shall be afforded all of the rights and privileges afforded to City of Gilbert, Arizona, and shall

indemnifications afforded to the Lead Public Agency to the extent provided under the Job Order 
Contract, and such insurance coverage and indemnifications shall inure and apply with equal 
effect to the City under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the Contractor’s obligation 
to provide the indemnification and insurance. In any event, the Contractor shall indemnify, 
defend and hold harmless the City and each council member, officer, employee or agent thereof 
(the City and any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from and against 
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, 
reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to which any such 
Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever (“Claims”), 
insofar as such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out of, or are caused by or 
based upon the negligent acts, intentional misconduct, errors, mistakes or omissions, in 
connection with the work or services of the Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, or any 
tier of subcontractor in the performance of this Agreement.
