the Vendor is encouraged to hire City residents to fill vacant positions at all levels.  Vendor agrees 
that, upon commencement of the Services to be performed under this Agreement, key personnel 
shall not be removed or replaced without prior written notice to the City.  If key personnel are

to the requirements of this Agreement and to the professional standards in the field. 
10. 
Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Vendor shall 
indemnify 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”) to the extent that such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by the 
negligent acts, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the Vendor, its officers, employees, 
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Vendor’s work or services in the 
performance of this Agreement.  The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set 
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section. 
11. 
Insurance. 
11.1 
General. 
a. 
Insurer Qualifications.  Without limiting any obligations or liabilities 
of Vendor, Vendor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, hereinafter stipulated 
minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Arizona

3 
pursuant to A.R.S. § 20-206, with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms 
satisfactory to the City.  Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in 
termination of this Agreement at the City’s option. 
b. 
No Representation of Coverage Adequacy.  By requiring insurance 
herein, the City does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect Vendor.  
The City reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies and/or endorsements 
cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so.  Failure to demand such evidence of full 
compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement or failure to identify any 
insurance deficiency shall not relieve Vendor from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its 
obligation to maintain the required insurance at all times during the performance of this 
Agreement. 
c. 
Additional Insured.  All insurance coverage and self-insured 
retention or deductible portions, except Workers’ Compensation insurance and Professional 
Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name, to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims 
arising out of the performance of this Agreement, the City, its agents, representatives, officers, 
directors, officials and employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective 
coverage sections of this Agreement. 
d. 
Coverage Term.  All insurance required herein shall be maintained 
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms of this 
Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the City, unless 
specified otherwise in this Agreement. 
e. 
Primary Insurance.  Vendor’s insurance shall be primary insurance 
with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the City as an Additional 
Insured. 
f. 
Waiver.  All policies, except for Professional Liability, including 
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery (subrogation) 
against the City, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and employees for any claims arising 
out of the work or services of Vendor.  Vendor shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers 
incorporated into each policy via formal written endorsement thereto. 
g. 
Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions.  The policies set 
forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-insured 
retention amounts.  Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be applicable with 
respect to the policy limits provided to the City.  Vendor shall be solely responsible for any such 
deductible or self-insured retention amount. 
h. 
Use of Subcontractors.  If any work under this Agreement is 
subcontracted in any way, Vendor shall execute written agreements with its subcontractors 
containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and insurance requirements 
set forth herein protecting the City and Vendor.  Vendor shall be responsible for executing any 
agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining certificates of insurance verifying the 
insurance requirements.

i. 
Evidence of Insurance.  Prior to commencing any work or services 
under this Agreement, Vendor will provide the City with suitable evidence of insurance in the 
form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of the insurance policies 
as required by this Agreement, issued by Vendor’s insurance insurer(s) as evidence that policies 
are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein and provide the required coverages, 
conditions and limits of coverage specified in this Agreement and that such coverage and 
provisions are in full force and effect.  Confidential information such as the policy premium may 
be redacted from the declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions 
do not alter any of the information required by this Agreement.  The City shall reasonably rely 
upon the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence 
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the insurance 
requirements or obligations of this Agreement.  In the event any insurance policy required by this 
Agreement is written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend for two years past 
completion of the Services and the City’s acceptance of the Vendor’s work or services and as 
evidenced by annual certificates of insurance.  If any of the policies required by this Agreement 
expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Vendor’s responsibility to forward renewal 
certificates and declaration page(s) to the City 30 days prior to the expiration date.  All certificates 
of insurance and declarations required by this Agreement shall be identified by referencing the 
RFQ number and title or this Agreement.  A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all 
certificates or declarations received without the appropriate RFQ number and title or a reference 
to this Agreement, as applicable.  Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) 
of the insurance policies submitted without referencing the appropriate RFQ number and title or 
a reference to the Agreement, as applicable,  will be subject to rejection and may be returned or 
discarded.  Certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) shall specifically include the

as an employee or agent of the City.  Vendor, its employees and subcontractors are not entitled 
to workers’ compensation benefits from the City.  The City does not have the authority to 
supervise or control the actual work of Vendor, its employees or subcontractors.  The Vendor, 
and not the City, shall determine the time of its performance of the services provided under this 
Agreement so long as Vendor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope of Work as set forth in

from practicing its profession elsewhere.  City and Vendor do not intend to nor will they combine 
business operations under this Agreement. 
14.2 
Laws and Regulations.  The Vendor shall keep fully informed and shall at 
all times during the performance of its duties under this Agreement ensure that it and any person 
for whom the Vendor is responsible remains in compliance with all rules, regulations, ordinances, 
statutes or laws affecting the Services, including the following: (a) existing and future City and 
County ordinances and regulations, (b) existing and future state and federal laws and (c) existing

the Vendor. 
14.4 
Provisions Required by Law.  Each and every provision of law and any 
clause required by law to be in the Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were 
included herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not 
correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, the Agreement will promptly be 
physically amended to make such insertion or correction. 
14.5 
Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent 
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not

8 
affect any other provision or application of the Agreement which may remain in effect without 
the invalid provision or application. 
14.6 
Relationship of the Parties.  It is clearly understood that each party will act 
in its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of 
the other.  An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the 
employee or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever.  The Vendor is advised that taxes 
or Social Security payments will not be withheld from any City payments issued hereunder and 
Vendor agrees to be fully and solely responsible for the payment of such taxes or any other tax 
applicable to this Agreement. 
14.7 
Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence.  This Agreement 
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous 
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked 
and superseded by this Agreement.  No representations, warranties, inducements or oral 
agreements have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any 
other contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the 
provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to 
its plain meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party 
drafting the Agreement.  The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity 
to seek and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement. 
14.8 
Assignment.  No right or interest in this Agreement shall be assigned by 
Vendor without prior, written permission of the City signed by the City Manager and no 
delegation of any duty of Vendor shall be made without prior, written permission of the City 
signed by the City Manager.  Any attempted assignment or delegation by Vendor in violation of 
this provision shall be a breach of this Agreement by Vendor. 
14.9 
Subcontracts.  No subcontract shall be entered into by the Vendor with any 
other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior written 
approval of the City.  The Vendor is responsible for performance under this Agreement whether 
or not subcontractors are used. 
14.10 Rights and Remedies.  No provision in this Agreement shall be construed, 
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the City of any existing or future right and/or remedy 
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement.  The failure of 
the City to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to 
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or 
the City’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Vendor from any 
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a 
waiver of any right of the City to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement. 
14.11 Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event either party brings any action for any relief, 
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default 
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable

attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs and expenses, determined by the court sitting without a 
jury, which shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be 
enforced whether or not such action is prosecuted through judgment. 
14.12 Liens.  All materials or services shall be free of all liens and, if the City 
requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the City.

City for damages resulting from breach or deficiencies in performance or breach of any obligation 
under this Agreement. 
b. 
Offset for Delinquent Fees or Taxes.  The City may offset from any 
money due to the Vendor any amounts Vendor owes to the City for delinquent fees, transaction 
privilege taxes and property taxes, including any interest or penalties.
