INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT 
BETWEEN THE CITY OF PHOENIX 
AND THE CITY OF TOLLESON 
 
This Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) is entered into and made effective as of the 
date of the last signature below (“Effective Date”) by and between the City of Phoenix, an 
Arizona municipal corporation (“PHOENIX”), and the City of TOLLESON, an Arizona 
municipal corporation, (“TOLLESON”), (collectively, the “party” or “parties”. 
RECITALS 
A. 
TOLLESON wishes to obtain from PHOENIX certain maintenance and repair 
services for its public safety mobile, portable, and associated ancillary radio communications 
equipment. 
 
B. 
PHOENIX, through its Information Technology Services Department Wireless 
Communications Group (aka Radio Shop), is willing to provide such services to TOLLESON 
subject to the terms and conditions of this IGA. 
 
C. 
For their mutual benefits and in consideration of the covenants, conditions, and 
promises set forth in this IGA, the parties agree as follows. 
AGREEMENT 
1. 
Scope of Services 
 
1.1 
PHOENIX agrees to provide, and TOLLESON agrees to accept, public 
safety radio subscriber equipment maintenance and repair services (“Services”) on an as-needed 
basis for a fee as provided below. Services may include scheduled maintenance (annual 
inspection and repair) and unscheduled maintenance for out-of-warranty equipment that has 
failed or malfunctioned. PHOENIX may refuse to accept for Services equipment that PHOENIX 
deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be of non-serviceable conditions.   
 
1.2 
Unless the parties otherwise agreed in writing, PHOENIX will perform the 
Services on-site at its service center located at 2441 South 22nd Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85009-
6998, during normal business hours from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. 
TOLLESON is responsible for the costs of delivering its equipment to and retrieving the same 
from the PHOENIX service center location during normal business hours as provided above. 
After-hour or special requests for Services are available by contacting PHOENIX at (602) 262-
4444. Services performed at TOLLESON’s request that are outside normal business hours or at a 
location different than the service center listed above will incur additional overtime charges, 
including travel time. 
 
1.3 
For equipment to be supported under this IGA, TOLLESON will submit to 
PHOENIX a written service request that includes the following information for each unit.

Page 2 of 7 
 
Multiple units may be combined in a single service request, but information for each unit must 
be separately listed. 
 
• Unit make, model, serial number, and manufacturer. 
• The department using the unit. 
• Point of contact name and telephone number. 
• A unit inventory number, if known (to be assigned by PHOENIX). 
• Vehicle number for mobile equipment.  
• Programming information, such as channel number, talk group, programming 
template code, system ID, firmware version, or hardware version.  
• Any other information relating to the unit as needed for PHOENIX to perform 
the Services. 
 
1.4 
It is TOLLESON’s responsibility to ensure that equipment submitted for 
Services under this IGA operate on frequencies that are properly licensed through the Federal 
Communications Commission (“FCC”). For equipment operating on frequencies that are 
licensed through a third-party, TOLLESON shall provide PHOENIX with a signed Letter of 
Authorization from the applicable third-party showing the equipment have been properly 
licensed by the FCC to operate on the corresponding frequencies. 
 
2. 
Term of Agreement 
 
2.1 
This IGA will commence on the Effective Date and shall be renewed 
automatically each year for a one-year term, unless terminated earlier in writing by either party 
upon providing the other party with at least 60 days advanced notice.  
 
3. 
Fees, Costs, and Payment 
 
3.1 
In consideration of the Services provided by PHOENIX, TOLLESON 
agrees to pay PHOENIX for services rendered on a time and material basis for each unit repaired 
in accordance with fees stated in Exhibit A. Labor rates are subject to change without prior 
notice. Labor rates do not include the costs of any parts or materials provided by PHOENIX in 
conjunction with the Services. In addition to labor, TOLLESON will reimburse PHOENIX at 
fair market price without markups for the costs of any parts or materials necessary to return the 
unit to fully operational status.

PHOENIX represents and warrants that Services will be performed in a

pursuant to this section, PHOENIX will reperform the Services at no additional costs to 
TOLLESON to correct the deficiencies within a reasonable time, taking into account the 
availability of PHOENIX resources, the priorities of Services for other equipment, and the 
potential operational impact to TOLLESON. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS 
SECTION, PHOENIX MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY 
KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED 
PURSUANT TO THIS IGA, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED

equipment.

out of the performance or nonperformance of Services pursuant to this IGA, including any cause 
of action in contract, tort, or strict liability, shall not exceed the amount of fees paid or payable 
by TOLLESON for the Services giving rise to the claims. In no event shall either party be liable 
to the other party for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages of 
whatever kind and however caused, even if the party has been advised of the possibility of such 
potential loss or damage.

its officials, officers, agents, servants, and employees (“Indemnitee”), from any and all claims, 
demands, suits, actions proceedings, losses, costs and damages of every kind, including 
reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be made or brought against Indemnitee for loss or damage 
to property, bodily injury, or death (“Claim”) to the extent that such Claim is the result of any 
error, omission, or negligent act of Indemnitor or its officials, officers, agents, servants, 
employees, or representatives for which Indemnitor is legally liable, arising out of or incident to

Page 4 of 7 
 
the performance of this IGA, except for occurrences for which Indemnitee has sole 
responsibility.  
 
5.2 
As a condition to the foregoing indemnity obligations, Indemnitee will 
provide Indemnitor with prompt notice of the Claim and will reasonably cooperate with 
Indemnitor in connection with any such Claim. Indemnitor will be entitled to control the 
processing of the Claim and to defend or settle the Claim in its sole discretion with counsel of its 
own choosing.
