INSURANCE:
8.1
General Provisions. Consultant, at its own expense, shall purchase
and maintain during the Term the insurance required by this Agreement with
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.
Consultant’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 Consultant’s acts, errors, mistakes,
omissions, work or service.
The insurance policies may provide coverage which contains deductibles or self-
insured retentions. Such deductible and/or self-insured retentions shall not be
applicable with respect to the coverage provided to City under such policies.
Consultant shall be solely responsible for the deductible and/or self retention and
City, at its option, may require Consultant to secure payment of such 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 and Professional Liability, shall name City, its elected officials,
agents, officers, and employees as Additional Insured Parties.
Consultant 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 Consultant. The
3
purpose of this provision is to require any lower tier subcontractor, regardless of
level, to provide insurance and indemnity required by this Agreement.
8.2
Commercial General Liability. Consultant shall maintain throughout
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
Operations Aggregate and a $2,000,000 General Aggregate limit. The policy shall
include coverage for bodily injury, broad form property damage, personal 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.
Such policies shall contain a severability of interest provision and shall not
contain a sunset provision or commutation clause, nor any provision which would
serve to limit third party action over claims.
The Commercial General Liability additional insured endorsement shall be at
least as broad as the Insurance Service Office, Inc.’s Additional Insured, Form B,
CG 20101185, or the equivalent thereof, and shall include coverage for
Consultant’s operations and products and completed operations.
If Consultant sublets any part of the Services, Consultant shall purchase and
maintain, at all times during prosecution of the Services an Owner 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 insurance company
that issues Consultant’s Commercial General Liability insurance.
8.3
Automobile Liability. Consultant shall maintain Commercial/Business
Automobile Liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and
property damage of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence with respect to
Consultant’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.
4
8.4
Workers’
Compensation.
Consultant
shall
carry
Workers’
Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by federal and state
statutes having jurisdiction over Consultant’s employees engaged in the
performance of the Services; and Employer’s Liability insurance of not less than
$100,000 for each accident, $100,000 disease for each employee, and $500,000
disease policy limit.
By execution of this Agreement, Consultant certifies as follows:
“I am aware and understand the provisions of A.R.S. § 23-901 et seq. which
requires every employer to be insured against liability for workers’
compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter, and I will comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the Services of this Agreement.”
If Consultant has no employees for whom Workers’ Compensation insurance is
required by federal or state statutes, Consultant shall submit a declaration or
affidavit to City so stating and covenanting to obtain such insurance if and when
Consultant employs any employees subject to coverage.
8.5
Professional Liability. Consultant shall maintain Professional Liability
insurance covering acts, errors, mistakes and omissions arising out of the work
or services performed by Consultant, or any person employed by Consultant, with
a limit of not less than $1,000,000 each claim.
8.6
Certificates of Insurance. Prior to commencing the Services,
Consultant shall furnish City with Certificates of Insurance, or formal
endorsements as required by the Agreement, issued by Consultant’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 Consultant of any deficiencies in such
policies and endorsements, and such receipt shall not relieve Consultant from, or
be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to insist on strict fulfillment of Consultant’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 Junction,
300 East Superstition Boulevard, Apache Junction, AZ 85119. The policy or
5
policies shall be in the usual form of public liability insurance, but shall also
include the following provision:
“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 Consultant’s work or services and as evidenced by annual
Certificates of Insurance.
Consultant 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.
9.
APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE: The terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the State of Arizona. Any action at law or in equity brought by either Party for the
purpose of enforcing a right or rights provided for in this Agreement, shall be tried
in a court of competent jurisdiction in Pinal County, State of Arizona. The Parties
hereby waive all provisions of law providing for a change of venue in such
proceeding to any other county. In the event either Party shall bring suit to
enforce any term of this Agreement or to recover any damages for and on account
of the breach of any term or condition in this Agreement, it is mutually agreed that
the prevailing party in such action shall recover all costs including: all litigation
and appeal expenses, collection expenses, reasonable attorney fees, necessary
witness fees and court costs to be determined by the court in such action.
10.
FORCE MAJEURE: Neither City nor Consultant, as the case may be,
shall be considered not to have performed its obligations under this Agreement
in the event of enforced delay (an “Enforced Delay”) due to causes beyond its
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, quarantines, 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,
6
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
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 Consultant in
connection with the obligations under this Agreement. Consultant agrees that
Consultant 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 10 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.
11.
TERMINATION: This Agreement may be terminated by either Party
for any reason upon thirty (30) days written notice. If this Agreement is
terminated, City shall be reimbursed from Consultant the amount paid for any
undelivered and/or unaccepted products or services. City shall pay Consultant
for completed and acceptable work performed pursuant to this Agreement prior
to the date of termination.
12.
INDEMNIFICATION: To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless City, its elected officials
and appointed officers, special districts, agents, and employees from and against
any and all liability including but not limited to demands, claims, actions, fees,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney and expert witness fees,
arising from, or alleged to have arisen from, relating to, arising out of, or alleged
to have resulted from the acts, errors, mistakes, omissions, work or services of
Consultant, its agents, employees, or any tier of Consultant’s subcontractors in
the performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent caused by the
negligence, recklessness or intentional wrongful conduct of Consultant or its
subcontractors in the performance of the Services under this Agreement or any
subcontract. Consultant’s duty to defend, hold harmless and indemnify City, its
elected officials and appointed officers, special districts, agents, and employees
shall arise in connection with any claim, damage, loss or expense that is
attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, death, or injury to, impairment, or
destruction of property including loss of use resulting therefrom, caused by an
Consultant’s acts, errors, mistakes, omissions, Services or services in the
performance of this Agreement including any employee of Consultant, any tier of
Consultant’s subcontractor or any other person for whose acts, errors, mistakes,
omissions, services or work Consultant may be legally liable, but only to the extent
caused by the negligence, recklessness or intentional wrongful conduct of
7
Consultant or any tier of Consultant’s subcontractors or any other person for
whose acts, errors, mistakes, omissions, services or work Consultant may be
legally liable in the performance of the Services under this Agreement or any
subcontract. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set forth
in this Agreement will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the
indemnity in this Section 12. The rights and obligations under this Section 12 shall
survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
13.
TAXES: Consultant shall pay as they become due all license, sales,
consumer, transaction privilege, use and other similar taxes for services
provided by Consultant which are legally enacted at the time the obligations
under this Agreement are performed.
14.
PERMITS AND FEES: Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Consultant shall secure and pay for all applicable permits, government fees,
licenses and inspections necessary for the proper execution and completion of
services which are customarily secured after execution of the Agreement.
Consultant shall give all notices and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations and lawful orders of any public authority bearing on the performance
of the Services. Consultant represents and warrants that any license necessary
to perform the Services is current and valid. Consultant understands that the
activity described in this Agreement constitutes “doing business in the City of
Apache Junction” and Consultant agrees to obtain a business license pursuant to
Chapter 8 of the Apache Junction City Code, Vol. I, and keep such license current
during the Term. Consultant also acknowledges that the tax provision of the
Apache Junction Tax Code, Chapter 8A, may also apply and if so, shall obtain a
transaction privilege license and/or other licenses as may be required by all
applicable laws.
15.
RECORDS: Records of Consultant’s labor, payroll, and other costs
pertaining to this Agreement shall be kept on a generally recognized accounting
basis and made available to City for inspection on request. Consultant shall
maintain records for a period of at least two (2) years after expiration of this
Agreement, and shall make such records available during that retention period
for examination or audit by City personnel during regular business hours.
16.
RIGHT OF CITY TO CONTRACT WITH OTHERS: Nothing in this
Agreement shall imply City is obligated to obtain the Services described in this
Agreement only through Consultant.
17.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR: City and Consultant agree and
understand that the relationship between both Parties is that of an independent
contractor. As such, Consultant is not entitled to receive any benefits to which
City employees are entitled by virtue of their employment with City. City shall not
be responsible for payment to employees of Consultant for salaries, related taxes
(including, but not limited to, federal Social Security tax as well as federal and
8
state unemployment taxes) and all other expenses related to their employment or
contractual relationship with Consultant.
18.
WAIVER OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The failure of City or
Consultant to insist in any one or more instances on performance of any of the
terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege
contained herein shall not be considered as thereafter waiving such terms,
conditions, rights or privileges, and they shall remain in full force and effect.
19.
COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Consultant
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, Consultant hereby warrants its compliance with
all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and
A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Consultant further warrants that after hiring an employee,
Consultant will verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the E-
Verify program. If Consultant 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. Consultant 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. Consultant shall not be deemed in material breach of this
Agreement if the Consultant 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 Consultant or
subcontractor employee who works under this Agreement to ensure that the
Consultant 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.
20.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement and any attachments
represent the entire agreement between City and Consultant 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
9
become part of this Agreement, 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.
21.
BINDING EFFECT, ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION: City and
Consultant each bind themselves, their partners, successors, assigns and legal
representatives to the other Party and to the partners, successors, assigns and
legal representatives of such other Party in respect to all covenants, agreements
and obligations contained in this Agreement. Neither Party shall assign the
Agreement or sublet it as a whole or delegate the duties under this Agreement,
without the written consent of the other Party, nor shall Consultant assign any
monies due or to become due to it without the previous written consent of City.
22.
SEVERABILITY: City and Consultant 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.
23.
ACCURACY OF WORK: Acceptance of services or work by City shall
not relieve Consultant of the responsibility for subsequent correction of any such
errors and the clarification of any ambiguities. Consultant shall make all
necessary revisions or corrections resulting from errors and omissions on the
part of Consultant without additional compensation.
24.
OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT. All documents or other work
product generated on behalf of City in connection with this Agreement are
property of City. Any use or reuse of the documents or work product created by
Consultant for projects they were not intended and/or without the professional
involvement of Consultant shall be at City’s sole risk and without liability to
Consultant.
25.
CONFIDENTIALITY. All information received in the performance of
the Services shall be considered nonpublic and confidential. Consultant agrees
10
that neither it nor its contractors, agents or representatives shall communicate,
whether in writing or verbally, any information concerning the Services except in
strict compliance with the terms and conditions of an express authorization by the
City Attorney. This confidentiality provision shall not apply to communication by
Consultant with its subcontractors for the purposes of performing the Services
under this Agreement.
26.
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.
27.
PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH CONSULTANTS WHO ENGAGE
IN BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL: The Parties acknowledge A.R.S. §§ 35-
393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from
contracting with Consultants who engage in boycotts of the State of Israel.
Should Consultant 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.
28.
PROHIBITED USE OF FORCED LABOR: In accordance with A.R.S. §
35-394, Consultant hereby certifies and agrees that Consultant does not currently
and shall not for the duration of this Agreement use: (1) the forced labor of ethnic
Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China, (2) any services or 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 Consultant becomes aware during the Term that Consultant
is not in compliance with this Section 28, then Consultant shall notify the City
within five (5) business days after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If
Consultant does not provide the City with written certification that Consultant 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.
29.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: This Agreement is subject to, and may
be terminated by City in accordance with, the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511.
30.
ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. Should there be any discrepancy or
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any terms
and conditions in any exhibit to this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control and prevail.
