SECTION V: GENERAL CONDITIONS 
 
5.1 Records/Audit. Records of the Contractor's direct personnel payroll, reimbursable expenses 
pertaining to this Agreement and records of accounts between the City and Contractor must be 
kept on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and must be made available to the 
City and its auditors for up to three years following the City’s final acceptance of the services under 
this Agreement. The City, its authorized representative, or any federal agency, reserves the right to 
audit Contractor's records to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of all cost and pricing data, 
including data used to negotiate this Agreement and any amendments. The City reserves the right 
to decrease the total amount of Agreement price or payments made under this Agreement or 
request reimbursement from the Contractor following final contract payment on this Agreement if, 
upon audit of the Contractor's records, the audit discloses the Contractor has provided false, 
misleading, or inaccurate cost and pricing data. The Contractor will include a similar provision in all 
of its contracts with subcontractors providing services under the Agreement Documents to ensure 
DocuSign Envelope ID: F59DD119-1E73-4881-9392-DE894E41D5B1

that the City, its authorized representative, or the appropriate federal agency, has access to the 
subcontractors’ records to verify the accuracy of all cost and pricing data. The City reserves the right 
to decrease Contract price or payments made on this Agreement or request reimbursement from 
the Contractor following final payment on this Agreement if the above provision is not included in 
subcontractor agreements, and one or more subcontractors refuse to allow the City to audit their 
records to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of all cost and pricing data. If, following an audit 
of this Agreement, the audit discloses the Contractor has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate 
cost and pricing data, and the cost discrepancies exceed 1% of the total Agreement billings, the 
Contractor will be liable for reimbursement of the reasonable, actual cost of the audit. 
 
5.2 Alteration in Character of Work. Whenever an alteration in the character of work results in a 
substantial change in this Agreement, thereby materially increasing or decreasing the scope of 
services, cost of performance, or Project schedule, the work will be performed as directed by the 
City. However, before any modified work is started, a written amendment must be approved and 
executed by the City and the Contractor. Such amendment must not be effective until approved by 
the City. Additions to, modifications, or deletions from this Agreement as provided herein may be 
made, and the compensation to be paid to the Contractor may accordingly be adjusted by mutual 
agreement of the Parties. It is distinctly understood and agreed that no claim for extra work done 
or materials furnished by the Contractor will be allowed by the City except as provided herein, nor 
must the Contractor do any work or furnish any materials not covered by this Agreement unless 
such work is first authorized in writing. Any such work or materials furnished by the Contractor 
without prior written authorization will be at Contractor's own risk, cost, and expense, and 
Contractor hereby agrees that without written authorization Contractor will make no claim for 
compensation for such work or materials furnished. 
 
5.3 Termination for Convenience. The City and the Contractor hereby agree to the full 
performance of the covenants contained herein, except that the City reserves the right, at its 
discretion and without cause, to terminate or abandon any service provided for in this 
Agreement, or abandon any portion of the Project for which services have been performed by 
the Contractor. In the event the City abandons or suspends the services, or any part of the 
services as provided in this Agreement, the City will notify the Contractor in writing and 
immediately after receiving such notice, the Contractor must discontinue advancing the work 
specified under this Agreement. Upon such termination, abandonment, or suspension, the 
Contractor must deliver to the City all drawings, plans, specifications, special provisions, 
estimates and other work entirely or partially completed, together with all unused materials 
supplied by the City. The Contractor must appraise the work Contractor has completed and 
submit Contractor's appraisal to the City for evaluation. The City may inspect the Contractor's 
work to appraise the work completed. The Contractor will receive compensation in full for 
services performed to the date of such termination. The fee shall be paid in accordance with 
Section IV of this Agreement, and as mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and the City. If 
there is no mutual agreement on payment, the final determination will be made in accordance 
with the Disputes provision in this Agreement. However, in no event may the payment exceed 
the payment set forth in this Agreement nor as amended in accordance with Alteration in 
Character of Work. The City will make the final payment within 60 days after the Contractor has 
delivered the last of the partially completed items and the Parties agree on the final payment. 
If the City is found to have improperly terminated the Agreement for cause or default, the 
termination will be converted to a termination for convenience in accordance with the 
provisions of this Agreement.

5.4 Termination for Cause. The City may terminate this Agreement for Cause upon the occurrence 
of any one or more of the following events: in the event that (a) the Contractor fails to perform 
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) the Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, (c) 
the Contractor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (d) a trustee or receiver is 
appointed for Contractor or for any of Contractor’s property (e) the Contractor files a petition to

Contractor disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public body having 
jurisdiction, or (g) the Contractor fails to cure default within the time requested. Where Agreement 
has been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any rights of City against Contractor 
then existing or which may thereafter accrue. 
 
5.5 Indemnification. The Contractor (lndemnitor) must indemnify, defend, save and hold 
harmless the City and its officers, officials, agents and employees (lndemnitee) from any and 
all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses or expenses (including court costs, attorneys' fees 
and costs of claim processing, investigation and litigation) (Claims) caused or alleged to be 
caused, in whole or in part, by the wrongful, negligent or willful acts, or errors or omissions of 
the Contractor or any of its owners, officers, directors, agents, employees, or subcontractors in 
connection with this Agreement. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or 
recovered under workers' compensation law or on account of the failure of the Contractor to 
conform to any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. 
The Contractor must indemnify lndemnitee from and against any and all Claims, except those 
arising solely from lndemnitee's own negligent or willful acts or omissions. The Contractor is 
responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this 
indemnification applies. In consideration of the award of this Agreement, the Contractor agrees 
to waive all rights of subrogation against lndemnitee for losses arising from or related to this 
Agreement. The obligations of the Contractor under this provision survive the termination or 
expiration of this Agreement. 
 
5.6 Insurance Requirements. Contractor must procure insurance under the terms and 
conditions and for the amounts of coverage set forth in Exhibit C against claims that may arise 
from or relate to performance of the work under this Agreement by Contractor and its agents, 
representatives, employees, and subcontractors. Contractor and any subcontractors must 
maintain this insurance until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any 
warranty periods under this Agreement. These insurance requirements are minimum 
requirements for this Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this 
Agreement. The City in no way warrants that the minimum limits stated in Exhibit C are 
sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of 
the work under this Agreement by the Contractor, the Contractor’s agents, representatives, 
employees, or subcontractors. Contractor is free to purchase such additional insurance as may 
be determined necessary. 
 
5.7 Cooperation and Further Documentation. The Contractor agrees to provide the City such 
other duly executed documents as may be reasonably requested by the City to implement the 
intent of this Agreement. 
 
5.8 Notices. Unless otherwise provided, notice under this Agreement must be in writing and 
will be deemed to have been duly given and received either (a) on the date of service if

5.9 Successors and Assigns. City and Contractor each bind itself, its partners, successors, 
assigns, and legal representatives to the other party to this Agreement and to the partners, 
successors, assigns, and legal representatives of such other party in respect to all covenants of 
this Agreement. Neither the City nor the Contractor may assign, sublet, or transfer its interest 
in this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. In no event may any 
contractual relation be created between any third party and the City.

the completeness and accuracy of Contractor's services, data, and other work prepared or 
compiled under Contractor's obligation under this Agreement and must correct, at Contractor's 
expense, all willful or negligent errors, omissions, or  acts that may be discovered. The fact that 
the City has accepted or approved the Contractor's work will in no way relieve the Contractor 
of any of Contractor's responsibilities. 
 
5.12 Withholding Payment. The City reserves the right to withhold funds from the Contractor's 
payments up to the amount equal to the claims the City may have against the Contractor until 
such time that a settlement on those claims has been reached. 
 
5.13 City's Right of Cancellation. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is subject to 
cancellation by the City under the provisions of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes 
(A.R.S.). 
 
5.14 Independent Contractor. For this Agreement the Contractor constitutes an independent 
contractor. Any provisions in this Agreement that may appear to give the City the right to direct 
the Contractor as to the details of accomplishing the work or to exercise a measure of control 
over the work means that the Contractor must follow the wishes of the City as to the results of 
the work only. These results must comply with all applicable laws and ordinances. 
 
5.15 Project Staffing. Prior to the start of any work under this Agreement, the Contractor must

6 
 
personnel while performing under the Agreement, the Contractor must submit the 
qualifications of the new personnel to the City for prior approval. The Contractor will maintain 
an adequate and competent staff of qualified persons, as may be determined by the City, 
throughout the performance of this Agreement to ensure acceptable and timely completion of 
the Scope of Services. If the City objects, with reasonable cause, to any of the Contractor's staff, 
the Contractor must take prompt corrective action acceptable to the City and, if required, 
remove such personnel from the Project and replace with new personnel agreed to by the City. 
 
5.16 Subcontractors. Prior to beginning the work, the Contractor must furnish the City for 
approval the names of subcontractors to be used under this Agreement. Any subsequent 
changes are subject to the City’s written prior approval. 
 
5.17 Force Majeure. If either party is delayed or prevented from the performance of any act 
required under this Agreement by reason of acts of God or other cause beyond the control and 
without fault of the Party (financial inability excepted), performance of that act may be excused, 
but only for the period of the delay, if the Party provides written notice to the other Party within 
ten days of such act. The time for performance of the act may be extended for a period 
equivalent to the period of delay from the date written notice is received by the other Party. 
 
5.18 Compliance with Laws. Contractor understands, acknowledges, and agrees to comply with 
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the 
Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989. All services performed by Contractor must also comply with

5.19 No Israel Boycott. By entering into this Agreement, Contractor certifies that Contractor is 
not currently engaged in, and agrees for the duration of the Agreement, not to engage in a 
boycott of Israel as defined by state statute. 
 
5.20 Legal Worker Requirements. A.R.S. § 41-4401 prohibits the City from awarding a contract 
to any contractor who fails, or whose subcontractors fail, to comply with A.R.S. § 23-214(A). 
Therefore, Contractor agrees Contractor and each subcontractor it uses warrants their 
compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to their employees 
and their compliance with§ 23-214, subsection A. A breach of this warranty will be deemed a 
material breach of the Agreement and may be subject to penalties up to and including 
termination of the Agreement. City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any 
Contractor’s or subcontractor’s employee who provides services under this Agreement to 
ensure that the Contractor and subcontractors comply with the warranty under this provision. 
 
5.21 Lawful Presence Requirement. A.R.S. §§ 1-501 and 1-502 prohibit the City from awarding 
a contract to any natural person who cannot establish that such person is lawfully present in 
the United States. To establish lawful presence, a person must produce qualifying identification 
and sign a City-provided affidavit affirming that the identification provided is genuine. This 
requirement will be imposed at the time of contract award. This requirement does not apply 
to business organizations such as corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies. 
 
5.22 Covenant Against Contingent Fees. Contractor warrants that no person has been 
employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an agreement or understanding 
DocuSign Envelope ID: F59DD119-1E73-4881-9392-DE894E41D5B1

for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, and that no member of the 
Chandler City Council, or any City employee has any interest, financially, or otherwise, in 
Contractor’s firm. For breach or violation of this warrant, the City may annul this Agreement 
without liability or, at its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, the 
full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee. 
 
5.23 Non-Waiver Provision. The failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this 
Agreement or to require performance of the other Party of any of the provisions hereof must 
not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor must it affect the validity of this 
Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of either Party to thereafter enforce each and every 
provision. 
 
5.24 Disclosure of Information Adverse to the City’s Interests. To evaluate and avoid potential 
conflicts of interest, the Contractor must provide written notice to the City, as set forth in this 
Section, of any work or services performed by the Contractor for third parties that may involve 
or be associated with any real property or personal property owned or leased by the City. Such 
notice must be given seven business days prior to commencement of the services by the 
Contractor for a third party, or seven business days prior to an adverse action as defined below. 
Written notice and disclosure must be sent to the City’s Purchasing and Materials Manager. An 
adverse action under this Agreement includes, but is not limited to: (a) using data as defined in 
the Agreement acquired in connection with this Agreement to assist a third party in pursuing 
administrative or judicial action against the City; or (b) testifying or providing evidence on behalf 
of any person in connection with an administrative or judicial action against the City; or (c) using 
data to produce income for the Contractor or its employees independently of performing the 
services under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the City. Contractor 
represents that except for those persons, entities, and projects identified to the City, the 
services performed by the Contractor under this Agreement are not expected to create an 
interest with any person, entity, or third party project that is or may be adverse to the City’s 
interests. Contractor's failure to provide a written notice and disclosure of the information as 
set forth in this Section constitute a material breach of this Agreement. 
 
5.25 Data Confidentiality and Data Security. As used in the Agreement, data means all 
information, whether written or verbal, including plans, photographs, studies, investigations, audits, 
analyses, samples, reports, calculations, internal memos, meeting minutes, data field notes, work 
product, proposals, correspondence and any other similar documents or information prepared by, 
obtained by, or transmitted to the Contractor or its subcontractors in the performance of this 
Agreement. The Parties agree that all data, regardless of form, including originals, images, and 
reproductions, prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to the Contractor or its subcontractors in 
connection with the Contractor's or its subcontractor’s performance of this Agreement is 
confidential and proprietary information belonging to the City. Except as specifically provided in this 
Agreement, Contractor or its subcontractors must not divulge data to any third party without the 
City’s prior written consent. Contractor or its subcontractors must not use the data for any purposes 
except to perform the services required under this Agreement. These prohibitions do not apply to 
the following data provided to the Contractor or its subcontractors have first given the required 
notice to the City: (a) data which was known to the Contractor or its subcontractors prior to its 
performance under this Agreement unless such data was acquired in connection with work 
performed for the City; or (b) data which was acquired by the Contractor or its subcontractors in its 
performance under this Agreement and which was disclosed to the Contractor or its subcontractors 
DocuSign Envelope ID: F59DD119-1E73-4881-9392-DE894E41D5B1

8 
 
by a third party, who to the best of the Contractor's or its subcontractors knowledge and belief, had 
the legal right to make such disclosure and the Contractor or its subcontractors are not otherwise 
required to hold such data in confidence; or (c) data which is required to be disclosed by virtue of 
law, regulation, or court order, to which the Contractor or its subcontractors are subject. In the event 
the Contractor or its subcontractors are required or requested to disclose data to a third party, or 
any other information to which the Contractor or its subcontractors became privy as a result of any 
other contract with the City, the Contractor must first notify the City as set forth in this Section of 
the request or demand for the data. The Contractor or its subcontractors must give the City 
sufficient facts so that the City can be given an opportunity to first give its consent or take such 
action that the City may deem appropriate to protect such data or other information from 
disclosure. Unless prohibited by law, within ten calendar days after completion or termination of 
services under this Agreement, the Contractor or its subcontractors must promptly deliver, as set 
forth in this Section, a copy of all data to the City. All data must continue to be subject to the 
confidentiality agreements of this Agreement. Contractor or its subcontractors assume all liability 
to maintain the confidentiality of the data in its possession and agrees to compensate the City if any 
of the provisions of this Section are violated by the Contractor, its employees, agents or 
subcontractors. Solely for the purposes of seeking injunctive relief, it is agreed that a breach of this 
Section must be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. Contractor 
agrees that the requirements of this Section must be incorporated into all subcontracts entered 
into by Contractor. A violation of this Section may result in immediate termination of this Agreement 
without notice. 
 
5.26 Personal Identifying Information-Data Security. Personal identifying information, financial 
account information, or restricted City information, whether electronic format or hard copy, 
must be secured and protected at all times by Contractor and any of its subcontractors. At a 
minimum, Contractor must encrypt or password-protect electronic files. This includes data 
saved to laptop computers, computerized devices, or removable storage devices. When 
personal identifying information, financial account information, or restricted City information, 
regardless of its format, is no longer necessary, the information must be redacted or destroyed 
through appropriate and secure methods that ensure the information cannot be viewed, 
accessed, or reconstructed. In the event that data collected or obtained by Contractor or its 
subcontractors in connection with this Agreement is believed to have been compromised, 
Contractor or its subcontractors must immediately notify the City contact. Contractor agrees 
to reimburse the City for any costs incurred by the City to investigate potential breaches of this 
data and, where applicable, the cost of notifying individuals who may be impacted by the 
breach. Contractor agrees that the requirements of this Section must be incorporated into all 
subcontracts entered into by Contractor. It is further agreed that a violation of this Section must 
be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. A violation of this 
Section may result in immediate termination of this Agreement without notice. The obligations 
of Contractor or its subcontractors under this Section must survive the termination of this 
Agreement. 
 
5.27 Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is made under, and must be construed in 
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to the 
conflicts or choice of law provisions thereof. Any action to enforce any provision of this 
Agreement or to obtain any remedy with respect hereto must be brought in the courts located

to purchase any additional insurance as may be determined necessary.

facility must use the badge issued to the Contract Worker. Any and all fees associated with security 
badging will be assessed in compliance with Chandler City Code §4-22. 
 
Key Access Procedures. If the Contract Worker's services require keyed access to enter a City 
facility(s), a separate key issue/return form must be completed and submitted by Contractor for 
each key issued. 
 
Stolen or Lost Badges or Keys. Contractor shall report lost or stolen badges or keys to the City 
immediately. A new badge application or key issue form shall be completed and submitted along

Return of Badges or Keys. All badges and keys are the property of the City and must be returned 
to the City within one business day of when the Contract Worker's access to a City facility is no 
longer required to furnish the services under this Agreement. Contractor shall collect a Contract

Contract Worker's services are no longer required at the particular City facility(s); or upon 
termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement. 
 
Contractor's default under this Section shall include, but is not limited to the following: (1) Contract 
Worker gains access to a City facility(s) without the proper badge or key; (2) Contract Worker uses 
a badge or key of another to gain access to a City facility; (3) Contract Worker commences services 
under this Agreement without the proper badge, key or Background Screening; (4) Contract 
Worker or Contractor submits false information or negligently submits wrong information to the

public health, safety and welfare. Accordingly, Contractor agrees to properly cure any default 
under this Section within three business days from the date notice of default is sent by the City. 
The parties agree that Contractor's failure to properly cure any default under this Section shall 
constitute a breach of this Section. In addition to any other remedy available to the City at law or 
in equity, Contractor shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of $1,000.00 for each 
breach by Contractor of this Section. The parties further agree that the sum fixed above is 
reasonable and approximates the actual or anticipated loss to the City at the time and making of 
this Agreement in the event that Contractor breaches this Section. Further, the parties expressly 
acknowledge and agree to the fixed sum set forth above because of the difficulty of proving the 
City's actual damages in the event that Contractor breaches this Section. The parties further agree 
that three breaches by Contractor of this Section arising out of any default within a consecutive 
DocuSign Envelope ID: F59DD119-1E73-4881-9392-DE894E41D5B1

default within a period of 12 consecutive months shall constitute a material breach of this

under this Agreement, at law and in equity including, but not limited to, termination of this 
Agreement.
