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

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 
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 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 13F05BD9-7E17-47E8-A240-B0D6FA2E3AD7

4 
 
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 
take advantage of any debtor's act, or to reorganize under the bankruptcy or similar laws, (f) the 
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.

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

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.

cancellation by the City under the provisions of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes 
(A.R.S.).

DocuSign Envelope ID: 13F05BD9-7E17-47E8-A240-B0D6FA2E3AD7

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 
assign to the City the key personnel that will be involved in performing services prescribed in 
the Agreement. The City may acknowledge its acceptance of such personnel to perform 
services under this Agreement. At any time hereafter that the Contractor desires to change key 
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.

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

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

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 Forced Labor of Ethnic Uyghurs Prohibited. By entering into this Agreement, Contractor 
certifies and agrees Contractor does not currently use and will not use for the term of this 
Agreement: (i) the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China; or (ii) any 
goods or services produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of 
China; or (iii) any contractors, subcontractors or suppliers that use the forced labor or any 
goods or services produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of 
China. 
 
5.23 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 
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. 
 
5.24 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. 
 
5.25 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. 
 
5.26 Data Confidentiality and Data Security. As used in the Agreement, data means all 
information, whether written or verbal, including plans, photographs, studies, investigations, audits, 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 13F05BD9-7E17-47E8-A240-B0D6FA2E3AD7

8 
 
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 
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. 
 
5.27 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 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 13F05BD9-7E17-47E8-A240-B0D6FA2E3AD7

9 
 
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. 
 
5.28 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

Agreement and the application will not be affected and will be enforceable to the fullest extent

business in the State of Arizona possessing a current A.M. Best, Inc. rating of A-7, or 
better and legally authorized to do business in the State of Arizona with policies and 
forms satisfactory to City.  Provided, however, the A.M. Best rating requirement 
shall not be deemed to apply to required Workers’ Compensation coverage.

The Contractor and any of its subcontractors shall procure and maintain, until all of 
their obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under this 
Agreement are satisfied, the insurances set forth below. 
 
C. 
The insurance requirements set forth below are minimum requirements for this 
Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this 
Agreement. 
 
D. 
The City in no way warrants that the minimum insurance limits contained in this 
Agreement are sufficient to protect Contractor from liabilities that might arise out 
of the performance of the Agreement services under this Agreement by Contractor, 
its agents, representatives, employees, subcontractors, and the Contractor is free 
to purchase any additional insurance as may be determined necessary. 
 
E. 
Failure to demand evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements in 
this Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency will not relieve the 
Contractor from, nor will it be considered a waiver of its obligation to maintain the 
required insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement. 
 
F. 
Use of Subcontractors:  If any work is subcontracted in any way, the Contractor shall 
execute a written contract with Subcontractor containing the same Indemnification 
Clause and Insurance Requirements as the City requires of the Contractor in this 
Agreement. The Contractor is responsible for executing the Agreement with the 
Subcontractor and obtaining Certificates of Insurance and verifying the insurance 
requirements.

be “follow form” equal or broader in coverage scope than underlying insurance. 
 
 
C. 
Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance:  Contractor must maintain 
Workers Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by federal and state 
statutes having jurisdiction of Contractor employees engaged in the performance 
of work or services under this Agreement and must also maintain Employers’

disease for each employee. 
 
D.

omissions arising out of the work or services performed by the Contractor, or

maintain such insurance for an additional period of one year following termination 
of Contract. If such insurance is maintained on a claims-made basis, Contractor shall 
maintain such insurance for an additional period of three years following 
termination of the Contract.

EXHIBIT F  
NETWORK CONNECTION POLICY 
   
Purpose:  To ensure that a secure method of network connectivity between City of Chandler and 
all third parties and to provide a formalized method for the request, approval and tracking of 
such connections.   
  
1. Scope 
 
External company data network connections to City of Chandler can create potential security 
exposures if not administered and managed correctly and consistently.  These exposures may 
include non-approved methods of connection to the City of Chandler network, the inability to 
shut down access in the event of a security breach, and exposure to hacking attempts. 
Therefore, all external company data network connections will be via the Global Partners 
Network. This policy applies to all new Third-Party Network Connection requests and any 
existing Third-Party Network Connections.  When existing Third-Party Network Connections 
do not meet all of the guidelines and requirements outlined in this document, they will be re-
engineered as needed. 
  
2.  Definitions:  A "Network Connection" is defined as one of the connectivity options listed in 
Section B. below. Third Parties. is defined as City of Chandler Partners, Vendors, Suppliers and 
the like.  
 
3.  Third-Party Connection Requests and Approvals  
 
All requests for Third-Party connections must be made using the appropriate method based 
on the support organization. The City of Chandler shall provide remote access via Virtual 
Private Network (VPN) and network account connectivity for the express purposes of carrying 
out business related connectivity which permits Heinfeld, Meech & Co., P.C., to perform audit 
services. 
 
The required information is outlined in the Third-Party Connection Request - Information 
Requirements Document. All information requested on this form must be completed prior 
to approval and sign off.  It is Company’s responsibility to ensure that Company has provided 
all of the necessary information and that such information is correct.  
 
All Third-Party connection requests must have a City of Chandler VP level signature for 
approval. In some cases, approval may be given at a lower level with pre-authorization from 
the appropriate City of Chandler VP.  Also, all Third Parties requesting a Network Connection 
must complete and sign a City of Chandler Non-Disclosure Agreement.   
 
As a part of the request and approval process, the technical and administrative contact within 
Company’s organization or someone at a higher level within Company will be required to read 
and sign the "Third-Party Connection Agreement " and any additional documents, such as the 
City of Chandler Non-Disclosure Agreement.

28 
 
4. Connectivity Options  
  
The following five connectivity options are the standard methods of providing a Third-Party 
Network Connection. Anything that deviates from these standard methods must have a waiver 
sign-off at the City of Chandler VP level.  
 
a. 
VPN / Encrypted Tunnel - Encrypted tunnels should [must?] be terminated on the 
Partners Network whenever possible.  In certain circumstances, it may be required to 
terminate an encrypted tunnel on the dirty subnet, in which case the normal City of 
Chandler perimeter security measures will control access to Internal devices. 
 
b. 
Secure Shell (SSH) access from Internet – Secure shell access from the Internet will be 
only be via secure shell (SSH) provided by first using SSH to the Third-Party gateway 
machine, where the connection will be authenticated per Section E. below. Once the 
connection is authenticated, SSH sessions to internal hosts will be limited to those 
services needed by using the authorization capabilities of City of Chandler Secure 
Database.  
 
5. Third-Party (Partner) Access Points  
 
When possible, Third-Party (Partner) Access Points (PAPs should be established in locations 
such that the cost of the access is minimized.  Each PAP should consist of at least one router 
with leased line with Frame Relay, ISDN or VPN capability.   
  
6. Services Provided  
 
In general, services provided over Third-Party Network Connections should be limited only to 
those services needed, and only to those devices (hosts, routers, etc.) needed. Blanket access 
will not be provided for anyone.  The default policy position is to deny all access and then 
only allow those specific services that are needed and approved by City of Chandler pursuant 
to the established procedure.  
  
In no case shall a Third-Party Network Connection to City of Chandler be used as the Internet 
connection for the Third-Party.  
  
The standard set of allowable services is listed below:  
  
File Exchange via ftp - Where possible, file exchange via ftp should take place on the existing 
City of Chandler ftp servers (server name(s) and addresses to be obtained from IT) for all other 
work).  IT supported Third-Party connections have additional FTP services provided by a server 
in on the Partners Network.  
  
Electronic Mail Exchange - Business-related email exchange between City of Chandler and 
Third Parties may be conducted over the Network Connection as needed.  Mail from Third-
Party sites to Non-City of Chandler addresses will not be allowed over the Network Connection.  
   
DocuSign Envelope ID: 13F05BD9-7E17-47E8-A240-B0D6FA2E3AD7

29 
 
SSH Access – Secure shell access will be provided to specific City of Chandler hosts, as explicitly 
needed. Employees from Third Parties will only be given accounts on the specific City of 
Chandler hosts that are needed.  Where possible, router ACLs and static routes will be used to 
limit the paths of access to other internal City of Chandler hosts and devices.  
NOTE:  NIS accounts and Directory Services are not to be established for employees of Third 
Parties who have accounts on City of Chandler hosts.  
  
Web Resource Access - Access to internal web resources will be provided on an as-needed 
basis. Access will be provided by mirroring the appropriate web resources to a web server that 
resides on the Partners Network.  Access to City of Chandler’s public web resources will be 
accomplished via the normal Internet access for the Third-Party.  
  
Access to Source Code Repositories This access will be decided on case-by-case basis.  
  
Print Services - Print services can be provided to City of Chandler IT-supported Third-Party 
connections by via two print spoolers on the City of Chandler Partners Network. City of 
Chandler-owned printers that boot off the print spoolers will be located on the City of 
Chandler, extended network at the Third-Party sites.  
  
SQL*Net Access - This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.  
  
ERP Access - This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.  
  
Windows File Exchange - File exchange will be provided by Windows file servers located on 
the City of Chandler Partners Network.  Each Third-Party needing Windows File exchange will 
be provided with a separate folder that is only accessible to that Party and the necessary 
people at City of Chandler.  
  
7. Authentication for Third-Party Network Connections  
 
Third-Party Network Connections made via remote dial-up using PPP/SLIP or VPN to SSH over 
the Internet will be authenticated using the City of Chandler VPN Access System.  VPN access 
will be granted via separate accounts specifically for Third-Party individual.    
  
8. City of Chandler Equipment at Third-Party Sites  
 
In many cases it may be necessary to have City of Chandler-owned and maintained equipment 
at a Third-Party site.  All such equipment will be documented on the Third-Party Connection 
Request. Information Requirements Document.  Access to network devices such as routers 
and switches will only be provided to City of Chandler support personnel.  All City of Chandler-
Owned Equipment located at Third-Party sites must be used only for business purposes.  Any 
misuse of access or tampering with City of Chandler-provided hardware or software, except 
as authorized in writing by City of Chandler, may, in City of Chandler’s sole discretion, result in 
termination of the connection agreement with the Third-Party.  If City of Chandler equipment 
is loaned to a Third-Party, the Third-Party will be required to sign an appropriate City of 
Chandler Equipment Loan Agreement, if one is required.

30 
 
9. Protection of Company Private Information and Resources  
 
The City of Chandler network support group responsible for the installation and configuration 
of a specific Third-Party Connection must ensure that all possible measures have been taken 
to protect the integrity and privacy of City of Chandler confidential information.  At no time 
should City of Chandler rely on access/authorization control mechanisms at the Third-Party’s 
site to protect or prohibit access to City of Chandler confidential information.  
  
Security of Third-Party Connections will be achieved by implementing “Access Control Lists” on 
the Partner Gateway routers to which the Third-Party sites are connected.  The ACLs will 
restrict access to pre-defined hosts within the internal City of Chandler network.  The ACLs will 
be determined by the appropriate support organization.  A set of default ACLs may be 
established as a baseline.  
  
Enable-level access to City of Chandler-owned/maintained routers on Third-Party premise will 
only be provided to the appropriate support organization.  All other business personnel (i.e. 
Partner Site local technical support personnel) will have restricted access/read-only access to 
the routers at their site and will not be allowed to make configuration changes.  
  
City of Chandler shall not have any responsibility for ensuring the protection of Third-Party 
information.  The Third-Party shall be entirely responsible for providing the appropriate 
security measures to ensure protection of their private internal network and information.  
  
10. Audit and Review of Third-Party Network Connections  
 
All aspects of Third-Party Network Connections - up to, but not including Company’s firewall, 
will be monitored by the appropriate City of Chandler network support group. Where possible, 
automated tools will be used to accomplish the auditing tasks.  Monthly reports should be 
generated on the Partners Authentication database showing the specific login entries and the 
appropriate City of Chandler POC.  Each City of Chandler Partner POC will receive a copy of the 
monthly reports showing all of the accounts pertaining to his/her area.  Copies of the reports 
will also be mailed to the department directors.  
  
Nightly audits will be performed on all City of Chandler-owned/maintained Third-Party 
router/network device configurations and the output will be mailed to the appropriate City of 
Chandler network support group.  Any unauthorized changes will be investigated immediately.  
  
All Third-Party Network Connections will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and information 
regarding specific Third-Party Network Connection will be updated as necessary.  Obsolete 
Third-Party Network Connections will be terminated.  
  
11. City of Chandler Corporate IT Information Security Organization  
 
City of Chandler Information Technology Security has the responsibility for maintaining related 
policies and standards.  Corporate IT Security will also provide advice and assistance regarding 
judgment calls, and will facilitate information gathering in order to make a correct decision.
