of Chandler, an Arizona municipal corporation (“City”). SRP and City may be referred to

b. If SRP is unclear regarding its obligations under this provision, SRP may seek
clarification from City by giving City written notice of inquiry as soon as
reasonably practicable after discovery of the issue. Such requests are limited to
only (i) the items SRP cannot find a source to make a qualifying Buy America
purchase, (ii) items that SRP can find a source to make a qualifying Buy America
purchase, but the lead time for such purchase may unreasonably impact the
Project Schedule, and (iii) SRP is unable in good faith to determine whether the
Buy America requirements apply to a particular item. City will respond to the
inquiry in writing within 5 working days. City’s response will include City’s
recommendation to SRP on how to proceed, but City will not direct SRP’s
activities. SRP shall not be responsible for delays in performance to the extent
caused by City recommendations or delays in City providing such
recommendations.
c.
As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, SRP will
provide to City a list of materials that do not comply with Buy America and an
estimated cost of purchasing such materials. City will acknowledge receipt of this
statement, but will not make judgment as to the validity of the statement.
d. City agrees, if it is determined that materials used are not in compliance with
Buy America requirements, the maximum SRP liability will be no more than 150
percent of the price attributable to the materials that are not in compliance with
Buy America requirements; provided, however, that if SRP has sought
clarification of the material requirement under the provisions of paragraph (b)
above, and has followed City’s written recommendations, SRP shall have no
liability.
e. City understands that SRP’s compliance with the Buy America Act may result
in longer lead times for ordering materials, vendor-prescribed minimum purchase
quantities, and higher material costs. SRP will pass on to City any additional
costs it incurs as a result of SRP’s compliance with the Buy America Act, and
SRP will not be liable for schedule delays caused by longer lead times. If there is
a minimum purchase quantity requirement, SRP shall deliver and transfer title to
excess materials to City at agreed locations within the Phoenix metropolitan area
at no additional cost to City.
f.
SRP shall not be responsible for delays caused by changes in the Project
Design made by or at the direction of City.
4) The City shall perform any Work not included in the Work to be performed by SRP
and comply with following conditions:
a.
City shall obtain such other licenses, permits, and agreements as required by
any governing bodies having jurisdiction over the location which is the
subject hereof.
3 | P a g e
b. Construction shall not commence until receipt of SRP’s Notice to Proceed.
c.
City shall notify the SRP inspector and request a dryup if necessary to
perform the Work. SRP cannot assure a dryup, which may only be possible
for brief periods and certain times of the year.
d. City shall indemnify, hold harmless, release and defend SRP, the United
States of America (USA), the Salt River Valley Water Users’ Association
(Association) and each and every one of the members of their respective
governing bodies, their officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnified
Parties”) for, from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, costs of
defense, reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees of any type, losses,
damages, expenses, fines, penalties, and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”)
for injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees of SRP
or of City or its subcontractors, or damage to property, including property of
SRP or of City or its subcontractors, to which the Indemnified Parties may
be put or subjected by reason of any act or omission on the part of City, any
subcontractor or supplier of City, or any of the directors, officers, partners,
members, managers, agents, servants or employees of City, or of its
subcontractors or suppliers. City’s obligations under this Section shall
extend to Losses resulting from or arising out of the inability of any
irrigation structure constructed or modified pursuant to this Agreement to
contain or dispose of water entering the structure from a drainage facility
owned, designed, maintained or operated by the City. City’s obligations
under this Section shall extend to the Indemnified Parties where they, or any
one of them, are allegedly concurrently negligent with City, any
subcontractor or supplier of City, or any of the directors, officers, partners,
members, managers, agents, servants or employees of City, or of its
subcontractors or suppliers, in causing or contributing to the liability causing
event. City shall also indemnify and hold harmless (and, upon notice so
requiring from SRP, also defend) the Indemnified Parties for, from and
against any and all Losses for contractual claims arising out of City’s
agreements with third parties. City understands and agrees that City enters
upon the property of the USA, Association and/or SRP at City’s own risk.
e.
City warrants that construction shall conform to SRP plans and
specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship. If
defect in materials or workmanship or other non-conformance with plans
and specifications appears within one year from the date of SRP
acceptance, and SRP so notifies City within a reasonable time after its
discovery, City shall correct the non-conformity at City’s sole cost and
expense within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by SRP, unless
correction of the non-conformity cannot reasonably be accomplished
within 30 days, in which case City shall commence correction efforts
within 15 days of notice from SRP and diligently prosecute such efforts to
completion. If City fails to correct the non-conformity within the time
4 | P a g e
period specified by SRP, SRP may correct the non-conformity and City
will pay for the cost of performing the Work.
f.
In the event the City is unable to complete its Work, SRP shall have the
right, but not be obligated, to complete the Work by whatever method SRP
deems appropriate. This includes providing or obtaining any labor,
materials or equipment and perform any part of the incomplete Work or
Work that must be redone. The cost of completing the Work, along with
reasonable administrative charges or other damages caused by delays in
completing the Work shall be charged to City.
5) Changes to the plans and specifications may only be made by SRP. SRP shall
provide City with prior written notice of any changes in costs. City shall agree in
writing to any changes in cost to the City.
6) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the state of
Arizona.
7) Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing thirty (30)
days written notice to the other Party. In the event the City desires to terminate
this Agreement prior to the completion of SRP’s work, City shall reimburse SRP
for the actual costs incurred as well as reasonable costs required to restore the
facilities of SRP, the USA or the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and
Power District.
8) If City’s sub-contractor(s) file a lien against the premises where the Work and
services are being performed, City shall, at its own expense, promptly take any
and all action necessary to cause any such lien to be released or discharged. If
City does not satisfy the lien in a prompt manner, SRP may satisfy the amount of
the lien and then City shall reimburse SRP for the amounts paid in settling the
lien.
9) In the event of dispute involving the terms of this Agreement or an allegation of
material breach by either Party, the Parties reserve all rights and remedies, arising
by law or equity, but shall waive any right to demand a trial by jury in an action
commenced in court with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement.
10) No Waiver. The failure of SRP to insist upon strict performance of any of the
terms and conditions hereof, or its delay or failure to exercise any rights or
remedies provided herein by law, or its failure to properly notify City in the event
of breach, shall not release City from any of the obligations of this Agreement and
shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights of SRP to insist upon strict
performance hereof.
