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 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 
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 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 2AEC88A1-821F-40D4-9961-E98A194B5371

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.

5.11 Completeness and Accuracy of Contractor's Work. The Contractor must be responsible 
for 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 
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. 
 
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 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 2AEC88A1-821F-40D4-9961-E98A194B5371

Page 7 of 27 
 
the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989. All services performed by Contractor must also comply 
with all applicable City of Chandler codes, ordinances, and requirements. Contractor agrees 
to permit the City to verify Contractor’s compliance. 
 
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 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, 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 
DocuSign Envelope ID: 2AEC88A1-821F-40D4-9961-E98A194B5371

Page 9 of 27 
 
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 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 
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 in Maricopa County, Arizona, and for this purpose, each Party hereby expressly and 
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such court. 
 
5.29 Survival. All warranties, representations, and indemnifications by the Contractor must 
survive the completion or termination of this Agreement. 
 
5.30 Modification. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, no supplement, 
modification, or amendment of any term of this Agreement will be deemed binding or 
effective unless in writing and signed by the Parties.

or better and legally authorized to do business in the State of Arizona with policies

of their obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under

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.

shall execute a written contract with Subcontractor containing the same
