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 no more than once in a twelve consecutive month period 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 either the Contractor or 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 Contractor or 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: 34D7047B-9CEE-4EBC-A774-47D8B2202A3F
4
compensation for such work or materials furnished.
Notwithstanding the above, if Nationwide determines that an amendment to the Agreement is
necessary that affects more than one plan sponsor and this change is communicated in writing to
all affected plan sponsors, Nationwide reserves the right to implement the amendment on a
prospective basis for any plan whose plan sponsor who fails to respond to the request for written
approval of the amendment in 45 days. Plan Sponsor hereby approves all such amendments unless
a proper and timely response is made to Nationwide regarding any Agreement modification
communicated to Plan Sponsor.
5.3 Termination for Convenience. Either the City or Contractor may terminate the Agreement
for any reason upon providing 120 days written notice to the other party. 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. 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. Provision of such written notice of termination by the City to Contractor does not relieve
the City of any termination requirements that may be associated with specific investment
options. The City further acknowledges and agrees that the City is responsible for any
investment product liquidation fees, if applicable, and that neither the Contractor nor any of
its affiliates assumes liability for any such fees. 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. Either the City or the Contractor 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. In the event either party fails to perform
any or all of its obligations as defined in the Agreement, the non-defaulting party shall give the
defaulting party written notice, specifying the particulars of the default. If such default is not cured
within sixty days from the date in which notice of default is given, the non-defaulting party may
terminate the Agreement upon 60 days written notice to the defaulting party. In addition to the 60
days written notice period, the parties agree to allow for an agreed upon transition period of up to
60 additional days to assure a smooth transition to a successor service provider; (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
DocuSign Envelope ID: 34D7047B-9CEE-4EBC-A774-47D8B2202A3F

(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.
a. The Contractor must indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the City and its officers,
officials, agents and employees 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 or state statute or regulation or court decree. Contractor’s liability as set forth in
Section 5.5(a) shall not apply to the extend such Claims arise out of the negligent or willful
acts or omissions of the City or its officers, officials, agents and employees. 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 the City for losses arising from or related
to this Agreement, unless such losses arise out of or are related to their own negligent or
willful acts or omissions of the City, its officers, officials, agents and employees. The
obligations of the Contractor under this provision survive the termination or expiration of
this Agreement.
b. To the extent not prohibited by state law, the City must indemnify, defend, save and hold
harmless the Contractor and its officers, officials, agents and employees from any and all
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 City 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 City to conform to any federal or state statute or regulation or
court decree. The City’s liability as set forth in Section 5.5(b) shall not apply to the extent
such Claims arise out of the own negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Contractor or
its officers, officials, agents and employees. The City is responsible for primary loss
investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification applies. In
consideration of the award of this Agreement, the City agrees to waive all rights of
subrogation against the Contractor for losses arising from or related to this Agreement,
unless such losses arise out of or are related to the own negligent or willful acts or omissions
of the Contractor, its officers, officials, agents and employees. The obligations of the City
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
DocuSign Envelope ID: 34D7047B-9CEE-4EBC-A774-47D8B2202A3F
6
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

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

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

of any of Contractor's responsibilities.

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 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: 34D7047B-9CEE-4EBC-A774-47D8B2202A3F
8
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 other than its
authorized sales staff 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: 34D7047B-9CEE-4EBC-A774-47D8B2202A3F
9
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 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
DocuSign Envelope ID: 34D7047B-9CEE-4EBC-A774-47D8B2202A3F
10
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

in Maricopa County, Arizona, and for this purpose, each Party hereby expressly and irrevocably
consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such court.

circumstance may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this

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

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

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.

execute a written contract with Subcontractor containing the same Indemnification
