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

Page 4 of 22 
 
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 
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

Page 5 of 22 
 
arise from or relate to performance of the work under this Agreement by Contractor and its 
agents, representatives, employees, and subcontractors. Contractor and any subcontractors 
must maintain this insurance until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any 
warranty periods under this Agreement. These insurance requirements are minimum 
requirements for this Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in 
this Agreement. The City in no way warrants that the minimum limits stated in Exhibit C are 
sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of 
the work under this Agreement by the Contractor, the Contractor’s agents, representatives, 
employees, or subcontractors. Contractor is free to purchase such additional insurance as 
may be determined necessary. 
 
5.7 Cooperation and Further Documentation. The Contractor agrees to provide the City such 
other duly executed documents as may be reasonably requested by the City to implement 
the intent of this Agreement. 
 
5.8 Notices. Unless otherwise provided, notice under this Agreement must be in writing and 
will be deemed to have been duly given and received either (a) on the date of service if 
personally served on the party to whom notice is to be given, or (b) on the date notice is sent 
if by electronic mail, or (c) on the third day after the date of the postmark of deposit by first

5.9 Successors and Assigns. City and Contractor each bind itself, its partners, successors, 
assigns, and legal representatives to the other party to this Agreement and to the partners, 
successors, assigns, and legal representatives of such other party in respect to all covenants 
of this Agreement. Neither the City nor the Contractor may assign, sublet, or transfer its 
interest in this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. In no event may 
any contractual relation be created between any third party and the City. 
 
5.10 Disputes. In any dispute arising out of an interpretation of this Agreement or the duties 
required not disposed of by agreement between the Contractor and the City, the final 
determination at the administrative level will be made by the City Purchasing and Materials 
Manager. 
 
 
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

Page 6 of 22 
 
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 
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

Page 7 of 22 
 
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

Page 8 of 22 
 
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 
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

Page 9 of 22 
 
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.  
 
 
5.31 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application to any person or 
circumstance may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this 
Agreement and the application will not be affected and will be enforceable to the fullest 
extent permitted by law.

5.32 Integration. This Agreement contains the full agreement of the Parties. Any prior or 
contemporaneous written or oral agreement between the Parties regarding the subject 
matter is merged and superseded. 
 
5.33 Time is of the Essence. Time of each of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this 
Agreement is hereby expressly made of the essence. 
 
5.34 Date of Performance. If the date of performance of any obligation or the last day of any

the responsibility of the Contractor.  All claims for visible or concealed damage will be filed by 
the Contractor.  The City will notify the Contractor promptly of any damaged goods and will 
assist the Contractor in arranging for inspection.

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

of their obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under 
this Agreement are satisfied, the insurances set forth below.

Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this

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

Agreement with the Subcontractor and obtaining Certificates of Insurance and

Employers’ Liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 for each accident and 
$1,000,000 disease for each employee.

professional services or work adjunct or residual to performing the work under 
this Agreement, the Contractor must maintain Professional Liability insurance 
covering errors and omissions arising out of the work or services performed by 
the Contractor, or anyone employed by the Contractor, or anyone whose acts, 
mistakes, errors and omissions the Contractor is legally liable, with a liability limit 
of $1,000,000 each claim and $2,000,000 all claims.  In the event the Professional

containing all the Agreement insurance requirements, including naming the 
City of Chandler, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and 
employees as Additional Insured as required. 
 
7. If a Certificate of Insurance is submitted as verification of coverage, the City will 
reasonably rely upon the Certificate of Insurance as evidence of coverage but 
this acceptance and reliance will not waive or alter in any way the insurance

EXHIBIT D TO AGREEMENT 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS 
 
ACCESS TO SECURED FACILITIES 
 
Contract Worker Access Controls, Badge and Key Access Requirements. A Contract Worker shall 
not be allowed to begin work in any City facility without: (A) The prior completion and the City's 
acceptance of the required background screening; and (B) when required, the Contract Worker's 
receipt of a City issued badge. A badge will be issued to a Contract Worker solely for access to 
the City facility(s) to which the Contract Worker is assigned. Each Contract Worker who enters a 
City facility must use the badge issued to the Contract Worker. Any and all fees associated with 
security badging will be assessed in compliance with Chandler City Code §4-22. 
 
Key Access Procedures. If the Contract Worker's services require keyed access to enter a City 
facility(s), a separate key issue/return form must be completed and submitted by Contractor for 
each key issued. 
 
Stolen or Lost Badges or Keys. Contractor shall report lost or stolen badges or keys to the City 
immediately. A new badge application or key issue form shall be completed and submitted along 
with payment of the applicable fees prior to issuance of a new badge or key. 
 
Return of Badges or Keys. All badges and keys are the property of the City and must be returned 
to the City within one business day of when the Contract Worker's access to a City facility is no 
longer required to furnish the services under this Agreement. Contractor shall collect a Contract 
Worker's badge and key(s) upon the termination of the Contract Worker's employment; when 
the Contract Worker's services are no longer required at the particular City facility(s); or upon 
termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement. 
 
Contractor's default under this Section shall include, but is not limited to the following: (1) 
Contract Worker gains access to a City facility(s) without the proper badge or key; (2) Contract 
Worker uses a badge or key of another to gain access to a City facility; (3) Contract Worker 
commences services under this Agreement without the proper badge, key or Background 
Screening; (4) Contract Worker or Contractor submits false information or negligently submits 
wrong information to the City to obtain a badge, key or applicable Background Screening; or (5) 
Contractor fails to collect and timely return Contract Worker's badge or key upon termination of 
Contract Worker's employment, reassignment of Contract Worker to another City facility or upon 
the expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement. Contractor acknowledges and 
agrees that the access control, badge and key requirements in this Section are necessary to 
preserve and protect public health, safety and welfare. Accordingly, Contractor agrees to 
properly cure any default under this Section within three business days from the date notice of 
default is sent by the City. The parties agree that Contractor's failure to properly cure any default 
under this Section shall constitute a breach of this Section. In addition to any other remedy 
available to the City at law or in equity, Contractor shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the 
sum of $1,000.00 for each breach by Contractor of this Section. The parties further agree that 
the sum fixed above is reasonable and approximates the actual or anticipated loss to the City at 
the time and making of this Agreement in the event that Contractor breaches this Section. 
Further, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree to the fixed sum set forth above because 
of the difficulty of proving the City's actual damages in the event that Contractor breaches this

Page 21 of 22 
 
Section. The parties further agree that three breaches by Contractor of this Section arising out of 
any default within a consecutive period of three months or three breaches by Contractor of this 
Section arising out of the same default within a period of 12 consecutive months shall constitute 
a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor and the City expressly reserves all of its 
rights, remedies and interests under this Agreement, at law and in equity including, but not 
limited to, termination of this Agreement. 
 
1. Contractor and Subcontractor Worker Background Screening. Contractor agrees 
that all contract workers and subcontractors (collectively "Contract Worker(s)") that 
Contractor furnishes to City under this Agreement will be subject to background and 
security checks and screening as set forth in this Section (collectively "Background 
Screening") at Contractor’s sole cost and expense. As part of the Background Screening, 
Contractor must provide to a person designated by the City the name(s), address(es), 
and phone number(s) of all Contract Workers who will provide any services under this 
Agreement. All Contract Workers must comply with these Background Screening 
requirements. All Contract Workers must be able to provide proof of the legal right to 
work in the United States. The Background Screening provided by Contractor must 
comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Contractor further agrees that the 
Background Screening required in this Section is necessary to preserve and protect 
public health, safety, and welfare. The Background Screening requirements set forth in 
this Section are the minimum requirements for this Agreement. City in no way warrants 
that these minimum requirements are sufficient to protect Contractor from any 
liabilities that may arise out of Contractor’s services under this Agreement or 
Contractor’s failure to comply with this Section. Therefore, in addition to the specific 
measures set forth below, Contractor and its Contract Workers must take such other 
reasonable, prudent, and necessary measures to further preserve and protect public 
health, safety, and welfare when providing services under this Agreement. 
 
2. Background Screening Requirements and Criteria. Before offering or scheduling any 
services under this Agreement, Contractor agrees that all Contract Workers, including 
the Contractor, if the Contractor is an individual or sole proprietorship, must have 
successfully passed a Background Screening in accordance with this Section. Contractor 
warrants that no person will be permitted to substitute for a Contract Worker who has 
satisfied the Background Screening requirements until the proposed substitute has also 
satisfied the Background Screening requirements in this Section. For review and 
approval, Contractor must submit to a person designated by the City proof of a 
completed Background Screening for each Contract Worker over the age of 18 
performing services under this Agreement no fewer than two (2) weeks before the 
proposed start date of such Contract Worker’s services. The Background Screening must 
have been completed within the 12-month period preceding the Contract Worker’s start 
date under this Agreement and must include the results of a national criminal databased 
check with source verification, and a sex offender database search.  
 
3. Additional City Rights Regarding Security Inquiries. In addition to the foregoing, City 
reserves the rights but not the obligations to: (1) have a Contract Worker be required to 
provide fingerprints and execute such other documentation as may be necessary to 
obtain criminal justice information pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1750(G)(4); (2) act on newly 
acquired information whether or not such information should have been previously

Page 22 of 22 
 
discovered; (3) unilaterally change its standards and criteria relative to the acceptability 
of Contract Workers; and (4) object, at any time and for any reason, to a Contract Worker 
performing work (including supervision and oversight) under this Agreement. 
 
4. Contractor Certification. By executing this Agreement, Contractor certifies that 
Contractor has read and understands the Background Screening requirements and 
criteria in this Section and will fully comply with such requirements. Contractor further 
certifies that any Background Screening information to be furnished to City related to 
Contractor or its Contract Workers will be complete, current, and accurate. A Contract 
Worker rejected for work under this Agreement will not be proposed to perform work 
under other City contracts or engagements without City's prior written approval. 
 
5. Terms of This Section Applicable to all of Contractor’s Contracts and Subcontracts. 
Contractor must include the terms of this Section for Contract Worker Background 
Screening in all contracts and subcontracts for services furnished under this Agreement 
including, but not limited to, supervision and oversight services. 
 
6. Materiality of Background Screening Requirements: Indemnity. The Background 
Screening requirements of this Section are material to City's entry into this Agreement 
and any breach of this Section by Contractor will be deemed a material breach of this 
Agreement. In addition to the indemnity provisions set forth in this Agreement, 
Contractor must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City for any and all Claims arising 
out of this Background Screening Section including, but not limited to, the 
disqualification of a Contract Worker by Contractor or City for failure to satisfy this 
Section. 
 
7. Continuing Duty, Audit. Contractor’s obligations and requirements that Contract 
Workers satisfy this Background Screening Section will continue throughout the entire 
term of this Agreement. Contractor must notify City immediately of any change to a 
Background Screening of a Contract Worker previously accepted by City. Contractor 
must maintain all records and documents related to all Background Screenings and City 
reserves the right to audit Contractor’s compliance with this Section under the terms of 
this Agreement.
