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

audit.

substantial change in this Agreement, thereby materially increasing or decreasing the scope of work, cost 
of goods, cost of performance, or Project schedule, the goods or services 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

Page 4 of 39 
 
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 purchase or service provided for in this Agreement, or 
abandon any portion of the Project for which the Contractor has performed. In the event the City 
abandons or suspends the purchase or services, or any part of the purchase or 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

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 goods or 
services Contractor has completed and submit Contractor's appraisal to the City for evaluation. The 
City may inspect the Contractor's goods or services to appraise the status completed. The 
Contractor will receive compensation in full for goods provided or services performed to the date of 
such termination. The fee will 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

Page 5 of 39 
 
part, by the wrongful, negligent or willful acts, or errors or omissions of the Contractor or any of its 
owners, officers, directors, agents, employees, or subcontractors in connection with this Agreement. 
This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under workers' 
compensation law or on account of the failure of the Contractor to conform to any federal, state or 
local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. The Contractor must indemnify 
lndemnitee from and against any and all Claims, except those arising solely from lndemnitee's own 
negligent or willful acts or omissions. The Contractor is responsible for primary loss investigation, 
defense and judgment costs where this indemnification applies. In consideration of the award of 
this Agreement, the Contractor agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against lndemnitee for 
losses arising from or related to this Agreement. The obligations of the Contractor under this 
provision survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 
5.6 Insurance Requirements. Contractor must procure insurance under the terms and conditions 
and for the amounts of coverage set forth in Exhibit C against claims that may arise from or relate to 
performance of the work under this Agreement by Contractor and its agents, representatives, 
employees, and subcontractors. Contractor and any subcontractors must maintain this insurance 
until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under this 
Agreement. These insurance requirements are minimum requirements for this Agreement and in no 
way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this Agreement. The City in no way warrants that the 
minimum limits stated in Exhibit C are sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might 
arise out of the performance of the work under this Agreement by the Contractor, the Contractor’s 
agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors. Contractor is free to purchase such 
additional insurance as may be determined necessary. 
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 furnishing goods or performing services 
prescribed in the Agreement. The City may acknowledge its acceptance of such personnel to furnish

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

Page 7 of 39

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.

from the date written notice is received by the other Party.

the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug 
Free Workplace Act of 1989 to it. The Contractor agrees to comply with these laws in performing this 
Agreement and to permit the City to verify such compliance.

currently engaged in, and agrees for the duration of the Agreement, not to engage in a boycott of 
Israel as defined by state statute.

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 
goods or 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

Page 8 of 39 
 
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

Page 9 of 39 
 
otherwise required to hold such data in confidence; or (c) data which is required to be disclosed by virtue 
of law, regulation, or court order, to which the Contractor or its subcontractors are subject. In the event 
the Contractor or its subcontractors are required or requested to disclose data to a third party, or any 
other information to which the Contractor or its subcontractors became privy as a result of any other 
contract with the City, the Contractor must first notify the City as set forth in this Section of the request or 
demand for the data. The Contractor or its subcontractors must give the City sufficient facts so that the 
City can be given an opportunity to first give its consent or take such action that the City may deem 
appropriate to protect such data or other information from disclosure. Unless prohibited by law, within 
ten calendar days after completion or termination of services under this Agreement, the Contractor or its 
subcontractors must promptly deliver, as set forth in this Section, a copy of all data to the City. All data 
must continue to be subject to the confidentiality agreements of this Agreement. Contractor or its 
subcontractors assume all liability to maintain the confidentiality of the data in its possession and agrees 
to compensate the City if any of the provisions of this Section are violated by the Contractor, its 
employees, agents or subcontractors. Solely for the purposes of seeking injunctive relief, it is agreed that 
a breach of this Section must be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. 
Contractor agrees that the requirements of this Section must be incorporated into all subcontracts 
entered into by Contractor. A violation of this Section may result in immediate termination of this 
Agreement without notice. 
 
5.27 Personal Identifying Information-Data Security. Personal identifying information, financial 
account information, or restricted City information, whether electronic format or hard copy, must be 
secured and protected at all times by Contractor and any of its subcontractors. At a minimum, 
Contractor must encrypt or password-protect electronic files. This includes data saved to laptop 
computers, computerized devices, or removable storage devices. When personal identifying 
information, financial account information, or restricted City information, regardless of its format, is 
no longer necessary, the information must be redacted or destroyed through appropriate and 
secure methods that ensure the information cannot be viewed, accessed, or reconstructed. In the 
event that data collected or obtained by Contractor or its subcontractors in connection with this 
Agreement is believed to have been compromised, Contractor or its subcontractors must 
immediately notify the City contact. Contractor agrees 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

Category A - Specific Services required by each department 
Wastewater Collection 
Sewer Lift Stations Hydro Vac 
The Contractor may be required to Hydro vac out city Sewer Lift stations The Sewer Lift Wet Wells size will 
vary throughout the city.  The deepest Wet Well is 50’.  The Hydro vac truck must have vacuum 
capabilities of lifting liquid 50’.  Cleaning of the sewer lifts will require the Contractor to clean the wet well 
walls including the floor with high pressure water.  When required, the Contractor will physically enter a 
Wet Well to remove larger debris.  OSHA Confined Space Entry will be followed. 
 
Sewer lines (bucket and Hydro vac note: city may have separate contractors for each) 
The requesting department will determine if Hydro vac or Bucket Method will be used.  The intent of 
sewer line cleaning is to remove foreign materials from the lines and restore the sewer to a minimum of 
95% of the original carrying capacity.  Since the success of other phases of work depends a great deal on 
the cleanliness of the lines the importance of this phase of the operation is emphasized.  It is recognized 
that there are some conditions, such as broken pipe and major blockages that prevent cleaning from 
being accomplished or where additional damage would result if cleaning were attempted or continued.  
Should such conditions be encountered the contractor will not be required to clean those specific 
manhole sections.  If in the course of normal cleaning operations damage does result from pre-existing 
and unforeseen conditions such as broken pipe, the contractor will not be held responsible.  However, 
the contractor will remain on site and assist in repairs if requested.  If the contractor is unable to clean 
any section of pipe for any reason, he must notify the requesting Department immediately. 
 
During all sewer cleaning operations, satisfactory precautions shall be taken to protect the sewer lines 
and manholes from damage that might be inflicted by the improper use of cleaning equipment.  
Equipment recommended by the manufacturer to protect the manhole and pipe shall be used.  
 
Whenever any tools which restrict the flow of water in the sewer lines are used precautions shall be 
taken to ensure that the water pressure created does not cause any damage or flooding to public or 
private property being served by the manhole section involved. 
 
Every attempt must be made by the contractor to replace all manhole lids securely after performing maintenance to 
ensure pedestrian and traffic safety including the removal of all debris prior to re-setting the manhole cover.  Any 
manhole lids with traffic striping should be re-aligned to the original placement.  The contractor will notify the city of 
any defective manhole lids or rings that may present a hazard to the public safety within a reasonable amount of 
time based upon the severity of the defect.

City within one business day of when the Contract Worker's access to a City facility is no longer required

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 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.

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

Page 38 of 39 
 
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.

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 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.

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

Page 39 of 39 
 
prior written approval.
 
5. Terms of This Section Applicable to all of Contractor’s Contracts and Subcontracts.

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.

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.
