cost of performance, or Project schedule, the goods or services will be performed as directed by the City.

the City and the Contractor. Such amendment must not be effective until approved by the City. Additions

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 such

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.

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

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.

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
Docusign Envelope ID: 2A07B1F5-2CE4-836F-82D1-BBFF9826E9F2
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 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

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.

cancellation by the City under the provisions of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.).

These results must comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.

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 Work. If

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

or services under this Agreement to ensure that the Contractor and subcontractors comply with the
warranty under this provision.

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

of this warrant, the City may annul this Agreement without liability or, at its discretion, to deduct from
Docusign Envelope ID: 2A07B1F5-2CE4-836F-82D1-BBFF9826E9F2
the Agreement price or consideration, the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage,
or contingent fee.
5.24 Non-Waiver Provision. The failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement or to require performance of the other Party of any of the provisions hereof must not be
construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor must it affect the validity of this Agreement or any
part thereof, or the right of either Party to thereafter enforce each and every provision.
5.25 Disclosure of Information Adverse to the City’s Interests. To evaluate and avoid potential conflicts
of interest, the Contractor must provide written notice to the City, as set forth in this Section, of any
work or services performed by the Contractor for third parties that may involve or be associated with
any real property or personal property owned or leased by the City. Such notice must be given seven
business days prior to commencement of the services by the Contractor for a third party, or seven
business days prior to an adverse action as defined below. Written notice and disclosure must be sent
to the City’s Purchasing and Materials Manager. An adverse action under this Agreement includes, but
is not limited to: (a) using data as defined in the Agreement acquired in connection with this
Agreement to assist a third party in pursuing administrative or judicial action against the City; or (b)
testifying or providing evidence on behalf of any person in connection with an administrative or
judicial action against the City; or (c) using data to produce income for the Contractor or its employees
independently of performing the services under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of
the City. Contractor represents that except for those persons, entities, and projects identified to the
City, the services performed by the Contractor under this Agreement are not expected to create an
interest with any person, entity, or third party project that is or may be adverse to the City’s interests.
Contractor's failure to provide a written notice and disclosure of the information as set forth in this
Section constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
5.26 Data Confidentiality and Data Security. As used in the Agreement, data means all information,
whether written or verbal, including plans, photographs, studies, investigations, audits, analyses, samples,
reports, calculations, internal memos, meeting minutes, data field notes, work product, proposals,
correspondence and any other similar documents or information prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted
to the Contractor or its subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all
data, regardless of form, including originals, images, and reproductions, prepared by, obtained by, or
transmitted to the Contractor or its subcontractors in connection with the Contractor's or its
subcontractor’s performance of this Agreement is confidential and proprietary information belonging to
the City. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Contractor or its subcontractors must not
divulge data to any third party without the City’s prior written consent. Contractor or its subcontractors
must not use the data for any purposes except to perform the services required under this Agreement.
These prohibitions do not apply to the following data provided to the Contractor or its subcontractors have
first given the required notice to the City: (a) data which was known to the Contractor or its subcontractors
prior to its performance under this Agreement unless such data was acquired in connection with work
performed for the City; or (b) data which was acquired by the Contractor or its subcontractors in its
performance under this Agreement and which was disclosed to the Contractor or its subcontractors by a
third party, who to the best of the Contractor's or its subcontractors knowledge and belief, had the legal
right to make such disclosure and the Contractor or its subcontractors are not otherwise required to hold
such data in confidence; or (c) data which is required to be disclosed by virtue of law, regulation, or court
Docusign Envelope ID: 2A07B1F5-2CE4-836F-82D1-BBFF9826E9F2
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.

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

purpose, each Party hereby expressly and irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such
