volunteers or the Consultant shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related

the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to
which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or
property resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or persons for
which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant's indemnification
liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.

penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein"claims
or liabilities") that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in
connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein
of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or
entity for which Consultant is legally liable ("indemnitors"), or arising from Consultant's or
indemnitors' reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant's or indemnitors'
negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this

of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and
attorney's fees incurred in connection therewith;

agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or
employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorney's
fees.
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if
it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and
failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This
indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or
omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional
services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring
as a result of City's sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City's negligence,
except that design professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities
arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The
indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to
performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be
instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, or any other
appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District
Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San
Bernardino, State of California.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall
not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed
after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the
reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the
default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not
reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the
City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the
invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the
outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the
City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the
part of the City to give notice of the Consultant's default shall not be deemed to result in a
waiver of the City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant
(whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in
dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or
damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by
reason of Consultant's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant's
obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the
amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which
shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due,without
liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The
failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the
obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by
any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any
other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this
01247.0005/553342.3 6/3/2019
-14-
Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any
right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not
be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party
of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or
different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either parry may take legal action, in law or in
equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel
specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain
any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections
905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided
in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this
Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to Consultant. In addition, the
Consultant may terminate this Contract for cause, upon sixty(60) days' advance written notice to
City. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services
hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where
the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all
services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services
authorized by.the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation
or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the
event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation
only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of
termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the
non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work
and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable
to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the
compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
01247.0005/553342.3 6/3/2019
-15-

or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or
equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's
fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other
reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other
necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be
deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or
not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

[to be initialed]
Consultant Initials
City, its respective elected and appointed officers, directors, officials, employees, agents
and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the commercial general liability and
automobile liability polices of insurance as respects: liability arising out of activities Consultant
performs; products and completed operations of Consultant; premises owned, occupied or used
by Consultant; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Consultant. The
coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, and
their respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers. Consultant's
insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought,
except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At
the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured
retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and
volunteers or the Consultant shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related
investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Consultant agrees that
the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to
which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or
property resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or persons for
which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant's indemnification
liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section 4.5
of this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the
subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is required to
maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to
City."

amended and shall now read as follows:
"In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any
action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Consultant for such damages or other claims
arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work,
operation or activities of Consultant hereunder, Consultant agrees to pay to the City, its officers,
agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or
employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys'
fees.
01247.0005/553342.3 6/3/2019 B-3
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails
to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure
of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This
indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or
omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional
services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring
as a result of City's sole negligence or willful acts or omissions,but, to the fullest extent
