Bids, the performance of the services defined and described particularly in Article 1 of this

acquiring architectural and engineering services have delayed the completion of services in the
Original Agreement.
-E. The services in the Original Agreement that are completed are described further in
Exhibit A of this Agreement.
F. Because the Consultant has carried out much of the work in the Original
Agreement, is able to continue such work, and continues to carry out such work, it is in the best
interest of the City to continue services with the Consultant to complete the services.
G. The authorized contract sum provided within Section 2.1 of the Original Agreement
has not been exceeded and there still remains $10,889.37 that may be expended to complete the
services under the Original Agreement ("Remaining Balance").
H. The Consultant has agreed to complete the services under the Original Agreement
for the Remaining Balance.
1. At its meeting of September 28, 2021, the City Council determined that it desires
to continue with Consultant to complete the services as described herein.

design professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of

qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
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
01247.0006n39360.4 10/19/2021
-14-
Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San
Bernardino, State of California.
7.2 Disnutes: 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 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 Riehts 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
01247.0006n39360.410/19/2021
_15_
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 party 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 temrinate 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 such
damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or
partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.9 Attorneys' Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any
