RECITALS
A. A goal of the Cultural Resources Element of the 2035 La Quinta General
Plan ("General Plan") is to provide enrichment of the community by adequate
cultural and recreational facilities and activities. To implement this goal, the
General Plan further states that the cultural resources of a city encompass
those facilities and programs which refresh, enhance or recreate people's
bodies and spirits. Community parks, recreational activities, historic
resources, library facilities and art festivals are included in this classification.
The art in public places program is intended to achieve this purpose by
providing visual art throughout the City.
B. The City Council has previously determined that visually pleasing and
high quality public art enhance the public safety and welfare of La Quinta
residents and visitors. For the benefit of its citizens and visitors, the City
Council is commissioning the creation and installation of certain artwork (the
"Artwork") by Artist to be located at the La Quinta Library on the inside of the
north facing wall located outside the Creation Station (the "Site Location"):
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the performance by the parties of the
mutual promises, covenants, and conditions contained hereinafter, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. SCOPE OF SERVICES AND PAYMENT
1.1 Scope of Design and Fabrication Services. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, Artist shall (i) prepare, or cause to be
prepared, conceptual design plans for the Artwork, including setting forth
details and samples of the materials to be used and composition of the
proposed Artwork; (ii) based on the conceptual design plans approved by City,
develop working drawings which shall be incorporated into the Schedule of
Performance attached hereto as Exhibit B; and (iii) fabricate and install the
Artwork as more particularly described in the Scope of Design Build Services
and the Schedule of Performance attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit

provided in the manner herein set forth in good and workmanlike manner,

design, color, size, material, texture, or site location which affects installation,
scheduling, site preparation, or maintenance for the Artwork or the schematic
concept of the Artwork as represented in the schematic drawings, the
approved working drawings, and the Scope of Design Build Services set forth
in Exhibit A.
1.5 Working Environment. Artist shall, at all times, maintain a safe work
area and provide safe access to both the Artwork and the sites wherein the

such testing to be performed, until (1) Artist has first provided timely notice
to City that the Artwork is ready for inspection and/or testing, and (2) City
has inspected and approved of the Artwork or consented to said testing in
writing. Artist shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all work required

having jurisdiction over Artist or the Artwork.
c. Artist shall ensure that the Artwork is installed in a safe manner,
and is designed to withstand the forces of nature it is expected to be
exposed to during its lifetime, including, but, not limited to, wind, rain,

responsible for repair or replacing the Artwork due to vandalism,
earthquake, or other casualty.

Artwork to be inspected. Within five (5) working days following completion of
Last Revised April 2015 Page 3 of 24
such inspection(s), City shall either (i) provide Artist with reasonably specific
written objections, and a list of necessary corrections to the installed Artwork
that Artist must complete, or (ii) notify Artist of its acceptance of the Artwork
by issuing a Notice of Completion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.
Said Notice of Completion shall be evidence of the satisfactory completion and
installation of the Artwork in conformity with this Agreement, subject to the
indemnification, representations, and further performance obligations set
forth in this Agreement.
1.10 Risk of Loss. Artist shall bear the risk of loss or damage to the Artwork
during fabrication and installation until City issues the Notice of Completion
indicating its acceptance of the Artwork as provided in Section 1.9. Upon
Artist's receipt of the Notice of Completion, the risk of loss or damage to the
Artwork shall be borne by City. Prior to City's issuance of the Notice of
Completion, Artist shall take such measures as are necessary to protect the
Artwork from loss or damage, through insurance or other adequate security,
and to maintain the Artwork until final acceptance by City.
1.11 Compensation to Artist. City agrees to pay Artist for the Artwork the
compensation set forth in Exhibit C. The total compensation to be paid to
Artist shall not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). The parties agree

additional financial obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE II. TIME OF PERFORMANCE
2.1 Time. Artist shall perform his/her obligations under this Agreement in
a punctual and diligent manner and in accordance with the Schedule of
Performance attached hereto as Exhibit B. In the event Artist fails to perform
fully any and all of the covenants and obligations under this Agreement, then
City may, at its option, after first giving fifteen (15) days written notice to
cure to Artist, provide any such labor and materials as may be necessary for
the completion of the Artwork. In the event Artist fails to cure within the
fifteen (15) day period, City may deduct the cost of said labor and materials
and all costs incurred in finishing the work, if applicable, from any money then
due or thereafter to become due to Artist under this Agreement until the work
undertaken by City is completely finished. Upon completion of the work, if
the unpaid balance of the amount to be paid to Artist under this Agreement
exceeds the expenses incurred by City in securing labor and materials from
other sources and/or in finishing Artist's work, such excess shall be paid to
Artist. Conversely, if the expenses incurred by City as described above exceed
the unpaid balance due to Artist, then Artist shall promptly pay to City the
amount by which such expenses exceed the remaining unpaid balance. The
expenses incurred by City, as herein provided, shall be chargeable to and paid
Last Revised April 2015 Page 4 of 24

the title of the Artwork and the year of completion, and shall reasonably
maintain such notice in good repair for as long as the Artwork is displayed.

the Artwork.
9.3 Repairs and Restoration.

professional art conservator, when and if repairs and restoration to the
Artwork will be made. At City's option, Artist, during Artist's lifetime,
may be given the opportunity to make or personally supervise significant
repairs and restorations and shall be paid a reasonable fee for any such
services, provided that City and Artist mutually agree in writing, prior to
the commencement of any significant repairs or restorations, upon
Artist's fee for such services. City shall have no obligation to utilize the
services of Artist in this respect if it chooses to have the repairs and
restoration done by other professionals. No fees shall be paid to Artist
for repair or restoration due to a breach of the representations and
warranties set forth herein.
b. All repairs and restorations shall be made in accordance with
recognized principles of conservation.
9.4 Maintenance, Alteration and Removal of the Artwork.

Last Revised April 2015
Page 8 of 24
b. If any alteration is made to the Artwork without the consent of
Artist, Artist shall have the right to direct the City to remove Artist's
name from the Artwork. In connection herewith, Artist hereby
acknowledges and agrees that Artist is familiar with the federal Visual
Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§ 106A and 113(d)), the California Art
Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code § 987 et seq.), and the rights and
protection afforded Artist thereunder. Artist, on behalf of him/herself
and on behalf of his/her successors, heirs, and assigns, hereby waives,
releases and disclaims any rights, demands or claims as may arise at
any time and under any circumstances against City, and its elected and
appointed officials, officers and employees arising under the federal
Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§ 106A and 113(d)), the California
Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code § 987 etseq.), and any other local,
state, federal or international laws that convey rights of the same
nature, or any other type of moral right protecting the integrity of works
of art to the fullest extent permitted by law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Artist expressly waives any rights under the
federal Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§ 106A and 113(d)), the
California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code § 987 et seq.), and any
other local, state, federal or international laws relating to the location,
placement, or removal and disposal of the Artwork.
c. The parties acknowledge and agree that because the Artwork is
being installed at the roundabout located at Eisenhower Drive and Calle
Sinaloa that is owned by the City, it will not be possible to preserve the
Artwork if the City determines that it no longer wishes to have the
Artwork on display at that Site Location. By way of example, the parties
recognize that is would not be feasible or practical to relocate the
Artwork after it is installed. For this reason, the parties agree that City
shall have the right at any time and for any reason, to remove, destroy,
or otherwise dispose of the Artwork, and Artist shall have no right to
notice of such actions. City shall have no obligation to preserve the
Artwork if it determines it no longer wishes to display the Artwork. In
addition, should City transfer property containing the Site Location to a
third party, all obligations of City under this Agreement shall terminate.

and of the location and disposition of the Artwork.
ARTICLE X. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER
10.1 Artist shall not assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement without
the prior written consent of City. If the assignment is approved, the parties
shall enter an assignment and assumption agreement. Any attempt by Artist
to assign, transfer, or subcontract any rights, duties, or obligations arising
Last Revised April 2015
Page 9 of 24
hereunder without City's prior written consent shall be null, void and of no
effect.
ARTICLE XI. TERMINATION
11.1 City may, at its option, by written notice to Artist, terminate this
Agreement either upon the failure by Artist to perform any of its obligations
hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof or any other breach by Artist
of the terms of this Agreement, and such failure or breach continues uncured
for fifteen (15) days following notice thereof from City to Artist
("Termination"). Upon Termination, except as provided in this Agreement, all
parties shall be released from all further obligations and liability hereunder.

all claims for injuries against persons or damages to property resulting from
Artist's acts or omissions rising out of or related to Artist's performance under
this Agreement. The insurance policy shall contain a severability of interest
clause providing that the coverage shall be primary for losses arising out of
Artist's performance hereunder and neither City nor its insurers shall be
required to contribute to any such loss. A certificate evidencing the foregoing
and naming City and its officers and employees as additional insured (on the
Commercial General Liability policy only) shall be delivered to and approved
by City prior to commencement of the services hereunder.
Artist shall carry automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per accident

indirectly employed by Artist, any subcontractor or agent, or anyone for whose
acts any of them may be liable, arising directly or indirectly out of or related
to Artist's performance under this Agreement. If Artist or Artist's employees

Last Revised April 2015 Page 19 of 24
retention is increased. In the event any of said policies of insurance are
cancelled, Artist shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of
insurance in conformance with this Exhibit to the Contract Officer. The
procuring of such insurance or the delivery of policies or certificates evidencing
the same shall not be construed as a limitation of Artist's obligation to
indemnify City, its officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or agents.
E.2 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Artist
fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to
the extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option:
a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the
premiums for such insurance from any sums due under this Agreement.
b. Order Artist to stop work under this Agreement and/or withhold
any payment(s) which become due to Artist hereunder until Artist
demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof.
c. Terminate this Agreement.
Exercise of any of the above remedies, however, is an alternative to any other
remedies City may have. The above remedies are not the exclusive remedies
for Artist's failure to maintain or secure appropriate policies or endorsements.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting in any way the extent
to which Artist may be held responsible for payments of damages to persons
or property resulting from Artist's or its subcontractors' performance of work
under this Agreement.
E.3 General Conditions Pertaining to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by
Artist. Artist and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided
by Artist:
1. Artist agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party
general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds
City, its officials, employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement
No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992. Artist also agrees to require all
contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this
Agreement shall prohibit Artist, or Artist's employees, or agents, from waiving
the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Artist agrees to waive subrogation
rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds,
and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Artist and
available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full
extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other
agreement relating to City or its operations limits the application of such
insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance
with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind
that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition
that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims,
including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of
Last Revised April 2015
Page 20 of 24
any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to
approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need
arises. Artist shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g.
elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may
affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements,
consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required
and an additional insured endorsement to Artist's general liability policy, shall
be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the
event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event
such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is
provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems
necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to
pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and
promptly paid by Artist or deducted from sums due Artist, at City option.
8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all
insurance coverage required to be provided by Artist or any subcontractor, is
intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to
any other insurance or self-insurance available to City.
9. Artist agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other
party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project
by Artist, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Artist.
Artist agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with
the requirements of this section. Artist agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be
submitted to City for review.
10. Artist agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured
retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with
the exception of professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees
that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other
entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project
contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If Artist's
existing coverage includes a deductible or self -insured retention, the
deductible or self -insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time
the City shall review options with the Artist, which may include reduction or
elimination of the deductible or self -insured retention, substitution of other
coverage, or other solutions.
11. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of
this Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by
giving the Artist ninety (90) days advance written notice ❑f such change. If
such change results in substantial additional cost to the Artist, the City will
negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to
City.
12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this
Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party
hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards
performance of this Agreement.
Last Revised April 2015

13. Artist acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged
failure on the part of City to inform Artist of non-compliance with any
insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City
nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
14. Artist will renew the required coverage annually as long as
City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type
pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the
agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this
obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
15. Artist shall provide proof that policies of insurance required
herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or
replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that
such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A
coverage binder or letter from Artist's insurance agent to this effect is
acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement
as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage
must be provided to City within five (5) days of the expiration of coverages.
16. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act
will not limit the obligations of Artist under this agreement. Artist expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with
respect to City, its employees, officials, and agents.
17. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits
contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or
other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any
party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate
and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by
the parties here to be interpreted as such.
19. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections
and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or
provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Exhibit.
20. Artist agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract
used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to
charge City or Artist for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by
this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City.
It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying
with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment
of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
21. Artist agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim
or loss against Artist arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but
not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are
likely to involve City.

EXHIBIT F
INDEMNIFICATION
F.1 General Indemnification Provision.
a. Indemnification for Professional Liability. When the law
establishes a professional standard of care for Artist's services, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, Artist shall indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel
selected by City), and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials,
employees, and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all
claims, losses, liabilities of every kind, nature, and description, damages,
injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Artist
or of any subcontractor), costs and expenses of any kind, whether actual,
alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental and
consequential damages, court costs, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses, and
fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith
and costs of investigation, to the extent same are cause in whole or in part by
any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Artist, its officers, agents,
employees or subcontractors (or any entity or individual that Artist shall bear
the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under
this agreement. With respect to the design of public improvements, the Artist
shall not be liable for any injuries or property damage resulting from the reuse
of the design at a location other than that specified in Exhibit A without the
written consent of the Artist.
b. Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability. Other than
in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by
law, Artist shall indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by City), and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any liability (including
liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative
proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind,
whether actual, alleged or threatened, including, without limitation, incidental
and consequential damages, court costs, attorneys' fees, litigation expenses,
and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses) incurred in connection
therewith and costs of investigation, where the same arise out of, are a
consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the
performance of this Agreement by Artist or by any individual or entity for
which Artist is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents,
employees, or subcontractors of Artist.
F.2 Standard Indemnification Provisions. Artist agrees to obtain executed
indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth herein this
section from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity
involved by, for, with or on behalf of Artist in the performance of this
Agreement. In the event Artist fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from
others as required herein, Artist agrees to be fully responsible according to
the terms of this Exhibit. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these
requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act
as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend
City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Artist
and shall survive the termination of this agreement or this section.
a. Limitation of Indemnity. Without affecting the rights of City under
any provision of this agreement, Artist shall not be required to indemnify and
hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City,
provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the
Last Revised April 2015 Page 23 of 24
parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances
where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City's active
negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the
obligation of Artist will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.
