ART PURCHASE AGREEMENT

17th day of February 2025, by and among THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, a California
municipal corporation ("City"), and NATE FRIZZELL ("Artist").
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 an exterior wall of
La Quinta City Hall at 78495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253. (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..

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 B, respectively, and
incorporated herein by this reference (the "Design and Fabrication Services"). Artist shall
perform his/her obligations in strict conformance with the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement and shall take all other actions necessary and incidental to the
performance of said obligations.
1.2 Periodic Review. City shall have the right to review the Artwork at reasonable
times during the fabrication thereof. Artist shall submit to City regular progress narratives,
including photographs, as required by the Schedule of Performance set forth in Exhibit
B. The narratives shall clearly state the percentage of the Artwork completed to date and

Artwork due to vandalism, earthquake, or other casualty.

(5) working days following completion of 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.

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.

Last Revised April 2015 Page 3 of 21

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 by Artist.

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

Last Revised April 2015 Page 7 of 21
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.

location and disposition of the Artwork.
ARTICLE X. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER

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 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. Effective upon

Artist shall procure and maintain, at its cost, and submit concurrently with its execution
of this Agreement, Commercial General Liability insurance against 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

prior to commencement of the services hereunder.
Artist shall carry automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per accident against all

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 will use personal autos in any way on this project, Artist shall
provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person. The term
"automobile" includes, but is not limited to, a land motor vehicle, trailer or semi -trailer
designed for travel on public roads. The automobile insurance policy shall contain a
severability of interest clause providing that coverage shall be primary for losses arising
out of Artist's performance hereunder and neither City nor its insurers shall be required

Artist shall provide written notice to City within ten (10) working days if: (1) any of the
required insurance policies is terminated; (2) the limits of any of the required polices are
reduced; or (3) the deductible or self -insured 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.
Last Revised April 2015 Page 18 of 21
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 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 of 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.
13. Artist acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure
Last Revised April 2015 Page 19 of 21
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 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.
