Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be independently responsible for reviewing the applicable laws and regulations and effectuating compliance with such laws. Contracting Party shall require the same of all subcontractors. 2. Retention. Payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.0 of the Agreement. In accordance with said Sections, City shall pay Contracting Party a sum based upon ninety-five percent (95%) of the Contract Sum apportionment of the labor and materials incorporated into the Services under this Agreement during the month covered by said invoice. The remaining five percent (5%) thereof shall be retained as performance security to be paid to Contracting Party within sixty (60) days after final acceptance of the Services by the City Council of City, after Contracting Party has furnished City with a full release of all undisputed payments under this Agreement, if required by City. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contracting Party from the operation of the release, City may retain proceeds (per Public Contract Code § 7107) of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount in dispute. City’s failure to deduct or withhold shall not affect Contracting Party’s obligations under the Agreement. 3. Utility Relocation.

City shall reimburse Contracting Party for any costs incurred in locating, repairing damage not caused by Contracting Party, and removing or relocating such unidentified utility facilities. Contracting Party shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay arising from the removal or relocation of such unidentified utility facilities. 4. Trenches or Excavations. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 7104, in the event the work included in this Agreement requires excavations more than four (4) feet in depth, the following shall apply: (a) Contracting Party shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contracting Party believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site different from those indicated by information about the site made available to bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids; or (3) unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Agreement. Exhibit A Page 4 of 4 (b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in Contracting Party’s cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work shall issue a change order per Section 1.8 of the Agreement. (c) in the event that a dispute arises between City and Contracting Party whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in Contracting Party’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, Contracting Party shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by this Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this Agreement. Contracting Party shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting Parties. 5. Safety. Contracting Party shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out the Services, Contracting Party shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of employees appropriate to the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. Safety precautions as applicable shall include, but shall not be limited to: (A) adequate life protection and lifesaving equipment and procedures; (B) instructions in accident prevention for all employees and subcontractors, such as safe walkways, scaffolds, fall protection ladders, bridges, gang planks, confined space procedures, trenching and shoring, equipment and other safety devices, equipment and wearing apparel as are necessary or lawfully required to prevent accidents or injuries; and (C) adequate facilities for the proper inspection and maintenance of all safety measures. 6. Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of the Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Contracting Party shall be liable for and shall pay to City the sum of One Thousand dollars ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the Services required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance. In addition, liquidated damages may be assessed for failure to comply with the emergency call out requirements, if any, described in the Scope of Services.

E.3 General Conditions Pertaining to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by Contracting Party. Contracting Party and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contracting Party: 1. Contracting Party 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. Contracting Party also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contracting Party, or Contracting Party’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contracting Party 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. Exhibit E Page 4 of 6 3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contracting Party 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 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. Contracting Party 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 the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contracting Party’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 Contracting Party or deducted from sums due Contracting Party, at City option. 8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contracting Party 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. Contracting Party agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by Contracting Party, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contracting Party. Contracting Party 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. Contracting Party agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. 10. Contracting Party 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 Exhibit E Page 5 of 6 to self-insure its obligations to City. If Contracting Party’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 Contracting Party, 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 Contracting Party ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contracting Party, 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. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contracting Party 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. Contracting Party 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 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. Contracting Party 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 Contracting Party’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and an additional insured endorsement is 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 Contracting Party under this agreement. Contracting Party 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. Exhibit E Page 6 of 6 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.Contracting Party 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 Contracting Party 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.Contracting Party agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contracting Party 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.

Without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this agreement, Contracting Party 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 Contracting Party will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City. Exhibit F Page 1 of 2 d.Indemnification Provision for Design Professionals. 1.Applicability of this Section F.1(d). Notwithstanding Section F.1(a) hereinabove, the following indemnification provision shall apply to a Contracting Party who constitutes a “design professional” as the term is defined in paragraph 3 below. 2.Scope of Indemnification.

In the event Contracting Party fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Contracting Party agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this Exhibit.
