from and against any and all suits, actions, or claims, of any character
whatever, brought for, or on account of, any injuries or damages
sustained by any person or property resulting or arising from any

of CONSULTANT's officers, agents, employees, or representatives, in
the performance of this Agreement, except for such loss or damage
arising from CITY's sole negligence or willful misconduct.
Agreement No. 6749
ii. Indemnification for other Damages. CONSULTANT indemnifies and

liability, arising out of this Agreement, or its performance, except for
such loss or damage arising from CITY's sole negligence or willful
misconduct. Should CITY be named in any suit, or should any claim

satisfactory to CITY) and will indemnify CITY for any judgment
rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise.
ii . Intellectual Property Infringement. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary, CONSULTANT will, at its own expense, indemnify and
defend CITY against any claim that CONSULTANT's services or
work product furnished under this Agreement infringes a patent or

using CONSULTANT's services and work product or to replace it
with comparable services and work product.
B. For purposes of this section "CITY" includes CITY's elected and appointed
officials, officers, employees, and volunteers.
C. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive
termination of this Agreement.
D. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained
by CONSULTANT as required by Section 6, and any approval of said insurance
by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the
liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning
indemnification.
6. INSURANCE.
Agreement No. 6749
A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this
Agreement is effective, Consultant will procure and maintain the following types

forth below:
Type_ of Insurance
Commercial general liability:

Limits combined single)
$1,000,000
$1,000,000
Statutory requirement.
B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
the most current ISO-CGL Form. The amount of insurance set forth above will
be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and
property damage for the policy coverage. Liability policies will be endorsed to
name City, its officials, and employees as "additional insureds" under said
insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed "primary"

not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice to City.

insurance in effect for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or
is terminated ("extended insurance"). Such extended insurance will have the same
coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this
Agreement and will cover Consultant for all claims made by City arising out of
any errors or omissions of Consultant, or its officers, employees or agents during
the time this Agreement was in effect.
D. Consultant will furnish to City duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance
evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement,
endorsements as required herein, and such other evidence of insurance or copies
of policies as may be reasonably required by City from time to time. Insurance
must be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating
equivalent to at least a Rating of "A: VII."
E. Should Consultant, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, City may obtain such coverage at Consultant's
expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to Consultant
under this Agreement or terminate.
7. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
Agreement No. 6749
A. During the term of this Agreement, CITY may, in its sole discretion, terminate

may exercise such right of termination on behalf of CITY.
B. Except as otherwise provided, upon termination of this Agreement, CITY will be
liable to CONSULTANT only for all work done by CONSULTANT up to and
including the date of termination of this Agreement unless the termination is for
cause, in which event CONSULTANT need be compensated only to the extent
required by law.

to deal fairly and effectively with and to satisfy a public agency.

contained in this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the
same or any other term, covenant, or condition contained in this Agreement whether of the same
or different character. The payment or acceptance of fees for any period after a default will not
be deemed a waiver of any right or acceptance of defective performance.
20. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such portion will be deemed modified to the
extent necessary in the opinion of the court to render such portion enforceable and as so
