documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight
on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by City inaction or other agencies' lack of timely action. In no
event shall a specific Task Description exceed the term of this Agreement.
5. COMPENSATION
The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed five hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000). Fees will be paid on a project-by-project basis and will be based on
Contractor’s Schedule of Rates specified in Exhibit “A”. Payment terms are Net 30 unless otherwise
provided in Exhibit “A”. Payment terms are Net 30 unless otherwise provided in Exhibit “A” or agreed to
in writing by the parties. Prior to initiation of any project work by Contractor, City shall prepare a Project
Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for City,
the City Manager or Director, will be considered a part of this Agreement. The Task Description will include
a detailed scope of services for the particular project being considered and a statement of Contractor's
fee to complete the project in accordance with the specified scope of services. The Task Description will
also include a description of the method of payment and will be based upon an hourly rate, percentage
of project complete, completion of specific project tasks or a combination of these.
If the City elects to extend the term of the Master Services Agreement, adjustments to the rate schedule
may be permitted. Upon receipt of a written request from the Contractor, the City may consider approving
a rate schedule increase. Rate schedule increases will be considered for each anniversary of the
Agreement effective date after the initial three-year term. An increase to the rate schedule will be
calculated based on the proceeding 12-month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, San Diego
Area, for All Urban Customers (CPI-U), as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or 5.0%, whichever is
lower. If the CPI-U is a negative number, then the rate schedule will not be adjusted for that year. The
Contractor must submit a request and justification to increase the rate schedule at least sixty days prior
to the anniversary of the effective date, assuming the City opt to extend the Master Services Agreement.
The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested
adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or
5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by the City must be documented in an
amendment to the Agreement.
6. PUBLIC WORKS
6.1 Prevailing Wage Rates. Any construction, alteration, demolition, repair, and maintenance work,
including work performed during design and preconstruction such as inspection and land surveying work,
cumulatively exceeding $1,000 and performed under this Agreement constitute “public works” under
California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. and are subject to state prevailing wage laws. The general
prevailing rate of wages, for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract, shall be those
as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Section 1770, 1773 and 1773.1 of
the California Labor Code. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the California Labor Code, a current copy of
applicable wage rates is on file in the office of the City Engineer. Contractor shall not pay less than the
specified prevailing rates of wages to all such workers employed by Contractor in the execution of the
Agreement. Contractor and any subcontractors shall comply with Section 1776 of the California Labor
Code, which generally requires keeping accurate payroll records, verifying and certifying payroll records,
and making them available for inspection. Contractor shall require any subcontractors to comply with
Section 1776.
6.2 DIR Registration. California Labor Code Section 1725.5 requires the Contractor and any subcontractor
performing any public work under this Agreement to be currently registered with the California
Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in California Labor Code Section 1725.5. California

Labor Code Section 1771.1 provides that a contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to engage in
the performance of any contract for public work unless currently registered and qualified to perform
public work pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1725.5. Prior to the performance of public work by
any subcontractor under this Agreement, Contractor must furnish City with the subcontractor's current
DIR registration number.
7. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the Owner’s Procore
(www.procore.com) online project management and document control platform. The intent of utilizing
Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team
dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and
decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user
account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through
Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If
unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall
complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification-
subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either
through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of the
Contractor to regularly check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no
cost to the Contractor for use of Procore.
It is recommended that the Contractor provide mobile access for Windows, iOS located at
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/procore-construction-management/id374930542 or Android devices
located at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procore.activities with the Procore App
installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings,
specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient
observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and
productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve Contractor of any
other requirements as may be specified in this Agreement or Task Descriptions.
8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit
of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of City. Contractor will be under control of
City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by
Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any
purposes.
The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation
to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of
Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City will not be required to pay any workers'
compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or
subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement
contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation
payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or
subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct
the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

9. CONTRACTOR EVALUATIONS
Work performed under this Master Services Agreement may be subject to the City’s contractor evaluation
program. Prior to the release of any task orders, the Contractor will be notified of the program
requirements and will receive a copy of the evaluation criteria and process. The Contractor’s performance
may be evaluated and the results will be considered for future task orders or agreements.
10. SUBCONTRACTING
Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City. If
Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City for the acts and
omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the
subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor.
Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor
of Contractor and City. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind
every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement
applicable to Contractor's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved
in writing by City.
11. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.
12. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City
and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims,
damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work
described in this Agreement and Task Descriptions caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or
omission of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or
anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.
If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s
performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under California Civil Code Section
2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by California Civil Code Section 2782.8, which is fully
incorporated in this Agreement, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that
arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor,
and, upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction. Contractor’s
liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate
percentage of fault.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorneys fee, cost or expense City incurs or makes to or
on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation program is
included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the
expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
13. INSURANCE
Contractor will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments,
insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in
connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives,
employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and
authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance carrier is required to have a current

13.1 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits
indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager approves a lower amount. These minimum
amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Contractor's indemnification obligations
under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents and employees make no representation that the limits of
the insurance specified to be carried by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect
Contractor. If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will
obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.
The full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to the City as an
additional insured.

with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. Coverage must be maintained for a period of five years

Agreement contain, or are endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

shall provide primary coverage to the City.
13.2.2 Contractor will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be
written as claims-made coverage.
13.2.3 If Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires
and will be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance
proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage will be available to the City.”

Manager will be binding upon the parties involved, although nothing in this procedure will prohibit the
parties from seeking remedies available to them at law.
23. TERMINATION

this Agreement for nonperformance by notifying Contractor by certified mail of the termination. If City
