Incremental payments, if applicable, should be made as outlined in attached Exhibit “A”.
6.PUBLIC WORKS
6.1 Prevailing Wage Rates. Any construction, alteration, demolition, repair, installation, 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 of Carlsbad City Engineer. Contractor shall
not pay less than the said 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

subcontractor or subconsultant under this Agreement, Contractor must furnish City with the
subcontractor or subconsultant's current DIR registration number.
7.CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the City’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. 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 City
Engineer approves otherwise, 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. Contractor
is responsible for obtaining Contractor’s own Procore support, as needed, either through the online
training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of Contractor to regularly
check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no cost to Contractor for
use of Procore.
It is recommended that 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, requests for information, 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.
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 the 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. 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.
10. OTHER CONTRACTORS
City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.
11. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by City), indemnify, and hold harmless 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 caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of 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 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 Contractor’s proportionate percentage of
fault.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorney’s fee, costs or expense City incurs or makes to or
on behalf of an injured employee under 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.
12. 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
Best's Key Rating of not less than “A-:VII”; OR with a surplus line insurer on the State of California’s List of
Approved Surplus Line Insurers (LASLI) with a rating in the latest Best’s Key Rating Guide of at least “A:X”;
OR an alien non-admitted insurer listed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)
latest quarterly listings report.
12.1 Coverage 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 City as an additional
insured.
12.1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance. Insurance written on an “occurrence” basis,
including personal and advertising injury, with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general
aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location
or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.
12.1.2 Automobile Liability. (If the use of an automobile is involved for Contractor's work for
City). $2,000,000 combined single-limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
12.1.3 Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability. Workers' Compensation limits as
required by the California Labor Code. Workers' Compensation will not be required if Contractor has no
employees and provides, to City's satisfaction, a declaration stating this.

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

Contractor’s vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 8,500 lbs. and light-duty package

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
In the event of Contractor's failure to prosecute, deliver, or perform the Services, City may terminate this
Agreement for nonperformance by notifying Contractor by certified mail of the termination. If City decides

terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Contractor. Upon notification of termination, Contractor
has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address

payment of the Agreement.
City may terminate this Agreement by tendering thirty (30) days written notice to Contractor. Contractor

termination of this Agreement by either party and upon request of City, Contractor will assemble the work

percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or any other consideration contingent upon, or resulting from, the award
or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation of this warranty, City will have the right to annul this
Agreement without liability, or, in its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, or

fee.
25. CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS
By signing this Agreement, Contractor agrees that any Agreement claim submitted to City must be
asserted as part of the Agreement process as set forth in this Agreement and not in anticipation of
litigation or in conjunction with litigation. Contractor acknowledges that if a false claim is submitted to
City, it may be considered fraud and Contractor may be subject to criminal prosecution. Contractor
acknowledges that California Government Code Sections 12650 et seq., the False Claims Act applies to
this Agreement and provides for civil penalties where a person knowingly submits a false claim to a public
entity. These provisions include false claims made with deliberate ignorance of the false information or in
reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of information. If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the
False Claims Act, it is entitled to recover its litigation costs, including attorney’s fees. Contractor
acknowledges that the filing of a false claim may subject Contractor to an administrative debarment
proceeding as the result of which Contractor may be prevented to act as a Contractor on any public work
or improvement for a period of up to five (5) years. Contractor acknowledges debarment by another
jurisdiction is grounds for City to terminate this Agreement.
26. JURISDICTION AND VENUE

to, or application of, choice of law rules or principles. Any action at law or in equity brought by either of
the parties for the purpose of enforcing a right or rights provided for by this Agreement will be tried in a

due under it may be assigned by Contractor without the prior consent of City, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
