4. PUBLIC WORKS (INTENTIONALLY OMITTED)
5. 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 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. 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, 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 the contractor of any other requirements as may be specified in
this Agreement.
6. BONDS (INTENTIONALLY OMITTED)
7. 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 the 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.
8. 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.
9. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.
10. 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 attorney’s fees arising out of the
performance of the work described herein caused by any negligence, recklessness, or willful

misconduct 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 herein, 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, costs 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.
11. 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

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.
11.1 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.
11.1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance. Insurance written on an
“occurrence” basis, including personal & 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.

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 attorneys 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.

regard to, or application of choice of law principles. Contractor agrees and stipulates that the
proper venue and jurisdiction for resolution of any disputes between the parties arising out of
