Any construction, alteration, demolition, installation, 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 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 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. 4.2 DIR Registration. California Labor Code section 1725.5 requires the Contractor and any subcontractor or subconsultant performing any public work under this Agreement to be currently registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in Labor Code section 1725.5. Labor Code section 1771.1 provides that a contractor or subcontractor/subconsultant 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 Labor Code section 1725.5. Prior to the performance of public work by any subcontractor or subconsultant under this Agreement, Contractor must furnish CMWD with the subcontractor or subconsultant's current DIR registration number, including submitting the form provided in Exhibit “B”. 5. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize CMWD’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 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 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, Docusign Envelope ID: 9937DC2B-241D-4A30-BBA9-918CF72CBE1E MSA26-4019UTIL General Counsel Approved Version 6/30/2025 Page 3 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. 6. 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 CMWD. Contractor will be under the control of CMWD only as to the result to be accomplished but will consult with CMWD as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of CMWD for any purposes. The payment made to Contractor pursuant to the Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. CMWD will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. CMWD 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 CMWD within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which CMWD may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At CMWD’s election, CMWD may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor. 7. SUBCONTRACTING Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of CMWD. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to CMWD 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 CMWD. 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 CMWD. 8. OTHER CONTRACTORS CMWD reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services. 9. INDEMNIFICATION Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by CMWD), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, indemnify, and hold harmless CMWD and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including reasonable 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 Docusign Envelope ID: 9937DC2B-241D-4A30-BBA9-918CF72CBE1E MSA26-4019UTIL General Counsel Approved Version 6/30/2025 Page 4 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, reasonable attorney’s fees, costs or expense CMWD or the City of Carlsbad incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under CMWD’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. If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s performance as a “design profession” (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 into 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. 10.

Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless the Risk Manager or Executive 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. CMWD, 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 CMWD as an additional insured. 10.1.1 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.
