enforce a Stop Notice or Notice to Withhold, which names the DISTRICT as a party to said
action, DISTRICT shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs and necessary
disbursements.
32. Additional Costs. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to reimburse the
DISTRICT a sum equal to the expenses of administration and legal services required to be
expended by the DISTRICT in processing Notices to Withhold, Stop Notices, or similar legal
documents arising out of a failure of the CONTRACTOR to pay for labor or materials. Said

to the extent permitted by law, be fully protected from any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit,
cost, expense, attorneys fees, litigation costs, defense costs, court costs or any other cost
arising out of or in any way related to the performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, the
provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the parties to be interpreted and
construed to provide the fullest protection possible under the law to the DISTRICT, except for
liability attributable to the DISTRICT's active negligence. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that
DISTRICT would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of this commitment from
CONTRACTOR to indemnify and protect DISTRICT as set forth here.
To the full extent permitted by law and excepting only the active negligence of DISTRICT,
established by a court of competent jurisdiction or written agreement between the parties,
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless DISTRICT, its employees, agents
and officials, from any liability, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative
proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual,
alleged or threatened, actual attorney fees incurred by DISTRICT, court costs, interest, defense
costs including expert witness fees and any other costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever
without restriction or limitation incurred in relation to, as a consequence of or arising out of or in
any way attributable actually, allegedly or impliedly, in whole or in part to the performance of the
Agreement. All obligations under this provision are to be paid by CONTRACTOR as incurred by
DISTRICT.
Without affecting the rights of DISTRICT under any provision of this Agreement or this Section,
CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless DISTRICT as set forth
above for liability attributable to the active negligence of DISTRICT, provided such active
negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or the findings of a court of
competent jurisdiction. This exception will apply only in instances where the DISTRICT is
shown to have been actively negligent and not in instances where CONTRACTOR is solely or
partially at fault or in instances where DISTRICT's active negligence accounts for only a
percentage of the liability involved. In those instances, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be
for that portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of DISTRICT as
determined by written agreement between the parties or the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this or any other provision of this Agreement will not
be limited by the provisions of any workers' compensation act or similar act. CONTRACTOR
expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to DISTRICT, its
employees and officials.
CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to
those set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor, sub -tier contractor or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of
subject matter of this Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity
obligations from others as required here, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible
according to the terms of this section.
Failure of DISTRICT to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional
obligations on DISTRICT and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This
obligation to indemnify and defend DISTRICT as set forth herein is binding on the successors,
assigns, or heirs of CONTRACTOR and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this
section.
36. Permits. The CONTRACTOR shall obtain from DISTRICT, County, State, or
other responsible public agencies all licenses and permits, and pay all fees related thereto,
necessary to complete the job.

hereof, or of funds to be received hereunder, will be recognized by the DISTRICT unless such
assignment has had prior written approval and consent of the DISTRICT and the Surety.

due regard for safety and in strict compliance with all applicable laws relating thereto. It shall be
CONTRACTOR'S responsibility to keep the site in a clean, neat and orderly condition. It shall

applicable. All operations shall be conducted by CONTRACTOR so that no fire hazards are
created.
