In such event DISTRICT shall compensate CONTRACTOR, subject to deduction for previous payments (i) by reimbursing CONTRACTOR for all actual expenditures and costs incurred in performing under this Contract (ii) by reimbursing CONTRACTOR for all expenditures made and costs incurred with DISTRICT'S prior written approval in settling or discharging outstanding commitments entered into by CONTRACTOR in performing under this Contract and (iii) by paying CONTRACTOR as a profit, insofar as a profit is realized hereunder, an amount equal to the profit on the entire Contract estimated at the time of termination, multiplied by the percentage of completion of the work. In no event, however, will the compensation to CONTRACTOR exceed the total Contract price less payments previously made and less the Contract price of work not terminated. Upon receipt of any notice of Contract-Public Works Page 23 10/16/2013 Page 23 of 31 termination, CONTRACTOR shall, unless the notice otherwise directs, (i) immediately discontinue the work and the placing of all orders and subcontracts in connection with this Contract, (ii) immediately cancel all existing orders and subcontracts made hereunder and (iii) immediately transfer to DISTRICT all materials, supplies, work-in-process, appliances, facilities, equipment, machinery and tools acquired by CONTRACTOR in connection with the performance of this Contract. 27. CONTRACTOR'S Independent Investigation. No plea of ignorance of conditions that exist or that may hereafter exist, or of conditions or difficulties that may be encountered in the execution of the work under this Contract, as a result of failure to make the necessary independent examinations and investigations, and no plea of reliance on initial investigations or reports prepared by DISTRICT for purposes of letting this Contract out to bid, will be accepted as an excuse for any failure or omission on the part of the CONTRACTOR to fulfill in every detail all requirements of said Contract, specifications, and plans. Nor will such reasons be accepted as a basis for any claims whatsoever for extra compensation or for an extension of time except as provided in Paragraph 28 of this Contract. 10/16/2013 Page 24 of 31 28. Damages/Extra Work Compensation. No claim for extra work or expense shall be payable unless brought to the DISTRICT’s attention as soon as possible so the situation can be observed or documented. 29. Other Documents Included. This provision does not apply to this Contract. 30. Interpretation. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or incongruity between the provisions of this contract and the provisions of any other document or amendments thereto, the provisions of this Contract shall control in all respects. 31. Attorney's Fees. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which he may be entitled. If any action is brought against the CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to 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 obligation shall be provided for in the payment bond required by the CONTRACTOR. The DISTRICT shall further have the right to offset any such costs and expenses incurred by DISTRICT against any sums owing to CONTRACTOR under the agreement. 33. Insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide proof of commercial general liability and workers’ compensation insurance before starting the job as described in Exhibit ____. 34. Indemnification. CONTRACTOR and DISTRICT agree that DISTRICT should, 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, 10/16/2013 Page 25 of 31 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. 35. 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. 36. Assignment. No assignment by the CONTRACTOR of this Contract or any part 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. 10/16/2013 Page 26 of 31 37. Safety and Site Condition. CONTRACTOR shall perform all operations with 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 also be CONTRACTOR'S duty to dust-palliate all working areas and access routes, if applicable. All operations shall be conducted by CONTRACTOR so that no fire hazards are created. 38.
