nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR's negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct in the performance of work hereunder, or its failure to comply with any of its
obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, except such loss or damage which is caused by the
sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the DISTRICT. Should conflict of interest

or should DISTRICT otherwise find CONTRACTOR's legal counsel unacceptable, then
CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the DISTRICT its costs of defense, including without limitation
reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation. The

is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and
inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this

CONTRACTOR's obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment,
civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However,
without affecting the rights of DISTRICT under any provision of this AGREEMENT,
CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless DISTRICT for liability
attributable to the active negligence of DISTRICT, provided such active negligence is determined
by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In
instances where DISTRICT is shown to have been actively negligent and where DISTRICT's
active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of
CONTRACTOR will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active
negligence of DISTRICT.
Notwithstanding any limits provided for indemnification, CONTRACTOR's duty to defend
is broader. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide DISTRICT with a defense, with counsel reasonably
acceptable to DISTRICT, or pay DISTRICT's costs of defense upon service of any complaint,
petition or other pleading that requires DISTRICT to defend itself in any proceeding arising out of
the work described in this AGREEMENT. Said obligation shall not extend to disputes between

to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of
recovery against DISTRICT and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance
clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of AGREEMENT provisions (non estoppel). CONTRACTOR
acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the DISTRICT to inform
CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the
DISTRICT, nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits
contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements,
or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not
intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a
waiver of any type.
Notice of cancellation. CONTRACTOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker
and insurers to provide DISTRICT with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for
nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each
required coverage.
Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to
provide that DISTRICT and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional
insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies.
DISTRICT's right to revise requirements. The DISTRICT reserves the right, at any time
during the term of the AGREEMENT, to change the amounts and types of insurance required by
giving the CONTRACTOR a ninety (90)-day advance written notice of such change. If such
change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the DISTRICT and
CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR's compensation.
Self -insured retentions. Any self -insured retentions must be declared to and approved
by DISTRICT. DISTRICT reserves the right to require that self -insured retentions be eliminated,
lowered or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these
specifications unless approved by DISTRICT.
Timely notice of claims. CONTRACTOR shall give DISTRICT prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONTRACTOR's performance
under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required
liability policies.
Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost
and expense, any additional kinds of insurance which in his/her/its own judgment may be
necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
HGSD 2016 CIP A-11 Agreement
29. Workers' Compensation.
A. CONTRACTOR shall carry Workers' Compensation Insurance, and require all
subcontractors to carry Workers' Compensation Insurance, as required by the
Labor Code of the State of California. CONTRACTOR, by executing this
AGREEMENT, hereby certifies:
"I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which
require every employer to be insured against liability for Workers'
Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the work of this AGREEMENT."
B. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that it is unlawful and a crime to intentionally make
false statements about employees that misclassify their job duties to obtain lesser premium costs
or for other improper purposes. CONTRACTOR agrees that if it makes false statements about
its employees for the purpose of obtaining lower workers' compensation premiums or for other
unlawful purposes, it shall be considered a material breach of this AGREEMENT.
30. Bonds. Within the time period set forth in the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS and
prior to commencing the work on the PROJECT, the CONTRACTOR shall file with the DISTRICT
a good and sufficient labor and material payment bond (Payment Bond) and a performance bond
(Performance Bond) in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum covering
performance of the work other than the professional design services portion of the work. The
Performance Bond and Payment Bond shall be in the form required by the CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS. The amounts of the Payment Bond and Performance Bond shall be increased
as, when, and in the amount of any Change Orders that are executed increasing the Contract
Sum, the CONTRACTOR shall, upon request by the DISTRICT, provide evidence of such
increases. Should the Payment Bond or Performance Bond or any Surety on such bond become
or be determined by the DISTRICT to be insufficient, it shall be replaced within ten (10) days by
a bond that fully complies with the requirements of this Section. No further payments to the
CONTRACTOR for the work performed shall be made or due until the CONTRACTOR has fully
complied with the requirements of this Section.
Duration. The Payment Bond shall remain in effect until acceptance of the work by the
DISTRICT and payment of all stop notices and claims by the CONTRACTOR or the
subcontractors, of any tier, have been satisfied. The Performance Bond shall remain in effect
and assure faithful performance of all the CONTRACTOR's obligations under the CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS, including, without limitation, all obligations that survive final completion or
termination, such as, but not limited to, CONTRACTOR's warranty, commissioning, and indemnity
obligations.
Surety. At the time the AGREEMENT is signed, and at all times thereafter until final
payment has been made by the DISTRICT, the Surety on the Payment Bond shall be an Admitted
Surety, and the Surety on the Performance Bond shall be a licensed Surety in good standing with
the California Department of Insurance and have an A.M. Best's Insurance Rating of not less than
A-: VI.
Premiums. The premiums for all bonds are included in the Contract Sum and shall be
paid by the CONTRACTOR.
HGSD 2016 CIP A-12 Agreement
Obligee. The Payment Bond and Performance Bond shall each name the DISTRICT as
obligee. All bonds purchased by the subcontractors shall name the CONTRACTOR and the
DISTRICT as dual obligees.
No exoneration. Changes, Change Orders, Unilateral Change Orders, Field Orders,
modifications, and adjustments to the Contract Sum or completion date shall in no way release
or exonerate the CONTRACTOR or its Surety from their obligations, and notice thereof shall be
waived by the Surety. The foregoing provision shall be included in the terms of the Payment
Bond, Performance Bond, and any bonds obtained by the subcontractors.
Communications. The DISTRICT shall have the right to communicate with the
CONTRACTOR's Sureties with respect to matters that are related to the CONTRACTOR's
performance of its obligations under the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. CONTRACTOR shall be
provided with a copy of all such written communications. Such communications shall not create,
or be interpreted as creating, any contractual relationship between the DISTRICT and the Surety.
No limitation. The requirements of this Section pertaining to the Performance Bond and
the Payment Bond shall be without limitation to any other obligations the CONTRACTOR may
have under applicable law to provide bonding for the benefit of and to assure payment to the
subcontractors or subconsultants performing the work for the PROJECT.
TERMINATION
31. Termination.
A. If CONTRACTOR should fail to comply with any of the provisions hereof, in the
event CONTRACTOR should become the subject of a proceeding under state or federal law for
relief of debtors, or if CONTRACTOR makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, DISTRICT
shall have the right to hold CONTRACTOR in default and cancel this AGREEMENT in whole or
in part.
B. Should CONTRACTOR, at any time during the progress of the work, refuse or
neglect to supply sufficient material or labor, or fail in compliance with any provision of this
AGREEMENT, DISTRICT shall have the right, without prejudice to any other right or remedy it
may have, to provide such materials and labor, or make good such deficiencies as DISTRICT
may deem expedient after three (3) day notice in writing, delivered or mailed to CONTRACTOR
at his last address on file with DISTRICT, and CONTRACTOR shall be liable for the cost and
expense thereof which may be deducted by DISTRICT from any money due or that may become
due CONTRACTOR.
C. Without limiting any rights which DISTRICT may have by reason of any default by
CONTRACTOR hereunder, DISTRICT reserves the right to terminate this AGREEMENT in whole
or in part at its convenience. In such event DISTRICT shall compensate CONTRACTOR, subject
to deduction for previous payments and authorized deductions, by: (i) reimbursing
CONTRACTOR for all actual expenditures and costs incurred in performing under this
AGREEMENT, (ii) reimbursing CONTRACTOR for all expenditures made and costs incurred with
DISTRICT's prior written approval in settling or discharging outstanding commitments entered
HGSD 2016 CIP A-13 Agreement
into by CONTRACTOR in performing under this AGREEMENT, and (iii) paying CONTRACTOR
as a profit, insofar as a profit is realized hereunder, an amount equal to the profit on the entire
AGREEMENT 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
AGREEMENT price less payments previously made and less the AGREEMENT price of work not
terminated. Upon receipt of any notice of 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 AGREEMENT, (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 AGREEMENT.
