Vendor Agreement Over $50K
4929-1960-5892 vl
insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and
umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall
contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also
apply on primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before

it as named insured.
G. CITY'S RIGHTS OF ENFORCEMENT. In the event any policy

Risk Management.
I. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. All insurance coverage
maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to
waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents,
officials, employees, representatives and volunteers or shall specifically
allow VENDOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with
these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. VENDOR
hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY and shall require
similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its
subcontractors.
J. ENFORCEMENT OF CONTRACT PROVISIONS (NON
ESTOPPEL). VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or
alleged failure on part of the CITY to inform VENDOR of non-compliance
with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor
does it waive any rights hereunder.
K. REQUIREMENTS NOT LIMITING. Requirements of specific
coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as
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. If the VENDOR
Vendor Agreement Over $50K
4929-1960-5892 v 1
maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires
and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the
VENDOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.
L. NOTICE OF CANCELLATION. VENDOR agrees to oblige its
insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the CITY 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.
If any of the VENDOR'S insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then
VENDOR shall have the responsibility of notifying the CITY immediately in
the event of VENDOR'S failure to renew any of the required insurance
coverages, or insurer's cancellation or nonrenewal.
M. ADDITIONAL INSURED STATUS. General Liability,
Automobile Liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall
provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials,
employees, agents, representatives, and volunteers shall be additional
insureds under such policies.
N. PROHIBITION OF UNDISCLOSED COVERAGE
LIMITATIONS. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance
with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind
that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.
O. SEPARATION OF INSUREDS. A severability of interests
provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that VENDOR'S
insurance shall apply separately to each insured again whom claim is made
or suit is brough, except with respect to the insurer's limits of liability. The
policy(ies) shall not contain any cross -liability exclusions.
P. PASS THOUGH CLAUSE. VENDOR agrees to ensure that its
subcontractors, and any other party who is brough onto or involved in the
project/service by VENDOR (hereinafter collectively "subcontractor"),
provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required
of VENDOR. VENDOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and
assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in
conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event
VENDOR'S subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof
must be submitted to the CITY, VENDOR shall be required to ensure that
its subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and
endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with
subcontractor's scope of work and services, with limits less than required of
the VENDOR, but in all other terms consistent with the VENDOR's
requirements under this agreement. This provision does not relieve the
VENDOR' of its contractual obligations under the agreement and/or limit its
liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors.
IVA
Vendor Agreement Over $50K
4929-1960-5892 vl
This provision is intended to solely provide VENDOR with the ability to
utilize a subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work
or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the
VENDOR under this agreement given the limited scope of work or services
provided by the subcontractor. CONSULANT agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors, and others engaged in this project, will be
submitted to CITY for review.
Q. CITY'S RIGHT TO REVISE SPECIFICATIONS. The CITY
reserves the right to at any time during the term of the contract to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the VENDOR ninety
(90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the VENDOR, the CITY and VENDOR may
renegotiate the VENDOR'S compensation.
R. SELF -INSURED RETENTIONS. Any self -insured retentions
must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to
require that self -insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a
deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related
investigations, claim administrative, and defense expenses within the
retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
S. TIMELY NOTICE OF CLAIMS. VENDOR shall give CITY
prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of
or result from VENDOR'S performance under this agreement, and that
involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

maintain, at this own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance,
which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and
prosecution of the work.

recognized accounting basis. VENDOR will also maintain all other records,

4929-1960-5892 vl
liabilities, or damages suffered by CITY, and all amounts for which CITY may be
liable to third parties, by reason of VENDOR's acts or omissions in performing or
failing to perform VENDOR's obligations under this Agreement. In the event that
any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by
VENDOR, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim,
CITY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of
the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of CITY to
exercise the right to deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations
of VENDOR to insure, indemnify, and protect CITY as elsewhere provided in this
Agreement.
13. NON-DISCRIMINATION. VENDOR shall not discriminate in its

or services hereunder.

to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act

unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this
AGREEMENT, and should the Federal Government impose sanctions against the
CITY for such use of unauthorized aliens, VENDOR hereby agrees to, and shall,
reimburse CITY for the cost of all such sanctions imposed, together with any and
all costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the CITY in connection therewith.

litigation shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys' fees, in addition to

City of Rosemead
against CITY and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance
clauses from each of its subcontractors.

VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on part of
the CITY to inform VENDOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no
additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

features or limits contained in this section are not intended as 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

any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a
waiver of any type. If the VENDOR maintains higher limits than the minimums

nonrenewal.

separately to each insured again whom claim is made or suit is brough, except
with respect to the insurer's limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any

City of Rosemead
PASS THOUGH CLAUSE. VENDOR agrees to ensure that its
subcontractors, and any other party who is brough onto or involved in the
project/service by VENDOR (hereinafter collectively "subcontractor"), provide the
same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of VENDOR.
VENDOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. However, in the event VENDOR'S subcontractor
cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the CITY,
VENDOR shall be required to ensure that its subcontractor provide and maintain
insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure
involved with subcontractor's scope of work and services, with limits less than
required of the VENDOR, but in all other terms consistent with the VENDOR's
requirements under this agreement. This provision does not relieve the VENDOR'
of its contractual obligations under the agreement and/or limit its liability to the
amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is
intended to solely provide VENDOR with the ability to utilize a subcontractor who
may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the
same insurance limits as required of the VENDOR under this agreement given the
limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. CONSULANT
agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors, and others engaged
in this project, will be submitted to CITY for review.
CITY'S RIGHT TO REVISE SPECIFICATIONS. The CITY reserves the right
to at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving the VENDOR ninety (90) days advance written notice
of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the
VENDOR, the CITY and VENDOR may renegotiate the VENDOR'S
compensation.
SELF -INSURED RETENTIONS. Any self -insured retentions must be
declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self -
insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require
proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administrative, and
defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
TIMELY NOTICE OF CLAIMS. VENDOR shall give CITY prompt and timely
notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from VENDOR'S
performance under this agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage
under any of the required liability policies.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCE. VENDOR shall also procure and maintain, at
this own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
City of Rosemead
11. VENDOR'S RECORDS
Records of the VENDOR's time pertaining to the services and records of accounts
between the CITY and the VENDOR will be kept on a generally recognized accounting basis.
VENDOR will also maintain all other records, including without limitation invoices,
correspondence, specifications, drawings, progress reports, and the like, relating to the
VENDOR's services. All records will be available to CITY during normal working hours.
VENDOR will maintain these records for three (3) years after final payment.
12. RETENTION OF FUNDS
VENDOR authorizes CITY to deduct from any amount payable to VENDOR (whether or
not arising out of this Agreement) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or that
are necessary to compensate CITY for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by
CITY, and all amounts for which CITY may be liable to third parties, by reason of VENDOR's
acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform VENDOR's obligations under this
Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which
is disputed by VENDOR, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim,
CITY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the
withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of CITY to exercise the right to
deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations of VENDOR to insure, indemnify,
and protect CITY as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.
13. NON-DISCRIMINATION. VENDOR shall not discriminate in its recruiting, hiring,
promotion, demotion or termination practices on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin,
ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, martial status, sex, age, or
sexual preference, in the performance of this AGREEMENT and shall comply with the provisions
of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act as set forth in Part 2.8 of Division 3, Title 2
of the California Government Code; the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as set forth in Public
Law 88-352, and all amendments thereto; Executive Order 11246; and all administrative rules
and regulations issued pursuant to such acts and order.
14. NON -LIABILITY OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
No officer or employee of CITY will be personally liable to VENDOR, in the event of any
default or breach by the CITY or for any amount that may become due to VENDOR under this
Agreement.
15. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
A. VENDOR is and shall at all times remain as to the CITY a wholly independent
contractor. VENDOR's employees performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of

time or in any manner represent that it or any of its employees or agents are in any manner

employees or agents of the CITY. VENDOR shall not incur nor have the power to incur any debt,
obligation, or liability whatsoever against CITY, or bind CITY in any manner.

performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to VENDOR as provided in the
Agreement, CITY shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to VENDOR and/or its
