compensation for services satisfactorily performed prior to the effective date of

incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.
(c) In the event of termination due to failure of the Contractor to
satisfactorily perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement , the City may
withhold an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to, but not in excess of,
the City's damages caused by such failure. In no event shall any payment by the City
pursuant to this Agreement constitute a waiver by the City of any breach of this Agreement

available to it under applicable laws of the State of California or any other applicable law;

(e) The Contractor shall provide the City with adequate written
assurances of future performance, upon the Administrator’s request, in the event the
Contractor fails to comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement.

fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the City in its
contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually
severe weather, and delays of common carriers. The Contractor shall notify the

between the parties hereto that inasmuch as the Contractor represents to the City that
the Contractor and its subcontractors, if any, are skilled in the profession and shall
perform in accordance with the standards of said profession necessary to perform the
services agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, the City relies upon the skill of the
Contractor and any subcontractors to do and perform such services in a skillful manner
and the Contractor agrees to thus perform the services and require the same of any
subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance of such services by the City shall not operate
as a release of the Contractor or any subcontractors from said professional standards.

indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City and each of its officers, officials,
employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties,

limited to personal injury, death at any time and property damage), and from any and all
claims, demands, and actions in law or equity (including reasonable attorney's fees and
litigation expenses) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness,
or willful misconduct of the Contractor, its principals, officers, employees, agents, or
volunteers in the performance of this Agreement
If the Contractor should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, the Contractor shall require each subcontractor to
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City and each of its officers, officials,
employees, agents, and volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding
paragraph.

insurance proceeds to the named insured.
(b) If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, the
Contractor or any of its subcontractors/sub-Contractors fail to maintain any required
insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be
discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due t o the Contractor
shall be withheld until notice is received by the City that the required insurance has been

shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are
applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification
to be provided by the Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or
policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of the Contractor, its
principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of the Contractor,
vendors, suppliers, invitees, Contractors, sub-Contractors, subcontractors, or anyone
employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

diversion is a more appropriate intervention. Anyone deemed eligible for diversion
services will be immediately referred to the funded Diversion Services provider.
Anyone exhibiting behavior that threatens the safety of themselves or others will
not be admitted. In the event that someone is in need of an ambulance or
assessment for medical or mental health emergency intervention, STC staff will
call emergency services on their behalf.
Upon determination of program eligibility, all guests will be registered and will sign
a participation agreement that outlines the program policies and their agreeme nt
to the services provided by STC.

notes in the guest’s file. The case notes will contain information on goal completion,
progress toward goals, successes, and information regarding any incidents at the
program. Every guest that leaves with staff knowledge prior to departure will meet with a
Case Manager to participate in an exit interview where destination will be documented,
any change in income, and an exit survey will be offered.
