RECITALS
A. Pursuant to Assembly Bill 178 (AB 178) Section 19.56(k)(10), the State of
California, Department of Finance awarded funding in the amount of $1,500,000 (Grant
Funds) to the City, which funds were earmarked for Grantee to purchase and renovate
their headquarters.
B. The City will serve as a pass-through agency for the Grant Funds and
disperse the funds directly to Grantee.
C. The City wishes to grant, and Grantee wishes to accept the Grant Funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City and Grantee agree as follows:
1. GRANT. City agrees to grant to Grantee, and Grantee agrees to receive
from the City the proceeds of the Grant Funds. Grantee covenants and agrees to use
Grant Funds in accordance with the following scope, as provided to the State
Department of Finance on behalf of Grantee by the Office of Assemblymember Joaquin
Arambula:
INTENDED USE OF FUNDS: To purchase and renovate their headquarters and
support their Pathways to Employment program.
2. DISBURSEMENTS. The City shall fully disburse the Grant Funds to
Grantee within 30 days after receipt of said funds from the State.
3. INDEMNIFICATION. To the furthest extent allowed by law, Grantee shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees,
agents and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs
and damages (whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not limited to
personal injury, death at any time and property damage) incurred by City, Grantee or
any other person, and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity
(including reasonable attorney's fees, litigation expenses and cost to enforce this
agreement), arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly out of performance of
this Agreement. Grantee's obligations under the preceding sentence shall apply
regardless of whether City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents or
volunteers are negligent, but shall not apply to any loss, liability, fines, penalties,
forfeitures, costs or damages caused solely by the gross negligence, or caused by the
willful misconduct, of City or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents or
volunteers.
If Grantee should subcontract all or any portion of the work to be performed
under this Agreement, Grantee shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and
volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.
This section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
4. GRANTEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW. Grantee covenants and
agrees to follow all state-imposed restrictions relating to the Grant Funds, including
those set forth in AB 178 and any associated guidance, law, and/or rule.
5. GRANTEE COOPERATION WITH CITY. Grantee covenants to
cooperate with City and respond promptly to all requests by City necessary to maintain
compliance with AB 178.
6. GOVERNING LAVA AND VENUE. This Agreement shall be interpreted
under and governed by the laws of the State of California. A party must bring any legal
action in the Superior Court of Fresno, in an appropriate municipal court in Fresno County,
or in the United States District Court serving Fresno County.
7. NO WAIVER. Any waiver by either the City or Grantee of any obligation in
this Agreement must be in writing. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of the City
or Grantee to take, or any delay or failure by City to take action on any default by Grantee
or to pursue any remedy allowed under this Agreement or applicable law. Any extension
of time granted to Grantee to perform any obligation under this Agreement shall not
operate as a waiver or release from any of its obligations under this Agreement. Consent
by City or Grantee to any act or omission by the other party shall not be construed to be
consent to any other act or omission or to waive the requirement for City or Grantee's
written consent to future waivers.
