Therefore, any acceptance of such services by the CITY shall not operate as a release of the GRANTEE or any subcontractors from said industry and professional standards. Should the GRANTEE perform the services, then the GRANTEE agrees to thus perform the services in a skillful manner. 10. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, the GRANTEE shall 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, 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), and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including reasonable attorney's fees, and costs to enforce this AGREEMENT.) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the GRANTEE, its principals, officers, employees, agents, subcontractors or volunteers in the performance of this AGREEMENT. If the GRANTEE should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this AGREEMENT, the GRANTEE 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. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the GRANTEE recognizes that the source of funds for the grant to be provided hereunder is the allocation from the CITY's General funds. To this end the GRANTEE shall, without limitation, indemnify the CITY, and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs, and damages incurred by the CITY from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including attorneys fees and litigation expenses), arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly from the negligent or intentional acts or omissions, or willful misconduct of the GRANTEE or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of this AGREEMENT and compliance with the requirements of the Fresno Municipal Code. This section shall survive termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT. 11. Insurance. (a) Throughout the life of this Agreement, Grantee shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect all insurance as required in Exhibit B, which is incorporated into and part of this Agreement, with an insurance company(ies) either(i) admitted by the California Insurance Commissioner to do business in the State of California and rated no less than "A-VII" in the Best's insurance Rating Guide, or (ii) as may be authorized in writing by City's Risk Manager or designee at any time and in its sole discretion. The required policies of insurance as stated in Exhibit B shall maintain limits of liability of not less than those amounts stated therein. However, the insurance limits available to City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers as additional insureds, shall be the greater of -5- ALL-B Grant Agt.(01-2023) the minimum limits specified therein or the full limit of any insurance proceeds to the named insured. (b) If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, Grantee or any of its subcontractors 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 to Grantee shall be withheld until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by City pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve Grantee of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase "fail to maintain any required insurance" shall include, without limitation, notification received by City that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent. (c) The fact that insurance is obtained by Grantee shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Grantee, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify City 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 Grantee. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Grantee, its principals, officers, agents, employees, or persons under the supervision of Grantee, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them. 12.

The GRANTEE shall take, and require its subcontractors to take, reasonable steps to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Upon discovery of any facts giving rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest, the GRANTEE shall immediately notify the CITY of these facts in writing. -6- ALL-B Grant Agt.(01-2023) (c) In performing the work or services to be provided hereunder, the GRANTEE shall not employ or retain the services of any person while such person either is employed by the CITY or is a member of any the CITY council, commission, board, committee, or similar CITY body. This requirement may be waived in writing by the City Manager, if no actual or potential conflict is involved.
