(b) Detailed statements shall be rendered monthly for services performed in the

The City shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense for which it has
not received a detailed invoice with applicable copies of representative and

made by written amendment to the Agreement signed by an authorized
representative for each party. The Consultant shall not be entitled to any
additional compensation if services are performed prior to a signed written
amendment.
4. Termination, Remedies, and Force Majeure.
(a) This Agreement shall terminate without any liability of the City to the
Consultant upon the earlier of: (i) the Consultant’s filing for protection under
the federal bankruptcy laws, or any bankruptcy petition or petition for
receiver commenced by a third party against the Consultant; (ii) seven
calendar days prior written notice with or without cause by the City to the
Consultant; (iii) the City’s non-appropriation of funds sufficient to meet its
obligations hereunder during any City fiscal year of this Agreement, or
insufficient funding for the Project; or (iv) expiration of this Agreement.
(b) Immediately upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the

cause any and all of its subcontractors to cease work; and (iii) return to the

terms of this Agreement, the Consultant shall be paid compensation for
services satisfactorily performed prior to the effective date of termination.
The Consultant shall not be paid for any work or services performed or costs
incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.
(c) In the event of termination due to failure of the Consultant 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 which may then exist on the part
of the Consultant, nor shall such payment impair or prejudice any remedy
available to the City with respect to the breach.
(d) Upon any breach of this Agreement by the Consultant, the City may
(i) exercise any right, remedy (in contract, law or equity), or privilege which
may be available to it under applicable laws of the State of California or any
other applicable law; (ii) proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the
terms of the Agreement; and/or (iii) recover all direct, indirect,

ALL-B Generic CSA Not to Exceed (12-2022)

consequential, economic and incidental damages for the breach of the
Agreement. If it is determined that the City improperly terminated this
Agreement for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for
convenience.
(e) The Consultant shall provide the City with adequate written assurances of
future performance, upon Administrator’s request, in the event the
Consultant fails to comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement.
(f) The Consultant shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused
by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Consultant and
without its 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 Consultant shall notify Administrator in writing as soon as it is
reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay,
setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy
such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give
written notice to Administrator of the cessation of such occurrence.
5. Confidential Information and Ownership of Documents.
(a) Any reports, information, or other data prepared or assembled by the
Consultant pursuant to this Agreement shall not be made available to any
individual or organization by the Consultant without the prior written
approval of the Administrator. During the term of this Agreement, and
thereafter, the Consultant shall not, without the prior written consent of the
City, disclose to anyone any Confidential Information. The term Confidential
Information for the purposes of this Agreement shall include all proprietary
and confidential information of the City, including but not limited to business
plans, marketing plans, financial information, materials, compilations,
documents, instruments, models, source or object codes and other
information disclosed or submitted, orally, in writing, or by any other medium
or media. All Confidential Information shall be and remain confidential and
proprietary in the City.
(b) Any and all writings and documents prepared or provided by the Consultant
pursuant to this Agreement are the property of the City at the time of
preparation and shall be turned over to the City upon expiration or
termination of the Agreement. The Consultant shall not permit the
reproduction or use thereof by any other person except as otherwise
expressly provided herein.
(c) If the Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, the Consultant shall cause each
subcontractor to also comply with the requirements of this Section 5.
(d) This Section 5 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
6. Professional Skill. It is further mutually understood and agreed by and between the
parties hereto that inasmuch as the Consultant represents to the City that the Consultant
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
DocuSign Envelope ID: 26E5F143-6AC6-4E4B-B9EF-AA7FD98192E9
ALL-B Generic CSA Not to Exceed (12-2022)
-4-
it under this Agreement, the City relies upon the skill of the Consultant and any
subcontractors to do and perform such services in a skillful manner and the Consultant
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 Consultant
or any subcontractors from said professional standards.
7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, the Consultant 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 litigation expenses) that
arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the
Consultant, its principals, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of
this Agreement. If the Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, the Consultant 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. This
section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
8. Insurance.
(a) Throughout the life of this Agreement, the Consultant 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 the
City’s Risk Manager or designee at any time and in his/her 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 the City, its officers, officials, employees,
agents, and volunteers as additional insureds, shall be the greater of 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, the
Consultant or any of its subcontractors/sub-consultants 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 the Consultant shall be withheld until notice is received by
the City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect
DocuSign Envelope ID: 26E5F143-6AC6-4E4B-B9EF-AA7FD98192E9
ALL-B Generic CSA Not to Exceed (12-2022)
-5-
and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to
the City. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient
cause for the City to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by the City
pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve the Consultant of its
responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain any
required insurance” shall include, without limitation, notification received by
the 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 the Consultant shall not be deemed
to release or diminish the liability of the Consultant, including, without
limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The
duty to indemnify the 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 the
Consultant. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies
shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of the Consultant,
its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of
the Consultant, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants,
subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
(d) If the Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, the Consultant shall require each
subcontractor/sub-consultant to provide insurance protection, as an
additional insured, to the City and each of its officers, officials, employees,
agents, and volunteers in accordance with the terms of this section, except
that any required certificates and applicable endorsements shall be on file
with the Consultant and the City prior to the commencement of any services
by the subcontractor. The Consultant and any subcontractor/sub-
consultant shall establish additional insured status for the City, its officers,
officials, employees, agents, and volunteers by using Insurance Service
Office (ISO) form CG 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10 10 01 and CG 20 37
10 01 or by an executed manuscript company endorsement providing
additional insured status as broad as that contained in ISO Form CG 20
10 11 85.
9. Conflict of Interest and Non-Solicitation.
(a) Prior to the City’s execution of this Agreement, the Consultant shall
complete a City of Fresno conflict of interest disclosure statement in the
form as set forth in Exhibit C. During the term of this Agreement, the
Consultant shall have the obligation and duty to immediately notify the City
in writing of any change to the information provided by the Consultant in
such statement.
(b) The Consultant shall comply, and require its subcontractors to comply, with
all applicable (i) professional canons and requirements governing
avoidance of impermissible client conflicts; and (ii) federal, state, and local
conflict of interest laws and regulations including, without limitation,

California Government Code Section 1090 et. seq., the California Political
Reform Act (California Government Code Section 87100 et. seq.) and the
regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission concerning disclosure
and disqualification (2 California Code of Regulations Section 18700 et.
seq.). At any time, upon written request of the City, the Consultant shall
provide a written opinion of its legal counsel and that of any subcontractor
that, after a due diligent inquiry, the Consultant and the respective
subcontractor(s) are in full compliance with all laws and regulations. The
Consultant 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
Consultant shall immediately notify the City of these facts in writing.
(c) In performing the work or services to be provided hereunder, the Consultant
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 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.
(d) The Consultant represents and warrants that it has not paid or agreed to
pay any compensation, contingent or otherwise, direct or indirect, to solicit,
or procure this Agreement or any rights/benefits hereunder.
(e) Neither the Consultant, nor any of the Consultant’s subcontractors
performing any services on this Project, shall bid for, assist anyone in the
preparation of a bid for, or perform any services pursuant to, any other
contract in connection with this Project unless fully disclosed to and
approved by the City Manager, in advance and in writing. The Consultant
and any of its subcontractors shall have no interest, direct or indirect, in any
other contract with a third party in connection with this Project unless such
interest is in accordance with all applicable law and fully disclosed to and
approved by the City Manager, in advance and in writing. Notwithstanding
any approval given by the City Manager under this provision, the Consultant
shall remain responsible for complying with Section 9(b), above.
(f) If the Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the work to be
performed or services to be provided under this Agreement, the Consultant
shall include the provisions of this Section 9 in each subcontract and require
its subcontractors to comply therewith.
(g) This Section 9 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

a facility(ies), or is required herein to maintain or operate same, within the incorporated limits
of the City of Fresno, the Consultant at its sole cost and expense shall:

(a) In the furnishing of the services provided for herein, the Consultant is acting

the Consultant and the City. The Consultant shall have no authority to bind
the City absent the City’s express written consent. Except to the extent
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Consultant shall bear its own

as they may be enacted, issued, or amended during the term of this Agreement.

breach of either the same or a different provision of this Agreement. No provisions of this
Agreement may be waived unless in writing and signed by all parties to this Agreement.
Waiver of any one provision herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision

construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding,
however, any conflict of laws rule which would apply the law of another jurisdiction. Venue for

requirement for the Limits of Liability of these polices will be twice the above stated limits.
The fact that insurance is obtained by the Consultant shall not be deemed to release or
diminish the liability of the Consultant, including, without limitation, liability under the
indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon
the amount of indemnification to be provided by the Consultant. Approval or purchase of
any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability
of the Consultant, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the
supervision of the Consultant, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants,
subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
SUBCONTRACTORS - If the Consultant subcontracts any or all of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, the Consultant shall require, at the discretion of the City
Risk Manager or designee, subcontractor(s) to enter into a separate Side Agreement with
the City to provide required indemnification and insurance protection. Any required Side
Agreement(s) and associated insurance documents for the subcontractor must be
reviewed and preapproved by the City Risk Manager or designee. If no Side Agreement
is required, the Consultant will be solely responsible for ensuring that its subcontractors
maintain insurance coverage at levels no less than those required by applicable law and
is customary in the relevant industry.
VERIFICATION OF COVERAGE
The Consultant shall furnish the City with all certificate(s) and applicable endorsements
effecting coverage required hereunder. All certificates and applicable endorsements
are to be received and approved by the City’s Risk Manager or designee prior to the City’s
execution of the Agreement and before work commences. All non-ISO endorsements
amending policy coverage shall be executed by a licensed and authorized agent or
broker. Upon request of the City, the Consultant shall immediately furnish City with a
complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement, including all
endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of
the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

BROCK D. BUCHE, PE, PLS, Director ,31:)3

Department of Public Utilities -Solid Waste Management Division
SUBJECT: UNIQUELY QUALIFIED AFFIRMATION FOR HEALTHWISE SERVICES
TO COLLECT SHARPS AND UNUSED PHARMACEUTICALS IN
VARIOUS KIOSKS IN THE CITY OF FRESNO
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Manager affirm Healthwise
Services as a uniquely qualified service provider for safely performing the collection of
sharps (needles) and unused pharmaceuticals in the various kiosks that are located within
the City of Fresno.
Executive Summary
The agreement is necessary pursuant to Administrative Order 06-19 which would thereby
allow the Department of Public Utilities to dispense with the City's standard Request for
Qualifications Process and enter into an agreement with the service provider for safe
collection of sharps and unused pharmaceuticals.
Background of Healthwise Services
The Pharmaceutical and Sharps Waste Stewardship law (Senate Bill 212) requires the
establishment and implementation of programs for the proper collection, management,
and disposal of covered pharmaceutical and home generated sharps waste products. It
is illegal for any person in California to dispose of home-generated sharps waste in the
trash or recycling containers. The Solid Waste Management Division (SWMD) currently
has oversight and control of the Municipal Solid Waste stream which precludes items
such as sharps and unused medication from being disposed of in an unsafe manner. The
SWMD services over 119,000 Residential Solid Waste customers weekly. There are
seven locations throughout the City of Fresno which currently host unused medication
kiosks. These kiosks enhance services to our customers and remove these items from
our waste stream.

Healthwise Services is a uniquely qualified service provider for safely performing the
collection of sharps and unused pharmaceuticals and is the only service provider in the
City. This company is engaged in the business of furnishing services as a medical waste
collector, processor and disposal provider and serving the citizens of the City of Fresno
since 2014. The previous agreement with Healthwise Services expired on June 30, 2023.
Recommendation
SWMD is requesting the City Manager's concurrence in finding that Healthwise Services
is uniquely qualified and uniquely capable of providing safe collections of sharps
(needles) and unused pharmaceuticals in the various kiosks that are located within the
City of Fresno.

restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common

Consultant 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 Consultant and any subcontractors to do and perform such services in
a skillful manner and the Consultant 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 Consultant or any
subcontractors from said professional standards.
7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, the Consultant 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 litigation expenses) that arise out of, pertain to, or
relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Consultant, its
principals, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of this
Agreement.
If the Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, the Consultant 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.
This section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
8 . Insurance.
(a) Throughout the life of this Agreement, the Consultant 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 the

limits of liability of not less than those amounts stated therein. However,
the insurance limits available to the City, its officers, officials, employees,

minimum limits specified therein or the full limit of any insurance proceeds

-4-
DocuSign Envelope ID: 26E5F143-6AC6-4E4B-B9EF-AA7FD98192E9
and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to
the City. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient
cause for the City to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by the City
pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve the Consultant of its
responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase "fail to maintain any
required insurance" shall include, without limitation, notification received by
the 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 the Consultant shall not be deemed
to release or diminish the liability of the Consultant, including, without
limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The
duty to indemnify the 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 the
Consultant. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies
shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of the Consultant,
its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of
the Consultant, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants,
subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
(d) If the Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, the Consultant shall require each
subcontractor/sub-consultant to provide insurance protection, as an
additional insured, to the City and each of its officers, officials, employees,
agents, and volunteers in accordance with the terms of this section, except
that any required certificates and applicable endorsements shall be on file
with the Consultant and the City prior to the commencement of any services
by the subcontractor. The Consultant and any subcontractor/sub-
consultant shall establish additional insured status for the City, its officers,
officials, employees, agents, and volunteers by using Insurance Service
Office (ISO) form CG 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10 10 01 and CG

in writing of any change to the information provided by the Consultant in
such statement.

all applicable (i) professional canons and requirements governing
avoidance of impermissible client conflicts; and (ii) federal, state, and local
