(c) The parties may modify this Agreement to increase or decrease the scope
of services or provide for the rendition of services not required by this
Agreement, which modification shall include an adjustment to Service
Provider’s compensation. Any change in the scope of services must be
made by written amendment to the Agreement signed by an authorized
representative for each party. Service Provider 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 City to Service
Provider upon the earlier of : (i) Service Provider’s filing for protection under
the federal bankruptcy laws, or any bankruptcy petition or petition for
receiver commenced by a third party against Service Provider; (ii) seven
calendar days’ prior written notice with or without cause by City to Service
Provider; (iii) 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, Service
Provider shall (i) immediately stop all work hereunder; (ii) immediately
cause any and all of its subcontractors to cease work; and (iii) return to City

of this Agreement, Service Provider shall be paid compensation for services
satisfactorily performed prior to the effective date of termination. Service

incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.
(c) In the event of termination due to failure of Service Provider to satisfactorily
perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, City may withhold
an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to, but not in excess
of, City’s damages caused by such failure. In no event shall any payment
by City pursuant to this Agreement constitute a waiver by City of any breach
of this Agreement which may then exist on the part of Service Provider, nor
shall such payment impair or prejudice any remedy available to City with
respect to the breach.
(d) Upon any breach of this Agreement by Service Provider, 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,
consequential, economic and incidental damages for the breach of the
Agreement. If it is determined that City improperly terminated this
Agreement for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for
convenience.

(e) Service Provider shall provide City with adequate written assurances of
future performance, upon Administrator’s request, in the event Service
Provider fails to comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement.
(f) Service Provider shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused
by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Service Provider and
without its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts
of City in its contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common
carriers. Service Provider 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 Service
Provider pursuant to this Agreement shall not be made available to any
individual or organization by Service Provider without the prior written
approval of the Administrator. During the term of this Agreement, and
thereafter, Service Provider shall not, without the prior written consent of
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 City, including but not limited to business
plans, marketing plans, financial information, materials, compilations,

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 City.

(c) If Service Provider should subcontract all or any portion of the services to
be performed under this Agreement, Service Provider 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. Level of Skill. It is further mutually understood and agreed by and between the
parties hereto that inasmuch as Service Provider represents to City that Service
Provider and its subcontractors, if any, are skilled in the profession and shall
perform in accordance with the standards of said industry necessary to perform
the services agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, City relies upon the
skill of Service Provider and its subcontractors, if any, to do and perform such
services in a skillful manner and Service Provider agrees to thus perform the
services and require the same of any subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance
DocuSign Envelope ID: A2F14DD9-5DBC-497A-81B7-CDBE6CB3D029
ALL-B GSP Agt Not to Exceed (01-2024)
-4-
of such services by City shall not operate as a release of Service Provider or any
subcontractors from said industry and professional standards.
7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, including California Civil
Code section 2782, Service Provider 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), 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) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence,
recklessness or willful misconduct of Service Provider, its principals, officers,
employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement.
If Service Provider should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be
performed under this Agreement, Service Provider 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.
8. Insurance.
(a) Throughout the life of this Agreement, the Service Provider 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 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 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 Service
Provider or any of its subcontractors/sub-Service Providers fail to maintain
any required insurance, all services and work under this Agreement shall
be discontinued immediately, and all payments due, or that become due, to
the Service Provider shall be withheld until insurance is in compliance with
the requirements. 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 Service Provider
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 Service Provider shall not be
deemed to release or diminish the liability of the Service Provider, 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 Service Provider. Approval or purchase of any insurance
contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability
of the Service Provider, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons
under the supervision of the Service Provider, vendors, suppliers, invitees,
Service Providers, sub-Service Providers, subcontractors, or anyone
employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
9. Conflict of Interest and Non-Solicitation.
(a) Prior to City’s execution of this Agreement, Service Provider 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, Service Provider shall
have the obligation and duty to immediately notify City in writing of any
change to the information provided by Service Provider in such statement.
(b) Service Provider 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 City, Service Provider shall
provide a written opinion of its legal counsel and that of any subcontractor
that, after a due diligent inquiry, Service Provider and the respective
subcontractor(s) are in full compliance with all laws and regulations. Service
Provider 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, Service Provider shall
immediately notify City of these facts in writing.
(c) Consultant’s duties and services under this Agreement shall not include
preparing or assisting the City with any portion of the City’s preparation of
a request for proposals, request for qualifications, or any other solicitation
regarding a subsequent or additional contract with the City. The City
entering this Agreement shall at all times retain responsibility for public
contracting, including with respect to any subsequent phase of this Project.
Consultant’s participation in the planning, discussions, or drawing of project
plans or specifications shall be limited to conceptual, preliminary, or initial
plans or specifications. Consultant shall cooperate with the City to ensure
that all bidders for a subsequent contract on any subsequent phase of this
Project have access to the same information, including all conceptual,

Provider shall not employ or retain the services of any person while such

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.

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, Service Provider shall remain responsible for complying with
Section 9(a), above.

employment practices including, but not be limited to, the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment

Service Provider and City. Service Provider shall have no authority to bind
