arising out of or in connection with the delivery and installation of the Products and/or Services described on this
Purchase Agreement or Vendor's failure to comply with this Purchase Agreement, to the extent such liability is

8. Insurance. Before beginning any installation work and continuing throughout the term of this Purchase Agreement,
Vendor, at its sole cost and expense, furnish the City with certificates of insurance evidencing that Contractor has
obtained and maintains insurance in the following amounts:
A. Workers' Compensation that satisfies the minimum statutory limits.
B. Commercial General Liability and Property Damage Insurance in an amount not less than ONE MILLION
DOLLARS ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence, TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) annual
aggregate, for bodily injury, property damage, products, completed operations and contractual liability coverage. The

insureds with any City insurance shall be secondary and in excess to Vendor's insurance. If the Vendor's insurance
policy includes a self - insured retention that must be paid by a named insured as a precondition of the insurer's liability,
or which has the effect of providing that payments of the self - insured retention by others, including additional insureds
or insurers do not serve to satisfy the self - insured retention, such provisions must be modified by special endorsement

this agreement from satisfying or paying the self - insured retention required to be paid as a precondition to the insurer's
liability. Additionally, the certificates of insurance must note whether the policy does or does not include any self -
insured retention and also must disclose the deductible.
The City Risk Manager, in writing, may approve a variation in the foregoing insurance requirements. A valid and
executed approval by Risk Manager must accompany this Purchase Agreement for a variation to be binding.

damages of any kind. The total liability of the Vendor to the Buyer under this order shall not exceed two (2) times the

10. Prevailing Wage. Where applicable, the wages to be paid for a day's work to all classes of laborers, workmen, or
mechanics on the work contemplated by this Purchase Agreement, shall be not less than the prevailing rate for a day's
work in the same trade or occupation in the locality within the state where the work hereby contemplates to be
performed as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Director's authority under Labor Code
Section 1770, et seq. Each laborer, worker or mechanic employed by Contractor or by any subcontractor shall receive
the wages herein provided for. The Contractor shall pay two hundred dollars ($200), or whatever amount may be set by
Labor Code Section 1775, as may be amended, per day penalty for each worker paid less than prevailing rate of per
diem wages. The difference between the prevailing rate of per diem wages and the wage paid to each worker shall be
paid by the Contractor to each worker.
An error on the part of an awarding body does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for payment of the
prevailing rate of per diem wages and penalties pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770 -1775. The City will not
recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor for any wage rate in excess
of prevailing wage rate set forth. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the
Contractor.

attached hereto pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, the Contractor shall post at appropriate conspicuous points at
the site of the project a schedule showing all determined prevailing wage rates for the various classes of laborers and

address, social security number, work week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice,
worker, or other employee employed by the Contractor in connection with the public work. Such records shall be
certified and submitted weekly as required by Labor Code Section 1776.

accordance with California Revenue & Taxation Code Section 18662, as may be amended, and is exempt from
withholding. Contractor accepts sole responsible for verifying the residency status of any subcontractors and withhold
taxes from non - California subcontractors as required by law.
12. Termination. In addition to all other legal and equitable rights of the City, the City may terminate this Purchase
Agreement upon notice to the Vendor. If the City terminates this Purchase Agreement, the City will pay the Vendor for
Products and/or Services accepted in accordance with this Purchase Agreement prior to the date of termination.
13. Prevailing Party. In the event that either party to this Purchase Agreement commences any legal action or proceeding
(including but not limited to arbitration) to interpret the terms of this Purchase Agreement, the prevailing party in such a
proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees associated with that legal action or proceeding.

without the City's prior written approval. This Purchase Agreement is governed by California law. The jurisdiction for
any litigation arising from this Purchase Agreement shall be in the state of California, and shall be venued in the County
