2.5 Hourly Fees. Fees for work performed by Contractor on an hourly basis shall not exceed
the amounts shown in Exhibit A.
2.6 Payment of Taxes. Contractor is solely responsible for the payment of employment taxes
incurred under this Agreement and any similar federal or state taxes. Contractor represents
and warrants that Contractor is a resident of the State of California in accordance with
California Revenue & Taxation Code Section 18662, as may be amended, and is exempt

any subcontractors and withhold taxes from non-California subcontractors as required by
law.

Agreement pursuant to Section 8, the City shall compensate the Contractor for all

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.

prevailing wage rates is not 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
mechanics to be engaged in work on the project under this contract and all deductions, if

shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator (as defined in Section 10.9).
The insurer, if insurance is provided, or the Contractor, if a program of self-insurance is

the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall
be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Such coverage shall include but shall

4.3.3 Notice of Reduction in or Cancellation of Coverage. A certified endorsement
shall be attached to all insurance obtained pursuant to this Agreement stating that
coverage shall not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, or reduced in
coverage or in limits, except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified
mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City. In the event that any
coverage required by this section is reduced, limited, cancelled, or materially
affected in any other manner, Contractor shall provide written notice to City at

of the following: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of
Contractor, including the insured’s general supervision of Contractor; products and
completed operations of Contractor, as applicable; premises owned, occupied, or
used by Contractor; and automobiles owned, leased, or used by the Contractor in
the course of providing services pursuant to this Agreement. The coverage shall
contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City or its
officers, employees, agents, or volunteers.
A certified endorsement must be attached to all policies stating that coverage is
primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, officials, employees and
volunteers, and that no insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be
called upon to contribute to a loss under the coverage.
4.3.5 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Contractor shall disclose to and obtain
the approval of City for the self-insured retentions and deductibles before beginning
any of the services or work called for by any term of this Agreement. Further, if the
Contractor’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 so as to not apply to the
additional insured coverage required by this agreement so as to not prevent any of
the parties to 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.
During the period covered by this Agreement, only upon the prior express written
authorization of Contract Administrator, Contractor may increase such deductibles
or self-insured retentions with respect to City, its officers, employees, agents, and
volunteers. The Contract Administrator may condition approval of an increase in

them.

policies or shall furnish separate certificates and certified endorsements for each
subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the
requirements stated herein.
4.3.7 Wasting Policy. No insurance policy required by Section 4 shall include a “wasting”
policy limit.
4.3.8 Variation. The City may approve a variation in the foregoing insurance
requirements, upon a determination that the coverage, scope, limits, and forms of
such insurance are either not commercially available, or that the City’s interests are
otherwise fully protected.
4.4 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Contractor fails to provide or
maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time
herein required, City may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies, which
are alternatives to other remedies City may have and are not the exclusive remedy for
Contractor’s breach:
a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such
insurance from any sums due under the Agreement;
b. Order Contractor to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that
becomes due to Contractor hereunder, or both stop work and withhold any payment,
until Contractor demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof; and/or

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES. Contractor shall
indemnify, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers,
employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions,
damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to
property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole
or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees,
subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of
their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to
property, or violation of law arises wholly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its
officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor,
or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is
understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set
forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and
endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this

damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply.

indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions

City.

City, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary, Contractor
and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing services under this
Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any and all
claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but

charts, studies, surveys, photographs, memoranda, plans, studies, specifications, records,
files, or any other documents or materials, in electronic or any other form, that Contractor

hereunder shall be the property of the City. Contractor hereby agrees to deliver those
documents to the City upon termination of the Agreement. It is understood and agreed that
Shuttle Operations Services Agreement between Agreement Date
City of South San Francisco and
ACE Mobility Solutions
Page 11 of 14
the documents and other materials, including but not limited to those described above,
prepared pursuant to this Agreement are prepared specifically for the City and are not
necessarily suitable for any future or other use. City and Contractor agree that, until final
approval by City, all data, plans, specifications, reports and other documents are confidential
and will not be released to third parties without prior written consent of both parties unless
required by law.
9.2 Contractor’s Books and Records. Contractor shall maintain any and all ledgers, books of
account, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, and other records or documents evidencing
or relating to charges for services or expenditures and disbursements charged to the City
under this Agreement for a minimum of three (3) years, or for any longer period required by
law, from the date of final payment to the Contractor to this Agreement.
9.3 Inspection and Audit of Records. Any records or documents that Section 9.2 of this
Agreement requires Contractor to maintain shall be made available for inspection, audit,
and/or copying at any time during regular business hours, upon oral or written request of the
City. Under California Government Code Section 8546.7, if the amount of public funds
expended under this Agreement exceeds TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00), the
Agreement shall be subject to the examination and audit of the State Auditor, at the request
of City or as part of any audit of the City, for a period of three (3) years after final payment
under the Agreement.
9.4 Records Submitted in Response to an Invitation to Bid or Request for Proposals. All
responses to a Request for Proposals (RFP) or invitation to bid issued by the City become
the exclusive property of the City. At such time as the City selects a bid, all proposals
received become a matter of public record, and shall be regarded as public records, with the
exception of those elements in each proposal that are defined by Contractor and plainly
marked as “Confidential,” "Business Secret" or “Trade Secret."
The City shall not be liable or in any way responsible for the disclosure of any such proposal
or portions thereof, if Contractor has not plainly marked it as a "Trade Secret" or "Business
Secret," or if disclosure is required under the Public Records Act.
Although the California Public Records Act recognizes that certain confidential trade secret
information may be protected from disclosure, the City may not be in a position to establish
that the information that a prospective bidder submits is a trade secret. If a request is made
for information marked "Trade Secret" or "Business Secret," and the requester takes legal
action seeking release of the materials it believes does not constitute trade secret
information, by submitting a proposal, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the City, its agents and employees, from any judgment, fines, penalties, and award
of attorneys fees awarded against the City in favor of the party requesting the information,
and any and all costs connected with that defense. This obligation to indemnify survives the
City's award of the contract. Contractor agrees that this indemnification survives as long as
the trade secret information is in the City's possession, which includes a minimum retention
period for such documents.
