so as not to cause delays in Consultant's Work schedule.
8. STANDARD OF CARE
8.1 All of the Services shall be performed by Consultant or under Consultant's
supervision. Consultant represents that it possesses the professional and technical
personnel required to perform the Services required by this Agreement, and that it will
perform all Services in a manner commensurate with community professional standards
and with the ordinary degree of skill and care that would be used by other reasonably
competent practitioners of the same discipline under similar circumstances. All Services
shall be performed by qualified and experienced personnel who are not employed by City.
By delivery of completed Work, Consultant certifies that the Work conforms to the
requirements of this Agreement, all applicable federal, state and local laws, and legally
recognized professional standards.
8.2 Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has, shall obtain, and shall
keep in full force and effect during the term hereof, at its sole cost and expense, all
licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature that is
legally required of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City
of Newport Beach business license during the term of this Agreement.
8.3 Consultant shall not be responsible for delay, nor shall Consultant be
responsible for damages or be in default or deemed to be in default by reason of strikes,
lockouts, accidents, acts of God, or the failure of City to furnish timely information or to
approve or disapprove Consultant's Work promptly, or delay or faulty performance by
City, contractors, or governmental agencies.
9. HOLD HARMLESS
9.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents,
volunteers and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any
and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or damage to
property), demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever
(individually, a Claim; collectively, "Claims"), which may arise from or in any manner relate
(directly or indirectly) to any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any
Work performed or Services provided under this Agreement including, without limitation,
defects in workmanship or materials or Consultant's presence or activities conducted on
San Diego Centre for Organization Effectiveness Page 4
the Project (including the negligent, reckless, and/or willful acts, errors and/or omissions
of Consultant, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers, consultants,
subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts
they may be liable, or any or all of them).
9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
Consultant to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this indemnity shall
be construed as authorizing any award of attorneys' fees in any action on or to enforce
the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity 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 Consultant.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Consultant on an independent contractor basis
and Consultant is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of
conducting the Work are under the control of Consultant, except to the extent they are
limited by statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No civil
service status or other right of employment shall accrue to Consultant or its employees.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Consultant or any
of Consultant's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Consultant
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Consultant is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Consultant as to the details
of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of control over Consultant shall
mean only that Consultant shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.
11. COOPERATION
Consultant agrees to work closely and cooperate fully with City's designated
Project Administrator and any other agencies that may have jurisdiction or interest in the
Work to be performed. City agrees to cooperate with the Consultant on the Project.

of this Agreement or for other periods as specified in this Agreement, policies of insurance
of the type, amounts, terms and conditions described in the Insurance Requirements
attached hereto as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by reference.
15. PROHIBITION AGAINST ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Except as specifically authorized under this Agreement, the Services to be
provided under this Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred contracted or
subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City. Any of the following shall be
construed as an assignment: The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Consultant, or of the interest of any general
partner or joint venturer or syndicate member or cotenant if Consultant is a partnership or
joint -venture or syndicate or co -tenancy, which shall result in changing the control of
Consultant. Control means fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power or twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -venture.
16. SUBCONTRACTING
The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal. Consultant shall be fully responsible to
City for all acts and omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall
create any contractual relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create
any obligation on the part of City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to
any such subcontractor other than as otherwise required by law. City is an intended
beneficiary of any Work performed by the subcontractor for purposes of establishing a
duty of care between the subcontractor and City. Except as specifically authorized herein,
the Services to be provided under this Agreement shall not be otherwise assigned,
transferred, contracted or subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City.

applications (hereinafter "Documents"), prepared or caused to be prepared by Consultant,
its officers, employees, agents and subcontractors, in the course of implementing this

to use such materials in its discretion without further compensation to Consultant or any
other party. Additionally, all material posted in cyberspace by Consultant, its officers,

pursuant to this Agreement are not intended or represented to be suitable for reuse by

and any use of incomplete Documents without specific written authorization from
Consultant will be at City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant. Further, any and
all liability arising out of changes made to Consultant's deliverables under this Agreement
by City or persons other than Consultant is waived against Consultant, and City assumes
full responsibility for such changes unless City has given Consultant prior notice and has
received from Consultant written consent for such changes.
17.3 Notwithstanding 17.1 and 17.2 above, Consultant has developed prior to
this Agreement, and may modify for the purposes of this Agreement, various proprietary
instructional materials and activities, including but not limited to PowerPoint presentations
and handouts. Such materials and activities shall remain Consultant's property, and City
may not duplicate, modify, distribute, or otherwise use such materials without
Consultant's prior written permission. Additionally, Consultant may use various
assessments as part of the delivery of services under this Agreement. Some of these
assessments are copyrighted by third parties; some are proprietary tools developed by
Consultant. To ensure the validity of the data collected from self -assessments completed
by individuals, Consultant will only share those data with each individual respondent. In
the case of assessments where the focus is a department or the entire organization,
Consultant and City will agree prior to the administration of the assessment which data
will be shared with City. To ensure data validity and for other reasons, once assessment
administration has begun, City may not alter the Agreement about what data will be
shared. Consultant will retain ownership of assessment data to inform ongoing and future
services to City. Consultant will not share or otherwise distribute these data to any third
party.

Microsoft Office and/or viewable with Adobe Acrobat.

copies of such records and invoices during regular business hours. Consultant shall allow
inspection of all Work, data, Documents, proceedings and activities related to the
Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Consultant
under this Agreement.
21. WITHHOLDINGS
City may withhold payment to Consultant of any disputed sums until satisfaction of
the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
constitute a failure to pay according to the terms of this Agreement. Consultant shall not
discontinue Work as a result of such withholding. Consultant shall have an immediate
right to appeal to the City Manager or designee with respect to such disputed sums.
Consultant shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of return
that City earned on its investments during the time period, from the date of withholding of
any amounts found to have been improperly withheld.
22. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
In the event of errors or omissions that are due to the negligence or professional
inexperience of Consultant which result in expense to City greater than what would have
resulted if there were not errors or omissions in the Work accomplished by Consultant,
the additional design, construction and/or restoration expense shall be borne by
Consultant. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit City's rights under the law or any
other sections of this Agreement.

right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance
policies, at any time.

C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Consultant agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Consultant enters
into contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review.

agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no
additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
E. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features
or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on
coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage
normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given

given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all
inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.
If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown
above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for higher
limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds
