A. For City’s Convenience: This Contract is for the convenience of the City and may be immediately terminated without cause after receipt by the Contractor of written notice by the City. Upon termination for convenience, Contractor will be paid for all undisputed services performed up to the termination date.

B. Conflict of Interest: This Contract is subject to the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511. The City may cancel this Contract without penalty or further obligations by the City or any of its departments or agencies if any person significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting, or creating this Contract on behalf of the City or any of its departments or agencies is at any time while the Contract or any extension of the Contract is in effect, an employee or agent of any other party to the Contract in any capacity or a consultant to any other party of the Contract with respect to the Contract subject.

C. Fund Appropriation Contingency: Contractor understands that the continuation of this Contract is subject to the budget of the City providing for the contract item as an expenditure.

The City may, by written notice to the Contractor, cancel this Contract if it is found by the City that gratuities, in the form of entertainment, gifts or otherwise, were offered or given by the Contractor or any agent or representative of the Contractor, to any officer or employee of the City with a view toward securing an order, securing favorable treatment with respect to the awarding, amending, or the making of any determinations with respect to the performing of such order.

All claims and controversies shall be subject to resolution according to the terms of the City of Surprise Procurement Code.

Each and every provision of law and any clause required by law to be in the Contract will be read and enforced as though it were included and, if through mistake or otherwise, any such provision is not inserted, or is not correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, the Contract will promptly be physically amended to make such insertion or correction.

The provisions of this Contract are severable. To the extent that any provision is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect any other provision of the Contract which may remain in effect without the invalid provision.

Each party will act in its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the other. An employee or agent of one party may not be deemed or construed to be the employee or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. Contractor is advised that taxes or Social Security payments will not be withheld from any City payments issued hereunder and the Contractor agrees to be fully and solely responsible for the payment of such taxes or any other tax applicable to this Contract. Contractor, its employees, and subcontractors are not entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the City. The City does not have the authority to supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees, or subcontractors. Contractor, and not the City, will determine the time of its performance of the Services so long as Contractor meets the requirements of this Contract. Contractor is neither prohibited from entering into other contracts nor prohibited from practicing its profession elsewhere.

This Contract represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter. All previous agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Contract are hereby revoked and superseded by this Contract. No representations, warranties, inducements, or oral agreements have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth in this Contract. This Contract will be construed and interpreted according to its plain meaning, and no presumption will be deemed to apply in favor of or against the party drafting the Contract. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek and utilize legal counsel in drafting, reviewing, and entering into this Contract.

No right or interest in this Contract may be assigned by Contractor without prior written permission of the City, signed by the City Manager or their designee. No delegation of any duty of the Contractor may be made without prior written permission of the City, signed by the City Manager or their designee. Any attempted assignment or delegation by the Contractor in violation of this provision is a breach of this Contract by the Contractor.

No subcontract may be entered into by Contractor with any other party to furnish any of the Goods and/or Services specified herein without the prior written approval of the City. Contractor is responsible for performance under this Contract whether or not subcontractors are used.

No provision in this Contract may be construed, expressly or by implication, as waiver by the City of any existing or future right or remedy available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Contract. The failure of the City to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Contract or to exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Contract, or by law, or the City’s acceptance of and payment for services, will not release Contractor from any responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Contract or by law, and will not be deemed a waiver of any right of the City to insist upon the strict performance of this Contract.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City and its council members, managers, officers, boards, commissions, officials, employees, or agents (collectively “Indemnified Party”), for, from, and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, claims processing, investigation, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever (“Claims”), including negligence, insofar as such Claims (or actions with respect thereof) relate to, arise out of, or are caused by, or in connection with the City entering into this Contract, or the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Party acting pursuant to or in furtherance of this Contract. Contractor shall further indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Indemnified Party for, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, claims processing, investigation, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever (“Claims”), insofar as such Claims (or actions with respect thereof) relate to, arise out of, or are caused by, or in connection with the negligent or willful acts or omissions of work or professional services of Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, or any tier of subcontractor in the performance of this Contract. In consideration of the award of this Contract, Contractor agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, its officers, officials, agents, and employees for losses arising from the work performed by Contractor for the City. The amount and type of insurance coverage required by this Contract will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this section.

The City maintains that, in practice, overcharges resulting from antitrust violations are borne by the purchaser. Therefore, to the extent permitted by law, the Contractor hereby assigns to the City any and all claims for such overcharges as to the Goods and/or Services used to fulfill the Contract.

Except for payment for sums due, neither party will be liable to the other nor deemed in default under this Contract if and to the extent that such party’s performance of this Contract is prevented by reason of force majeure. The term “force majeure” means an occurrence that is beyond the control of the party affected and occurs without its fault or negligence. Without limiting the foregoing, force majeure includes acts of God: acts of the public enemy; war; acts of terror, hate crimes affecting public order; riots; strikes; mobilization; labor disputes; civil disorders; plague; pandemics (including without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic); epidemics; quarantine orders or directives by a governmental entity; outbreaks of infectious disease or any other public health crisis, including without limitation, quarantine or other employee restrictions; fire; floods; lockouts, injunctions-interventions-acts, or failures or refusals to act by government authority; events or obstacles resulting from a governmental authority’s response to the foregoing; and other similar occurrences beyond the control of the party declaring force majeure which such party is unable to prevent by exercising reasonable diligence. The force majeure notifies the other party of the existence of the force majeure and will be deemed to continue as long as the results or effects of the force majeure prevent the party from resuming performance in accordance with this Contract. Force majeure will not include the following occurrences:

A. Failure or delay resulting from general economic conditions or other market effects, foreseen or unforeseen, including any increase in the cost of materials, supplies, or services, or any decrease in profit or profit margins resulting therefrom;

B. Late delivery of equipment, materials, or other Goods or Services caused by congestion at a manufacturer’s plant or elsewhere, an oversold condition of the market, inefficiencies, or similar occurrences; and/or

C. Late performance by a subcontractor unless the delay arises out of a force majeure occurrence in accordance with this section.

Whenever one party to this Contract in good faith has reason to question the other party's intent to perform, they may demand that the other party give a written assurance of this intent to perform. In the event that a demand is made and no written assurance is given within five (5) days, the demanding party may treat this failure as an anticipatory repudiation of the Contract.

The City may, at reasonable times and places, audit the books and records of any Contractor as related to any contract held with the City.

The City may, at reasonable times, inspect the part of the plant or place of business of a Contractor or Subcontractor which is related to the performance of any contract as awarded or to be awarded.

Contractor warrants that all Goods and/or Services delivered under this Contract shall conform to the specifications of this Contract. Unless otherwise stated in Contractor's response, the City is responsible for selecting items, their use, and the results obtained from any other items used with the items furnished under this Contract. Mere receipt of shipment of the Goods and/or Services specified and any inspection incidental thereto by the City shall not alter or affect the obligations of the Contractor or the rights of the City under the foregoing warranties. Additional warranty requirements may be set forth in the Solicitation. Contractor warrants that the Services rendered will conform to the requirements of this Contract and to the highest professional standards in the field.

All work and other Services will be subject to inspection and acceptance by the City at reasonable times during Contractor’s performance. All Goods and/or Services are subject to final inspection and acceptance by the City. Materials and/or services failing to conform to the specifications of this Contract will be held at Contractor's risk and may be returned to the Contractor. If so returned, all costs are the responsibility of the Contractor. The City may elect by a written determination to do any or all of the following:

A. Waive the non-conformance;

B. Stop the work immediately; and/or

C. Bring the Goods and/or Services into compliance.

The title and risk of loss of Goods and/or Services shall not pass to the City until the City actually receives the Goods and/or Services at the point of delivery, unless otherwise provided within this Contract.

Every tender of Goods shall fully comply with all provisions of the Contract. If a tender is made which does not fully conform, this shall constitute a breach of the Contract as a whole.

Contractor is not authorized to ship Goods under reservation and no tender of a bill of lading will operate as a tender of the Goods.

All Goods and/or Services must be free of all liens and, if the City requests, a formal release of all liens must be delivered to the City.

The amount and type of insurance coverage required by this Contract will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this section.
3. Contractor shall provide to the City a full and complete manual for any works of art that it creates or proposes to create, including, but not limited to, specifications on the material and equipment and a full maintenance and preservation plan. All such manual(s) and other documentation related to the works of art under this Contract shall be fully available for the City's use, including, without limitation, using such manual(s) to make repairs or provide maintenance to the artwork, relocate the artwork as needed, or for use as part of a solicitation and/or a contractor’s work to make such repairs, maintenance, relocations, or other uses required by City.

The City shall have the right to make, and to authorize the making of, photographs, videos, and other two-dimensional reproductions of the artwork for all commercial and noncommercial purposes in its absolute discretion.

However, this exclusivity does not apply to Contractor's ability to continue building upon and implementing the artistic techniques, themes, materials, design experience and all other creative and technical skills required to produce future site-specific work for other locations.

All specifications shall seek to promote overall economy for the purposes intended and encourage competition and not be unduly restrictive in satisfying the City's needs.

The City shall not reimburse the cost of developing presenting or providing any response to this Solicitation. Offers submitted for consideration should be prepared simply and economically, providing adequate information in a straightforward and concise manner.

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Contract regarding confidentiality, secrets, or protected rights, Contractor acknowledges that all documents provided to the City may be subject to disclosure by laws related to open public records. Consequently, Contractor understands that disclosure of some or all of the items subject to this Contract may be required by law.

Within ten (10) days of such notice, Contractor must inform the City in writing of any objection by Contractor to the disclosure of the requested information. Failure by Contractor to object timely will waive Contractor’s ability to object under this section and will waive any remedy against the City for disclosure.

Furthermore, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City from any claims, actions, lawsuits, or any other controversy or remedy, in whatever form, that arises from the failure to comply with the request for information and the laws pertaining to public records, including defending the City in any legal action and payment of any penalties or judgments assessed against the City.

The City represents that it intends to pay all monies due, if such funds have been legally appropriated.
