“City of Milwaukee Terms and Conditions” revised October 24, 2022 – page 2

3.2. Contractor’s Terms and Conditions. Contractor’s individual terms and conditions that conflict with or overlap with these Terms and Conditions in any way shall be void, irrespective of whether those terms are attached to the Contract, purport to be incorporated into the Contract, or contain terms purporting to prioritize such terms over these Terms and

Conditions. Any insertion of Contractor’s individual terms and conditions constitutes modification of this Contract and requires City Attorney approval as set forth in the section entitled “These Terms and Conditions apply to all City procurements”.

4. Payment Terms.

4.1. Prompt Payment. Contractor shall submit an Invoice to City on a monthly basis for any fees accrued during the preceding month within thirty (30) days of the end of said month. Pursuant to Common Council File No. 101137, if City does not make payment within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Invoice, City shall pay simple interest beginning with the thirty-first (31st) calendar day after submission of the Invoice at the rate of one percent (1%) per month. No attorney’s fees, expenses, or other collection costs may be billed to City unless otherwise agreed to in writing. City may dispute any incorrect charges, charges disallowed by this Contract, or charges for work, services, or deliveries that were incomplete, incorrectly done, defective, damaged, or the like. No interest shall be applied to any outstanding amounts when Contractor has been sent notice that the amount owed to Contractor is subject to a good faith dispute within forty-five (45) days of the receipt of the Invoice, provided the notice was sent by first-class mail, personally delivered, or otherwise sent in accordance with any notice provisions in this Contract. In the event that the forty-fifth (45th) day after receipt of the Invoice is a Saturday, Sunday, or national holiday, payment may be made on the following business day without interest being owed to Contractor.

City’s failure to pay in a timely fashion does not relieve Contractor of its obligation to perform the services for which it has been retained. Consistent with Wis. Stat. § 66.0135(3), Contractor shall pay any of its subcontractors for satisfactory work within seven (7) days of Contractor's receipt of payment from City or seven (7) days from receipt of an Invoice from the subcontractor, whichever is later. If Contractor fails to make timely payment to a subcontractor, Contractor shall pay interest to the subcontractor at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year, compounded monthly, beginning with the eighth (8th) calendar day after Contractor's receipt of payment from City or receipt of an Invoice from the subcontractor, whichever is later.

4.2. Payment Monitoring Requirements. If the total amount paid under this Contract will be twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or more and this Contract includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation requirement, Contractor shall participate in mandatory training on the City of Milwaukee Office of Equity and Inclusion’s Compliance

Reporting and Certification System Software program (“Compliance Software”). The Compliance Software can be accessed at https://milwaukee.diversitycompliance.com. Contractor shall complete the Compliance Software training no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of this Contract. Throughout the term of this Contract, Contractor shall immediately update Contractor contact information and shall report regular payment activity to SBEs in the Compliance Software. City is not in breach of this Contract and shall not be required to pay any interest pursuant to the section entitled “Prompt

Payment” for any late payments that result in whole or in part from Contractor’s failure to update its information or failure to otherwise provide accurate information to City through its Compliance Software. Contractor shall contact the Office of

Equity and Inclusion at 414-286-5553 if it has questions or concerns regarding the Compliance Software.

5. Personnel.

5.1. Subcontractors. Contractor may not employ subcontractors to fulfill the scope of services or otherwise perform under this Contract without written pre-approval from City. If Contractor receives written pre-approval from City to hire subcontractors, Contractor shall hire such subcontractors via written subcontract, and Contractor shall insert language into each such subcontract specifying that the subcontractor shall be subject to each provision of this Contract, including, but not limited to, all insurance requirements. Contractor shall be as fully responsible to City for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors and of persons indirectly employed by it as it is for the acts and omissions of its own officers, employees and agents.

5.2. Independent Contractors. Contractor is an independent contractor, and neither Contractor, nor Contractor’s officers, employees or agents are employees of City, nor are they entitled to any fringe benefits or any other benefits to which City’s https://milwaukee.diversitycompliance.com/

The amounts withheld shall be disbursed by City on behalf of

Contractor or subcontractor, if any, to the employee(s) to whom they are due. Contractor shall credit City for any payments made to Contractor’s employee(s) pursuant to this subsection as though the payments were made to Contractor pursuant to this Contract.

6.3. False Oath. If any documents submitted to City contain any false, misleading or fraudulent information, or if

Contractor fails to comply with the provisions of this section, City may withhold payments as provided for under the section entitled “Withholding of Salaries” and/or immediately terminate, cancel or suspend this Contract in whole or in part in its sole discretion. Contractor further acknowledges that violations of this clause could result in the denial of Contractor’s right to participate in future City contracts.

6.4. Posting the Living Wage. Notice of the requirement to pay a living wage under the section entitled “Living Wage” shall be posted by Contractor in any location where persons employed in the performance of this Contract work in a prominent place where it can be easily seen and read and shall be supplied to any person employed in the performance of this Contract at that person’s request within a reasonable period of time thereafter.

City shall notify Contractor of its intent to terminate by giving Contractor written notice at least five (5) business days before the effective date of the termination and identifying the alleged deficiencies in Contractor’s performance, and shall give Contractor thirty (30) days to cure such deficiencies prior to termination. In such event, all deliverables completed by Contractor as of the date of termination shall, at the option of City, become property of City.

City if, in City’s determination, City is required to produce the Records to a third (3rd) party in response to a public records request.

9. INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFENSE OF SUITS.

9.1. INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN GENERAL.

City or any of its subcontractors, officers, agents, or employees for the acts or omissions of Contractor or any of its subcontractors, officers, agents, or employees in whole or in part in the performance of the covenants, acts, matters or things covered by this Contract, or for injury or damage caused by the alleged acts or omissions of Contractor or any of its subcontractors, its officers, agents or employees. City will, at its sole option, decide whether to tender the defense of any claim, action in court, or proceeding before an administrative agency in which Contractor has a duty to indemnify to Contractor or Contractor’s insurer and upon such tender it shall be the duty of Contractor and

Contractor’s insurer to defend such claim, action, or proceeding without cost or expense to City or its officers, agents, or employees using counsel selected by Contractor and Contractor’s insurer and approved by City.

If any action in court, claim, or proceeding before an administrative agency is brought against City or any of its officers or employees due, in whole or in part, to the alleged infringement of or by Contractor of any copyright, license, trademark, service mark, logo, or other

“City of Milwaukee Terms and Conditions” revised October 24, 2022 – page 6 intellectual property, (collectively, “Claims”), Contractor shall indemnify City and its officers and employees from all losses, damages, costs, expenses, judgments, or decrees to the extent arising out of such Claims caused by

City of Milwaukee may not discriminate against any member of the Protected Classes, and such contractors must insert this clause into any subcontracts of subcontractors employing any resident of the City of Milwaukee.

“Termination for Cause.”

12.3. Effect of Regulations. Should any local, state or national regulatory authority having jurisdiction over City impose a valid and enforceable order upon City which has the effect of changing or superseding any term or condition of the

Contract, such order shall be complied with, but only so long as such order remains in effect and only to the extent actually necessary under the law. In such event, the Contract shall remain in effect and be modified or terminated in the manner provided for by the section entitled “Severability.”

13. Remedies and No Waiver. Nothing in this Contract shall be construed to waive any privilege, right of recovery, cause of action, defense, remedy, category of damages, or immunity to which City is entitled under common law, or federal, state, or local law; waiver of any of the foregoing may only be accomplished in writing by an individual with the authority to bind City.

14. Insurance Requirements. Throughout the Term of this Contract, Contractor is solely responsible for meeting its insurance needs, but shall, at a minimum, carry insurance that meets the insurance requirements set forth in this section.

Any failure to comply with these minimum requirements during the Term is a material breach of this Contract permitting

Contract and every anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter (“Year”) of this Contract, Contractor shall be entitled to request an increase in the price paid by City moving forward.
