About this file
This document is an Addendum to a Solicitation for On-Call Real Estate Research Consulting and Related Services issued by the Multnomah County Drainage District No. 1, Peninsula Drainage District No. 1, Peninsula Drainage District No. 2, Sandy Drainage Improvement Company, Columbia Corridor Drainage Districts Joint Contracting Authority, and the Urban Flood Safety and Water Quality District (collectively, the "Districts"). The Addendum modifies the original solicitation by revising the Sample Contract, specifically sections related to the Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and requirements. The Districts will also enter into a PPA with the Department of the Army, which may impose certain requirements and restrictions on the selected contractor. The solicitation has a bid due date that remains unchanged.
The Districts are seeking to establish a Multi-District Personal Services Price Agreement for qualified contractors to provide on-call real estate research, consulting, and related services, including land and right-of-way acquisition, relocation assistance, public outreach, and project management support. The Agreement may be renewed up to five years from the initial execution. Contractors will be compensated based on negotiated rates, which are subject to escalation provisions and audits. The Agreement includes a not-to-exceed compensation cap for each participating District.

All Task Orders, contracts, purchase orders, accepted proposals, and requests for Services issued by a DISTRICT to Contractor under this Agreement are subject to and governed by this Agreement, and this Agreement is incorporated into each Task Order.

In the event that specified MCDD personnel are no longer able to administer this Agreement, a Contract, or both, the Executive Director of MCDD shall designate new MCDD staff to administer the Agreement. DISTRICTS and Contractor will be notified in writing if such change occurs.

Additionally, Contractor shall not assign or transfer any of its interest in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the DISTRICTS, which may be withheld without cause. In addition to any other provisions the DISTRICTS may require, Contractor shall require of any permitted subcontract under this Agreement or Contract, that the subcontractor be bound by all the same terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Contract. Such subcontracts are solely between the Contractor and the subcontractor and shall not have any binding effect on any DISTRICT.
5. Other Contractors. The DISTRICT may undertake or award other contracts for additional or related work, and the Contractor shall fully cooperate with such other contractors and with any DISTRICT employees concerned with such additional or related work, and shall coordinate its performance under this Agreement and any Contract with such additional or related work.

Additionally, the DISTRICTS may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach by Contractor. To be effective, the party (or parties) seeking termination must give to the other party written notice of the breach and its intent to terminate. If the breaching party fails to cure the breach within 15 days of the date of the notice, the non-breaching party (or parties) may terminate the Contract (or the Agreement, as applicable) at any time thereafter by giving a written notice of termination.
d. Notwithstanding Section 10(c), the DISTRICTS may terminate this Agreement, or a DISTRICT may terminate an individual Contract to which it is a party, immediately by written notice to Contractor upon denial, suspension, revocation or non-renewal of any license, permit, or certificate that Contractor must hold to provide services under this Agreement.
e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, the DISTRICTS may terminate or suspend this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Contractor if the Government (as defined in Section 18) terminates or suspends the PPA (as defined in Section 18), or any portion of the PPA, that the DISTRICTS determine, in their sole discretion, is relevant to Contractor’s provision of Services under this Agreement.

The DISTRICT shall not be liable for direct, indirect, or consequential damages. Termination shall not result in a waiver of any other claim the DISTRICT may have against Contractor.
2. If an individual Contract is terminated under Section 10(c) by the Contractor due to a breach by the DISTRICT, then the DISTRICT shall pay the Contractor for Services performed prior to the termination date if such Services were performed in accordance with the Contract.
3.

c. Escalation. Contractor may request an escalation of the compensation rates provided for herein to reflect actual increases in Contractor’s cost to perform the Services.

Adjustments will not become effective until an amendment is executed by both parties reflecting the change.
12. Nondiscrimination (Required by ORS 279A.110).

Contractor covenants that it will continue to
Addendum Page 7 of 25
-7-comply with the Tax Laws during the term of this Agreement. Contractor’s failure to comply with the Tax Laws before the execution of this Agreement or during the term of this Agreement is a default for which DISTRICTS may terminate this Agreement and seek damages and other relief available under the terms of this Agreement or applicable law.

a. Make payment promptly, as due, to all persons supplying to such Contractor labor or material for the prosecution of the work provided for under this Agreement;

ORS 316.167.

2. The payment of a claim in this manner shall not relieve the Contractor or the Contractor’s surety, if any, from obligation with respect to any unpaid claims.
15. Condition Concerning Salvaging, Recycling, Composting or Mulching Waste Material (Required by ORS 279B.225.) If this Agreement involves lawn or landscape maintenance, the Contractor shall salvage, recycle, compost or mulch yard waste material at an approved site, if feasible.

Addendum Page 8 of 25

b. The requirement to pay at least time and a half for all overtime worked in excess of 40 hours in any one week, does not apply to individuals who are excluded under ORS 653.010 to 653.261 or under 29 U.S.C. Section 201 to 209 from receiving overtime.
c. Contractor must give notice in writing to its employees who perform work under this Agreement, at the time of hire, before commencement of work under this Agreement, or by posting a notice in a location frequented by employees, of the number of hours per day and days per week that the employees might be required to work.
d. Contractor must comply with ORS 652.220 (addressing the prohibition of discriminatory wage rates based on sex and of employer discrimination against an employee who is a complainant). Compliance is a material element of this Agreement. Failure to comply is a breach that entitles DISTRICTS to terminate this Agreement for cause. Additionally, Contractor may not prohibit any of Contractor’s employees from discussing the employee’s wage, salary, benefits, or other compensation with another employee or another person, and Contractor may not retaliate against an employee who does so.
17. Payment for Medical Care and Workers Compensation (Required by 279B.230)
a. Contractor shall promptly, as due, make payment to any person, copartnership, association or corporation furnishing medical, surgical and hospital care services or other needed care and attention, incident to sickness or injury, to the employees of the Contractor, of all sums that the Contractor agrees to pay for the services and all moneys and sums that the Contractor collected or deducted from the wages of employees under any law, contract or agreement for the purpose of providing or paying for the services.
b. All subject employers working under this Agreement are either employers that will comply with ORS 656.017 or employers that are exempt under ORS 656.126. Workers' Compensation Exemption Form – Exhibit 4 must be completed if Contractor is exempt from this requirement.
Contractor has verified that agents, individuals, or business entities who are providing labor or services as independent contractors for Contractor under this Agreement are in compliance with Oregon workers’ compensation requirements and have obtained such insurance if required.
