About this file
This is a sample contract template (Form P-600) issued by the City and County of San Francisco, Office of Contract Administration, for use with the Human Services Agency/Disability and Aging Services. The document establishes the standard terms and conditions for service agreements with non-profit and other contractors providing services to the City. The template is designed to be customized for specific procurements, including those conducted through Request for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Qualifications (RFQ) processes. The contract encompasses a comprehensive range of services to be detailed in Appendix A (Scope of Services), with performance requirements, qualification standards, and personnel oversight responsibilities assigned to the contractor. The contract term, commencement date, expiration date, and any renewal options are to be specified in Article 2, with the City retaining sole discretion to extend the agreement for additional periods. Pre-proposal conferences, bidder meetings, and other solicitation-specific details would be included in the associated RFP document rather than this template.
The compensation structure is established in Article 3, with a not-to-exceed amount plus contingency to be specified in Appendix B (Calculation of Charges), and payment limited to satisfactory services approved by the City. The contractor must invoice within 30 days of service delivery, with payment due within 30 calendar days of invoice receipt or service rendering, whichever is later. The template incorporates mandatory City requirements including Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting participation requirements (unless waived), prevailing wage compliance where applicable, workers' compensation and general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000, and compliance with numerous San Francisco Administrative Code provisions addressing non-discrimination, health care accountability, minimum compensation, and data security. The contract is subject to non-appropriation and may terminate without penalty if funding is not approved in subsequent fiscal years. Grant-funded agreements must incorporate applicable federal or state grant terms, and contractors are required to maintain records for audit purposes for a minimum of five years after final payment.

4.2 Qualified Personnel. Contractor represents and warrants that it is qualified to perform the Services for which it is contracted to provide through this Agreement, and that all Services will be performed by competent personnel with the degree of skill and care required by current and sound professional procedures and practices.

Contractor shall commit sufficient resources for timely completion within the project schedule.
4.3 Subcontracting. Contractor may subcontract portions of the Services only upon prior written approval of City. Contractor is responsible for its subcontractors throughout the course of the work required to perform the Services.

Neither Party shall, on the basis of this Agreement, contract on behalf of, or in the name of, the other Party. Any agreement made in violation of this provision shall be null and void. City’s execution of this Agreement constitutes its approval of the subcontractors listed below and/or in Appendices.
4.4 Independent Contractor; Payment of Employment Taxes and Other Expenses.
4.4.1 Independent Contractor. For the purposes of this Section 4.4, “Contractor” shall be deemed to include not only Contractor, but also any agent or employee of Contractor. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that at all times, Contractor is an independent contractor and is wholly responsible for the manner and means by which it performs the Services and work required under this Agreement. Contractor, including its agents and employees, will not represent or hold itself/themselves out to be employees of City at any time. Contractor shall not have employee status with City, nor be entitled to participate in any plans, arrangements, or distributions by City pertaining to or in connection with any retirement, health, or other benefits that City may offer its employees. Contractor is liable for its acts and omissions. Contractor shall be responsible for all obligations and payments, whether imposed by federal, state, or local law, including, but not limited to, FICA, income tax withholdings, unemployment compensation, insurance, and other similar responsibilities related to Contractor’s performing Services and work, or any agent or employee of Contractor providing same. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating an employment or agency relationship between City and Contractor, or any of its agents or employees. Contractor agrees to maintain and make available to City, upon request and during regular business hours, accurate books and accounting records demonstrating Contractor’s compliance with Section 4.4. Should City determine that Contractor is not performing in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.4, City shall provide Contractor with written notice of such failure. Within five (5) business days of Contractor’s receipt of such notice, and in accordance with Contractor policy and procedure, Contractor shall remedy the deficiency. Notwithstanding, if City believes that an action of Contractor warrants immediate
Program Name, FYxx-xx (full term) 11 of 31 [revise as necessary] FSP #, [term start date] remedial action by Contractor, City shall contact Contractor and provide Contractor in writing with the reason for requesting such immediate action.
4.4.2 Payment of Employment Taxes and Other Expenses. Should City, in its discretion, or a relevant taxing authority such as the Internal Revenue Service or the State Employment Development Division, or both, determine that Contractor is an employee for purposes of collection of any employment taxes, the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced by amounts equal to both the employee and employer portions of the tax due (and offsetting any credits for amounts already paid by Contractor which can be applied against this liability). City shall then forward those amounts to the relevant taxing authority.
Should a relevant taxing authority determine a liability for past Services performed by Contractor for City, upon notification of such fact by City, Contractor shall promptly remit such amount due or arrange with City to have the amount due withheld from future payments to Contractor under this Agreement (again, offsetting any amounts already paid by Contractor which can be applied as a credit against such liability). A determination of employment status pursuant to Section 4.4 shall be solely limited to the purposes of the particular tax in question, and for all other purposes of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be considered an employee of City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless City and its officers, agents, and employees from, and, if requested, shall defend them against any and all claims, losses, costs, damages, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from Section 4.4.
4.5 Assignment. The Services to be performed by Contractor are personal in character. This Agreement may not be directly or indirectly assigned, novated, or otherwise transferred unless first approved by City by written instrument executed and approved in the same manner as this Agreement. Any purported assignment made in violation of this provision shall be null and void.
4.6 Reserved. (Liquidated Damages)
4.7 Reserved. (Performance Bond)
4.8 Reserved. (Fidelity Bond or Crime Insurance)
4.9 Emergency - Priority 1 Service. In case of an emergency that affects any part of the San Francisco Bay Area, Contractor will give the City and County of San Francisco Priority 1 service with regard to the Services procured under this Agreement unless preempted by State and/or Federal laws. Contractor will make every good faith effort in attempting to deliver Services using all modes of transportation available. In addition, the Contractor shall charge fair and competitive prices for Services ordered during an emergency and not covered under the awarded Agreement.
Article 5 Insurance and Indemnity
5.1 Insurance.
Program Name, FYxx-xx (full term) 12 of 31 [revise as necessary] FSP #, [term start date]
Overview. The following types and amounts of insurance are those most commonly required in City contracts. However, departments should tailor the types and amounts of insurance to the particular risks associated with each contract. Examples of what will trigger higher policy limits and additional types of coverage include: PII, PHI, chemicals, fuel, transport of hazardous waste, heavy equipment, aircraft, and any commodity or service that can cause significant property damage or bodily injury.
