This is a Long Beach Recovery Act Services Agreement boilerplate contract template between the City of Long Beach and a contractor for the development and implementation of programs funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The agreement establishes the framework for providing services in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, with programs falling into three main categories: Economic Recovery, Healthy and Safe Community, and Securing Our City's Future. The contract commences upon execution by the City Manager and ends on the earlier of a specified date or upon final disbursement of grant funds and completion of required closeout activities and reports. The contractor may not begin work until the agreement term has commenced and evidence of insurance has been delivered to and approved by the City.

The agreement specifies that the City's total contribution shall not exceed a stated dollar amount, with grant funding expended only for authorized eligible expenditures in accordance with the approved program budget. Invoicing and payment are contingent upon City approval of invoices demonstrating goods, services, or tasks performed, with the contractor required to certify full conformance with the agreement. The contractor must maintain books and records subject to City audit and inspection for five years following termination or expiration. The agreement incorporates the terms of any Request for Qualifications or Request for Proposal used in the contractor's selection, along with the terms and conditions of the contractor's application as approved by the City. The contractor is required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), workers' compensation, professional liability ($1,000,000 per claim), and commercial automobile liability ($500,000 combined single limit), with the City named as additional insured. All data, materials, and information developed during performance become the exclusive property of the City, and the contractor must maintain strict confidentiality regarding all project information.
