PARKER WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT
AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this _____ day of _________ 20__, by and between THE PARKER WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT (the "District"), a
Colorado special district and political subdivision having an address at 18100 E. Woodman
Drive, Parker, Colorado 80134 and __________________________ (“Consultant”) with an address of _______________________ (collectively the "Parties").
WHEREAS, the District requires professional services; and
WHEREAS, Consultant has held itself out to the District as having the requisite expertise and experience to perform the required professional services.
NOW, THEREFORE, for the consideration hereinafter set forth, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Consultant shall furnish all labor and materials required for the complete and prompt execution and performance of all duties, obligations, and responsibilities which are described or reasonably implied from the Scope of Services set forth in the attached Exhibit A.
B. A change in the Scope of Services shall constitute a material change or amendment of services or work which is different from or additional to the Scope of Services.
No such change, including any additional compensation, shall be effective or paid unless authorized by written amendment executed by the District. If Consultant proceeds without such written authorization, then Consultant shall be deemed to have waived any claim for additional compensation, including a claim based on the theory of unjust enrichment, quantum merit or implied contract. Except as expressly provided herein, no agent, employee, or representative of the District is authorized to modify any term of this Agreement, either directly or implied by a course of action.
II. COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF WORK
A. Consultant shall commence work as set forth in the Scope of Services. Except as may be changed in writing by the District, the Scope of Services shall be completed and
Consultant shall furnish the District the specified deliverables as provided in Exhibit A.
B. Time is of the essence in completion of the services described in Exhibit A.
Except for acts of God, acts of insurrection or national emergency, weather conditions which are significantly abnormal and which render performance of the required services impossible, Consultant shall not be entitled to additional time to complete the services described in Exhibit
A, and the Consultant shall be held to the time for completion identified in Exhibit A.
C. Should Consultant, for whatever reason, require additional time to complete such services, Consultant shall request such additional time in writing, explaining the reasons why
C:\USERS\ASOFRANKO\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\INETCACHE\CONTENT.OUTLOOK\X3UKOEJF\PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT--A122122 (002).DOC
such additional time is required. The District shall consider such request in good faith, and may grant all or part of the requested additional time if the District determines that good cause exists for granting such additional time. The District is not under any obligation to grant any additional time for any delay in performance which is attributable to any action or inaction on the part of, or which was in the control of Consultant or any agent, employee or subcontractor of Consultant.
D. In the event the District grants Consultant's request for additional time, such grant of additional time shall be Consultant's sole relief and shall be granted in lieu of additional compensation.
III. COMPENSATION
A. In consideration for the completion of the Scope of Services by Consultant, the
District shall pay Consultant an amount not to exceed __________________________ Dollars
($_________.00). Unless specified otherwise in the Scope of Services, payment shall be made upon satisfactory completion of the Scope of Services. This maximum amount shall include all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Consultant, and no additional amounts shall be paid by the
District for such fees, costs and expenses.
B. Notwithstanding the maximum amount specified in Paragraph A hereof, Consultant shall be paid only for work performed at Consultant's standard rates. If Consultant completes the Scope of Services for a lesser amount than the maximum amount, Consultant shall be paid the lesser amount, not the maximum amount.
IV. PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
A. Consultant hereby warrants that it is qualified to assume the responsibilities and render the services described herein and has all requisite corporate authority and professional licenses in good standing, required by law.
B. The work performed by Consultant shall be in accordance with generally accepted professional practices and the level of competency presently maintained by other practicing professional firms in the same or similar type of work in the applicable community. The work and services to be performed by Consultant hereunder shall be done in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
C. The District’s review, approval or acceptance of, or payment for any services shall not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of this Agreement.
D. Because the District has hired Consultant for its professional expertise, Consultant agrees not to employ subcontractors to perform any of the work required under the Scope of
Services, unless specifically stated otherwise in the Scope of Services.
V. OWNERSHIP
C:\USERS\ASOFRANKO\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\INETCACHE\CONTENT.OUTLOOK\X3UKOEJF\PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT--A122122 (002).DOC
The materials, items, and work specified in the Scope of Services, together with any and all related documentation and materials provided or developed by Consultant shall be exclusively owned by the District. Consultant expressly acknowledges and agrees that all work performed under the Scope of Services constitutes a “work made for hire.” To the extent, if at all, it shall not constitute a “work made for hire,” Consultant hereby transfers, sells, and assigns to the
District all of its right, title, and interest in such work.
VI. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Consultant is an independent contractor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, all personnel assigned by Consultant to perform work under the terms of this
Agreement shall be, and remain at all times, employees or agents of Consultant for all purposes.
Consultant shall make no representation that it is a District employee for any purposes.
VII. INSURANCE
A. Consultant agrees to procure and maintain, at its own cost, a policy or policies of insurance sufficient to insure against all liability, claims, demands, and other obligations assumed by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement. Such insurance shall be in addition to any other insurance requirements imposed by law.
B. Consultant shall procure and maintain, and shall cause any subcontractor of
Consultant to procure and maintain, the minimum insurance coverages listed below. Such coverages shall be procured and maintained with forms and insurers acceptable to the District.
In the case of any claims-made policy, the necessary retroactive dates and extended reporting periods shall be procured to maintain such continuous coverage.
1. Worker's compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by applicable law for any employee engaged in the performance of work under this
Agreement, and Employer's Liability insurance with minimum limits of one million dollars ($1,000,000) each accident, one million dollars ($1,000,000) disease – policy limit, and one million dollars ($1,000,000) disease – each employee.

2. Commercial general liability insurance with minimum combined single limits of one million dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence and one million dollars
($1,000,000) general aggregate. The policy shall be applicable to all premises and operations. The policy shall include coverage for bodily injury, broad form property damage (including completed operations), personal injury (including coverage for contractual and employee acts), blanket contractual, products, and completed operations.
The policy shall contain a severability of interests provision, and shall be endorsed to include the District and the District's officers, employees, and contractors as additional insureds. No additional insured endorsement shall contain any exclusion for bodily injury or property damage arising from completed operations.

D. Consultant shall provide to the District a certificate of insurance, completed by
Consultant's insurance agent, as evidence that policies providing the required coverages, conditions, and minimum limits are in full force and effect. The certificate shall identify this

The District reserves the right to request and receive a certified copy of any policy and any endorsement thereto.
E. Failure on the part of Consultant to procure or maintain the insurance required herein shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement upon which the District may immediately terminate this Agreement, or at its discretion, the District may procure or renew any such policy or any extended reporting period thereto and may pay any and all premiums in connection therewith, and all monies so paid by the District shall be repaid by Consultant to the
District upon demand, or the District may offset the cost of the premiums against any monies due to Consultant from the District.
VIII. INDEMNIFICATION
Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the District and its officers, insurers, volunteers, representative, agents, employees, heirs and assigns from and against all claims, liability, damages, losses, expenses and demands, including attorney fees, on account of injury, loss, or damage, including without limitation claims arising from bodily injury, personal injury, sickness, disease, death, property loss or damage, or any other loss of any kind whatsoever, which arise out of or are in any manner connected with this Agreement if such injury, loss, or damage is caused in whole or in part by, the negligent act, omission, error, mistake, or other fault of Consultant, any subcontractor of Consultant, or any officer, employee, representative, or agent of Consultant, or which arise out of a worker's compensation claim of any employee of
Consultant or of any employee of any subcontractor of Consultant. Consultant's liability under this indemnification provision shall be to the fullest extent of, but shall not exceed, that amount represented by the degree or percentage of negligence or fault attributable to Consultant, any subcontractor of Consultant, or any officer, employee, representative, or agent of Consultant or of any subcontractor of Consultant. If Consultant is providing architectural, engineering, surveying or other design services under this Agreement, the extent of Consultant's obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the District may be determined only after Consultant's liability or fault has been determined by adjudication, alternative dispute resolution or otherwise resolved by mutual agreement between the Parties, as provided by C.R.S. § 13-50.5-102(8)(c).

Services is completed and the requirements of this Agreement are satisfied, or upon the District's providing Consultant with seven (7) days advance written notice, whichever occurs first. If the
Agreement is terminated by the District's issuance of written notice of intent to terminate, the
