Summary

This is a Personal Services Contract template from the City of Beaverton, Oregon, establishing terms and conditions for the delivery of professional or personal services. The contract serves as a framework for engagements where the City procures work from independent contractors. Key contractual elements include the contract's effective date upon execution and approval by the City's legal counsel, with expiration upon City acceptance of completed work or on a specified date, whichever occurs first. The scope of work is defined through the contractor's proposal, a Statement of Services and Delivery Schedule, or specific terms outlined in the contract itself. The contract incorporates by reference a Request for Proposal (RFP) if the engagement results from an RFP solicitation, establishing a clear order of precedence where the contract document takes priority over any RFP or proposal in case of conflicts.

Compensation is structured either as a fixed sum or hourly rate for satisfactory work completion, with a specified maximum not-to-exceed amount that includes all allowable expenses and reimbursements. Invoices must be submitted at least thirty days prior to the payment due date, with payment processed after the Contract Administrator approves and accepts completed work. The City may withhold up to 10 percent of total compensation until all required work is completed and accepted. The contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit 1, obtain a City of Beaverton business license, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including Oregon tax laws, anti-discrimination statutes, and public contracting regulations. The contract emphasizes independent contractor status, worker's compensation requirements, intellectual property ownership vesting with the City, and broad indemnification obligations. Notably, Exhibit 2 excludes the COVID-19 pandemic from force majeure protections, establishing specific procedures for contractors to request time adjustments for COVID-related delays through documented notification within seven calendar days of becoming aware of delays.
