AWARD OF CONTRACT

Insurance and Bonds

1 Prior to commencement of its Work, the Subcontractor shall furnish to Contractor, policies of insurance and appropriate certificates evidencing that the below described insurance is in force and fully paid. All insurance policies and certificates provided for hereunder shall become a part of this Subcontract and the policies and insurance company issuing same must be acceptable to Contractor. The Subcontractor shall purchase and maintain insurance of the following types of coverage and limits of liability:

1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) with limits of insurance not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate.

1.1.1 If the CGL coverage contains a General Aggregate Limit, such General Aggregate shall apply separately to each project.

1.1.2 CGL coverage shall be written on ISO Occurrence Form CG 00 01 1093 or a substitute form providing equivalent coverage and shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, and personal and advertising injury.

1.1.3 Contractor, Owner, and all other parties required by the Contractor and/or by the Owner Contract, shall be included as additional insureds on the CGL, the endorsement used must provide a scope of coverage equivalent to or broader than the ISO CG 20 10 and 2037 forms. This insurance for the additional insureds shall be as broad as the coverage provided for the named insured Subcontractor. It shall apply as Primary Insurance before any other insurance or self-insurance, including any deductible, maintained by, or provided to, the additional insured. Insurance must be primary and non-contributory.

1.1.4 Subcontractor shall maintain CGL coverage for itself and all additional insureds for the duration of the Project and maintain Completed Operations coverage for itself and each additional insured through the longer of the applicable statute of limitations or repose period for construction defects and products liability claim in the state where the Work is performed after completion of the Work.

1.2 Automobile Liability

1.2.1 Business Auto Liability with limits of at least $1,000,000 each accident.

1.2.2 Business Auto coverage must include coverage for liability arising out of all owned, leased, hired and non-owned automobiles.

1.2.3 Contractor, Owner and all other parties required of the Contractor shall be included as additional insureds on the auto policy.

City of DeBary 8 of 23 RFP 03-20

1.3 Commercial Umbrella

1.3.1 Umbrella limits must be at least $1,000,000.

1.3.2 Umbrella coverage must include as insureds all entities that are additional insureds on the CGL.

1.3.3 Umbrella coverage for such additional insureds shall apply as primary before any other insurance or self-insurance, including any deductible, maintained by, or provided to the additional insured other than the CGL, Auto Liability and Employers Liability coverages maintained by the Subcontractor.

1.4 Workers' Compensation and Employers Liability

1.4.1 Employers Liability Insurance limits of at least $500,000 each accident for bodily injury by accident and $500,000 each employee for injury by disease.

1.4.2 Where applicable, U.S. Longshore and Harborworkers Compensation Act Endorsement shall be attached to the policy.

1.4.3 Where applicable, the Maritime Coverage Endorsement shall be attached to the policy.

1.5 Builder's Risk Insurance

1.5.1 The Contractor and/or Owner may pay for and/or maintain a Builder's Risk Insurance policy insuring the Work against damages and loss by fire, storm, theft, and other such causes from which the Subcontractor shall receive his pro-rata share in the event of a loss. However, the Contractor assumes no responsibility for any loss excluded from Builder's Risk Insurance, or for payment of any deductibles regardless of whether the Contractor or Owner paid for or provided the Builder's Risk Insurance. If the Owner or Contractor has not purchased insurance satisfactory to Subcontractor, Subcontractor may, as its sole option and expense, purchase and maintain a policy insuring its Work against damages and loss by fire, storm, theft and other such causes to protect the interest of the Subcontractor.

2 Certificates of Insurance acceptable to the Contractor shall be filed with the Contractor prior to commencement of the Subcontractor's Work. Attached to each Certificate of Insurance shall be a copy of the Additional Insured Endorsement that is part of the Subcontractor's Commercial General Liability Policy. Contractor's receipt of Subcontractor's proof of insurance as required above at the beginning of the Project, and at any other time that the insurance required by the Contract Documents is required to be in place, is an express condition precedent to Subcontractor's right to commence work and Subcontractor's right to payment at any time.

3 Coverages, whether written on an occurrence or claims-made basis, shall be maintained without interruption from date of commencement of the Subcontractor's Work until date of final payment and termination of any coverage required to be maintained after final payment to the Subcontractor.

4 These certificates and the insurance policies required by this paragraph shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days prior written notice has been given to the Contractor. If any of the foregoing insurance coverages are required to remain in force after final payment, an additional certificate evidencing continuation of such coverage shall be submitted with the final application for payment. If Subcontractor receives notice that any of its insurance carriers intend to cancel, non-renew, or materially change any of the policies required to be maintained by the Subcontract for any reason, it must immediately give written notice of the same to Contractor. Furthermore, if Subcontractor cancels, non-renews, or materially changes any of the policies required to be maintained by the Subcontract for any reason, it must give written notice to Contractor thirty (30) days in advance of such changes becoming effective. The use of "Leased Employees" or a Professional Employer Organization to administer Workers' Compensation shall expressly constitute a material change. Subcontractor's failure at any time to have insurance coverage of the types and amounts listed herein is a material breach of contract and a default justifying termination of this Subcontract.

5 Waiver of Subrogation. Subcontractor waives all rights against Contractor, Owner and Architect and their agents, officers, directors and employees for recovery of damages to the extent these damages are covered by Subcontractor's commercial general liability, commercial umbrella liability, business auto liability or Workers' Compensation and employers liability insurance maintained per requirements stated above.

City of DeBary 9 of 23 RFP 03-20

6 It is expressly agreed and understood by and between Subcontractor and Contractor that all insurance, whether issued on a primary or excess basis, afforded the additional insureds shall be primary insurance to any other insurance available to Contractor and that any other insurance carried by Contractor shall be excess of all other insurance carried by the Subcontractor and shall not contribute with the Subcontractor's insurance. Subcontractor further agrees to provide endorsements on its insurance policies that shall state the foregoing; however, Subcontractor's failure to provide such endorsement shall not affect Subcontractor's agreement hereunder.

7 Bonds are required as defined in Exhibit "A" of this Subcontract. If required, bonds must be for the total amount of this Subcontract. We require the bonding company to have an A.M. Best Financial Strength Rating of A- or better, a Financial Size of V or greater, and listed in the Department of the Treasury's Listing of Certified Companies. Bonds will only be accepted on the forms attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "F". The cost to supply the bonds is included in the Subcontract Amount.

Any changes in or under the Contract Documents and compliance or noncompliance with any formalities connected with the Contract or the changes does not affect Surety’s obligation under this Bond.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

ARTICLE 1 – SCOPE OF SERVICES & GENERAL TERMS

1.1 As an independent contractor, CONTRACTOR shall perform those services for CITY as described in the RFP, which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Contract. All such work shall be completed within 30 days of contract execution, unless the CITY grants an extension in its sole discretion.

1.3 The CITY shall have the right to determine the frequency, schedule, and times of CONTRACTOR’S services, which may be altered at any time during the duration of the Contract in the CITY’s discretion.

1.4 The CITY may, at any time and for any reason, direct the CONTRACTOR to suspend work (in whole or in part) under this Contract. Such direction shall be in writing, and shall specify the period during which services shall be stopped. The CONTRACTOR shall resume work under this Contract upon the date specified, or upon such other date as the CITY may thereafter specify in writing. The suspension or delay of work, whether caused or not caused by the actions or inactions of the CITY, shall not give rise to any claim by the CONTRACTOR against the CITY.

1.5 The City, without invalidating the Contract, may order extra work or make changes in the work, the Contract sum being adjusted accordingly. All such work shall be executed under the conditions of the original Contract except that any extension of time caused thereby shall be adjusted at the time of ordering such change. All such changes shall be agreed to and recorded as a “Contract Change Order” or some other

City of DeBary 12 of 23 RFP 03-20 written form in the CITY’s discretion. The City Manager or designee shall have authority to make minor changes in work not involving extra cost and not inconsistent with the purpose of the work but otherwise, except in an emergency endangering life or property, no extra work or substantial change shall be made unless covered by a “Contract Change Order” or similar executed writing. No claim for an addition to the Contract sum shall be valid unless so provided in writing. Before becoming effective, all Change Orders and similar instruments must be signed by all parties indicated. If the CONTRACTOR claims that any changes in the work or any instructions by means of drawings or otherwise involve extra cost, he/she shall give the City Manager or designee written notice thereof within a reasonable time after receipt of such instructions or of notice of such changes and, in any event, before proceeding to carry out such instructions or to put such changes into effect, except in case of emergency endangering life or property. In all cases the CONTRACTOR shall keep a correct account of the extra cost in such form as the City Manager or designee may direct and shall present such account supported by receipts to the City Manager or designee. The CITY shall be entitled to reject any claim for extra cost concerning which the foregoing procedure is not followed.

1.6 The CITY reserves the right to contract with any person or firm other than the CONTRACTOR for any or all extra work. The CONTRACTOR’s attention is called to the fact that he/she/it shall be entitled to no claim for damages for anticipated profits on any portion of work or extra work for which the CITY may contract with another party.

1.7 In the event of a conflict between a term of this Contract and the RFP, this Contract shall control to the extent of the conflict.

1.8 The City Manager, the City Manager’s designee, and the Debary City Council shall have the authority to exercise any right or authority granted to the CITY under this Contract.

ARTICLE 2 –PRICE AND PAYMENT

2.1 The CITY shall pay the CONTRACTOR for services actually rendered based on the prices set forth in the CONTRACTOR’S proposal and/or any other price schedule agreed to by the parties (the “Price Schedule”). The CONTRACTOR will bill the CITY only for completed work, and only once a month.

2.2 Invoices received from the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Contract will be reviewed, approved, and paid by the appropriate department of the CITY on a monthly basis provided that services have been rendered satisfactorily and in conformity with this Contract. All invoices shall indicate the area(s) where the work was performed and any supporting documentation as the CITY may require in its discretion.

Deficiencies in the services performed, as determined by the CITY in its sole discretion, may result in the withholding of payment until such deficiencies are corrected to the CITY’s satisfaction.

2.3 If at any time there shall be evidence of any lien or claim for which the CITY might become liable and which is chargeable to the CONTRACTOR, the CITY shall have the right to retain out of any payment then due or thereafter to become due, an amount sufficient for complete indemnification against such lien or claim. In the event the CITY has already paid to the CONTRACTOR all sums due under this contract or the balance remaining unpaid is insufficient to protect the CITY, the CONTRACTOR and his Surety shall be liable to the City for any loss so sustained.

ARTICLE 3 - TERMINATION

3.1 In the event of a breach by either party of this Contract, the non-breaching party may terminate the Contract upon fifteen (15) days written notice and opportunity to cure to the other party, or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary given the nature of the breach.

3.2 In the event of termination by either party, the CITY shall forthwith pay the CONTRACTOR in full for all work previously authorized and actually performed to the CITY’s satisfaction prior to the notice

City of DeBary 13 of 23 RFP 03-20 of termination. This payment shall be the sole financial obligation or responsibility of the CITY for compensation hereunder in the event of termination by either party in accordance with the provisions of this article.

ARTICLE 8 – INSURANCE & PERFORMANCE BOND

Insurance and Bonds

1 Prior to commencement of its Work, the Subcontractor shall furnish to Contractor, policies of insurance and appropriate certificates evidencing that the below described insurance is in force and fully paid. All insurance policies and certificates

City of DeBary 15 of 23 RFP 03-20 provided for hereunder shall become a part of this Subcontract and the policies and insurance company issuing same must be acceptable to Contractor. The Subcontractor shall purchase and maintain insurance of the following types of coverage and limits of liability:

1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) with limits of insurance not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate.

1.1.1 If the CGL coverage contains a General Aggregate Limit, such General Aggregate shall apply separately to each project.

1.1.2 CGL coverage shall be written on ISO Occurrence Form CG 00 01 1093 or a substitute form providing equivalent coverage and shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, and personal and advertising injury.

1.1.3 Contractor, Owner, and all other parties required by the Contractor and/or by the Owner Contract, shall be included as additional insureds on the CGL, the endorsement used must provide a scope of coverage equivalent to or broader than the ISO CG 20 10 and 2037 forms. This insurance for the additional insureds shall be as broad as the coverage provided for the named insured Subcontractor. It shall apply as Primary Insurance before any other insurance or self-insurance, including any deductible, maintained by, or provided to, the additional insured. Insurance must be primary and non-contributory.

1.1.4 Subcontractor shall maintain CGL coverage for itself and all additional insureds for the duration of the Project and maintain Completed Operations coverage for itself and each additional insured through the longer of the applicable statute of limitations or repose period for construction defects and products liability claim in the state where the Work is performed after completion of the Work.

1.2 Automobile Liability

1.2.1 Business Auto Liability with limits of at least $1,000,000 each accident.

1.2.2 Business Auto coverage must include coverage for liability arising out of all owned, leased, hired and non-owned automobiles.

1.2.3 Contractor, Owner and all other parties required of the Contractor shall be included as additional insureds on the auto policy.

1.3 Commercial Umbrella

1.3.1 Umbrella limits must be at least $1,000,000.

1.3.2 Umbrella coverage must include as insureds all entities that are additional insureds on the CGL.

1.3.3 Umbrella coverage for such additional insureds shall apply as primary before any other insurance or self-insurance, including any deductible, maintained by, or provided to the additional insured other than the CGL, Auto Liability and Employers Liability coverages maintained by the Subcontractor.

1.4 Workers' Compensation and Employers Liability

1.4.1 Employers Liability Insurance limits of at least $500,000 each accident for bodily injury by accident and $500,000 each employee for injury by disease.

1.4.2 Where applicable, U.S. Longshore and Harborworkers

Compensation Act Endorsement shall be attached to the policy.

1.4.3 Where applicable, the Maritime Coverage Endorsement shall be attached to the policy.

1.5 Builder's Risk Insurance

1.5.1 The Contractor and/or Owner may pay for and/or maintain a Builder's Risk Insurance policy insuring the Work against damages

City of DeBary 16 of 23 RFP 03-20 and loss by fire, storm, theft, and other such causes from which the Subcontractor shall receive his pro-rata share in the event of a loss.

However, the Contractor assumes no responsibility for any loss excluded from Builder's Risk Insurance, or for payment of any deductibles regardless of whether the Contractor or Owner paid for or provided the Builder's Risk Insurance. If the Owner or Contractor has not purchased insurance satisfactory to Subcontractor, Subcontractor may, as its sole option and expense, purchase and maintain a policy insuring its Work against damages and loss by fire, storm, theft and other such causes to protect the interest of the Subcontractor.

2 Certificates of Insurance acceptable to the Contractor shall be filed with the Contractor prior to commencement of the Subcontractor's Work. Attached to each Certificate of Insurance shall be a copy of the Additional Insured Endorsement that is part of the Subcontractor's Commercial General Liability Policy. Contractor's receipt of Subcontractor's proof of insurance as required above at the beginning of the Project, and at any other time that the insurance required by the Contract Documents is required to be in place, is an express condition precedent to Subcontractor's right to commence work and Subcontractor's right to payment at any time.

3 Coverages, whether written on an occurrence or claims-made basis, shall be maintained without interruption from date of commencement of the Subcontractor's Work until date of final payment and termination of any coverage required to be maintained after final payment to the Subcontractor.

4 These certificates and the insurance policies required by this paragraph shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days prior written notice has been given to the Contractor. If any of the foregoing insurance coverages are required to remain in force after final payment, an additional certificate evidencing continuation of such coverage shall be submitted with the final application for payment. If Subcontractor receives notice that any of its insurance carriers intend to cancel, non-renew, or materially change any of the policies required to be maintained by the Subcontract for any reason, it must immediately give written notice of the same to Contractor. Furthermore, if Subcontractor cancels, non-renews, or materially changes any of the policies required to be maintained by the Subcontract for any reason, it must give written notice to Contractor thirty (30) days in advance of such changes becoming effective. The use of "Leased Employees" or a Professional Employer Organization to administer Workers' Compensation shall expressly constitute a material change.

Subcontractor's failure at any time to have insurance coverage of the types and amounts listed herein is a material breach of contract and a default justifying termination of this Subcontract.

5 Waiver of Subrogation. Subcontractor waives all rights against Contractor, Owner and Architect and their agents, officers, directors and employees for recovery of damages to the extent these damages are covered by Subcontractor's commercial general liability, commercial umbrella liability, business auto liability or Workers' Compensation and employers liability insurance maintained per requirements stated above.

6 It is expressly agreed and understood by and between Subcontractor and Contractor that all insurance, whether issued on a primary or excess basis, afforded the additional insureds shall be primary insurance to any other insurance available to Contractor and that any other insurance carried by Contractor shall be excess of all other insurance carried by the Subcontractor and shall not contribute with the Subcontractor's insurance. Subcontractor further agrees to provide endorsements on its insurance policies that shall state the foregoing; however, Subcontractor's failure to provide such endorsement shall not affect Subcontractor's agreement hereunder.

7 Bonds are required as defined in Exhibit "A" of this Subcontract. If required, bonds must be for the total amount of this Subcontract. We require the bonding company to have an A.M. Best Financial Strength Rating of A- or better, a Financial Size of V or greater, and listed in the Department of the Treasury's Listing of Certified Companies. Bonds will only

City of DeBary 17 of 23 RFP 03-20 be accepted on the forms attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "F". The cost to supply the bonds is included in the Subcontract Amount.

10.2 If the work embraced by this Contract is not completed on or before the date set for completion or any extension thereof, the actual damages for the delay will be impossible to determine and in lieu thereof, the CONTRACTOR shall pay to the CITY fixed, agreed and liquidated damages in the amount of Five- Hundred Dollars ($500) per day for each calendar day of delay until the work is satisfactorily completed, unless the CITY waives such in writing.
