concept design included in Exhibit A.

the attached Exhibit B, Scope of Work.

The Artist shall take such measures as are necessary to protect the Work from loss or damage

Section 6. TIMELY PROVISION OF SERICES; DAMAGES FOR DELAYED PERFORMANCE: The parties
agree that in the performance of the terms and requirements of this Agreement by the Artist that time is of the
essence. Artist shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be
reasonably necessary for satisfactory performance of Artist's obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
6.1 Damages for Delayed Performance. Subject to reasonable proof and documentation confirming

resulting, directly or indirectly, from delays in performance caused by Artist's acts or omissions.
Damages may include, but are not limited to the cost to retrofit the Work installation area should
Artist not meet installation schedule as specified in Exhibit B. The Artist shall not be liable to City
for damages resulting from delays caused by force majeure or by acts or omissions of City,
Architect or the General Contractor; or third party vandalism, except to the extent Artist failed
reasonably to mitigate such damages.
6.2 Illness, Injury, Death or Incapacity. Should Artist die, become ill, injured or otherwise
incapacitated (collectively, “incapacitated”) such that Artist is unable to work for any period not
exceeding 30 days (whether consecutive or non-consecutive), any delay arising out of such
incapacity will be allowed by City whenever it is practicable to do so, considering the facts and
circumstances of the Work, the Project, the Architect, the General Contractor and the Client. City
may require Artist to provide medical certification of any claimed incapacity. In the event Artist is
incapacitated such that Artist is unable to work for a period exceeding a total of 30 days (whether
consecutive or nonconsecutive), City may, at its option, undertake to complete and install the Work
in Artist’s absence, so long as the final Artwork is substantially similar to that designed by Artist. If
City undertakes to complete the Work, City shall give due consideration to Artist’s suggestions, and
Artist may disclaim authorship of the Work. If City exercises its option to implement the Artwork in
Artist’s absence, any compensation paid or payable to Artist shall be reduced by the costs and
expenditures of City in completion and installation of the Work. In case of incapacity exceeding 30
days, the following person shall be Artist’s representative vis -à-vis the City for purposes of this
Section 6 unless otherwise directed in writing by the Artist:

Section 7. APPROVAL AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF ARTWORK. Payment does not imply acceptance of
work. The granting of any payment by City, or the receipt thereof by Artist, shall in no way lessen the liability of Artist
to replace unsatisfactory work, equipment, or materials, although the unsatisfactory character of such work,
equipment or materials may not have been apparent or detected at the time such payment was made. Materials,
equipment, components, or workmanship that does not conform to the requirements of this Agreement may be
rejected by City and in such case must be replaced by Artist without as soon as possible.

7.1 The granting or withholding of any approval by the City shall be determined by the City in its sole
and reasonable discretion. However, the City shall approve all deliverables if they materially
conform to plans or Contract Documents previously approved by the City. If the City withholds

an edition of one, and that neither Artist nor Artist’s agents will execute or authorize another to
execute another work of the same or substantially similar image, design, dimensions and materials
as the Artwork. Artist may create works that utilize or incorporate various individual art elements
that comprise the Artwork, so long as the work utilizing or incorporating such individual elements
(1) does not consist predominantly of such elements, (2) is not the same or substantially similar in
image, design, dimensions and materials as the Artwork, and (3) is not displayed in an
environment that is the same or substantially similar to the environment in which the Artwork is to
be displayed at the site.
8.2 Warranty of Title. Artist represents and warrants that Artist is the sole author of the Artwork and
that Artist is the sole owner of any and all copyrights pertaining to the Artwork. Artist further
represents that the Artwork is free and clear of any liens and that there are no outstanding disputes

any parts of the Artwork.

standards of care, skill, training, diligence, and judgment provided by highly competent
professionals who perform work of a similar nature to the Work described in this Agreement. Artist

that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the removal

creativity of such person or persons is essential to the creation of the Work.
Public Art Agreement between the August 21, 2019
City of Dublin and Tellart Page 6 of 26
8.4 Warranty of Workmanship. The Artist shall guarantee his/her Work to be free from faults of
material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year after installation and final acceptance by the
City. The Artist shall deliver the Work to the City free and clear of any liens from any source
whatsoever. The foregoing guarantees shall apply only to the Work that is entirely that of the Artist
or persons responsible to the Artist, as installed, and shall not apply to materials or workmanship of
projects in which the Work of the Artist is integrated or combined, or to materials purchased,
acquired, or installed by a person or entity not responsible to the Artist.
8.5 Warranty of Public Safety. Artist represents and warrants that the Work will not pose a danger to
public health or safety in view of the possibility of misuse, if such misuse is in a manner that was
reasonably foreseeable at any time during the term of this Agreement.
8.6 Warranty of Acceptable Standard of Display and Operation. Artist represents and warrants
that:
8.6.1 Occasional or minimal cleaning and repair of the Artwork and any associated working
parts and/or equipment will maintain the Work within an acceptable standard of public
display;
8.6.2 Foreseeable exposure to the elements and general wear and tear will cause the Work to
experience only minor repairable damages and will not cause the Work to fall below an
acceptable standard of public display; and
8.6.3 With general routine cleaning and repair, and within the context of foreseeable exposure
to the elements and general wear and tear, the Work will not experience irreparable
conditions that do not fall within an acceptable standard of public display, including mold,
rust, fracturing, staining, chipping, tearing, abrading and peeling.
8.7 Manufacturer’s Warranties. To the extent the Work incorporates products covered by a
manufacturer’s warranty, Artist shall provide copies of such warranties to City.
Section 9. MAINTENANCE OF ARTWORK
9.1 Unless specifically provided in this Agreement, Artist shall not be responsible for ongoing
maintenance of the Artwork.
9.2 Artist shall provide the City with a General Maintenance Plan for the Artwork, with a detailed
description of future anticipated maintenance requirements; a recommended maintenance
schedule; anticipated and required care and/or replacement/upgrade of any part of the Artwork and
associated moving parts or equipment including any staff time involved in displaying or operating
artwork and the frequency of such staff involvement; and written instructions and manufacturer’s
specifications for reasonably foreseeable maintenance and preservation activities relating to the
Artwork.
9.3 The Artwork shall be durable, taking into consideration that the installation site is an unsecured
public space that may be exposed to elements such as weather, temperature variation, and
considerable movement of people and equipment. Artist shall ensure that all maintenance

Public Art Agreement between the August 21, 2019
City of Dublin and Tellart Page 7 of 26
9.4 Although City strives to maintain the Public Art Collection in good repair and condition, City is not
required by this Agreement to maintain the Artwork to any particular standard. City may determine
to allow the Artwork to deteriorate in accordance with the Artwork’s temporary life span, if deemed
appropriate by City or if City lacks sufficient funds for required maintenance and/or conservation. If
the Artwork suffers deterioration, City shall have sole discretion to determine whether to remove
the Artwork from display as a result of deterioration, whether to replace any portion of the Artwork
or translate any component into new media, or whether to maintain the Artwork on display despite
its deteriorated condition.
9.5 The anticipated life span of the Artwork is 25 years from the date of final acceptance by the City.
After that time, the City in its sole discretion may re-evaluate the Artwork to determine if it retains
its identity as a work of art and, if not, whether to take appropriate action, including the possibility of
destroying the Artwork. If the City determines that, through decay, vandalism or other forces, the
Artwork has lost its integrity to the point where it should be destroyed, the City shall first offer the
Artwork to Artist free of charge and in writing.
Section 10. ARTIST’S RIGHTS; CITY’S OWNERSHIP RIGHTS
10.1 The City intends to display the Artwork as originally created by Artist in Exhibit A and to maintain
the Artwork in good condition. Public artworks commissioned by the City are sometimes integrated
into their site, such that they become an integral, permanent and site-specific part of the building’s
architecture or landscaped environment and removal of the artwork would result in significant
changes to the artwork and the building’s architecture. City, however, shall preserve complete
flexibility to operate and manage City property in the public’s interest. Therefore, City retains the
absolute right to alter the Artwork in City’s sole judgment. For example, City may alter the Artwork
to eliminate hazard, to comply with the ADA, to otherwise aid City in the management of its
property and affairs, or through neglect or accident. If, during or after the term of this Agreement,
City finds the Site to be inappropriate, City has the right to install the Artwork at an alternate
location that City chooses in its sole discretion. If the Artwork is free-standing such that it can be
removed without significant damage to the Artwork or the Site, and if the City authorizes the
removal of the Artwork, the City shall take reasonable precautions to minimize alteration of the
Artwork during removal.
10.2 With respect to the Artwork produced under this Agreement, and in consideration of the procedures
and remedies specified in this Agreement, Artist waives any and all claims, arising at any time and
under any circumstances, against City, its officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns,
arising under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act (and 113(d)), the California Art Preservation Act
(Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq.), and any other local, state, federal or international laws that convey
rights of the same nature as those conveyed under 17 U.S.C. §106A, Cal. Civil Code §§987 et
seq., or any other type of moral right protecting the integrity of works of art. If the Artwork is
incorporated into a building such that the Artwork cannot be removed from the building without
alteration of the Artwork, Artist waives any and all such claims against any future owners of the
site, and its agents, officers and employees, for alteration of the Artwork.
10.3 If City intends to take any action with respect to the site or the Artwork that would alter the Artwork,
other than routine cleaning and maintenance, the following procedures shall apply:
Public Art Agreement between the August 21, 2019
City of Dublin and Tellart Page 8 of 26
10.3.1 Notice. Where time permits, City shall make reasonable good faith efforts to notify Artist
at least 20 calendar days prior to authorizing any alteration of the Artwork, at the last
phone number or address provided by Artist to the City’s Contract Administrator. Where
time does not permit prior to alteration of the Artwork – for example, in cases of public
hazard, accident or unauthorized alteration – City shall notify Artist within 30 calendar
days after such alteration.
10.3.2 Consultation. After receiving such notice, Artist shall consult with City to determine
whether the Artwork can be restored or relocated, and to attempt to come to a mutually
agreeable plan for disposition of the Artwork. Such consultation shall be without charge by
Artist unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. If City intends to remove the Artwork,
Artist shall consult regarding methods to minimize or repair any Alteration to the Artwork
caused by such removal and the potential costs of such removal.
10.3.3 Restoration. If the Artwork is altered, with or without prior notice to Artist, and City intends
to maintain the Artwork on display, City shall make a reasonable good faith effort to
engage Artist in the restoration of the Artwork and to compensate Artist for Artist’s t ime
and efforts at fair market value, which may be the subject of a future Agreement between
Artist and City. However, City has no obligation under this Agreement to restore the
Artwork to its original condition, to compensate Artist for any restoration work, or to
maintain the Artwork on display. If Artist fails or refuses to negotiate with City in good faith
with respect to any restoration, City may contract with any other qualified art conservator
or artist for such restoration. During Artist’s lifetime, City shall make best efforts not to
display or de-accession only a portion of the Artwork without Artist’s consent.
10.3.4 Removal by Artist. Where time permits, if City intends to take action that will destroy or
significantly alter the Artwork, such as destruction of all or part of the site, and City
determines that it will not remove the Artwork itself, City shall allow Artist to remove the
Artwork at Artist’s expense within 60 days of notice from the City of the need to remove
the Artwork, in which case title shall revert to Artist. If Artist fails to remove the Artwork
within that 60 day period, City may alter the Artwork in any manner, including destroying
it, in City’s sole discretion.
10.3.5 Remedies. If City breaches any of its obligations under this Section, Artist’s remedies
shall be limited as follows: If City inadvertently fails to provide a required prior notice of
alteration, City will provide notice as soon as it discovers the omission, and before
alteration of the Artwork if that remains possible. If City alters the Artwork without
providing Artist a required prior notice of alteration, Artist shall be given the first right of
refusal to restore the Artwork at the same location and City shall make reasonable efforts
to provide funding for the restoration. If City funds cannot be made available after
reasonable efforts are made to secure such funding, Artist may, but is not obligated to,
restore the Artwork at Artist’s expense. If Artist elects not to restore the Artwork, City may
retain another artist or conservator to restore it, or may Alter the Artwork in any manner, at
City’s sole discretion.
10.4 If City alters the Artwork without Artist’s consent in a manner that is prejudicial to Artist’s reputation,
Artist retains the right to disclaim authorship of the Artwork in accordance with California Civil Code
§987(d) and 17 U.S.C. §106A(a)(2).

City of Dublin and Tellart Page 9 of 26
10.5 Except as provided in this Agreement, with respect to third parties who are not officers, employees,
agents, successors or assigns of City, Artist retains Artist’s moral rights in the Artwork, as
established in the Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§106A and 113(d)), the California Art
Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 and 989), or any other local, state, federal or international
moral rights laws that protect the integrity of works of art. Accordingly, nothing herein shall prevent
Artist from pursuing a claim for alteration of the Artwork against a third party who is not an officer,
employee, agent, successor or assign of City. City has no obligation to pursue claims against third
parties to remedy or prevent alteration of the Artwork. However, as owner of the Artwork, City may
pursue claims against third parties for damages or to restore the Artwork if the Artwork has been
altered without City’s authorization.
Section 11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PUBLICITY RIGHTS
11.1 Copyright. Subject to usage rights and licenses granted to City hereunder, Artist shall retain all 17
U.S.C. §106 copyrights in all original works of authorship produc ed under this Agreement. Artist’s
copyright shall not extend to predominantly utilitarian aspects of the Work, such as landscaping
elements, furnishings, or other similar objects. If Artist is comprised of two or more individual
persons, the individual persons shall be deemed joint authors of the Work.
11.2 City’s Intellectual Property License. Artist grants to City, and to City’s agents, authorized
contractors and assigns, an unlimited, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to do the following

Agreement, whether in whole or in part, in all media (including electronic and digital) throughout the
universe:
11.2.1 Implementation, Use and Display. City may use and display the Work (to the extent the

City may implement such elements at the site.
11.2.2 Reproduction and Distribution. City may make and distribute, and authorize the
making, display and distribution of, photographs and other 2-dimensional reproductions.
City may use such reproductions for any City-related purpose, including advertising,
educational and promotional materials, brochures, books, flyers, postcards, print,
broadcast, film, electronic and multimedia publicity, gifts for City benefactors,
documentation of City’s Public Art Collection, and catalogues or similar publications. City
shall ensure that such reproductions are made in a professional and tasteful manner, in
the sole and reasonable judgment of the City. The proceeds from the sale of any such
reproductions shall be used to maintain and support City’s Public Art Collection or for any
other public purposes that City deems appropriate. The license granted hereunder
includes the right to create 2-dimensional reproductions on items such as tote-bags, T-
shirts, coffee mugs and similar merchandise. Nothing hereunder shall be construed to
constrain Artist from creating posters, note cards, or other reproductions of the Artwork
with appropriate credit to the City.
11.2.3 Public Records Requests. Any documents provided by Artist to City are public records
and City may authorize third parties to review and reproduce such documents pursuant to

13.4 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Artist fails to provide or maintain
any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required,
City may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies, which are alternatives to other

▪ Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance
from any sums due under the Agreement;
▪ Order Artist to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes due to
Artist hereunder, or both stop work and withhold any payment, until Artist demonstrates

Section 14. INDEMNIFICATION AND ARTIST’S RESPONSIBILITIES. Artist shall indemnify, defend with
counsel mutually selected by the City and Artist, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees,
agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of
action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any
federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or
negligent acts or omissions of Artist or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which the y could be held
strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Artist shall not apply when (1)
the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct
of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Artist or its employees,
subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law.
It is understood that the duty of Artist to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in
Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required
under this Agreement does not relieve Artist from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This
indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such
insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Artist acknowledges and
agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be
eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Artist shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the
payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Artist or its employees,
agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which
would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
Section 15. STATUS OF ARTIST AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
15.1 Independent Contractor. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Artist shall be an
independent contractor and shall not be an employee of City. City shall have the right to control
Artist only insofar as the results of Artist's services rendered pursuant to this Agreement and
assignment of personnel pursuant to Subparagraph 1.3; however, otherwise City shall not have the
right to control the means by which Artist accomplishes services rendered pursuant to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding any other City, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or
ordinance to the contrary, Artist and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing
services under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to
waive any and all claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City,
including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in the California Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS) as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer
contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.
