complete the work described in Exhibit A on or before that date, unless the term of the
Agreement is otherwise terminated or extended, as provided for in Section 8. The time
provided to Consultant to complete the services required by this Agreement shall not affect
the City's right to terminate the Agreement, as referenced in Section 8. Notwithstanding
the foregoing this Agreement may be extended on a month to month basis for up to 6
months upon the written consent of the Consultant and the City Manager, provided that: a)
sufficient funds have been appropriated for such purchase, b) the price charged by the
Consultant for the provision of the serves described in Exhibit A does not increase. None

complete the work described in Exhibit A on or before that date, unless the term of the
Agreement is otherwise terminated or extended, as provided for in Section 8. The time
provided to Consultant to complete the services required by this Agreement shall not affect
the City's right to terminate the Agreement, as referenced in Section 8. Notwithstanding
the foregoing this Agreement may be extended on a month to month basis for up to 6
months upon the written consent of the Consultant and the City Manager, provided that: a)
sufficient funds have been appropriated for such purchase, b) the price charged by the
Consultant for the provision of the serves described in Exhibit A does not increase. None
of the foregoing shall affect the City's right to terminate the Agreement as provided for in
Section 8.

months upon the written consent of the Consultant and the City Manager, provided that: a)
sufficient funds have been appropriated for such purchase, b) the price charged by the

and costs (including without limitation, attorney's fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively,
"Liability") of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor's performance of the Services or
its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by
the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.
The Contractor's obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Contractor's
inability to evaluate Liability or because the Contractor evaluates Liability and determines that the
Contractor is not liable to the claimant. The Contractor must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any
claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the
Contractor fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any
other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of this
Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until
disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Contractor accepts or rejects the
tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a "construction contract" as defined by
California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Contractor to
indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services
under this Agreement is 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, Contractor shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions
for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor 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.

6.1 Independent Contractor. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall
be an independent contractor and shall not be an employee of City. This Agreement shall
not be construed as an agreement for employment. City shall have the right to control

Services Agreement between July 1, 2020
City of Dublin and Contract Sweeping Services Exhibit A — Page 3 of 5
Quality of Sweeping: The street sweeper shall leave designated areas of sweeping free of all dirt, litter,
debris, and visual dust.
The Contractor's street sweeper shall leave designated areas free of all dirt, litter, debris, and visual dust
within the control of a fully operational machine. Due to various street widths and configurations throughout
the City, street sweeping may require slower travel speed and/or multiple passes by the sweeper in many
cases, to ensure curb -to -curb coverage of the street. Streets with raised medians (commercial and
residential) shall have the curb -gutter perimeters of each raised median swept, including turnouts. Street -
grade striped medians shall be swept in their entirety. All deposits within intersections shall be removed as
part of the sweeping operations, resulting in minimal debris residual or tailings left on the swept surface
following the completion of a pass(es) of the street sweeping machine. No sweeper shall blow debris onto
private property or sidewalks.
Due to various street configurations and densities of the urban forest throughout the City, when necessary
for proper cleaning, the Contractor shall make more than one pass on a street without extra charge.
Payment will be made for the initial length of curb swept, not the number of passes needed to leave
designated areas free of all dirt, litter, debris, and visual dust within the control of a fully operational
machine.
Re -Sweeps — Those sweeps required of Contractor when previous sweeps have been deemed by City to
be of poor quality, or when a street or sections of a street have been missed by Contractor during regularly
scheduled street sweeping. Re -sweeps are completed at the expense of Contractor and shall be completed
within 24-hours of notice, weather permitting. (from San Mateo County contract).
The Contractor shall immediately respond when notified by the City to re- sweep unsatisfactory areas at no
additional charge. In areas with offset angles, extruded curbs, parking blocks or any areas where street
sweeping equipment has difficulty in maneuvering, the Contractor shall use whatever legal means
necessary to maintain the cleanliness of these areas. These areas are subject to all the terms and
conditions listed in this contract.
Disposal of Sweepings: Contractor shall dispose of all refuse collected by hauling same to legally
established refuse disposal sites or other site approved by the Public Works Superintendent, or their
designee. Refuse shall not be stored on the street but shall be loaded into trucks or in appropriately placed
containers, which shall be approved by the Public Works Superintendent, or their designee. If containers
are used, they shall be dumped upon completion of the sweeping cycle. Any residual liquid waste shall be
disposed of properly (e.g., not in the storm drain system).
Water: Contractor shall provide, at their own expense, sufficient water for the street sweeping equipment
necessary to comply with this Agreement and to assure that the curb and gutter are left in a clean condition
and the amount of dust during sweeping is kept to a minimum. Water meters shall be obtained from the
Dublin San Ramon Services District. The cost of water shall be paid by Contractor and included in the unit
costs for various sweeping services. Contractor shall report gallons of water used per route as part of the
monthly invoice reporting. Contractor shall, at no time, complete routes without refill of water reservoir.

and costs (including without limitation, attorney's fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively,
"Liability") of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor's performance of the Services or
its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by
the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.
The Contractor's obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Contractor's
inability to evaluate Liability or because the Contractor evaluates Liability and determines that the
Contractor is not liable to the claimant. The Contractor must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any
claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the
Contractor fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any
other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of this
Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until
disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Contractor accepts or rejects the
tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a "construction contract" as defined by
California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Contractor to
indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
