Program along a portion of Dougherty Road (in the vicinity of the Parks Reserve Forces Training
Area) and banner services for that program have been added to the proposed agreement.
On March 30, 2021, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for banner services that consist
of the rotation, storage, and maintenance of approximately 700 banners in the City inventory for a
period of three years.

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

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.

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
