magazine, trade paper, newspaper, television or radio production or other similar medium without
the prior written consent of City.
7.Consultant’s Books and Records.
a.Consultant shall maintain any and all ledgers, books of account, invoices,
vouchers, canceled checks, and other records or documents evidencing or relating to charges for
services, or expenditures and disbursements charged to City for a minimum period of three (3)
years, or for any longer period required by law, from the date of final payment to Consultant to
this Agreement.
b.Consultant shall maintain all documents and records which demonstrate
performance under this Agreement for a minimum period of three (3) years, or for any longer
period required by law, from the date of termination or completion of this Agreement.
c.Any records or documents required to be maintained pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made available for inspection or audit, at any time during regular business
hours, upon written request by the City Manager, City Attorney, City Auditor or a designated
representative of these officers. Copies of such documents shall be provided to the City for
inspection at City Hall when it is practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually
agreed upon, the records shall be available at Consultant’s address indicated for receipt of notices
in this Agreement.
d.Where City has reason to believe that such records or documents may be
lost or discarded due to dissolution, disbandment or termination of Consultant’s business, City
Page 4
may, by written request by any of the above-named officers, require that custody of the records
be given to the City and that the records and documents be maintained in City Hall. Access to
such records and documents shall be granted to any party authorized by Consultant, Consultant’s
representatives, or Consultant’s successor-in-interest.
8.Independent Consultant. It is understood that Consultant, in the performance of
the work and services agreed to be performed, shall act as and be an independent Consultant
and shall not act as an agent or employee of the City.
9.PERS Eligibility Indemnification. In the event that Consultant or any employee,
agent, or subcontractors of Consultant providing services under this Agreement claims or 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 the City, Consultant shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer
contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant 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.
Notwithstanding any other federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and
regulations to the contrary, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors
providing service under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby
agree to waive any claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City,
including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to
any contribution to be paid by City for employer contribution and/or employee contributions for
PERS benefits.
10.Interests of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and
professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or
interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered
by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which
would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant’s services
hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties
hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.
Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act
because Consultant:
a.will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her
rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and
direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and
b.possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition
of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)
11.Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training
and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into
this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical
personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under
this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the
standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant’s field of
expertise.
Page 5
12.Compliance with Laws. Consultant shall use the standard of care in its profession
to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.
13.Licenses. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses,
permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required
of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant represents and warrants to City that
Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term
of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of
Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business
license.
14.Indemnity. Consultant shall indemnify, defend, 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 Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they
could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation
of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of
law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees,
agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, 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 Consultant 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 Consultant 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, Consultant
acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of
consideration.
15.Insurance Requirements.
a.Insurance. Consultant, at Consultant’s own cost and expense, shall
procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, unless modified by the City’s Risk Manager,

for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all

to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its
officers, agents, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by
Consultant for City. In the event that Consultant is exempt from Worker’s Compensation

agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insured with respect to liability
arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the Consultant, including materials, parts
or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.
ii.This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the
