officials, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all losses,

behalf of Consultant in the performance of this agreement. In the event consultant fails to
obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be fully
responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with
these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a
waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here
is binding on the successor, assigns or heirs of Consultant and shall survive the termination of
this agreement or this section.
D. INDEMNITY PROVISIONS FOR CONTACTS RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION.
Without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this agreement, Consultant shall not
be required to indemnify and hold harmless City of liability attributable to the active negligence

the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have
been actively negligent and where City's active negligence accounts for only a percentage of
the liability involved, the obligation of consultant will be for that entire portion or percentage of
liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

CONTRACTOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF LABOR CODE REQUIREMENTS
Contractor acknowledges that under California Labor Code sections 1810 and following, 8 hours of labor
constitutes a legal day's work. Contractor will forfeit as a penalty to City the sum of $25.00 for each

and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Labor Code section 1810. (Labor
Code§ 1813.)
Attention is given to the fact that both Federal (Davis-Bacon) and State of California prevailing wage rate
requirements apply to this project. Not less than the greater of the Federal Davis-Bacon wage rates or the
general prevailing wage rate of per diem wages and the Federal prevailing rates for holiday and overtime
must be paid on this project. State of California prevailing wage rates are available online at
www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/r)wd/southern.html.
Contractor shall post at the work site, or if there is no regular work site then at its principal office, for the
duration of the Contract, a copy of the determination by the Director of the Department of Industrial
Relations of the specified prevailing rate of per diem wages. (Labor Code§ 1773.2.)
Contractor, and any subcontractor engaged by Contractor, shall pay not less than the specified prevailing
rate of per diem wages to all workers employed in the execution of the contract. (labor code § 1774.)
Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code section 1776 relative to the retention and

than the prevailing rates. Contractor may also be liable to pay the difference between the prevailing wage
rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each
worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate.
Nothing in this Contract prevents Contractor or any subcontractor from employing properly registered
apprentices in the execution of the contract. Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code
section 1777.5 for all apprenticeable occupations. This statute requires that contractors and
subcontractors must submit contract award information to the applicable joint apprenticeship committee,

apprentice's work for every five hours of labor performed by a journeyman (unless an exception is
granted under§ 1777.5), must contribute to the fund or funds in each craft or trade or a like amount to the
California Apprenticeship Council, and that contractors and subcontractors must not discriminate among
otherwise qualified employees as apprentices solely on the ground of sex, race, religion, creed, national

F. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of
the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing,
and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF,the DBE must also be responsible with
respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality
and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material
itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the amount of work
subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the, contract is
commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
G. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a
transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance
of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine
similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.

contract with its own work force,or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the contract
than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be
presumed that it is not performing a CUF.

entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each
DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor,regardless of tier.

Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments
with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice
being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to
CONSULTANT when a satisfactory"Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises (DBE),First-Tier Subconsultants" is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
