charge for the type of service provided.

City has relied upon the professional ability and training of Contractor as a material inducement to
enter into this Agreement. Contractor represents that all of its work will be performed in accordance
with generally accepted professional practices and standards as well as the requirements of applicable
federal, state, and local laws, it being understood that acceptance of a Contractor's work by City will
not operate as a waiver or release.
Contractor agrees to indemnify and defend the City,its officers,employees,agents,and representatives
and hold them harmless from any and all liability,causes of action,claims,losses,damages,judgments,
or other costs or expenses, including attorney's fees and witness costs (at both trial and appeal level,
whether or not a trial or appeal ever takes place including any hearing before federal or state
administrative agencies), that may be asserted by any person or entity which in any way arise from,
during, or in connection with the performance of the work described in this contract, except liability
arising out of the sole negligence of the City and its employees. Such indemnification will also cover
claims brought against the City under state or federal worker's compensation laws. If any aspect of
this indemnity is found to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity
does not affect the validity of the remainder of this indemnification.

SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
INTRODUCTION
The Backyard Habitat Certification Program (BHCP)provides technical assistance,incentives, resources, and
recognition to private property owners to restore native wildlife habitat, control noxious weeds, reduce
pesticides, and manage stormwater at home. The program is designed to increase effective management of
privately-held lands by partnering with communities and by leveraging the time, labor and skills of nearly 90
volunteers and 6,800 program participants. Together we accomplish crucial ecological outcomes, while
fostering lasting behavior change and an ethic of stewardship.
As development and the population in the metropolitan area grows at an unprecedented rate — from 2.1
million people today to 3.2 million people in 2030—it is a priority to enlist the help of city residents in efforts
to combat environmental burdens. The BHCP directly responds to this call to action by engaging urban and
sub-urban residents as partners in conservation. The objectives of the program are to increase the public's
awareness of the benefit of conservation in the metropolitan area and to incentivize continual, measurable
on-the-ground habitat enhancements in five key areas; 1) remove noxious species, 2) enhance native
vegetation in their yards, 3) reduce pesticides, 4) steward wildlife and 5) improve stormwater management.
Through these activities, participants gain an understanding that their backyards play a role in supporting
broader conservation efforts and are part of a landscape-wide eco-system of solutions.
The BHCP fosters community stewardship of urban neighborhoods by giving participants the tools and
incentives to become urban conservationists and work to create and preserve critical wildlife habitat on their
property. In this way, the program increases the permeability of the developed landscape, the top strategic
action from the developed lands section of the Regional Conservation Strategy (RCS). From the KCS: `Developed
areas have a vital role to play in preserving regional biodiversity andproleding environmental health. Whenectively managed,
developed areas increase urban landscape's overall permeability for wildlife, enhance the function of natural areas and biodiversity
cortidors, and engage the public in wildlife stewardsh p."
To date, the BHCP partners with more than 6,800 residents, whose yards span more than 1,600 urban and
sub-urban acres, and has experienced significant growth over the past year. Portland Audubon and Columbia
Land Trust have mindfully planned program growth and implementation, and had the capacity to do so by
leveraging collective strengths like membership bases, internal outreach mechanisms, and staff expertise.
Throughout the program's history, both organizations have prioritized engaging all residents, regardless of
socioeconomic standing,in the program
