3. Compensation
A. The maximum that Contractor may be paid per Task Order hereafter the"not to exceed"amount
of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00). The "not to exceed"
amount includes all payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, including reimbursable
expenses,if any. Nothing in this Agreement requires the City to pay for work that does not meet
the standard of care that would ordinarily be used by similar professionals in this community in
similar circumstances or other requirements of the Agreement. The actual amount to be paid to
Contractor may be less than the "not to exceed" amount. The actual amount to be paid to
Contractor may be less than that amount.
B. Compensation for professional services as described in Exhibit A will be paid on an hourly rate
based upon the Schedule of Rates in Exhibit B of this Agreement,which will constitute full and
complete payment for said services and all expenditures which may be made and expenses
incurred, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Standard reimbursable costs
will be reimbursed without mark-up.
C. Annual adjustment of hourly rates will be considered upon written request from Contractor.
Approval of a request for rate increases is solely within the City's discretion and under no
circumstances is the City obligated to approve such a request. Rate increases are subject to the
following limitations:
• No increases will be granted before the one-year anniversary of the Agreement;
• No more than one increase will be granted annually;
• Rate increases may not exceed the then current average inflation rate for the Portland
Metropolitan Area (as determined from the US Department of Labor statistics);
• Rate increases cannot be retroactive.
D. Contractor is entitled to receive progress payments for its work pursuant to any issued Task Order.
The City will pay Contractor based on these invoices for acceptable work performed and approved
until the "not to exceed" amount is reached. Thereafter, Contractor must complete work based
on the Agreement without additional compensation unless there is a change to the scope of work.
E. Any estimate of the hours necessary to perform the work is not binding on the City. Contractor
remains responsible if the estimate proves to be incorrect. Exceeding the number of estimated
hours of work does not impose any liability on the City for additional payment.
F. Payment will be made upon receipt of billings based on the work completed. Contractor will
submit billings to City periodically, but not more frequently than monthly. Payment by the City
releases the City from any further obligation for payment to Contractor for service or services
performed or expenses incurred as of the date of the statement of services. Payment will be made
only for work actually completed as of the date of invoice. Payment will not be considered
acceptance or approval of any work or waiver of any defects therein.
G. Contractor must furnish certified cost records for all billings to substantiate all charges.
Contractor's accounts are subject to audit by the City. Contractor will submit billings in a form
satisfactory to the City. At a minimum,each billing will identify the Task Order under which such
work is performed, work completed during the billing period, percentage of work completed to
date, and percentage of budget used to date for each task. Billings must also include Contractor's
employer identification number or social security number, as the City deems applicable.

party has consented. If City agrees to assignment of tasks to a subcontract, Contractor is fully
responsible for the acts or omissions of any subcontractors and of all persons employed by them.

successors and assigns.

Contractor certifies that:
A. Contractor acknowledges that for all purposes related to this Agreement, Contractor is an
independent contractor as defined by ORS 670.600 and not an employee of City. Contractor is
not entitled to benefits of any kind to which an employee of City is entitled and is solely
responsible for all payments and taxes required by law. Furthermore,in the event that Contractor
is found by a court of law or any administrative agency to be an employee of City for any purpose,
City is entitled to offset compensation due, or to demand repayment of any amounts paid to
Contractor under the terms of this Agreement, to the full extent of any benefits or other
remuneration Contractor receives (from City or third party) as a result of said finding and to the
full extent of any payments that City is required to make (to Contractor or to a third party) as a
result of said finding.
B. Contractor is not an officer,employee,or agent of the City as those terms are used in ORS 30.265.

corporation in which a City employee has an interest, has or will receive any remuneration of any
description from Contractor,either directly or indirectly,in connection with the letting or performance
of this Agreement, except as specifically declared in writing.

employed by the Federal Government and the amount charged does not exceed his or her normal
charge for the type of service provided.
8. Indemnification

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. Acceptance of documents by

4 1 P a g e
B. Claims for other than Professional Liability. Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend, save, and
hold harmless the City of Tigard, its officers, employees, agents, and representatives from all
claims, suits, or actions and all expenses incidental to the investigation and defense thereof, of
whatsoever nature, including intentional acts resulting from or arising out of the activities of
Contractor or its subcontractors, sub-consultants, agents or employees in performance of this
contract 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. 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.
C. Claims for Professional Liability. Contractor agrees to indemnify,defend,save,and hold harmless
the City of Tigard, its officers, employees, agents, and representatives from all claims, suits, or
actions and all expenses incidental to the investigation and defense thereof, arising out of the
professional negligent acts, errors or omissions of Contractor or its subcontractors, sub-
consultants, agents or employees in performance of professional services under this agreement.

usable by individuals with disabilities will be considered a professionally negligent act, error, or
omission.
D. As used in subsections B and C of this section, a claim for professional liability is a claim made
against the City in which the City's alleged liability results directly or indirectly,in whole or in part,
from the quality of the professional services provided by Contractor, regardless of the type of
claim made against the City in performance of this Agreement. A claim for other than professional
liability is a claim made against the City in which the City's alleged liability results from an act or
omission by Contractor unrelated to the quality of professional services provided by Contractor
in performance of this Agreement.
