failure in performance resulting from acts of God, acts of war or of the public enemy, riots, pandemic, fire,

prevented or delayed due to a force majeure event shall not result in liability to the delayed party. Both
parties represent to the other that at the time of signing this Agreement, they are able to perform as
required and their performance will not be prevented, hindered, or delayed by the current COVID-19
pandemic, any existing state or national declarations of emergency, or any current social distancing
restrictions or personal protective equipment requirements that may be required under federal, state, or
local law in response to the current pandemic.
If any future performance is prevented or delayed by a force majeure event, the party whose
performance is prevented or delayed shall promptly notify the other party of the existence and nature of
the force majeure event causing the prevention or delay in performance. Any excuse from liability shall be
effective only to the extent and duration of the force majeure event causing the prevention or delay in
performance and, provided, that the party prevented or delayed has not caused such event to occur and
continues to use diligent, good faith efforts to avoid the effects of such event and to perform the
obligation.
CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT - 3
($20,000 or Less)
Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the Consultant shall not be entitled to, and the
City shall not be liable for, the payment of any part of the contract price during a force majeure event, or
any costs, losses, expenses, damages, or delay costs incurred by the Consultant due to a force majeure
event. Performance that is more costly due to a force majeure event is not included within the scope of
this Force Majeure provision.
If a force majeure event occurs, the City may direct the Consultant to restart any work or
performance that may have ceased, to change the work, or to take other action to secure the work or the
project site during the force majeure event. The cost to restart, change, or secure the work or project site
arising from a direction by the City under this clause will be dealt with as a change order, except to the
extent that the loss or damage has been caused or exacerbated by the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly contemplated by this section, all other costs will be
borne by the Consultant.
VII. DISCRIMINATION. In the hiring of employees for the performance of work under this
Agreement or any subcontract, the Consultant, its subcontractors, or any person acting on behalf of the

losses or suits, including all legal costs and attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with the
Consultant's performance of this Agreement, except for that portion of the injuries and damages caused
by the City's negligence.
The City's inspection or acceptance of any of the Consultant's work when completed shall not be
grounds to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damages to
property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Consultant and the City, its officers,
officials, employees, agents and volunteers, the Consultant's duty to defend, indemnify, and hold the City
harmless, and the Consultant’s liability accruing from that obligation shall be only to the extent of the
Consultant's negligence.
IT IS FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION
PROVIDED HEREIN CONSTITUTES THE CONSULTANT'S WAIVER OF IMMUNITY UNDER INDUSTRIAL
INSURANCE, TITLE 51 RCW, SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS INDEMNIFICATION. THE PARTIES
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE MUTUALLY NEGOTIATED THIS WAIVER.
In the event the Consultant refuses tender of defense in any suit or any claim, if that tender was
made pursuant to this indemnification clause, and if that refusal is subsequently determined by a court
having jurisdiction (or other agreed tribunal) to have been a wrongful refusal on the Consultant’s part,

(6) When You
Additional
lnsurance
Are Added As An
lnsured To Other
That is other insurance available to
you covering liability for damages
arising out of the premises or
operations, or products and completed
operations, for which you have been
added as an additional insured by that
insurance; or
(71 When You Add Others As AnAdditional lnsured To This
lnsurance
That is other insurance available to an
additional insured.
However, the following provisions
apply to other insurance available to
any person or organization who is an
additional insured under this Coverage
Part:
(a) Primary lnsurance When
Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you
have agreed in a written contract,
written agreement or permit that
this insurance be primary. lf other
insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance
by the method described in c.
below.
(b) Primary And Non€ontributoryTo Other lnsurance When
Required By Contract
lf you have agreed in a written
contraci, written agreement or
permit that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory withthe additional insured's own
insurance, this insurance is
primary and we will not seek
contribution fom that other
insurance.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to
other insurance to which the additional
insured has been added as an
additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under this Coverage Part to
defend the insured against any 'suit" if any
other insurer has a duty to defend the
insured against that 'suit". lf no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do
so, but we will be entitled to the insured's
rights against all those other insurers.
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
\Mren this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that
exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(21 The total of all deductible and self-
insured amounts under all that other
insurance.

any other insurance that is not described in
this Excess lnsuranec provision and was not
bought specifically to apply in excess of the
Limits of lnsurance shown in the
Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method of sharing
lf all the other insurance permits
contribution by equal shares, we will follow
this method also. Under this approach,
each insurer contributes equal amounts
until it has paid its applicable limit of
insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
lf any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will
contribute by limits. Underthis method, each
insurefs share is based on the ratio of its
applicable limit of insurance to the total
applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against
Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
lf the insured has r(lhts to recover all orpart of any payment, including
Supplementary Payments, we have made
under this Coverage Part, those rphts are
transfened to us. The insured must do
nothing after loss to impair them. At our
request, the insured will bring "suit" or
transfer those rights to us and help us
enforce them. This condition does not
apply to Medical Expenses Coverage.
b. Waiver Of Rights:Of Recovery (Waiver
Of Subrogation|
lf the insured has waived any rights of
recovery against any peron or
organization for all or part of any payment,
including Supplementary Payments, we
have made under this Coverage Part, we
also waive that right, provided the insured
waived their rights of recovery against
such person or organization in a contract,
agreement or permit that was executed
prior to the injury or damage.
