timely manner to allow Vendor to provide a timely invoice.
The maintenance service fees due under the Agreement shall remain fixed during the term

GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 2
(Over $20,000, including WSST)
C. The Vendor has an established and independent business that is eligible for a
business deduction for federal income tax purposes that existed before the City
retained the Vendor's services, or the Vendor is engaged in an independently
established trade, occupation, profession, or business of the same nature as that
involved under this Agreement.

with appropriate federal and state agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service
and the state Department of Revenue.

business, and has obtained a Unified Business Identifier (UBI) number from the
State of Washington.
F. The Vendor maintains a set of books dedicated to the expenses and earnings of its
business.
V. TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, upon
providing the other party thirty (30) days written notice at its address set forth on the signature block of
this Agreement.
VI. CHANGES. The City may issue a written amendment for any change in the goods, materials
or services to be provided during the performance of this Agreement. If the Vendor determines, for any
reason, that an amendment is necessary, the Vendor must submit a written amendment request to the
person listed in the notice provision section of this Agreement, Section XV(D), within fourteen (14)
calendar days of the date the Vendor knew or should have known of the facts and events giving rise to the
requested change. If the City determines that the change increases or decreases the Vendor's costs or
time for performance, the City will make an equitable adjustment. The City will attempt, in good faith, to
reach agreement with the Vendor on all equitable adjustments. However, if the parties are unable to
agree, the City will determine the equitable adjustment as it deems appropriate. The Vendor shall
proceed with the amended work upon receiving either a written amendment from the City or an oral order
from the City before actually receiving the written amendment. If the Vendor fails to require an
amendment within the time allowed, the Vendor waives its right to make any claim or submit subsequent
amendment requests for that portion of the contract work. If the Vendor disagrees with the equitable
adjustment, the Vendor must complete the amended work; however, the Vendor may elect to protest the
adjustment as provided in subsections A through E of Section VIII, Claims, below.
The Vendor accepts all requirements of an amendment by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a separate
acceptance, or (3) not protesting in the way this section provides. An amendment that is accepted by the

contract time and for direct, indirect and consequential costs, including costs of delays related to any
work, either covered or affected by the change.

failure in performance resulting from acts of God, acts of war or of the public enemy, riots, pandemic, fire,
flood, or other natural disaster or acts of government ("force majeure event"). Performance that is
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
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 3

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.
Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the Vendor 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 Vendor 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 Vendor 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 Vendor to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly contemplated by this section, all other costs will be
borne by the Vendor.
VIII. CLAIMS. If the Vendor disagrees with anything required by an amendment, another
written order, or an oral order from the City, including any direction, instruction, interpretation, or
determination by the City, the Vendor may file a claim as provided in this section. The Vendor shall give
written notice to the City of all claims within fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the events
giving rise to the claims, or within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date the Vendor knew or should
have known of the facts or events giving rise to the claim, whichever occurs first . Any claim for
damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time, whether under this Agreement or
otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived by the Vendor unless a timely written claim
is made in strict accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
At a minimum, a Vendor's written claim shall include the information set forth in subsections A,
items 1 through 5 below.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM WITHIN

result of the asserted events giving rise to the claim. The City shall have access to any of
the Vendor's records needed for evaluating the protest.

City determines that a claim is valid, the City will adjust payment for work or time by an
equitable adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.

promptly to provide the goods, materials and services required by the City under this
Agreement.

(including directions, instructions, interpretations, and determination).

section, the Vendor completely waives any claims for protested work and accepts from the
