AGREEMENT
I. DESCRIPTION OF WORK.
The Vendor shall provide the following goods and materials and/or perform the following services for

featuring distinguished leaders who contribute expert knowledge and diverse perspectives to
the collective discission of concepts such as race, equity, diversity, and inclusion. The

The presentation will be about forty-five minutes long with thirty minutes of Q&A for each
presentation for a total of 90 minutes.
Travel will be paid by the city which includes airfare, lodging and transportation, in a maximum
amount of $2,000. Lodging for two nights will be provided at Comfort Inn Located on 84th ST

complete the work and provide all goods, materials, and services by 4/28/2023.
III. COMPENSATION. The City shall pay the Vendor an amount not to exceed seven thousand

The City shall pay the Vendor the following amounts according to the following schedule:
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 1
($20,000 or Less, inci. WSST)
Vendor will submit a vendor form and will be paid due upon receipt of invoice.
Card Payment Program. The Vendor may elect to participate in automated credit card payments
provided for by the City and its financial institution. This Program is provided as an alternative to payment
by check and is available for the convenience of the Vendor. If the Vendor voluntarily participates in this
Program, the Vendor will be solely responsible for any fees imposed by financial institutions or credit card
companies. The Vendor shall not charge those fees back to the City.
If the City objects to all or any portion of an invoice, it shall notify the Vendor and reserves the option
to only pay that portion of the invoice not in dispute. In that event, the parties will immediately make every
effort to settle the disputed portion.
A. Defective or Unauthorized Work. The City reserves its right to withhold payment from the
Vendor for any defective or unauthorized goods, materials or services. If the Vendor is
unable, for any reason, to complete any part of this Agreement, the City may obtain the
goods, materials or services from other sources, and the Vendor shall be liable to the City for
any additional costs incurred by the City. "Additional costs" shall mean all reasonable costs,
including legal costs and attorney fees, incurred by the City beyond the maximum Agreement
price specified above. The City further reserves its right to deduct these additional costs
incurred to complete this Agreement with other sources, from any and all amounts due or to
become due the Vendor.
B. Final Payment: Waiver of Claims. VENDOR'S ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT SHALL
CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF CLAIMS, EXCEPT THOSE PREVIOUSLY AND PROPERLY MADE AND
IDENTIFIED BY VENDOR AS UNSETTLED AT THE TIME REQUEST FOR FINAL PAYMENT IS
MADE.
IV. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The parties intend that an Independent Contractor-
Employer Relationship will be created by this Agreement. By their execution of this Agreement, and in
accordance with Ch. 51.08 RCW, the parties make the following representations:
A. The Vendor has the ability to control and direct the performance and details of its
work, the City being interested only in the results obtained under this Agreement.
B. The Vendor maintains and pays for its own place of business from which the Vendor's
services under this Agreement will be performed.
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.
D. The Vendor is responsible for filing as they become due all necessary tax documents
with appropriate federal and state agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service
and the state Department of Revenue.
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 2
($20,000 or Less, including WSST)
E. The Vendor has registered its business and established an account with the state
Department of Revenue and other state agencies as may be required by the Vendor's
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
Vendor as provided in this section shall constitute full payment and final settlement of all claims for contract
time and for direct, indirect and consequential costs, including costs of delays related to any work, either
covered or affected by the change.
VII. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be liable to the other for breach due to delay or 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
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.
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 3
($20,000 or Less, including WSST)
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
THE TIME ALLOWED SHALL BE AN ABSOLUTE WAIVER OF ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN
ANY WAY FROM THE FACTS OR EVENTS SURROUNDING THAT CLAIM OR CAUSED BY
THAT DELAY.
A. Notice of Claim. Provide a signed written notice of claim that provides the following
information:
1. The date of the Vendor's claim;
2. The nature and circumstances that caused the claim;
3. The provisions in this Agreement that support the claim;
4. The estimated dollar cost, if any, of the claimed work and how that estimate
was determined; and
5. An analysis of the progress schedule showing the schedule change or disruption
if the Vendor is asserting a schedule change or disruption.
B. Records. The Vendor shall keep complete records of extra costs and time incurred as a 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.
The City will evaluate all claims, provided the procedures in this section are followed. If the
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.
C. Vendor's Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any claim, the Vendor shall proceed
promptly to provide the goods, materials and services required by the City under this
Agreement.
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section provides, the Vendor
also waives any additional entitlement and accepts from the City any written or oral order
(including directions, instructions, interpretations, and determination).
E. Failure to Follow Procedures Constitutes Waiver. By failing to follow the procedures of this
section, the Vendor completely waives any claims for protested work and accepts from the
City any written or oral order (including directions, instructions, interpretations, and
determination).
GOODS & SERVICES AGREEMENT - 4
($20,000 or Less, including WSST)
IX. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. VENDOR MUST, IN ANY EVENT, FILE ANY LAWSUIT ARISING
FROM OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN 120 CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE THE
CONTRACT WORK IS COMPLETE OR VENDOR'S ABILITY TO FILE THAT SUIT SHALL BE FOREVER BARRED.
THIS SECTION FURTHER LIMITS ANY APPLICABLE STATUTORY LIMITATIONS PERIOD.
X. WARRANTY. The Vendor warrants that it will faithfully and satisfactorily perform all work
provided under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition to any
other warranty provided for at law or herein, this Agreement is additionally subject to all warranty provisions
established under the Uniform Commercial Code, Title 62A, Revised Code of Washington. The Vendor
warrants goods are merchantable, are fit for the particular purpose for which they were obtained, and will
perform in accordance with their specifications and the Vendor's representations to City. The Vendor shall
promptly correct all defects in workmanship and materials: (1) when the Vendor knows or should have
known of the defect, or (2) upon the Vendor's receipt of notification from the City of the existence or
discovery of the defect. In the event any part of the goods are repaired, only original replacement parts
shall be used—rebuilt or used parts will not be acceptable. When defects are corrected, the warranty for
that portion of the work shall extend for an additional year beyond the original warranty period applicable
to the overall work. The Vendor shall begin to correct any defects within seven (7) calendar days of its
receipt of notice from the City of the defect. If the Vendor does not accomplish the corrections within a
reasonable time as determined by the City, the City may complete the corrections and the Vendor shall pay
all costs incurred by the City in order to accomplish the correction.
XI. DISCRIMINATION. In the hiring of employees for the performance of work under this
Agreement or any sub-contract, the Vendor, its sub-contractors, or any person acting on behalf of the
Vendor or sub-contractor shall not, by reason of race, religion, color, sex, age, sexual orientation, national
origin, or the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability, discriminate against any person who
is qualified and available to perform the work to which the employment relates. The Vendor shall execute
the attached City of Kent Non-Discrimination Policy Declaration and comply with City Administrative
Policy 1.2.
XII. INDEMNIFICATION. The Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officers,
officials, employees, agents and volunteers harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses or
suits, including all legal costs and attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with the Vendor'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 Vendor's work when completed shall not be grounds
to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
IT IS FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION
PROVIDED HEREIN CONSTITUTES THE VENDOR'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 Vendor 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 Vendor's part, then the Vendor
shall pay all the City's costs for defense, including all reasonable expert witness fees and reasonable
attorneys' fees, plus the City's legal costs and fees incurred because there was a wrongful refusal on the
Vendor's part.
The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

contractors and consultants to use recycled and recyclable products whenever practicable. A price
preference may be available for any designated recycled product.
B. Non-Waiver of Breach. The failure of the City to insist upon strict performance of any of the
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or to exercise any option conferred by this
Agreement in one or more instances shall not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of those
covenants, agreements or options, and the same shall be and remain in full force and effect.
C. Resolution of Disputes and Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. If the parties are unable to settle any
dispute, difference or claim arising from the parties' performance of this Agreement, the exclusive means
of resolving that dispute, difference or claim, shall only be by filing suit exclusively under the venue, rules
and jurisdiction of the King County Superior Court, King County, Washington, unless the parties agree in
writing to an alternative dispute resolution process. In any claim or lawsuit for damages arising from the
parties' performance of this Agreement, each party shall pay all its legal costs and attorney's fees incurred
in defending or bringing such claim or lawsuit, including all appeals, in addition to any other recovery or
award provided by law; provided, however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the City's
right to indemnification under Section XII of this Agreement.

shall be binding unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the City and the Vendor.
G. Entire Agreement. The written provisions and terms of this Agreement, together with any
Exhibits attached hereto, shall supersede all prior verbal statements of any officer or other representative
of the City, and such statements shall not be effective or be construed as entering into or forming a part of
or altering in any manner this Agreement. All of the above documents are hereby made a part of this
Agreement. However, should any language in any of the Exhibits to this Agreement conflict with any
language contained in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
H. Compliance with Laws. The Vendor agrees to comply with all federal, state, and municipal
laws, rules, and regulations that are now effective or in the future become applicable to the Vendor's
business, equipment, and personnel engaged in operations covered by this Agreement or accruing out of

Regulations".
The following statements specifically identify the requirements the City deems necessary for any
