CONTRACT within the times set forth in this CONTRACT, then COUNTY may, upon
written notice, withhold from amounts otherwise due and payable to CONTRACTOR,

termination or damages, provided that COUNTY promptly gives notice in writing to the
CONTRACTOR of the nature of the default or failure to perform, and in no case more
than ten (10) days after it determines to withhold amounts otherwise due. A
determination of the Administrative Officer set forth in a notice to the CONTRACTOR of

COUNTY.

COUNTY may terminate this CONTRACT in whole or in part should COUNTY
determine, in its sole discretion, that such termination is necessary due to a decrease in
available project funding including State and/or Federal grants. Whenever the
CONTRACT is terminated in accordance with this paragraph, the CONTRACTOR shall
be entitled to payment for actual work performed in compliance with Exhibit A Scope of
Services and Exhibit C Budget.

otherwise may be payable, or to extension of time for(1) any act or failure to act by

occurrence, unless the CONTRACTOR has given COUNTY a written Notice of
Potential Claim within ten (10) days of the commencement of the act, failure, or
event giving rise to the claim, and before final payment by COUNTY. The written
Notice of Potential Claim shall set forth the reasons for which the CONTRACTOR
believes additional compensation or extension of time is due, the nature of the cost
involved, and insofar as possible, the amount of the potential claim. CONTRACTOR

used, and all costs and additional time claimed to be additional.

or extension of time, unless within thirty (30) days of the accomplishment of the
portion of the work from which the claim arose, and before final payment by
COUNTY, the CONTRACTOR has given COUNTY a detailed written statement of
each element of cost or other compensation requested and of all elements of
additional time required, and copies of any supporting documents evidencing the
amount or the extension of time claimed to be due.

Professional Services Contract (rev 06/2023) Page 11
Other than claims for injunctive relief brought by a party hereto (which may be brought
either in court or pursuant to this arbitration provision), and consistent with the
provisions hereinabove, any claim, dispute or controversy between the parties under,
arising out of, or related to this CONTRACT or otherwise, including issues of specific
performance, shall be determined by arbitration in Shelton, Washington, under the

applications which can be given effect without the invalid term, condition or application.

$1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If CONTRACTOR owns no vehicles,

personal auto liability coverage for each such person.

to COUNTY within five (5) days of CONTRACT execution.

include as additional insureds COUNTY, its officials, employees and agents, using ISO
endorsement CG 20 10 with an edition date prior to 2004. CONTRACTOR also agrees
to require all contractors, subcontractors, and anyone else involved in this CONTRACT
on behalf of the CONTRACTOR (hereinafter"indemnifying parties")to comply with
these provisions.
2. CONTRACTOR agrees to waive rights of recovery against COUNTY regardless of
the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all indemnifying parties to do

Professional Services Contract (rev 06/2023) Page 15
4. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by COUNTY, CONTRACTOR shall not make any reductions in
scope or limits of coverage that may affect COUNTY's protection without COUNTY's
prior written consent.
5. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide evidence of the insurance required herein,
satisfactory to COUNTY, consisting of: a) certificate(s) of insurance evidencing all of the
coverages required and, b) an additional insured endorsement to CONTRACTOR's
general liability policy using Insurance Services Office form CG 20 10 with an edition
date prior to 2004. CONTRACTOR agrees, upon request by COUNTY to provide
complete, certified copies of any policies required within 10 days of such request.
COUNTY has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to
protect its interests. Any premium so paid by COUNTY shall be charged to and promptly
paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from sums due CONTRACTOR. Any actual or
alleged failure on the part of COUNTY or any other additional insured under these
requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this CONTRACT in no way
waives any right or remedy of COUNTY or any additional insured, in this or in any other
regard.
6. It is acknowledged by the parties of this CONTRACT that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by CONTRACTOR or indemnifying party, is intended to apply
first and on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-
insurance available to COUNTY.
7. CONTRACTOR agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions on any
portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any
indemnifying party to self- insure its obligations to COUNTY. If CONTRACTOR's
existing coverage includes a self-insured retention, the self-insured retention must be
declared to the COUNTY. The COUNTY may review options with CONTRACTOR,
which may include reduction or elimination of the self-insured retention, substitution of
other coverage, or other solutions.
8. CONTRACTOR will renew the required coverage annually as long as COUNTY, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
CONTRACT. This obligation applies whether or not the CONTRACT is canceled or
terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until COUNTY
executes a written statement to that effect.
9. The limits of insurance as described above shall be considered as minimum
requirements. Should any coverage carried by CONTRACTOR or a subcontractor of
any tier maintain insurance with limits of liability that exceed the required limits or
coverage that is broader than as outlined above, those higher limits and broader
coverage shall be deemed to apply for the benefit of any person or organization
included as an additional insured and those limits shall become the required minimum
limits of insurance in all Paragraphs and Sections of this CONTRACT.
Professional Services Contract (rev 06/2023) Page 16
10. None of the policies required herein shall be in compliance with these requirements
if they include any limiting endorsement that has not been first submitted to COUNTY
and approved of in writing.
11. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this
CONTRACT to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the
provisions of this Exhibit.
12. Unless otherwise approved by COUNTY, insurance provided pursuant to these
requirements shall be by insurers authorized to do business in Washington and with a
minimum A.M. Best rating of A-:VII.
13. All insurance coverage and limits provided by CONTRACTOR and available or
applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this CONTRACT limits the application of such insurance coverage.
14. CONTRACTOR agrees require insurers, to provide notice to COUNTY thirty (30)
days prior to cancellation of such liability coverage or of any material alteration or non-
renewal of any such coverage, other than for non-payment of premium. CONTRACTOR
shall assure that this provision also applies to any subcontractors, joint ventures or any
other party engaged by or on behalf of contractor in relation to this agreement.
Certificate(s) are to reflect that the issuer will provide thirty (30) days' notice to COUNTY
of any cancellation of coverage.
15. COUNTY reserves the right at any time during the term of the CONTRACT to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR
ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR
may renegotiate CONTRACTOR's compensation.
16. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitation on other
requirements or as waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy.
Specific reference to a coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it
pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive.
17. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to COUNTY of any claim or
loss against CONTRACTOR arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
COUNTY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right(but not the
duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
