CONTRACT by the CONTRACTOR as an independent contractor.

Payment:
COUNTY will reimburse CONTRACTOR for actual expenditures incurred each month, according to
the terms provided in EXHIBIT B, provided that CONTRACTOR performs the services and submits all
reporting to a satisfactory level. Monthly expenditures will be reported using the template provided.
Payment is on the assumption that State and local funds are available to the COUNTY for
disbursement to the CONTRACTOR and have been expended and program requirements met, or
earlier in the event of non-compliance. If State or local funds are not available to the COUNTY, the
COUNTY reserves the right to amend the payment terms and the amount of the maximum contract

to incur any expenses on the program using COUNTY funding prior to the effective date. The
CONTRACT end date is June 30, 2021, or earlier in the event of non-compliance.

expenses. If it is determined that CONTRACTOR has received duplicate payment, the
CONTRACTOR must pay back the COUNTY for these expenses.
Recordkeeping:
COTNRACTOR agrees to keep records in an easily read form sufficient to account for all receipts and
expenditures of contract funds. These records, as well as supporting documentation, will be archived
by the CONTRACTOR'S office for at least six (6) years after the end of the contract. CONTRACTOR
agrees to make such books, records, and supporting documentation available to the COUNTY for
inspection when requested.
Accounting and Payment for CONTRACTOR Services:
Payment to the CONTRACTOR for services rendered under this CONTRACT shall be as set forth in
"Exhibit C BUDGET." Where Exhibit "C" requires payments by the COUNTY, payment shall be based
upon written claims supported, unless otherwise provided in Exhibit "C," by documentation of units of
work performed and amounts earned, including, where appropriate, the actual number of days worked
each month, total number of hours for the month, and the total dollar payment requested, to comply
with municipal auditing requirements. Acceptable invoices will be processed within 30 days of receipt.
Unless specifically stated in Exhibit "C" or approved in writing in advance by the official executing this
CONTRACT for COUNTY or his or her designee (hereinafter referred to as the "Administrative
Officer"). COUNTY will not reimburse the CONTRACTOR for any costs or expenses incurred by the
CONTRACTOR in the performance of this CONTRACT. Where required, COUNTY shall, upon

receipt of appropriate documentation, compensate the CONTRACTOR, no more often than monthly,
in accordance with COUNTY's customary procedures.

requirements outlined in Exhibit A- on or before the dates indicated therein. The COUNTY reserves
the right to aggregate, disaggregate, analyze, reproduce, and/or disseminate the data provided in
program reports, financial activity reports, or any other reports submitted to the COUNTY with respect
to the program.
Federal and State Benchmarks, Data Collection, and Evaluation:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Commerce may
require additional reporting of programs and continuums of care directly or indirectly related to the
funding awarded such as, but not limited to, Coordinated Entry, Data Quality, Data Timeliness,
Housing Inventory Report, Annual Performance Report, Point in Time Count and System
Performance Measures. CONTRACTOR agrees to participate in these evaluation efforts, meet
individual benchmarks that contribute to the system and will fulfill the data collection and reporting
requirements specified at the time of the request. It will be the obligation of the COUNTY
representatives, CONTRACTOR and other contractors to provide protections and assurances
regarding the confidentiality of data, samples of work (in any media format) and/or interview
comments provided by participants. COTNRACTOR also agrees to provide the COUNTY with the
results of any independent or self-directed evaluation or research undertaken in respect to the funded
program.
Withholding Payment:
In the event the CONTRACTOR has failed to perform any obligation under this CONTRACT within the
times set forth in this CONTRACT, then COUNTY may, upon written notice, withhold from amounts
otherwise due and payable to CONTRACTOR, without penalty, until such failure to perform is cured
or otherwise adjudicated. Withholding under this clause shall not be deemed a breach entitling
CONTRACTOR to 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 the action required and/or the
amount required to cure any alleged failure to perform shall be deemed conclusive, except to the
extent that the CONTRACTOR acts within the times and in strict accord with the provisions of the
Disputes clause of this CONTRACT. COUNTY may act in accordance with any determination of the
Administrative Officer which has become conclusive under this clause, without prejudice to any other
remedy under the CONTRACT, to take all or any of the following actions: (1) cure any failure or
default, (2) to pay any amount so required to be paid and to charge the same to the account of the
CONTRACTOR, (3) to set off any amount so paid or incurred from amounts due or to become due the
CONTRACTOR. In the event the CONTRACTOR obtains relief upon a claim under the Disputes
clause, no penalty or damages shall accrue to CONTRACTOR by reason of good faith withholding by
COUNTY under this clause.
Taxes:
CONTRACTOR understands and acknowledges that COUNTY will not withhold Federal or State
income taxes. Where required by State or Federal law, the CONTRACTOR authorizes COUNTY to
withhold for any taxes other than income taxes (i.e., Medicare). All compensation received by the
CONTRACTOR will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service at the end of the calendar year in
accordance with the applicable IRS regulations. It is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to make
the necessary estimated tax payments throughout the year, if any, and the CONTRACTOR is solely
liable for any tax obligation arising from the CONTRACTOR's performance of this CONTRACT. The
CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to indemnify COUNTY against any demand to pay taxes arising from
the CONTRACTOR's failure to pay taxes on compensation earned pursuant to this CONTRACT.
IProfessional Services Contract(rev 05/2020) Page 4
COUNTY will pay sales and use taxes imposed on goods or services acquired hereunder as required
by law. The CONTRACTOR must pay all other taxes, including, but not limited to, Business and
Occupation Tax, taxes based on the CONTRACTOR's gross or net income, or personal property to
which COUNTY does not hold title. COUNTY is exempt from Federal Excise Tax.
No Guarantee of Employment:
The performance of all or part of this CONTRACT by the CONTRACTOR shall not operate to vest any
employment rights whatsoever and shall not be deemed to guarantee any employment of
CONTRACTOR or any employee of CONTRACTOR or any sub-contractor or any employee of any
sub-contractor by COUNTY now or in the future.
Intellectual Property:
COTNRACTOR shall retain all copyrights and other intellectual property rights to written work
produced because of this award, including but not limited to, work product listed in SCOPE OF
SERVICES. CONTRACTOR grants to COUNTY a nonexclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, and royalty-
free license to access, reproduce, publish, copy, or otherwise use such written work. Program
materials may be reproduced (but not morphed, amended, revised, or redesigned) by any other party,
on a worldwide, non-exclusive basis and without fee in connection with their own educational or
program purposes, but may not be used in connection with sales or distribution for profit. The owner
must approve any use of project materials not specifically permitted under this provision, in advance
and in writing. As appropriate, all materials shall contain an attribution of ownership.
Third-Party Rights:
CONTRACTOR warrants that written work product(s) produced under the terms of this CONTRACT
will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate the rights of any third party, or incorporate or be derived
from the intellectual property of any third party, without the COUNTY'S prior written consent.
Termination for Default:
If CONTRACTOR defaults by failing to perform any of the obligations of the CONTRACT or becomes
insolvent or is declared bankrupt or commits any act of bankruptcy or insolvency or makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, COUNTY may, by depositing written notice to CONTRACTOR
in the U.S. mail, terminate the CONTRACT, and at COUNTY's option, obtain performance of the work
elsewhere. If the CONTRACT is terminated for default, CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to
receive any further payments under the CONTRACT until all work called for has been fully performed.
Any extra cost or damage to COUNTY resulting from such default(s) shall be deducted from any
money due or coming due to CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall bear any extra expenses
incurred by COUNTY in completing the work, including all increased costs for completing the work,
and all damage sustained, or which may be sustained by COUNTY by reason of such default.
If a notice of termination for default has been issued and it is later determined for any reason that
CONTRACTOR was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the
notice of termination had been issued pursuant to the Termination for Public Convenience paragraph
hereof.
Termination for Public Convenience:
COUNTY may terminate this CONTRACT in whole or in part whenever COUNTY determines, in its
sole discretion, that such termination is in the interests of COUNTY. Whenever the CONTRACT is
terminated in accordance with this paragraph, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to payment for actual
work performed in compliance with Exhibit A-SCOPE OF SERVICES. An equitable adjustment in the
CONTRACT price for partially completed items of work will be made, but such adjustment shall not
include provision for loss of anticipated profit on deleted or uncompleted work. Termination of this
CONTRACT by COUNTY at any time during the term, whether for default or convenience, shall not
constitute breach of CONTRACT by COUNTY.
Termination for Reduced Funding:
IProfessional Services Contract(rev 05/2020) Page 5
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 B Compensation.
Disputes:
1. Differences between the CONTRACTOR and COUNTY, arising under and by virtue of the
AGREEMENT shall be brought to the attention of COUNTY at the earliest possible time in order that
such matters may be settled, or other appropriate action promptly taken. For objections that are not
made in the manner specified and within the time limits stated, the records, orders, rulings,
instructions, and decisions of the Administrative Officer shall be final and conclusive.
2. The CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to additional compensation which otherwise may be
payable, or to extension of time for (1) any act or failure to act by the Administrative Officer of
COUNTY, or(2) the happening of any event or 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 shall keep full and complete daily records of the work
performed, labor and material used, and all costs and additional time claimed to be additional.
3. The CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to claim any such additional compensation, 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.
Arbitration:
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 applicable American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules in effect on the date
hereof, as modified by this CONTRACT. There shall be one arbitrator selected by the parties within
ten (10) days of the arbitration demand, or if not, by the AAA or any other group having similar
credentials. Any issue about whether a claim is covered by this CONTRACT shall be determined by
the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply substantive law and may award injunctive relief, equitable
relief(including specific performance), or any other remedy available from a judge, including
expenses, costs and attorney fees to the prevailing party and pre-award interest, but shall not have
the power to award punitive damages. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and an
order confirming the award or judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy between them regarding any dispute presented or pled before the arbitrator. At the request of
either party made not later than forty-five (45) days after the arbitration demand, the parties agree to
submit the dispute to nonbinding mediation, which shall not delay the arbitration hearing date;
provided, that either party may decline to mediate and proceed with arbitration.

demand for arbitration issued under this Agreement are not subject to arbitration.
Change in Personnel
Professional Services Contract(rev 05/2020) Page 6
The success of the approved program is largely contingent on the approved staffing identified in the
proposal application and/or related to the final award amount and related services. Should there be
any material change in job description, level of authority, or employment status of program staffing (or
projected staff start dates for new programs) during the term of the CONTRACT, the COUNTY
requires that the CONTRACTOR notify the COUNTY in writing within 15 days of the change and
includes a staffing plan to minimize any disruption in services. CONTRACTOR will provide weekly
updates after the written notice and plan until the staffing change is resolved.

limited to those pertaining to payment of wages and working conditions, in accordance with RCW

and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act providing for weekly payment of prevailing

be used only for the program funded. The CONTRACTOR agrees to establish and maintain
transaction documents (purchase requisitions, packing slips, invoices, receipts) and maintenance
records of equipment purchased with Contract funds. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for
any loss or damage to property of the COUNTY that results from the negligence of the contractor or
that results from the failure on the part of the contractor to maintain and administer that property in
accordance with sound management practices. In the case of Early Termination, the CONTRACTOR
agrees that all such equipment will be returned to the COUNTY unless otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the CONTRACTOR and the COUNTY.
Assignment and Subcontracting:
The performance of all activities contemplated by this CONTRACT shall be accomplished by
CONTRACTOR. No portion of this CONTRACT may be assigned or subcontracted to any other
individual, firm or entity without the express and prior written approval of COUNTY. If subcontracting
approved, CONTRACTOR is responsible to COUNTY should the subcontractor fail to comply with any
applicable term or condition of this contract. CONTRACTOR shall audit and monitor the activities of
the subcontractor during the contract term to assure fiscal conditions and performance metrics are
met. COUNTY will be included on any audit or monitoring activities and reports.
Conflict of Interest:
If at any time prior to commencement of, or during the term of this CONTRACT, CONTRACTOR or
any of its employees involved in the performance of this CONTRACT shall have or develop an interest
in the subject matter of this CONTRACT that is potentially in conflict with the COUNTY's interest, then
CONTRACTOR shall immediately notify COUNTY of the same. The notification of COUNTY shall be
made with sufficient specificity to enable COUNTY to make an informed judgment as to whether or
not COUNTY's interest may be compromised in any manner by the existence of the conflict, actual or
potential. Thereafter, COUNTY may require CONTRACTOR to take reasonable steps to remove the
conflict of interest. COUNTY may also terminate this CONTRACT according to the provisions herein
for termination.

require another person or corporation to refrain from submitting a proposal to or performing work or

proposal to or from performing work or providing supplies to COUNTY.

brought against COUNTY; to the extent such action is based on the claim that information supplied by

Such defense and payments are conditioned upon the following:
A. CONTRACTOR shall be notified promptly in writing by COUNTY of any notice of such
claim.

CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-contractors, and their employees shall maintain the confidentiality
of all information provided by COUNTY or acquired by CONTRACTOR in performance of this
CONTRACT, except upon the prior written consent of COUNTY or an order entered by a court after

notice of any judicial proceeding seeking disclosure of such information. CONTRACTOR shall
indemnify and hold harmless COUNTY, its officials, agents or employees from all loss or expense,

Mason County, State of Washington, upon request. CONTRACTOR also agrees to notify the
Administrative Officer in advance of any inspections, audits, or program review by any individual,
agency, or governmental unit whose purpose is to review the services provided within the terms of
this CONTRACT. If no advance notice is given to CONTRACTOR, then CONTRACTOR agrees to

Professional Services Contract(rev 05/2020) Page 9
application of any other workmen's compensation act, disability benefit act or other employee benefit
act, and the CONTRACTOR hereby expressly waives any immunity afforded by such acts. The
foregoing indemnification obligations of the CONTRACTOR are a material inducement to COUNTY to
enter into this CONTRACT, are reflected in CONTRACTOR's compensation, and have been mutually
negotiated by the parties.
Participation by County— No Waiver. COUNTY reserves the right, but not the obligation, to participate
in the defense of any claim, damages, losses or expenses and such participation shall not constitute a
waiver of CONTRACTOR's indemnity obligations under this CONTRACT.

indemnity obligations shall survive the completion, expiration or termination of this CONTRACT.

additional insured and those limits shall become the required minimum limits of insurance in all Paragraphs
