RE: Mason County Improves Roadway Safety Through Additional Striping
County roads that have never seen a paint stripe before will have a safety upgrade this
summer. Why now? By purchasing a paint striper, Mason County is saving about$300,000
per year. Those savings are going towards new pavement markings that improve nighttime
visibility on low traffic volume roads that have narrower lanes and are in poorly lit areas.
The additional striping is part of a multi-year, county-wide safety enhancement effort.
Installing reflective signposts, buttons and delineators, expanding clear zones, widening and
paving shoulders, are some of the improvements already implemented.

CONTRACTOR, no more often than monthly, in accordance with COUNTY's customary
procedures, pursuant to the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit C.

Billing Procedures and Payment:
The funding awarded may only be used for eligible activities and expenses. COUNTY will pay
CONTRACTOR upon acceptance of services provided and receipt of properly completed
invoices, which shall be submitted to the COUNTY representative not more often than monthly.
Exceptions to the single billing per month (or quarterly) can be made by the COUNTY on a

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
Any arbitration proceeding commenced to enforce or interpret this CONTRACT shall be brought
within six (6) years after the initial occurrence giving rise to the claim, dispute or issue for which
arbitration is commenced, regardless of the date of discovery or whether the claim, dispute or
issue was continuing in nature. Claims, disputes or issues arising more than six (6) years prior
to a written request or demand for arbitration issued under this Agreement are not subject to
arbitration.

of the terms of this CONTRACT, the venue of such action of litigation shall be in the courts of

CONTRACT shall be governed by the laws of Mason County and the State of Washington.

circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other terms, conditions or
applications which can be given effect without the invalid term, condition or application. To this
end, the terms and conditions of this CONTRACT are declared severable.
Professional Services Contract (rev 01/2024) Page 10

modified or deleted except by an instrument, in writing, signed by the parties hereto. The failure
of COUNTY to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants of this CONTRACT, or to

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.
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.

requirements shall be by insurers authorized to do business in Washington and with a
minimum A.M. Best rating of A-:Vll.
Professional Services Contract (rev 01/2024) Page 15
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 to 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

Term:
Services provided by CONTRACTOR prior to or after the term of this CONTRACT shall be
performed at the expense of CONTRACTOR and are not compensable under this CONTRACT

be extended by mutual consent of the parties, provided, however, that the CONTRACT is in

shall not be binding unless they are in writing and signed by personnel authorized to bind each
of the parties.
The duration of this CONTRACT may be extended by mutual written consent of the parties, for
a period of up to one year, and for a total of no longer than three years.
Independent Contractor:
The CONTRACTOR shall furnish CONTRACTOR's services as an independent contractor, and
nothing herein contained shall be construed to create a relationship of employer-employee. All

Exhibit C Budget and the CONTRACTOR is not entitled to any benefits including, but not limited
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 2

that he/she/it maintains a separate place of business, serves clients other than COUNTY, will
report all income and expense accrued under this CONTRACT to the Internal Revenue Service,
and has a tax account with the State of Washington Department of Revenue for payment of all
sales and use and Business and Occupation taxes collected by the State of Washington.

employees from any loss or expense, including, but not limited to, settlements, judgments,
setoffs, attorneys' fees or costs incurred by reason of claims or demands because of breach of
the provisions of this paragraph.
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,

personal property to which COUNTY does not hold title. COUNTY is exempt from Federal
Excise Tax.

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 at the present time or in the future.
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 actually 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, so as 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
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 3
CONTRACTOR, no more often than monthly, in accordance with COUNTY's customary
procedures, pursuant to the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit C.
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.
Billing Procedures and Payment:
The funding awarded may only be used for eligible activities and expenses. COUNTY will pay
CONTRACTOR upon acceptance of services provided and receipt of properly completed
invoices, which shall be submitted to the COUNTY representative not more often than monthly.
Exceptions to the single billing per month (or quarterly) can be made by the COUNTY on a
case-by-case basis. The CONTRACTOR shall only be paid as a reimbursement of allowable
costs incurred during each invoice period, according to the terms provided in Exhibit A, if the
CONTRACTOR performs the services and submits all reporting to a satisfactory level. The
COUNTY may, in its sole discretion, withhold payments claimed by the CONTRACTOR for
services rendered if the CONTRACTOR fails to satisfactorily comply with any term or condition
of this CONTRACT. No payments in advance or in anticipation of services or supplies to be
provided under this CONTRACT shall be made by the COUNTY. No payment shall be made for
any work performed by the CONTRACTOR, except for work identified and set forth in this
CONTRACT. Unless otherwise provided for in this CONTRACT or any exhibits hereto, the

audit exceptions or disallowable costs incurred by its own organization or that of its

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

Modifications:
Either party may request changes in the CONTRACT. Any and all agreed modifications, to be
valid and binding upon either party, shall be in writing and signed by both of the parties.
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

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

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.
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 9
Termination for Reduced Funding:
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 Service and Exhibit C Budget.
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

SCOPE OF SERVICE
Program Description:
The North Mason Regional Fire Authority (NMRFA), in collaboration with its partnering
agencies, has expanded its Mobile Integrated Health Program (MIHP) to enhance mobile health
services to serve nearly all of Mason County. This expansion increases the program's capacity
to deliver medical, mental health, and substance use disorder (SUD) services directly in the
field. The MIHP South Unit provides services to southern and central Mason County, including
Shelton, Kamilche, Dayton, Matlock, and Cloquallum.
Mobile Integrated Health is a health delivery program that aims to increase rapid access to
medical, mental health, and substance use disorder (SUD) care in Mason County. The program
is designed in such a way that Advanced Practicing Medical Providers (APPs) such as
Physician Associates (PA), Nurse Practitioners (NP), Registered Nurses (RN), and a Resource
Navigator are deployed throughout the Mason County community to provide appropriate
medical, mental, and SUD care and appropriate referrals for patients wherever they might find
themselves in need.
The program is designed to accept referrals from any source, including the community, health
care systems, medical providers, schools, and the 911 system, to provide a rapid response. The
MIHP team then engages to stabilize the current situation by attending to immediate mental,
physical, and social health needs. Once incident stabilization is obtained, the team works to
identify individuals who need assistance and makes referrals to appropriate community partners
for follow-up care and case management services.
MIHP services include but are not limited to medical diagnosis and treatment, prescription
issuing, medical specialist referrals, laboratory services and testing, medications for opioid use
disorder (MOUD), all substance use disorder (SUD) recovery services, and support, SUD
prevention and prescription education, mental health diagnosis and treatment, mental crisis
assistance, assisting agency referrals, health care system navigation and patient advocacy.

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

policy using Insurance Services Office form CG 20 10 with an edition date prior to 2004.

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
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 14
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.
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-:Vll.
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 15

this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in

14. CONTRACTOR agrees to 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 COUNTY.

Item: Sole Source Purchase of Replacement Kubota Membrane Unit for the
Belfair Reclamation Facility
Background / Executive Summary:
The Belfair Reclamation Facility uses Kubota membrane bioreactor technology as a critical part of its wastewater
treatment process. Mason County Public Works requires the purchase of one (1) replacement Kubota membrane unit
to maintain system reliability and regulatory compliance.
Purchasing this unit will eliminate the current lack of redundancy and increase operational flexibility. It will allow
staff to remove an existing membrane unit for cleaning, install the replacement to maintain operations, and rotate
cleaned units through other reservoirs without interrupting treatment.
The replacement unit is proprietary and available only through Kubota Water and Environment USA Corporation
and its authorized distributors. It is required to remain compatible with the existing treatment system, making this
purchase eligible for sole source procurement.
Public Works is requesting the Board consider placing this item on the August 4, 2026 Commission meeting
agenda.
Budget Impact:
Funded through U&W Belfair Reclamation Facility Fund 413. The total price is $235,122.00 (excluding tax). See
attached quote.
