consent of the City Manager or his or her designated representative.

expense, indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to the City, (which acceptance will

liability, loss, damage, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative
proceedings, regulatory proceedings, civil penalties and fines, expenses and costs
(including, without limitation, claims expenses, attorney's fees and costs and fees of
litigation) (collectively, "Liability") of every nature, whether actual, alleged or threatened,

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT—PREVAILING WAGES
Sept 2018
Resolution No. 2019-077 N.C.S.
The Consultant's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless under this provision
shall not be excused because of the Consultant's inability to evaluate Liability, or because
the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not or may not be
liable. The Consultant must respond within 30 calendar days to any tender for defense and
indemnity by the City, unless the time for responding has been extended by an authorized
representative of the City in writing. If the Consultant fails to accept tender of defense and
indemnity within 30 calendar days, in addition to any other remedies authorized by law, so
much of the money due or that may become due the Consultant under this Agreement as
shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until
disposition has been made of the matter subject to tender, or until the Consultant accepts
the tender, whichever occurs first. In the event that the City must file responsive documents
in a matter tendered to Consultant prior to Consultant's acceptance of tender, Consultant
agrees to fully reimburse all costs, including but not limited to attorney's fees and costs
and fees of litigation, incurred by the City in filing such responsive documents.
The Consultant waives any and all rights to express or implied indemnity against the
Indemnitees concerning any Liability of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with
the Services or Consultant's failure to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement.
The Consultant's responsibility of such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the
termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.
The defense and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken to, and shall
not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent this Agreement is a "construction contract" as
defined by California Civil Code Section 2783, as may be amended from time to time,
Consultant's duty to indemnify under this provision shall not apply when to do so would
be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to
time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Services include design professional
services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended from time to
time, Consultant's duty to indemnify shall only be to the maximum extent permitted by
California Civil Code Section 2782.8.
24. Insurance. Consultant shall comply with the "Insurance Requirements for Consultants"
in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
City reserves the right to review any and all of the required insurance policies and/or
endorsements, but has no obligation to do so. City's failure to demand evidence of full
compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement or City's failure to
identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor from, nor be construed or
deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required insurance at all times during the
performance of this Agreement.
25. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by
both Parties.

customary fee.

of both Parties and that the Parties agree that, notwithstanding Civil Code section 1654,
any uncertainty in the Agreement shall not be construed against the drafter of the
Agreement.
28. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be enforced and interpreted under the laws
of the State of California and the City of Petaluma. Any action arising from or brought in
connection with this Agreement shall be venued in a court of competent jurisdiction in the
County of Sonoma, State of California.
29, Non -Waiver. The City's failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement or the waiver
thereof in a particular instance shall not be construed as a general waiver of any part of
such provision. The provision shall remain in full force and effect.
30. Severability. If any term or portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or
otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
31. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties do not intend to create, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to create any benefit or right in any third party.
32. Mediation. The Parties agree to make a good faith attempt to resolve any dispute arising
out of this Agreement through mediation prior to commencing litigation. The Parties shall
mutually agree upon the mediator and shall divide the costs of mediation equally.
33. Consultant's Books and Records.
A. Consultant shall maintain any and all ledgers, books of accounts, invoices,
vouchers, canceled checks, and other records or documents evidencing or relating
to charges for services, or expenditures and disbursements charged to the City for

3.0 INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
3.1 IPM is an approach to pest control that utilizes regular routine monitoring to
determine if and when treatments are needed, and employs physical, mechanical,
cultural, biological, and educational tactics to keep pest numbers low enough to
prevent unacceptable damage or annoyance. Additional treatments, such as
pesticide applications, are made only when and where monitoring has indicated
that the pest will cause unacceptable economic, medical, or aesthetic damage.
Treatments are not made according to a predetermined schedule. Treatments are
chosen and timed to be most effective and least -hazardous to non -target
organisms and the general environment.
3.2 The principles of Bay Friendly Landscaping Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
guidelines and the City of Petaluma IPM guidelines (City application in parks
and public access areas), unless otherwise approved by the City, shall be
employed. The intent is to limit any pesticide and herbicide applications through
healthy landscape management practices.
3.3 Contractor shall propose pesticide applications only as a last resort and only after
other methods of control are proven ineffective.

areas monthly, or as determined by the WRF Environmental Services Supervisor
or designee, to identify potential pest problems. Pest problems include insect,
disease, and weed infestations. The presence of a pest does not necessarily mean
that treatment is required. Contractor shall keep written records of pests
identified and areas where problems may be developing.
3.6 Any area where non -chemical IPM control methods should begin should be
brought to the attention of the WRF Environmental Services Supervisor or
designee.
3.7 Contractor shall provide written pest monitoring reports that include status of
infestation, description of controls implemented (e.g. "applied wood chip
mulch", "mechanically pulled weeds", "adjusted irrigation") and noxious weed
identified. Reports shall be provided monthly to the City of Petaluma's WRF
Environmental Services Supervisor or designee.

Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), perennial pepperweed (Lepidium
latifolium), black mustard (Brassica nigra), bristly oxtongue (Helminthotheca
ichioides), Harding grass (Phalaris aquatica), and other noxious weeds as needed
by mechanical (mowing, hand clipping, pulling), chemical (spot or area
spraying), or biological (IPM) methods. For chemical treatment of weeds, follow
the specifications listed in SECTION 4.0 PESTICIDE APPLICATION.
3.9 No herbicides shall be used in the aquatic environment, unless they are classified
as aquatic -safe and approved by the City of Petaluma WRF Environmental
Services Supervisor or designee.

current classification (Cal -IPC ranking, and Sonoma County designation) of
noxious weed species and landscape pests and diseases in Sonoma County.

staking to prevent damage, such as girdling or trunks or branches
and rubbing that may cause plant wounds. Remove stakes when
trees or woody vegetation achieve a trunk caliper size of 3" or more,
or are established and self-supporting.
6.8.7 Bark mulch shall be installed around every plant at a distance of 3
inches from the central stem and at depth of 2 inches at the time of
planting. Mulch shall be composted, recycled wood and yard waste
chips. See SECTION 9.0 for mulch specification.
