regardless of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of Consultant, its subcontractors, agents, employees, or delegates. Consultant agrees that this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Consultant also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation have run. If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Consultant to: a. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing performance of the indemnity obligation; or b. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from Consultant’s insurance company. Consultant will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice from the City. 21. Records Access. The Consultant shall provide the City access to any books, documents, papers, and records which are directly pertinent to the specific contract, for the purpose of making audit, examination, excerpts, and transcriptions, for three years after final payments and all other pending matters related to this contract are closed. 22. Ownership of Documents. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and information generated in connection with the performance of the Agreement (“Information”) shall become the property of the City. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the Contractor also may use the Information for its purposes. Reuse of the Information for the purposes of the project contemplated by this Agreement (“Project”) does not relieve any liability on the part of the Contractor, but any reuse of the Information by the City or the Contractor beyond the scope of the Project is without liability to the other, and the party reusing the Information agrees to defend and indemnify the other from any claims or liability resulting therefrom. 23. Subcontractor. The Consultant shall not enter into subcontracts for services provided under this Agreement except as noted in Exhibit A, without the express written consent of the City. The Consultant shall pay any subcontractor involved in the performance of this Agreement within the ten (10) days of the Consultant’s receipt of payment by the City for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor. If the Consultant fails within that time to pay the subcontractor any undisputed amount for which the Consultant has received payment by the City, the Consultant shall pay interest to the subcontractor on the unpaid amount at the rate of 1.5 percent per month or any part of a month. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the Consultant shall pay the actual interest penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from the Consultant shall be awarded its costs and disbursements, including attorney’s fees, incurred in bringing the action. In addition, no subcontractor can file a lien against the City. 24. Dispute Resolution/Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this Agreement or the relationships which result from this Agreement shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or legal or equitable actions by either party.
