HomeMy WebLinkAboutAGMT - Scott Smith (Professional Maintenance and Project Management Services) Iris Lee, Director of Public Works 10/25/2024 City of Seal Beach 211 8th street Seal Beach, Ca 90740 Iris, It is with the deepest regret that effective immediately I must terminate my contract with the City of Seal Beach. If as we discussed we redid the contract and it would need to go through the City's attorneys, my attorney and PERS. I believe that to redo the current contract with the language as required by PERS would be a lengthy and cumbersome process that would take longer than the available time I have left to work until the end date of the current agreement. It has been an honor and a privilege working with you and the team over the past few years. I truly appreciate the opportunity to work with such a fantastic team and I am proud of the work we have accomplished. If you need any help in the future, please keep me in mind it would be an honor to work with you again. I am disappointed that my relationship with the City of Seal Beach must end in this manner, but I cannot risk jeopardizing my retirement in any way.

If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if any prerequisite contractual requirements are not otherwise satisfied as specified herein, Consultant shall be barred from bringing and maintaining a lawsuit against City. 25.0 Governing Law and Venue This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in interpreting this Agreement.

No waiver of any breach, any failure of a condition, or any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be (i) effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party making the waiver, (ii) deemed to be a waiver of, or consent to, any other breach, failure of a condition, or right or remedy, or (iii) deemed to constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing expressly so states. 29.0 Prohibited Interests; Conflict of Interest 29.1. Consultant covenants that he presently has no interest and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which may be affected by the Services, or which would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services. Consultant further covenants that, in performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it. Furthermore, Consultant shall avoid the appearance of having any interest, which would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services. Consultant shall not accept any employment or representation during the term of this Agreement which is or may likely make Consultant "financially interested" (as provided in California Government Code §§ 1090 and 87100) in any decision made by City on any matter in connection with which Consultant has been retained. 29.2. Consultant further warrants and maintains that he has not employed or retained any person or entity, other than a bona fide employee working exclusively for Consultant, to solicit or obtain this Agreement.

Consultant warrants and maintains that he has no knowledge that any officer or employee of City has any interest, whether contractual, non- contractual, financial, proprietary, or otherwise, in this transaction or in the 19 of 22 business of Consultant, and that if any such interest comes to the knowledge of Consultant at any time during the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall immediately make a complete, written disclosure of such interest to City, even if such interest would not be deemed a prohibited "conflict of interest" under applicable laws as described in this Section. 30.0 Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release The acceptance by Consultant of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Consultant for anything done, furnished or relating to Consultant's work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of City's check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of Consultant, his employees, subcontractors, agents, and servants for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Consultant, his employees, subcontractors, agents and servants. 31.0 Corrections In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth above, Consultant shall correct, at his sole expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City's review of Consultant's report or plans. Should Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Consultant.
