The work will be accomplished primarily on private property, but some may be on public property. It is the intent of the City to assign all weed abatement and rubbish cleanup required to be done on private property to this Contractor. TERM OF CONTRACT: The term of this contract will be for ONE YEAR, renewable for one additional year at the option of the City. Specification A. Indemnification and Insurance - Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, at its own risk, cost and expense, the City, its officers, agents and employees from and against any and all liability or loss, including defense costs, arising from Contractor's performance under the terms of this agreement. Contractor, at its sole cost and expense, shall purchase and maintain throughout the term of this agreement, the following insurance policies: 1. Automobile insurance covering all bodily injury and property damage liability incurred during the performance of this agreement, with a minimum coverage of $500,000 combined single limit per accident. Such automobile insurance shall include non -owned vehicles. 2. Comprehensive general liability insurance, with minimum limits of $500,000 combined single limit per occurrence, covering all bodily injury and property damage arising out of Contractor's operation under this agreement. 3. Workers' compensation insurance covering all of its employees and volunteers. 4. The aforesaid policies, except for the workers' compensation policy, shall name City and its officers, agents, and employees as additional insured, and shall constitute primary insurance as 2 to City, its officers, agents and employees, so that any other policies held by City shall not contribute to any loss under said insurance. Said policies shall provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to City of cancellation or material change. If any required insurance coverage is provided on a "claims made" rather than "occurrence" form, Contractor shall maintain such insurance coverage for three years after expiration of the term (and any extensions) of this agreement. If Contractor does not keep all of such insurance policies in full force and effect at all times during the term of this agreement, City may elect to treat the failure to maintain the requisite insurance as a breach of the contract and terminate the agreement. B. A BUSINESS LICENSE from the City of National City will also be required. C. Wherever practical, mowing is the preferred method of weed abatement. Areas designated will be completely mowed including easements, setbacks and parkways, to a length of two inches maximum. "Scalping" of the ground is to be avoided. Mechanized mowing should be used where areas and contours permit. Some hand -mowing will be required in these areas. Other areas, because of their size or contour or other conditions, will require hand -mowing. All debris generated by mowing and all litter is to be removed, and the premises, including streets and sidewalks, left in clean condition. Debris and litter so generated will be hauled to an appropriate landfill in suitable containers or equipment. D. Where the primary work is rubbish removal, all rubbish designated by the City is to be removed from the premises and hauled to an appropriate landfill in suitable equipment or containers. It should be noted that while the bid quantity is truckloads (5 cu. yds.) as a method to estimate the quantity of material to be moved, the Contractor may use any legal method of hauling. NO SCAVENGING OF RUBBISH WILL BE PERMITTED. Payment for rubbish removal will include leaving the premises, including streets and sidewalks, in clean condition. 3 E. Field work shall not start before 7:30 A.M. Work may be accomplished on Saturday and Sunday only by arrangement with the City and by payment to the City of sufficient funds to offset compensation to inspection personnel at overtime rates. Appropriate safety equipment shall be available and used at all times. WORK AUTHORIZATION For each parcel to be mowed, a square footage figure will be provided by the City. Upon agreement between the City and the Contractor as to the application of bid amounts and as to the total cost of abatement of the parcel, authorization will be given to accomplish.

All such photos will be required to be submitted with payment requests as a precedent to payment. Each work authorization will contain a parcel number (or numbers), a square footage, an agreed price based upon bid amounts, a work authorization number, a start date and a latest completion date, an actual completion date, and an area for "REMARKS." Upon satisfactory completion, the city inspector will sign off on each authorization. For each parcel to have rubbish removed, an on -site joint visit will be made by the Contractor and by a representative of the City.
