<br /> (5) By the effective date of this Agreement or within a reasonable time
<br />thereafter, Service Provider has established an account with the department of revenue and other
<br />state agencies, where required, for the service performed for the payment of all state taxes
<br />normally paid by employers and businesses and has registered for and received a unified
<br />business identifier number from the state of Washington; and
<br />
<br /> (6) By the effective date of this Agreement, Service Provider is maintaining a
<br />separate set of records that reflect all items of income and expenses of the services performed.
<br />
<br /> C. Any and all employees of the Service Provider, while engaged in the performance of any
<br />Work, shall be considered employees of only the Service Provider and not employees of the
<br />City. The Service Provider shall be solely liable for any and all claims that may or might arise
<br />under the Worker's Compensation Act on behalf of such employees or Service Provider, while so
<br />engaged and for any and all claims made by a third party as a consequence of any negligent act
<br />or omission on the part of the Service Provider's employees, while so engaged on any of the
<br />Work
<br />
<br /> D. Service Provider shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Fair Labor Standards
<br />Act and other legislation affecting its employees and the rules and regulations issued thereunder
<br />insofar as applicable to its employees and shall at all times save the City free, clear and harmless
<br />from all actions, claims, demands and expenses arising out of such act, and rules and regulations
<br />that are or may be promulgated in connection therewith.
<br />
<br /> E. Service Provider assumes full responsibility for the payment of all payroll taxes, use,
<br />sales, income, or other form of taxes (such as state and, city business and occupation taxes), fees,
<br />licenses, excises or payments required by any city, federal or state legislation which are now or
<br />may during the term of the Agreement be enacted as to all persons employed by the Service
<br />Provider and as to all duties, activities and requirements by the Service Provider in performance
<br />of the Work and Service Provider shall assume exclusive liability therefor, and meet all
<br />requirements thereunder pursuant to any rules or regulations that are now or may be promulgated
<br />in connection therewith.
<br />14. Employment/Conflict of Interest. The Service Provider warrants that it has not employed
<br />or retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for the
<br />Service Provider, to solicit or secure this Agreement and that it has not paid or agreed to pay any
<br />company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for the Service Provider,
<br />any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gifts, or any other consideration, contingent
<br />upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation of this
<br />warranty, the City shall have the right to annul this Agreement without liability or, in its
<br />discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration or otherwise recover, the full
<br />amount of such fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or contingent fee. Further, it is
<br />recognized that Service Provider may or will be performing professional services during the term
<br />of this Agreement for other parties; however, such performance of other services shall not
<br />conflict with or interfere with Service Provider's ability to perform the Work. Service Provider
<br />agrees to resolve any such conflicts of interest in favor of the City.
