<br />Lenora Regional SW Facility Division C – CONTRACT Nov. 2025 <br />Work Order # UP3792 SP - lxxii <br />+ WA Sales Tax (as applicable) <br />Contract Sum <br />This is based on the proposal/bid submitted by Contractor dated ________________. A copy of such <br />proposal/bid is attached hereto. The basis for final payment will be the actual amount of work performed <br />according to the Contract Documents and payments, whether partial or final, shall be made as specified <br />therein. <br />5. Withholding. Five percent (5%) of amounts due Contractor shall be retained and withheld to comply <br />with RCW Chap. 60.28. Retained amounts shall only be released: (A) as required by law or (B) sixty (60) <br />days after completion of all contract work if there are no claims against the retained funds. In addition to the <br />amounts required by RCW 60.28 to be withheld from the progress or retained percentage payments to the <br />Contractor, the City may, in its sole discretion, withhold any amounts sufficient to pay any claim against the <br />Contractor of which the City may have knowledge and regardless of the informalities of notice of such claim <br />arising out of the performance of this Contract. The City may withhold the amount until either the Contractor <br />secures a written release from the claimant, obtains a court decision that such claim is without merit, or <br />satisfies any judgment in favor of the claimant on such claim. The City shall not be liable for interest during <br />the period the funds are so held. <br />6. Compliance with Employment and Wage Laws. Contractor agrees to comply with all state and federal <br />laws relating to the employment of labor and wage rates to be paid. <br />7. Vacant <br />8. Indemnification. <br />A. Contractor will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City from any and all Claims arising out of or <br />relating to any acts, errors, omissions, or conduct by Contractor in connection with its performance of this <br />Contract, including without limitation (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing) all Claims resulting <br />from Contractor’s performance of, or failure to perform, its express and implied obligations under the <br />Contract. The Contractor will defend and indemnify and hold harmless the City whether a Claim is asserted <br />directly against the City, or whether a Claim is asserted indirectly against the City, e.g., a Claim is asserted <br />against someone else who then seeks contribution or indemnity from the City. The amount of insurance <br />obtained by, obtainable by, or required of the Contractor does not in any way limit the Contractor’s duty to <br />defend and indemnify the City. The City retains the right to approve Claims investigation and counsel <br />assigned to said Claim and all investigation and legal work regarding said Claim shall be performed under a <br />fiduciary relationship to the City. This Section 8 is in addition to any other defense or indemnity or hold <br />harmless obligation in the Contract Documents. <br />B. The Contractor’s obligations under this Section 8 shall not apply to Claims caused by the sole negligence <br />of the City. If (1) RCW 4.24.115 applies to a particular Claim, and (2) such Claim is caused by or results <br />from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Contractor and (b) the City, then the Contractor’s liability under this <br />Section 8 shall be only to the extent of the Contractor’s negligence. <br />C. As used in this section: (1) “City” includes the City’s officers, employees, agents, and representatives; (2) <br />“Claims” include all losses, claims, demands, expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and <br />litigation expenses), suits, judgments, or damage, whether threatened, asserted or filed against the City, <br />whether such Claims sound in tort, contract, or any other legal theory, whether such Claims have been <br />reduced to judgment or arbitration award, irrespective of the type of relief sought or demanded (such as <br />money or injunctive relief), and irrespective of the type of damage alleged (such as bodily injury, damage to
