employees and other persons as may be required by law. Such policy of insurance, if any, shall be
endorsed to include the Town as a Certificate Holder.

made” basis. Such insurance shall be endorsed to name the Town as Certificate Holde r and name
the Town, and its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents as additional insured parties.
3.2. Additional Requirements for All Policies. In addition to specific requirements imposed on
insurance by this Section 3. INSURANCE and its subsections, insurance shall conform to all of the following:
A. For Required Insurance and other insurance carried by Contractor (“Contractor Insurance”), all
policies of insurance shall be primary insurance, and any insurance carried by the Town, its officers,
or its employees shall be excess and not contributory insurance to that provided by the Contractor;
provided, however, that the Town shall not be o bligated to obtain or maintain any insurance

3.3. Failure to Obtain or Maintain Insurance. The Contractor’s failure to obtain and continuously
maintain policies of insurance in accordance with this Section 3. INSURANCE and its subsections shall not
limit, prevent, preclude, excuse, or modify any liability, claims, demands, or other obligations of the Contractor
arising from performance or non-performance of this Agreement. Failure on the part of the Contractor to
obtain and to continuously maintain policies providing the required coverage, conditions, restrictions, notices,
and minimum limits shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement upon which the Town may
immediately terminate this Agreement, or, at its discretion, the Town may procure or renew any such policy
or any extended reporting period thereto and may pay any and all premiums in connection therewith, and all
monies so paid by the Town shall be repaid by Contractor to the Town immediately upon demand by the
Town, or at the Town’s sole discretion, the Town may offset the cost of the premium s against any monies
due to the Contractor from the Town pursuant to this Agreement.

Article 10, Part 1 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.
7. Affirmative Action: Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Contractor will take affirmative action to

color, religion, sex, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination;
rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.
8. No Third-Party Beneficiaries: Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall create a
contractual relationship with, cause of action in favor of, or claim for relief for, any third -party, including any
agent, sub-consultant, or sub-contractor of Contractor. Absolutely no third-party beneficiaries are intended

for Services due under the Agreement and that the Town shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special,

all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, arising
out of the performance of the Services, provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused by
any negligent act or omission of Contractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by Contractor or anyone
for whose acts Contractor may be liable, except to the extent any portion is caused in part by a party
indemnified hereunder.
11. Governing Law, Venue, and Enforcement: This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
according to the law of the State of Colorado. Venue for any action arising under this Agreement shall be in
the appropriate court for Eagle County, Colorado. To reduce the cost of dispute resolution and to expedite
the resolution of disputes under this Agreement, the Parties hereby waive any and all right either may have
to request a jury trial in any civil action relating primarily to the enforcement of this Agreement. The Parties
agree the rule providing ambiguities in a contract are to be construed against the drafting party shall not apply
to the interpretation of this Agreement. If there is any conflict between the language of this Agreement and
any exhibit or attachment, the language of this Agreement shall govern.
12. Term. The provision of Services under this Agreement shall commence on May 3rd, 2024 (the
“Effective Date”) and will terminate on Oct 31, 2024 (cumulatively, the “Term”); provided, however, under
no circumstances will the Term exceed the end of the current Town Fiscal year (January 1 – December 31).
The Contractor understands and agrees that the Town has no obligation to extend this Agreement’s Term or
contract for the provision of any future services, and makes no warranties or representations otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may mutually agree in writing to the monthly extension of this
Agreement for up to twelve (12) consecutive calendar months if such e xtension is approved by the Town
Council and the Contractor and such extension do not alter or amend any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement.
13. Article X, Section 20/TABOR. The Parties understand and acknowledge that the Town is subject
to Article X, § 20 of the Colorado Constitution (“TABOR”). The Parties do not intend to violate the terms and
requirements of TABOR by the execution of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement
does not create a multi-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or obligation within the meaning of TABOR and,
therefore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all payment obligations of the Town
are expressly dependent and conditioned upon the continuing availability of funds bey ond the term of the
Town’s current fiscal period ending upon the next succeeding December 31. Financial obligations of the
Town payable after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose being appropriated,
budgeted, and otherwise made available in accordance with the rules, regulations, and resolutions of Town
of Avon, and other applicable laws. Upon the failure to appropriate such funds, this Agreement shall be
terminated.
14. Background Check. A background check of Contractor and any Contractor’s employees or
subcontractors may be required by the Town. Contractor can provide proof of a CBI check within the past six
(6) months and shall provide a copy prior to the commencement of any Services (this can be acquired online
by going to www.colorado.gov) or the Town will conduct the background check and provide a submission
form to be completed by the Contractor.
15. Assignability. The Contractor shall not assign this Agreement without the Town’s prior written
consent.

16. Survival Clause. The “Indemnification” provision set forth in this Agreement shall survive the
completion of the Services and the satisfaction, expiration, or termination of this Agreement.
17. Severability. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement
invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this
Agreement.
18. Attorney’s Fees. Should this Agreement become the subject of litigation between the Town and
Contractor, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of all actual costs in connection therewith,
including but not limited to recovery of all actual costs in connection therewith, including but not limited to
attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees. All rights concerning remedies and/or attorneys’ fees shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.
