CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
This Contract for Construction ("Contract"), No. C37960E, is made and entered into this 18th day
of November, 2021, by and between City of Palm Desert, a Charter City and municipal
corporation, organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business
at 73-510 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260, sometimes hereinafter called the
"City" and R Dependable Construction, Inc. of San Bernardino, California, sometimes
hereinafter called "Contractor."
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK.
The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide
all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete all of the
Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents as specified in Article 5, below,
for the following Project:

Project No. 765-19
Work consists of demolition of the existing finishes and restrooms, replacement of all
finishes, full restroom renovations, and upgrades of existing improvements to comply with
current ADA standards (access doors, ramp, handrails, and paths of travel).
The Contractor is an independent contractor and not an agent of the City. The Contractor and
its surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor's failure
to comply with this obligation.
ARTICLE 2. TIME FOR COMPLETION.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the
date stated in the City's Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work required by
the Contract Documents within 100 Days from the commencement date stated in the Notice to
Proceed. By its signature hereunder, Contractor agrees the time for completion set forth above is
adequate and reasonable to complete the Work.
ARTICLE 3. CONTRACT PRICE.
The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract,
subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and including all
applicable taxes and costs, the sum of Nine hundred twenty-five thousand and 00/100 Dollars

ARTICLE 4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each and every Day
completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature of the
Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City's actual damages.
Accordingly, in accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, it is agreed that the
Contractor will pay the City the sum of $2,000 for each and every Day of delay beyond the time
prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing the Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as
a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this is not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that
amount from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. This
Section does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents.
Liquidated damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor, Project retention
or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These provisions for
liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's default, from terminating
the Contractor.

of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the

operations (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 37 07 04) of Contractor.
12. Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required
herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of

13. Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all
additional insureds ensuring that Contractor's insurance shall apply separately to
each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect
to the insurer's limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross -liability
exclusions.

coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor
agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and
others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.

notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the
Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor's compensation.
If the City reduces the insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect
immediately and require no advanced written notice.
16. Self -Insured Retentions. Any self -insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self -insured retentions be
eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be
considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
17. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of
