Contractors working on projects over the above thresholds must, in filling craft job
<br />requirements, utilize and be bound by the registration facilities and referral systems
<br />established and authorized by the Unions who are signatory to the agreement. This is
<br />commonly referred to a Union hiring hall.
<br />Contractors retain the right to reject any applicant referred to them through the job referra
<br />system, determine competency of all employees, to determine the number of employees
<br />required, and the duties of such employees. If any Union's registration and referral system
<br />does not fulfill the requirements for specific classifications requested by any Contractor within
<br />48 hours, the Contractor may employ applicants meeting such classifications from any other
<br />available source.
<br />Contractor will work with the City's Labor Compliance Contractor to ensure compliance
<br />with the CWA.

<br />Contractor agrees to and shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents,
<br />employees, consultants, special counsel, and representatives from liability: (1) for personal
<br />injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims
<br />for personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the
<br />direct or indirect operations of the Contractor or its contractors, subcontractors, agents,
<br />employees, or other persons acting on their behalf which relates to the services described in
<br />section 1 of this Agreement; and (2) from any claim that personal injury, damages, just

<br />harmless, and pay all costs for the defense of the City, including fees and costs for special
<br />counsel to be selected by the City, regarding any action by a third party challenging the validity
<br />of this Agreement, or asserting that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution,
<br />judicial or equitable relief due to personal or property rights arises by reason of the terms of, or
<br />effects arising from this Agreement. City may make all reasonable decisions with respect to its
<br />representation in any legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
