� Jt <br /> CITY OF SANTA ANA <br /> to reject any proposed Subcontractor(s). Subcontractors shall be the responsibility of the <br /> prime Contractor and the City shall assume no liability of such Subcontractors. <br /> O. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR <br /> Contractor is considered an independent Contractor and neither Contractor, its employees, <br /> nor anyone working under Contractor will be considered an agent or an employee of City. <br /> Neither Contractor, its employees, nor anyone working under Contractor, will qualify for <br /> workers' compensation or other fringe benefits of any kind through City. <br /> P. JOINT OFFERS/SUBCONSULTANTS <br /> Where two or more Proposers desire to submit a single Proposal in response to this RFP, <br /> they should do so on a prime sub-consultant basis. The City intends to contract with a single <br /> firm and not with multiple firms doing business as a joint venture. Should the use of sub- <br /> consultants be offered, the Proposer shall provide the same assurances of competence for <br /> the sub-consultant plus the demonstrated ability to manage and supervise the subcontracted <br /> work. Sub-consultants shall not be allowed to further subcontract with others for work under <br /> the Agreement. The provisions of the Agreement shall apply to all sub-consultants in the <br /> same manner as the Proposer. <br /> The City reserves the right to reject, replace and approve any and all Subcontractors. All <br /> Subcontractor(s) shall be identified in the response to the RFP and the City reserves the right <br /> to reject any proposed Subcontractor(s). Subcontractors shall be the responsibility of the <br /> prime Contractor and the City shall assume no liability of such Subcontractors. <br /> Q. LITIGATION STATUS <br /> Each Proposer must include in its proposal a complete disclosure of any alleged significant <br /> prior or ongoing contract failures, any civil or criminal litigation or investigation pending which <br /> involves the Proposer or in which the Proposer has been judged guilty or liable. Failure to <br /> comply with the terms of this provision will disqualify any proposal. The City reserves the <br /> right to reject any proposal based upon the Proposer's prior history with the City or with any <br /> other party, which documents, without limitation, unsatisfactory performance, adversarial or <br /> contentious demeanor, significant failure(s) to meet contract milestones or other contractual <br /> failures. <br /> R. NEGOTIATIONS <br /> The City reserves the right to negotiate final contract terms with any Proposer selected. The <br /> contract between the parties will consist of the RFP together with any modifications thereto, <br /> and the awarded Contractor's proposal, together with any modifications and clarifications <br /> thereto that are submitted at the request of the City during the evaluation and negotiation <br /> process. In the event of any conflict or contradiction between or among these documents, <br /> the documents shall control in the following order of precedence: the final executed contract, <br /> the RFP, any modifications and clarifications to the awarded Contractor's proposal, and the <br /> awarded Contractor's proposal. Specific exceptions to this general rule may be noted in the <br /> final executed contract. <br /> Negotiations shall be confidential and not subject to disclosure to competing Contractors <br /> unless and until an agreement is reached. If contract negotiations cannot be concluded <br /> successfully, the City reserves the right to negotiate a contract with another Contractor or <br /> withdraw the RFP. <br /> RF Y.99-WM Digital Marquees for MMpTegl cations -W3J9P?6f 61 <br />
