City of East Lansing Required Contract Terms.

The contractual obligations contained herein are incorporated into the terms of the contract to

which they are attached.

Civil Rights Ordinance. Contractor agrees that it will comply with the City’s Civil Rights

Ordinance, Article II, Chapter 22 of the Code of the City of East Lansing, which in part requires

that an employer not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment with respect

to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment including benefit plan or system, or

a matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of religion, race, color, national

origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,

student status, because of the use by an individual of adaptive devices or aids, or because of an

arrest record when a conviction did not result, except as allowed under Section 22-33(b)(6) of

Chapter 22. An employer may apply to the City Human Relations Commission for an exemption

on the basis that religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, sexual orientation,

gender identity or expression, or student status is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably

necessary to the normal operation of the business or enterprise. Further, for contracts in which the

total contract price will be $20,000.00 or more, the City’s Civil Rights ordinance also prohibits

discrimination on the basis of marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression

by the Contractor failing to provide employment benefits for employees with domestic partners

that it otherwise provides for the spouse of a married employee. These requirements of Article II,

Chapter 22, shall be considered material terms of this Agreement, and breach of any of these

requirements will be regarded as a material breach of this Agreement.

Independent Contractors. The parties agree that Contractor is an independent contractor as that

term is commonly used and Contractor’s employees are not and shall not be considered

subcontractors or employees of the City and has no authority to bind the City in any manner.

Contractor shall be solely responsible for the withholding and reporting of all federal, state, and

local income and employment taxes. Contractor acknowledges that it is not insured in any manner

through the City for any bodily injury, personal injury, or property loss whatsoever.

Limitation of Liability. Except for indemnification pursuant to the original agreement neither

party shall be liable to the other, or any of their respective agents, representatives, or employees

for any lost revenue, lost profits, loss of technology, rights or services, incidental, punitive,

indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of data, or interruption or loss of use of service,

even if advised of the possibility of such damages, whether under theory of contract, tort (including

negligence), strict liability or otherwise.

Liability Insurance and Indemnity. Contractor shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect

during the entire term of this agreement insurance set forth in the attached Exhibit A.

Non-Assignment. The parties agree that there shall be no authority on the part of Contractor to

subcontract, assign, or otherwise dispose of any portion of the services to be performed herein

without the prior written approval of the City. In the event that the City approves a subcontract,

assignment, or disposition, Contractor solely shall be responsible for managing, directing, and

paying the subcontractors or assignees, and the City shall have no obligations whatsoever toward

said subcontractors or assignees. Consent to subcontract, assign, or otherwise dispose of any

portion of this Agreement shall not be construed to relieve Contractor of any responsibility for the

fulfillment of this Agreement.

It is the Contractors responsibility to verify all permits that are required for the installation and

takedown of the Holiday Decorations and the payment of the fees associated with all permits and

any penalties fees. It is the Contractors responsibility to submit all Notifications required, to the

any employee or applicant for employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions,

of privileges of employment, or a matter directly or indirectly related to employment,

because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, or marital

status." Also incorporated by reference is Section 205a of Article 2 which prohibits

discrimination on the basis of “arrest, detention, or disposition of a violation of law in

which a conviction did not result”. However, Section 205a shall not apply to information

relative to a felony charge before conviction or dismissal. Breach of this covenant may be

regarded as a material breach of this contract. Contractor, pursuant to Section 208 of the

Act, may apply to the State Civil Rights Commission for an exemption to the appropriate

section of Article 2 of the Act on the basis that religion, national origin, age, height,

weight, or sex is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the

normal operation of the business or enterprise. Upon sufficient showing, the Commission

may grant an exemption to the appropriate section of Article 2 of the Act. An employer

may have a bona fide occupational qualification on the basis of religion, national origin,

sex, age, marital status, height or weight without obtaining prior exemption from the

Commission, provided that an employer who does not obtain an exemption shall have the

burden of establishing that the qualification is reasonably necessary to the normal

operation of the business.
