6.2.A. - Page 35
<br />16. Develoner Not Agent of Citv. Neither Developer nor Developer's contractors,
<br />subcontractors, agents, officers, or employees are agents or employees of City and the
<br />Developer's relationship to City, if any, arising herefrom is strictly that of an independent
<br />contractor.
<br />17. Indemnification.
<br />17.1 Neither the City, nor its officers, agents nor employees, shall be liable or
<br />responsible for any accident, injury, loss, or damage to either property or person attributable to or
<br />arising out of the construction or installation of the Improvements. Developer shall indemnify,
<br />hold harmless and defend the City, its officers, agents and employees, from and against any and
<br />all losses, claims, costs, expenses, liabilities, damages, actions, causes of action and judgments,
<br />including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or attributable to Developer's performance
<br />under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Developer shall not be obligated under this
<br />Agreement to defend and/or indemnify the City to the extent that any of the damage or injury is
<br />caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, agents or
<br />employees.
<br />17.2 Developer's obligations under this Section 17 are not conditioned or
<br />dependent upon the City, or its officers, agents and employees, whether the City prepared,
<br />supplied or reviewed any Improvement Plans or related specifications in connection with the
<br />Improvements, or whether the City has insurance or other indemnification covering any of these
<br />matters.
<br />17.3 Developer's obligation to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City
<br />shall extend to injuries to persons and damages to or alleged taking of property resulting from the
<br />design or construction of the Improvements required herein, and shall likewise extend to adjacent
<br />property owners asserting claims based upon the diversion of waters caused by the Developer's
<br />design or construction of public drainage systems, streets, and other public facilities or
<br />Improvements. The City's acceptance of the Improvements shall not constitute an assumption by
<br />the City of any responsibility or liability for any damage or alleged taking of property referenced
<br />herein. City shall not be responsible or liable for the design or construction of the Improvements
<br />constructed or installed pursuant to the approved Improvements Plans or the Parcel Map. After
<br />City's acceptance of the Improvements, the Developer shall remain obligated to correct or
<br />eliminate all dangerous conditions created by defects in design or construction; provided,
<br />however, that the Developer shall not be responsible for routine maintenance. Developer's
<br />obligations hereunder shall remain in effect for ten (10) years following acceptance of the
<br />Improvements by the City Council. Developer acknowledges and agrees that Developer shall be
<br />responsible and liable for the design and construction of the Improvements and other work done
<br />pursuant to this Agreement, and City shall not be liable for any acts or omissions in approving,
<br />reviewing, checking, correcting or modifying any Improvement Plans or related specifications,
<br />or in inspecting, reviewing or approving any work or construction of Improvements. The
<br />Developer's improvement security shall not be required to secure the Developer's obligations
<br />under this Subsection 17.3 beyond the one-year guarantee and warranty period. If, in any judicial
<br />proceedings involving statutory immunity under the Government Claims Act (Government Code
<br />Sections 810, et seq.) asserted by the City, or its officers, agents or employees, is determined
<br />by a court of competent jurisdiction to be inapplicable or unavailable to immunize the City,
