8
of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and including termination
of this Agreement. Services Provider is subject to a penalty of$100 per day
for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000 per

A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Services Provider who works under this Agreement to ensure that the
Services Provider is complying with the warranty. Any inspection will be
conducted after reasonable notice and at reasonable times. If state law is
amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph consistent with state law.
24. TIME OF ESSENCE: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each
provision hereof.
25. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL: The Parties understand and acknowledge this
Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider's
timely filing of complete and correct reports for the 4th quarter of the previous

contracting with a contractor or organization who engage in boycotts of the
State of Israel. Should Services Provider under this Agreement engage in any
such boycott against the State of Israel, this Agreement is automatically
terminated. Any such boycott is a material breach of contract and will subject
Services Provider to monetary damages, including but not limited to,
consequential and liquidated damages.
27. CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO A.R.S. § 35-394: In accordance with Arizona
Revised Statutes § 35-394, Services Provider hereby certifies and agrees that
Services Provider does not currently and shall not for the duration of this
Agreement use: 1) the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic
of China, 2) any services or goods produced by the forced labor of ethnic
Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China, and/or 3) any suppliers,

Republic of China. If Services Provider becomes aware during the term of this
Agreement that Services Provider is not in compliance with this Section, then
Services Provider shall notify the City within five (5) business days after
becoming aware of such noncompliance. If Services Provider does not
provide the City with written certification that Services Provider has remedied
such noncompliance within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after
notifying the City of such noncompliance, this Agreement shall terminate,
9
except that if the Agreement termination date occurs before the end of such
one hundred eighty (180) calendar day remedy period, this Agreement shall
terminate on such contract termination date.

that any apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if possible, by construing
the provisions as mutually complementary and supplementary.
20. SEVERABILITY: City and Services Provider each believe that the execution,
delivery, and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all
applicable laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this
Agreement is declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring
City to do any act in violation of any applicable laws, including any
constitutional provision, law, regulation, or city code), such provision shall be
deemed severed from this Agreement and this Agreement shall otherwise
remain in full force and effect; provided that this Agreement shall retroactively
be deemed reformed to the extent reasonably possible in such a manner so
7
that the reformed agreement (and any related agreements effective as of the
same date) provide essentially the same rights and benefits (economic and
otherwise) to the Parties as if such severance and reformation were not
required. Unless prohibited by applicable laws, the Parties further shall
perform all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or deliver all amendments,
instruments and consents necessary to accomplish and to give effect to the
purposes of this Agreement, as reformed.
21. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: This Agreement is subject to, and may be
terminated by City in accordance with, the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-
511.
22. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES: As a community service-based organization,
Services Provider is a non-political organization. Its employees are
prohibited from engaging in any partisan political activity with respect to
candidates for political office beyond the private expression of personal
opinion, registering as a member of a political party, signing nomination
petitions and voting in any special, primary or general election. No board
member, officer or employee of Services Provider shall solicit any
contribution in cash or services from any Services Provider employee to
support any candidate for public office. No board member or officer shall
use the name of Services Provider, or use their affiliation with Services
Provider, to engage in any partisan political activity or form of lobbying,
of any kind or to solicit any contribution in cash or services to support
any candidate for public office. If a board member or officer should
engage in said political candidate activities, they shall make it clear that
they are doing so in their personal and private capacity, and are not
associated with Services Provider in any way, while engaging in said
activity. The functions and activities of Services Provider are non-
political with respect to candidates for political office. Therefore, all
board members, officers and employees will refrain from engaging in any
partisan political activity or any form of lobbying, of whatsoever type or
nature, while attending or participating in Services Provider function or
event. This includes the circulation or signing of nomination petitions or
soliciting any contributions in cash or services from anyone to support
any candidate for public office. The above prohibition on lobbying
includes communicating with commission members and councilmembers
for the purpose of gaining an advantage in receiving health and human
services funding.
23. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Services Provider
understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with
Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug
Free Workplace Act of 1989 to the SOW. As required by A.R.S. § 41-4401,
Services Provider hereby warrants its compliance with all federal immigration
laws and regulations that relate to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-214(A).
Services Provider further warrants that after hiring an employee, Services
Provider will verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the E-
Verify program. A breach of this warranty shall be deemed a material breach
8
of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and including termination
of this Agreement. Services Provider is subject to a penalty of$100 per day
for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000 per
day for the third violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement
after the third violation. Services Provider shall not be deemed in material
breach of this Agreement if the Services Provider establish compliance with
the employment verification provisions of§§ 274A and 274E of the federal
Immigration and Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in
A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Services Provider who works under this Agreement to ensure that the
Services Provider is complying with the warranty. Any inspection will be
conducted after reasonable notice and at reasonable times. If state law is
amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph consistent with state law.
24. TIME OF ESSENCE: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each
provision hereof.
25. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL: The Parties understand and acknowledge this
Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider's
timely filing of complete and correct reports for the 4th quarter of the previous
fiscal year (if prior year's funding was provided by City). The 4th quarter
reports shall be filed within the deadlines established by the prior agreement
and must contain the required information as set forth in the prior agreement.
26. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH SERVICES PROVIDER WHO ENGAGE IN
BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL: The Parties acknowledge A.R.S.
§§ 35-393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from
contracting with a contractor or organization who engage in boycotts of the
State of Israel. Should Services Provider under this Agreement engage in any
such boycott against the State of Israel, this Agreement is automatically
terminated. Any such boycott is a material breach of contract and will subject
Services Provider to monetary damages, including but not limited to,
consequential and liquidated damages.
27. CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO A.R.S. § 35-394: In accordance with Arizona
Revised Statutes § 35-394, Services Provider hereby certifies and agrees that
Services Provider does not currently and shall not for the duration of this
Agreement use: 1) the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's
Republic of China, 2) any services or goods produced by the forced labor of
ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China, and/or 3) any suppliers,
contractors or subcontractors that use the forced labor or any services or
goods produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's
Republic of China. If Services Provider becomes aware during the term of
this Agreement that Services Provider is not in compliance with this Section,
then Services Provider shall notify the City within five (5) business days after
becoming aware of such noncompliance. If Services Provider does not
provide the City with written certification that Services Provider has
remedied such noncompliance within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days
after notifying the City of such noncompliance, this Agreement shall
9
terminate, except that if the Agreement termination date occurs before the
end of such one hundred eighty (180) calendar day remedy period, this
Agreement shall terminate on such contract termination date.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed

they are doing so in their personal and private capacity, and are not
associated with Services Provider in any way, while engaging in said
activity. The functions and activities of Services Provider are non-
political with respect to candidates for political office. Therefore, all
board members, officers and employees will refrain from engaging in any
partisan political activity or any form of lobbying, of whatsoever type or
nature, while attending or participating in Services Provider function or

activity. The functions and activities of Services Provider are non-
political with respect to candidates for political office. Therefore, all
board members, officers and employees will refrain from engaging in any
partisan political activity or any form of lobbying, of whatsoever type or
nature, while attending or participating in Services Provider function or

Services Provider who works under this Agreement to ensure that the
Services Provider is complying with the warranty. Any inspection will be
conducted after reasonable notice and at reasonable times. If state law is
amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph consistent with state law.

provision hereof.

Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider's

such boycott against the State of Israel, this Agreement is automatically
terminated. Any such boycott is a material breach of contract and will subject
Services Provider to monetary damages, including but not limited to,

use the name of Services Provider, or use their affiliation with Services
Provider, to engage in any partisan political activity or form of lobbying,
of any kind or to solicit any contribution in cash or services to support
any candidate for public office. If a board member or officer should
engage in said political candidate activities, they shall make it clear that
they are doing so in their personal and private capacity, and are not
associated with Services Provider in any way, while engaging in said
activity. The functions and activities of Services Provider are non-
political with respect to candidates for political office. Therefore, all
board members, officers and employees will refrain from engaging in any
partisan political activity or any form of lobbying, of whatsoever type or
nature, while attending or participating in Services Provider function or
event. This includes the circulation or signing of nomination petitions or
soliciting any contributions in cash or services from anyone to support
any candidate for public office. The above prohibition on lobbying
includes communicating with commission members and councilmembers
for the purpose of gaining an advantage in receiving health and human
services funding.
23. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Services Provider
understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with
Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug
Free Workplace Act of 1989 to the SOW. As required by A.R.S. § 41-4401,
Services Provider hereby warrants its compliance with all federal immigration
laws and regulations that relate to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-214(A).
Services Provider further warrants that after hiring an employee, Services
8
Provider will verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the E-

of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and including termination
of this Agreement. Services Provider is subject to a penalty of$100 per day
for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000 per

the employment verification provisions of§§ 274A and 274B of the federal
Immigration and Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in
A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Services Provider who works under this Agreement to ensure that the
Services Provider is complying with the warranty. Any inspection will be
conducted after reasonable notice and at reasonable times. If state law is
amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph consistent with state law.
24. TIME OF ESSENCE: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each
provision hereof.
25. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL: The Parties understand and acknowledge this
Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider's
timely filing of complete and correct reports for the 4th quarter of the previous
fiscal year (if prior year's funding was provided by City). The 4th quarter

and must contain the required information as set forth in the prior agreement.
26. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH SERVICES PROVIDER WHO ENGAGE IN
BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL: The Parties acknowledge A.R.S.
§§ 35-393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from
contracting with a contractor or organization who engage in boycotts of the
State of Israel. Should Services Provider under this Agreement engage in any
such boycott against the State of Israel, this Agreement is automatically
terminated. Any such boycott is a material breach of contract and will subject
Services Provider to monetary damages, including but not limited to,
consequential and liquidated damages.
27. CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO A.R.S. § 35-394: In accordance with Arizona
Revised Statutes § 35-394, Services Provider hereby certifies and agrees
that Services Provider does not currently and shall not for the duration of
this Agreement use: 1) the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's
Republic of China, 2) any services or goods produced by the forced labor of
ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China, and/or 3) any suppliers,

goods produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's
Republic of China. If Services Provider becomes aware during the term of
this Agreement that Services Provider is not in compliance with this Section,
then Services Provider shall notify the City within five (5) business days after
becoming aware of such noncompliance. If Services Provider does not
provide the City with written certification that Services Provider has

MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Mayor& City Councilmembers
MEMORANDUM THRU: Bryant Powell, City Manager
Matt Busby, Assistant City Manager
Ryan Kaup, Economic Development Director
MEMORANDUM FROM: Brock Severson, Economic Development Specialist
SUBJECT: Recommendation for the Contract Extension of Local
Visitor Center
Since 1988, the City of Apache Junction has contracted with the local Chamber of Commerce to
operate a visitor center. Visitor centers help promote Arizona communities, their attractions,
destinations, dining options, and hospitality amenities. Primarily operated by local chambers of
commerce or visitor bureaus, these information centers often serve as a visitor's first stop,
giving cities the opportunity to provide a positive first impression of the surrounding area and
Arizona.
Our current contract for these services is with the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and
has a term ending June 30, 2026. According to the City's Procurement Procedures, professional
services for travel and tourism center or marketing efforts are exempt from releasing a Request
for Qualifications.
To find the most qualified provider, staff utilizes the Arizona Office of Tourism (AOT) as a
resource to find a provider that is affiliated with AOT's accredited Arizona Visitor Information
Center (AVIC) program. Being a State-accredited visitor center means the provider has been
vetted, meets established guidelines, receives exposure with listings on official Visit Arizona
publications, and is operating as per requirements of the State's program (Exhibit A).
Staff is recommending the City continues to contract for visitor center services with the Apache
Junction Chamber of Commerce for the following reasons:
• The City of Apache Junction does not have a physical facility to house these services,
nor the staffing capacity to operate a facility
• The Chamber of Commerce is an AOT-accredited visitor center and intends to maintain
their status as such.
• The current Apache Junction Visitor Center is one of the most trafficked visitor centers in
Arizona, has demonstrated the ability to perform, receives positive reviews from visitors,
and operates a volunteer-run facility which is well-located in our downtown.

In our current contract with the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce ending June 301n
2026, the contracted amounts increase four percent year-over-year, with $58,400 as the amount
that was due for this fiscal year. Staff respectfully requests Council approve a new three-year
contract, with options for two one-year extensions, and the continuation of the four percent
annual escalator. The following amounts are listed below, paid quarterly and subject to Council-
appropriation of funds:
• FY 26/27: $60,736.00
• FY 27/28: $63,166.00
• FY 28/29: $65,692.00
Extension Options:
• FY 29/30: $68,320.00
• FY 30/31: $71,052.00
Staff will provide a presentation on this item for the June 1, 2026, Work Session and then plan
to bring this item back on the June 16, 2026, Regular Meeting consent agenda.

companies duly licensed, possessing a current A.M. Best, Inc. Rating of B++6, or
approved unlicensed in the State of Arizona with policies and forms satisfactory
to City.
All insurance required by this Agreement shall be maintained in full force and
effect until the Services are accepted by the City. Failure to do so may, at the sole
discretion of City, constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
2
Consultant's insurance shall be primary insurance as respects the City, and any
insurance or self-insurance maintained by City shall not contribute to it.
Any failure to comply with the claim reporting provisions of the insurance policies
or any breach of an insurance policy warranty shall not affect coverage afforded
under the insurance policies to protect City.
The insurance policies, except Workers' Compensation, shall contain a waiver of
transfer rights of recovery (subrogation) against City, its agents, officers, officials
and employees for any claims arising out of Consultant's acts, errors, mistakes,
omissions, work or service.
The insurance policies may provide coverage which contains deductibles or self-
insured retentions. Such deductible and/or self-insured retentions shall not be
applicable with respect to the coverage provided to City under such policies.
Consultant shall be solely responsible for the deductible and/or self retention and
City, at its option, may require Consultant to secure payment of such deductibles
or self-insured retentions by a surety bond or an irrevocable and unconditional
letter of credit.
The insurance policies required by this Agreement, except Workers'
Compensation and Professional Liability, shall name City, its elected officials,
agents, officers, and employees as Additional Insured Parties.
Consultant shall expressly bind any subcontractors, or any other lower tier
subcontractors, used in the performance of any aspect of the Services, to the
insurance requirements in this Agreement, making such obligations applicable to
the other subcontractor to the same extent as it is applicable to Consultant. The
purpose of this provision is to require any lower tier subcontractor, regardless of
level, to provide insurance and indemnity required by this Agreement.

the Term Commercial General Liability insurance with a limit of not less than
$1,000,000 for each occurrence with a $2,000,000 Products/Completed

include coverage for bodily injury, broad form property damage, personal injury,
products and completed operations and blanket contractual coverage including,
but not limited to, the liability assumed under the indemnification provisions of
this Agreement, which coverage will be at least as broad as that on Insurance
Service Office, Inc. Policy Form No. CG 00011093, or the equivalent thereof.
Such policies shall contain a severability of interest provision and shall not
contain a sunset provision or commutation clause, nor any provision which would
serve to limit third party action over claims.
3
The Commercial General Liability additional insured endorsement shall be at
least as broad as the Insurance Service Office, Inc.'s Additional Insured, Form B,
CG 20101185, or the equivalent thereof, and shall include coverage for
Consultant's operations and products and completed operations.

Consultant's Protective Liability insurance policy for bodily injury and property
damage, including death, which may arise in the prosecution of the Services.

per occurrence, and the policy shall be issued by the same insurance company
that issues Consultant's Commercial General Liability insurance.

Automobile Liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and
property damage of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence with respect to
Consultant's owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles assigned to or used in
performance of the Services. Coverage will be at least as broad as coverage code
1, "any auto", (Insurance Service Office, Inc. Policy Form CA 00011293, or the
equivalent thereof). Such insurance shall include coverage for loading and off-
loading hazards. If hazardous substances, materials or wastes are to be

requires every employer to be insured against liability for workers'
compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter, and I will comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the Services of this Agreement."

required by federal or state statutes, Consultant shall submit a declaration or
affidavit to City so stating and covenanting to obtain such insurance if and when
Consultant employs any employees subject to coverage.

Consultant shall furnish City with Certificates of Insurance, or formal
endorsements as required by the Agreement, issued by Consultant's insurer(s),
as evidence that policies providing the required coverages, conditions and limits
required by this Agreement are in full force and effect. City shall not be obligated,

policies and endorsements, and such receipt shall not relieve Consultant from, or

obligations under this Agreement.

approval of the Apache Junction City Attorney's Office, shall comply with the
terms of this Agreement. Policies or certificates and completed forms of City's

company form acceptable to the City Attorney) evidencing the coverage required

"claims made" basis, coverage shall extend for two (2) years past completion and
acceptance of Consultant's work or services and as evidenced by annual
Certificates of Insurance.

written notice of any nonrenewal, cancellation, or material change in the
coverage under such policy reducing coverage to below the amounts required by
this Agreement. If a policy does expire during the life of the Agreement, a renewal
certificate must be sent to City thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration
date.

Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the State of Arizona. Any action at law or in equity brought by either Party for the
purpose of enforcing a right or rights provided for in this Agreement, shall be tried
in a court of competent jurisdiction in Pinal County, State of Arizona. The Parties
hereby waive all provisions of law providing for a change of venue in such
proceeding to any other county. In the event either Party shall bring suit to
enforce any term of this Agreement or to recover any damages for and on account
of the breach of any term or condition in this Agreement, it is mutually agreed that
5
the prevailing party in such action shall recover all costs including: all litigation
and appeal expenses, collection expenses, reasonable attorney fees, necessary
witness fees and court costs to be determined by the court in such action.
10. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither City nor Consultant, as the case may be,
shall be considered not to have performed its obligations under this Agreement
in the event of enforced delay (an "Enforced Delay") due to causes beyond its
control and without its fault or negligence or failure to comply with applicable
laws, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, fires, floods, epidemics,
pandemics and related executive orders, quarantine, restrictions, embargoes,
labor disputes, and unusually severe weather or the delays of subcontractors or
materialmen due to such causes, acts of a public enemy, war, terrorism or act of
terror (including but not limited to bio-terrorism or eco-terrorism), nuclear
radiation, blockade, insurrection, riot, labor strike or interruption, extortion,
sabotage, or similar occurrence or any exercise of the power of eminent domain
of any governmental body on behalf of any public entity, or a declaration of
moratorium or similar hiatus (whether permanent or temporary) by any public
entity directly affecting the obligations under this Agreement. In no event will
Enforced Delay include any delay resulting from unavailability for any reason of
labor shortages, or the unavailability for any reason of particular consultants,
contractors, subcontractors, vendors or investors desired by Consultant in
connection with the obligations under this Agreement. Consultant agrees that
Consultant alone will bear all risks of delay which are not Enforced Delay. In the
event of the occurrence of any such Enforced Delay, the time or times for
performance of the obligations of the Party claiming delay shall be extended for a
period of the Enforced Delay; provided, however, that the Party seeking the
benefit of the provisions of this Section 10 shall, within thirty (30) calendar days
after such Party knows or should know of any such Enforced Delay, first notify the
other Party of the specific delay in writing and claim the right to an extension for
the period of the Enforced Delay; and provided further that in no event shall a
period of Enforced Delay exceed ninety (90) calendar days.
11. TERMINATION: This Agreement may be terminated by either Party
for any reason upon one hundred twenty (120) calendar days written notice. If
this Agreement is terminated, City shall be reimbursed from Consultant the
amount paid for any undelivered and/or unaccepted products or services. City
shall pay Consultant for completed and acceptable work performed pursuant to
this Agreement prior to the date of termination.
12. INDEMNIFICATION: To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless City, its elected officials
and appointed officers, special districts, agents, and employees from and against
any and all liability including but not limited to demands, claims, actions, fees,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney and expert witness fees,
arising from, or alleged to have arisen from, relating to, arising out of, or alleged
to have resulted from the acts, errors, mistakes, omissions, work or services of
6
Consultant, its agents, employees, or any tier of Consultant's subcontractors in
the performance of the Services under this Agreement, but only to the extent
caused by the negligence, recklessness or intentional wrongful conduct of
Consultant or its subcontractors in the performance of the Services or any
subcontract. Consultant's duty to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify City, its
elected officials and appointed officers, special districts, agents, and employees
shall arise in connection with any claim, damage, loss or expense that is
attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, death, or injury to, impairment, or
destruction of property including loss of use resulting therefrom, caused by
Consultant's acts, errors, mistakes, omissions, work or services in the
performance of this Agreement, including any employee of Consultant, any tier of
Consultant's subcontractor, or any other person for whose acts, errors,
mistakes, omissions, work or services Consultant may be legally liable, but only
to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful
conduct of Consultant or any tier of Consultant's subcontractors, or any other
person for whose acts, errors, mistakes, omissions, work or services Consultant
may be legally liable in the performance of the Services under this Agreement or
any subcontract. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth in this Agreement will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the
indemnity in this Section 12. The rights and obligations under this Section 12 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
13. TAXES: Consultant shall pay as they become due all license, sales,
consumer, transaction privilege, use, and other similar taxes for services
provided by Consultant which are legally enacted at the time the obligations
under this Agreement are performed.
14. PERMITS AND FEES: Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Consultant shall secure and pay for all applicable permits, government fees,
licenses, and inspections necessary for the proper execution and completion of
services which are customarily secured after execution of the Agreement.
Consultant shall give all notices and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, and lawful orders of any public authority bearing on the performance
of the Services. Consultant represents and warrants that any license necessary
to perform the Services is current and valid. Consultant understands that the
activity described in this Agreement constitutes "doing business in the City of
Apache Junction" and Consultant agrees to obtain a business license pursuant to
Chapter 8 of the Apache Junction City Code, Vol. I, and keep such license current
during the Term. Consultant also acknowledges that the tax provision of the
Apache Junction Tax Code, Chapter 8A, may also apply and, if so, shall obtain a
transaction privilege license and/or other licenses as may be required by all
applicable laws. Any activity by Consultant's consultants and subcontractors
within the corporate city limits will invoke the same sales tax and business
licensing regulations on the consultants and subcontractors, and Consultant shall
require and ensure its consultants and subcontractors obtain and keep all
applicable licenses current.
7
15. RECORDS: Records of Consultant's labor, payroll, and other costs
pertaining to this Agreement shall be kept on a generally recognized accounting
basis and made available to City for inspection on request. Consultant shall
maintain records for a period of at least two (2) years after expiration of this
Agreement, and shall make such records available during that retention period
for examination or audit by City personnel during regular business hours.
16. RIGHT OF CITY TO CONTRACT WITH OTHERS: Nothing in this
Agreement shall imply City is obligated to obtain the Services described in this
Agreement only through Consultant.
17. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR: City and Consultant agree and
understand that the relationship between both Parties is that of an independent
contractor. As such, Consultant is not entitled to receive any benefits to which
City employees are entitled by virtue of their employment with City. City shall not
be responsible for payment to employees of Consultant for salaries, related taxes
(including, but not limited to, federal Social Security tax as well as federal and
state unemployment taxes) and all other expenses related to their employment or
contractual relationship with Consultant.
18. WAIVER OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The failure of City or
Consultant to insist in any one or more instances on performance of any of the
terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege
contained herein shall not be considered as thereafter waiving such terms,
conditions, rights or privileges, and they shall remain in full force and effect.
19. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Consultant
understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with Disabilities
Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug Free
Workplace Act of 1989 to the services performed under this Agreement.
As required by A.R.S. §41-4401, Consultant hereby warrants its compliance with
all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and
A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Consultant further warrants that after hiring an employee,
Consultant will verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the E-
Verify program. If Consultant uses any subcontractors in performance of
services, subcontractors shall warrant their compliance with all federal
immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-
214(A), and subcontractors shall further warrant that after hiring an employee,
such subcontractor verifies the employment eligibility of the employee through
the E-Verify program. A breach of this warranty shall be deemed a material
breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and including
termination of this Agreement. Consultant is subject to a penalty of$100 per day
for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000 per day
for the third violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement after the
third violation. Consultant shall not be deemed in material breach of this
8
Agreement if the Consultant and/or subcontractors establish compliance with the
employment verification provisions of Sections 274A and 274B of the federal
Immigration and Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in A.R.S.
§ 23-214(A). City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any consultant,
contractor or subcontractor employee who works under this Agreement to
ensure that the Consultant or subcontractor is complying with the warranty. Any
inspection will be conducted after reasonable notice and at reasonable times. If
state law is amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph consistent with state
law without effectuating an official amendment to this Agreement. Email
notification of the modification would be sufficient notice.
20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement and any attachments
represent the entire agreement between City and Consultant and supersede all
prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either express or implied,
written or oral. It is mutually understood and agreed that no alteration or variation
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing
and signed by the Parties. Written and signed amendments shall automatically
become part of this Agreement and shall supersede any inconsistent provision
therein; provided, however, that any apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if
possible, by construing the provisions as mutually complementary and
supplementary.
21. SEVERABILITY: City and Consultant each believe that the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all applicable
laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this Agreement is
declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring City to do any act in
violation of any applicable laws, including any constitutional provision, law,
regulation, or city code), such provision shall be deemed severed from this
Agreement and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect;
provided that this Agreement shall retroactively be deemed reformed to the
extent reasonably possible in such a manner so that the reformed agreement(and
any related agreements effective as of the same date) provide essentially the
same rights and benefits (economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if such
severance and reformation were not required. Unless prohibited by applicable
laws, the Parties further shall perform all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or
deliver all amendments, instruments and consents necessary to accomplish and
to give effect to the purposes of this Agreement, as reformed.
22. BINDING EFFECT, ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION: City and
Consultant each bind themselves, their partners, successors, assigns and legal
representatives to the other Party and to the partners, successors, assigns and
legal representatives of such other Party in respect to all covenants, agreements
and obligations contained in this Agreement. Neither Party shall assign the
Agreement or sublet it as a whole or delegate the duties under this Agreement,
without the written consent of the other Party, nor shall Consultant assign any
monies due or to become due to it without the previous written consent of City.
9
23. ACCURACY OF WORK: Acceptance of services or work by City shall
not relieve Consultant of the responsibility for subsequent correction of any such
errors and the clarification of any ambiguities. Consultant shall make all
necessary revisions or corrections resulting from errors and omissions on the
part of Consultant without additional compensation.
24. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: Time is of the essence with respect to all

VISITOR INFORMATION CENTER
Arizona Visitor Information Center (AVIC) Designation Program
The Arizona Office of Tourism's (AOT) Arizona Visitor Information Center Designation program
was created by AOT, in reference to A.R.S. 41-2305 B8, with the defined purpose of establishing
a network of officially designated Arizona Visitor Information Centers (AVICs) throughout the state
of Arizona.
Primarily operated by local chambers of commerce or convention and visitor bureaus,
designated AVICs help promote local Arizona communities as well as regional and statewide
attractions, destinations, dining options, and hospitality amenities. These information centers
often serve as a visitor's first stop, allowing communities to provide a positive first impression of
the surrounding area and Arizona.
Applicants choosing to participate in the program must accept the conditions and guidelines set
forth by AOT. ACT will inform participants of any program updates or changes.
Conditions and Guidelines for Obtaining an Official Arizona Visitor
Information Center Designation
1. The Designee shall pay a one-time application fee of $250 and an annual $100 renewal
fee. The $250 fee shall be payable in one lump sum upon the approval date of the
official designation of the Arizona Visitor Information Center (AVIC). The $100 fee shall
be payable in one lump sum on the renewal date of the designated center. Note that if
an entity is currently part of AOT's Rural Cooperative Marketing Program, the AVIC
one-time application fee is $125. The fees shall compensate AOT for costs incurred by
the production of program material for the designated center. Late payments may cause
the Designee to be excluded from AOT marketing publications and other promotional
materials.
2. Once approved, AOT will facilitate a meeting between the Designee and the Arizona
Department of Transportation (ADOT) for the construction and placement of local and
state street/highway sign(s), such as the blue "Arizona Tourism Information" directional
highway signs. The Designee shall provide clear directional highway and street signage
to promote the location of the visitor center. Standards for such signs must comply with
those established by ADOT. It is the responsibility of the Designee to maintain the
general appearance of the sign and ensure that graffiti is removed and repairs are made
to the sign. Those that are not repairable must be replaced. Highway signage shall be
covered until the Designee has met all criteria, passed the initial inspection, received
approval from AOT and opened.

design at the address provided on the Designee Application. The center shall have no
less than 500 square feet of public area unless otherwise approved in writing by ACT.

Subject: Third Amendment to the Professional Service Agreement for Senior
Transportation
On August 1st, 2017, The City of Apache Junction entered into an agreement with Central
Arizona Council On Developmental Disabilities ("CACDD") to provide transportation services to
our senior and disabled populations. Transportation services included: transportation to and
from the MGC for weekday lunch, medical and shopping trips.
This program is funded through Central Area Aging, grants, participant donations and the
general fund.
The notable changes in this amendment are:
• Increase in daily transportation from $240 per day to $275 per day
• Transportation for individual services (medical/shopping) will increase from $8 per mile
to $10 mile and from $25 per hour to $40 per hour. This service is rarely needed.
• Added fee for extended service area-if needed
• Added language and fee to accommodate if a second vehicle is required
With the rising cost of fuel, personnel cost and a broader service area, staff feel this is a fair
adjustment.
This is a vital program providing various transportation options to the senior community. The
partnership with CACDD has been very successful and staff recommend this amendment for
council's approval.

monetary damages.

acknowledges the applicability of the American with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and
Control Act of 1986 and the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989 to the services performed under

immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-214(A).
Contractor further warrants that after hiring an employee, Contractor will verify the employment
eligibility of the employee through the E-Verify program. If Contractor uses any subcontractors
in performance of services, subcontractors shall warrant their compliance with all federal
immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and A.R.S. §23-214(A), and
subcontractors shall further warrant that after hiring an employee, such subcontractor verifies
the employment eligibility of the employee through the E-Verify program. A breach of this
warranty shall be deemed a material breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to
and including termination of this Agreement. Contractor is subject to a penalty of$100 per day
for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000 per day for the third
violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement after the third violation. Contractor
shall not be deemed in material breach of this Agreement if the Contractor and/or
subcontractors establish compliance with the employment verification provisions of'Sections
274A and 2748 of the federal Immigration and Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements
contained in A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Contractor or subcontractor employee who works under this Agreement to ensure that the
Contractor or subcontractor is complying with the warranty. Any inspection will be conducted
after reasonable notice and at reasonable times. If state law is amended, the Parties may
modify this paragraph consistent with state law.

DATE: JUNE 15, 2026
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
THROUGH: BRYANT POWELL, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MIKE LOGGINS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: BULK FUEL AGREEMENT
Summary
Before the Council is an agreement between the City of Apache Junction and Petroleum
Traders Corporation for the purchase and delivery of bulk fuel for an initial one-year term
in an amount not to exceed $900,000. The agreement includes four automatic one-year
renewal options.
Background/Discussion
The City purchases bulk fuel for use in its fleet and equipment operations.The current bulk
fuel contract expires on June 30, 2026. To obtain competitive pricing and ensure a
reliable fuel supply, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for bulk fuel services.
On May 11, 2026, the City received two responses to the RFP. Staff evaluated the
proposals and determined that Petroleum Traders Corporation provided the best overall
value to the City based on pricing and service considerations.
Based on current fuel usage and pricing, the proposed agreement with Petroleum
Traders Corporation is expected to reduce the City's annual bulk fuel costs by
approximately $10,000 compared to the current contract. Funding for fuel purchases is
included in the City's adopted budget and will be paid from the applicable operating
funds.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council approve the agreement authorizing the City to
contract with Petroleum Traders Corporation for the purchase and delivery of bulk fuel in
an amount not to exceed $900,000 for an initial one-year term with four automatic one-
year renewal options.

applicable with respect to the coverage provided to City under such policies.
Contractor shall be solely responsible for the deductible and/or self-retention and
City, at its option, may require Contractor to secure payment of such deductibles
or self-insured retentions by a surety bond or an irrevocable and unconditional
letter of credit.
The insurance policies required by this Agreement, except Workers'
Compensation, shall name City, its elected officials, agents, officers, and
employees as Additional Insured Parties.
Contractor shall expressly bind any subcontractors, or any other lower tier
subcontractors, used in the performance of any aspect of the Services, to the
insurance requirements in this Agreement, making such obligations applicable to
the other subcontractor to the same extent as it is applicable to Contractor. The
purpose of this provision is to require any lower tier subcontractor, regardless of
level, to provide insurance and indemnity required by this Agreement.
15.2 Commercial General Liability. Contractor shall maintain throughout
the Term Commercial General Liability insurance with a limit of not less than
$1,000,000 for each occurrence with a $2,000,000 Products/Completed
Operations Aggregate and a $2,000,000 General Aggregate limit. The policy shall
include coverage for bodily injury, broad form property damage, personal injury,
products and completed operations and blanket contractual coverage including,
but not limited to, the liability assumed under the indemnification provisions of
this Agreement, which coverage will be at least as broad as that on Insurance
Service Office, Inc. Policy Form No. CG 00011093, or the equivalent thereof.
Such policies shall contain a severability of interest provision and shall not
contain a sunset provision or commutation clause, nor any provision which would
serve to limit third party action over claims.
6
The Commercial General Liability additional insured endorsement shall be at
least as broad as the Insurance Service Office, Inc.'s Additional Insured, Form B,
CG 20101185, or the equivalent thereof, and shall include coverage for
Contractor's operations and products and completed operations.
If Contractor sublets any part of the Services, Contractor shall purchase and
maintain, at all times during prosecution of the Services an Owner and
Contractor's Protective Liability insurance policy for bodily injury and property
damage, including death, which may arise in the prosecution of the Services.
Coverage shall be on an occurrence basis with a limit of not less than $2,000,000
per occurrence, and the policy shall be issued by the same insurance company
that issues Contractor's Commercial General Liability insurance.
15.3 Automobile Liability. Contractor shall maintain Commercial/Business
Automobile Liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and
property damage of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence with respect to
Contractor's owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles assigned to or used in
performance of the Services. Coverage will be at least as broad as coverage code
1, "any auto", (Insurance Service Office, Inc. Policy Form CA 00011293, or the
equivalent thereof). Such insurance shall include coverage for loading and off-
loading hazards. If hazardous substances, materials or wastes are to be
transported, federal mandatory motor carrier safety ("MCS") 90 endorsement
shall be included and $5,000,000 per accident limits for bodily injury and property
damage shall apply.
15.4 Workers' Compensation. Contractor shall carry Workers'
Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by federal and state
statutes having jurisdiction over Contractor's employees engaged in the
performance of the Services; and Employer's Liability insurance of not less than
$100,000 for each accident, $100,000 disease for each employee, and $500,000
disease policy limit.
By execution of this Agreement, Contractor certifies as follows:
"I am aware and understand the provisions of A.R.S. § 23-901 etseq. which
requires every employer to be insured against liability for workers'
compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter, and I will comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the Services of this Agreement."
If Contractor has no employees for whom Workers' Compensation insurance is
required by federal or state statutes, Contractor shall submit a declaration or
affidavit to City so stating and covenanting to obtain such insurance if and when
Contractor employs any employees subject to coverage.
7
15.5 Certificates of Insurance. Prior to commencing the Services,
Contractor shall furnish City with Certificates of Insurance, or formal
endorsements as required by the Agreement, issued by Contractor's insurer(s),
as evidence that policies providing the required coverages, conditions and limits
required by this Agreement are in full force and effect. City shall not be obligated,
however, to review same or to advise Contractor of any deficiencies in such
policies and endorsements, and such receipt shall not relieve Contractor from, or
be deemed a waiver of, City's right to insist on strict fulfillment of Contractor's
obligations under this Agreement.
The form of the certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be subject to the
approval of the Apache Junction City Attorney's Office, shall comply with the
terms of this Agreement. Policies or certificates and completed forms of City's
Additional Insured Endorsement (or a substantially equivalent insurance
company form acceptable to the City Attorney) evidencing the coverage required
by this Agreement shall be delivered to City Attorney, City of Apache Junction,
300 East Superstition Boulevard, Apache Junction, AZ 85119. The policy or
policies shall be in the usual form of public liability insurance, but shall also
include the following provision:
"Solely as respects work done by or on behalf of the named insured for the
City of Apache Junction, it is agreed that the City of Apache Junction and
its elected officials, officers, agents and employees are added as additional
insured parties under this policy."
In the event any insurance policies required by this Agreement are written on a
"claims made" basis, coverage shall extend for two (2) years past completion and
acceptance of Contractor's work or services and as evidenced by annual
Certificates of Insurance.
Contractor shall require its insurers to provide City thirty (30) calendar days' prior
written notice of any nonrenewal, cancellation, or material change in the
coverage under such policy reducing coverage to below the amounts required by
this Agreement. If a policy does expire during the life of the Agreement, a renewal
certificate must be sent to City thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration
date.
16. CHANGE ORDERS: A change order is a written order from City to
Contractor issued after execution of the Contract authorizing a change in the
Work and setting forth the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum
and the extent of the change, if any, in the Progress Schedule. Change Orders do
not invalidate the Contract. Changes in the Work shall be performed under the
applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall
proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order. A Change
Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith,
including the adjustment in the Contract Sum and Progress Schedule or the
8
method for determining them.
17. BINDING EFFECT, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION:
City and Contractor each bind themselves, their partners, successors, assigns
and legal representatives to the other Party and to the partners, successors,
assigns and legal representatives of such other Party in respect to all covenants,
agreements and obligations contained in the Contract. Neither Party shall assign
this Agreement or sublet it as a whole or delegate the duties under the
Agreement, without the written consent of the other Party, nor shall Contractor
assign any monies due or to become due to it without the previous written consent
of City.
18. WRITTEN NOTICE: Written notice shall be deemed to have been duly
served if delivered in person to the individual or member of the firm or entity, or
to an office of the corporation for whom it was intended or if delivered at or sent
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and first-class postage
prepaid to the last business address known to them who gives the notice. Notices

any damage or loss of property caused in whole or in part by the Contractor, a
subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by Contractor, or by
anyone for whose acts Contractor may be liable and for which Contractor is
responsible under the Contract, except where such damage or loss is directly
attributable to the negligent acts or omissions of City or by anyone for whose acts
City may be liable and not attributable to the fault or negligence of the Contractor.
City shall make claims regarding all damage or loss to Contractor within a
reasonable time after the first observance of such injury or damages.
20. PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE BONDS: City shall have the right to
require Contractor to furnish bonds covering the faithful performance of the

22. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES: The duties and obligations and the rights
and remedies available under the Contract shall be in addition to and not a
limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or
available by law. No action or failure to act by City or Contractor shall constitute
a waiver of any right or duty afforded to any of them under the Contract, nor shall
any action or failure to act constitute an approval of or an acquiescence to any
breaches under the Contract except as may be specifically agreed to by the
Parties in writing.
23. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither City nor Contractor, as the case may be,
shall be considered not to have performed its obligations under this Agreement
in the event of enforced delay (an "Enforced Delay") due to causes beyond its
control and without its fault or negligence or failure to comply with applicable
laws, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, fires, floods, epidemics,
pandemics and related executive orders, quarantine, restrictions, embargoes,
labor disputes, and unusually severe weather or the delays of subcontractors or
materialmen due to such causes, acts of a public enemy, war, terrorism or act of
terror (including but not limited to bio-terrorism or eco-terrorism), nuclear
radiation, blockade, insurrection, riot, labor strike or interruption, extortion,
sabotage, or similar occurrence or any exercise of the power of eminent domain
of any governmental body on behalf of any public entity, or a declaration of
moratorium or similar hiatus (whether permanent or temporary) by any public
entity directly affecting the obligations under this Agreement. In no event will
Enforced Delay include any delay resulting from unavailability for any reason of
labor shortages, or the unavailability for any reason of particular contractors,
consultants subcontractors, vendors or investors desired by Contractor in
connection with the obligations under this Agreement. Contractor agrees that
Contractor alone will bear all risks of delay which are not Enforced Delay. In the
event of the occurrence of any such Enforced Delay, the time or times for
performance of the obligations of the Party claiming delay shall be extended for a
period of the Enforced Delay; provided, however, that the Party seeking the
benefit of the provisions of this Section 23 shall, within thirty (30) calendar days
after such Party knows or should know of any such Enforced Delay,first notify the
other Party of the specific delay in writing and claim the right to an extension for
the period of the Enforced Delay; and provided further that in no event shall a
period of Enforced Delay exceed ninety (90) calendar days.

24. TERMINATION:
A. TERMINATION BY CITY: City may terminate this Agreement in
whole or part if the city manager or his or her designee determines Contractor
has failed to fulfill its obligations under the Contract through no fault of City. Such
termination may be effected by City giving Contractor not less than ten (10)
calendar days written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested of City's
intent to terminate. Contractor shall have ten (10) calendar days to cure the
failure to the satisfaction of City. City may terminate this Agreement or a portion
thereof if conditions encountered during the progress of the Work make it
impossible or impracticable to proceed with the Work. If City terminates this
Agreement for reasons of default by Contractor, the amount of compensation
provided for in this Agreement shall be reduced to reflect the percentage of Work
completed and the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for anticipated
profits or unperformed services. .
B. TERMINATION BY CONTRACTOR: Contractor may terminate this
Agreement if City fails to make payment as agreed upon in this Agreement. Any
other termination will be deemed a breach of contract by Contractor. Contractor
shall provide Notice of Termination to City by Certified U.S. Mail ten (10) calendar
days before such termination takes effect.
25. RECORDS: Records of Contractor's labor, payroll and other costs
pertaining to the Contract shall be kept on a generally recognized accounting
basis and made available to City for inspection on request. Contractor shall
maintain records for a period of at least two (2) years after expiration of this
Agreement and shall make such records available during that retention period for
examination or audit by City personnel during regular business hours.
26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement and any attachments and the
Contract Documents represent the entire agreement between City and
Contractor and supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements,
either express or implied, written or oral. It is mutually understood and agreed
that no alteration or variation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
be valid unless made in writing and signed by the Parties. Written and signed
amendments shall automatically become part of the Contract, and shall
supersede any inconsistent provision therein; provided, however, that any
apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if possible, by construing the
provisions as mutually complementary and supplementary.
27. SEVERABILITY: City and Contractor each believe that the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all applicable
laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this Agreement is
declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring City to do any act in
11
violation of any applicable laws, including any constitutional provision, law,
regulation, or city code), such provision shall be deemed severed from this
Agreement and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect;
provided that this Agreement shall retroactively be deemed reformed to the
extent reasonably possible in such a manner so that the reformed agreement(and
any related agreements effective as of the same date) provide essentially the
same rights and benefits (economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if such
severance and reformation were not required. Unless prohibited by applicable
laws, the Parties further shall perform all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or
deliver all amendments, instruments and consents necessary to accomplish and
to give effect to the purposes of this Agreement, as reformed.
28. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: Time is of the essence with respect to all
provisions in this Agreement. Any delay in performance by either Party shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
29. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: The Contract is subject to, and may be
terminated by City in accordance with, the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511.
30. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH CONTRACTORS WHO ENGAGE
IN BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL: The Parties acknowledge A.R.S. §§ 35-
393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from
contracting with Contractors who engage in boycotts of the State of Israel.
Should Contractor engage in any such boycott against the State of Israel, this
Agreement shall be deemed automatically terminated by operation of law. Any
such boycott is a material breach of this Agreement.
31. PROHIBITED USE OF FORCED LABOR: In accordance with A.R.S. §
35-394, Contractor hereby certifies and agrees that Contractor does not
currently and shall not for the duration of this Agreement use: (1) the forced labor
of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China, (2) any services or goods
produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China,
and/or (3) any suppliers, contractors or subcontractors that use the forced labor
or any services or goods produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the
People's Republic of China. If Contractor becomes aware during the Term that
Contractor is not in compliance with this Section 32, then Contractor shall notify
the City within five (5) business days after becoming aware of such
noncompliance. If Contractor does not provide the City with written certification
that Contractor has remedied such noncompliance within ninety (90) calendar
days after notifying the City of such noncompliance, this Agreement shall
terminate, except that if the Agreement termination date occurs before the end of
such ninety (90) day remedy period, this Agreement shall terminate automatically.
32. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Contractor
understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with Disabilities
Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug Free
12
Workplace Act of 1989 to the services performed under this Agreement.
As required by A.R.S. § 41-4401, Contractor hereby warrants its compliance with
all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and
A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Contractor further warrants that after hiring an employee,
Contractor will verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the E-
Verify program. If Contractor uses any subcontractors in performance of
services, subcontractors shall warrant their compliance with all federal
immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-
214(A), and subcontractors shall further warrant that after hiring an employee,
such subcontractor verifies the employment eligibility of the employee through
the E-Verify program. A breach of this warranty shall be deemed a material
breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and including
termination of this Agreement. Contractor is subject to a penalty of$100 per day
for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000 per day
for the third violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement after the
third violation. Contractor shall not be deemed in material breach of this
Agreement if the Contractor and/or subcontractors establish compliance with the
employment verification provisions of Sections 274A and 274B of the federal
Immigration and Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in A.R.S.
§ 23-214(A). City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any Contractor or
subcontractor employee who works under this Agreement to ensure that the
Contractor or subcontractor is complying with the warranty. Any inspection will
be conducted after reasonable notice and at reasonable times. If state law is
amended,the Parties may modify this paragraph consistent with state law without
effectuating an official amendment to this Agreement. Email notification of the
modification would be sufficient notice.
33. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. Should there be any discrepancy or
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any terms
and conditions in any exhibit to this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control and prevail.

STAFF MEMO
Date : June 16, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Through: Bryant Powell, City Manager
Rudy Esquivias, Development Services Director
Sidney Urias, Development Services Deputy Director
From: Hudson Meyer, Associate Planner
Case Number: P-26-6-PZ
Subject: 275 S . Cactus Proposed Rezoning
Summary
P-26-6-PZ is a proposal by Kimberly Bergman to rezone
approximately 1 . 25 gross acres currently zoned Medium Density
Single-Family Detached Residential ("RS-10M") to General Rural
Low Density Single-Family Detached Residential ("RS-GR") .
Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing and Recommendation
On May 12, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public
hearing for P-26-6-PZ . At the meeting the Commission discussed
concerns raised by residents regarding potential business
operations, horse use on the property, and the proposed conditions
of approval .
The Planning and Zoning Commission evaluated the proposed rezoning
and subsequently voted 6-0 to forward P-26-6-PZ to the Apache
Junction City Council with a recommendation of approval, without
the second proposed Condition of Approval which read:
2) No business activity shall occur on the property,
including but not limited to the storage or parking of
commercial vehicles, equipment, or construction materials .
Additionally, no operations, activities, or uses that
create commercial-related nuisances - such as excessive
noise, dust, odors, outdoor storage, or increased traffic

associated with a business operation — shall be permitted
on the site .
Staff included this condition in response to neighborhood concerns
conveyed during the planning review process . However, the Planning
and Zoning Commission perceived the inclusion of this condition
was redundant, as the Apache Junction Zoning Ordinance already
prohibits business activity of this scope on residentially zoned
properties .
June 1, 2026 Work Session
On June 1, 2026, the Council reviewed the case information and
held discussion on the nature of the property' s use and the
public' s concerns about potential commercial activity at the
property in addition to the potential re-inclusion of Condition of
Approval #2 .

LOCATION: The subject site is located near the

DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential (10 DU/AC Max)
ZONING DESIGNATION: Medium Density Single-Family Detached
Residential "RS-10M" .
SURROUNDING USES : North: Medium Density Residential Zoned

PROPOSALS
P-26-6-PZ is a proposal by Kimberly Bergman to rezone
approximately 1 . 25 gross acres currently zoned Medium Density
Single-Family Detached Residential ("RS-10M") to General Rural
Low Density Single-Family Detached Residential ("RS-GR") .
BACKGROUND
The subject site at 275 S . Cactus is an approximately 1 . 25 acre
single-family residential property that was developed in 1997
according to the Pinai County Assessor' s Office.
The property was designated Medium Density Single-Family
Detached Residential "RS-10M" in 2014 when the Zoning Ordinance
was updated. Unlike the neighboring properties however this
parcel was never split any further than 1 . 25 acres . Provided the
difference in zoning standards between "RS-10M" and "RS-GR" this
rezoning request aims to bring the property under standards that
are more applicable to the subject site.
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS
Relationship to General Plan:
While the property itself is designated with the Medium-Density
Residential land use designation, the surrounding neighborhood
is largely designated Low Density Residential beyond the
immediately adjacent properties . This rezoning would bring the
zoning more in line with that of similar sized parcels in the
area.
Additionally, the proposed zoning change from the Medium-Density
Residential "RS-10M" to the Low-Density Residential "RS-GR" does
not create a conflict requiring a General Plan amendment, as
"any proposed zoning map change from a higher density
residential zoning district to a lower density residential
zoning district" does not require a major or minor amendment.

PROPERTY REZONE REQUEST
With this request we seek to rezone the property located at 275 S. Cactus Rd
(APN- 101-22-0680) from RS-IO-M to RS-GR to allow for a better use of the
full piece of the property.
As it stands now with the current zoning, we are unable to use almost 2/3 of the
property. We currently have a storage container that we seek to have permitted or
possibly build a garage but we are unable to do either with the current zoning. The
existing shed/workshop are not sufficient as you are not able to park a vehicle in
either of them but with these two buildings and the house, we are at maximum
square foot usage of the property per the RS-IOM zone code.This property serves
as home for our daughters's family to include 2 children and her partner. One of
our grandchildren is Autistic and we made the choice to purchase this property as
it's situated to be very private. With that being said, it was a family financial
sacrifice to purchase it. In addition to providing a home for our daughter's family,
we want to have a building or the storage container to store our business material,
Christmas Decoration, and various household items you would typically store.
Provided that we are able to rezone and build a garage, it will not change the
character of the existing neighborhood. Most if not all surrounding properties,
have garages while they are on smaller pieces of property. Our's is the largest one
in RS-10-M as it was never split up as the others have been. The property backs
up to a large piece of property that is zoned RS-GR. The rest of the area is all RS-
GR with the exception of a small number of properties in RS-10-M and this
rezone aligns with the larger area. This rezone would not require any additional
infrastructure, and would not create any additional traffic for the neighborhood or
have an noise/environmental impact. If the zoning is approved and we do build a
structure or permit one of the containers, this is will not be visible from the street
and currently we have private screen on the fence at the back of the property.
REVISED: Post RDR Review Comments
The proposed garage/storage unit will be located as the same as it is on the site
map with a similar footprint for any future structure. Currently, there are two
Conex containers with one being sold and removed soon.
As this structure upon rezone will be partially for personal and business material
usage, the hours of utilization will vary. Small trailer and trucks are currently on
site for storage purposes. Taking into account for noise ordinances, and usage
during daylight hours, the impact on this rezone would be minimal on the
neighbors. Prior to moving onto the property we met with all the surrounding
neighbors albeit one neighbor to advise that at any point, communicate to us on
any perceived disturbances so that it can be addressed.
We do not want to impede not only our view of the mountains but do no want to
impede view of the surrounding neighbors. We intentionally placed the storage as
to no impede views.At this time we do not have a set plan for building as without
the rezone we cannot build anything. Provided that the rezone is approved,
permitting/plans will follow.
Per the Pre-Application Department comments from the following
Water: There is no plan to add any additional water lines. There is a spigot
already located near the proposed storage unit/garage If at any point in the future
this would be needed,proper permits would be applied for.
Site Development Engineering: No comments or requirements
Public Works Engineering: No comments or requirements for this project.
Public Works Floodplain & Stormwater:Any proposed site improvements may
need to be FEMA compliant due to potential FEMA standards being implemented
in August 2025.
Building & Safety: We will need to comply with current codes as of 2018 and
potentially adhere to 2024 international codes within 2025
Sewer: They take no exception to the project. If plumbing is added a sewer permit
would be required.
Public Safety: No concerns on this project.
Economic Development : No comments on this case
Fire & Medical (Staff Contact: Richard Mooney—480-982-4440 ext. 160;
Richard.mooney@sfmd.az.gov)
Property owners notes on comments from the SFMD more clarification in
bold below.
1. Superstition Fire &Medical District(SFMD) follows the 2018 International
Fire Code (IFC) with
Amendments approved by the SFMD Fire Board.A copy of the 2018 IFC and our
amendments can be
found on our website: https:Hsfind.az.gov/ .
2. Road(driveway) access must be at least 24 feet wide. It is 30 feet per the site
map.
3. The access road to all units on the project site must be identified as the access
street and not just an easement that could be blocked at a later date.
Email correspondence from Theint Thandar Ko :"Per our team's discussion
regarding the formal Public Access Way (PAW) dedication, the (PAW) application
will not be required as part of the Rezoning process at this time."
The current driveway is and has been dedicated to use for all since the property
was developed and that will not change. The access road could potentially be
dedicated to be of perpetual usage for all during this process.At no time have we
considered anything otherwise as it provides access to to all homes to the South
of 275 S. Cactus Rd..
4. SFMD is concerned about adding additional structures to a property without a fire
hydrant nearby,
especially if business and personal materials are stored on the property. Tender
operations are required to support any fire operations on the property. Currently,
there is a water spigot that is near the current structures.
5. The road to the property entrance is on the access road, making tender
operations difficult because there is
only one entry point. There are 3 gates openings on the access road, in
varying widths from two gates of 20' and one 25'.
6. The addition of a garage to the property means the fire district would like to
access it. However, SFMD
does not have the authority to mandate a 20-foot access road to the garage,
especially after the property is
rezoned and the garage is built. There is a 30 foot wide access road to the
property and current and/or any future storage structure.
7. SFMD would like an access gate on Cactus as a second means of egress into
the property.
8. SFMD cannot enforce fire codes on residential properties, so adding additional
buildings on a residential
property is not ideal for fire suppression activities with the limited water supply in
the area(no fire
hydrants).
9. SFMD will not support or deny the property's rezoning; we have concerns
about the increased fire load on
the property without a permanent water supply and only one means of egress to
the property.
10. SFMD reserves the right to add comments as more detailed plans are
provided.
First Site plan submitted did not include the third gate/access. It has been
added to to the revised site map. The three gate entrances would provide
access to both the house and the proposed structure location in the event of a
fire emergency.
We do appreciate your consideration of this rezone.
Sincerely yours,
Eric, Kimberly and Hannah Bergman

REZONING NOTICE/LETTER/PLAN
275 S. CACTUS RD.
APACHE JUNCTION,ARIZONA 85119
The purpose of this Citizen Participation Plan/letter serves to inform
citizens, property owners, neighborhood associations, agencies, schools
and business in the vicinity of the site of an application for proposed
rezoning.
You are receiving this plan/letter as you are on on the contact list that
has been developed for citizens, agencies and businesses in the area
including : Property owners , Homeowners Associations, and
Neighborhood associations within 300 feet of the project.
The site for proposed rezoning from RS-10 -M to RS-GR is located at:
275 S Cactus Rd. Apache Junction, Arizona 85119 (APN 101-22-0680) The
potential rezone is aligned with the majority of the properties in the
area. Attached please find the site plan.
This plan/letter is to ensure that those who will potentially be affected
by this rezoning application will have sufficient opportunity to learn and
comment on the proposal. While we have met many of the recipients of
this letter prior to moving onto the property, we have not at any point
received any negative feedback personally. The city was contacted by
one property owner in lieu of speaking to us personally, regarding the
storage containers. We look forward to meeting with our neighbors for
discussions.
Currently, there is a storage unit on the property. Subsequently, in the
event of the proposed rezoning going through, a permit will be applied
for the remaining container and/or a garage. This structure will remain
at the back of the property (Southeast Section of the property) where it
will not impede the view of the Superstition Mountains of any of the
surrounding homes. The noise level will remain low and in accordance
with City of Apache Junction ordinance.
The Pre-Application submittal with the City of Apache Junction planning
was made on March 2025. Staff reviewed the application and
recommended that neighboring residents, nearby registered
neighborhoods, and nearby Homeowners Associations be contacted. At
the review, no departments were in opposition to this rezone. They do
reserve the right to comment at a later date.
This letter serves as an invitation to comment via the contact
information listed below. Additionally, a public meeting will be held for
comment and concerns on Thursday,January 29, 2026 from 4:00 p.m. -
6:00 p.m at the Apache Junction Multi-Generational Center located at
1035 N Idaho Rd, Apache Junction, AZ 85119 in room 119. There will be a
public posting notice to be placed at 275 S. Cactus Rd. for notification
purposes, also.
Our intent is to provide constructive citizen participation with this
meeting and application process.

The neighborhood rezoning meeting as held on January 29,2026
from 4-6 p.m. at Apache Junction Multi-Generational Center
located at 1035 N. Idaho Rd. Apache Junction, AZ 85119
The Neighborhood notice was mailed on January 15,2026. No
other additional notices were sent. Original letter attached.
Attached is the mailing label per the Assessor site.
There were 10 neighbors, plus two of the Cactus property owners
and our Planning and Zoning liaison, Hudson Meyer for a total of
13 in attendance.
The following concerns were addressed:
Request to rezone for "Commercial" It is unclear why the three of
the meeting attendees inquired about this as at NO time have we
ever discussed or written about in our neighborhood letter or in
person. We quickly assured the three attendees that this was not
the case, but a rezone to RS-GR so we may use the property in a
functional way.
Noise concerns were addressed.
As there are several vehicles that are diesel which can be noisier
than a conventional gas motor, it was clarified that these
vehicles were also for personal use, not left running and adhered
to noise code quiet times. Many local residents drive similar or the
exact same trucks as we do. It was also pointed out that the
current structure is approximately 50+ feet away from the
driveway and the driveway is another 30 feet to the Southern
fence line at the easement/driveway. More than most space
between residential driveways in varying neighborhoods.
Additionally, a forklift runs periodically, also 80+feet away from the
Southern fence line across the driveway. The forklift runs
occasionally to load material onto a truck. This takes less than 10
minutes on average. The decibel level for the forklift is similar to
a lawnmower. We have adhered to the noise ordinances with the
use of the forklift.
Drywall material is periodically delivered to the location by a semi
or a diesel truck. Said trucks are at the location 20 minutes more
or less. We instructed them to park on Cactus so as not to block
the Communal driveway. And they are delivering well inside of the
noise ordinance times. The complainants called the police
regarding noise one time but we were not sited for this.
Subsequently we bought a noise decibel meter to monitor the
situation.
Business being operated from the property was addressed.
We assured all involved that we were not operating our business
on site. As it was been confirmed that we store items both
personal and business but our Drywall business is addressed and
licensed at another property. The storage container stores drywall
material, small tools and other personal items. As everyone else
"drives" out of their driveway to work in the morning, the same is
said for us. There are occasions when we leave the property, we
have drywall materials for a job located elsewhere. We confirmed
that with meeting attendees that nothing is bought, sold or made
on the property.
Fire Hazard addressed:
As shown on the site map, which all attendees were mailed prior
to the meeting, the property has three entrances off the common
driveway. The fence line is five feet and easily accessible in the
event of a fire. We confirmed that at no point did we plan on
restricting the common driveway access. The current structure is
all metal and are a very low fire hazard. The drywall material
currently being stored is not flammable. Additionally, there is a
water spigot located in the yard near the storage containers if the
need ever arose.
The discussion of "neighborliness" was touched upon as the party
that complained at no point every made any effort to speak to us
about their concerns before complaints to the city were filed. All
other neighbors/attendees have never had any issues with us. We
have made the best effort to be good neighbors and will continue
to do so.

Subject: Opposition to rezoning Case# P-26-6-PZ
275 S Cactus Rd
Apache Junction, AZ 85119
Dear members of the Planning and Zoning commission, and City Council.
We are property owners at 305 S Cactus Rd which is located withing 300FT of the property proposed for Rezoning in
Case# P-26-6-PZ.
We are writing to strongly oppose the proposal to rezone the site at 275 S Cactus Rd from RS-10M to RS-GR.
We believe this change is not in the best interest of our neighborhood for the following reasons.
NOISE
From Business equipment IE: Forklift, mixers, employee traffic all at random hours of the day. Our common fence is
barely 20 feet from the front of our home.
Our question is, Can Eric Bergman run a commercial business on that property. He does not reside there.
HORSES
The change from RS-10M to RS-GR will allow this property to become horse property and according to your code, that
means unlimited horses.
If horses are put on this property it would lower the value of our property due to the odors, pests, flies, etc. Because of the
close proximity of out adjoining property line. Not to mention the adjoining fence line with Weavers Needle Park that would
be a horrible intrusion to the winter visitors that help support this community.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
we attended the neighborhood meeting on 1-29-2026 and voiced our concerns along with other neighbors. There were no
fixes offered by the Bergmans The only suggestion came from neighbors and us to have them build a noise dampening
wall if you are going to allow Mr. Bergman to run a commercial business off of that property. We were told that we have no
public access to the final report from the Bergmans in regards to the neighborhood meeting that you have received.
We are unable to attend the Planning and Zoning meeting on 4-28-2026. However we wanted our concerns on record.

We strongly urge the Commission to recommend denial of this rezoning request.
Sincerely,
Alice Barnes/ Kim Hayes

Re: P-26-6-PZ"275 S. Cactus Rezoning"
Mr. Meyer,
This letter is a follow up to my letter and our emails from earlier this month. I have just now
been able to review the documents related to the P-26-6-PZ"275 S. Cactus Rezoning"
public hearing scheduled for this evening. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend tonight's
meeting due to prior commitments. From the review, I wish to add the following comments;
1) The storage area at the back of the property is within 15'of the fence bordering
Weaver's Needle RV Park. During the winter months this part of the Park is filled with
guests who have been impacted by the ongoing business operation started on this
property. This past winter there were many complaints by the residents of excessive
noise on this property. On a couple of occasions Code Compliance was called and
visited this property over noise and other complaints. Is it possible to have the Code
Compliance officers' reports made a part of this record?
2) It is clear from the documents presented by the applicant that a storage or
warehouse business is being operated here. It defies common sense to state
otherwise when the applicant states that occasionally semi-trailer trucks will
unload drywall and other business-related material for storage for the applicant's
business. The narrative relates that this business is intended to be ongoing. The
General Plan and subsequent zoning of this property never envisioned a storage
business being operated here.The city streets in this area are not built for regular
use by semi-trailers, for example.
3) The Fire department's concerns should not be understated. The storage container
and stored materials will be within 20 feet or so of RV units that would have to be
moved on an emergency basis in case of fire.
4) In reading the narrative for this application, it was indicated that this zoning change
was to in effect legalize how the property is being used today rather than an effort to
bring the property into compliance with the City Code. It sets a bad precedence.
Included are some pictures from the Weaver's Needle fence line. The nature of the use
of this portion of the property is clear.
