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.
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
8
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 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 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 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
9
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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed
by their duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.

entire agreement between City and Services Provider 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 hereto. Written and signed amendments shall automatically become part
of the supporting documents, 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.
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 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
8
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 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 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 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
9
damages.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed
by their duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.

and conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by
the parties hereto. Written and signed amendments shall automatically become part
of the supporting documents, 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.
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 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.

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
8
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 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 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 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
9
monetary damages, including but not limited to, consequential and liquidated
damages.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed
by their duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.

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 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

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.

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
8
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 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 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 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
9
monetary damages, including but not limited to, consequential and liquidated
damages.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed
by their duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.

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

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

all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or deliver all amendments, instruments and

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
8
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 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 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 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
9
damages.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed
by their duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.

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 hereto. Written and signed amendments shall automatically become part
of the supporting documents, 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.
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 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
8
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 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 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 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
9
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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed
by their duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.
