Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS). Pursuant to RCW 41.50.139(1) and WAC
415-02-325(1), the City is required to elicit on a written form if any of the Contractor's employees
providing services to the City retired using the 2008 Early Retirement Factors (ERFs), or if the Contractor
is owned by an individual who retired using the 2008 ERFs, and whether the nature of the service and
compensation would result in a retirement benefit being suspended. Failure to make this
determination exposes the City to significant liability for pension overpayments. As a result, before
commencing work under this Agreement, Contractor shall determine whether any of its employees
providing services to the City or any of the Contractor's owners retired using the 2008 ERFs, and shall
immediately notify the City and shall promptly complete the form provided by the City after this
notification is made. This notification to DRS could impact the payment of retirement benefits to
employees and owners of Contractor. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City
from any and all claims, damages, or other liability, including attorneys' fees and costs, relating to a
claim by DRS of a pension overpayment caused by or resulting from Contractor's failure to comply with
the terms of this provision. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
21. Assignment and Subcontract. The Contractor shall not assign or subcontract any portion
of the services contemplated by this Agreement without the written consent of the City. Any assignment
made without the prior approval of the City is void.
22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties,
and no other agreements, oral or otherwise, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement shall be
deemed to exist or bind either of the Parties. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the attached exhibits, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail
