1.2 Grantee may request that certificate(s) of expenditure substantially in the form attached hereto ("Certificates of Expenditure") as Exhibit E be processed and executed periodically. The City will not execute Certificates of Expenditure in the aggregate in excess of the actual cost of the Project. Prior to each execution of a Certificate of Expenditure by the City, Grantee must submit documentation regarding the applicable expenditures to DPD. Delivery by Grantee to DPD of any request for execution by the City of a Certificate of Expenditure hereunder will, in addition to the items therein expressly set forth, constitute a certification to the City, as of the date of such request for execution of a Certificate of Expenditure, that,
the total amount of the request for the Certificates of Expenditure represents the actual amount payable to (or paid to) the general contractor, subcontractors, and other parties who have performed work on or otherwise provided goods or services in connection with the Project, and/or their payees;
all amounts shown as previous payments on the current request for a Certificate of Expenditure have been paid to parties entitled to such payment;

Grantee is solely responsible for any fees, costs and expenses of the Project in excess of the amount of the Grant and will hold the City harmless from all such excess fees, costs and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the City or Grantee be responsible for any cost or expenses of the Project exceeding the Budget. In the event that either party believes that the Budget may not provide sufficient funds for the construction of the Project, such party must notify the other party and the parties must cooperate to modify the Project so that it can be completed in accordance with the Budget.
The sources of funds for the City's obligations under this Agreement are funds identified by CAPS Codes: PS41 131 54 5041 2604 (Hyde Park), PS26 131 54 5026 2604 (West Garfield), PS74 131 54 5074 2604 (Mount Greenwood) and PS18 131 54 5018 2604 (Montclare).

the transactions contemplated hereby.
Independent Contractor
The Grantee shall perform under this Agreement as an independent contractor to the City and not as a representative, employee, agent or partner of the City.
The City is subject to the June 24, 2011 "City of Chicago Hiring Plan" (the "City Hiring Plan") entered in Shakman v. Democratic Organization of Cook County, Case No 69 C 2145 (United State District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). Among other things, the 2011 City Hiring Plan prohibits the City from hiring persons as governmental employees in non-exempt positions on the basis of political reasons or factors.
Grantee is aware that City policy prohibits City employees from directing any individual to apply for a position with Grantee, either as an employee or as a subcontractor, and from directing Grantee to hire an individual as an employee or as a subcontractor. Accordingly, Grantee must follow its own hiring and contracting procedures, without being influenced by City employees. Any and all personnel provided by Grantee under this Agreement are employees or subcontractors of Grantee, not employees of the City of Chicago. This Agreement is not intended to and does not constitute, create, give rise to, or otherwise recognize an employer-employee relationship of any kind between the City and any personnel provided by Grantee.
Grantee will not condition, base, or knowingly prejudice or affect any term or aspect of the employment of any personnel provided under this Agreement, or offer employment to any individual to provide services under this Agreement, based upon or because of any political reason or factor, including, without limitation, any individual's political affiliation, membership in a political organization or party, political support or activity, political financial contributions, promises of such political support, activity or financial contributions, or such individual's political sponsorship or recommendation. For purposes of this Agreement, a political organization or party is an identifiable group or entity that has as its primary purpose the support of or opposition to candidates for elected public office. Individual political activities are the activities of individual persons in support of or in opposition to political organizations or parties or candidates for elected public office.
In the event of any communication to Grantee by a City employee or City official in violation of Section (c) above, or advocating a violation of Section (d) above, Grantee will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office of the Inspector General ("IGO Hiring Oversight") and also to the head of DPD. Grantee will also cooperate with any inquiries by IGO Hiring Oversight related to this Agreement.
FOIA and Local Records Act Compliance
(a) FOIA. Grantee acknowledges that the City is subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5ILCS 140/1 eL seq., as amended ("FOIA"). The FOIA requires the City to produce records (very broadly defined in FOIA) in response to a FOIA request in a very short period of time, unless the records requested are exempt under the FOIA. If Grantee receives a|1010|
request from the City to produce records within the scope of FOIA, then Grantee covenants to comply with such request within 48 hours of the date of such request. Failure by Grantee to timely comply with such request will be a breach of this Agreement.
Exempt Information. Documents that Grantee submits to the City during the term
of the Agreement that contain trade secrets and commercial or financial information may be exempt if disclosure would result in competitive harm. However, for documents submitted by Grantee to be treated as a trade secret or information that would cause competitive harm, FOIA requires that Grantee mark any such documents as "proprietary, privileged or confidential." If Grantee marks a document as "proprietary, privileged and confidential", then DPD will evaluate whether such document may be withheld under the FOIA. DPD, in its discretion, will determine whether a document will be exempted from disclosure, and that determination is subject to review by the Illinois Attorney General's Office and/or the courts.
Local Records Act. Grantee acknowledges that the City is subject to the Local Records Act, 50 ILCS 205/1 et. seq., as amended (the "Local Records Act"). The Local Records Act provides that public records may only be disposed of as provided in the Local Records Act. If requested by the City, Grantee covenants to use its best efforts consistently applied to assist the City in its compliance with the Local Records Act concerning records arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
SECTION 5. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
It will be the responsibility of Grantee to investigate and determine the soil and environmental condition of the Property, if deemed necessary, including obtaining phase I and, if applicable, phase II environmental audits for the Property. The City makes no covenant, representation or warranty as to the environmental condition of the Property or the suitability of the Property for any use whatsoever.
Grantee agrees to carefully inspect the Property and all easements or other agreements recorded against the Property prior to commencement of any activity on the Property to ensure that such activity will not damage surrounding property, structures, utility lines or any subsurface lines or cables. Grantee must be solely responsible for the safety and protection of the public on the portions of the Property affected by the Project, until the portion of the Project on each portion of the Property is completed. The City reserves the right to inspect the work being done on the Property. Grantee agrees to keep the Property free from all liens and encumbrances arising out of any work performed, materials supplied or obligations incurred by or for Grantee.
Prior to inspecting the Property, Grantee or its subcontractors, if any, must obtain insurance in accordance with Section 6 below, all necessary permits and, if applicable, a right of entry.
SECTION 6. INSURANCE
6.1. Grantee must provide and maintain at Grantee's own expense, or cause to be provided during the term of this Agreement, the insurance coverages and requirements specified below, as applicable, insuring all operations related to this Agreement.|1010|

Grantee must submit evidence of insurance on the City's Insurance Certificate Form (copy attached as Exhibit F) or equivalent prior to execution of the Agreement. The receipt of any certificate does not constitute agreement by the City that the insurance requirements in this Agreement have been fully met or that the insurance policies indicated on the certificate are in compliance with all Agreement requirements. The failure of the City to obtain certificates or other insurance evidence from Grantee is not a waiver by the City of any requirements for Grantee to obtain and maintain the specified coverages. Grantee must advise all insurers of the provisions of this Agreement regarding insurance. Non-conforming insurance does not relieve Grantee of the obligation to provide insurance as specified in this Agreement. Nonfulfillment of the insurance conditions may constitute a violation of the Agreement, and the City retains the right to suspend this Agreement until proper evidence of insurance is provided, or the Agreement may be terminated.
The insurance must provide for sixty (60) days prior written notice to be given to the City in the event coverage is substantially changed, canceled, or non-renewed.

Any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by the City do not contribute with insurance provided by Grantee under this Agreement.
The required insurance to be carried out is not limited by any limitations expressed in the indemnification language in this Agreement or any limitation placed on the indemnity in this Agreement given as a matter of law.
If Grantee is a joint venture or limited liability company, the insurance policies must name the joint venture or limited liability company as a named insured.
Grantee must require all subcontractors to provide insurance required in this Agreement, or Grantee may provide the coverages for subcontractors. All subcontractors are subject to the same insurance requirements of Grantee unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the City's Risk Management Department maintains the right to modify, delete, alter or change these requirements.

If the City so terminates this Agreement, Grantee must: (i) repay the City promptly any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement and not yet applied to the Project, and (ii) at Grantee's own expense, make all reasonable and necessary efforts to restore each parcel of land included in the Property which has been affected by the Project and at which planned Project improvements have not been substantially completed to either (a) the original state of the Property parcel, or (b) a state different from the original state of the Property parcel as mutually agreed upon by both Grantee and CPS.
Prior to termination, the City will give Grantee 30 days' advance written notice of the City's intent to terminate stating the nature of the default. If Grantee does not cure the default within the 30-day period, the termination will become effective at the end of the period. With respect to those defaults that are not capable of being cured within the 30-day period, Grantee will not be deemed to be in default if it has begun to cure the default within the 30-day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure of the default until cured.
