Re: Burlington Fire Department – Background Check Fee for Ride Along Program
Overview
The Burlington Fire Department offers ride-along opportunities for members of the public to
observe fire department operations for educational and recruitment purposes.
The Department has developed an updated Standard Operating Guideline (SOG 00.05) that
formalizes program expectations related to safety, confidentiality, supervision, and participant
conduct. As part of this update, the policy requires background checks for ride-along
participants.
Given the nature of fire and EMS operations—including access to emergency scenes, patient
interactions, and secured municipal facilities—participant screening is necessary to ensure
safety, protect sensitive environments, and reduce liability risk.
Proposal
The Department is seeking authorization to implement a $25 administrative fee to cover the cost
of required background checks for ride-along participants.
The federal background check fee is currently $15 per applicant. The remaining portion of the
fee offsets administrative costs associated with application processing, coordination, and
recordkeeping.
The Department retains discretion to waive the background check and/or fee in appropriate
circumstances, such as for licensed medical providers, law enforcement personnel, or individuals
with equivalent prior screening.
Authorization of this fee is necessary to implement the updated policy as written.
Fiscal Impact
This proposal requires no additional City funding and is intended solely to recover costs
associated with administering the background check requirement.

Motion
Board of Finance

implement and collect a $25 administrative fee to cover the cost of conducting background
checks for ride-along participants, subject to final review and approval by the Chief

I. Purpose:
This SOG, in conjunction with the A-50: Observer Release & Waiver of Liability, outlines the
process that allows eligible observers to ride-along and observe Burlington Fire Department
operations for legitimate civic or educational purposes, while establishing required safety,
confidentiality, conduct, scheduling, and attire standards.
Scope:
This SOG is intended to provide general guidance relative to members of the public requesting to
ride with our members. This policy does not specifically address situations where non-BFD
members have requested to complete clinical opportunities during a ride-along. Additionally, this
policy does not address internal precepting or observation opportunities. These circumstances are
addressed elsewhere.
II. Definitions:
Observer: Any non BFD personnel approved to ride on Burlington Fire Department apparatus for
the sole purpose of observing department operations.
Release and Waiver of Liability: The A50 form, a formal, legally-approved document an observer
signs acknowledging the inherent risks of participating in or observing fire/EMS operations, and
agreeing not to hold the City of Burlington or the Burlington Fire Department liable for injury,
death, or property damage that may occur during the ride-along.
Ride-Along Application: This form shall be filled out before a person is allowed to participate in
the program. This form, when completed, will be kept in the Deputy Chief of Administration's
office. This form allows for a background check to be conducted should it be determined to be
needed.
Ride-Along Program: A structured community engagement initiative that allows eligible, pre-
approved individuals to ride on fire department apparatus and observe station or emergency
response activities for educational or civic awareness purposes, without participating in emergency
operations.

200 Employees assigned to work mutual aid the contractually agreed upon rate, which may be more

680 have at least one (1) week of vacation time remaining after any donation. Donations may
681 be made at any time throughout the year, and must be made in blocks of eight (8) hours.
682 The maximum amount of leave that can be donated by one employee in a calendar year
683 shall not exceed one-hundred twenty (120) hours, unless otherwise approved by the
684 General Manager or their designee. The sick leave pool will accumulate from year to
685 year. The identity of the donors and recipients shall remain confidential.
686
687 Eligibility: To be eligible to receive sick leave from the pool, an employee must have
688 exhausted all their accumulated sick leave, have exhausted all but one (1) week of their
689 vacation leave, and have a reasonable expectation of returning to work within six (6)
690 months of their last paid and/or vacation leave day.

693 Requests will be reviewed by a review committee made up of one non-union employee
694 appointed by Department management and one Union employee appointed by the IBEW
695 Business Manager. Awards will normally be made in blocks of five (5) normal working
696 days.

CC: Katherine Schad-CAO, Lynn Regean-HR Director, Tony Berry-HR Manager
DATE: June 29, 2026
SUBJECT: Reclassification of Administrative and Accounting Assistant Position from Grade 14 to 16
REQUEST
The Burlington Fire Department requests approval to reclassify the Administrative and Accounting Assistant
position from a Regular, Full-Time, Non-Exempt, AFSCME Grade 14 position to a Regular, Full-Time, Non-
Exempt, AFSCME Grade 16 position.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Burlington Fire Department seeks to reclassify the Administrative and Accounting Assistant position to
better align with the current administrative, financial, compliance, and operational needs of the department.
The Burlington Fire Department manages a budget exceeding $20 million, supports approximately 95 personnel
operating from five fire stations, coordinates emergency medical services billing activities, administers multiple
financial and records-management systems, processes public records and HIPAA requests, supports payroll and
purchasing functions, and maintains compliance with a growing number of municipal, state, and federal
requirements.
To effectively support these responsibilities, the department requires a position with a higher level of technical
expertise, independent judgment, accountability, and organizational impact than contemplated under the current
Grade 14 classification. The proposed Grade 16 position will serve as the department's primary administrative
and financial support resource, providing support to command staff while coordinating key administrative,
financial, records-management, and compliance functions essential to department operations.
Reclassification will align the position with the operational needs of the department, support continuity of
critical administrative and financial functions, and improve the department's ability to recruit and retain
qualified personnel with the specialized knowledge and skills required for the role.
The current employee possesses the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to successfully perform the
responsibilities of the revised position.

Subject: Construction Contract Award for North Avenue Stormwater Improvements
REQUEST
The Department of Public Works (“DPW”) and its Water Resources Division (WRD) seeks
authorization to execute a contract with S.D. Ireland Brothers Corporation in the amount up to
$492,700 with authorization for contingency funding of an additional $50,000 for the
construction of the North Avenue Stormwater Improvements project and to designate the
Director of Public Works to execute associated documents.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Burlington (“City”) Department of Public Works Water Resources Division’s (“WRD”)
sewer collection system is comprised of piping networks that are designed to convey both
sanitary and storm flows (combined sewer system) to the three (3) wastewater treatment
facilities (Main, East and North Plants) with Main Plant having the highest percentage of
combined sewer collection system area. Sections of the Main Plant collection system can have
reduced capacity to safely convey sanitary and storm flows during extreme rainfall events. While
Main Plant does have a wet-weather treatment system, larger rain events do reduce the amount
of effective treatment that can be provided. As such, the WRD is always looking for opportunities
to reduce stormwater inputs. To aid in the mitigation of the contributing impervious areas, the
City utilizes Green Stormwater Infrastructure (“GSI”) to reduce the polluted runoff and high
storm flows from developed lands that drain into the Combined Sewer System (“CSS”)
throughout the City. These systems remove stormwater from the combined sewer collection
system and infiltrate back into the groundwater. By removing stormwater, these practices
improve capacity in the combined sewer systems and ensure that Main Plant will be able to
provide wet-weather treatment to the increasing frequency of intense rain events. These
stormwater reduction practices are also often paired with new housing developments that will
be increasing sanitary flows as a way to leverage development to, at a minimum, ensure no
worsening of capacity – but in many cases, to actually improve capacity in the collection system.
This project was originally designed by BC Community Housing (BCCH) for their Cambrian Rise
1 of 4
Page 65 of 320
community housing development project. As part of this development, significant new sanitary
sewer flows will be introduced to the WRD’s combined sewer collection system in North Avenue.
During project review, WRD determined that this area of the collection system contributes to
downstream sections with some known capacity constraints. WRD’s CSO Offset Policy dictates
that developments that propose to increase the sanitary sewer flows in the Main Wastewater
Treatment Plant (“WWTP”) collection system offset their sanitary sewer contribution with off-
site stormwater reductions. In response to this requirement, BCCH designed a stormwater
infiltration system that collects stormwater from North Avenue (which otherwise drains to the
combined sewer system) and infiltrates stormwater back into the ground, reconnecting the
water with the natural hydrologic cycle. In order to leverage economies of scale, as part of the
design process, WRD requested that the engineer design a system that could capture more
stormwater than what was required for the Cambrian combined sewer offset for a potential cost
sharing partnership. Accordingly, this project (“North Avenue Stormwater Improvements
Project”) is designed to remove stormwater from approximately 1.6 acres of impervious surface
which exceeds the reduction required by the CSO Offset Policy, providing an opportunity for WRD
to partner with BCCH to further improve WRD’s combined sewer stormwater reduction goals.
While originally the plan for the construction of this stormwater reduction project was for BCCH
to build the system using cost share funding from Stormwater’s capital reserves (see Attachment
B), early in 2026 it became clear that it would be mutually advantageous to use some of the City’s
State ARPA combined sewer reduction grant funding 1 to build the system instead. This funding
was originally earmarked for constructing of combined sewer overflow reductions in the Pine
Street corridor, but design of that system has proved more complicated due to the collection
system dynamics. Since this ARPA funding has to be spent by September 30, 2026 – this project
ensures the continued draw down of those funds. That said, since the offset is a requirement of
BCCH’s water and sewer capacity allocation WRD will update the agreement with BCCH to
provide for a vehicle for BCCH to reimburse WRD for their percentage of the project. The
reimbursed funds can then be used for other combined sewer reduction projects in the future.
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR PROCUREMENT:
An Invitation for Bid was drafted, approved by the Attorney’s Office, and advertised per the City’s
and Federal procurement policies. We received the following bids:

PENAL SUM FORM
1. Bidder and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and
assigns to pay to Owner upon default of Bidder the penal sum set forth on the face of this Bond. Payment of the
penal sum is the extent of Bidder’s and Surety’s liability. Recovery of such penal sum under the terms of this Bond
shall be Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy upon default of Bidder.
2. Default of Bidder shall occur upon the failure of Bidder to deliver within the time required by the Bidding
Documents (or any extension thereof agreed to in writing by Owner) the executed Agreement required by the Bidding
Documents and any performance and payment bonds required by the Bidding Documents.
3. This obligation shall be null and void if:
3.1 Owner accepts Bidder’s Bid and Bidder delivers within the time required by the Bidding Documents (or any
extension thereof agreed to in writing by Owner) the executed Agreement required by the Bidding
Documents and any performance and payment bonds required by the Bidding Documents, or
3.2 All Bids are rejected by Owner, or
3.3 Owner fails to issue a Notice of Award to Bidder within the time specified in the Bidding Documents (or any
extension thereof agreed to in writing by Bidder and, if applicable, consented to by Surety when required
by Paragraph 5 hereof).
4. Payment under this Bond will be due and payable upon default of Bidder and within 30 calendar days after
receipt by Bidder and Surety of written notice of default from Owner, which notice will be given with reasonable
promptness, identifying this Bond and the Project and including a statement of the amount due.
5. Surety waives notice of any and all defenses based on or arising out of any time extension to issue Notice of
Award agreed to in writing by Owner and Bidder, provided that the total time for issuing Notice of Award including
extensions shall not in the aggregate exceed 120 days from the Bid due date without Surety’s written consent.
6. No suit or action shall be commenced under this Bond prior to 30 calendar days after the notice of default
required in Paragraph 4 above is received by Bidder and Surety and in no case later than one year after the Bid due
date.
7. Any suit or action under this Bond shall be commenced only in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the
state in which the Project is located.
8. Notices required hereunder shall be in writing and sent to Bidder and Surety at their respective addresses shown
on the face of this Bond. Such notices may be sent by personal delivery, commercial courier, or by United States
Registered or Certified Mail, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid, and shall be deemed to be effective upon
receipt by the party concerned.
9. Surety shall cause to be attached to this Bond a current and effective Power of Attorney evidencing the authority
of the officer, agent, or representative who executed this Bond on behalf of Surety to execute, seal, and deliver such
Bond and bind the Surety thereby.
10. This Bond is intended to conform to all applicable statutory requirements. Any applicable requirement of any
applicable statute that has been omitted from this Bond shall be deemed to be included herein as if set forth at
length. If any provision of this Bond conflicts with any applicable statute, then the provision of said statute shall
govern and the remainder of this Bond that is not in conflict therewith shall continue in full force and effect.
11. The term “Bid” as used herein includes a Bid, offer, or proposal as applicable.

SUBJECT: Request to Accept and Execute a Lease-Finance Agreement and a Contract Agreement
with Engelberth Construction, Inc (ECI) for the construction of the Snow Removal
Equipment (SRE) building and execute a Contract Agreement with Passero Associates,
Inc (PA) for the construction oversight services of the SRE building.

The construction will consist of a building with approximately 44,500 SF of gross floor area, an
estimated 137,000 SF asphalt apron to support equipment and vehicle parking and movement around
the building, and an access road to connect the apron to Taxiway Golf. The relocation of FAA equipment
that is required to be moved due to the addition of this new building. The FAA granted funds to
accomplish the alternatives study and design of this relocation.
The construction of the SRE building requires the relocation of conduit that is owned by the FAA. This

this conduit relocation. FAA is the owner of the conduit requiring this oversight.
PROJECT APPROACH
Engelberth Construction, Inc. was selected through a competitive bid process in January 2026. There
was a total of 3 bids. ECI was the lowest responsive, responsible comprehensive bid.
Passero Associates (PA) was selected to provide the construction oversight through the Airport’s
selection process by meeting standards by the FAA for this project. This price was determined through
an extensive pricing process established by the FAA for all airport improvement projects (AIP) grant
funded projects. For FAA AIP projects, a qualification-based process with an independent fee estimate
(IFE) is completed for projects. Anything over $100,000.00 requires it to be reviewed by an independent
engineer/reviewer of scope and fee. Once this is completed a record of negotiations (RON) is completed
if needed, dependent on the results of the IFE.
Benefits:
The FAA requires that certain equipment that is funded with FAA grants to be stored in an enclosed
building. BTV has been challenged by this requirement because the existing maintenance and storage
building was not sized to accommodate the required equipment to house this airport equipment needed
for snow removal events. The equipment includes, but is not limited to, large front-end loaders, very
large multi-tasking equipment which includes a plow, sweeper and blower, snow blower trucks and
plow trucks. This new facility will allow us to meet this requirement.
Funding:
The funding will consist of a fifteen-year lease/finance. The funding is backed and will be paid for
primarily (85.61%) with the Airport’s passenger facilities charges (PFC). The remaining 14.39% will
be paid from our airfield operating budget. The Airport has prepared a new PFC application which
would allow the Airport to use PFC funds for lease payments. The Airport expects to receive FAA
approval by July 15th. The Airport issued a request for lease proposals for the project in May, and
received two proposals June 4th. The Airport selected M&T Bank as the best proposal. M&T Bank
Page 129 of 320
quoted a 4.88% interest rate. The Airport is working with the City Attorney Office, Thomas Melloni
from Paul Frank & Collins, and PFM to structure the actual Lease. The final lease document will be
subject to approval by the City Attorney’s office.
Budget FY 2027:
The FY 2027 budget needs to be amended to reflect the lease proceeds and related construction capital
expenditures. Regarding the FY 2027 lease principal and interest payments, these were already included
in our annual Airport budget request submitted to the City.

The City may suspend the work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety (90)
days at its discretion or such further time as agreed by the Contractor. The Contractor will be
allowed an extension of contract time directly attributable to any suspension.
20. PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY:
A. Compliance with Mandates and Guidance: The Contractor is advised that public health
emergencies—meaning public health emergencies, as declared by the City, the State of
Vermont, or the Federal Government—may introduce significant uncertainty into the
project. The Contractor must comply with all local, state, federal orders, directives,
regulations, guidance, advisories during a public health emergency. Contractor shall adhere
to the below provisions and consider public health emergencies as it develops project
schedules and advances the Work.
B. Creation of Public Health Emergency Plan: For any work performed on-site at a City location,
the Contractor shall create a public health emergency plan acceptable to the City. The
Contractor shall be responsible for following this plan and ensuring that the project or site
is stable and in a safe and maintainable condition.
a. Public Health Emergency Plan: The Public Health Emergency Plan will contain:
i. Measures to manage risk and mitigate potential impacts to the health and
safety of the public, the City and Contractor’s workers;
ii. Explicit reference to any health and safety performance standards and
mandates provided by the City, the State of Vermont, the Federal government,
or other relevant governmental entities;
iii. A schedule for possible updates to the plan as standards and mandates change;
and
iv. Means to adjust the schedule and sequence of work should the emergency
change in nature or duration.
b. Review and Acceptance of Plan:
Page 150 of 320
i. Contractor must provide the plan to the City by the Effective Date of this
Contract or by one (1) week prior to the commencement of on-site activities,
whichever is later.
ii. The City shall have sole discretion to require changes to the plan.
iii. The City may revisit the plan at any time to verify compliance with obligations
that arise under a state of emergency.
C. Enforcement & Stoppage of Work: Contractor fails to comply with either 1) the approved
public health emergency plan, or 2) any local, state, federal orders, directives, regulations,
guidance, or advisories during a public health emergency, the City may stop Work under the
Contract until such failure is corrected. Such failure to comply shall constitute a breach of
the Contract.
Upon stoppage of work, the City may allow Work to resume, at a time determined by the City, under
this Contract if such failure to comply is adequately corrected. The City shall have sole discretion
in determining if Contractor has adequately corrected its failure to comply with the above.
If Contractor’s breach of Contract has not been cured within seven (7) days after notice to stop Work
from the City, then City may terminate this Contract, at its discretion.
D. City Liability Relating to Potential Delays: If a public health emergency is declared, the City
will not be responsible for any delays related to the sequence of operations or any expenses
or losses incurred as a result of any delays. Any delays related to a public health emergency
will be excusable, but will not be compensable.
21. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither Party to this Contract shall be liable to the other for any failure or
delay of performance of any obligation under this Contract to the extent the failure or delay is
caused by acts of God, public health emergencies, epidemics, acts of the public enemy, acts of
superior governmental authority, weather conditions, riots, rebellion, sabotage, or any other
circumstances for which it is not responsible or which is not under its control (“Force
Majeure”). To assert Force Majeure, the nonperforming party must prove that a) it made all
reasonable efforts to remove, eliminate, or minimize the cause of delay or damage, b)
diligently pursued performance of its obligations, c) substantially fulfilled all obligations that
could be fulfilled, and d) timely notified the other part of the likelihood or actual occurrence
of a Force Majeure event. If any such causes for delay are of such magnitude as to prevent
the complete performance of the Contract within two (2) years of the originally scheduled
completion date, either Party may by written notice request to amend or terminate the
Contract. The suspension of any obligations under this section shall not cause the term of this
Contract to be extended and shall not affect any rights accrued under this Contract prior to
the occurrence of the Force Majeure. The Party giving notice of the Force Majeure shall also
give notice of its cessation.
Page 151 of 320
22. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK, ADDITIONAL SERVICES OR CHANGES: The City
may, in writing, require or agree to changes, or additions to or deletions from the originally
contemplated scope of work.
The value of such changes, to the extent not reflected in other payments to the Contractor, shall
be incorporated in an amendment and be determined by mutual agreement, by one or more of
the following:
1. Fixed Price. By a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the Contractor’s
expenses experienced in performing the work. The Contractor is fully responsible for all
costs and resulting profit or loss.
2. Rate Schedule. By unit prices designated in the Contract, or by unit prices covered under
any subsequent contracts.
3. Actual Cost. By amounts determined on the basis of actual costs incurred, as distinguished
from forecasted expenditures.
No changes for which additional fee payment is claimed shall be made unless pursuant to a written
order from the City, and no claim for payment shall be valid unless so ordered.
The Contractor agrees to maintain complete and accurate records of all change work, in a form
satisfactory to the City. The City reserves the right to audit the records of the Contractor related
to any extra work or additional services. Any such services rendered shall be subject, in all other
respects, to the terms of the Contract. When changes are so ordered, no additional work shall
be performed by the Contractor until a Contract amendment has been fully executed, unless
written notice to proceed is issued by the City. Any claim for extension of time that may be
necessitated as a result of extra work or additional services and changes shall be given
consideration and evaluated insofar as it directly relates to the change.
23. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH TIME SCHEDULE: If the City is dissatisfied because of slow progress
or incompetence in the performance of the Work in accordance with the schedule for
completion of the various aspects of construction, the City shall give the Contractor written
notice in which the City shall specify in detail the cause of dissatisfaction. Should the Contractor
fail or refuse to remedy the matters complained of within five days after the written notice is
received by the Contractor, the City shall have the right to take control of the Work and either
make good the deficiencies of the Contractor itself or direct the activities of the Contractor in
doing so, employing such additional help as the City deems advisable. In such events, the City
shall be entitled to collect from the Contractor any expenses in completing the Work. In addition,
the City may withhold from the amount payable to the Contractor an amount approximately
equal to any interest lost or charges incurred by the City for each calendar day that the
Contractor is in default after the time of completion stipulated in the Contract Documents.
24. RETURN OF MATERIALS: Contractor agrees that at the expiration or termination of this
Contract, it shall return to City all materials provided to it during its engagement on behalf of
Page 152 of 320
City.
25. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT; RELEASE: Contractor’s acceptance of the final payment shall
be a release in full of all claims against the City or its agents arising out of or by reason of the
Work. Any payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not release the Contractor or its sureties
from any obligations under the Contract Documents or any performance or payment bond.
26. OWNERSHIP OF THE WORK: The Contractor agrees that the ownership of all studies, data
sheets, survey notes, subsoil information, drawings, tracings, estimates, specifications,
proposals, diagrams, calculations, EDM and other material prepared or collected by the
Contractor, hereafter referred to as "instruments of professional service", shall become the
property of the City as they are prepared and/or developed in the course of the Contract. The
Contractor agrees to allow the City access to all “instruments of professional service” at any
time. The Contractor shall not copyright any material originating under the Contract without
prior written approval of the City. No publications or publicity of the work, in part or in total,
shall be made without the express written agreement of the City, except that Contractor may in
general terms use previously developed instruments of professional service to describe its
abilities for a project in promotional
materials.
27. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: The Parties under the Contract hereby mutually agree that, if patentable
discoveries or inventions should result from work performed by the Contractor under the
Contract, all rights accruing from such discoveries or inventions shall be the sole property of the
Contractor. The Contractor, however, agrees to and does hereby grant to the City an
irrevocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to the manufacture, use,
and disposition of any discovery or invention that may be developed as a part of the Work under
the Contract.
28. PUBLIC RECORDS: The Contractor understands that any and all records related to and acquired
by the City, whether electronic, paper, or otherwise recorded, are subject to the Vermont Public
Records Act and that the determination of how those records must be handled is solely within
the purview of City. The Contractor shall identify all records that it considers to be trade secrets
as that term is defined by subsection 317(c)(9) of the Vermont Public Records Act and shall also
identify all other records it considers to be exempt under the Act. It is not sufficient to merely
state generally that the record is proprietary or a trade secret or is otherwise exempt. Particular
records, pages or section which are believed to be exempt must be specifically identified as
such and must be separated from other records with a convincing explanation and rationale
sufficient to justify each exemption from release consistent with Section 317 of Title 1 of the
Vermont Statutes Annotated.
29. RECORDS RETENTION AND ACCESS: The Contractor agrees to retain, in its files, and to produce
to the City—within the time periods requested—all books, documents, electronic data media
(EDM), accounting records, and other records produced or acquired by the Contractor in the
performance of this Contract which are related to the City, at any time during this Contract and
for a period of at least three (3) years after its completion or termination. In addition, if any
Page 153 of 320
audit, claim, or litigation is commenced before the expiration of that three (3) year period, the
records shall be retained until all related audits, claims, or litigation are resolved. The Contractor
further agrees that the City shall have access to all the above information for the purpose of
review and audit during the Contract period and any time within the aforementioned retention
period. Copies of all of the above-mentioned information shall be provided to the City, if
requested, in the format in which the records were obtained, created, or maintained, such that
their original use and purpose can be achieved. Contractor, subcontractors, or their
representatives performing work related to the Contract, are responsible to ensure that all data
and information created or stored on EDM is secure and can be duplicated and used if the EDM
mechanism is subjected to power outage, obsolescence, or damage.
30. WARRANTY: In addition to any warranty provided by the manufacturer or distributor,
Contractor guarantees the Work performed, and all materials or equipment furnished, to be
free from defects in material and workmanship for a minimum period of one (1) year from the
date of the City’s acceptance of completion. The Contractor’s warranty is not intended and shall
not be interpreted as a limitation upon the City’s rights or a waiver of manufacturer and
distributor warranties, any subcontractor warranties, or any other warranties provided in
connection with the Work.
Contractor, at its own expense, shall make any repairs, or replacement necessary to correct these
defects to the satisfaction of the City.
This warranty of material and workmanship applies only:
1. To the property only as long as it remains in the possession of the City.
2. To the Work that has not been subject to accident, misuse, or abuse by someone other
than the Contractor.
3. To the Work that has not been modified, altered, defaced, or had repairs made or
attempted by someone other than the Contractor.
4. If the Contractor is immediately notified in writing within ten (10) days of first knowledge
of the defect by the City.
5. If the Contractor is given the first opportunity to make any repairs, replacements, or
corrections to the defective construction at no cost to the City within a reasonable period
of time.
Under no circumstances shall Contractor be liable by virtue of this warranty or otherwise for
damage to any person or property whatsoever for any special, indirect, secondary or
consequential damages of any nature however arising out of the use or inability to use because
of the construction defect.
If the Contractor is unable, after receipt of two (2) written notices given to Contractor by the
Page 154 of 320
City, to successfully repair or replace the labor, equipment, or materials within six (6) months
of the second notice, then the District's repair and replace warranty shall be deemed to have
failed and the City's rights and remedies shall not be limited by the provisions of this section.
31. CONTRACT DISPUTES: In the event of a dispute between the parties to this Contract, each party
will continue to perform its obligations unless the Contract is terminated in accordance with
these terms.
32. SETTLEMENTS OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Neither Party shall file any litigation arising from this
Contract without first attempting in good faith to resolve the Parties’ dispute through
negotiated settlement or mediation; provided, however, that any applicable statute of
limitations shall toll during any period in which the Parties are actively and mutually engaged in
dispute resolution; and provided further that nothing herein shall prevent either Party from
seeking emergency relief in appropriate circumstances from a court of competent jurisdiction.
33. CITY'S OPTION TO TERMINATE: The Contract may be terminated in accordance with the
following provisions, which are not exclusive:
A. Termination for Convenience: At any time prior to completion of services specified under
the Contract, the City may terminate the Contract for any reason by submitting written notice
via certified or registered mail to the Contractor, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the
termination date, of its intention to do so. If the termination is for the City’s convenience,
and the Contractor has satisfactorily performed all obligations in accordance with the
Contract Documents, payment to the Contractor will be made promptly for all direct costs
incurred to the date of the notice of termination and costs of materials obtained in
preparation for Work but not yet installed or delivered, less any payments previously made,
plus a reasonable fee for overhead and profit. However, if a notice of termination is given
to a Contractor prior to completion of twenty (20) percent of the estimated services, as set
forth in the approved Work Schedule and Progress Report, the Contractor will be reimbursed
for that portion of any reasonable and necessary expenses incurred to date of the notice of
termination plus a reasonable fee to the date of said termination. Such requests for
reimbursement shall be supported with factual data and shall be subject to the City’s
approval. The Contractor shall make no claim for additional compensation against the City
by reason of such termination.
B. Termination for Cause:
i. Breach: Contractor shall be in default if Contractor fails in any manner to fully
perform and carry out each and all conditions of this Contract, including, but not
limited to, Contractor’s failure to begin or to prosecute the Work in a timely
manner or to make progress as to endanger performance of this Contract;
failure to supply a sufficient number of properly skilled employees or a sufficient
quantity of materials of proper quality; failure to perform the Work
unsatisfactorily as determined by the City; failure to neglect or refuse to remove
materials; or in the event of a breach of warranty with respect to any materials,
Page 155 of 320
workmanship, or performance guaranty. Contractor will not be in default for any
excusable delays as provided in Sections 18-20.
The City may give Contractor written notice of such default. If Contractor does not
cure such default or provide a plan to cure such default which is acceptable to
the City within the time permitted by the City, then the City may terminate
this contract for cause.
ii. Dishonest Conduct: If Contractor engages in any dishonest conduct related to the
performance or administration of this Contract then the City may immediately
terminate this contract.
iii. Cover: In the event the City terminates this contract as provided in this section,
the City may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as the City may deem
appropriate, services similar in scope and level of effort to those so terminated,
and Contractor shall be liable to the City for all of its costs and damages,
including, but not limited to, any excess costs for such services, interest, or other
charges the City incurs to cover.
iv. Rights and Remedies Not Exclusive: The rights and remedies of the City provided
in this section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and
remedies provided by law or under this Contract.
34. GENERAL COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS: The Contractor and any subcontractor approved under
this Contract shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws, including but not
limited to the Burlington Livable Wage Ordinance, the Non-Outsourcing Ordinance, and the
Union-Deterrence Ordinance and shall provide the required certifications attesting to
compliance with these ordinances (see attached ordinances and certifications).
35. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall comply with all pertinent provisions of the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and any VOSHA (Vermont OSHA) Safety
and Health requirements, including the provision and use of appropriate safety equipment and
practices.
The Contractor, and not the City, shall be responsible for the safety, efficiency, and adequacy of
Contractor’s or its subcontractors’ plant, appliances, equipment, vehicles, and methods, and for
any damages, which may result from their failure or their improper construction, maintenance
or operation.
36. CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: During performance of
the Contract, the Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment because of religious affiliation, race, color, national origin, place of birth, ancestry,
age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, veteran status, disability, HIV positive
status, crime victim status, or genetic information. Contractor, and any subcontractors, shall
Page 156 of 320
comply with any Federal, State, or local law, statute, regulation, executive order, or rule that
applies to it or the services to be provided under this contract concerning equal employment,
fair employment practices, affirmative action, or prohibitions on discrimination or harassment
in employment.
37. CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS: By signing the Contract, the Contractor certifies, as of the date of
signing the Contract, that the Contractor (a) is not under an obligation to pay child support; or (b)
is under such an obligation and is in good standing with respect to that obligation; or (c) has
agreed to a payment plan with the Vermont Office of Child Support Services and is in full
compliance with that plan. If the Contractor is a sole proprietorship, the Contractor’s statement
applies only to the proprietor. If the Contractor is a partnership, the Contractor’s statement
applies to all general partners with a permanent residence in Vermont. If the Contractor is a
corporation, this provision does not apply.
38. TAX REQUIREMENTS: By signing the Contract, the Contractor certifies, as required by law under
32 VSA, Section 3113, that under the pains and penalties of perjury, the Contractor is in good
standing with respect to payment, or in full compliance with a plan to pay, any and all taxes due
the State of Vermont as of the date of signature on the Contract.
39. NO GIFTS OR GRATUITIES: The Contractor shall not make any payment or gift or donation of
substantial value to any elected official, officer, employee, or agent of the City during the term of
this Contract.
40. ASSIGNMENT: Contractor shall not sublet or assign this Work, or any part of it, without the
written consent of the City. If any subcontractor is approved, Contractor shall be responsible and
liable for all acts or omissions of that subcontractor for any Work performed. If any subcontractor
is approved, Contractor shall be responsible to ensure that the subcontractor is paid as agreed
and that no lien is placed on any City property.
41. TRANSFERS, SUBLETTING, ASSIGNMENTS, ETC: Contractor shall not assign, sublet, or transfer
any interest in the work, covered by this Contract, without prior written consent of the City and
further, if any subcontractor participates in any work involving additional services, the
estimated extent and cost of the contemplated work must receive prior written consent of the
City. The approval or consent to assign or sublet any portion of the work, shall in no way relieve
the Contractor of responsibility for the performance of that portion of the work so transferred.
The form of the subcontractor’s contract shall be as developed by the Contractor and approved
by the City. The Contractor shall ensure that insurance coverage exists for any operations to be
performed by any subcontractor as specified in the insurance requirements section of this
Contract.
The services of the Contractor, to be performed under the Contract, shall not be transferred
without written authorization of the City. Any authorized sub-contracts shall contain all of the
same provisions contained in and attached to the original Contract with the City.
42. CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS: The Contractor agrees that if because of death, disability, or other
Page 157 of 320
occurrences, it becomes impossible to effectively perform its services in compliance with the
Contract, neither the Contractor nor its surviving members shall be relieved of their obligations
to complete the Contract unless the City agrees to terminate the Contract because it
determines that the Contractor is unable to satisfactorily execute the Contract.
43. INTERPRETATION & IMPLEMENTATION: Provisions of the Contract shall be interpreted and
implemented in a manner consistent with each other and using procedures that will achieve
the intent of both Parties.
44. ARM’S LENGTH: This Contract has been negotiated at arm’s length, and any ambiguity in any
of its terms or provisions shall be interpreted in accordance with the intent of the Parties and
not against or in favor of either the City or Contractor.
45. RELATIONSHIP: The Contractor is an independent contractor and shall act in an independent
capacity and not as officers or employees of the City. To that end, the Contractor shall determine
the method, details, and means of performing the work, but will comply with all legal requirements
in doing so. The Contractor shall provide its own tools, materials, or equipment. The Parties agree
that neither the Contractor nor its principal(s) or employees are entitled to any employee
benefits from the City. Contractor understands and agrees that it and its principal(s) or
employees have no right to claim any benefits under the Burlington Employee Retirement System,
the City’s worker’s compensation benefits, health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, or
any other employee benefit plan offered by the City. The Contractor agrees to execute any
certifications or other documents and provide any certificates of insurance required by the City
and understands that this Contract is conditioned on its doing so, if requested.
The Contractor understands and agrees that it is responsible for the payment of all taxes on the
above sums and that the City will not withhold or pay for Social Security, Medicare, or other taxes
or benefits or be responsible for any unemployment benefits.
46. CHOICE OF LAW: Vermont law, and rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto, shall be
applied in the interpretation, execution, and enforcement of this Contract, notwithstanding
conflicts of law principles. Any provision included or incorporated herein by reference which
conflicts with said laws, rules, and regulations shall be null and void. Any provision rendered
null and void by operation of this provision shall not invalidate the remainder of this Contract to
the extent capable of execution.
47. JURISDICTION: All suits or actions related to this Contract shall be filed and proceedings held in
the State of Vermont, notwithstanding any other law.
48. BINDING EFFECT AND CONTINUITY: This Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the Parties, their’ respective heirs, successors, representatives, and assigns. If a
dispute arises between the Parties, each Party will continue to perform its obligations under
this Contract during the resolution of the dispute, until the Contract is terminated in accordance
with its terms.
Page 158 of 320
49. SEVERABILITY: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Contract or the
Contract Documents shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, which
shall remain in full force and effect, provided that the Parties can continue to perform their
obligations under this Contract in accordance with the intent of this Contract.
50. ENTIRE CONTRACT & AGREEMENT: This Contract, including the Contract Documents,
constitutes the entire Contract, agreement, and understanding of the Parties with respect to
the subject matter of this Contract. Prior or contemporaneous additions, deletions, or other
changes to this Contract shall not have any force or effect whatsoever, unless embodied herein.
51. APPENDICES: The City may attach, to these specifications, appendices containing various forms
and typical sample sheets for guidance and assistance to the Contractor in the performance of
the work. It is understood, however, that such forms and samples may be modified, altered,
and augmented from time to time by the City as occasions may require. It is the responsibility
of the Contractor to ensure that they have the latest versions applicable to the Contract.
52. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES: This Contract does not and is not intended to confer any
rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the Parties. Enforcement of this
Contract and all rights and obligations hereunder are reserved solely to the Parties. Any services
or benefits which third parties receive as a result of this Contract are incidental to this Contract,
and do not create any rights for such third parties.
53. WAIVER: Notwithstanding the passage of time, a Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right,
power, or privilege under this Contract, whether explicit or by lack of enforcement, shall not
operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege.
54. FEDERAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS: The federal contract requirements attached hereto as
Attachment C-2, and the FAA General & Special Conditions attached as Attachment C-3, are
incorporated herein by this reference.
55. SCHEDULES: The Contractor shall prepare and submit for the City’s information a Schedule for
the Work. The schedule, including the time required for design and construction, shall not exceed
time limits current under the Contract Documents, shall be revised at appropriate intervals as
required by the conditions of the Work and Project, shall be related to the entire Project to the
extent required by the Contract Documents, shall provide for expeditious and practicable
execution of the Work, and shall include allowances for periods of time required for the City’s
review and for approval of submissions by authorities having jurisdiction over the Project.
56. SUBMITTALS: Prior to submission of any Submittals, the Contract shall prepare a Submittal
schedule, and submit the schedule for the City’s approval. The City’s approval shall not
unreasonably be delayed or withheld. The Submittal schedule shall (1) be coordinated with the
Contractor’s schedule (2) allow the City reasonable time to review Submittals, and (3) be
periodically updated to reflect the progress of the Work. The City shall review and approve or
take other appropriate action on Submittals. Review of Submittals is not conducted for the
Page 159 of 320
purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details, such as dimensions and
quantities; or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or
systems; or for determining that the Submittals are in conformance with the Contract
Documents, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract
Documents. The City’s action will be taken in accordance with the submittal schedule approved
by the City or, in the absence of an approved submittal schedule, with reasonable promptness
while allowing sufficient time in the City’s judgment to permit adequate review.
57. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS: The Construction Documents shall establish the quality levels of
materials and systems required. The Contractor shall provide the Construction Documents to
the City for the City’s information. If the City discovers any deviations between the Construction
Documents and the Contract Documents, the City shall promptly notify the Contractor of such
deviations in writing. The Construction Documents shall not modify the Contract Documents
unless the City and Contractor execute a Modification. The failure of the City to discover any such
deviations shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to perform the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
58. PERMITS: The Contractor shall secure the building permit and any municipal, local and state
permits necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work and which are legally
required. The Contractor has included the cost of the South Burlington Construction Permit in
the Contract Price. The Contractor shall secure and pay for all sub-trade permits necessary for
proper execution of the Work and Substantial Completion of the Project.
59. TESTS AND INSPECTIONS: Tests, inspections and approvals of portions of the Work shall be
made as required by the Contract Documents and by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes,
rules and regulations or lawful orders of public authorities. Unless otherwise provided, the
Owner shall make arrangements for such tests, inspections and approvals with an independent
testing laboratory or entity acceptable to the City, or with the appropriate public authority, and
shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections and approvals.
60. CONCEALED OR UNKNOWN CONDITIONS: If the Contractor encounters conditions at the site
that are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions that differ materially from
those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual
nature that differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as
inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall promptly provide notice to the City before conditions are disturbed and in no
event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The City shall promptly
investigate such conditions and, if the City determines that they differ materially and cause an
increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part
of the Work, shall recommend an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time,
or both. If the City determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from
those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the Contract is
justified, the City shall promptly notify the Contractor in writing, stating the reasons.
Page 160 of 320
61. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: The Contractor is responsible for compliance with any requirements
included in the Contract Documents regarding hazardous materials. If the Contractor
encounters a hazardous material or substance not addressed in the Contract Documents and if
reasonable precautions will be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death to
persons resulting from a material or substance, including but not limited to asbestos or
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), encountered on the site by the Contractor, the Contractor shall,
upon recognizing the condition, immediately stop Work in the affected area and report the
condition to the City in writing. When the material or substance has been rendered harmless,
Work in the affected area shall resume upon written agreement of the City and Contractor. By
Change Order, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be
increased in the amount of the Contractor’s reasonable additional costs of shut-down, delay and
start-up.
62. The City shall not be responsible for materials or substances the Contractor brings to the site
unless such materials or substances are required. The Contractor shall indemnify the City for the
cost and expense the City incurs (1) for remediation of a material or substance the Contractor
brings to the site and negligently handles, or (2) where the Contractor fails to perform its
obligations, except to the extent that the cost and expense are due to the City’s fault or
negligence.
63. If, without negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Contractor is held liable by a
government agency for the cost of remediation of a hazardous material or substance solely by
reason of performing Work as required by the Contract Documents, the City shall indemnify the
Contractor for all cost and expense thereby incurred.
64. TIME LIMIT ON CLAIMS: The City and Contractor shall commence all claims and causes of action,
whether in contract, tort, breach of warranty or otherwise, against the other, arising out of or
related to the Contract within the time period specified by applicable law, but in any case, not
more than 10 years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work.
65. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
Any Claim between the City and Contractor shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions
set forth in this section. For any Claim subject to, but not resolved by mediation, the method
of binding dispute resolution shall be as follows:
[ X] Litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction
66. MEDIATION: If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, and if
said dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions between the parties, the parties agree
to endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation as a condition precedent to litigation. Either party
may commence mediation by providing to the other party a written request for mediation,
setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. Mediation shall commence
within thirty (30) days of notice to the other party. The parties will cooperate with one another
in selecting a mediator and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that
they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs.
Page 161 of 320
The mediation shall be conducted in Burlington, Vermont unless another location is mutually
agreed upon. A request for mediation shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to
the Contract, and filed with the person or entity administering the mediation.

Attachment C-1:
Insurance & Indemnification
INSURANCE: Prior to beginning any work, the Contractor shall obtain the following insurance
coverage from an insurance company registered and licensed to do business in the State of
Vermont and having an A.M. Best insurance rating of at least A-, financial size category VII or

expense of the City and shall not in any way be construed to be debt of the City in contravention
of any applicable constitutional or statutory or charter limitation or requirement concerning the
creation of indebtedness by the City, nor shall anything contained herein constitute a pledge of the
general tax revenues, funds or moneys of the City, nor a pledge of the credit of the City.

Council of the City to that effect.

invalidity of any portion of the Lease Agreement.

properties of the City; provided that such blanket insurance will provide the full coverage required
herein for the Facilities and at the same time provide full coverage for all other buildings and
facilities covered by such blanket insurance policies unless such blanket insurance policy provide
for full coverage of the Facilities prior to any overage of the other properties of the City. The
insurance required pursuant to this Lease Agreement in the amounts, with the coverage and other
features as required, may be supplied by a fully funded self-insurance program of the State or the
City; provided that such self-insurance program will provide the full coverage required herein for
the Facilities and at the same time provide full coverage for all other buildings and facilities
covered by such self-insurance program.
In the event the City fails to maintain the insurance required to be maintained hereunder,
the Lessor shall have the right to procure and maintain such insurance and charge the City for the
cost thereof as an Additional Rental Payment under this Lease Agreement.
Section 5.3. Damage by Fire, Earthquake. In the event of destruction or damage to the
Leased Premises by fire or earthquake or other casualty, the net proceeds of insurance shall be paid
to the City and applied as follows, as may be determined by the City:
(a) For the repair, reconstruction, or replacement of a damaged or destroyed portion of
the Facilities, following which the City shall cause such portion of the Facilities to be repaired,
reconstructed, or replaced to at least the same good order, repair, and condition as they were in
prior to the damage or destruction, insofar as the same may be accomplished by the use of said net
proceeds.
(b) For the payment or prepayment (to the extent permitted) of the remaining Base
Rental Payments or to be utilized for the defeasance of the remaining Base Rental Payments, in
accordance with the terms of this Lease Agreement.

Section 5.4. Assignment; Sublease. Neither this Lease Agreement nor any interest of
the City herein shall, at any time after the date hereof, without the prior written consent of the
Lessor, be mortgaged, pledged, assigned or transferred by the City by voluntary act or by operation
of law, or otherwise, except as specifically provided herein. The City shall at all times remain
liable for the performance of the covenants and conditions on its part to be performed,
notwithstanding any assigning, transferring or subletting which may be made.
The Lessor shall not assign this Lease Agreement, or sublease the Facilities or the Site,
without the prior written consent of the Lessor, unless there is an Event of Nonappropriation.
Section 5.5. Eminent Domain. If the whole of the Leased Premises, or so much thereof
as to render the remainder unusable for the purposes for which the same was constructed, shall be
taken under the power of eminent domain, then this Lease Agreement shall terminate as of the day
possession shall be so taken. If less than the whole of the Leased Premises shall be taken under
the power of eminent domain, and the remainder is usable for the project purposes, then this Lease
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated by virtue of such
taking (and the parties waive the benefit of any law to the contrary), in which event there shall be
a partial abatement of the rent hereunder in an amount equivalent to the amount by which the
annual payments of the Base Rental Payments will be reduced in any applicable year but only to
the extent of the application of any award in eminent domain to the prepayment of Base Rental
Payments.
Any net proceeds from an award in eminent domain proceedings for taking or damaging
the Leased Premises in whole or in part shall be paid to the Lessor and applied to the payment of
Base Rental Payments. The City shall contest any eminent domain award which is less than the
amount of the unpaid principal portion of the remaining Base Rental Payments.
In the event the amount paid to the Lessor shall be more than sufficient to pay all remaining
Base Rental Payments, any such excess shall be paid to the City.
Section 5.6. Operating Costs, Utilities and Expenses. The City shall, at its sole cost and
expense, pay all costs incurred in the operation of the Facilities, or arising in connection therewith,
including but not limited to all governmental charges or taxes (or payments in lieu of taxes), if
any, levied on the Facilities or the operation thereof, and all charges for utility services supplied
to, or used in the operation of, the Facilities. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, insofar as
the same may be lawfully done, the Lessor shall be free from all costs, expenses and obligations
of operation and maintenance of the Facilities, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and
free from all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges, and that this Lease Agreement
shall be a “triple net lease” and the City shall (subject to an Event of Nonappropriation) pay Base
Rental Payments and Additional Rental Payments throughout the Lease Term.
Section 5.7 Financial Reporting.
(a) The City shall make publicly available its annual audited financial statements
within 275 days of the end of each Fiscal Year and its annual budget within 60 days after adoption

of the same, and shall provide Lessor with any other financial information the Lessor may
reasonably request.
(b) Within 275 days after each end of each Fiscal Year, the City shall provide to the
Lessor a compliance certificate signed by the Aviation Director or the Chief Financial Officer of

1.25 to 1.00 for each Fiscal Year, as determined and calculated in accordance with the Airport
General Bond Resolution. Such debt service coverage ratio shall be tested annually.
(b) The City shall maintain an operating coverage ratio for the Airport of no less than
1.5 to 1.0 for each Fiscal Year, as determined and calculated in accordance with the Airline
Agreement that the City maintains with long-term carriers servicing the Airport. For the avoidance
of doubt, Base Rental Payments or any Additional Rental Payments required to be paid under this
Lease Agreement shall not constitute operation and maintenance expenses for purposes of
calculating the operating coverage ratio set forth in this Section.
(c) The Airport shall maintain days cash on hand of not less than 200 days as of the
end of each Fiscal Year, as determined and calculated in accordance with the annual operating
agreement submitted by the Airport to Digital Assurance Certification (DAC).
ARTICLE VI
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 6.1 Events of Default. The term “Events of Default” shall mean, whenever
used in this Lease Agreement, the occurrence and continuation of any one or more of the following

to be paid under Article IV at the times specified therein, other than upon an Event of

on its part to be observed or performed for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, given to the City by the Lessor;
provided, however, that if said default shall be such that it cannot be corrected within such period,

(c) The City shall abandon or vacate the Facilities.
12
10711127_5:12576-00052

without the written consent of the Lessor, either voluntarily or by operation of law.
(e) The City shall file any petition or institute any proceedings wherein or whereby the
City asks or seeks or prays to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or to be discharged from any or all of its
debts or obligations, or offers to the City’s creditors to effect a composition or extension of time
to pay the City’s debts, or asks, seeks or prays for a reorganization or to effect a plan of
reorganization, or for a readjustment of the City’s debts, or for any other similar relief.
(f) Any such petition or any such proceedings of the same or similar kind or character
shall be filed, instituted or taken against the City, seeking the City to be adjudicated bankrupt, or
asks, seeks or prays for a reorganization or to effect a readjustment of the City’s debts;
Section 6.2. Remedies. If the City should, after notice of an Event of Default, fail to
remedy any default with all reasonable dispatch within thirty (30) days of the date of such event
of default, then the Lessor shall have the right, at its option, without any further demand or notice,
(i) to terminate this Lease Agreement and to reenter the Leased Premises and eject all parties in
possession thereof therefrom, using all necessary force so to do, and re-let, or lease, the Leased
Premises, or (ii) to re-enter the Leased Premises and eject all parties therefrom, using all necessary
force so to do, and, without terminating this Lease Agreement, re-let the Leased Premises, or any
part thereof, as the agent and for the account of the City upon such terms and conditions as the
Lessor may deem advisable, in which event the rents received on such re-letting shall be applied
first toward payment of all sums due or to become due to the Lessor hereunder including the Base
Rental Payments and Additional Rental Payments due hereunder, and if a sufficient sum shall not
be thus realized to pay such sums and other charges, the City shall, subject to an Event of
Nonappropriation, pay the Lessor annually any cumulative deficiency existing on the date
hereunder, and thereafter to the expenses of re-letting and collection, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Leased Premises, reasonable attorney’s fees, and any real estate
commissions actually paid. The City, in the event of a default, waives all rights to any rental
payments received by the Lessor through re-letting of the Leased Premises, should such rental
payments be in excess of rental payments due from the City under this Lease Agreement. The
foregoing remedies of the Lessor are in addition to and not exclusive of any other remedy of the
Lessor. Any such re-entry shall be allowed by the City without hindrance and the Lessor shall not
be liable in damages for any such re-entry or be guilty of trespass. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event the Lessor re-lets the Leased Premises in accordance with this Section, the Leased
Premises shall only be used for airport purposes in compliance with FAA regulations and
applicable law.
Section 6.4. Waiver. The waiver by the Lessor of an Event of Default or a breach of any
provision of this Lease Agreement shall not operate or be construed to operate as a waiver of any
subsequent default or breach.

to comply with the requirements of the Contract.
7. PERFORMANCE: Consultant warrants that performance of Work will conform to the
requirements of this Contract. Consultant shall use that degree of ordinary care and reasonable
diligence that an experienced and qualified provider of similar services would use acting in
like circumstances and experience in such matters and in accordance with the standards,
practices and procedures established by Consultant for its own business.
8. DESIGN STANDARDS:
A. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Contract, or directed in writing,
Consultant services, studies or designs, that include or make reference to plans,
specifications, special provisions, computations, estimates, or other data shall be in
conformance with applicable City, state, and federal specifications, manuals, codes or
regulations, including supplements to or revisions thereof, adopted prior to or during the

Americans with Disabilities Act, including any regulations or design standards
promulgated pursuant thereto (including, without limitation, the current edition of the ADA
Accessibility Guidelines), and any more stringent disability access laws that may apply. If
applicable to the Work, and to the extent appropriate in the Consultant’s reasonable
professional judgment, the Consultant shall build reasonable tolerances into plans to ensure
that as-built or remodeled, buildings or structures comply with applicable accessibility
standards (e.g., so that the future tiling of a wall will not cause a restroom stall to fail to
meet minimum width standards, etc.).
9. RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUPERVISION: The Consultant shall assume primary
responsibility for general supervision of Consultant employees and their sub-consultants for all
Page 2 of 13
Page 241 of 320
work performed under the Contract and shall be solely responsible for all procedures, methods
of analysis, interpretation, conclusions and contents of work performed under the Contract. The
Consultant shall be responsible to the City for all acts or omissions of its subconsultants and any
other person performing work under this Contract.
10. UTILITIES: Whenever a facility or component of a private, public, or cooperatively-owned
utility will be affected by any proposed construction, the Consultant will counsel with the City,
plus achieve any necessary contacts and discussions with the affected owners, regarding any
requirement necessary for revisions of facilities or existing installations, both above and below
ground. Any such installations must be completely and accurately exhibited on any detail sheets
or plans. The Consultant shall inform the City, in writing, of any such contacts and the results
thereof.
11. INSPECTION OF WORK: The City shall, at all times, have access to the Consultant’s work
for the purposes of inspection, accounting, and auditing, and the Consultant shall provide
whatever access is considered necessary to accomplish such inspections. At any time, the
Consultant shall permit the City or representative for the City the opportunity to inspect any
plans, drawings, estimates, specifications, or other materials prepared or undertaken by the
Consultant pursuant to the Contract, as well as any preparatory work, work-in-progress, or
completed work at a field site, where applicable.
Conferences, visits to a site, or an inspection of the work, may be held at the request of any
involved party or by representatives of the City.
12. REVIEWS AND ACCEPTANCES: All preliminary and detailed designs, plans,
specifications, estimates or other documents prepared by the Consultant, shall be subject to
review and endorsement by the City.
Approval for any inspections or sequences of progress of work shall be documented by letters,
memoranda or other appropriate written means.
A frequency for formal reviews shall be set forth in the Contract. Informal reviews, conducted
by the City will be performed as deemed necessary. The Consultant shall respond to all official
comments regardless of their source. The Consultant shall supply the City with written copies
of all correspondence relating to formal and informal reviews.
No acceptance shall relieve a Consultant of their professional obligation to correct any defects
or errors in their work at their own expense.
13. PUBLIC RELATIONS: Whenever it is necessary to perform work in the field, particularly
with respect to reconnaissance, the Consultant will endeavor to maintain good relations with the
public and any affected property owners. Personnel employed by or representing the Consultant
shall conduct themselves with propriety. The Consultant agrees to inform property owners
and/or tenants, in a timely manner, if there is need for entering upon private property as an agent
of the City, in accordance with 19 V.S.A. § 35 and §.503, to accomplish the work under the
Contract. The Consultant agrees that any work will be done with minimum damage to the land
Page 3 of 13
Page 242 of 320
and disturbance to the owner. Upon request of the Consultant, the City shall furnish a letter of
introduction to property owners soliciting their cooperation and explaining that the Consultant
is acting as an agent of the City.
14. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Acknowledgment of the City’s support must be included in any
and all publications, renderings and project publicity, including audio/visual materials
developed under this Contract.
15. APPEARANCES:
A. Hearings and Conferences: The Consultant shall provide services required by the City and
necessary for furtherance of any work covered under the Contract. These services shall
include appropriate representation at design conferences, public gatherings and hearings,
and appearances before any legislative body, commission, board, or court, to justify,
explain and defend its contractual services covered under the Contract.
The Consultant shall perform any liaison that the City deems necessary for the furtherance
of the work and participate in conferences with the City, at any reasonable time, concerning
interpretation and evaluation of all aspects covered under the Contract.
The Consultant further agrees to participate in meetings with the City and any other
interested or affected participant, for the purpose of review or resolution of any conflicts
pertaining to the Contract.
The Consultant shall be equitably paid for such services and for any reasonable expenses
incurred in relation thereto in accordance with the Contract.
B. Appearance as Witness: If and when required by the City, the Consultant, or an appropriate
representative, shall prepare and appear for any litigation concerning any relevant project
or related contract, on behalf of the City. The Consultant shall be equitably paid, to the
extent permitted by law, for such services and for any reasonable expenses incurred in
relation thereto, in accordance with the Contract.
16. PAYMENT PROCEDURES: The City shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Consultant or the
Consultant’s legal representative payments in accordance with the Contract. All payments will
be made in reliance upon the accuracy of all representations made by the Consultant, whether in
invoices, progress reports, emails, or other proof of work. When applicable, for the type of
payment specified in the Contract, the progress report shall summarize actual costs and any earned
portion of fixed fee.
All invoices and correspondence shall indicate the applicable project name, project number and
the Contract number. When relevant, the invoice shall further be broken down in detail between
projects.
When applicable, for the type of payment specified in the Contract, expenses for meals and travel
shall be limited to the current approved in-state rates, as determined by the State of Vermont’s
Page 4 of 13
Page 243 of 320
labor contract, and need not be receipted. All other expenses are subject to approval by the City
and must be accompanied with documentation to substantiate their charges.
No approval given or payment made under the Contract, shall be conclusive evidence of the
performance of the Contract, either wholly or in part thereof, and no payment shall be construed
to be acceptance of defective work or improper materials.
The City agrees to pay the Consultant and the Consultant agrees to accept, as full compensation,
for performance of all services rendered and expenses incurred, the fee specified in the Contract.
Upon completion of all services covered under the Contract and payment of the agreed upon fee,
the Contract with its mutual obligations shall end.
17. DUTY TO INFORM CITY OF CONTRACT DOCUMENT ERRORS: If Consultant
knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a clearly identifiable error or omission exists in
the Contract Documents, including but not limited to unit prices and rate calculations,
Consultant shall immediately give the City written notice thereof. Consultant shall not cause
or permit any Work to be conducted which may relate to the error or omission without first
receiving written notice by the City that City representatives understand the possible error or
omission and have approved of modifications to the Contract Documents or that Consultant
may proceed without any modification being made to Contract Documents.
18. NON-APPROPRIATION: The obligations of the City under this Contract are subject to
annual appropriation by the Burlington City Council. If no funds or insufficient funds are
appropriated or budgeted to support continuation of payments due under this Contract, the
Contract shall terminate automatically on the first day of the fiscal year for which funds have
not been appropriated. The Parties understand and agree that the obligations of the City to
make payments under this Contract shall constitute a current expense of the City and shall not
be construed to be a debt or a pledge of the credit of the City. The decision whether or not to
budget and appropriate funds during each fiscal year of the City is within the discretion of the
Mayor and City Council of the City. The City shall deliver written notice to Consultant as soon
as practicable of any non-appropriation, and Contract Consultant shall not be entitled to any
payment or compensation of any kind for work performed after the City has delivered written
notice of non-appropriation.
19. CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS: No changes or amendments to the Work of the Contract
shall be effective unless documented in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the
City and the Consultant.
20. EXTENSION OF TIME: The Consultant agrees to prosecute the work continuously and
diligently and no charges or claims for damages shall be made by the Consultant for delays or
hindrances, from any cause whatsoever, during the progress of any portion of services specified
in the Contract. Such delays or hindrances, if any, may be compensated for by an extension of
time for such reasonable period as the City may decide. Time extensions shall be granted by
amendment, only for excusable delays, such as delays beyond the control of the Consultant
and without the fault or negligence of the Consultant.

Page 244 of 320
21. PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY:
A. Compliance with Mandates and Guidance: The Consultant is advised that public health
emergencies—meaning public health emergencies, as declared by the City, the State of
Vermont, or the Federal Government—may introduce significant uncertainty into the
project. The Consultant must comply with all local, state, federal orders, directives,
regulations, guidance, advisories during a public health emergency. Consultant shall
adhere to the below provisions and consider public health emergencies as it develops
project schedules and advances the Work.
B. Creation of Public Health Emergency Plan: For any work performed on-site at a City
location, the Consultant shall create a public health emergency plan acceptable to the City.
The Consultant shall be responsible for following this plan and ensuring that the project or
site is stable and in a safe and maintainable condition.
a. Public Health Emergency Plan: The Public Health Emergency Plan will contain:
i. Measures to manage risk and mitigate potential impacts to the health and
safety of the public, the City and Consultant’s workers;
ii. Explicit reference to any health and safety performance standards and
mandates provided by the City, the State of Vermont, the Federal
government, or other relevant governmental entities;
iii. A schedule for possible updates to the plan as standards and mandates
change; and
iv. Means to adjust the schedule and sequence of work should the emergency
change in nature or duration.
b. Review and Acceptance of Plan:
i. Consultant must provide the plan to the City by the Effective Date of this
Contract or by one (1) week prior to the commencement of on-site activities,
whichever is later.
ii. The City shall have sole discretion to require changes to the plan.
iii. The City may revisit the plan at any time to verify compliance with
obligations that arise under a state of emergency.
C. Enforcement & Stoppage of Work: Consultant fails to comply with either 1) the approved
public health emergency plan, or 2) any local, state, federal orders, directives, regulations,
guidance, or advisories during a public health emergency, the City may stop Work under
the Contract until such failure is corrected. Such failure to comply shall constitute a breach
of the Contract.
Upon stoppage of work, the City may allow Work to resume, at a time determined by the
City, under this Contract if such failure to comply is adequately corrected. The City shall
have sole discretion in determining if Consultant has adequately corrected its failure to
comply with the above.
Page 6 of 13
Page 245 of 320
If Consultant’s breach of Contract has not been cured within seven (7) days after notice to
stop Work from the City, then City may terminate this Contract, at its discretion.
D. City Liability Relating to Potential Delays: If a public health emergency is declared, the
City will not be responsible for any delays related to the sequence of operations or any
expenses or losses incurred as a result of any delays. Any delays related to a public health
emergency will be excusable, but will not be compensable.
22. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither Party to this Contract shall be liable to the other for any failure
or delay of performance of any obligation under this Contract to the extent the failure or delay
is caused by acts of God, public health emergencies, epidemics, acts of the public enemy, acts
of superior governmental authority, weather conditions, riots, rebellion, sabotage, or any other
circumstances for which it is not responsible or which is not under its control (“Force
Majeure”). To assert Force Majeure, the nonperforming party must prove that a) it made all
reasonable efforts to remove, eliminate, or minimize the cause of delay or damage, b) diligently
pursued performance of its obligations, c) substantially fulfilled all obligations that could be
fulfilled, and d) timely notified the other part of the likelihood or actual occurrence of a Force
Majeure event. If any such causes for delay are of such magnitude as to prevent the complete
performance of the Contract within two (2) years of the originally scheduled completion date,
either Party may by written notice request to amend or terminate the Contract. The suspension
of any obligations under this section shall not cause the term of this Contract to be extended
and shall not affect any rights accrued under this Contract prior to the occurrence of the Force
Majeure. The Party giving notice of the Force Majeure shall also give notice of its cessation.
23. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK, ADDITIONAL SERVICES OR CHANGES: The City
may, in writing, and without invalidating the Contract, require changes resulting from revision or
abandonment of work already performed by the Consultant or changes in the scope of work.
The value of such changes, to the extent not reflected in other payments to the Consultant, shall
be incorporated in an amendment and be determined by mutual agreement. Any adjustments of
this nature shall be executed under the appropriate fee established in the Contract, based on the
adjusted quantity of work.
No changes for which additional fee payment is claimed shall be made unless pursuant to a written
order from the City, and no claim for payment shall be valid unless so ordered.
The Consultant agrees to maintain complete and accurate records, in a form satisfactory to the
City for all time devoted directly to same by Consultant employees. The City reserves the right
to audit the records of the Consultant related to any extra work or additional services. Any such
services rendered shall be subject, in all other respects, to the terms of the Contract. When changes
are so ordered, no additional work shall be performed by the Consultant until a Contract
amendment has been fully executed, unless written notice to proceed is issued by the City. Any
claim for extension of time that may be necessitated as a result of extra work or additional services
and changes shall be given consideration and evaluated insofar as it directly relates to the change.
Page 7 of 13
Page 246 of 320
24. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH TIME SCHEDULE: If the City is dissatisfied because of
slow progress or incompetence in the performance of the Work in accordance with the schedule
for completion of the various aspects of construction, the City shall give the Consultant written
notice in which the City shall specify in detail the cause of dissatisfaction. Should the
Consultant fail or refuse to remedy the matters complained of within five days after the written
notice is received by the Consultant, the City shall have the right to take control of the Work
and either make good the deficiencies of the Consultant itself or direct the activities of the
Consultant in doing so, employing such additional help as the City deems advisable. In such
events, the City shall be entitled to collect from the Consultant any expenses in completing the
Work. In addition, the City may withhold from the amount payable to the Consultant an
amount approximately equal to any interest lost or charges incurred by the City for each
calendar day that the Consultant is in default after the time of completion stipulated in the
Contract Documents.
25. RETURN OF MATERIALS: Consultant agrees that at the expiration or termination of this
Contract, it shall return to City all materials provided to it during its engagement on behalf of
City.
26. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL PAYMENT; RELEASE: Consultant’s acceptance of the final
payment shall be a release in full of all claims against the City or its agents arising out of or by
reason of the Work. Any payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not release the Consultant
or their sureties from any obligations under the Contract Documents or any performance or
payment bond.
27. OWNERSHIP OF THE WORK: The Consultant agrees that the ownership of all studies,
data sheets, survey notes, subsoil information, drawings, tracings, estimates, specifications,
proposals, diagrams, calculations, EDM and other material prepared or collected by the
Consultant, hereafter referred to as "instruments of professional service", shall become the
property of the City as they are prepared and/or developed during execution of the Contract.
The Consultant agrees to allow the City access to all “instruments of professional service” at
any time. The Consultant shall not copyright any material originating under the Contract
without prior written approval of the City. No publications or publicity of the work, in part or
in total, shall be made without the express written agreement of the City, except that Consultant
may in general terms use previously developed instruments of professional service to describe
its abilities for a project in promotional materials.
28. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: The Parties under the Contract hereby mutually agree that, if
patentable discoveries or inventions should result from work performed by the Consultants
under the Contract, all rights accruing from such discoveries or inventions shall be the sole
property of the Consultant. The Consultant, however, agrees to and does hereby grant to the
City an irrevocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to the
manufacture, use, and disposition of any discovery or invention that may be developed as a
part of the Work under the Contract.
29. PUBLIC RECORDS: The Consultant understands that any and all records related to and
acquired by the City, whether electronic, paper, or otherwise recorded, are subject to the
Page 8 of 13
Page 247 of 320
Vermont Public Records Act and that the determination of how those records must be handled
is solely within the purview of City. The Consultant shall identify all records that it considers
to be trade secrets as that term is defined by subsection 317(c)(9) of the Vermont Public
Records Act and shall also identify all other records it considers to be exempt under the Act.
It is not sufficient to merely state generally that the record is proprietary or a trade secret or is
otherwise exempt. Particular records, pages or section which are believed to be exempt must
be specifically identified as such and must be separated from other records with a convincing
explanation and rationale sufficient to justify each exemption from release consistent with
Section 317 of Title 1 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated.
30. RECORDS RETENTION AND ACCESS: The Consultant agrees to retain, in its files, and
to produce to the City—within the time periods requested—all books, documents, Electronic
Data Media (EDM), accounting records, and other records produced or acquired by the
Consultant in the performance of this Contract which are related to the City, at any time during
this Contract and for a period of at least three (3) years after its completion or termination. In
addition, if any audit, claim, or litigation is commenced before the expiration of that three (3)
year period, the records shall be retained until all related audits, claims, or litigation are
resolved. The Consultant further agrees that the City shall have access to all the above
information for the purpose of review and audit during the Contract period and anytime within
the aforementioned retention period. Copies of all of the above referenced information shall
be provided to the City, if requested, in the format in which the records were obtained, created,
or maintained, such that their original use and purpose can be achieved. Consultant, sub-
consultants, or their representatives performing work related to the Contract, are responsible to
ensure that all data and information created or stored on EDM is secure and can be duplicated
and used if the EDM mechanism is subjected to power outage, obsolescence, or damage.
31. CONTRACT DISPUTES: In the event of a dispute between the parties to this Contract each
party will continue to perform its obligations unless the Contract is terminated in accordance
with these terms.
32. SETTLEMENTS OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Neither Party shall file any litigation
arising from this Contract without first attempting in good faith to resolve the Parties’ dispute
through negotiated settlement or mediation; provided, however, that any applicable statute of
limitations shall toll during any period in which the Parties are actively and mutually engaged
in dispute resolution; and provided further that nothing herein shall prevent either Party from
seeking emergency relief in appropriate circumstances from a court of competent jurisdiction.
33. CITY'S OPTION TO TERMINATE: The Contract may be terminated in accordance with
the following provisions, which are not exclusive:
A. Termination for Convenience: At any time prior to completion of services specified under
the Contract, the City may terminate the Contract for any reason by submitting written
notice via certified or registered mail to the Consultant, not less than fifteen (15) days prior
to the termination date, of its intention to do so. If the termination is for the City’s
convenience, payment to the Consultant will be made promptly for the amount of any fees
earned to the date of the notice of termination and costs of materials obtained in preparation
Page 9 of 13
Page 248 of 320
for Work but not yet installed or delivered, less any payments previously made. However,
if a notice of termination is given to a Consultant prior to completion of twenty (20) percent
of the estimated services, as set forth in the approved Work Schedule and Progress Report,
the Consultant will be reimbursed for that portion of any reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred to date of the notice of termination that are in excess of the amount
earned under its approved fee to the date of said termination. Such requests for
reimbursement shall be supported with factual data and shall be subject to the City’s
approval. The Consultant shall make no claim for additional compensation against the City
by reason of such termination.
B. Termination for Cause:
i. Breach: Consultant shall be in default if Consultant fails in any manner to fully
perform and carry out each and all conditions of this Contract, including, but not
limited to, Consultant’s failure to begin or to prosecute the Work in a timely manner
or to make progress as to endanger performance of this Contract; failure to supply a
sufficient number of properly skilled employees or a sufficient quantity of materials
of proper quality; failure to perform the Work unsatisfactorily as determined by the
City; failure to neglect or refuse to remove materials; or in the event of a breach of
warranty with respect to any materials, workmanship, or performance guaranty.
Consultant will not be in default for any excusable delays as provided in Sections 19-
21.
The City may give Consultant written notice of such default. If Consultant does not
cure such default or provide a plan to cure such default which is acceptable to the
City within the time permitted by the City, then the City may terminate this contract
for cause.
ii. Proceedings for Relief of Debtors: If a federal or state proceeding for relief of debtors is
undertaken by or against Consultant, or if Consultant makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, then the City may immediately terminate this contract.
iii. Dishonest Conduct: If Consultant engages in any dishonest conduct related to the
performance or administration of this Contract then the City may immediately terminate
this contract.
iv. Cover: In the event the City terminates this contract as provided in this section, the City
may procure, upon such terms and in such manner as the City may deem appropriate,
services similar in scope and level of effort to those so terminated, and Consultant shall
be liable to the City for all of its costs and damages, including, but not limited to, any
excess costs for such services, interest, or other charges the City incurs to cover.
Page 10 of 13
Page 249 of 320
v. Rights and Remedies Not Exclusive: The rights and remedies of the City provided in this
section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or under this Contract.
34. GENERAL COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS: The Consultant and any subconsultant
approved under this Contract shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws,
including but not limited to the Burlington Livable Wage Ordinance, the Non-Outsourcing
Ordinance, and the Union-Deterrence Ordinance and shall provide the required certifications
attesting to compliance with these ordinances (see attached ordinances and certifications).
Provisions of the Contract shall be interpreted and implemented in a manner consistent with
each other and using procedures that will achieve the intent of both Parties. If, for any reason,
a provision in the Contract is unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be deemed severed
from the Contract, and the remaining provisions shall be carried out with the same force and
effect as if the severed provisions had never been a part of the Contract.
35. CIVIL RIGHTS AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: During performance

equipment. The Parties agree that neither the Consultant nor its principal(s) or employees are

assigns. If a dispute arises between the Parties, each Party will continue to perform its
obligations under this Contract during the resolution of the dispute, until the Contract is
terminated in accordance with its terms.

and effect, provided that the Parties can continue to perform their obligations under this
Contract in accordance with the intent of this Contract.
49. ENTIRE CONTRACT & AGREEMENT: This Contract constitutes the entire Contract,
agreement, and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Contract.

and typical sample sheets for guidance and assistance to the Consultant in the performance of
the work. It is understood, however, that such forms and samples may be modified, altered,
and augmented from time to time by the City as occasions may require. It is the responsibility
of the Consultant to ensure that they have the latest versions applicable to the Contract.

confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the Parties. Enforcement of

services or benefits which third parties receive as a result of this Contract are incidental to this
Contract, and do not create any rights for such third parties.

right, power, or privilege under this Contract, whether explicit or by lack of enforcement, shall
not operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege.

All policies shall be endorsed to provide the City thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation. Each
policy (except workers compensation/employers’ liability) shall be endorsed to name the City and
its officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns as additional insureds on a primary, non-
contributory basis. Each policy hall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City.
INDEMNIFICATION:
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the City and its officers and employees from liability and claims, suits, fines, penalties, expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and costs), losses, liens, judgments, and damages of any kind or nature
whatsoever (collectively, “Claims”) arising as a result of the Contractor’s acts and/or omissions in
the performance this Contract.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Professional Negligence (defined below), (i) the
Contractor shall not have a defense duty to the City or its officers and employees; and (ii) the
Contractor’s duty to indemnify and hold harmless the City and its officers and employees shall be
limited to the extent of the Contractor’s actual fault; provided, however, that the Contractor’s
indemnification obligation with respect to Professional Negligence shall include the obligation to
reimburse defense costs in the event and to the extent such costs are incurred and paid by the City
as the proximate cause of said Professional Negligence.
As used herein, “Professional Negligence” means a failure by the Contractor to exercise that
degree of skill and care ordinarily possessed by a reasonably prudent professional practicing in the
same or similar locality and providing the same or similar services. For greater clarity,
Professional Negligence generally includes the type of negligence covered under a Professional
Liability/Errors & Omissions policy of insurance but not necessarily under a Commercial General
Liability or Automobile Liability policy of insurance.

Re: Authorization to Accept HUD Continuum of Care New Horizons Permanent
Supportive Housing grant (VT0030L1T012415) Fiscal Year 2025, $849,978
REQUEST
The Community & Economic Development Office (CEDO) seeks Board of Finance and City Council
approval for the City to accept the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Continuum of Care (CoC) New Horizons Permanent Supportive Housing grant (VT0030L1T012415) for
fiscal year 2025, in the amount of $849,978.
The grant supports the New Horizons Permanent Supportive Housing program, which provides long-
term tenant-based rental assistance and supportive services for up to 41 individuals.
Background
The Continuum of Care (CoC) refers to both a regional coalition and a coordinated system of programs
and funding designed to meet the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Locally,
the Chittenden County Homeless Alliance (CCHA) serves as the Continuum of Care coalition, bringing
together service providers, community organizations, and government partners with the shared goal of
making homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.
The City of Burlington assumed administration of the New Horizons Permanent Supportive Housing
(PSH) grant in 2021 and has operated the program in partnership with Burlington Housing Authority,
Community Health Centers of Burlington's Safe Harbor program, and Pathways Vermont. Through these
partnerships, the grant provides rental assistance and supportive services for individuals experiencing
chronic homelessness and living with disabling conditions. PSH combines stable housing with case
management and supportive services designed to help participants maintain housing, build independent
living skills, and connect with community-based health care, treatment, and employment resources.
Page 315 of 320
As federal requirements and guidance related to Continuum of Care funding have evolved, CCHA
partners have evaluated the long-term administration of CoC-funded programs to ensure continued
eligibility and reduce risk to critical housing resources. Similar to the January 2026 transition of the CoC
Collaborative Applicant role from the City of Burlington to United Way of Northwest Vermont, the
community has identified Vermont State Housing Authority (VSHA) as the preferred long-term
administrator of the New Horizons PSH grant. VSHA currently administers permanent supportive
housing grants for Vermont's Balance of State Continuum of Care and has the experience and capacity
to provide long-term stewardship of these federal resources.
Due to HUD's grant renewal process and timelines, the FY2025 New Horizons grant must first be
renewed and accepted by the City of Burlington before a transfer can occur so there is no gap in access
to the PSH funding. The CCHA approved the transition of grant administration to VSHA on June 18,
2026, and the City, CCHA, VSHA, and HUD will work through HUD's grant transfer process over the
coming months. During this period, the City will continue administering the grant to ensure there is no
interruption in housing assistance or supportive services for participating households.
Approval of this grant acceptance will preserve critical federal funding for permanent supportive
housing in Chittenden County while allowing the community to complete the planned transition of grant
administration to VSHA without disruption to participants or services.
Grant Details & Implementation
The City of Burlington will serve as the grant recipient for the FY2025 New Horizons Permanent
Supportive Housing grant and will continue administering the program while working with HUD and
VSHA to complete the planned transfer of grant administration. Throughout this transition, the City will
provide administrative support, historical program knowledge, and technical assistance to help ensure a
seamless handoff and uninterrupted services for program participants. Once the transfer is complete,
VSHA will assume all responsibilities for the FY2025 grant and beyond.
This approach preserves critical federal funding for the community and ensures there is no gap in
housing assistance or supportive services that could place residents' housing stability at risk.
The total grant amount is $849,978, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through
August 31, 2027. No General Fund dollars are required.
