November 3, 2020
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the Town Council, and Citizens of the Town of Fountain
Hills:
State law requires that all general-purpose local governments publish, within six months of the
close of each fiscal year, a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and audited in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States by a certified public
accounting firm licensed in the State of Arizona. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the Town of Fountain Hills (Town) for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the Town.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all
of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these
representations, management of the Town has established a comprehensive internal control
framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and
to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Town of Fountain Hills’s
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the
Town’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable
rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free of material misstatement.
As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is
complete and reliable in all material respects.
The Town’s financial statements have been audited by Heinfeld, Meech & Co., P.C., a certified
public accounting firm. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance
that the financial statements of the Town for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, are free of
material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. The independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that
there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Town’s financial
statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, are fairly presented in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent
auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
16705 E. Avenue of the Fountains, Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
480.816.5100 | Fax: 480.837.3145
Generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States of America require that management
provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial
statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The
Town of Fountain Hills’ MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent
auditors.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The Town of Fountain Hills overlooks the Verde River Valley and the east valley of the metro
Phoenix area. The Town is a master planned community established in 1970 by McCulloch
Properties (now MCO Properties, Inc.). Prior to 1970, the area was a cattle ranch and was part of
one of the largest land and cattle holdings in Arizona. The land was purchased by Robert
McCulloch in the late 1960s and the community designed by Charles Wood, Jr. (designer of
Disneyland in southern California). The centerpiece of Fountain Hills is one of the world's tallest
man-made fountains, a focal point that attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Located on 13,006 acres of land, Fountain Hills is surrounded by the McDowell Mountains and
Scottsdale on the west, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation on the east, the Salt River Pima-
Maricopa Indian Community on the south, and by the McDowell Mountain Regional Park on the
north. The elevation is 1,520 feet at the fountain, 2,460 feet at the Adero Canyon Trailhead, and is
approximately 500 feet above Phoenix.
Over the past twenty-six plus years, Fountain Hills has grown from 10,190 residents to a town of
25,200 in 2019. On June 5, 2006, the Town of Fountain Hills became twenty square miles and
about ten percent larger by annexing 1,300 acres of State Trust Land. The process to annex the
State Trust Land occurred over a two and one-half year period and development of the land will
occur over the next decade. Annexing this property into the Town ensures that its future
development will be of the highest quality under Town standards.
The Town offers a wide range of living
accommodations, from small
condominium complexes to large custom
homes. Fountain Hills also offers
recreational and cultural programs and
services that contribute to a high quality
of life for its residents. The community
consists of primarily residential property
and open space; of the total 20.32 square
miles of land, only 2.5% of the total is
zoned commercial and/or industrial,
23.3% is preserved as open space and
51.0% is residential.

The Town’s Mission Statement
The Town of Fountain Hills’ purpose is to serve the best interests of the community by:
providing for its safety and well-being;
respecting its special, small-town character and quality of life;
providing superior public services;
sustaining the public trust through open and responsive government;
and maintaining the stewardship and preservation of its financial and natural resources.
To serve, respect, and provide trust and stewardship.
The Town of Fountain Hills is an Arizona municipal corporation, acting as a general law town as
prescribed in the Arizona Revised Statutes. The Town was incorporated on December 5, 1989,
with the governmental and administrative affairs of the Town operating under the Council-
Manager form of government. Legislative authority is vested in a seven member Town Council.
The Mayor is a member of the Town Council who is directly elected by voters and chairs the Town
Council meetings. The members of the Council are elected at large and serve four year overlapping
terms. The Town Council is responsible for the adoption of local ordinances, budget adoption,
appointment of residents to citizen advisory committees and hiring the Town Manager. The Town
Manager is responsible for implementation of the policies of the Town Council and overall
management of the Town through department directors and approximately 61 FTE employees.
The Presiding Judge, Town Attorney, and Town Prosecutor are under the direction of the Town
Council.
The Town provides or administers a full range of services
including public safety (law enforcement, fire and
emergency medical services); development services (code
enforcement, planning and zoning); public works
(including construction and maintenance of streets and
infrastructure); municipal court; recreational activities;
community center; senior services and cultural events.
The Town does not maintain utility or other operations
that require the establishment of enterprise funds.

The financial reporting entity (the Town) includes all the funds of the primary government (i.e., the
Town of Fountain Hills as legally defined) as well as all of its component units. The component units
consist of legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the primary
government’s operations and are included as part of the primary government. Accordingly, the
Cottonwoods Maintenance District, the Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District and the
Fountain Hills Municipal Property Corporation are included in the financial report of the Town.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the Town of Fountain Hills
operates.
Internal Controls. As earlier noted, the management of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona, is
responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control. Internal accounting controls
are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding;
1) Safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or deposition, and
2) Reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining
accountability for assets.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes:
1) The cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and
2) The valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
The system of internal control is subject to periodic evaluation by management and is also considered
by the independent auditors in connection with the annual audit of the Town’s financial statements. All
internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. The Town's internal accounting
controls are considered to adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper
recording of financial transactions.
Budgetary Controls. The budget process is a cyclical process and begins each year with the
preparation of the base budget by each department head. Each budget is based on expenditures to date
and the previous years’ experience. The departments’ base budgets, along with any requests for new
positions, programs or services are reviewed by the Town Manager. The Town Manager then meets
with department heads to review their base budgets and requests for new services and/or programs.
Once management has reviewed the departments’ requests, a tentative budget is presented to the Town
Council by the Town Manager.
Page 4
The Town Council formally adopts the budget and appropriates funding for the General Fund, Special
Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Capital Projects Funds. Therefore, these funds have
appropriated budgets, and budget to actual information is presented. In April/May, the Town Manager
submits to the Town Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1st.
The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The Town Council is
legally required to hold public hearings on the proposed budget in order to obtain comments from local
taxpayers and to adopt a final budget by June 30th, the close of the Town of Fountain Hills’ fiscal year.
The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution and is prepared by fund and department.
The resolution sets the limit for expenditures during the fiscal year. The Town Manager may authorize
transfers from and within personnel and from operating capital to services or supplies within a
department. Additional expenditures may be authorized for expenditures directly necessitated by a
natural or man-made disaster as prescribed in the State Constitution, Article IX, Section 20.
The Town is subject to the State of Arizona’s Expenditure Limitation Law for Towns and Cities. This
law does not permit the Town to spend more than budgeted revenues plus the carry-over of unrestricted
cash balance from the prior fiscal year. The limitation is applied to the total of the combined funds. All
appropriations lapse at year-end.
To ensure compliance with the state imposed expenditure limitation, a uniform expenditure report must
be filed with the state each year. This report reconciles total Town expenditures from the audited
financial statements to total expenditures for reporting in accordance with the state’s uniform
expenditure reporting system (ARS Section 41-1279.07).
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department. Department heads may make transfers of
appropriations within the department. Transfers of appropriations between departments, however,
require Town Council approval. Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each
individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. Budget-to-
actual comparisons for the General Fund and Major Special Revenue Funds are presented in the
Required Supplementary Information and all other funds are presented in Combining and Individual
Fund Financial Statements and Schedules.
Local Economy. The Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona, continues to face many issues during these
uncertain economic times. Its citizens, governing body, and municipal government are committed to
finding solutions for each of these issues. In order to address these issues, the Town has proposed a
baseline budget requiring any new positions to be deemed mission critical. All vacancies will be
evaluated to assess the need for replacement, including possible modification or elimination of the job
description. The Town will be closely monitoring its revenue sources and make adjustments
accordingly.
Overall local sales tax receipts continued to increase during the fiscal year, partly due to a 0.3% rate
increase that became effective on November 1, 2019 for most sales tax categories. The following chart
is a look at the past five years’ local sales tax activity by sector:
Page 5
As shown in the chart, sales tax collections remained relatively steady across most sectors. Retail sales
experienced a significant 28.7% increase over the prior year, and Transportation/Utility revenues
increased 8.9% from FY18-19. Construction sales tax, a one-time revenue source, is driven entirely by
development activity in the community, and it decreased by 1.2% from the prior year. Recent building
permit activity indicates that construction sales tax is likely to increase over the next fiscal year. The
Restaurant/Bar sector was the only other sector to decrease during the year with a 0.2% drop in
revenues.
Construction activity provides revenue to the Town through local sales tax, the proceeds of which are
utilized for general operations and capital expenditures. Without the resources to fund capital projects,
the Town must find additional funds to pay for necessary infrastructure projects. For operating costs,
the Town is dependent upon State-shared revenues and local sales tax as a major source of operating
revenue, accounting for 87% of total General Fund revenue for fiscal year 2019-20.
State-shared revenues are derived as a proportionate share of state sales, income and vehicle license
taxes which are distributed based on the Town’s population compared to all other incorporated cities
and towns in Arizona (currently 0.4%). State-shared income tax revenue category is based on two years
prior personal and corporate earnings, and revenue from this source increased by 8.5% in FY19-20.
State sales tax has increased over the past several years, and this trend continued by increasing revenue
by 4.3% compared to the prior year.
Other local activity has remained fairly static during the period due to the lack of major retailers (the
Town has three grocery stores and one major retailer). Fountain Hills is past the historic period of rapid
growth, and the long-term economic outlook for the Town must recognize this fact. The opportunity to
further expand the retail tax base in Fountain Hills is limited by the lack of available commercial land
– over 70% of the currently available commercial lots are already developed.
Page 6
Development Activity over the past year:
Development Services has been involved with the following development activities during fiscal year
2019-20 (7/1/2019 – 6/30/2020):
o Three Temporary Visitor Permits were issued.
o One Temporary User Permit was issued.
o Three Site Plans were approved during the period.
o Two Special Use Permits were granted.

Economic Outlook.
Local Sales Tax – Not having a property tax, the Town of Fountain Hills relies heavily on Town
transaction privilege tax (TPT), sometimes called a sales tax. Overall, sales tax revenues provide over
50% of the General Fund revenues. On November 1, 2019 the Town’s TPT rate went up 0.3% resulting
in a total TPT rate of 2.9% for most categories. Sales taxes received from the Construction category is
equally divided between the General Fund and the Capital Projects Fund.
State-Shared Revenues – The Town of Fountain Hills receives significant revenue allocations from
the State. These "State-Shared Revenues" include allocations of the state-collected income tax, sales
tax, fuel tax, and motor vehicle license tax. Revenues received from income tax, sales tax, and a portion
of vehicle license tax are placed in the Town's General Fund, where it is used to sustain a large portion
of the Town's day-to-day activities. Revenues from the fuel tax and the majority of the vehicle license
tax are placed in the Streets Fund (discussed in the next section) and are restricted as to their use.
Overall, State-Shared Revenues have steadily increased from year-to-year.
Streets Fund – The State-Shared fuel tax, referred to as Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF), is
placed in the Streets Fund to be used specifically for street maintenance and related activity. In addition
to the fuel tax, 70% of the revenues received from the vehicle license tax are placed in the Streets Fund
to be used for these same purposes.
Long-term Financial Planning. Fountain Hills’ Financial Policies are balanced on sound financial
reserves and conservative revenue growth forecasts for the foreseeable future. Potential for State
legislative impacts to revenue-sharing or local revenues and additional demands for essential Town
services remain. The Town’s Financial Policies set forth guidelines against which current budgetary
performance can be measured and proposals for future programs can be evaluated.
The Town’s Financial Policies have helped weather the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus
pandemic. This policy continues to require the Town to internally restrict an amount equal to 20% of
the average actual General Fund revenues for the preceding five fiscal years as part of its General Fund
balance. This amount is estimated to be approximately 60 days of expenditure coverage and is
considered a “Rainy Day” fund.
Additionally, a reserve of 20% of the average actual General Fund revenues for the preceding five
fiscal years will be maintained as Unassigned Fund Balance. This additional fund balance reserve will
provide increased flexibility in the event of unanticipated decreases in revenue collection.
The Council also adopted Financial Policies that include guidelines for the issuance of debt for capital
expenditures, community facility districts, financing alternatives, expenditure controls and financial
planning. The policy was amended during FY 09-10 to reduce the allocation of the local construction
sales tax to the Capital Projects Fund from 85% to 50%, reflecting the transition from one-time building
activity to ongoing redevelopment activity. The debt policy was prepared with a preference for “pay-
as-you-go” financing for capital spending; however, the policy did not anticipate the lack of funding
for capital projects, and the use of bond funding should be reconsidered.

In early 2009, the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission (SPAC) began the process of gathering
public input to update the Strategic Plan’s vision, confirm residents’ values, and create a fresh structure
for the Strategic Plan revision. Subsequently, Strategic Plan 2010 was built upon the foundation of a
clearly defined vision statement and eight key values, with specific indicators to evaluate Council and
staff priorities. In 2017, SPAC again updated the Strategic Plan. Based on citizen input, the newest
Strategic Plan is designed to guide our future decisions grounded on these common values:
1. Economic Growth
2. Infrastructure Maintenance
3. Demographic Balance
4. Financial Stability and Sustainability
5. Community and Quality of Life
These values guide the Town’s annual budget process.
MAJOR INITIATIVES AND SERVICE EFFORTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Town of Fountain Hills’ adopted FY19-20 budget reflected the continued slow recovery in the
local economy, which is also somewhat mirrored at the national and state levels. Due to the challenging
economic conditions of the recession, the Town had made significant reductions in staff and service
levels in past years. This reduction was accomplished by a thorough assessment of all existing and
proposed programs and workload. As a result, Town staffing was reduced from 115 Full-Time
Equivalents (FTEs) to 62.07 FTEs in FY19-20.
The Town Council established priorities in FY16-17, and the two top priorities were determined to be
Economic Development and Pavement Management. In order to implement the Pavement Management
program, the Council approved the use of Vehicle License Tax revenues to annual pavement
maintenance with an effective date of July 1, 2013. Also, effective July 1, 2016, 0.2% of local sales tax
revenues that had been allocated to MPC debt service payments were reallocated to pavement
maintenance. Economic Development initiatives are funded through a dedicated portion of the local
sales tax which provides funding for business attraction, retention and expansion.
For the Year. The following list depicts the continued commitment of the Town of Fountain Hills to
make the community a better place to live. Fiscal year 2019-20 goals attained are summarized within
this list of accomplishments:
Implemented a 0.3% local sales tax increase to ensure adequate funding of Town operations
Secured grant funding from the Arizona Office of Tourism - Proposition 302
Secured grant funding from Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community - Proposition 202
Received Council approval of the Ten-Year Pavement Management Plan
Completed a Development Fee Study resulting in updated funding sources for new parks,
streets, and fire protection infrastructure
Completed a major update to audio-visual equipment in Council Chambers to increase
quality of community broadcasts and presentations

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Awards. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Town of Fountain Hills for its
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. This was the
twenty-fourth consecutive year that the Town has received this prestigious award. In order to be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the Town published an easily readable and efficiently organized
CAFR. This report satisfied both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to
the GFOA to determine its eligibility for the fiscal year ended 2020 Certificate.
For the eighth year, the Town was also given the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular
Annual Financial Reporting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
In addition, the government received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its
annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. In order to qualify for the Distinguished
Budget Presentation Award, the government’s budget document was judged to be proficient in several
categories, including as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications
device. This is the eighteenth consecutive year that the Town has received the award.
Acknowledgments. The preparation of this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report could not have
been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated services of the entire team of the Finance
Division. I also wish to extend my appreciation to the Mayor and members of Town Council for their
leadership and support in planning and conducting the financial affairs of the Town in a responsible
and progressive manner. Each employee of the Town has my sincere appreciation for the contributions
made in the preparation of this report.
Respectfully submitted,
Grady E. Miller

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Town Council
Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona (the Town), as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Town’s
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General
of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona, as of June 30, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position
thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Page 17
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and budgetary comparison information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge
we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to
express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Town’s basic financial statements. The Introductory Section, Combining and Individual Fund
Financial Statements and Schedules, and Statistical Section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules are the responsibility of management
and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements
or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual
Fund Financial Statements and Schedules information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
The Introductory Section and Statistical Section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 3, 2020,
on our consideration of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
As management of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona (Town), we offer readers of the Town’s
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Town
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. This discussion and analysis is intended to be an easily
readable breakdown of the Town of Fountain Hills’ financial activities based on currently known
facts, decisions and conditions. This analysis focuses on current year activities and operations and
should be read in combination with the transmittal letter and the financial statements that follow.
The management’s discussion and analysis is presented as required supplementary information
to supplement the basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Town’s total net position of governmental activities increased $0.5 million to $124.2
million, representing a 0.4 percent increase of the total net position.
General revenues from governmental activities accounted for $23.3 million in revenue, or
85.7 percent of all revenues from governmental activities. Program specific revenues in the
form of charges for services and grants and contributions accounted for $3.9 million or 14.3
percent of total governmental activities revenues.
The Town had $26.8 million in expenses related to governmental activities, an increase of 1.3
percent from the prior fiscal year, primarily due to increased public safety costs.
Among the major governmental funds, the General Fund had $19.4 million in current fiscal
year revenues, which consisted primarily of taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The total
expenditures of the General Fund were $16.3 million. The General Fund’s fund balance
increased $2.1 million to $9.4 million at the end of the current fiscal year.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town’s basic financial
statements. The Town’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-
wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements provide
readers with a broad overview of the Town’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business. These statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the Town’s assets, liabilities, and
deferred inflows/outflows of resources with the difference reported as net position. Over time,
increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the Town is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the Town’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus,
revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash
flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., earned but unused compensated absences).
The government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities). The governmental
activities of the Town include administration, development services, public safety, public works,
and culture and recreation.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town
uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. All of the funds of the Town are included in governmental funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements use the modified accrual basis of accounting and focus on near-term inflows of
spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the
fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the Town’s near-term financing
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the Town’s near-term
financing decision. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued
Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the
General, Highway User Revenue (HURF), Grants, Capital Projects and all Debt Service Funds, all
of which are considered major funds. Data from other governmental funds are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental
funds is provided in the form of combining statements and schedules.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a
full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The
notes to the financial statements can be found immediately following the basic financial
statements.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this
report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the Town’s budget
process. The Town adopts an annual budget for all governmental funds. A schedule of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances - budget and actual has been provided for the General
Fund and major Special Revenue Funds as required supplementary information.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
While this document contains information about the funds used by the Town to provide services
to our citizens, the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities serve to provide an
answer to the question of how the Town, as a whole, did financially throughout the year. These
statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting similar to the
accounting used by the private sector. The basis for this accounting takes into account all of the
current year’s revenues and expenses regardless of when the cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the Town’s assets and the changes in those assets. The change in
assets is important because it tells the reader whether the financial position of the Town as a whole
has improved or diminished. However, in evaluating the overall position of the Town, non-
financial information such as changes in the Town’s tax base and the condition of the Town’s
capital assets will also need to be evaluated.
Analysis of Net Position. Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s
financial position. In the case of the Town, assets related to governmental activities exceeded
liabilities by $124.2 million at the end of the fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS – continued
The largest portion of the Town’s governmental activities net position reflects its investment in
capital assets (e.g., land, infrastructure, buildings and improvements, vehicles, machinery and
equipment and construction in progress); less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those
assets. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these
assets are not available for future spending. Although the Town’s investment in its capital assets
is reported net of related outstanding debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay
this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used
to liquidate these liabilities. In addition, a portion of the Town’s net position represents resources
that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance is
unrestricted and may be used to meet the Town’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors.
The following tables present a summary of the Town’s net position for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

position categories in the prior fiscal year.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS – continued

of net position.
Fees, Fines and Charges for Services revenue decreased 33.4 percent compared to the prior

Investment income decreased in the current year 1.5 percent over the prior year due to the
coronavirus pandemic, slowing economy, and lower interest rates.
Interest on long-term debt decreased 98.5 percent due to the retirement of all town-wide
bonded debt.
Public safety costs, which include fire protection and police services, increased 10.6
percent; the fire contract is multi-year with automatic increases while the police contract is
based on cost reimbursement.
Overall, expenses increased 1.3 percent due primarily to increase public safety costs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWN’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the Town’s governmental funds is to provide information on
near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the Town’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as
a useful measure of the Town’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
The financial performance of the Town as a whole is reflected in its governmental funds. As the
Town completed the year, its governmental funds reported an increase of $1.2 million in the
combined fund balance from $19.3 million to $20.5 million.
The General Fund comprises 45.9 percent of the total fund balance. Approximately $5.5 million
or 58.8 percent of the General Fund’s fund balance is unassigned.
The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the Town. The fund balance increased by $2.1
million to $9.4 million as of fiscal year end. General Fund revenues increased $1.9 million
primarily due to increased local sales tax collections. General Fund expenditures increased $1.7
million. In addition to the increases of the public safety contracts, the Town also replaced a fire
truck, which was a major investment in capital assets.
The Highway User Revenue Fund comprises 8.0 percent of total fund balance. The fund balance
decreased $1.0 million from the prior year because of the continuation of the pavement
management program.
The Capital Projects Fund comprises 29.7 percent of the total fund balance. All of the fund balance
is committed or assigned to capital projects. The fund balance increased $268 thousand due to
increased construction-related sales tax.
BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
A majority of the budget transfers for the fiscal year moved budget authority between departments
within the General Fund; however, the final budget for the General Fund did increase $234,500
thousand as a result of transfers from non-major funds.

BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS – continued
A schedule showing the budget amounts compared to the Town’s actual financial activity for the
General Fund is provided in this report as required supplementary information. The significant
variances are summarized as follows:
The favorable variance of $2.1 million in overall revenues is primarily due to increased
local sales taxes collected from a 0.3% tax rate increase, effective 11/1/2019, and an
increase in construction activity.
The favorable total expenditures variance of $1.7 million is due primarily to lowered
expenditures throughout all departments, in particular contractual services.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Town had invested $227.5 million in
capital assets, including buildings, facilities, vehicles, computers, equipment, infrastructure and
artwork. This amount represents a net increase, prior to depreciation, of $1.5 million from the prior
fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the purchase and replacement of vehicles and
equipment and the completion of Phase IV of the unpaved alley project and sidewalk infills. Total
depreciation expense for the current fiscal year was $5.3 million.
The following schedule presents a summary of capital asset balances for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
Governmental Activities

June 30, 2020

Total $104,404,331 $107,559,746

Additional information on the Town’s capital assets can be found in Note 5.
Debt Administration. At year-end, the Town had $400 thousand in governmental long-term debt
outstanding, with the entire balance due within one year. Long-term debt decreased by $2.4 million
during the current fiscal year.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION – continued
State statutes currently limit the amount of general obligation debt a Town may issue to a
percentage of its total assessed valuation for water, sewer, artificial lighting, parks, open space,
recreational facility improvements, public safety, law enforcement, fire and emergency facilities
and street and transportation facilities. The current 20 percent debt limitation for the Town is $113
million. State statutes also currently limit the amount of general obligation debt a Town may issue
to a percentage of its total assessed valuation for all other purposes. The current 6 percent debt
limitation for the Town is $33.9 million.
Additional information on the Town’s long-term debt can be found in Notes 6 and 7 in the notes
to the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET AND RATES
Many factors were considered by the Town’s administration during the process of developing the
fiscal year 2020-21 budget. Among them:
Revenue projections were developed using conservative growth estimates and did not
include anticipated revenues that will be received from soon-to-be completed
developments.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased uncertainty around budgeted revenues. In
response, a large contingency line item has been budgeted in case less revenues are
received.
Also considered in the development of the budget is the local economy and inflation of the
surrounding area.
Budgeted expenditures for the Town increased 3.7 percent to $33.8 million in fiscal year 2020-21.
Revenues from local sales taxes and state-shared revenue are expected to be the primary funding
sources.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona (Town) have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is
the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial
reporting principles.
The more significant of the Town’s accounting policies are described below.
A. Reporting Entity
The Town’s major operations include development services, culture and recreation, public
works, public safety and general administrative services.
The Town is a municipal corporation governed by an elected Mayor and Council. The financial
reporting entity consists of a primary government and its component units. A component unit
is a legally separate entity that must be included in the reporting entity in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The Town is a primary government that has a
separately elected governing body, is legally separate, and is fiscally independent of other state
or local governments. Furthermore, the component units combined with the Town for financial
statement presentation purposes and the Town are not included in any other governmental
reporting entity. Consequently, the Town’s financial statements include only the funds of those
organizational entities for which its elected governing body is financially accountable.
Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District and the Cottonwoods Maintenance District. As
special purpose districts and separate political subdivisions under the Arizona Constitution, the
Districts can levy taxes and issue bonds independently of the Town. Property owners in the
designated areas are assessed taxes for the costs of operating the Districts. The Town Council
serves as the Board of Directors; however, the Town has no liability for the Districts’ debt, the
Districts are responsible for the debt; the debt is therefore not subject to the Town’s debt limit.
The Districts cannot be part of another reporting entity. The Districts’ governing bodies are
substantially the same as the Town and the Town’s management oversees operations, resulting
in the Town having the ability to exercise control. As a result, for financial reporting purposes,
transactions of the Districts are combined together and included as if they were part of the
Town’s operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona Municipal Property Corporation. The Town of Fountain
Hills, Arizona Municipal Property Corporation’s (MPC) Board of Directors consists of three
members which are appointed by the Fountain Hills Town Council. The MPC, which is a
nonprofit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona, was formed for the
sole purpose of assisting the Town in obtaining financing for various projects of the Town.
The Town has a “moral obligation” for the repayment of the MPC’s bonds. The MPC cannot
be part of another reporting entity. The MPC provides services exclusively to the Town. As a
result, for financial reporting purposes, transactions of the MPC are combined together and
included as if they were part of the Town’s operations.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement
of activities) present financial information about the Town as a whole. The reported
information includes all of the Town's component units. For the most part, the effect of internal
activity has been removed from these statements. Interfund services provided and used, such
as interfund transfers, are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. Governmental
activities normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The Town does not
have any fiduciary or business-type activities.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.
Taxes, unrestricted state shared revenues, investment income and other items not included
among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements – The government-wide financial statements are
reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as
revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the grantor or provider have been
met. As a general rule, the effect of internal activity has been eliminated from the government-
wide financial statements; however, the effects of interfund services provided and used
between functions are reported as expenses and program revenues at amounts approximating
their external exchange value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund Financial Statements – Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the
current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Town considers revenues
to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences,
and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, state shared revenues, licenses and permits, charges
for services, and investment earnings associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current
fiscal period. Grants and similar awards are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the grantor or provider have been met. Miscellaneous revenue is not
susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash.
Unearned revenues arise when resources are received by the Town before it has legal claim to
them, as when grant monies are received prior to meeting all eligibility requirements imposed
by the provider.
The focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting
funds by type. Each major fund is presented in a separate column.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds.
General Fund – The General Fund is the Town’s primary operating fund. This fund
accounts for all financial resources of the Town, except those required to be accounted for
in other funds.
Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) – This fund accounts for the Town’s share of motor
vehicle fuel tax revenues and sales tax.
Grants Fund – This fund accounts for the activities of various restricted grants and
contributions received by the Town.
General Obligation Debt Service Fund – This fund accounts for the Town’s property tax
revenues received to pay the debt service of the Town’s general obligation bonds.
Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service Fund – This fund accounts for the revenues
received to pay the debt service on MPC revenue bonds.

Eagle Mountain Debt Service Fund – This fund accounts for the property tax revenues
restricted to pay the debt service of the Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District.
Capital Projects Fund – This fund accounts for the capital improvements to various projects
and equipment purchases of the Town.
D. Cash and Investments
Cash and cash equivalents at year end were cash on hand, cash in bank, restricted cash, and
cash and investments held by the State Treasurer.
Cash and investments are pooled, except for investments that are restricted under provisions
of bond indentures or other restrictions that are required to be reported in the individual funds.
Arizona Revised Statutes authorize the Town to invest public monies in the State Treasurer’s
local government investment pools, the County Treasurer’s investment pool, obligations of the
U.S. Government and its agencies, obligations of the state and certain local government
subdivisions, interest-bearing savings accounts and certificates of deposit, collateralized
repurchase agreements, certain obligations of U.S. corporations, and certain other securities.
Investments are stated at fair value.
Arizona statute requires a pooled collateral program for public deposits and a Statewide
Collateral Pool Administrator (Administrator) in the State Treasurer’s Office. The purpose of
the pooled collateral program is to ensure that governmental entities’ public deposits placed in
participating depositories are secured with collateral of 102 percent of the public deposits, less
any applicable deposit insurance. An eligible depository may not retain or accept any public
deposit unless it has deposited the required collateral with a qualified escrow agent or the
Administrator. The Administrator manages the pooled collateral program, including reporting
on each depository’s compliance with the program.
E. Investment Earnings
Investment earnings is composed of interest, dividends, and net changes in the fair value of
applicable investments. Investment earnings is a component of revenue in the governmental
funds financial statements.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
F. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding
at the end of the fiscal year is referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of
interfund loans). Interfund balances between governmental funds are eliminated on the
statement of net position.
Property taxes are levied by the Town and collected by the Maricopa County Treasurer.
Property taxes are levied no later than the third Monday in August and are payable in two
installments due October 1 of the current year and March 1 of the subsequent year. Taxes
become delinquent after the first business day of November and May, respectively. Interest
attaches on installments after the delinquency date.
All receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
G. Inventory
All inventories are valued at average cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method.
Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. Inventories are recorded as
expenses when consumed in the government-wide financial statements, and as expenditures
when consumed in the governmental funds.
H. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. In the
government-wide and fund financial statements, prepaids are recognized as
expenses/expenditures when goods and/or services are received rather than when purchased.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land and improvements, artwork, buildings and improvements,
vehicles, machinery, and equipment, construction in progress, and infrastructure assets, are
reported in the government-wide financial statements.
Capital assets are defined by the Town as assets with an initial, individual cost in excess of
$10,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Capital assets are recorded at
historical cost, if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at the
acquisition value at the date of donation.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or
materially extend the life of the asset are not capitalized.
Capital assets of the Town are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Buildings and building improvements 20 - 50 years
Improvements other than buildings 20 years
Infrastructure 15 - 50 years
Vehicles, machinery and equipment 5 - 20 years
J. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position may report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows
of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so
will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Town
did not have any items that qualified for reporting in this category.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position may report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of
resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will
not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
K. Compensated Absences
The Town’s employee vacation and sick leave policies generally provide for granting vacation
and sick leave with pay. Sick leave and vacation benefits accrue as pay periods are completed
at the current rate of pay.
All eligible full-time and part-time regularly-scheduled employees can accrue vacation leave.
Employees accrue up to a maximum of two times the yearly maximum accrual of vacation
through carryover of balances. In the event of termination, employees will be paid for any
accrued, but unused, vacation hours. Full-time and part-time regularly-scheduled employees
accrue sick leave, up to a maximum of 1040 hours. Part-time non-regularly-scheduled,
temporary, or seasonal, and other employees accrue paid sick time for hours worked, not to
exceed 40 hours per calendar year.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The current and long-term liabilities, including related benefits, for accumulated vacation and
sick leave are reported on the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these
amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result
of employee termination, resignations and retirements. Generally, resources from the General
Fund are used to pay for compensated absences.
L. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations
are reported as liabilities on the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Deferred amounts on
refunding result from the difference between the carrying value of refunded debt and its
reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the
refunded or refunding debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received,
are reported as debt service expenditures.
M. Interfund Activity
Flows of cash from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as
interfund transfers. Interfund transfers between governmental funds are eliminated in the
statement of activities. Interfund transfers in the fund financial statements are reported as other
financing sources/uses in governmental funds.
N. Net Position Flow Assumption
In the government-wide financial statements the Town applies restricted resources first when
outlays are incurred for purposes for which either restricted or unrestricted amounts are
available.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
O. Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 – FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS
Fund balances of the governmental funds are reported separately within classifications based
on a hierarchy of the constraints placed on the use of those resources. The classifications are
based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how the specific amounts can be
spent. The classifications are nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned
fund balance classifications.
Nonspendable. The nonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot
be spent because they are not in spendable form, or legally or contractually required to be
maintained intact.
Restricted. Fund balance is reported as restricted when constraints placed on the use of
resources are either externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors,
contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or is imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed. The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only
for the specific purposes imposed by formal action of the Town Council, the Town’s highest
level of decision making authority, by ordinance. Those committed amounts cannot be used
for any other purpose unless the Town Council removes or changes the specified use by taking
the same type of action it employed to previously commit those amounts.
Assigned. Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the
Town for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or
committed. In governmental funds other than the General Fund, assigned fund balance
represents the remaining amount that is not restricted or committed. In the General Fund,
assigned amounts represent intended uses established by the Town Council or a management
official delegated that authority by formal Town Council action. The authority to make
assignments has been delegated by the Town Council to the Finance Director.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 2 – FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS
Unassigned. Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund and
includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. In other governmental
funds, the unassigned classification is used only to report a deficit balance resulting from
overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed, or
assigned.
The Town applies restricted resources first when outlays are incurred for purposes for which
either restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, and unassigned) amounts are available.
Similarly, within unrestricted fund balance, committed amounts are reduced first followed by
assigned, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which
amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.
The Town has established a fund balance policy which states that the combined General Fund
operating fund balance should be at least 30 percent of the average actual General Fund
revenues for the preceding five fiscal years.
The Town has established a stabilization fund (Rainy Day fund) in the Town’s fund balance
policy. The Rainy Day fund had a balance of $3,086,699, reported as a committed fund balance
at June 30, 2020. The Rainy Day fund may only be used for the following: 1) to replace the
loss of more than 25 percent of the Town’s local share of state shared revenues, 2) for any
event that threatens the health, safety or welfare of the Town’s citizens, 3) for any event that
threatens the fiscal stability of the Town, and lastly 4) to address any matter declared as an
emergency by the governor of the State of Arizona or the Mayor of the Town. All withdrawals
from the Rainy Day fund shall be subject to the following rules: 1) any appropriation shall
require the approval by at least 2/3 vote by the Town Council, and 2) the maximum amount of
Rainy Day withdrawal in any fiscal year shall not exceed one-half of the total balance in the
fund. Replenishment of the Rainy Day fund when spent by the Town should not exceed a
period of more than five years, and should be repaid in annual installments of not less than one
percent of the previous fiscal year General Fund balance. Repayments shall be appropriated as
part of the annual budget adoption.

NOTE 3 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Arizona Revised Statutes authorize the Town to invest public monies in the State Treasurer’s
local government investment pools, the County Treasurer’s investment pool, obligations of the
U.S. Government and its agencies, obligations of the state and certain local government
subdivisions, interest-bearing savings accounts and certificates of deposit, collateralized
repurchase agreements, certain obligations of U.S. corporations, and certain other securities.
The statutes do not include any requirements for credit risk, custodial credit risk, concentration
of credit risk, interest rate risk, or foreign currency risk for the Town’s investments.
Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of bank
failure the Town’s deposits may not be returned to the Town. The Town does not have a
deposit policy for custodial credit risk. At year end, the carrying amount of the Town’s deposits
was $925,635 and the bank balance was $1,042,404. At year end, $542,404 of the Town’s
deposits were covered by collateral held by the pledging financial institution in the Town’s
name. The remaining amount is covered by FDIC.
Fair Value Measurements. The Town categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair
value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is
based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs
Valuation Techniques. Equity securities classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are
valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Debt securities classified in
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using matrix pricing techniques. Matrix pricing
is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
The State Treasurer’s pools are external investment pools, the Local Government Investment
Pool (Pool 5) and Local Government Investment Pool-Government (Pool 7), with no
regulatory oversight. The pools, as an investment company, are not registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The activity and performance of the pools are reviewed
monthly by the State Board of Investment. The fair value of each participant’s position in the
State Treasurer investment pools approximates the value of the participant’s shares in the pool
and the participants’ shares are not identified with specific investments. Participants in the pool
are not required to categorize the value of shares in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

Total $ 21,203,422
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates may reduce the
market value of Town investments. In accordance with its investment policy, the Town
manages its exposure to declines in fair values by the following:
Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with the
anticipated cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding, as much as
possible, the need to sell securities into an adverse market environment prior to
maturity.
Investing funds primarily in shorter-term securities or similar investment pools and
limiting the average maturity of the portfolio in accordance with the needs of the Town.
With respect to any firm or individual given responsibility for investments utilizing
external research and advice regarding the current interest rate outlook and global
economic condition to optimize portfolio duration strategy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 3 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of default of debt by an issuer or counterparty to an
investment. The Town will limit credit risk by limiting investments in the Town’s portfolio to
the asset classes designated as acceptable in ARS §35-323. When possible, analysis of the
credit worthiness of all individual debt issuers held in the portfolio should be conducted on an
annual basis in an effort to guard against investing in a weak or deteriorating credit situation.
Additionally, the Town will pre-qualify financial institutions, brokers/dealers, and investment
advisers with which the Town will do business.
Custodial Credit Risk – Investments. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of
depository financial institution failure, the Town’s deposits may not be returned to the Town.
The Town’s investment in the State Treasurer’s investment pool represents a proportionate
interest in the pool’s portfolio; however the Town’s portion is not identified with specific
investments and is not subject to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss from over
concentration of investments. In accordance with its investment policy, the Town diversifies
its investment portfolio to minimize the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets
in a specific maturity, specific issuer, or specific class of securities. With the exception of U.S.
Treasury notes and securities and authorized pools, the investment policy establishes a
maximum percentage of 30 percent in insured or collateralized certificates of deposit; 20
percent in certificates of deposit registry services; 30 percent in commercial paper; and 30
percent in bonds, debentures, or notes.

costs; and $200,000 to Environmental Fund for funding operations of that fund. The Highway

NOTE 9– DEFICIT IN FUND BALANCE
The Grants Fund had a deficit fund balance of $66,361. The deficit will be covered by future
revenue reimbursements.
NOTE 10– CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Compliance – Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and
adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the state government. Any disallowed claims,
including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The
amount, if any, of expenditures/expenses that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be
determined at this time, although the Town expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
Lawsuits – The Town is a party to a number of various types of lawsuits, many of which
normally occur in governmental operations. The ultimate outcome of the actions is not
determinable; however, Town management believes that the outcome of these proceedings,
either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 11 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The Town is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The Town’s insurance protection is
provided by the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool (Pool). The Pool is made up of various
towns and cities within Arizona that operate a common risk management and insurance
program. The Pool is structured such that member premiums are based on an actuarial review
that will provide adequate reserves to allow the Pool to meet its expected financial obligations.
The Pool has the authority to assess its’ members additional premiums should reserves and
annual premiums be insufficient to meet the Pool’s obligations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 11 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The Town joined the Arizona Municipal Workers’ Compensation Pool (Pool) together with
other governments in the state for risks of loss related to workers’ compensation claims. The
Pool is a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and
insurance program for towns and cities in the State. The Town is responsible for paying a
premium, based on an experience rating formula that allocates pool expenditures and liabilities
among members.
The Town continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including
employee health, dental, and vision insurance. There were no settlements that exceeded
insurance coverage in any of the past three years.
NOTE 12 – RETIREMENT PLANS
Defined Contribution Pension Plan
All full-time employees of the Town participate in a defined contribution pension plan
administered by the ICMA Retirement Corporation as a 401(a) plan. The contribution rates are
11 percent for both the employee and the Town. The payroll for the Town employees covered
by this plan for the year ended June 30, 2020, was $3,502,664. The Town’s total payroll was
$4,152,592.
A defined contribution pension plan provides benefits in return for services rendered, provides
an individual account for each participant, and specifies how contributions to the individual’s
account are to be determined, instead of specifying the amount of benefit the individual is to
receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive
depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant’s account and the returns earned on
investment of those contributions. All full-time Town employees must participate in the
pension plan from the date they are hired. Contributions made by an employee vest
immediately and contributions made by the Town vest on a pro rata basis for five years. Town
Council has the authority to establish and amend benefit terms and to establish and amend the
contribution rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 12 – RETIREMENT PLANS
An employee that leaves the employment of the Town is entitled to his or her contributions
and the vested portion of the Town’s contributions, plus interest earned. During the fiscal year,
the Town’s required and actual contributions amounted to $385,293. The employees’
contributions totaled $385,293. Employees may also contribute to the ICMA Retirement
Corporation 457 plan on a voluntary basis (with the exception of one contract employee that
is limited to 11 percent of earnings); there is no employer match for those contributions. During
the fiscal year, employees contributed $121,766 to that plan. The Town contributed $8,591 for
the contract employee’s 457 account.
No pension provision changes occurred during the year that affected the required contributions
to be made by the Town or its employees. The ICMA Retirement Corporation held no securities
of the Town or other related parties during the fiscal year 2019-20 or as of the close of the
fiscal year.
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Town applied for AZ Cares funding from the Governor's Office and was subsequently
awarded $2,893,126 on July 1st, 2020. The funding was made available through the U.S.
Department of the Treasury's Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act,
and the funds will be used to pay public safety contract expenditures.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA
NOTE TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1 – BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Town Council follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
financial statements:
1. In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes, the Town Manager submits a proposed
budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1 to the Town Council. The
operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them for the
upcoming year.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comment.
3. Prior to the third Monday in August, the budget for the Town is legally enacted through
passage of a resolution. To ensure compliance with the expenditure limitation, a uniform
expenditure report must be filed with the State each year. This report, issued under a
separate cover, reconciles total Town expenditures from the audited basic financial
statements to total expenditures for reporting in accordance with the State’s uniform
expenditure reporting system (A.R.S 41-1279.07).
4. Expenditures may not legally exceed the expenditure limitation described below for all
fund types as a whole. For management purposes, the Town adopts a budget by department
for the General Fund and in total by fund for other funds. The Town Manager, subject to
Town Council approval, may at any time transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance
or portion thereof between a department or activity. The adopted budget cannot be
amended in any way without Town Council approval.
5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year
for the General, Highway User Revenue, Excise Tax, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and
Capital Projects Funds on essentially the same modified accrual basis of accounting used
to record actual revenues and expenditures.
The Town is subject to the State of Arizona’s Spending Limitation Law for Towns and Cities.
This law does not permit the Town to spend more than budgeted revenues plus the carryover
unrestricted cash balance from the prior fiscal year. The limitation is applied to the total of the
combined funds. The Town complied with this law during the year.

Note: For locally assessed property (i.e., excluding mines, utilities, etc.) Proposition 117, approved
by voters in 2012, amended the Arizona Constitution to require that all property taxes after fiscal
year 2014-15 be based upon property values limited to five percent in annual growth. The
aggregate assessed value of all taxable properties within a taxing jurisdiction (i.e., after applying
assessment ratios based on the use of a property), including property values with a growth limit,
is currently referred to as net limited assessed value and formerly as primary assessed value. In
accordance with Proposition 117, this value is used for all taxing purposes beginning with fiscal
year 2015-16. Aggregate assessed value without a growth limit is currently referred to as net full
cash assessed value and formerly as secondary assessed value. This value remains the value
utilized for determining debt capacity limits.

Assessment Roll, the Arizona Department of Revenue Report of Indebtedness and the applicable
governmental unit.
* All bond amounts include amortization of original issuance discounts and premiums.
** The Town is not obligated for repayment of the Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District general
obligation bonds.
Note: The estimated percentage of debt outstanding applicable to the Town is calculated based on the Town's
net limited assessed valuation as a percentage of the net limited assessed valuation of the overlapping
jurisdiction.
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the Town
of Fountain Hills. This schedule further estimates the portion of outstanding debt of those overlapping
governments that is borne by residents and businesses of the Town. This process recognizes that, when
considering a town's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by residents
should be taken into account. However, this fact does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and,
therefore, responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
The Auditor General of the State of Arizona
The Honorable Mayor and Town Council
of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona
We have examined the accompanying Annual Expenditure Limitation Report of the Town of
Fountain Hills, Arizona for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the report. The
Town’s management is responsible for presenting this report in accordance with the uniform
expenditure reporting system as described in Note 1. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on this report based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether this report is presented in
accordance with the uniform expenditure reporting system, in all material respects. An
examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the report. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment,
including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the report, whether due to fraud
or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the Annual Expenditure Limitation Report referred to above is presented, in all
material respects, in accordance with the uniform expenditure reporting system as described in
Note 1.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Town Council
Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona
We have examined the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s (Town) compliance as to whether
highway user revenue fund monies received by the Town pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes
Title 28, Chapter 18, Article 2, and any other dedicated state transportation revenues received by
the Town, were used solely for authorized transportation purposes during the year ended
June 30, 2020. Management is responsible for the Town’s compliance with those requirements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Town’s compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about the Town’s compliance with the
requirements referred to above, in all material respects. An examination involves performing
procedures to obtain evidence about the Town’s compliance with the requirements referred to
above. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgement,
including an assessment of the risks of material noncompliance of the report, whether due to fraud
or error. We believe the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Town’s
compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona complied, in all material respects, with the
aforementioned requirements for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of
Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
Independent Auditor’s Report
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City/Town Council
Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the
governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Town
of Fountain Hills, Arizona, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s basic
financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 3, 2020.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Town of Fountain
Hills, Arizona’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our
opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough
to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did
not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Page 1
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona’s
financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with
which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an
opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of
noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

4.REPORTS BY MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS AND TOWN MANAGER
Town Manager Grady Miller reported that some modifications had been made to the
roundabout which has caused a slight delay. He said that today he learned that they are
looking at the 19th for grading and paving placed within three days of that date. There is a
project meeting tomorrow that the Public Works Director will be attending, and he has asked
him to try to tighten up that schedule.
Mr. Miller also reported on the road leading to Eagle Ridge. He said that according to the
development agreement with Toll Brothers, it was to be built by December 2020. They now
believe that it may be done in time for Thanksgiving.
Councilmember Spelich said that he has been a proponent of collecting fees owed to the
town, one of which was the environmental fee. He has learned that one of the staff members,
Rhonda Brenneman, was given a list of people that had not paid and the biggest one was for
$12,000 owed since the inception of the fee. She worked on it and was able to get the person
to pay the $12,000 owed. He complimented her on a great job.
Councilmember Friedel reported that he had attended a few sessions on Economic
Development through AAED, which were geared toward new council members. They talked
about the alignment efforts among town, county, and state. He said that it was well attended
and well received.
He also mentioned that he got a call from residents that lost a set of car keys and they were
turned into MCSO, which took them five to six hours to locate. He wanted to remind residents
that there is a lost and found at the Community Center and if they find something it can be
turned in there.
Mayor Dickey gave the following report:
The Census Bureau announced it will continue counting individuals through October 31.
Go to 2020census.gov/ or call 844-330-2020.
The deadline to register to vote in AZ has been extended to 10/23/20.
East Valley Partnership meeting was a panel discussion about the election.
We attended beautiful remembrances last week for our friends Councilmen Ed Kehe
and Mike Archambault. Again, our hearts go out to their families. We are a better
community for their service.
In that spirit, the Fountain at 50 Committee is gathering items for a time capsule… a
glimpse of our community to future generations. What will it be? We get to tell the story
of an unlikely start… locating a record-breaking tall fountain in the middle of the desert
becoming a hometown with memories shared by family and friends spanning half a
century. We have been experiencing rough times, and are understandably anxious and
uncertain, disappointed even isolated. Please let’s not forget that we are neighbors and
volunteers with many common goals, completing our Vision/FH survey and getting
ready to vote on our publicly-created General Plan that we will discuss tonight. So even
as we choose contents to display our past and present, we are shaping the future
together. You are all a part of this.
MAG Regional Council focused on the Prop 400 extension and will talk more about how
we fit in locally when we hear the presentation in a little while from RPTA. The MAG
Regional Domestic Violence Council has coordinated a response to domestic violence
through the criminal justice system since 1999, saving lives, time, and resources. Our
Town Hall is lit up in purple and I will read the proclamation next.
A.PROCLAMATION - October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Mayor Dickey read a proclamation proclaiming October as Domestic Violence Awareness
Month.
B.PROCLAMATION - October as Fire Prevention Month.

5.SCHEDULED PUBLIC APPEARANCES/PRESENTATIONS
A.PRESENTATION of National Weather Service Storm Ready Designation for Fountain Hills.
Fire Chief Dave Ott explained that Mike Winters, Deputy Fire Chief, oversaw the application
process for becoming a Storm Ready community, which shows that the Town is prepared with
an Emergency Operation Center to notify the general public and their employees. He said that
early notification is paramount. Flooding is a big problem in the state of Arizona, with 90% of
all presidentially-declared emergencies. He said that 500 people per year perish and they
have $14 billion worth of damage. He said that they have an Emergency Operation Plan so
they are prepared for a severe weather plan. At this time, Marvin Percha with the National
Weather Service gave a brief PowerPoint presentation (telephonically):

WHY DO WE NEED STORM READY?
WHAT IS STORM READY?
STORM READY INCENTIVES
PARTNERSHIPS
HOW DOES A COMMUNITY BECOME STORM READY
He said that Fountain Hills is the 35th Storm Ready community in Arizona.
Vice Mayor Scharnow asked if the main way the citizens will be notified will be through cell
phones. Mr. Winters said that they use a variety of alerts, through Code Red, local media (TV
and radio), and they do have a partnership with the Maricopa County Flood Control District.
Mr. Miller said that he was very pleased with the Deputy Chief bringing this to the community.
He said that they have been hit seriously in the last two years.
B.PRESENTATION on Epcor Operations and Proposed Rate Case before the Arizona
Corporation Commission by Epcor Representatives.
Mr. Miller said that they had two representatives from Epcor with them tonight: Chad Guzman,
Government Relations Manager, and Frank Metzler, Operations Director - Eastern Division.
Mr. Guzman said that Epcor has a special relationship with the Town of Fountain Hills. They
have operated the system here for many years and have enjoyed a strong partnership with
the Town. He said that they have worked well with the Town Council and staff, and many of
their employees live in Fountain Hills. He then began a PowerPoint presentation which
addressed:

POTENTIAL UNIFICATION SCENARIOS
He said that Epcor has no position on any of the scenarios; these were ordered by the
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 6, 2020
3 of 9
He said that Epcor has no position on any of the scenarios; these were ordered by the
Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) to be considered. He said that they are wanting to
include that in the application and have a thorough policy conversation. He said that they
believe that unification as a concept, in general, can provide benefits to their customers by
streamlining operations, working with districts; however, they do not want to take a position in
any of the scenarios.
Mayor Dickey asked why they were bringing this before them if they were not proposing the
full consolidation. Mr. Guzman said that they included it to serve as a baseline case to
compare with the other regional options.
Mayor Dickey asked what the operational downside to Fountain Hills would be if they
consolidated. Mr. Metzler said that Epcor prides itself in excellence, and they would not
compromise on its commitment to maintain that level of excellence.
Mayor Dickey asked if meter size mattered. Mr. Metzler said that it does; they have this chart
for different meter sizes, based on the most common size for each district.

March 22, 2021 Public Hearing
Late summer 2021 decision (estimate)
Mr. Metzler said that he was the Director of Operations for everything east of I-17 and
everything on the Colorado River. They have 15 employees working in Fountain Hills. They
have 14,000 connections and serve 24,000 customers.
He said that the water comes from the Central Arizona Project and they have two good
producing wells in the community. The surface water is treated at Palatial Estates plant, with
the ability to treat 20 mgd. The average high demand month is at 7.2 mgd. He said that their
annual electric bill is $1 million and their annual water bill is $1.6 million a year.
Mr. Metzler said that he looked at data for the past four years, and they spent between $4.2 to
$5 million a year. They have 9 reservoirs, water main replacements and water main breaks.
Every year they try to replace 1/2 of all water meters. This year they spent $300,000 on those
efforts. He said that he is proud of the relationship they have with Mr. Weldy and Mr. Miller.
Mr. Metzler then reviewed recent projects in Fountain Hills:
Sunridge Drive
Shea Treatment Plant
Adero Canyon Trailhead Extension
Palatial Estates Reservoir Wall Painted
Surface Water Storage Reservoir at the north end of Fountain Hills off of Blackbird
Palisades line
He said that they like to be able to look at their telemetry and instrumentation. It calls them in
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 6, 2020

the middle of the night for a drop in pressure. They have six smart fire hydrants and they are
continually monitoring the system. He said that when they have a main break, it does not just
impact the system, but also the customers. They want to find those as quickly as possible,
isolate them and then repair and repave the road as quickly as possible.
Vice Mayor Scharnow said that some of the pipes in the Grande/El Pueblo area are from the
1970's. Mr. Metzler said that if they look at the work done in the 60's and 70's versus that
done in the 1990's and 2000's, there is not a direct relationship with age; a lot of it gets to the
craftsmanship. The major area of concern is the line on Palisades.
Councilmember Spelich said that back in January he knew someone that inadvertently
backed into a fire hydrant and the water was gushing for well over half an hour. He asked why
the Fire Department did not have the ability to turn that off. Mr. Metzler said that every
community in Arizona is its own animal. Typically, the agreements are reached and
negotiated with the leadership. He said that he is more than willing to have that conversation
with the Fire Chief.
Councilmember Spelich said that last month he was contacted by two customers who usually
have water bills in the $60-80 range, and each were around $300. He asked who they should
reach out to if that happens. Mr. Metzler said that they should call the 1/800 customer service
number and they can talk them through it. Nine times out of ten it is related to a leaking
irrigation system. If the customers demonstrate they have located and corrected the problem,
he will consider crediting the bill. Mr. Guzman said that he is always available as well to talk
with a customer.
Councilmember Spelich asked if the majority of meters were read virtually. Mr. Metzler said
that they are very close to having replaced all of the meters with smart meters, which allows
them to drive through a neighborhood. Councilmember Spelich asked if there is ever a time
where they would estimate a bill. Mr. Metzler said that they do not estimate reads; it is not
acceptable.
Mayor Dickey and Councilmember Magazine thanked them for the presentation.
C.PRESENTATION of General Plan Video.
Mr. Miller said that Bo Larsen worked diligently with John Wesley to get the word out on the
General Plan. He said that it was not to tell people to vote yes, but was purely educational.
Mr. Larsen then showed the video to the Council and audience. Council asked Mr. Larsen to
forward it to the entire Council.
D.PRESENTATION of Valley Metro transit analysis.
Mr. Miller explained that a few years ago the Town became a member of Valley Metro, which
entitles the Town to send a representative to sit on their Board of Directors. Vice Mayor
Scharnow has been sitting in that capacity. Part of the Town's membership entitles it to have
a comprehensive transit study done at no cost. He said that they got started early last year,
but then COVID hit, which delayed the project.
Mr. Trimble said that he was happy to help coordinate the annual paperwork for their
membership, and tonight they have Joe Gregory, Manager for Service Planning, and Hannah
Quincy, Senior Transit Planner, on the telephone. Ms. Quincy then gave a PowerPoint
presentation which addressed:
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 6, 2020

Mr. Miller said that he was talking earlier that perhaps they should spend down the money
currently in the reserves and develop a plan to be discussed during the February Retreat,
which is also about the time that Valley Metro requires them to have a plan. Vice Mayor
Scharnow said that he was okay with that; however, the Retreat does get to be a long day and
topics stack up. He suggested that they schedule a separate work study.
Vice Mayor Scharnow said that it is a given that the 514 is probably not going to survive. He
believes that with $225,000 in the bank, the cross-town extension to Gilbert/McDowell Roads
is a good pilot program for two years; then the money will run out. He said that he was glad to
see the numbers come up on RideChoice and he would like to look at options with the
Give-a-Lift program, possibly providing administrative help. He said that regionally, he has
loved the Valley Metro meetings and he was glad that the Town has been a part of that. He
said that he would like to see an increase in the Van Pool Expansion.
Mr. Miller said that Hanna had mentioned a Federal Program workshop held for
vehicles/operating costs, but it is only held every other year. Mr. Trimble added that MAG put
it on. He said that it was a long day with a ton of strings attached. He was not sure that the
Town could administer it; it was focused more on nonprofits, but perhaps the Town could
partner with a nonprofit.
Councilmember Friedel said that he was intrigued with the RideChoice services, and
expanding it and getting to the low-income users. He asked if there was enough of a demand
for it. Mr. Miller said that there is some survey that was done, and they could probably obtain
that from the Department of Economic Services.
Mr. Trimble said that one of the biggest advantages with RideChoice is that they came out
with a pilot program that decreased the cost to riders. Under the previous program to go to the
hospital at 90th Street and Shea, it was a $30 charge; now it is $4 each way.
Hannah said that they could look at one of the peers in the region, such as Surprise, as they
have expanded.
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 6, 2020
6 of 9
Mayor Dickey said that she has been having the same thoughts, talking about transportation.
With the Prop 400 extension the Town has proposed 13-14 projects. She said that if they are
looking to have 35,000 people in town, she believed that A.ternate 1 to Mesa made the most
sense. She said that it would still be separate from the RideChoice program. If they dropped
514, they would get $65,000, giving them a total around $100,000 and that would get them
back into what they are going to get out of Prop 400. She was happy to have this information
and happy to move forward.
Mr. Miller said that he did not hear any debate over the Gilbert Road Connection, to also grow
the RideChoice program and expand to low/moderate in the interim. He said that he would
like to work with the Mayor and Vice Mayor to influence them providing a regionalized
service.
Joe Gregory with Valley Metro said that in order to do this they are working six months ahead
of time. They are now talking about April of 2021 changes and will be going out to those next
month. Mr. Trimble said that they are too late to make a change in April, but to propose

Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 2560.
Patriot Chuck Byers, Department of Arizona State Commander, Military Order of the Purple
Heart, presented the Purple Heart Flag to Mayor Dickey and the Fountain Hills Town
Council. He said that he was pleased and proud to have the recognition for the Town.
Public Works Director Justin Weldy thanked all veterans and said that they would be hoisting
the flag at sunrise in front of Town Hall tomorrow morning.
B.PRESENTATION OF update by representatives of the Fountain at 50 Committee.
Sandy Racini, Chairman of the Fountain at 50 Committee, reviewed what has been taking
place since the proclamation was read last December. She said that they kicked it off last
year with the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and then golden "50's" appeared in Fountain Park.
They celebrated the 30th Anniversary of Incorporation with cake for 600 people. The
Sculpture of Light was approved, and in January they became part of the Museum's history,
a social media campaign started, and the Times began a monthly history section. The
Museum was collecting oral stories and the Library started a children's program.
She said that in February they were well-prepped to receive a number of letters from
municipalities from around the Valley through the Pony Express. Then, in March event after
event was canceled due to COVID-19. They continued planning and had the banners on
the Avenue installed and began a photo contest. Chocofin created a Fountain at 50
chocolate bar and had a contest for 50 pounds of chocolate. The committee also began
gathering items for a time capsule which will be opened in 25 years. They are planning to
have golden holiday decorations and the Recreation Department began a virtual trivia night
with an emphasis on the fountain. She said that they were hoping that these different things
would keep people involved.
She said that they had originally planned to be part of the Stroll in the Glow Balloon Glow and
lighting of the Sculpture, but they have decided against that, although the Chamber is still
moving forward with the Stroll. They had also planned a gala anniversary dinner for
December 6, but that has been postponed as well. She said that they have moved their
events to January 30, 2021, hoping that conditions will have improved by then. During the
December 15, 2020, Council Meeting, a new proclamation will be read and they will unveil
the new lighting system at the Fountain.
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 20, 2020 2 of 10
Mayor Dickey said that this year is not what so many people had hoped for, but she wanted
to recognize her and the committee for keeping their good humor and flexibility. She thanked
the committee and community groups that volunteered to do things, and she thanked Ms.
Racini for her leadership.
Councilmember Tolis thanked the committee as well. He said that he would encourage the
committee to come up with an alternate plan to have a full year of celebrations, starting with
a day that masks are not required.
C.PRESENTATION OF monthly update by MCSO Captain Kratzer.
MCSO Captain Kratzer reported that they are still seeing a high number of identity theft and
fraudulent claims through the Department of Economic Security. He said that if residents find
that they are shown as receiving benefits, they should call the Police and DES. Because of
the number of fraudulent claims, it is keeping others from getting benefits that they are in
need of.
He said that computer fraud is still a problem as well. Last month they had an individual in
Town defrauded out of $5,000. He said that there is another scam where they ask the
individuals to purchase gift cards at local stores. He said that they are fully implemented to
go out to contact the local stores to provide training and education so employees could
identify these cases, but they are somewhat limited in what they can do.
Coming up, they will be part of the Make a Difference Day, the Fountain Hills Goofy Blast
Halloween, and will be meeting in person with the Fountain Hills Coalition. He also reminded
everyone that there is a drop box at the MCSO Office for unwanted drugs.
Councilmember Spelich asked what MCSO's plans are for election day and the day after
with police departments across the country planning for social unrest. Captain Kratzer said
that it is still being determined. They are constantly monitoring threats. They are working on
it, but they have not seen a formal plan. They are not allowing any time off between
November 1 and 10, and it may be extended if needed.
Mayor Dickey thanked the MCSO office, noting that all of the above, as well as their normal
duties of dealing with party houses, helping residents' quality of life, masks, distancing,
stolen signs, etc. it keeps them going. She said that he is always calm and professional.
D.PRESENTATION OF First Quarter FY21 Revenue Update
Finance Director David Pock gave a First Quarter FY21 Revenue Update, which addressed:
FIRST QUARTER REVENUE UPDATE
Revenues collection for the first quarter is encouraging and exceeded budgeted
expectations by $825,000
Most TPT categories are outperforming last year
State Shared Revenues are down slightly but still within an acceptable range
Staff remains optimistic that collections will continue to strengthen as economic uncertainty
related to COVID-19 and the election decrease
NET TAXABLE ACTIVITY
TOTAL TPT COLLECTIONS
RETAIL SALES
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 20, 2020 3 of 10
Councilmember Tolis said that a big issue in the past was with online sales. He asked at
what point taxes on those sales began coming in. Mr. Pock said that he would have to find
out. Mr. Miller said that with the Wayfair Decision, they saw changes starting in 2019. Mr.
Pock said that is one of the reasons they faired so well. Mr. Miller said that another factor
was with the mandated taxes on short-term rentals.
Councilmember Magazine asked how much they are losing to individuals renting out places
that are not part of a program. Mr. Pock said that he would not be able to quantify that.
Councilmember Magazine asked if the Town works with realtors. Mr. Miller said that they
went out to them, and also used the newsletter to get the word out. Neighbors are reporting
as well.
Mr. Pock said that the Town has an auditor on contract who has working relationships with
the Department of Revenue. He will work with him on strategies.
Councilmember Tolis said that another policy that Council supported was auto sales and that
number is included in this amount as well. Mr. Pock said that was correct.
Councilmember Spelich said that they should get with MCSO about the party houses and
make sure those are on the list for sales tax. Mr. Pock said that one of the party houses is
compliant.

Mr. Miller said that staff put a hold on CIP projects, other than the four directed by Council.
Council wanted to wait until this first quarter report to determine whether they could move
forward with some of the other projects.
He said that they had a lot more wants than needs. The cost of living recommended was
postponed to January 1, 2021, and went from 3% to 2.5% to wait and see how revenues
were looking. He said that all of the capital projects are fully budgeted this year. At adoption
of the budget, he had recommended that they go forward with the top five. Staff will come
back next month with decision points and outline what the projects are.
Councilmember Magazine said that he did not want to be foolish about it. Vice Mayor
Scharnow said that he appreciated the summary and looks forward to hearing more about
capital projects at the November 17, 2020, meeting.

Commercial Zoning Districts, Sections 12.02 B, 12.02 C, and 12.02 D, by adjusting provisions
to allow indoor vehicle sales in the C-C, C-2, and C-3 Districts.
Case #Z2020-08
Mayor Dickey opened the Public Hearing. Senior Planner Farhad Tavassoli gave a brief
PowerPoint presentation, noting that the proposed text amendment would allow indoor
vehicle sales in the C-C, C-2 and C-3 zoning districts.
Councilmember Magazine said that he did not see anything about overnight parking. Mr.
Tavassoli said that this ordinance did not address overnight parking. It is currently allowed in
the C-3 as a matter of right and in the C-2 with a Special Use Permit.
Mayor Dickey closed the Public Hearing.
MOVED BY Councilmember Art Tolis, SECONDED BY Vice Mayor Mike Scharnow to adopt
Ordinance 20-21.
Vote: 6 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
C.PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF Ordinance 20-22 amending Zoning
Ordinance Section 6.07 G. 2. by changing the calculation used for the size of signs consisting
of individual letters and/or logos and Section 6.08 W. 1. regarding the allowable sign area for
wall signs. (Case #2020-09)
Mayor Dickey opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Wesley said that Chapter 6 of the Zoning Ordinance provides for the regulations of signs.
Town staff, with the assistance of the Town Attorney and input from a citizen group, is
preparing a comprehensive update to the sign regulations. A draft of the sign ordinance has
been reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission; the proposed amendments
included in this text amendment are part of what the Commission has recommended for
approval.
In reviewing the current code against those of other cities and towns, and in discussions with
the citizen group, it was noted that two current provisions in the Town's sign ordinance are
more restrictive than other communities. It has been proposed that these two provisions be
changed to allow more flexibility and creativity in sign design.
Section 6.07 of the Sign Regulations provides general regulations regarding signs.
Subsection 6.07 G. addresses sign area and how to measure sign area for different types of
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 20, 2020 6 of 10
signs. Paragraph 2 addresses signs which are made up of individual letters and logos. The
measurement standard in the ordinance is to draw a rectangle around the elements that
make up the sign to calculate the area of the sign. This method of measuring sign areas
limits the creativity of the sign design. To get the largest sign, the owner will usually choose
a simple rectangular sign.
To allow for and encourage more creative sign design, the proposal is to allow the area for
these types of signs to be measured using up to two geometric shapes at least one point in
common. This can then allow for different shapes and letters that go outside the standard
rectangle without wasting a lot of sign area on unused space.
Section 6.08 of the Sign Regulations provides the requirements for individual sign types.
Subsection 6.08 W. address wall signs. Paragraph 1 in this section states wall signs are
limited to a maximum of 1 square-foot of sign area per foot of frontage. In comparison to
other communities, this sign allowance is low. The recommendation is to increase the
allowance to 1.5 square-feet of sign area per foot of frontage. The maximum sign allowed
will still be limited by the aggregate sign area allowance in Section 6.08 A.
Brief discussion was held on potential colors of signs. Mr. Arnson said that the Council could
adopt reasonable design standards. Mr. Wesley said that one of the immediate concerns is if
that would limit such things as corporate colors.
Mayor Dickey closed the Public Hearing at this time.
MOVED BY Vice Mayor Mike Scharnow, SECONDED BY Councilmember Art Tolis to adopt
Ordinance 20-22.
Vote: 6 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
D.CONSIDERATION OF Ordinance 20-25 amending the Fountain Hills Town Code by adopting
a new Article II (Recreational Marijuana), in Chapter 11 (Offenses); establishing a purpose;
setting forth definitions; prohibiting marijuana on public property; prohibiting marijuana
establishments and marijuana testing facilities; enacting reasonable regulations for marijuana
cultivation on residential property; setting forth violations; providing for enforcement and
penalties; and setting a conditional effective date.
Mr. Arnson said that in a few weeks the Arizona voters will decide on whether to allow
recreational marijuana. Among other things, the Act allows municipalities to prohibit or
regulate recreational marijuana establishments and testing facilities from operating within
their jurisdictions.
This proposed ordinance will not become effective unless and until the Act is approved and
becomes effective. As proposed, the ordinance will prohibit recreational marijuana
establishments and testing facilities from operating within Fountain Hills. In accordance with
the Act, this prohibition would not apply to a current dual licensee that operates within
Fountain Hills. The ordinance would also prohibit, among other things, the use or possession
of marijuana on Town property. Finally, the proposed ordinance would place reasonable
limits on the growth of marijuana plants in private residences. Staff recommends adoption of
the ordinance.
Doug Hebert, retired agent for DEA, said that his experience is that drug use and its misuse
is related to its access and availability. He does not want to see this law pass.
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 20, 2020 7 of 10
Shelly Maurey, Fountain Hills Coalition, said that studies show that youth living near
marijuana dispensaries are more likely to use than those that do not. She said that she has
19 pages of law written by cannabis executives. She said that the proposed law is bad for
the work force and drivers. She commended the Town for their vision in preempting this law
and allowing the Town to regulate.
Councilmember Magazine asked if she had seen the ordinance, and whether she thought it
was going to make any different. Ms. Maurey said that the Town would be sending a signal
that they want to protect the kids and the community. She said that if she is a new person
coming in, she is more likely to move their family here than somewhere else if they regulate
cannabis.
Mr. Arnson said that at a minimum, this ordinance allows the Town Council to decide what
they want to do in the future; it preserves their rights.
Vice Mayor Scharnow said that there are a lot of things in the proposed proposition that are
not good. He urged everyone to vote no, and he fully supported the proposed ordinance.
MOVED BY Vice Mayor Mike Scharnow, SECONDED BY Councilmember David Spelich to
adopt Ordinance 20-25.
Vote: 6 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
E.CONSIDERATION OF amending Christmas Light Decorators contract in an amount not to
exceed $15,000.
Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin said that on the first Saturday of December,
the Fountain Hills community welcomes the holiday season by hosting a number of
programs and activities. One of the most anticipated components of the day is the
illumination of the annual light display along the Avenue Linear Park. The lights are officially
lit during a Town-wide celebration hosted by the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce,
known as the Stroll in the Glow. Though the Town does not organize the event, staff
collaborates with the Chamber of Commerce to ensure the lights and other logistics are
installed in time for the program. Due to COVID-19 and current safety mandates, the
Chamber has had to eliminate many of the standard components of this event. In an effort to
bolster the event and increase engagement while adhering to social distancing guidelines,
the Town is considering a one-time expansion of the light installation. The expansion would
include increased displays and/or decor, as budget and stock allow.
Christmas Light Decorators is the current provider of the holiday lights and displays and is
currently contracted at $35,000 annually. A one-time increase to the contract is requested,
not to exceed $15,000, to be used to enhance the displays within the Avenue Linear Park.
Budget savings from other events and programs, including Independence Day and Turkey
Trot, will be reallocated for this expenditure.
Councilmember Spelich said that he is not anti-Christmas, but he thinks that $15,000 is a
significant amount of money. He said that he would like staff to look into purchasing a
display; something that the Town could hold onto and be used every year. Mr. Miller said that
they had the same thought; however, some of the issue is with storage. Ms. Goodwin added
that there is also the annual maintenance. Councilmember Tolis said that would be good
money going after bad, and the equipment would depreciate very quickly. He said that he
trusts Ms. Goodwin's thinking and thinks this is a good investment. It has been a difficult year
and it would be nice to have Fountain Hills recognized for having amazing lights. They
Town Council Regular Meeting of October 20, 2020 8 of 10
should work with the newspaper and event coordinators. He was in favor of the request.
Vice Mayor Scharnow said that he tends to be in favor of it as well. He said that maybe for
next year they could look into buying/renting and developing a long-term plan. Mr. Miller said
that is a good idea; they will follow up and report back to the Council.
MOVED BY Councilmember Art Tolis, SECONDED BY Vice Mayor Mike Scharnow to
authorize Town Manager to proceed with procurement of additional holiday lighting displays in
an amount not to exceed $15,000.
Vote: 6 - 0 Passed - Unanimously
F.CONSIDERATION OF approving the fifth (5th) amendment to Professional Services
Agreement C2017-083 in the amount of $16,701.64 with the CK Group, Inc. for engineering
design services.
Mr. Miller said that last year the Town Council selected the roundabout as the optimal
alternative to safely move traffic and improve pedestrian safety at this intersection. Last
spring CK Group completed the construction design and engineering documents for the
roundabout prior to the town seeking qualified bids to construct the roundabout project.
Shortly after construction was underway, a potential pedestrian and vehicular safety
issue was discovered with the dedicated right turn lane. At the direction of staff, CK Group
redesigned the eastbound approach to improve the pedestrian and vehicular safety at the
southbound lanes of La Montana. The firm also addressed drainage issues that resulted
from removing the dedicated right turn lane. The roundabout redesign, safety and drainage
issues have been resolved and final construction of the project should be at or near
completion as of the date of the Council meeting on October 20, 2020. The cost of the
roundabout design changes resulted in a cost of $16,701.64.
Mr. Weldy said that with the prior design, a retention basin was not needed; however, in
reducing the pavement width, motorists are unable to get out of the deeper water, so the
retention basin will collect the stormwater upstream. After storm events there are large
quantities of water and they flow for one to three days down the Avenue. This will help to
minimize some of those issues. He noted that these are just retention; once they reach
capacity the water will be flowing out.
Mr. Weldy said that the final paving for the minor redesign will be tomorrow and provided
everything goes right, tomorrow night they will remove all of the temporary signs. He said
that there will still be a 2" drop-off. They are finishing the downtown paving at the direction of
the Council. When they come back within the next two to three weeks, they will be putting a
new coat on the Avenue of the Fountains and La Montana.
Councilmember Magazine said that once that have a definite date, they should get the
information on the Town's website.
MOVED BY Councilmember Alan Magazine, SECONDED BY Councilmember Gerry
Friedel to approve Contract Amendment No. 5 (to PSA Contract No. C2017-087) to the CK
Group, Inc. in the amount of $16,701.64.

Councilmember Tolis said that with everything being in the downtown area, he would like to
see Mr. Goodwin and her team, and economic development staff, plan something for the
businesses to create a buzz. Perhaps they could work with Judi Yates and the Farmers
Market to do something special in the spring if they are allowed to focus on the downtown
and fill the vacancies they have.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): PUBLIC HEARING AND
CONSIDERATION OF Resolution 2020-42 adopting the Town's FY 2021-22 Comprehensive User Fee
Schedule.
Staff Summary (background)
User fees are charged by local governments for products, services, and rentals provided to individuals or
groups for their direct benefit. These fees rarely cover the entire cost incurred by the local government
to obtain, maintain, and provide the products, services, and assets for rental. The unrecovered costs are
subsidized from other funding sources, most notably the General Fund.
In an effort to evaluate the cost of providing municipal services and to ensure the reasonable
distribution of subsidies, the Town engaged Willdan Financial Services and Pat Walker Consulting to
conduct the Town’s first Comprehensive User Fee Study. This evaluation was the first time that the town
had a comprehensive cost of service study conducted. The study was designed to calculate the full cost,
including indirect costs, for each fee included in the FY 2020 Comprehensive User Fee Schedule. Once
calculated, the full cost was compared to the existing fees to determine the current subsidy amount.
Based on that information, and multiple discussions with staff, the attached draft report was compiled,
including proposed revisions to the fee schedule. Due to the large number of fees included in the
schedule, the report and fee schedule were divided into sections based on departments and the types
of products, services, or rentals provided.
The Town Council held a work session on September 22, 2020, during which involved the consultants
presenting the results of the cost of service study with a proposed a new fee schedule. At the work
session, staff provided additional information regarding rentals and services included in the schedule
and the costs to provide them. After discussion by the Town Council, direction was directed staff to
move forward with the proposed fees for FY 2021-22. It should be noted that due to a state law
enacted a few years ago, municipalities are mandated to demonstrate a connection between
recommended adjustments of fees to the actual cost of services.
Adoption of the resolution being considered would implement the proposed fees in the Comprehensive
User Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2021.

Risk Analysis
If the resolution is not adopted, the Town's current fee schedule will remain in effect. In general, this
would result in reduced revenue collections for services provided by the Town.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 11/17/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Community Services
Prepared by: Jamie Salentine, Executive Assistant
Staff Contact Information: Rachael Goodwin, Community Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF Approving
contract 2021-007 for General Plumbing Services, which encompass three (3) as-needed Job Order
Master Agreement Contracts; 2021-007A, 2021-007B, and 2021-007C with terms for a period of
one-year with up to four, one year renewable options and with identical compensation not to exceed
$125,000 per contract in a twelve (12) month period.
Staff Summary (Background)
The Town periodically uses vendors from different trades to provide plumbing services. With a desire to
consolidate these services under one contract, the Town issued a Request for Qualifications from
qualified, licensed vendors interested in providing some or all of the Town's general plumbing services
needs under Contract 2021-007, through the use of Job Order Contracting (JOC).
JOC is an Arizona-approved procurement process that streamlines the process for contracting
numerous, commonly encountered plumbing projects quickly and easily through multi-year contracts.
This procedure reduces unnecessary levels of engineering, design, and contract procurement time along
with plumbing project procurement costs by awarding long-term contracts for a wide variety of
renovation, repair, and maintenance projects. The master agreement will provide all town departments
with plumbing vendors that will offer a broad range of plumbing services on an as-needed basis.
A Request for Qualifications was published in the Fountain Hills Times on 08/26/20 and 09/02/20 and in
the Arizona Business Gazette on 08/27/20 and 09/03/20, as well as the Town's website and at Town
Hall. The Town received four (4) proposals on or prior to the deadline of September 24, 2020.
After thorough review of proposals by an internal committee, the Town accepted three (3) of the
proposals and requested a Master Agreement be prepared by the Town Attorney for: Plumbing. Each
agreement will be for an amount not to exceed $125,000 per year for a period of one year with up to
four, one-year renewal options. Vendors will be chosen to complete projects on an as needed basis,
provided budgetary funds are available.
These agreements have all been forwarded to the following vendors, and have been executed and
returned to the Town:
2021-007A - Benson Systems
2021-007B - Master Rooter, LLC
2021-007C - P.M. Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
N/A
Risk Analysis
The use of Job Order Contracting increases efficiency and reduces time and resources expended on a
per-project basis. It allows faster response times to critical situations and reduces "downtime" of
facilities to better serve the public.

SUGGESTED MOTION
MOVE to Approve Job Order Master Agreement Contracts Nos. 2021-007A, 2021-007B, and 2021-007C,

JOB ORDER MASTER AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
AND

RECITALS
A. The Town issued a Request for Qualifications, 2021-007, Plumbing Services (the

reference, seeking statements of qualifications from vendors for plumbing services.
B. The Contractor submitted a Statement of Qualifications (the “SOQ”) in response
to the RFQ, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, and the Town
desires to enter into an Agreement with the Contractor for plumbing services (the “Services”).
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing introduction and recitals, which
are incorporated herein by reference, the following mutual covenants and conditions, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Town and the Contractor hereby agree as follows:
1. Term of Contract. This Contract shall be effective as of the date first set forth
above and shall remain in full force and effect for one year with up to four (one) year renewable
options.
2. Job Order Master Contract Process.
2.1 This Contract establishes an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, Job
Order Contract for such Services within the scope of this Contract as Town may request from
time to time by issuance of an individual Job Order for each Project. A separate Job Order will
be issued for each Project describing the specific Work to be performed by the Contractor for
that Project.
2.2 Town shall have the right to perform work of the types included in this
Contract itself or to have other Contractors perform such work.
2.3 This Contract does not obligate or require Town to offer any Job Order to
Contractor and no Contract will exist for any specific Work until a Job Order for such Work has
been fully executed by Town and Contractor.
B-2
2.4 Scope of Work Under This Contract. The Contractor will provide all
labor, tools, management, materials, parts and supplies, equipment, and transportation necessary
to furnish a broad range of plumbing services at various locations throughout the Town of
Fountain Hills on an as-needed basis. Plumbing services will include complete troubleshooting
and repair of existing plumbing systems, installation of new components, general maintenance,
and may include responses to emergency calls outside of normal Town operating hours.
2.5 Contract Price for Each Job Order. The amount to be paid by Town for
the Project under each Job Order is the Contract Price for the Job Order. The Contract Price
includes the Contract Price for the Work. The Contract Price for any Job Order may be a Fixed
Price or a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), subject to the following:
A. The cumulative sum of the Job Orders performed by Contractor
during any twelve (12) month period shall not exceed $125,000.00.
B. There is no limit on the number of Job Orders that the Town may
issue to Contractor during any twelve (12) month period of this Contract or during the
entire period this Contract is in effect.
C. Contractor may not refuse any Job Order under this Contract
properly issued by Town, unless Contractor explains, in writing and to Town’s
satisfaction, that the scope of work under a specific Job Order is poorly defined or
hazardous to health or safety.
3. Performance of the Work.
3.1 Specifications. The Maricopa Association of Governments, Uniform
Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, current edition (“MAG Specifications”),
Maricopa Association of Governments, Standard Details for Public Works Construction, current
edition (“MAG Details”), have been adopted by Town and shall apply to the Work, to the extent
applicable. In addition, to the extent Town has adopted its own Town Specifications, and/or
Supplements and/or Modifications to the MAG Specifications or MAG Details (collectively the
“Town Specifications”), those Town Specifications shall apply to the Work when and where
appropriate and the Contractor shall fully comply therewith. Any questions or concerns about
the applicability of any specific MAG or Town Specifications to the Work shall be directed in
writing to the Project Engineer. The MAG Specifications, MAG Details and Town
Specifications are incorporated into the Contract.
3.2 Coordination. Contractor shall also cooperate with Town in
communicating with, obtaining necessary approvals or permits from, and responding to, any
applicable government entity or regulatory agency, including participation in any hearings or
meetings.
3.3 Extra Work/Changes in the Work/Approvals. Town reserves the right to
make such changes in the plans and specifications for the Work, within the general scope
B-3
thereof, as it may deem appropriate and any such change as set forth in a written Change Order
or Extra Work Order shall be deemed a part of this Contract as if originally incorporated herein.
A. Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for additional work
unless a written Change Order or Extra Work Order, in form and content prescribed by
Town, has been executed by Town prior to starting the additional work; on all such
Change Orders and Extra Work Orders, Contractor shall specify the increased and/or
decreased costs and whether it believes any extensions of time will be necessary to
complete its Work as modified by the Change Order or Extra Work Order. In no event,
however, will the Contractor be entitled to collect for overhead and profit for such
changes more than the percentages of Contractor’s actual and direct cost incurred in such
change as set forth in the corresponding Change Order. If additional work is performed
on the basis of an Extra Work Order, a corresponding Change Order shall be prepared,
approved and processed by Town before payment can be made to Contractor.
B. Upon request by Town, Contractor shall submit for Town’s prior
approval all samples, product data, shop drawings on all materials, systems and
equipment to be incorporated into the Work.
C. The Project Manager shall be designated by the Town. All
communications concerning performance of the Work or the Project shall be provided to
the designated Project Manager, who has the authority to act on behalf of Town, as
delineated and limited by the Contract Documents and applicable law. The Project
Manager has no authority to bind Town or Town Council in contravention of any Town
Code, State or Federal statute or regulation, or this Contract. Project communications
may be exchanged by e-mail upon the written agreement of the Project Manager and
Contractor, but e-mail communications are not binding upon Town and cannot change
the terms of the Contract or the scope of Work, or effectuate any change that requires a
written change order. The use of e-mails is for information only, and e-mails will have
no legal or binding effect.
3.4 Time/Float. Contractor shall strictly comply with the Project schedule
approved in writing by Town (the “Contract Time”). The Contract Time shall start with the
Notice to Proceed and end with final acceptance of the Work. Contractor shall commence
performance of the Work and complete the Project through both substantial completion and final
acceptance within the Contract Time, and failure to do so shall be a material breach of the
Contract.
A. Time is of the essence of the Contract, for each Project, for the
Work, and for each phase and/or designated milestone thereof.
B. No modification to the Contract Documents or the Contract Time
shall be effective unless approved in writing, in advance, by Town.
C. The total float time within the overall schedule is for the exclusive
use of Town, but Town may approve Contractor’s use of float as needed to meet contract
milestones and the Project completion date.
B-4
4. Payments. Payments shall be made as follows:
4.1 Progress Payments.
A. Progress billings will be processed monthly starting upon Project
commencement.
B. Contractor billings shall be submitted on Contractor’s typical
invoice form.
C. A list of all suppliers (including name, contact information and
phone numbers) to be used by Contractor must be received and approved by Town, prior
to release of Contractor’s monthly progress payment. Town’s approval of Contractor’s
suppliers shall not release Contractor from any of its obligations under this Contract,
including without limitation, Contractor’s indemnification, and insurance obligations.
D. If required by Town, Contractor will be required to execute an
Unconditional Waiver and Release on Progress Payment or Unconditional Waiver and
Release on final payment contemporaneously with the receipt of partial or final
payments, or other form of acknowledgment of payment and/or release of claims as
required by Town, as well as unconditional lien waivers executed by subcontractors
and/or suppliers who have provided labor, materials, or rental equipment to Contractor.
Payments of any amounts covered by any conditional lien waivers may, at Town’s sole
discretion, be made by joint check issued to the Contractor and the subcontractor or
supplier.
E. Contractor shall submit all other supporting documentation
substantiating its Invoice as may be reasonably required by the Engineer, Project
Manager, Town, and applicable laws.
4.2 Final Payment. Final payment including retainage shall be paid only after:
(i) the Work has been fully completed (including completion of all incorrect or
incomplete work items) and accepted by Town; (ii) necessary operating manuals, any
excess materials and supplies necessary for matching materials and supplies incorporated
into the Work, and complete “as-built” drawings, plans and specifications have been
delivered to Town; (iii) if required by Town, full and unconditional lien waivers and
releases by Contractor and any person performing labor or supplying material,
machinery, fixtures, or tools for the Work have been delivered to Town; (iv) all
conditions and requirements imposed by Town or any financing entity for the
corresponding disbursement have been met; and (v) Contractor delivers to Town an
Invoice requesting payment. The Contract number must be referenced on all invoices.
4.3 Town’s Right to Withhold Payment. Town may withhold payment to such
extent as may be necessary in Town’s opinion to protect Town from loss for which the
Contractor is responsible, including, without limitation:
B-5
A. defective Work not remedied;
B. third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable
filing of such claims unless security acceptable to Town is provided by the Contractor;
C. failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to
Subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment;
D. reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
E. damage to Town or another contractor;
F. reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within
the Contract Time (or otherwise by Town), and that the unpaid balance would not be
adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or
G. persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
4.4 Joint/Direct Checks. Payments to Contractor may be made by checks
payable jointly to Contractor and its employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers, or
any of them, and when in the sole opinion of Town it is advisable, payments may be
made directly to Contractor's subcontractors and any amount so paid shall be deducted
from the amounts owed to Contractor under this Contract.
4.5 Payment Not A Waiver. No payment (nor use or occupancy of the Project
by Town) shall be deemed acceptance or approval of the Work or as a waiver of any
claims, rights, or remedies of Town.
4.6 Liens and Bond Claims. Contractor shall make all payments, in the time
required, of all labor and materials furnished to Contractor in the course of the Work and
shall promptly furnish evidence of such payments as Town may require. Contractor shall
pay when due all claims arising out of performance of the Work covered by this Contract
for which a lien may be filed either against the real estate or leasehold interest of Town,
or against payments due from Town to Contractor, or for which a claim may be made
against any payment or performance bond or both. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Contractor agrees that no liens or other claims in the nature of a lien against the real
estate, leasehold, or other interest of Town, against payment due from Town to
Contractor, or against any payment or performance bond, shall be filed or made in
connection with the Work by any party who has supplied professional services, labor,
materials, machinery, fixtures, tools, or equipment used in or in connection with the
performance of this Contract, and Contractor agrees to remove or to cause to be removed
any such liens or claims in the nature of a lien or bond claim within ten (10) days upon
receiving notice or obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of such liens or claims.
In addition, Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Town from and
against any and all such liens and claims. This paragraph does not apply to claims and
liens of Contractor due to non-payment for Work performed.
B-6
5. Documents. All documents, including any intellectual property rights thereto,
prepared and submitted to the Town pursuant to this Agreement shall be the property of the
Town.
6. Contractor Personnel. Contractor shall provide adequate, experienced personnel,
capable of and devoted to the successful performance of the Services under this Agreement.
Contractor agrees to assign specific individuals to key positions. Contractor agrees that, upon
commencement of the Services to be performed under this Agreement, key personnel shall not
be removed or replaced without prior written notice to the Town. If key personnel are not
available to perform the Services for a continuous period exceeding 30 calendar days, or are
expected to devote substantially less effort to the Services than initially anticipated, Contractor
shall immediately notify the Town of same and shall, subject to the concurrence of the Town,
replace such personnel with personnel possessing substantially equal ability and qualifications.
7. Inspection; Acceptance. All work shall be subject to inspection and acceptance
by the Town at reasonable times during Contractor’s performance. The Contractor shall provide
and maintain a self-inspection system that is acceptable to the Town.
8. Licenses; Materials. Contractor shall maintain in current status all federal, state
and local licenses and permits required for the operation of the business conducted by the
Contractor, without limitation, all of Contractor’s applicable licenses issued by the Arizona
Registrar of Contractors. The Town has no obligation to provide Contractor, its employees or
subcontractors any business registrations or licenses required to perform the specific services set
forth in this Agreement. The Town has no obligation to provide tools, equipment or material to
Contractor.
9. Work Standards, Warranties and Correction of Work. All materials and any other
items incorporated into the Work shall be new, and all Work shall be of good and workmanlike
quality and completed in strict conformance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and
the plans, specifications, schedules, Contract Documents and all other terms and conditions of
the Contract.
9.1 Express Warranties. Within fourteen (14) days of the completion of the
Work (or at such earlier time as requested by Town), Contractor shall execute and deliver to
Town all warranties regarding the Work required by the Project plans and specifications. These
warranties shall be in form and content satisfactory to Town, and any other person reasonably
requested by Town, or Town’s lender(s).
9.2 Standard Warranty. In the absence of any requirement for warranties in
the Project specifications, Contractor hereby warrants that the Work shall be free of any defects
in quality or workmanship for a period of two (2) years after the date of completion and
acceptance of the Project by Town.
9.3 Correction of Work. The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected
by the Project Engineer, Project Manager, or Town as failing to conform to the requirements of
the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting such rejected Work. In
addition to the Contractor’s other obligations including warranties under the Contract, the
B-7
Contractor shall, for a period of (two) 2 years after Substantial Completion, correct work not
conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents. If the Contractor fails to correct
nonconforming Work within a reasonable time, Town may correct it and the Contractor shall
reimburse Town for the cost of correction.
10. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Town and each council member, officer, employee or agent
thereof (the Town and any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever
(“Claims”) to the extent that such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by the
negligent acts, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Contractor’s work or services in the
performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name,
to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of this
Agreement, the Town, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage sections of
this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
B-8
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Contractor shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Contractor. Contractor
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.
J. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to commencing any work or services
under this Agreement, Contractor will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
B-9
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Contractor’s

and will have all remedies that are available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
the remedy of specific performance. If the nature of the defaulting party’s nonperformance is
such that it cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, then the defaulting party will have such
additional periods of time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances, provided the
defaulting party immediately (A) provides written notice to the non-defaulting party and (B)
commences to cure its nonperformance and thereafter diligently continues to completion the cure
of its nonperformance. In no event shall any such cure period exceed 90 days. In the event of

undisputed portion of its fee due as of the termination date.

upon 30 days’ written notice to Contractor in the event that the Services are permanently

12.4 Conflict of Interest. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of ARIZ.
REV. STAT. § 38-511. The Town may cancel this Agreement without penalty or further
obligations by the Town or any of its departments or agencies if any person significantly

Town or any of its departments or agencies is, at any time while this Agreement or any extension
of this Agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity
or a consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
12.5 Gratuities. The Town may, by written notice to the Contractor, cancel this
Agreement if it is found by the Town that gratuities, in the form of economic opportunity, future
employment, entertainment, gifts or otherwise, were offered or given by the Contractor or any
agent or representative of the Contractor to any officer, agent or employee of the Town for the
purpose of securing this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is canceled by the Town
pursuant to this provision, the Town shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and
remedies, to recover and withhold from the Contractor an amount equal to 150% of the gratuity.
12.6 Agreement Subject to Appropriation. This Agreement is subject to the
provisions of ARIZ. CONST. ART. IX, § 5 and ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 42-17106. The provisions of
this Agreement for payment of funds by the Town shall be effective when funds are appropriated
for purposes of this Agreement and are actually available for payment. The Town shall be the
sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this Agreement and the
Town shall keep the Contractor fully informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement.
B-12
The obligation of the Town to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is a current
expense of the Town, payable exclusively from such annual appropriations, and is not a general

expenses, overhead, or profits in relation to any work not actually performed, or for any future or
anticipated profits, recovery, damages, expenses, or loses.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee
or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
the Services provided under this Agreement are being provided as an independent contractor, not
as an employee or agent of the Town. Contractor, its employees and subcontractors are not
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the
authority to supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors.
The Contractor, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the Services
provided under this Agreement so long as Contractor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope
of Work as set forth in Section 2 above. Contractor is neither prohibited from entering into other
contracts nor prohibited from practicing its profession elsewhere. Town and Contractor do not
intend to nor will they combine business operations under this Agreement.
13.2 Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Arizona and suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in
Maricopa County, Arizona.
13.3 Laws and Regulations. Contractor shall keep fully informed and shall at
all times during the performance of its duties under this Agreement ensure that it and any person
for whom the Contractor is responsible abides by, and remains in compliance with, all rules,
regulations, ordinances, statutes or laws affecting the Services, including, but not limited to, the
following: (A) existing and future Town and County ordinances and regulations; (B) existing and
future State and Federal laws; and (C) existing and future Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.
13.4 Amendments. This Agreement may be modified only by a written
amendment signed by persons duly authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the Town and
the Contractor.
B-13
13.5 Provisions Required by Law. Each and every provision of law and any
clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were
included herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not
correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
13.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which may remain in effect without
the invalid provision or application.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain
meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.
13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the
Town Manager. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Contractor in violation of this
provision shall be a breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.9 Subcontracts. No subcontract shall be entered into by the Contractor with
any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior
written approval of the Town. The Contractor is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Contractor from any
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings any action for any relief,
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorneys’
fees and reasonable costs and expenses, determined by the court sitting without a jury, which
B-14
shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be enforced
whether or not such action is prosecuted through judgment.
13.12 Liens. All materials or services shall be free of all liens and, if the Town
requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.
13.13 Offset.
A. Offset for Damages. In addition to all other remedies at law or
equity, the Town may offset from any money due to the Contractor any amounts
Contractor owes to the Town for damages resulting from breach or deficiencies in
performance or breach of any obligation under this Agreement.

any money due to the Contractor any amounts Contractor owes to the Town for
delinquent fees, transaction privilege taxes and property taxes, including any interest or
penalties.

Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, current edition (“MAG Specifications”),
Maricopa Association of Governments, Standard Details for Public Works Construction, current
edition (“MAG Details”), have been adopted by Town and shall apply to the Work, to the extent
applicable. In addition, to the extent Town has adopted its own Town Specifications, and/or
Supplements and/or Modifications to the MAG Specifications or MAG Details (collectively the
“Town Specifications”), those Town Specifications shall apply to the Work when and where
appropriate and the Contractor shall fully comply therewith. Any questions or concerns about
the applicability of any specific MAG or Town Specifications to the Work shall be directed in
writing to the Project Engineer. The MAG Specifications, MAG Details and Town
Specifications are incorporated into the Contract.

communicating with, obtaining necessary approvals or permits from, and responding to, any
applicable government entity or regulatory agency, including participation in any hearings or
meetings.
3.3 Extra Work/Changes in the Work/Approvals. Town reserves the right to
make such changes in the plans and specifications for the Work, within the general scope
B-3
thereof, as it may deem appropriate and any such change as set forth in a written Change Order
or Extra Work Order shall be deemed a part of this Contract as if originally incorporated herein.
A. Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for additional work
unless a written Change Order or Extra Work Order, in form and content prescribed by
Town, has been executed by Town prior to starting the additional work; on all such
Change Orders and Extra Work Orders, Contractor shall specify the increased and/or
decreased costs and whether it believes any extensions of time will be necessary to
complete its Work as modified by the Change Order or Extra Work Order. In no event,
however, will the Contractor be entitled to collect for overhead and profit for such
changes more than the percentages of Contractor’s actual and direct cost incurred in such
change as set forth in the corresponding Change Order. If additional work is performed
on the basis of an Extra Work Order, a corresponding Change Order shall be prepared,
approved and processed by Town before payment can be made to Contractor.

delineated and limited by the Contract Documents and applicable law. The Project
Manager has no authority to bind Town or Town Council in contravention of any Town
Code, State or Federal statute or regulation, or this Contract. Project communications
may be exchanged by e-mail upon the written agreement of the Project Manager and
Contractor, but e-mail communications are not binding upon Town and cannot change
the terms of the Contract or the scope of Work, or effectuate any change that requires a
written change order. The use of e-mails is for information only, and e-mails will have
no legal or binding effect.
3.4 Time/Float. Contractor shall strictly comply with the Project schedule
approved in writing by Town (the “Contract Time”). The Contract Time shall start with the

performance of the Work and complete the Project through both substantial completion and final

Contract.

Work, and for each phase and/or designated milestone thereof.
B. No modification to the Contract Documents or the Contract Time
shall be effective unless approved in writing, in advance, by Town.

milestones and the Project completion date.

required by Town, as well as unconditional lien waivers executed by subcontractors
and/or suppliers who have provided labor, materials, or rental equipment to Contractor.
Payments of any amounts covered by any conditional lien waivers may, at Town’s sole
discretion, be made by joint check issued to the Contractor and the subcontractor or
supplier.

incomplete work items) and accepted by Town; (ii) necessary operating manuals, any
excess materials and supplies necessary for matching materials and supplies incorporated
into the Work, and complete “as-built” drawings, plans and specifications have been
delivered to Town; (iii) if required by Town, full and unconditional lien waivers and
releases by Contractor and any person performing labor or supplying material,
machinery, fixtures, or tools for the Work have been delivered to Town; (iv) all

unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;

adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or
G. persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
4.4 Joint/Direct Checks. Payments to Contractor may be made by checks
payable jointly to Contractor and its employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers, or
any of them, and when in the sole opinion of Town it is advisable, payments may be
made directly to Contractor's subcontractors and any amount so paid shall be deducted
from the amounts owed to Contractor under this Contract.
4.5 Payment Not A Waiver. No payment (nor use or occupancy of the Project
by Town) shall be deemed acceptance or approval of the Work or as a waiver of any
claims, rights, or remedies of Town.
4.6 Liens and Bond Claims. Contractor shall make all payments, in the time
required, of all labor and materials furnished to Contractor in the course of the Work and
shall promptly furnish evidence of such payments as Town may require. Contractor shall

for which a lien may be filed either against the real estate or leasehold interest of Town,
or against payments due from Town to Contractor, or for which a claim may be made
against any payment or performance bond or both. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Contractor agrees that no liens or other claims in the nature of a lien against the real
estate, leasehold, or other interest of Town, against payment due from Town to
Contractor, or against any payment or performance bond, shall be filed or made in
connection with the Work by any party who has supplied professional services, labor,
materials, machinery, fixtures, tools, or equipment used in or in connection with the
performance of this Contract, and Contractor agrees to remove or to cause to be removed
any such liens or claims in the nature of a lien or bond claim within ten (10) days upon
receiving notice or obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of such liens or claims.
In addition, Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Town from and
against any and all such liens and claims. This paragraph does not apply to claims and
liens of Contractor due to non-payment for Work performed.

available to perform the Services for a continuous period exceeding 30 calendar days, or are

shall immediately notify the Town of same and shall, subject to the concurrence of the Town,
replace such personnel with personnel possessing substantially equal ability and qualifications.

the plans, specifications, schedules, Contract Documents and all other terms and conditions of
the Contract.

Work (or at such earlier time as requested by Town), Contractor shall execute and deliver to
Town all warranties regarding the Work required by the Project plans and specifications. These
warranties shall be in form and content satisfactory to Town, and any other person reasonably
requested by Town, or Town’s lender(s).
9.2 Standard Warranty. In the absence of any requirement for warranties in

limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever
(“Claims”) to the extent that such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by the
negligent acts, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Contractor’s work or services in the
performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name,
to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of this
Agreement, the Town, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage sections of
this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
B-8
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Contractor shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Contractor. Contractor
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.

under this Agreement, Contractor will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
B-9
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Contractor’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the Town 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or
declarations received without the appropriate RFQ number and title or a reference to this
Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s)
of the insurance policies submitted without referencing the appropriate RFQ number and
title or a reference to this Agreement, as applicable, will be subject to rejection and may
be returned or discarded. Certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) shall
specifically include the following provisions:

notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its
agents or representatives” shall be deleted. Certificate forms other than ACORD

of such default, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement immediately for cause
and will have all remedies that are available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
the remedy of specific performance. If the nature of the defaulting party’s nonperformance is
such that it cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, then the defaulting party will have such
additional periods of time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances, provided the
defaulting party immediately (A) provides written notice to the non-defaulting party and (B)
commences to cure its nonperformance and thereafter diligently continues to completion the cure

upon 30 days’ written notice to Contractor in the event that the Services are permanently

of this Agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity
or a consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.

anticipated profits, recovery, damages, expenses, or loses.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee
or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
the Services provided under this Agreement are being provided as an independent contractor, not
as an employee or agent of the Town. Contractor, its employees and subcontractors are not
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the
authority to supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors.
The Contractor, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the Services
provided under this Agreement so long as Contractor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope
of Work as set forth in Section 2 above. Contractor is neither prohibited from entering into other
contracts nor prohibited from practicing its profession elsewhere. Town and Contractor do not
intend to nor will they combine business operations under this Agreement.

following: (A) existing and future Town and County ordinances and regulations; (B) existing and
future State and Federal laws; and (C) existing and future Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.

clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were
included herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not
correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
13.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which may remain in effect without
the invalid provision or application.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain
meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.
13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the

provision shall be a breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.9 Subcontracts. No subcontract shall be entered into by the Contractor with
any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior
written approval of the Town. The Contractor is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Contractor from any
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings any action for any relief,
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorneys’

requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.

Trenchless Sewer
Replacement
,, ' ::• 1·,' .,.,:,-:•.,,. '· .. ,:;.;~,•: .. ,.~·

\
• Trenchless Sewer Replacement (Pipe Bursting) is a method of pipe replacement that we
utilize to replace pipe. Pipe busting gives us a brand new, seamless pipeline without any
joints. Making it impervious to tree roots, and joint separations. Pipe bursting also
allows us to increase the pipe size if needed. In some cases we can even fix bellies. We
are licensed and certified by TRIC.
• How it works is using two points of access. We pull a cable through the old pipe, fuse the
new pipe together. Using a cone shaped head, our hydraulic equipment will pull our new
pipe through the old pipe, bursting the old pipe apart. Once the new pipe is pulled into
place, we then connect it back to the service lines.

CIPP Epoxy
Pipe Lining
(Cured In
Place Pipe)
• Master Rooter is one of the only certified installers in the state of Arizona that can install CIPP.
We are licensed and certified through Perma-Liner Industries.
• CIPP works by first cleaning and descaling the host pipe. Once the host pipe is cleaned, we
measure and cut our liners job site specific, saturate with a 2-part epoxy resin mixture, and
saturate the felt liner. Using compressed air and our single access point we invert the liner into
the pipe. The liner will then cure for a designated amount of time and a brand new pipe will be
in place of the old one, using the old pipe as a host pipe.
Pipe lining saves time and money. However, not all pipes can be lined. Pipe bursting is an
option. Regardless of the condition of the pipe, Master Rooter has options to service all your
plumbing and drain needs.

length or up to ten feet in length. Master Rooter as a vast array of options available.
•We also have the ability to keep your sewer running while making repairs by utilizing our flow
through packers that allow us to keep the sewer running while also making the repair with the least
amount of disruption to your business.

make such changes in the plans and specifications for the Work, within the general scope
B-3
thereof, as it may deem appropriate and any such change as set forth in a written Change Order
or Extra Work Order shall be deemed a part of this Contract as if originally incorporated herein.

Change Orders and Extra Work Orders, Contractor shall specify the increased and/or
decreased costs and whether it believes any extensions of time will be necessary to
complete its Work as modified by the Change Order or Extra Work Order. In no event,
however, will the Contractor be entitled to collect for overhead and profit for such

Code, State or Federal statute or regulation, or this Contract. Project communications
may be exchanged by e-mail upon the written agreement of the Project Manager and

made directly to Contractor's subcontractors and any amount so paid shall be deducted
from the amounts owed to Contractor under this Contract.

any such liens or claims in the nature of a lien or bond claim within ten (10) days upon
receiving notice or obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of such liens or claims.

limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever

negligent acts, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Contractor’s work or services in the
performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name,
to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of this
Agreement, the Town, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage sections of
this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
B-8
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Contractor shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Contractor. Contractor
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.

under this Agreement, Contractor will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
B-9
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Contractor’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the Town 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or
declarations received without the appropriate RFQ number and title or a reference to this
Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s)

13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee

correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.

the invalid provision or application.

13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the

responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 11/17/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Community Services
Prepared by: Jamie Salentine, Executive Assistant
Staff Contact Information: Rachael Goodwin, Community Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF Approving
contract 2021-008 for General Electrical Services, which encompass five (5) as-need basis Job Order
Master Agreement Contracts; 2021-008A, 2021-008B, 2021-008C, 2021-008D, and 2021-008E with
identical terms for a period of one-year with up to four, one-year renewable options and with identical
compensation not to exceed $125,000 per contract in a twelve (12) month period.
Staff Summary (Background)
The Town periodically uses various vendors to provide professional services relating to electric repairs
and projects. With a desire to consolidate these services under one contract, the Town issued a Request
for Qualifications for qualified, licensed vendors interested in providing some or all of the General
Electrical Services under Contract 2021-008, through the use of Job Order Contracting (JOC).
JOC is an Arizona-approved procurement process that provides for organizations to complete
numerous, commonly encountered electrical projects quickly and easily through multi-year contracts.
This procedure reduces unnecessary levels of engineering, design, and contract procurement time along
with electrical project procurement costs by awarding long-term contracts for a wide variety of
renovation, repair, and maintenance projects. This master agreement will provide all departments
within the Town with vendors from the electrical trade that will offer a broad range of electrical services
on an as-needed basis.
A Request for Proposals was published in the Fountain Hills Times on 08/26/20 and 09/02/20 and in the
Arizona Business Gazette on 08/27/20 and 09/03/20, as well as the Town's website and at Town Hall.
The Town received four (4) proposals on or prior to the deadline of September 24, 2020. After a
thorough review of the proposals by an internal committee, the Town accepted five (5) of the proposals
and requested a Master Agreement be prepared by the Town Attorney for General Electrical Services.
Each agreement will be for an amount not to exceed $125,000 per year for a period of one year with up
to four, one-year renewal options. Vendors will be chosen to complete projects on an as needed basis,
provided funding is available.
The following agreements have been forwarded to the vendors below and have been executed and
returned to the Town:
2021-008A - Geuther Electrical, LLC
2021-008B - Hawkeye Electric, Inc.
2021-008C - Hernandez Companies, Inc.
2021-008D - K2Electric, LLC
2021-008E - Utility Construction Company, Inc.

RECITALS
A. The Town issued a Request for Qualifications, 2021-008, Electrical Services (the
“RFQ”), a copy of which is on file in the Town Clerk’s Office and incorporated herein by
reference, seeking statements of qualifications from vendors for professional consulting services.
B. The Contractor submitted a Statement of Qualifications (the “SOQ”) in response
to the RFQ, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, and the Town
desires to enter into an Agreement with the Contractor for Electrical Services (the “Services”).
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing introduction and recitals, which
are incorporated herein by reference, the following mutual covenants and conditions, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Town and the Contractor hereby agree as follows:
1. Term of Contract. This Contract shall be effective as of the date first set forth
above and shall remain in full force and effect for one year with up to four (one) year renewable
options.
2. Job Order Master Contract Process.
2.1 This Contract establishes an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, Job
Order Contract for such Electrical Services within the scope of this Contract as Town may
request from time to time by issuance of an individual Job Order for each Project. A separate Job
Order will be issued for each Project describing the specific Work to be performed by the
Contractor for that Project.
2.2 Town shall have the right to perform work of the types included in this
Contract itself or to have other Contractors perform such work.
B-2
2.3 This Contract does not obligate or require Town to offer any Job Order to
Contractor and no Contract will exist for any specific Work until a Job Order for such Work has
been fully executed by Town and Contractor.
2.4 Scope of Work Under This Contract. The Contractor will provide all
labor, tools, management, materials, parts and supplies, equipment, and transportation necessary
to furnish a broad range of electrical services at various locations throughout the Town of
Fountain Hills on an as-needed basis. Electrical services will include complete troubleshooting
and repair of existing electrical systems, installation of new electrical components, general
maintenance, and may include responses to emergency calls outside of normal Town operating
hours.
2.5 Contract Price for Each Job Order. The amount to be paid by Town for
the Project under each Job Order is the Contract Price for the Job Order. The Contract Price
includes the Contract Price for the Work. The Contract Price for any Job Order may be a Fixed
Price or a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), subject to the following:
A. The cumulative sum of the Job Orders performed by Contractor
during any twelve (12) month period shall not exceed $125,000.00.
B. There is no limit on the number of Job Orders that the Town may
issue to Contractor during any twelve (12) month period of this Contract or during the
entire period this Contract is in effect.
C. Contractor may not refuse any Job Order under this Contract
properly issued by Town, unless Contractor explains, in writing and to Town’s
satisfaction, that the scope of work under a specific Job Order is poorly defined or
hazardous to health or safety.
3. Performance of the Work.
3.1 Specifications. The Maricopa Association of Governments, Uniform
Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, current edition (“MAG Specifications”),
Maricopa Association of Governments, Standard Details for Public Works Construction, current
edition (“MAG Details”), have been adopted by Town and shall apply to the Work, to the extent
applicable. In addition, to the extent Town has adopted its own Town Specifications, and/or
Supplements and/or Modifications to the MAG Specifications or MAG Details (collectively the
“Town Specifications”), those Town Specifications shall apply to the Work when and where
appropriate and the Contractor shall fully comply therewith. Any questions or concerns about
the applicability of any specific MAG or Town Specifications to the Work shall be directed in
writing to the Project Engineer. The MAG Specifications, MAG Details and Town
Specifications are incorporated into the Contract.
3.2 Coordination. Contractor shall also cooperate with Town in
communicating with, obtaining necessary approvals or permits from, and responding to, any
applicable government entity or regulatory agency, including participation in any hearings or
meetings.
B-3
3.3 Extra Work/Changes in the Work/Approvals. Town reserves the right to
make such changes in the plans and specifications for the Work, within the general scope
thereof, as it may deem appropriate and any such change as set forth in a written Change Order
or Extra Work Order shall be deemed a part of this Contract as if originally incorporated herein.
A. Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for additional work
unless a written Change Order or Extra Work Order, in form and content prescribed by
Town, has been executed by Town prior to starting the additional work; on all such
Change Orders and Extra Work Orders, Contractor shall specify the increased and/or
decreased costs and whether it believes any extensions of time will be necessary to
complete its Work as modified by the Change Order or Extra Work Order. In no event,
however, will the Contractor be entitled to collect for overhead and profit for such
changes more than the percentages of Contractor’s actual and direct cost incurred in such
change as set forth in the corresponding Change Order. If additional work is performed
on the basis of an Extra Work Order, a corresponding Change Order shall be prepared,
approved and processed by Town before payment can be made to Contractor.
B. Upon request by Town, Contractor shall submit for Town’s prior
approval all samples, product data, shop drawings on all materials, systems and
equipment to be incorporated into the Work.
C. The Project Manager shall be designated by the Town. All
communications concerning performance of the Work or the Project shall be provided to
the designated Project Manager, who has the authority to act on behalf of Town, as
delineated and limited by the Contract Documents and applicable law. The Project
Manager has no authority to bind Town or Town Council in contravention of any Town
Code, State or Federal statute or regulation, or this Contract. Project communications
may be exchanged by e-mail upon the written agreement of the Project Manager and
Contractor, but e-mail communications are not binding upon Town and cannot change
the terms of the Contract or the scope of Work, or effectuate any change that requires a
written change order. The use of e-mails is for information only, and e-mails will have
no legal or binding effect.
3.4 Time/Float. Contractor shall strictly comply with the Project schedule
approved in writing by Town (the “Contract Time”). The Contract Time shall start with the
Notice to Proceed and end with final acceptance of the Work. Contractor shall commence
performance of the Work and complete the Project through both substantial completion and final
acceptance within the Contract Time, and failure to do so shall be a material breach of the
Contract.
A. Time is of the essence of the Contract, for each Project, for the
Work, and for each phase and/or designated milestone thereof.
B. No modification to the Contract Documents or the Contract Time
shall be effective unless approved in writing, in advance, by Town.
B-4
C. The total float time within the overall schedule is for the exclusive
use of Town, but Town may approve Contractor’s use of float as needed to meet contract
milestones and the Project completion date.
4. Payments. Payments shall be made as follows:
4.1 Progress Payments.
A. Progress billings will be processed monthly starting upon Project
commencement.
B. Contractor billings shall be submitted on Contractor’s typical
invoice form.
C. A list of all suppliers (including name, contact information and
phone numbers) to be used by Contractor must be received and approved by Town, prior
to release of Contractor’s monthly progress payment. Town’s approval of Contractor’s
suppliers shall not release Contractor from any of its obligations under this Contract,
including without limitation, Contractor’s indemnification, and insurance obligations.
D. If required by Town, Contractor will be required to execute an
Unconditional Waiver and Release on Progress Payment or Unconditional Waiver and
Release on final payment contemporaneously with the receipt of partial or final
payments, or other form of acknowledgment of payment and/or release of claims as
required by Town, as well as unconditional lien waivers executed by subcontractors
and/or suppliers who have provided labor, materials, or rental equipment to Contractor.
Payments of any amounts covered by any conditional lien waivers may, at Town’s sole
discretion, be made by joint check issued to the Contractor and the subcontractor or
supplier.
E. Contractor shall submit all other supporting documentation
substantiating its Invoice as may be reasonably required by the Engineer, Project
Manager, Town, and applicable laws.
4.2 Final Payment. Final payment including retainage shall be paid only after:
(i) the Work has been fully completed (including completion of all incorrect or
incomplete work items) and accepted by Town; (ii) necessary operating manuals, any
excess materials and supplies necessary for matching materials and supplies incorporated
into the Work, and complete “as-built” drawings, plans and specifications have been
delivered to Town; (iii) if required by Town, full and unconditional lien waivers and
releases by Contractor and any person performing labor or supplying material,
machinery, fixtures, or tools for the Work have been delivered to Town; (iv) all
conditions and requirements imposed by Town or any financing entity for the
corresponding disbursement have been met; and (v) Contractor delivers to Town an
Invoice requesting payment. The Contract number must be referenced on all invoices.
B-5
4.3 Town’s Right to Withhold Payment. Town may withhold payment to such
extent as may be necessary in Town’s opinion to protect Town from loss for which the
Contractor is responsible, including, without limitation:
A. defective Work not remedied;
B. third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable
filing of such claims unless security acceptable to Town is provided by the Contractor;
C. failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to
Subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment;
D. reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
E. damage to Town or another contractor;
F. reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within
the Contract Time (or otherwise by Town), and that the unpaid balance would not be
adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or
G. persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
4.4 Joint/Direct Checks. Payments to Contractor may be made by checks
payable jointly to Contractor and its employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers, or
any of them, and when in the sole opinion of Town it is advisable, payments may be
made directly to Contractor's subcontractors and any amount so paid shall be deducted
from the amounts owed to Contractor under this Contract.
4.5 Payment Not A Waiver. No payment (nor use or occupancy of the Project
by Town) shall be deemed acceptance or approval of the Work or as a waiver of any
claims, rights, or remedies of Town.
4.6 Liens and Bond Claims. Contractor shall make all payments, in the time
required, of all labor and materials furnished to Contractor in the course of the Work and
shall promptly furnish evidence of such payments as Town may require. Contractor shall
pay when due all claims arising out of performance of the Work covered by this Contract
for which a lien may be filed either against the real estate or leasehold interest of Town,
or against payments due from Town to Contractor, or for which a claim may be made
against any payment or performance bond or both. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Contractor agrees that no liens or other claims in the nature of a lien against the real
estate, leasehold, or other interest of Town, against payment due from Town to
Contractor, or against any payment or performance bond, shall be filed or made in
connection with the Work by any party who has supplied professional services, labor,
materials, machinery, fixtures, tools, or equipment used in or in connection with the
performance of this Contract, and Contractor agrees to remove or to cause to be removed
any such liens or claims in the nature of a lien or bond claim within ten (10) days upon
B-6
receiving notice or obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of such liens or claims.
In addition, Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Town from and
against any and all such liens and claims. This paragraph does not apply to claims and
liens of Contractor due to non-payment for Work performed.
5. Documents. All documents, including any intellectual property rights thereto,
prepared and submitted to the Town pursuant to this Agreement shall be the property of the
Town.
6. Contractor Personnel. Contractor shall provide adequate, experienced personnel,
capable of and devoted to the successful performance of the Services under this Agreement.
Contractor agrees to assign specific individuals to key positions. Contractor agrees that, upon
commencement of the Services to be performed under this Agreement, key personnel shall not
be removed or replaced without prior written notice to the Town. If key personnel are not
available to perform the Services for a continuous period exceeding 30 calendar days, or are
expected to devote substantially less effort to the Services than initially anticipated, Contractor
shall immediately notify the Town of same and shall, subject to the concurrence of the Town,
replace such personnel with personnel possessing substantially equal ability and qualifications.
7. Inspection; Acceptance. All work shall be subject to inspection and acceptance
by the Town at reasonable times during Contractor’s performance. The Contractor shall provide
and maintain a self-inspection system that is acceptable to the Town.
8. Licenses; Materials. Contractor shall maintain in current status all federal, state
and local licenses and permits required for the operation of the business conducted by the
Contractor, without limitation, all of Contractor’s applicable licenses issued by the Arizona
Registrar of Contractors. The Town has no obligation to provide Contractor, its employees or
subcontractors any business registrations or licenses required to perform the specific services set
forth in this Agreement. The Town has no obligation to provide tools, equipment or material to
Contractor.
9. Work Standards, Warranties and Correction of Work. All materials and any other
items incorporated into the Work shall be new, and all Work shall be of good and workmanlike
quality and completed in strict conformance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and
the plans, specifications, schedules, Contract Documents and all other terms and conditions of
the Contract.
9.1 Express Warranties. Within fourteen (14) days of the completion of the
Work (or at such earlier time as requested by Town), Contractor shall execute and deliver to
Town all warranties regarding the Work required by the Project plans and specifications. These
warranties shall be in form and content satisfactory to Town, and any other person reasonably
requested by Town, or Town’s lender(s).
9.2 Standard Warranty. In the absence of any requirement for warranties in
the Project specifications, Contractor hereby warrants that the Work shall be free of any defects
in quality or workmanship for a period of two (2) years after the date of completion and
acceptance of the Project by Town.
B-7
9.3 Correction of Work. The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected
by the Project Engineer, Project Manager, or Town as failing to conform to the requirements of
the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting such rejected Work. In
addition to the Contractor’s other obligations including warranties under the Contract, the
Contractor shall, for a period of (two) 2 years after Substantial Completion, correct work not
conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents. If the Contractor fails to correct
nonconforming Work within a reasonable time, Town may correct it and the Contractor shall
reimburse Town for the cost of correction.
10. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Town and each council member, officer, employee or agent
thereof (the Town and any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever
(“Claims”) to the extent that such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by the
negligent acts, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Contractor’s work or services in the
performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’

and will have all remedies that are available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
the remedy of specific performance. If the nature of the defaulting party’s nonperformance is
such that it cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, then the defaulting party will have such
additional periods of time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances, provided the
defaulting party immediately (A) provides written notice to the non-defaulting party and (B)
commences to cure its nonperformance and thereafter diligently continues to completion the cure
of its nonperformance. In no event shall any such cure period exceed 90 days. In the event of

upon 30 days’ written notice to Contractor in the event that the Services are permanently

12.4 Conflict of Interest. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of ARIZ.
REV. STAT. § 38-511. The Town may cancel this Agreement without penalty or further
obligations by the Town or any of its departments or agencies if any person significantly

of this Agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity
or a consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
12.5 Gratuities. The Town may, by written notice to the Contractor, cancel this
Agreement if it is found by the Town that gratuities, in the form of economic opportunity, future
employment, entertainment, gifts or otherwise, were offered or given by the Contractor or any
agent or representative of the Contractor to any officer, agent or employee of the Town for the
purpose of securing this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is canceled by the Town

B-12
12.6 Agreement Subject to Appropriation. This Agreement is subject to the
provisions of ARIZ. CONST. ART. IX, § 5 and ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 42-17106. The provisions of
this Agreement for payment of funds by the Town shall be effective when funds are appropriated
for purposes of this Agreement and are actually available for payment. The Town shall be the
sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this Agreement and the
Town shall keep the Contractor fully informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement.
The obligation of the Town to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is a current
expense of the Town, payable exclusively from such annual appropriations, and is not a general

expenses, overhead, or profits in relation to any work not actually performed, or for any future or
anticipated profits, recovery, damages, expenses, or loses.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee
or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
the Services provided under this Agreement are being provided as an independent contractor, not
as an employee or agent of the Town. Contractor, its employees and subcontractors are not
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the
authority to supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors.
The Contractor, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the Services
provided under this Agreement so long as Contractor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope
of Work as set forth in Section 2 above. Contractor is neither prohibited from entering into other
contracts nor prohibited from practicing its profession elsewhere. Town and Contractor do not
intend to nor will they combine business operations under this Agreement.
13.2 Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Arizona and suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in
Maricopa County, Arizona.
13.3 Laws and Regulations. Contractor shall keep fully informed and shall at
all times during the performance of its duties under this Agreement ensure that it and any person
for whom the Contractor is responsible abides by, and remains in compliance with, all rules,
regulations, ordinances, statutes or laws affecting the Services, including, but not limited to, the
following: (A) existing and future Town and County ordinances and regulations; (B) existing and
B-13
future State and Federal laws; and (C) existing and future Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.
13.4 Amendments. This Agreement may be modified only by a written
amendment signed by persons duly authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the Town and
the Contractor.
13.5 Provisions Required by Law. Each and every provision of law and any
clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were
included herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not
correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
13.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which may remain in effect without
the invalid provision or application.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain
meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.
13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the
Town Manager. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Contractor in violation of this
provision shall be a breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.9 Subcontracts. No subcontract shall be entered into by the Contractor with
any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior
written approval of the Town. The Contractor is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Contractor from any
B-14
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings any action for any relief,
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorneys’
fees and reasonable costs and expenses, determined by the court sitting without a jury, which
shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be enforced
whether or not such action is prosecuted through judgment.
13.12 Liens. All materials or services shall be free of all liens and, if the Town
requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.
13.13 Offset.

equity, the Town may offset from any money due to the Contractor any amounts
Contractor owes to the Town for damages resulting from breach or deficiencies in
performance or breach of any obligation under this Agreement.

applicable. In addition, to the extent Town has adopted its own Town Specifications, and/or
Supplements and/or Modifications to the MAG Specifications or MAG Details (collectively the
“Town Specifications”), those Town Specifications shall apply to the Work when and where
appropriate and the Contractor shall fully comply therewith. Any questions or concerns about
the applicability of any specific MAG or Town Specifications to the Work shall be directed in

make such changes in the plans and specifications for the Work, within the general scope
B-3
thereof, as it may deem appropriate and any such change as set forth in a written Change Order
or Extra Work Order shall be deemed a part of this Contract as if originally incorporated herein.

unless a written Change Order or Extra Work Order, in form and content prescribed by

Change Orders and Extra Work Orders, Contractor shall specify the increased and/or
decreased costs and whether it believes any extensions of time will be necessary to
complete its Work as modified by the Change Order or Extra Work Order. In no event,
however, will the Contractor be entitled to collect for overhead and profit for such
changes more than the percentages of Contractor’s actual and direct cost incurred in such

Manager has no authority to bind Town or Town Council in contravention of any Town
Code, State, or Federal statute or regulation, or this Contract. Project communications
may be exchanged by e-mail upon the written agreement of the Project Manager and
Contractor, but e-mail communications are not binding upon Town and cannot change
the terms of the Contract or the scope of Work, or effectuate any change that requires a
written change order. The use of e-mails is for information only, and e-mails will have
no legal or binding effect.

4.4 Joint/Direct Checks. Payments to Contractor may be made by checks
payable jointly to Contractor and its employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers, or
any of them, and when in the sole opinion of Town it is advisable, payments may be
made directly to Contractor's subcontractors and any amount so paid shall be deducted
from the amounts owed to Contractor under this Contract.

materials, machinery, fixtures, tools, or equipment used in or in connection with the
performance of this Contract, and Contractor agrees to remove or to cause to be removed
any such liens or claims in the nature of a lien or bond claim within ten (10) days upon
receiving notice or obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of such liens or claims.

limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever

performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name,
to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of this
Agreement, the Town, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage sections of
this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
B-8
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Contractor shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Contractor. Contractor
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.

under this Agreement, Contractor will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
B-9
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Contractor’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the Town 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or
declarations received without the appropriate RFQ number and title or a reference to this
Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s)

and will have all remedies that are available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
the remedy of specific performance. If the nature of the defaulting party’s nonperformance is
such that it cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, then the defaulting party will have such

manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.

performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set

with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name,
to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of this
Agreement, the Town, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage sections of
this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
B-8
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Contractor shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Contractor. Contractor

under this Agreement, Contractor will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
B-9
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Contractor’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the Town 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or

provisions of ARIZ. CONST. ART. IX, § 5 and ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 42-17106. The provisions of
this Agreement for payment of funds by the Town shall be effective when funds are appropriated
for purposes of this Agreement and are actually available for payment. The Town shall be the
sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this Agreement and the
Town shall keep the Contractor fully informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement.
B-12
The obligation of the Town to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is a current
expense of the Town, payable exclusively from such annual appropriations, and is not a general
obligation or indebtedness of the Town. If the Town Council fails to appropriate money
sufficient to pay the amounts as set forth in this Agreement during any immediately succeeding
fiscal year, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of then-current fiscal year and the Town
and the Contractor shall be relieved of any subsequent obligation under this Agreement.
12.7 Upon any termination of the Contract, no further payments shall be due
from Town to Contractor unless and until Contractor has delivered to Town any and all
documentation required to be maintained by Contractor or provided by Contractor to Town.
12.8 Under no circumstances shall Town have any liability for any costs,
expenses, overhead, or profits in relation to any work not actually performed, or for any future or
anticipated profits, recovery, damages, expenses, or loses.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee
or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
the Services provided under this Agreement are being provided as an independent contractor, not
as an employee or agent of the Town. Contractor, its employees and subcontractors are not
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the
authority to supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors.
The Contractor, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the Services
provided under this Agreement so long as Contractor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope
of Work as set forth in Section 2 above. Contractor is neither prohibited from entering into other
contracts nor prohibited from practicing its profession elsewhere. Town and Contractor do not
intend to nor will they combine business operations under this Agreement.
13.2 Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Arizona and suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in
Maricopa County, Arizona.
13.3 Laws and Regulations. Contractor shall keep fully informed and shall at
all times during the performance of its duties under this Agreement ensure that it and any person
for whom the Contractor is responsible abides by, and remains in compliance with, all rules,
regulations, ordinances, statutes or laws affecting the Services, including, but not limited to, the
following: (A) existing and future Town and County ordinances and regulations; (B) existing and
future State and Federal laws; and (C) existing and future Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.
13.4 Amendments. This Agreement may be modified only by a written
amendment signed by persons duly authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the Town and
the Contractor.
B-13
13.5 Provisions Required by Law. Each and every provision of law and any
clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were
included herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not
correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
13.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which may remain in effect without
the invalid provision or application.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain
meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.
13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the
Town Manager. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Contractor in violation of this
provision shall be a breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.9 Subcontracts. No subcontract shall be entered into by the Contractor with
any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior
written approval of the Town. The Contractor is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Contractor from any
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings any action for any relief,
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorneys’
fees and reasonable costs and expenses, determined by the court sitting without a jury, which
B-14
shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be enforced
whether or not such action is prosecuted through judgment.
13.12 Liens. All materials or services shall be free of all liens and, if the Town
requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.
13.13 Offset.
A. Offset for Damages. In addition to all other remedies at law or
equity, the Town may offset from any money due to the Contractor any amounts
Contractor owes to the Town for damages resulting from breach or deficiencies in
performance or breach of any obligation under this Agreement.
B. Offset for Delinquent Fees or Taxes. The Town may offset from
any money due to the Contractor any amounts Contractor owes to the Town for
delinquent fees, transaction privilege taxes and property taxes, including any interest or
penalties.

its subcontractors’ employees who perform any work or services pursuant to this Agreement (all
of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as “Records”), shall be open to inspection and subject to
audit and/or reproduction during normal working hours by the Town, to the extent necessary to
adequately permit (A) evaluation and verification of any invoices, payments or claims based on
Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ actual costs (including direct and indirect costs and overhead
allocations) incurred, or units expended directly in the performance of work under this
Agreement and (B) evaluation of the Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ compliance with the

under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in such quantities and configurations as may
be agreed upon between the parties. All cooperative procurements under this Agreement shall be
transacted solely between the requesting Eligible Procurement Unit and Contractor. Payment for
such purchases will be the sole responsibility of the Eligible Procurement Unit. The exercise of

2. Job Order Master Contract Process.
2.1 This Contract establishes an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, Job
Order Contract for such Electrical Services within the scope of this Contract as Town may
request from time to time by issuance of an individual Job Order for each Project. A separate Job
Order will be issued for each Project describing the specific Work to be performed by the
Contractor for that Project.
2.2 Town shall have the right to perform work of the types included in this
Contract itself or to have other Contractors perform such work.
2.3 This Contract does not obligate or require Town to offer any Job Order to

been fully executed by Town and Contractor.
B-2
2.4 Scope of Work Under This Contract. The Contractor will provide all
labor, tools, management, materials, parts and supplies, equipment, and transportation necessary
to furnish a broad range of electrical services at various locations throughout the Town of
Fountain Hills on an as-needed basis. Electrical services will include complete troubleshooting
and repair of existing electrical systems, installation of new electrical components, general
maintenance, and may include responses to emergency calls outside of normal Town operating
hours.
2.5 Contract Price for Each Job Order. The amount to be paid by Town for
the Project under each Job Order is the Contract Price for the Job Order. The Contract Price
includes the Contract Price for the Work. The Contract Price for any Job Order may be a Fixed
Price or a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), subject to the following:
A. The cumulative sum of the Job Orders performed by Contractor
during any twelve (12) month period shall not exceed $125,000.00.
B. There is no limit on the number of Job Orders that the Town may
issue to Contractor during any twelve (12) month period of this Contract or during the
entire period this Contract is in effect.
C. Contractor may not refuse any Job Order under this Contract
properly issued by Town, unless Contractor explains, in writing and to Town’s
satisfaction, that the scope of work under a specific Job Order is poorly defined or
hazardous to health or safety.
3. Performance of the Work.
3.1 Specifications. The Maricopa Association of Governments, Uniform
Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, current edition (“MAG Specifications”),
Maricopa Association of Governments, Standard Details for Public Works Construction, current
edition (“MAG Details”), have been adopted by Town and shall apply to the Work, to the extent
applicable. In addition, to the extent Town has adopted its own Town Specifications, and/or
Supplements and/or Modifications to the MAG Specifications or MAG Details (collectively the
“Town Specifications”), those Town Specifications shall apply to the Work when and where
appropriate and the Contractor shall fully comply therewith. Any questions or concerns about
the applicability of any specific MAG or Town Specifications to the Work shall be directed in
writing to the Project Engineer. The MAG Specifications, MAG Details and Town
Specifications are incorporated into the Contract.
3.2 Coordination. Contractor shall also cooperate with Town in
communicating with, obtaining necessary approvals or permits from, and responding to, any
applicable government entity or regulatory agency, including participation in any hearings or
meetings.
3.3 Extra Work/Changes in the Work/Approvals. Town reserves the right to
make such changes in the plans and specifications for the Work, within the general scope
B-3
thereof, as it may deem appropriate and any such change as set forth in a written Change Order
or Extra Work Order shall be deemed a part of this Contract as if originally incorporated herein.
A. Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for additional work
unless a written Change Order or Extra Work Order, in form and content prescribed by
Town, has been executed by Town prior to starting the additional work; on all such
Change Orders and Extra Work Orders, Contractor shall specify the increased and/or
decreased costs and whether it believes any extensions of time will be necessary to
complete its Work as modified by the Change Order or Extra Work Order. In no event,
however, will the Contractor be entitled to collect for overhead and profit for such
changes more than the percentages of Contractor’s actual and direct cost incurred in such
change as set forth in the corresponding Change Order. If additional work is performed
on the basis of an Extra Work Order, a corresponding Change Order shall be prepared,
approved and processed by Town before payment can be made to Contractor.

approval all samples, product data, shop drawings on all materials, systems and
equipment to be incorporated into the Work.

communications concerning performance of the Work or the Project shall be provided to
the designated Project Manager, who has the authority to act on behalf of Town, as
delineated and limited by the Contract Documents and applicable law. The Project
Manager has no authority to bind Town or Town Council in contravention of any Town
Code, State or Federal statute or regulation, or this Contract. Project communications
may be exchanged by e-mail upon the written agreement of the Project Manager and
Contractor, but e-mail communications are not binding upon Town and cannot change
the terms of the Contract or the scope of Work, or effectuate any change that requires a
written change order. The use of e-mails is for information only, and e-mails will have
no legal or binding effect.
3.4 Time/Float. Contractor shall strictly comply with the Project schedule
approved in writing by Town (the “Contract Time”). The Contract Time shall start with the
Notice to Proceed and end with final acceptance of the Work. Contractor shall commence
performance of the Work and complete the Project through both substantial completion and final
acceptance within the Contract Time, and failure to do so shall be a material breach of the
Contract.
A. Time is of the essence of the Contract, for each Project, for the
Work, and for each phase and/or designated milestone thereof.
B. No modification to the Contract Documents or the Contract Time
shall be effective unless approved in writing, in advance, by Town.
C. The total float time within the overall schedule is for the exclusive
use of Town, but Town may approve Contractor’s use of float as needed to meet contract
milestones and the Project completion date.

4. Payments. Payments shall be made as follows:
4.1 Progress Payments.
A. Progress billings will be processed monthly starting upon Project
commencement.

invoice form.
C. A list of all suppliers (including name, contact information and

to release of Contractor’s monthly progress payment. Town’s approval of Contractor’s
suppliers shall not release Contractor from any of its obligations under this Contract,
including without limitation, Contractor’s indemnification, and insurance obligations.

Unconditional Waiver and Release on Progress Payment or Unconditional Waiver and
Release on final payment contemporaneously with the receipt of partial or final

required by Town, as well as unconditional lien waivers executed by subcontractors
and/or suppliers who have provided labor, materials, or rental equipment to Contractor.
Payments of any amounts covered by any conditional lien waivers may, at Town’s sole
discretion, be made by joint check issued to the Contractor and the subcontractor or
supplier.
E. Contractor shall submit all other supporting documentation
substantiating its Invoice as may be reasonably required by the Engineer, Project
Manager, Town, and applicable laws.
4.2 Final Payment. Final payment including retainage shall be paid only after:
(i) the Work has been fully completed (including completion of all incorrect or
incomplete work items) and accepted by Town; (ii) necessary operating manuals, any
excess materials and supplies necessary for matching materials and supplies incorporated
into the Work, and complete “as-built” drawings, plans and specifications have been
delivered to Town; (iii) if required by Town, full and unconditional lien waivers and
releases by Contractor and any person performing labor or supplying material,
machinery, fixtures, or tools for the Work have been delivered to Town; (iv) all

extent as may be necessary in Town’s opinion to protect Town from loss for which the

filing of such claims unless security acceptable to Town is provided by the Contractor;
C. failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to
Subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment;

unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
E. damage to Town or another contractor;

the Contract Time (or otherwise by Town), and that the unpaid balance would not be
adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or
G. persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
4.4 Joint/Direct Checks. Payments to Contractor may be made by checks
payable jointly to Contractor and its employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers, or
any of them, and when in the sole opinion of Town it is advisable, payments may be
made directly to Contractor's subcontractors and any amount so paid shall be deducted
from the amounts owed to Contractor under this Contract.
4.5 Payment Not A Waiver. No payment (nor use or occupancy of the Project
by Town) shall be deemed acceptance or approval of the Work or as a waiver of any
claims, rights, or remedies of Town.
4.6 Liens and Bond Claims. Contractor shall make all payments, in the time
required, of all labor and materials furnished to Contractor in the course of the Work and
shall promptly furnish evidence of such payments as Town may require. Contractor shall
pay when due all claims arising out of performance of the Work covered by this Contract
for which a lien may be filed either against the real estate or leasehold interest of Town,
or against payments due from Town to Contractor, or for which a claim may be made
against any payment or performance bond or both. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Contractor agrees that no liens or other claims in the nature of a lien against the real
estate, leasehold, or other interest of Town, against payment due from Town to
Contractor, or against any payment or performance bond, shall be filed or made in
connection with the Work by any party who has supplied professional services, labor,
materials, machinery, fixtures, tools, or equipment used in or in connection with the
performance of this Contract, and Contractor agrees to remove or to cause to be removed
any such liens or claims in the nature of a lien or bond claim within ten (10) days upon
receiving notice or obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of such liens or claims.
In addition, Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Town from and
against any and all such liens and claims. This paragraph does not apply to claims and
liens of Contractor due to non-payment for Work performed.

be removed or replaced without prior written notice to the Town. If key personnel are not
available to perform the Services for a continuous period exceeding 30 calendar days, or are
expected to devote substantially less effort to the Services than initially anticipated, Contractor
shall immediately notify the Town of same and shall, subject to the concurrence of the Town,
replace such personnel with personnel possessing substantially equal ability and qualifications.

by the Town at reasonable times during Contractor’s performance. The Contractor shall provide
and maintain a self-inspection system that is acceptable to the Town.

and local licenses and permits required for the operation of the business conducted by the
Contractor, without limitation, all of Contractor’s applicable licenses issued by the Arizona
Registrar of Contractors. The Town has no obligation to provide Contractor, its employees or

Contractor.
9. Work Standards, Warranties and Correction of Work. All materials and any other
items incorporated into the Work shall be new, and all Work shall be of good and workmanlike
quality and completed in strict conformance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and
the plans, specifications, schedules, Contract Documents and all other terms and conditions of
the Contract.
9.1 Express Warranties. Within fourteen (14) days of the completion of the
Work (or at such earlier time as requested by Town), Contractor shall execute and deliver to
Town all warranties regarding the Work required by the Project plans and specifications. These
warranties shall be in form and content satisfactory to Town, and any other person reasonably
requested by Town, or Town’s lender(s).

by the Project Engineer, Project Manager, or Town as failing to conform to the requirements of
the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting such rejected Work. In
addition to the Contractor’s other obligations including warranties under the Contract, the
B-7
Contractor shall, for a period of (two) 2 years after Substantial Completion, correct work not
conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents. If the Contractor fails to correct
nonconforming Work within a reasonable time, Town may correct it and the Contractor shall
reimburse Town for the cost of correction.
10. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Town and each council member, officer, employee or agent
thereof (the Town and any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever
(“Claims”) to the extent that such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by the
negligent acts, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Contractor’s work or services in the
performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name,
to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of this
Agreement, the Town, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage sections of
this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
B-8
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.

Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be

subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and

insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.

declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
B-9
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Contractor’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the Town 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or

and will have all remedies that are available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
the remedy of specific performance. If the nature of the defaulting party’s nonperformance is
such that it cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, then the defaulting party will have such
additional periods of time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances, provided the
defaulting party immediately (A) provides written notice to the non-defaulting party and (B)
commences to cure its nonperformance and thereafter diligently continues to completion the cure
of its nonperformance. In no event shall any such cure period exceed 90 days. In the event of

upon 30 days’ written notice to Contractor in the event that the Services are permanently

of this Agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity
or a consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
12.5 Gratuities. The Town may, by written notice to the Contractor, cancel this
Agreement if it is found by the Town that gratuities, in the form of economic opportunity, future

expenses, overhead, or profits in relation to any work not actually performed, or for any future or
anticipated profits, recovery, damages, expenses, or loses.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee
or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
the Services provided under this Agreement are being provided as an independent contractor, not
as an employee or agent of the Town. Contractor, its employees and subcontractors are not
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the
authority to supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors.
The Contractor, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the Services
provided under this Agreement so long as Contractor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope
of Work as set forth in Section 2 above. Contractor is neither prohibited from entering into other
contracts nor prohibited from practicing its profession elsewhere. Town and Contractor do not
intend to nor will they combine business operations under this Agreement.

the State of Arizona and suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in
Maricopa County, Arizona.

all times during the performance of its duties under this Agreement ensure that it and any person
for whom the Contractor is responsible abides by, and remains in compliance with, all rules,
regulations, ordinances, statutes or laws affecting the Services, including, but not limited to, the
following: (A) existing and future Town and County ordinances and regulations; (B) existing and
future State and Federal laws; and (C) existing and future Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.
13.4 Amendments. This Agreement may be modified only by a written
amendment signed by persons duly authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the Town and
the Contractor.
B-13
13.5 Provisions Required by Law. Each and every provision of law and any
clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were
included herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not
correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
13.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which may remain in effect without
the invalid provision or application.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain
meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.
13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the
Town Manager. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Contractor in violation of this
provision shall be a breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.9 Subcontracts. No subcontract shall be entered into by the Contractor with
any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior
written approval of the Town. The Contractor is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Contractor from any
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings any action for any relief,
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorneys’

requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.

RE: (2021-008) General Electrical Services JOC
Dear Selection Committee,
On behalf of K2 Electric (K2), thank you for the opportunity to present our qualifications for the Town of Fountain Hills General Electrical Services. As an electrical contractor who self-performs 90% of our revenue, our team is multifaceted in all aspects of electrical construction with extensive experience in jobs and contracts similar to a JOC. Our team brings project diversity for large projects and small service-based work which best suits your JOC program. We have years of experience and knowledge managing multiple jobs ranging in size and scope.
The K2 team, led by Matt Kuiper (Senior Project Manager) has over 16 years of experience leading teams and more than 40 successfully completed job order-type contract projects in his career. He will be the main point of contact for the Town of Fountain Hills from contract negotiation to the completion of each job order. Jared Kredit (Project Executive), Casey Kotzenmacher (Project Manager) and James Clark (Field Operations) will support Matt throughout the contract in each of their respective roles.
Our team is the best fit for this project for the key reasons listed below:
JOC Understanding/Experience: Our team has completed more than 100 alternative delivery method projects and understands the process and need for a job order contract delivery method. K2 excels in negotiated work, where we are selected based on our proven track record and have the ability to add to our 87% repeat client rate.
Proven Track Record: This is what we do best – long standing contracts and relationships with entities. Completing more than $156 million in contract revenue of electrical construction since 2003, our team has the experience and ability to successfully complete this Job Order Contract. In addition, self-performing general commercial building electrical, landscape lighting, standby generator installation, PV solar installation, SES installs and upgrades, R.V. pedestals, and low volt allows our team to complete the majority of scopes that may arise during the term of the contract.
Staffing and Resources: With more than 130 employees and twelve fully-equipped and stocked service vehicles, we have the crews available to start work on this contract immediately. The Town of Fountain Hills will benefit from our recent extensive work with very similar project requirements, all that have been done successfully by our proposed team.
K2 Electric has read and understood all the elements laid out in the Electrical Engineering Services Contract. K2 Electric upcharges for after hours and weekend work. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any additional questions regarding our response or the firm. Thank you in advance for your consideration and we look forward to the next step in the selection process.
Sincerely,

delineated and limited by the Contract Documents and applicable law. The Project
Manager has no authority to bind Town or Town Council in contravention of any Town
Code, State or Federal statute or regulation, or this Contract. Project communications
may be exchanged by e-mail upon the written agreement of the Project Manager and
Contractor, but e-mail communications are not binding upon Town and cannot change
the terms of the Contract or the scope of Work, or effectuate any change that requires a
written change order. The use of e-mails is for information only, and e-mails will have
no legal or binding effect.
3.5 Time/Float. Contractor shall strictly comply with the Project schedule
approved in writing by Town (the “Contract Time”). The Contract Time shall start with the
Notice to Proceed and end with final acceptance of the Work. Contractor shall commence
performance of the Work and complete the Project through both substantial completion and final
acceptance within the Contract Time, and failure to do so shall be a material breach of the
Contract.
A. Time is of the essence of the Contract, for each Project, for the
Work, and for each phase and/or designated milestone thereof.
B. No modification to the Contract Documents or the Contract Time
shall be effective unless approved in writing, in advance, by Town.

milestones and the Project completion date.

suppliers shall not release Contractor from any of its obligations under this Contract,
including without limitation, Contractor’s indemnification, and insurance obligations.
D. If required by Town, Contractor will be required to execute an
Unconditional Waiver and Release on Progress Payment or Unconditional Waiver and
Release on final payment contemporaneously with the receipt of partial or final
payments, or other form of acknowledgment of payment and/or release of claims as
required by Town, as well as unconditional lien waivers executed by subcontractors
and/or suppliers who have provided labor, materials, or rental equipment to Contractor.
Payments of any amounts covered by any conditional lien waivers may, at Town’s sole
discretion, be made by joint check issued to the Contractor and the subcontractor or
supplier.

substantiating its Invoice as may be reasonably required by the Engineer, Project

filing of such claims unless security acceptable to Town is provided by the Contractor;
C. failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to
Subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment;
D. reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
E. damage to Town or another contractor;

the Contract Time (or otherwise by Town), and that the unpaid balance would not be
adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or
G. persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
4.4 Joint/Direct Checks. Payments to Contractor may be made by checks
payable jointly to Contractor and its employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers, or
any of them, and when in the sole opinion of Town it is advisable, payments may be
made directly to Contractor's subcontractors and any amount so paid shall be deducted
from the amounts owed to Contractor under this Contract.
4.5 Payment Not A Waiver. No payment (nor use or occupancy of the Project
by Town) shall be deemed acceptance or approval of the Work or as a waiver of any
claims, rights, or remedies of Town.

law, Contractor agrees that no liens or other claims in the nature of a lien against the real
estate, leasehold, or other interest of Town, against payment due from Town to
Contractor, or against any payment or performance bond, shall be filed or made in
connection with the Work by any party who has supplied professional services, labor,
materials, machinery, fixtures, tools, or equipment used in or in connection with the
performance of this Contract, and Contractor agrees to remove or to cause to be removed
any such liens or claims in the nature of a lien or bond claim within ten (10) days upon
receiving notice or obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of such liens or claims.
In addition, Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Town from and
against any and all such liens and claims. This paragraph does not apply to claims and
liens of Contractor due to non-payment for Work performed.

capable of and devoted to the successful performance of the Services under this Agreement.

commencement of the Services to be performed under this Agreement, key personnel shall not
be removed or replaced without prior written notice to the Town. If key personnel are not
available to perform the Services for a continuous period exceeding 30 calendar days, or are
expected to devote substantially less effort to the Services than initially anticipated, Contractor
shall immediately notify the Town of same and shall, subject to the concurrence of the Town,
replace such personnel with personnel possessing substantially equal ability and qualifications.

the plans, specifications, schedules, Contract Documents and all other terms and conditions of
the Contract.
9.1 Express Warranties. Within fourteen (14) days of the completion of the
Work (or at such earlier time as requested by Town), Contractor shall execute and deliver to
Town all warranties regarding the Work required by the Project plans and specifications. These
warranties shall be in form and content satisfactory to Town, and any other person reasonably
requested by Town, or Town’s lender(s).
9.2 Standard Warranty. In the absence of any requirement for warranties in

limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever
(“Claims”) to the extent that such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by the
negligent acts, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the Contractor, its officers, employees,
agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Contractor’s work or services in the
performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set
forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Contractor, Contractor shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Contractor. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Contractor
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name,
to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of this
Agreement, the Town, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage sections of
this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
B-8
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Contractor’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Contractor. Contractor
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Contractor shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Contractor shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Contractor. Contractor
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.
J. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to commencing any work or services
under this Agreement, Contractor will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Contractor’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
B-9
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Contractor’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the Town 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or
declarations received without the appropriate RFQ number and title or a reference to this
Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s)
of the insurance policies submitted without referencing the appropriate RFQ number and
title or a reference to this Agreement, as applicable, will be subject to rejection and may
be returned or discarded. Certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) shall
specifically include the following provisions:

out of work or services performed by Contractor under this Agreement.

preferred. If ACORD certificate of insurance form 25 (2001/08) is used, the
phrases in the cancellation provision “endeavor to” and “but failure to mail such
notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its
agents or representatives” shall be deleted. Certificate forms other than ACORD

of such default, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement immediately for cause
and will have all remedies that are available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
the remedy of specific performance. If the nature of the defaulting party’s nonperformance is
such that it cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, then the defaulting party will have such
additional periods of time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances, provided the
defaulting party immediately (A) provides written notice to the non-defaulting party and (B)
commences to cure its nonperformance and thereafter diligently continues to completion the cure
of its nonperformance. In no event shall any such cure period exceed 90 days. In the event of

of this Agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity
or a consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.

pursuant to this provision, the Town shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and
remedies, to recover and withhold from the Contractor an amount equal to 150% of the gratuity.

sole judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this Agreement and the
Town shall keep the Contractor fully informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement.

anticipated profits, recovery, damages, expenses, or loses.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee
or agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
the Services provided under this Agreement are being provided as an independent contractor, not
as an employee or agent of the Town. Contractor, its employees and subcontractors are not
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the
authority to supervise or control the actual work of Contractor, its employees or subcontractors.
The Contractor, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the Services
provided under this Agreement so long as Contractor meets the requirements of its agreed Scope
of Work as set forth in Section 2 above. Contractor is neither prohibited from entering into other
contracts nor prohibited from practicing its profession elsewhere. Town and Contractor do not
intend to nor will they combine business operations under this Agreement.

following: (A) existing and future Town and County ordinances and regulations; (B) existing and
future State and Federal laws; and (C) existing and future Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.

clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were
included herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not
correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be
physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
13.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which may remain in effect without
the invalid provision or application.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain
meaning, and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.
13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Contractor without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the

any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior
written approval of the Town. The Contractor is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Contractor from any
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings any action for any relief,
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorneys’
fees and reasonable costs and expenses, determined by the court sitting without a jury, which

requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.

(SRP) while on-site. UCC crews traced fault to two (2) damaged sections; in total six (6) cables
needed to be repaired. Soft-dig excavation was utilized at the identified fault location; UCC
continued with hand excavation until a sufficient work pit was created that completely exposed
the damaged cables. UCC performed repairs which consisted of installation of a replacement
piece of cable (2-3 LF) plus two splices; a total of twelve splices were required. After repairs were
complete, UCC removed grounding cables to perform testing on the affected phases. When the

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 11/17/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Staff Contact Information: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF approving
Professional Services Agreement C2021-022 with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc., for the design of: (1)
Palisades Boulevard and Eagle Ridge/Palomino Drive traffic signal design, and (2) Fountain Hills
Boulevard and Palisades Boulevard intersection analysis.
Staff Summary (Background)
This is a request for Council consideration of two separate traffic engineering projects. The first project
consists of a traffic signal design for Palisades Boulevard and Eagle Ridge/Palomino Drive. The second
project is related to an evaluation and recommendation involving the intersection at Fountain Hills
Boulevard and Palisades Boulevard.
Traffic Signal Design at Palisades and Eagle Ridge/Palomino Drive
There are a number of traffic-related as well as physical and jurisdictional challenges at the
Palisades/Eagle Ridge/Palomino intersection. The Town signed this intersection as an All-Way Stop, due
to the line-of-sight issues, almost immediately after its opening in 1997. Since that time traffic counts
have continued to increase. With the Adero Canyon development and expansion of the CopperWynd
Resort on Eagle Ridge Drive, traffic signal warrants at the intersection are anticipated to be met based
on the CopperWynd Resort traffic study. Construction of a traffic signal at the intersection will provide
for a more efficient flow of traffic at this critical intersection.
The scope of work associated with this project includes a three phased approach.
Phase 1 consists of warrant study to evaluate and document the need for a signalized controlled
intersection based on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), Section 4.
Phase 2 consists of preparing preliminary design, cost estimates, and scoping document that will
define the project improvements necessary for a fully functional four-legged traffic signal.Town
staff anticipates other improvements being necessary for a fully functional and safe intersection.
Phase 2 will be instrumental in assisting with defining the project of improvements in more detail
and provide Town staff with a budget for programming and scheduling purposes.
Phase 3 consists of the final design of the improvements.
Fountain Hills Boulevard and Palisades Boulevard intersection analysis
Making improvements to this intersection has been a top priority of the Town Council for several years.
A traffic analysis will review signal timing/operations and changes necessary to improve operations. It
will also evaluate the left turn storage lengths and determine if improvements are necessary. Finally,
the traffic analysis will include an evaluation of crash data at the intersection to determine if crash
patterns are evident and develop mitigation measures. The evaluation, results and recommendations
will be documented in a technical report for review and consideration by the Mayor and Council.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle

Risk Analysis
The Adero Canyon development and expansion of the CopperWynd Resort on Eagle Ridge Drive
have necessitated the need for the construction of a traffic signal at the Palisades Eagle Ridge/Palomino
intersection to provide improvements to the flow of traffic.
In addition, a traffic analysis at the intersection of Fountain Hills Boulevard and Palisades Boulevard will
determine the appropriate signal timing/operations and improvements necessary to improve pedestrian
and traffic safety.

Mr. Justin Weldy
Public Works Director
Town of Fountain Hills
16705 E. Avenue of the Fountains
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
Re:Palisades Boulevard and Eagle Ridge/Palomino Drive
Intersection Traffic Signal Warrant, Scoping, and Final Design
Scope and Fee
Dear Mr. Weldy:
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (“Kimley-Horn” or “Consultant”) is pleased to submit this
letter agreement (the “Agreement”) to the Town of Fountain Hills (“Client” or “Town”) to provide
professional engineering services associated with the intersection of Palisades Boulevard and
Eagle Ridge/Palomino Drive.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on the information provided by Town Staff (including the data provided via email and
meeting held on 08/13/2020), we understand the following:
· Palisades Boulevard provides two vehicle lanes and bike lanes in each direction and is
separated by a raised landscaped median. Eagle Ridge Drive serves as the west leg of
the intersection and provides one vehicle lane and bike lanes in each direction and is
separated by a raised landscaped median. Palomino Boulevard serves as the east leg
of the intersection and provides one vehicle lane in each direction and a striped two-way
left turn lane. The intersection is currently controlled as a four-way stop.
· The Town would like to conduct a signal warrant analysis to determine if the intersection
warrants the installation of a traffic signal.
· As part of the traffic analysis, the Town would like to investigate the need for an
eastbound exclusive right turn lane at the intersection. If eastbound right turn lane is
warranted, there would be a need for right-of-way acquisition to install the
improvements. Other potential impacts include an existing residential driveway
(approximately 145 feet west of Palisades Boulevard) and utilities that exist behind
existing back of sidewalk.
· All approaches to the intersection have dedicated left turn lanes except for the
northbound approach. The traffic analysis will also investigate the storage length
requirements for an exclusive northbound left turn lane. In order to accommodate the
EXHIBIT A
Palisades Blvd & Eagle Ridge/Palomino Drive
September 1, 2020 / Page 2
kimley-horn.com 7740 N. 16th Street, Suite 300, Phoenix, AZ 85020 602 944 5500
installation of exclusive left turn lane, improvements to the intersection would be
necessary, including median, pavement, landscape restoration, and striping.
· Horizontal and vertical curvature exists on Palisades Boulevard. Sight distance will be
evaluated on Palisades Boulevard on both approaches to the intersection to determine
the extent of the visibility constraints and define the additional signal equipment and
advanced warning devices necessary to mitigate the potential visibility constraints.
· The west leg of the intersection (Eagle Ridge) falls within City of Scottsdale jurisdiction.
We understand that the west leg is maintained by the Community Homeowners
Association (HOA). Improvements on this leg would require coordination with the City of
Scottsdale and HOA to gain input on the proposed improvements and clarify funding,
operations and maintenance of the intersection.
· The Town is preparing a Town Master Transportation Plan. Kimley-Horn will coordinate
with the Town and their consultant to define the planned improvements for the
intersection as part of the transportation plan.
Considering the proposed improvements and jurisdictional boundaries, the Town has
recommended that the project be split into three phases defined as follows:
Phase 1 – Traffic Signal Warrant Study: This phase consists of the collection of traffic data
and conducting traffic analysis at the intersection to determine whether a traffic signal is
warranted, if an eastbound right turn lane is warranted, and the storage length requirements
for northbound left turn lane and eastbound right (if warranted).
Phase 2 – Scoping Document: This phase consists of developing a conceptual intersection
design (based on the results of the traffic signal warrant study conducted in Phase 1). The
work consists of geometric design for the eastbound right turn lane as well as an exclusive
northbound left turn lane and will define the right-of-way and utility improvements to achieve
the recommended improvements. This work will also consist of providing the Town with an
engineer’s opinion of probable cost (OPC) for the Town to use in planning and programming
the intersection improvements. Deliverables consist of a scoping letter with design concept
and associated OPC.
Phase 3 – Final Design: This phase consists of the development of construction plans,
estimate, and specifications to construct the improvements approved by the Town.
The pages that follow outline Kimley-Horn’s detail scope of services for each of the phases
described.

b. Phase 1 ESA:
The Phase I ESA scope of services described in this proposal addresses the due diligence
procedures and methodology presented in the ASTM E 1527-13. The purpose of the Phase I ESA
is to provide the following:
1. An identification of Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) as defined in ASTM E
1527-13
2. An opinion of the impacts on the property resulting from conditions identified during the
investigation, by a qualified Environmental Professional (EP) (ASTM E 1527-13)
3. An opinion, by a qualified EP, on the need for additional investigations (ASTM E 1527-13)
4. A statement consistent with ASTM E 1527-13, on the qualifications of the EP and the
suitability of the Phase I ESA to meet the requirements of The All Appropriate Inquiry Rule,
40 CFR 312.
The assessment will reflect the general national standard of practice and the local customary
practice as understood by the EP. The EP will use ASTM 1527-13 along with our judgment and
experience when reviewing results of the assessment and in identifying findings and RECs (ASTM
E 1527-13).
Kimley-Horn’s scope of services for conducting the Phase I ESA consists of the tasks set forth
below. The following tasks refer to only that information that is defined as reasonably ascertainable
(ASTM E 1527-13).
Records Review
This task consists of the following:
1.Record Search – An environmental database search will be prepared encompassing the
minimum search distances listed in ASTM E1527-13. This report will be reviewed for
known and suspect contaminated sites. Where available, local environmental agency,
and other local governmental authority files, as defined in ASTM E 1527-13 may be

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
AND
KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
THIS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as
of November 17, 2020, between the Town of Fountain Hills, an Arizona municipal corporation
(the “Town”) and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the
“Consultant”).
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Town’s Procurement Policy and Section 3-3-26 of
the Town Code, the Town may directly select certain consultants for professional and technical
services.
B. The Consultant possesses the specific skill and experience required to provide the Town with
engineering design services related to (1) Traffic signal Design Concept Report for Palisades and
Palomino Blvd and (2) Intersection study for Palisades and Fountain Hills Blvd.
C. The Town desires to enter into an Agreement with the Consultant to perform the
Services, more particularly set forth in Section 2 below.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing introduction and recitals, which
are incorporated herein by reference, the following mutual covenants and conditions, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Town and the Consultant hereby agree as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first set forth
above and shall remain in full force and effect until November 16, 2021 (the “Initial Term”), unless
terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement. After the expiration of the Initial Term, this
Agreement may be renewed for up two successive one-year terms (the “Renewal Term”) if (i) it is
deemed in the best interests of the Town, subject to availability and appropriation of funds for
renewal, (ii) at least 30 days prior to the end of the then-current term of this Agreement, the
Contractor requests, in writing, to extend this Agreement for an additional one-year term and (iii)
the Town approves the additional one-year term in writing (including any price adjustments
approved as part of this Agreement), as evidenced by the Town Manager’s signature thereon,
which approval may be withheld by the Town for any reason. The Contractor’s failure to seek a
renewal of this Agreement shall cause this Agreement to terminate at the end of the then-current
term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Town may, at its discretion and with the
agreement of the Contractor, elect to waive this requirement and renew this Agreement. The Initial
Term and the Renewal Term are collectively referred to herein as the “Term.” Upon renewal, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
2. Scope of Work. Consultant shall provide the Services as set forth in the Scopes of
Work attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B incorporated herein by reference.
3. Compensation. The Town shall pay the Consultant for the Initial Term and for each subsequent
Renewal Term, if any, an annual aggregate amount not to exceed $175,082., of which $15,917.00
shall be an owners’ allowance, at the rates set forth attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B. for
the Services.
4. Payments. The Town shall pay the Consultant upon receipt of a monthly invoice
submitted to the Town for services provided by Consultant. All invoices shall summarize the
work completed in each month. Monthly reports may be attached as an addendum to the invoice
to provide the necessary detail for payment justification. This Agreement must be referenced on
all invoices.
5. Documents. The Town acknowledges that all consulting-related advice (written or
oral) given by the Consultant to the Town in connection with this agreement is intended solely for
the benefit of and use by the Town. The Town agrees to treat all consulting-related advice received
from the Consultant (written or oral) confidentially and agrees not publish, distribute, or disclose
in any manner any consulting-related advice developed or received without prior authorization
from the Consultant. The Consultant however shall be allowed to use the Town’s name positively
in publications, websites, etc. solely as part of the Consultant’s business promotion. All documents
not noted as proprietary by the Consultant, including any intellectual property rights thereto,
prepared and submitted to the Town pursuant to this Agreement shall be the property of the Town.
6. Consultant Personnel. Consultant shall provide adequate, experienced personnel,
capable of and devoted to the successful performance of the Services under this Agreement.
Consultant agrees to assign specific individuals to key positions. If deemed qualified, the
Consultant is encouraged to hire Town residents to fill vacant positions at all levels. The Consultant
may from time to time retain the services of additional experienced consultants, not as
subcontractors but through strategic alliance agreements, who are capable of and devoted to the
successful performance of the Services under this Agreement. Any additional consultants may be
retained only as necessary for specific purposes and expertise to assist the Consultant with the
successful performance of the Services under this agreement. Retention contracted through a
strategic alliance agreement is strictly between the Consultant and the contractor and does not
create additional financial burden upon the Town beyond the terms of this Agreement. The
Consultant shall notify the Town Manager within five (5) business days of any additional
contractor.
7. Inspection; Acceptance. All work shall be subject to inspection and acceptance by
the Town at reasonable times during Consultant’s performance. The Consultant shall provide and
maintain a self-inspection system that is acceptable to the Town.
8. Licenses; Materials. Consultant shall maintain in current status all federal, state and
local licenses and permits required for the operation of the business conducted by the Consultant.
The Town has no obligation to provide Consultant, its employees or subcontractors any business
registrations or licenses required to perform the specific services set forth in this Agreement. The
Town has no obligation to provide tools, equipment or material to Consultant.
9. Performance Warranty. Consultant warrants that the Services rendered will
conform to the requirements of this Agreement and with the care and skill ordinarily used by
members of the same profession practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in
the same locality.
10. Indemnification. Each party agrees to indemnify the other from all claims for
damages, liabilities, expenses, or judgments (including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’
fees, accounting fees, and expert witness fees) that may incur and that may arise from: (a) the
Consultant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) the Consultant’s breach of any of its
obligations or representations under this agreement; (c) the Consultant’s breach of its express
representation that it is an independent contractor; (d) the Client’s breach or alleged breach of, or
its failure or alleged failure to perform under, any agreement to which it is a party; or (e) the
Client’s breach of any of its obligations or representations under this agreement.
11. Insurance.
11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or liabilities
of Consultant, Consultant shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, hereinafter
stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do business in the
State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended, with an AM Best,
Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the Town. Failure to
maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this Agreement at the
Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Consultant. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Consultant from,
nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required insurance
at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage, except Workers’
Compensation insurance and Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name the
Town, to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising out of the performance of
this Agreement, as an Additional Insured as specified under the respective coverage
sections of this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Consultant’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the Town
as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force and
contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its officials, officers and employees for any claims arising
out of the work or services of Consultant. Consultant shall arrange to have such subrogation
waivers incorporated into each policy via formal written endorsement thereto.
H. Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies set
forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self- insured
retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be applicable with
respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Consultant shall be solely responsible for
any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Consultant shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Consultant. Consultant
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.
J. Evidence of Insurance. As requested, the Consultant will provide the
Town with suitable evidence of insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a
copy of the declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as required by this Agreement,
issued by Consultant’s insurance insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with
acceptable insurers as specified herein and provide the required coverages, conditions and
limits of coverage specified in this Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are
in full force and effect. Confidential information such as the policy premium may be
redacted from the declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such
redactions do not alter any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall
reasonably rely upon the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance
policies as evidence of coverage, but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter
in any way the insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the
policies required by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be
Consultant’s responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the
Town 30 days prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations
required by this Agreement shall be identified by referencing this Agreement. Certificates
of insurance and declaration page(s) shall specifically include the following provisions:
(1) The Town, its officers, directors, officials and employees are
Additional Insureds as follows:
(a) Commercial General Liability – Under Insurance
Services Office, Inc., (“ISO”) Form CG 20 10 03 97 or equivalent.

representatives” shall be deleted. Certificate forms other than ACORD form shall
have similar restrictive language deleted.

A. Vehicle Liability. As may be required by the Town.
B. Professional Liability. If this Agreement is the subject of any
professional services or work, or if the Consultant engages in any professional services or
work in any way related to performing the work under this Agreement, the Consultant shall
maintain Professional Liability insurance covering negligent errors and omissions arising
out of the Services performed by the Consultant, or anyone employed by the Consultant,
or anyone for whose negligent acts, mistakes, errors and omissions the Consultant is legally
liable, with an unimpaired liability insurance limit of $2,000,000 each claim and
$2,000,000 annual aggregate.

Town, however the Agreement may be terminated (a) by either party on provision of 60 days’

any provision of this Agreement by the other party if the other party’s material breach is not cured

12.3 Conflict of Interest. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of ARIZ.
REV. STAT. § 38-511. The Town may cancel this Agreement without penalty or further
obligations by the Town or any of its departments or agencies if any person significantly involved
in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating this Agreement on behalf of the Town or
any of its departments or agencies is, at any time while this Agreement or any extension of this
Agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity or a
Consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
12.4 Gratuities. The Town may, by written notice to the Consultant, cancel this
Agreement if it is found by the Town that gratuities, in the form of economic opportunity, future
employment, entertainment, gifts or otherwise, were offered or given by the Consultant or any
agent or representative of the Consultant to any officer, agent or employee of the Town for the
purpose of securing this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is canceled by the Town pursuant
to this provision, the Town shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies, to recover

provisions of ARIZ. CONST. ART. IX, § 5 and ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 42-17106. The provisions of this
Agreement for payment of funds by the Town shall be effective when funds are appropriated for
purposes of this Agreement and are actually available for payment. The Town shall be the sole
judge and authority in determining the availability of funds under this Agreement and the Town
shall keep the Consultant fully informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement. The
obligation of the Town to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is a current expense of
the Town, payable exclusively from such annual appropriations, and is not a general obligation or
indebtedness of the Town. If the Town Council fails to appropriate money sufficient to pay the
amounts as set forth in this Agreement during any immediately succeeding fiscal year, this
Agreement shall terminate at the end of then-current fiscal year and the Town and the Consultant
shall be relieved of any subsequent obligation under this Agreement.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Independent Contractor. It is clearly understood that each party will act in
its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of the
other. An employee or agent of one party shall not be deemed or construed to be the employee or
agent of the other for any purpose whatsoever. The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the
Services provided under this Agreement are being provided as an independent contractor, not as
an employee or agent of the Town. Consultant, its employees and subcontractors are not entitled
to workers’ compensation benefits from the Town. The Town does not have the authority to
supervise or control the actual work of Consultant, its employees or subcontractors. The
Consultant, and not the Town, shall determine the time of its performance of the services provided
under this Agreement so long as Consultant meets the requirements as agreed in Section 2 above
and in Exhibit A. Consultant is neither prohibited from entering into other contracts nor prohibited
from practicing its profession elsewhere. Town and Consultant do not intend to nor will they
combine business operations under this Agreement.
13.2 Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Arizona and suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in
Maricopa County, Arizona. The Consultant and the Town mutually agree to pursue mediation or
alternative dispute resolution as a means to resolving issues between them prior to seeking remedy
in the courts.
13.3 Laws and Regulations. Consultant shall keep fully informed and shall at all
times during the performance of its duties under this Agreement ensure that it and any person for
whom the Consultant is responsible abides by, and remains in compliance with, all rules,
regulations, ordinances, statutes or laws affecting the Services, including, but not limited to, the
following: (A) existing and future Town and County ordinances and regulations; (B) existing and
future State and Federal laws; and (C) existing and future Occupational Safety and Health
Administration standards.
13.4 Amendments. This Agreement may be modified only by a written
amendment signed by persons duly authorized to enter into contracts on behalf of the Town and
the Consultant.
13.5 Provisions Required by Law. Each and every provision of law and any
clause required by law to be in this Agreement will be read and enforced as though it were included
herein and, if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not correctly
inserted, then upon the application of either party, this Agreement will promptly be physically
amended to make such insertion or correction.
13.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable to the extent
that any provision or application held to be invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall not
affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which may remain in effect without
the invalid provision or application.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Interpretation; Parol Evidence. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to its plain meaning,
and no presumption shall be deemed to apply in favor of, or against the party drafting
this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that each has had the opportunity to seek
and utilize legal counsel in the drafting of, review of, and entry into this Agreement.
13.8 Assignment; Delegation. No right or interest in this Agreement shall be
assigned or delegated by Consultant without prior, written permission of the Town, signed by the
Town Manager. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Consultant in violation of this
provision shall be a breach of this Agreement by Consultant.
13.9 Subcontracts. No subcontract shall be entered into by the Consultant with
any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior notice
by the Consultant to the Town Manager. The Consultant is responsible for performance under this
Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Consultant.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the Town of any existing or future right and/or remedy
available by law in the event of any claim of default or breach of this Agreement. The failure of
the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or the
Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Consultant from any
responsibilities or obligations imposed by this Agreement or by law, and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any right of the Town to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement.
13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event either party brings any action for any relief,
declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Agreement or on account of any breach or default
hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party reasonable attorneys’
fees and reasonable costs and expenses, determined by the court sitting without a jury, which shall
be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be enforced whether or
not such action is prosecuted through judgment.

requests, a formal release of all liens shall be delivered to the Town.
13.13 Offset.

equity, the Town may offset from any money due to the Consultant any amounts Consultant
owes to the Town for damages resulting from breach or deficiencies in performance or
breach of any obligation under this Agreement.

money due to the Consultant any amounts Consultant owes to the Town for delinquent fees,
transaction privilege taxes and property taxes, including any interest or penalties.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF approving
the third amendment to Professional Services Agreement C2019-002 with Brown & Associates Certified
Inspection Services, INC, for civil plan review and inspection services.
Staff Summary (Background)
With the recent retirement of the Town Engineer, the Assistant Town Engineer will be acting as the
interim Town Engineer. Since the current workload requires two employees, it will be necessary for
Public Works and Development Services to obtain short-term engineering assistance from a
temporary civil plans reviewer.
The primary function of a civil plan reviewer is to provide assistance to the engineering and building
safety departments to ensure that the Town’s roadways, drainage conveyance structures, dams,
washes, existing and proposed developments are designed to meet federal, state and/or local design
standards. The daily responsibilities also consist of providing traffic analysis for sight visibility issues to
enhance vehicle and pedestrian safety. The civil plan reviewer will provide backup to assess traffic data
for accident mitigation and make recommendations for safety enhancements. Other functions of a civil
plan reviewer consists of providing engineering assistance to the Development Services Department for
proposed developments by providing traffic, sidewalk, grading and drainage, fire and water
requirements. This process is accomplished through plan reviews and/or meetings with proposed
developers. This review process is an essential component of PADs, Development Agreements, Site
Plans, Final Plats, Lot Splits, Easement Abandonments, and General Town Plan review.
The Development Services Department has an ongoing contact with Brown and Associates for contract
inspection services. These services have been necessary to supplement Town staff in order to provide
inspection services in a timely manner. The current Senior Building Inspector position has been vacant
the last several months which has necessitated the need for contractual services from Brown and
Associates beyond what was originally anticipated for the current fiscal year. The individual performing
inspections for the Town will also able to fulfill the needs for engineering services and building safety as
needed.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
Risk Analysis
Failure to amend/renew the contract for civil plan review and Inspections could result in delayed issuing
of building permits and the start of construction on new or ongoing developments.

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 11/17/2020 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Staff Contact Information: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF directing
staff to proceed in undertaking the remaining projects in the Town Council-approved FY2020-21 Capital
Improvement Program.
Staff Summary (Background)
This staff report is intended to provide the Town Council with an update on the FY 2020-21 Capital
Improvement Projects identified as top priorities during the FY 2020-21 budget process. Staff will also
be seeking Council direction on the remaining capital projects that have been budgeted yet placed on
hold during the current fiscal year due to concerns about the pandemic.
D6057: Golden Eagle Impoundment Area Improvements - $500,000 (Project Total $1,000,000)
The Town Council identified this project as a priority for the last two years based on flooding that
occurred in Golden Eagle Park on October 2, 2018 and on September 23, 2019. The proposed project
includes a new topographic survey, design of utility relocations, and agency coordination (with ADWR
and FCDMC). The project is about 60% complete as of November 2, 2020. The hydrology and grading
concepts are substantially complete. Ongoing work still requiring to be completed are the construction
details and coordination with the utilities in the park, notably the Fountain Hills Sanitary District.
D6058: Panorama Storm drain pipe replacement - $2,210,410
The Panorama Drive Storm Drain was originally constructed in 1988 (pre-incorporation) by MCO
Properties, as a part of the Panorama Drive Paving Improvements Project. The storm drain is
approximately 3000' long, and is primarily 48" diameter pipe, with 66" diameter pipe at the downstream
two reaches. In January 2020, a 6' x 3' surface sinkhole (and later a 2nd sinkhole) was noted near this
pipe. Upon excavating at that location, staff discovered that the pipe invert (bottom) had been corroded
away and that there was a large hole above the pipe for about a 20' length.
Between the date of those surface failures, staff had Ames Companies perform a camera inspection of
the full length of the Panorama Drive storm drain, to determine the lengths and severity of the pipe
corrosion. That camera inspection showed numerous locations of missing pipe invert, corroded pipe
areas, and substantial areas of missing bituminous lining.Council awarded a contract to Blucor
Contracting on August 24, 2020. Due to long lead time on delivery of materials, the project is scheduled
to start on November 30, 2020, and be completed by January 13, 2021
to start on November 30, 2020, and be completed by January 13, 2021
P3038: Fountain Lake Liner Assessment -$139,648 (Project Total $5,000,000)
The current lake liner was installed in 2000. The life expectancy for this liner is 20 to 30 years. The
current condition or amount of deterioration of the liner was unknown and in an effort to be proactive
the Town contracted with Black & Veatch to conduct an assessment of the liner. A visual inspection via
divers was conducted and returned no evidence of leaking, tearing or other compromises in the integrity
of the lake liner. An additional evaporation test further confirms this finding. Pumps, valves and other
mechanical equipment are showing wear and will require some maintenance and repair efforts.
Although all electrical systems including transformers, switchgear and controllers exceed the
manufactures life expectancy, they do not pose immediate concern of failure.
P3042 Fountain Lighting Replacement - $150,000
The existing light fixtures are failing fixture by fixture. Only three of the six shoreline lights are currently
operable and only five of 12 fountain lights currently operate. The fixtures are subjected to a very harsh
environment including high water pressure and extreme salinity. A partial light fixture replacement is
currently underway with light installation to be completed by early December Project started July 1,
2020, Completed October 30, 2020.
S6051: Roundabout Improvements at Avenue of the Fountains and La Montana - $700,000
The Avenue of the Fountains/La Montana intersection has been a difficult intersection for vehicles to
traverse since the early 1990’s. The primary cause of the issue is the wide median on Avenue of the
Fountains which creates an extremely large intersection footprint. After CK Engineering was contracted
by the town to evaluate and develop possible design concepts to mitigate the traffic issues at the
intersection, the Town Council selected the roundabout alternative. On June 16, 2020, the Town Council
awarded a contract to Visus Engineering Construction Inc. and the project was significantly completed
on October 30, 2020. Additional mill and overlay improvements on La Montana and filling the seams
near the roundabout should be completed by November 9.
S6053: Fountain Hills Shoulder Paving - $700,000 (Project Total $2,273,781)
The Fountain Hills Shoulder Widening Project has been a high priority capital improvement project for
several years. The primary purpose of the project was to prevent erosion damage to the roadway from
stormwater. Since the Town was utilizing Congestion Management Air Quality (CMAQ) federal funding,
most of the project costs were to be paid with federal funds, which requires ADOT to oversee and serve
as the project engineer and project manager. Shortly after phase one of the project began in the spring
of 2019, unforeseen shallow utility lines on the west side of Fountain Hills Boulevard precluded
completing the planned project as originally designed. ADOT issued a change order to the contractor for
the project change for the west curb and gutter, including the wider and thicker pavement structural
section, with the Town's concurrence. The contractor proceeded with the construction concept based
on the revised project plans. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, ADOT cancelled the contract which
resulted in only the west side of the project being completed.
On August 24, 2020, the Town Council awarded a contract to Visus Construction Engineering Inc.,
to construct the shoulder widening improvements on the east side of Fountain Hills Blvd. The project is
currently underway and scheduled for completion on December 26, 2020.
Request to Undertake Remaining FY 2020-21 Capital Projects
Last month Finance Director David Pock presented an update to the Town Council about sales tax
revenues and state shared revenues which indicated that the town appeared to be on track to meet its
budgeted revenues for FY 2020-21. Meeting this benchmark was a Council directive before staff was
authorized to undertake the deferred FY 2020-21 capital improvement projects.
Based on these financial projections, staff is requesting to undertake the balance of FY 2020-21 projects
as summarized in TABLE A below:
TABLE A
Miscellaneous Drainage Improvements D6074 $50,000
Pollina Brantley Drive Detention Basin D6059 $100,000

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION OF approving
Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement C2021-087 with Visus Engineering Construction,
Inc. for a change order relating to the roundabout at the intersection of La Montana and Avenue of the
Fountains, and the associated budget transfer.
Staff Summary (Background)
On June 16, 2020, the Town Council awarded a contract to Visus Engineering Construction to construct a
roundabout at the intersection of Avenue of the Fountains/La Montana. Shortly after construction was
underway, a potential pedestrian and vehicular safety issue was discovered with the dedicated right
turn lane. At the direction of staff, CK Group redesigned the eastbound approach to improve the
pedestrian and vehicular safety at the southbound lanes of La Montana. The firm also addressed
drainage issues that resulted from removing the dedicated right turn lane. The roundabout redesign,
safety and drainage issues have been resolved and construction of the project completed.
The net cost impact of the change order for the roundabout construction is $90,552.94. The original
not-to-exceed amount of the contract was $654,350, of which $85,350 was reserved as an owner’s
allowance. If this amendment for $90,000 is approved, the revised not-to-exceed amount of the
contract will be $744,350.
