VOCATIONAL TRAINING AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following terms and conditions will govern all training and payments made
relating to this Agreement and executed training vouchers issued by the City.
Availability of Funds
If the City's job training grant funding is suspended, modified, or
terminated, in whole or in part, the funding for this Agreement is subject to
termination or unilateral modifications.
Termination of Agreement
Termination by City for Convenience.
City may, at any time, terminate the Agreement for City's
convenience and without cause.
Upon receipt of written notice from City of such
termination for City's convenience, Contractor will:
cease operations as directed by City in the notice;
take actions necessary, or that City may direct, for
the protection and preservation of the work; and
except for work directed to be performed prior to
the effective date of termination stated in the
notice, terminate all existing subcontracts and
purchase orders and enter into no further
subcontracts and purchase orders.
In case of such termination for City's convenience,
contractor will be entitled to receive payment for work
executed; and costs incurred by reason of such termination,
along with reasonable overhead and profit on the work not
executed.
Termination for Cause.
If either party fails to perform any term, covenant or
condition in this Agreement and that failure continues for
15 calendar days after the non-defaulting party gives the
defaulting party written notice of the failure to perform,
this Agreement may be terminated for cause; provided,
however, that if during the notice period the defaulting
party has promptly commenced and continues diligent efforts
to remedy the default, the defaulting party will have such
additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy the
default.
<PAGE>
In the event this Agreement is terminated for cause by the
default of the Contractor, the City may, at the expense of the
Contractor and its surety, complete this Agreement or cause it
to be completed. Any check or bond delivered to the City in
connection with this Agreement, and the money payable thereon,
will be forfeited to and remain the property of the City. All
moneys due the Contractor under the terms of this Agreement
will be returned by the City, but the retention will not
release the Contractor and its surety from liability for the
default. Under these circumstances, however, the Contractor
and its surety will be credited with the amount of money
retained, toward any amount by which the cost of completion
exceeds the Agreement Sum and any amount authorized for extra
services.
Termination for cause will not affect or terminate any of the
rights of the City as against the Contractor or its surety
then existing, or which may thereafter accrue because of the
default; this provision is in addition to all other rights and
remedies available to the City under law.
Exclusive Agreement
This is the entire Agreement between Contractor and City.
Attorney Fees
If any legal action is necessary to enforce this Agreement, the
prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorney fees, costs, and
expenses in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
Financial Assistance
Contractor will assist all students to obtain and make maximum use of
financial aid funding and will promptly notify City, in
writing, of the amount and disposition of such funds as
required by Public Law 105-220.
Expenses payable with Pell Grant funds will not be allowable
expenditures under this Agreement.
No Pell funding may be duplicated by the City's job training grant
funds.
The Contractor will mandate all students eligible for financial
aid to make maximum use of available funding. The Contractor will
report and make available to the City, the State, and the
Department of Labor and their agents all records relating to
students under this Agreement showing Pell applications and Pell
grant fund receipt and distribution.
If a student is enrolled into training while Pell eligibility is
pending, but is subsequently awarded Pell funding, the Contractor
must reimburse to the City the amount of City funds used to
underwrite the training.
<PAGE>
Equal Opportunity
The Contractor assures, with respect to operation of the City's grant
funded programs or activities and all Agreements or arrangements to carry out
the programs or activities, that it will comply fully with the nondiscrimination
and equal opportunity provisions of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA);
the Balanced Budget of 1997 authorizing Welfare-to-Work activities; the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996; the
Nontraditional Employment for Women Act of 1991; title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended; section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as
amended; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended; title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972, as amended; and with all applicable requirements
imposed by or pursuant to regulations implementing those laws, including but not
limited to 29 CFR part 34. The United States has the right to seek judicial
enforcement of this assurance.
Force Majeure
If any party fails to perform its obligations because of strikes,
lockouts, labor disputes, embargoes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or
materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental
restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental control, judicial orders,
enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty,
or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform,
then that party's performance shall be excused for a period equal to the period
of such cause for failure to perform.
Indemnification
Contractor will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City, the City
Council, each member thereof, present and future, its officers, agents and
employees from and against any and all liability, expenses, including defense
costs and legal fees, and claims for damages whatsoever, including, but not
limited to, those arising from breach of contract, bodily injury, death,
personal injury, property damage, loss of use, or property loss however the same
may be caused and regardless of the responsibility for negligence. The
obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless includes, but is not limited
to, any liability or expense, including defense costs and legal fees, arising
from the negligent acts or omissions, or willful misconduct of Contractor, its
officers, employees, agents, subcontractors or contractors. It is further
agreed, Contractor's obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless will
apply even in the event of concurrent negligence on the part of City, the City
Council, each member thereof, present and future, or its officers, agents and
employees, except for liability resulting solely from the negligence or willful
misconduct of City, its officers, employees or agents. Payment by City is not a
condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity. In the event of any
dispute between Contractor and City, as to whether liability arises from the
sole negligence of the City or its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors
or vendors, Contractor will be obligated to pay for City's defense until such
time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the City as solely
negligent. Contractor will not be entitled in the event of such a determination
to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorneys'
fees, expert fees, and costs of litigation.
<PAGE>
Non Liability of City Officers and Employees
No officer or employee of City will be personally liable to Contractor,
in case of any default or breach by the City or for any amount that may become
due to Contractor.

Contractor must maintain at its sole expense the following insurance,
which will be full coverage not subject to self-insurance

under the automobile and general liability policies.

to the City Clerk of the City of Torrance before the
commencement of work.
Each insurance policy required by this Paragraph must contain a
provision that no termination, cancellation, or change of
coverage can be made without thirty days notice to City.
Sufficiency of Insurers and Sureties
Insurance or bonds required by this Agreement will be satisfactory only
if issued by companies admitted to do business in California, rated "B+" or
better in the most recent edition of Best's Key Rating Guide, and only if they
are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless these requirements are
waived by the Risk Manager of City ("Risk Manager") due to
<PAGE>
unique circumstances. In the event the Risk Manager determines that the work
or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or
decreased risk of loss to City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits
of any insurance policies or performance bonds required by this Agreement may
be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager;
provided that Contractor will have the right to appeal a determination of
increased coverage by the Risk Manager to the City Council of City within 10
days of receipt of notice from the Risk Manager.
