Subject:Contract #23–448 with Garda CL West, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Department including services to cover transporting cash, currencies, and other valuables to
the designated depository, through January 31, 2012.
During Contract negotiations, as one of the conditions, the Contractor and the Purchasing
Services Manager, on behalf of the County has modified the standard indemnification
clause language. "To the extent" has been added in regards to the Contractor's liability for
negligence or willful misconduct, which is significant. The County would have to prove, in
court, the percentage of liability attributed to the Contractor. The Contractor and the
Purchasing Services Manager has also agreed to modify several General Conditions
paragraphs, such as: 1) The “Termination and Cancellation” paragraph 5, subparagraph a.
“Written Notice”, and subparagraph b., “Failure to Perform” with deletion the thirty-day
advance written notice, including subparagraph c. “ Cessation of Funding; 2) The
“Modification Notice Requirement” paragraph 20, “Notices” to include a ninety (90) day
written notice in the event of a loss after a loss is discovered and the County shall report to
Contractor within thirty (30) calendar days after giving written notice of claim of loss or
damage: and 3) The addition of two (2) new paragraphs e, “Unforeseen Warlike Events”
and f. the provision of Contractor to provide the Department site liability coverage up to
$100,000 per shipment at no charge.
This board order is to inform the Board of Supervisors that this service contract #23-448
requires the Board’s approval because of a deviation from the standard County
Indemnification Clause and the General Conditions.
