This provision shall include but not be Iimited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment, advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, selection for training, and the provision of services under this Agreement. ENGINEER agrees to comply with the applicable provisions of State and Federal Equal Employment Opportunity and Nondiscrimination statutes and regulations. In the event of the ENGINEER's or ENGINEER's subcontractor's noncompliance with the non-discrimination clause of this Agreement or with any such rules, regulations, or orders, this Agreement may be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the ENGINEER may be declared ineligible for any future City contracts. 16.2 Pay transparency nondiscrimination. The ENGINEER will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant, However, employees who have access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information, unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or (c) consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information. 16.3 RCW 35.22.650: ENGINEER agrees that the ENGINEER shall actively solicit the employment of minority group members. ENGINEER further agrees that the ENGINEER shall actively solicit bids for the subcontracting of goods or services from qualified minority businesses. ENGINEER shall furnish evidence of the ENGINEER'S compliance with these requirements of minority employment and solicitation. ENGINEER further agrees to consider the grant of subcontracts to said minority bidders on the basis of substantially equal proposals in the light most favorable to said minority businesses. 16.4 Nothing in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 16, shall require ENGINEER or any of its subcontractor(s) to take action that would be deemed discrimination or preferential treatment in violation of RCW 49.60.400. Pursuant to RCW 49.60.400(6), this Section does not prohibit action that must be taken to establish or maintain the CITY'S eligibility for any federal program, if ineligibility would result in a loss of federal funds to the CITY. SECTION 17 SUSPENSION OF WORK 17.1 CITY may suspend, in writing by certified mail, all or a portion of the WORK under this Agreement if unforeseen circumstances beyond CITY's control are interfering with normal progress of the WORK. ENGINEER may suspend, in writing by certified mail, all or a portion of the WORK under this Agreement if unforeseen circumstances beyond ENGINEER's control are interfering with normal progress of the WORK. ENGINEER may suspend WORK on the PROJECT in the event CITY does not pay invoices when due, except where otherwise provided by this Agreement. The time for completion of the WORK shall be extended by the number of days WORK is suspended.

In such event, CITY shall consider the amount of WORK originally required which was satisfactorily completed to date of termination, whether that WORK is in a form or of a type which is usable and suitable to CITY at the date of termination and the cost to CITY of completing the WORK itself or of employing another firm to complete it. Under no circumstances shall payments made under this provision exceed the contract price. In the event of default, the ENGINEER agrees to pay CITY for any and all damages, costs, and expenses whether directly, indirectly. or consequentially caused by said default. This provision shall not preclude CITY from filing claims and/or commencing litigation to secure compensation for damages incurred beyond that covered by contract retainage or other withheld payments. 18.4 If the ENGINEER terminates for default on the part of CITY or if CITY terminates for convenience, the adjustment pursuant to the Agreement shall include payment for services satisfactorily performed to the date of termination, in addition to termination settlement costs the ENGINEER reasonably incurs relating to commitments which had become firm before the termination, unless CITY determines to assume said commitments. 18.5 Upon receipt of a termination notice under subsections 18.1 or 18.2 above, the ENGINEER shall (1) promptly discontinue all services affected (unless the notice directs otherwise), and (2) deliver or otherwise make available to CITY all originals of data, drawings, specifications, calculations, reports, estimates, summaries, and such other information, documents, and materials as the ENGINEER or its subconsultants may have accumulated or prepared in performing this Agreement, whether completed or in progress, with the ENGINEER retaining copies of the same. 18.6 Upon termination under any subparagraph above, CITY reserves the right to prosecute the WORK to completion utilizing other qualified firms or individuals; provided, the ENGINEER shall have no responsibility to prosecute further WORK thereon. 18.7 If, after termination for failure of the ENGINEER to fulfill contractual obligations, it is determined that the ENGINEER has not so failed, the termination shall be deemed to have been effected for the convenience of CITY. In such event, the adjustment pursuant to the Agreement shall be determined as set forth in subparagraph 18.4 of this Section. 18.8 If, because of death, unavailability or any other occurrence, it becomes impossible for any key personnel employed by the ENGINEER in PROJECT WORK or for any corporate officer of the ENGINEER to render his services to the PROJECT, the ENGINEER shall not be relieved of its obligations to complete performance under this Agreement without the concurrence and written approval of CITY. If CITY agrees to termination of this Agreement under this provision, payment shall be made as set forth in subparagraph 18.3 of this Section. SECTION 19 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 19.1 In the event that any dispute shall arise as to the interpretation or performance of this Agreement, or in the event of a notice of default as to whether such default does constitute a breach of the contract, and if the parties hereto cannot mutually settle such differences, then the parties shall first pursue mediation as a means to resolve the dispute.

Dated: Sea[ or Stamp . (Signature) Printed Name Mycommission expires: EXHIBITA EXHIBIT A Scope of Work City of Yakima Thickener System Repairs and Improvement June 2026 Background RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) has been selected to design and administer bidding for a project to improve the waste activated sludge (WAS) thickening system located in the Solids Handling Building of the City of Yakima's (City) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). RH2 prepared the 2022 WWTP Facility Master Plan (Plan), which recommended improvements to the WAS thickening system. The Plan recommended refurbishing the existing dissolved air floatation thickening (DAFT) system to improve its reliability as identified in project SH03 in the Plan. The Plan also recommended replacing the centrifuge in the Solids Handling Building with a dedicated mechanical thickener in project SH04. The centrifuge was primarily intended for dewatering, although it has been infrequently used for thickening as a backup to the DAFT system. A new mechanical thickener would provide purposeful redundancy to the DAFT system for thickening WAS at the WWTP. Alternative approaches to increase the reliability and redundancy of the WAS thickening system will be analyzed as discussed in Task 3 of this Scope of Work. As part of this work, ancillary equipment such as the polymer system, pumps, and electrical and control equipment will be evaluated for replacement. The items in project 5H05, which recommended replacement of the secondary scum and thickened WAS pumps, are also assumed to be included in this project. The Plan also recommended improvements to the yard pump station (YPS) in project AS01. The YPS is near the Solids Handling Building and new pumps at the YPS may be most efficiently served by electrical and control from new equipment installed as part of the thickener improvements to the Solids Handling Building. General Assumptions The following assumptions were made when preparing this Scope of Work: • RH2 will rely upon the accuracy and completeness of information, data, and ma generated or produced by the City or others in relation to this Scope of Work. inform° assumed to be provided by or with written authorization from the owner of the information..
