2) Replace/Rewire the following items (all items to be kept for spares by the City of Prior Lake)
Main controller
Backup controller (installed with new software same as Centex)
UPS

Option 2 includes all labor, travel, and documentation (both drives are to be kept for spares by the City of Prior Lake)
1) Replace/rewire the VFD
Our cost for option 1 is: $7989.00/each station
Our cost for option 2 (valid only at the time of the control system install) is: $2751.00/each station
Please note this quote does not include:
1) installation (other than included above)
2) permits
3)necessary sales or use taxes if any applicable.
4)any equipment or parts located remotely to these cabinets unless specifically stated as part of this proposal
5)any equipment, parts, software, or necessary changes which are due to changes to the requirements as stated above.
The time frame for this quote would be 2-8 weeks after receipt of order and based on weather conditions, incoming order
scheduling and receipt of go ahead from Prior Lake.
Even though I would love to sell you more vfd’s, I feel it is more cost effective for you to just update one stations vfd’s as then
you would have two spares for the other station, but just let me know what you wish to do.
Should you have any questions on the quote please feel free to call me at any time at the office 612 861-3451 or on my cell at

Standard Construction Contract
This Contract (“Contract”) is made this 4th day of October, 2021, between the City of Prior Lake,
Minnesota (hereinafter "City"), whose business address is 4646 Dakota Street SE, Prior Lake,
MN 55372, and Electric Pump (hereinafter "Contractor") whose business address is 201 4th Ave
SW, New Prague, MN 56071.
Preliminary Statement
The City has adopted a policy regarding the selection and hiring of contractors to provide a variety
of services for City projects. That policy requires that persons, firms or corporations providing
such services enter into written agreements with the City. The purpose of this Contract is to set
forth the terms and conditions for the provision of work by the Contractor as described in Exhibit
A, hereinafter referred to as the "Work”:
The City and Contractor agree as follows:
1. Scope of Work/Proposal. The Contractor agrees to provide, perform and complete all the
provisions of the Work in accordance with attached Exhibit A. The terms of this Contract shall
take precedence over any provisions of the Contractor’s proposal and/or general conditions.
2. Time of Commencement and Completion. The Work to be performed under this Contract
shall be commenced immediately after execution of this Contract. The Work shall be
completed by December 31, 2021.
3. Compensation for Services. City agrees to pay the Contractor a total fixed sum of
$73,511.80 ($36,846.40 for Breezy Point and $36,665.40 for Flint) as full and complete
payment for the labor, materials and services rendered pursuant to this Contract and as
described in Exhibit A.
a. Any changes in the scope of the work which may result in an increase to the
compensation due the Contractor shall require prior written approval by an authorized
representative of the City or by the City Council. The City will not pay additional
compensation for services that do not have prior written authorization.
b. If Contractor is delayed in performance due to any cause beyond its reasonable
control, including but not limited to strikes, riots, fires, acts of God, governmental
actions, actions of a third party, or actions or inactions of City, the time for performance
shall be extended by a period of time lost by reason of the delay. Contractor will be
entitled to payment for its reasonable additional charges, if any, due to the delay.
4. Method of Payment. The Contractor shall submit to the City, an itemized invoice for services
performed under this Contract. Invoices submitted shall be paid in the same manner as other
claims made to the City.
a. Invoices. Contractor shall verify all statements submitted for payment in compliance
with Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.38 and 471.391. For reimbursable expenses, if
provided for in Exhibit A, the Contractor shall provide an itemized listing and such
documentation as reasonably required by the City. Each invoice shall contain the
City’s project number and a progress summary showing the original (or amended)
amount of the contract, current billing, past payments and unexpended balance of the
Page 2 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
contract. Each invoice shall be accompanied by general lien waiver and further lien
waivers from all subcontractors on the project waiving liens for work for which payment
was requested by Contractor and paid for by City on the preceding invoice.
b. Claims. To receive any payment on this Contract, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471.38, the
invoice or bill must include the following signed and dated statement: “I declare under
penalty of perjury that this account, claim, or demand is just and correct and that no
part of it has been paid.”
c. Final Payment. Contractor’s request for final payment shall be accompanied by
Contractor’s affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which the City or its property might in any
way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied. Final payment, constituting
the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, shall be paid by the City to the
Contractor when the Work has been completed, the Contract fully performed, and the
City accepts the Work in writing. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a
waiver of all claims by the Contractor except those previously made in writing and
identified by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of Application for Final Payment.
d. Income Tax Withholding. No final payment shall be made to the Contractor until the
Contractor has provided satisfactory evidence to the City that the Contractor and each
of its subcontracts has complied with the provisions of Minn. Stat. Section 290.92
relating to withholding of income taxes upon wages. A certificate by the Commissioner
of Revenue shall satisfy this requirement.
5. Standard of Care. Contractor shall exercise the same degree of care, skill and diligence in
the performance of its services as is ordinarily exercised by members of the profession under
similar circumstances in Scott County, Minnesota. Contractor shall be liable to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, without limitation, for any injuries, loss, or damages
proximately caused by Contractor's breach of this standard of care. Contractor shall put forth
reasonable efforts to complete its duties in a timely manner. Contractor shall not be
responsible for delays caused by factors beyond its control or that could not be reasonably
foreseen at the time of execution of this Contract. Contractor shall be responsible for costs,
delays or damages arising from unreasonable delays in the performance of its duties.
6. Project Manager. The Contractor has designated Adam Thoreson to manage the Work.
He/she shall be assisted by other staff members as necessary to facilitate the completion of
the Work in accordance with the terms established herein. Contractor may not remove or
replace the designated manager without the approval of the City.
7. Condition and Inspection. All goods and other materials furnished under this Contract shall
be new and in current manufacture, unless otherwise specified, and all goods and work shall
be of good quality, free from faults and defects and in conformance with this Contract. All
goods and work not conforming to these requirements shall be considered defective. Goods
shall be subject to inspection and testing by the City. Defective goods or goods not in current
manufacture may be returned to the Contractor at the Contractor’s expense.
8. Correction of Work. The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the City as
defective or as failing to conform under this Contract whether observed before or after
completion of the Work and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor
shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work.
Page 3 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
9. Warranty. The Contractor expressly warrants and guarantees to the City that all Work
performed and all materials furnished shall be in accord with the Contract and shall be free
from defects in materials, workmanship, and operation which appear within a period of one
year, or within such longer period as may be prescribed by law or in the terms of the Contract,
from the date of City’s written acceptance of the Work. The City’s rights under the Contractor’s
warranty are not the City’s exclusive remedy. The City shall have all other remedies available
under this Contract, at law or in equity.
Should any defects develop in the materials, workmanship or operation of the system within
the specified period, upon notice from the City, the Contractor agrees, within ten (10) calendar
days after receiving written notice and without expense to the City, to repair, replace and in
general to perform all necessary corrective Work with regard to the defective or
nonconforming Work or materials to the satisfaction of the City. THE FOREGOING SHALL
NOT IN ANY MANNER LIMIT THE CITY’S REMEDY OR THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY
TO THOSE DEFECTS APPEARING WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. The Contractor
agrees to perform the Work in a manner and at a time so as to minimize any damages
sustained by the City and so as to not interfere with or in any way disrupt the operation of the
City or the public.
The corrective Work referred to above shall include without limitation, (a) the cost of removing
the defective or nonconforming Work and materials from the site, (b) the cost of correcting all
Work of other Contractors destroyed or damaged by defective or nonconforming Work and
materials including the cost of removal of such damaged Work and materials form the site,
and (c) the cost of correcting all damages to Work of other Contractors caused by the removal
of the defective or nonconforming Work or materials.
The Contractor shall post bonds to secure the warranties.
10. Private Property. The Contractor shall not enter upon private property for any purpose without
having previously obtained permission from the City. The Contractor shall be responsible for
the preservation of and shall use every precaution to prevent damage to all trees, shrubbery,
plants, lawns, fences, culverts, bridges, pavements, driveways, sidewalks, etc.; all water, sewer
and gas lines; all conduits; all overhead pole lines or appurtenances thereof; and all other public
or private property along or adjacent to the work.
11. Removal of Construction Equipment, Tools and Supplies. At the termination of this
Contract, before acceptance of the Work by the City, the Contractor shall remove all of
Contractor’s equipment, tools and supplies from the property of the City. Should the Contractor
fail to remove such equipment, tools and supplies, the City shall have the right to remove them
and deduct the cost of removal from any amount owed to Contractor.
12. Suspension of Work by City. The City may at any time suspend the Work, or any part thereof,
by giving ten (10) days' notice to the Contractor in writing. The work shall be resumed by the
Contractor within ten (10) days after the date fixed in the written notice from the City to the
Contractor to resume. If the City’s suspension of all or part of the Work causes additional
expenses not due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor, the City shall reimburse the
Contractor for the additional expense incurred due to suspension of the work. Claims for such
compensation, with complete substantiating records, shall be filed with the City within ten (10)
days after the date of order to resume Work in order to receive consideration. This paragraph
shall not be construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement
Page 4 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
weather, failure to furnish additional surety or sureties specified herein, for suspension made at
the request of the Contractor, or for any other delay provided for in this Contract.
13. City’s Right to Carry Out the Work. If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the
Work in accordance with the Contract or fails to perform any provisions of the Contract, the
City may, after ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor and without prejudice to any other
remedy the City may have, make good such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change
Order shall be issued deducting from the payment then or thereafter due the Contractor the
cost of correcting such deficiencies. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are
not sufficient to cover such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City.
14. City’s Right to Terminate Contract and Complete the Work. The City has the right to
terminate this Contract for any of the following reasons:
a. The Contractor is adjudged bankrupt, makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or becomes insolvent;
b. Failure of Contractor to supply adequate properly skilled workmen or proper materials;
c. Failure of Contractor to make prompt payment to subcontractor for material or labor;
d. Any disregard of laws, ordinances or proper instructions of the City;
e. Assignment or work without permission of the City;
f. Abandonment of the work by Contractor;
g. Failure to meet the work progress schedule set forth in this Contract;
h. Unnecessary delay which, in the judgment of the City, will result in the work not being
completed in the prescribed time.
Termination of the Contract shall be preceded by ten (10) days written notice by the City to the
Contractor and its surety stating the grounds for termination and the measures, if any, which
must be taken to assure compliance with the Contract. The Contract shall be terminated at the
expiration of such ten (10) day period unless the City Council shall withdraw its notice of
termination.
Upon termination of the Contract by the City, the City may, without prejudice to any other
remedy the City may have, take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools,
construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish the
Work by whatever methods the City may deem expedient at the Contractor’s expense.
Upon Contract termination, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment
until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price exceeds the expense of
finishing the Work, including compensation for additional managerial and administrative
services, the excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense exceeds the unpaid
balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City.
In the event that the Contractor abandons the Work, fails or refuses to complete the Work or
fails to pay just claims for labor or material, the City reserves the right to charge against the
Contractor all legal, engineering, or other costs resulting from such abandonment, failure or
refusal. Legal costs will include the City's cost of prosecuting or defending any suit in connection
with such abandonment, failure or refusal, and non-payment of claims wherein the City is made
co-defendant, and the Contractor agrees to pay all costs, including reasonable attorney's fees.
15. Contractor’s Right to Terminate Contract. The Contractor may terminate this Contract upon
ten (10) days written notice to the City for any of the following reasons:
Page 5 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
a. If an order of any court or other public authority caused the Work to be stopped or
suspended for a period of 90 days through no act or fault of the Contractor or its
employees.
b. If the City should fail to pay any undisputed sum owed Contractor within forty-five (45)
days after the sum becomes due.
16. Subcontractor. The Contractor shall bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor shall
agree to be bound by the terms of this Contract as far as applicable to its work, unless
specifically noted to the contrary in a subcontract approved in writing as adequate by the City.
The Contractor shall pay any subcontractor involved in the performance of this Contract within
the ten (10) days of the Contractor's receipt of payment by the City for undisputed services
provided by the subcontractor. If the Contractor fails within that time to pay the subcontractor
any undisputed amount for which the Contractor has received payment by the City, the
Contractor shall pay interest to the subcontractor on the unpaid amount at the rate of 1.5
percent per month or any part of a month. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment
for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the
Contractor shall pay the actual interest penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who
prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from the Contractor shall be awarded its
costs and disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.
17. Independent Contractor. Contractor is an independent contractor engaged by City to
perform the services described herein and as such (i) shall employ such persons as it shall
deem necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Contract, who shall be employees, and under the direction, of Contractor and in no respect
employees of City, and (ii) shall have no authority to employ persons, or make purchases of
equipment on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No statement herein shall be
construed so as to find the Contractor an employee of the City.

Page 7 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
i. All polices, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, shall insure the defense and
indemnity obligations assumed by Contractor under this Contract.
j. Contractor agrees to maintain all coverage required herein throughout the term of the
Contract and for a minimum of two (2) years following City’s written acceptance of the
Work.
k. It shall be Contractor’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the
coverages required herein.
l. All policies shall contain a provision or endorsement that coverages afforded
thereunder shall not be cancelled or non-renewed or restrictive modifications added,
without thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the City, except that if the cancellation or non-
renewal is due to non-payment, the coverages may not be terminated or non-renewed
without ten (10) days’ prior notice to the City.
m. Contractor shall maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under this
Paragraph at Contractor’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do
business in the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less
than A-, unless specifically accepted by City in writing.
n. A copy of the Contractor’s Certificate of Insurance which evidences the
compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of
Contractor’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Contractor’s insurance declaration
page, Rider and/or Endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents
evidencing Insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide
satisfactory evidence that Contractor has complied with all insurance requirements.
Renewal certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of the
required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate of
Insurance, declaration page, Rider, Endorsement or certificates or other evidence of
insurance, or to advise Contractor of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt
thereof shall not relieve Contractor from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to
enforce the terms of Contractor’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to
examine any policy provided for under this paragraph.
o. Effect of Contractor’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Contractor fails to provide
the specified insurance, then Contractor will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
City, the City's officials, agents and employees from any loss, claim, liability and expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the extent necessary
to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified insurance.
Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict
liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless
of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim
which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the
negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of
Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Contractor agrees that
this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Contractor also
agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the
indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that
Page 8 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation
have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Contractor
to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from
Contractor's insurance company.
Contractor will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving
notice from the City.
20. Indemnification. Contractor will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs
and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred or
for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Contract by Contractor, its agents,
contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken
or not performed or taken by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, relative to
this Contract. City will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from and against any loss for
injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or
employees.
21. Ownership of Documents. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and information generated
in connection with the performance of the Contract (“Information”) shall become the property
of the City, but Contractor may retain copies of such documents as records of the services
provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the Contractor also may use
the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the purposes of the project
contemplated by this Contract does not relieve any liability on the part of the Contractor, but
any use of the Information by the City or the Contractor beyond the scope of this Contract is
without liability to the other, and the party using the Information agrees to defend and
indemnify the other from any claims or liability resulting therefrom.
22. Non-Discrimination. During the performance of this Contract, the Contractor shall not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, creed,
religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability,
sexual orientation or age. The Contractor shall post in places available to employees and
applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provision of this non-discrimination clause
and stating that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment. The
Contractor shall incorporate the foregoing requirements of this paragraph in all of its
subcontracts for program work, and will require all of its subcontractors for such work to
incorporate such requirements in all subcontracts for program work. The Contractor further
agrees to comply with all aspects of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes
363.01, et. seq., Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990.
23. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this agreement shall
be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or legal or equitable
actions by either party. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation shall be in
accordance with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration
Association then currently in effect. A request for mediation shall be filed in writing with the
Page 9 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
American Arbitration Association and the other party. No arbitration or legal or equitable
action may be instituted for a period of 90 days from the filing of the request for mediation
unless a longer period of time is provided by agreement of the parties. Cost of mediation shall
be shared equally between the parties. Mediation shall be held in the City of Prior Lake unless
another location is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties shall memorialize any
agreement resulting from the mediation in a mediated settlement agreement, which
agreement shall be enforceable as a settlement in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
24. Audit Disclosure and Data Practices. Any reports, information, data, etc. given to, or
prepared or assembled by the Contractor under this Contract which the City requests to be
kept confidential, shall not be made available to any individual or organization without the
City's prior written approval. The books, records, documents and accounting procedures and
practices of the Contractor or other parties relevant to this Contract are subject to examination
by the City and either the Legislative Auditor or the State Auditor for a period of six (6) years
after the effective date of this Contract. This Contract is subject to the Minnesota Government
Data Practice Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13 (Data Practices Act). All government data,
as defined in the Data Practices Act Section 13.02, Subd 7, which is created, collected,
received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by Contractor in performing any of the
functions of the City during performance of this Contract is subject to the requirements of the
Data Practice Act and Contractor shall comply with those requirements as if it were a
government entity. All subcontracts entered into by Contractor in relation to this Contract shall
contain similar Data Practices Act compliance language.
25. Rights and Remedies. The duties and obligations imposed by this Contract and the rights
and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties,
obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.
26. Assignment. Neither party shall assign this Contract, nor any interest arising herein, without
the written consent of the other party.
27. Damages. In the event of a breach of the Contract by City, the Contractor shall not be entitled
to recover punitive, special or consequential damages or damages for loss of business.
28. Enforcement. The Contractor shall reimburse the City for all costs and expenses, including
without limitation, attorneys' fees paid or incurred by the City in connection with the
enforcement by the City during the term of this Contract or thereafter of any of the rights or
remedies of the City under this Contract.
29. Severability. The provisions of this Contract are severable. If any portion hereof is, for any
reason, held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such decision shall not
affect the remaining provisions of this Contract.
30. Entire Agreement. The entire agreement of the parties is contained herein. This Contract
supersedes all oral agreements and negotiations between the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof as well as any previous agreements presently in effect between the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof. Any alterations, amendments, deletions, or waivers of
the provisions of this Contract shall be valid only when expressed in writing and duly signed
by the parties, unless otherwise provided herein.
31. Waiver. No action nor failure to act by the City or the Contractor shall constitute a waiver
of any right or duty afforded any of them under the Contract, nor shall any such action or
Page 10 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - Electric Pump.docx
failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach thereunder, except as
may be specifically agreed in writing.
32. Governing Law. This Contract shall be controlled by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
33. Conflicts. No salaried officer or employee of the City and no member of the Council of the
City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Contract. The violation of this
provision renders the Contract void.
34. Counterparts. This Contract may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall
be considered an original.
35. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. In providing services hereunder, the Contractor
shall abide by statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations pertaining to the provisions of Work
to be provided. Any violation of statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations pertaining to the
Work to be provided shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and entitle the City
to immediately terminate this Agreement.
36. Responsible Contractor
Contractor warrants under oath that Contractor is in compliance with the minimum criteria
required of a “responsible contractor” as that term is defined in Minnesota Statutes §
16C.285, subd. 3. Contractor has provided to City a list of all of its first-tier subcontractors
and motor carriers that it intends to retain for work on the project. The Contractor has
obtained from all subcontractors and motor carriers with which it will have a direct
contractual relationship a signed statement under oath by an owner or officer verifying that
the subcontractor or motor carrier meets all of the minimum criteria in § 16C.285, subd. 3. If
Contractor retains additional subcontractors or motor carriers on the project after submitting
its verification of compliance, the Contractor shall obtain verification of compliance from
each additional subcontractor and motor carrier with which it has a direct contractual
relationship and shall submit to the City a supplemental verification confirming the
subcontractor’s and motor carrier’s compliance with subdivision 3, clause (7), within 14 days
of retaining the additional subcontractors or motor carriers. Contractor shall submit to the
City upon request copies of the signed verifications of compliance from all subcontractors
and motor carriers of any tier pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 16C.285, subd. 3(7). A false
statement under oath, by Contractor, subcontractor, or motor carrier, verifying compliance
with any of the minimum criteria may result in termination of the Contract.

Preliminary Statement
The City has adopted a policy regarding the selection and hiring of contractors to provide a variety
of services for City projects. That policy requires that persons, firms or corporations providing
such services enter into written agreements with the City. The purpose of this Contract is to set
forth the terms and conditions for the provision of work by the Contractor as described in Exhibit
A, hereinafter referred to as the "Work”:
The City and Contractor agree as follows:
1. Scope of Work/Proposal. The Contractor agrees to provide, perform and complete all the
provisions of the Work in accordance with attached Exhibit A (SyCom quote PL210825A dated
August 25, 2021). The terms of this Contract shall take precedence over any provisions of
the Contractor’s proposal and/or general conditions.
2. Time of Commencement and Completion. The Work to be performed under this Contract
shall be commenced immediately after execution of this Contract. The control panel shall be
delivered to the work site by December 31, 2021.
3. Compensation for Services. City agrees to pay the Contractor a total fixed sum of $18,729
as full and complete payment for the labor, materials and services rendered pursuant to this
Contract and as described in Exhibit A.
a. Any changes in the scope of the work which may result in an increase to the
compensation due the Contractor shall require prior written approval by an authorized
representative of the City or by the City Council. The City will not pay additional
compensation for services that do not have prior written authorization.
b. If Contractor is delayed in performance due to any cause beyond its reasonable
control, including but not limited to strikes, riots, fires, acts of God, governmental
actions, actions of a third party, or actions or inactions of City, the time for performance
shall be extended by a period of time lost by reason of the delay. Contractor will be
entitled to payment for its reasonable additional charges, if any, due to the delay.
4. Method of Payment. The Contractor shall submit to the City, an itemized invoice for services
performed under this Contract. Invoices submitted shall be paid in the same manner as other
claims made to the City.
a. Invoices. Contractor shall verify all statements submitted for payment in compliance
with Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.38 and 471.391. For reimbursable expenses, if
provided for in Exhibit A, the Contractor shall provide an itemized listing and such
documentation as reasonably required by the City. Each invoice shall contain the
City’s project number and a progress summary showing the original (or amended)
amount of the contract, current billing, past payments and unexpended balance of the
Page 2 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - SyCom.docx
contract. Each invoice shall be accompanied by general lien waiver and further lien
waivers from all subcontractors on the project waiving liens for work for which payment
was requested by Contractor and paid for by City on the preceding invoice.
b. Claims. To receive any payment on this Contract, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471.38, the
invoice or bill must include the following signed and dated statement: “I declare under
penalty of perjury that this account, claim, or demand is just and correct and that no
part of it has been paid.”
c. Final Payment. Contractor’s request for final payment shall be accompanied by
Contractor’s affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which the City or its property might in any
way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied. Final payment, constituting
the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, shall be paid by the City to the
Contractor when the Work has been completed, the Contract fully performed, and the
City accepts the Work in writing. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a
waiver of all claims by the Contractor except those previously made in writing and
identified by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of Application for Final Payment.
d. Income Tax Withholding. No final payment shall be made to the Contractor until the
Contractor has provided satisfactory evidence to the City that the Contractor and each
of its subcontracts has complied with the provisions of Minn. Stat. Section 290.92
relating to withholding of income taxes upon wages. A certificate by the Commissioner
of Revenue shall satisfy this requirement.
5. Standard of Care. Contractor shall exercise the same degree of care, skill and diligence in
the performance of its services as is ordinarily exercised by members of the profession under
similar circumstances in Scott County, Minnesota. Contractor shall be liable to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, without limitation, for any injuries, loss, or damages
proximately caused by Contractor's breach of this standard of care. Contractor shall put forth
reasonable efforts to complete its duties in a timely manner. Contractor shall not be
responsible for delays caused by factors beyond its control or that could not be reasonably
foreseen at the time of execution of this Contract. Contractor shall be responsible for costs,
delays or damages arising from unreasonable delays in the performance of its duties.
6. Project Manager. The Contractor has designated Tim Kamrath to manage the Work. He/she
shall be assisted by other staff members as necessary to facilitate the completion of the Work
in accordance with the terms established herein. Contractor may not remove or replace the
designated manager without the approval of the City.
7. Condition and Inspection. All goods and other materials furnished under this Contract shall
be new and in current manufacture, unless otherwise specified, and all goods and work shall
be of good quality, free from faults and defects and in conformance with this Contract. All
goods and work not conforming to these requirements shall be considered defective. Goods
shall be subject to inspection and testing by the City. Defective goods or goods not in current
manufacture may be returned to the Contractor at the Contractor’s expense.
8. Correction of Work. The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the City as
defective or as failing to conform under this Contract whether observed before or after
completion of the Work and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor
shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work.
Page 3 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - SyCom.docx
9. Warranty. The Contractor expressly warrants and guarantees to the City that all Work
performed and all materials furnished shall be in accord with the Contract and shall be free
from defects in materials, workmanship, and operation which appear within a period of one
year, or within such longer period as may be prescribed by law or in the terms of the Contract,
from the date of City’s written acceptance of the Work. The City’s rights under the Contractor’s
warranty are not the City’s exclusive remedy. The City shall have all other remedies available
under this Contract, at law or in equity.
Should any defects develop in the materials, workmanship or operation of the system within
the specified period, upon notice from the City, the Contractor agrees, within ten (10) calendar
days after receiving written notice and without expense to the City, to repair, replace and in
general to perform all necessary corrective Work with regard to the defective or
nonconforming Work or materials to the satisfaction of the City. THE FOREGOING SHALL
NOT IN ANY MANNER LIMIT THE CITY’S REMEDY OR THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY
TO THOSE DEFECTS APPEARING WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. The Contractor
agrees to perform the Work in a manner and at a time so as to minimize any damages
sustained by the City and so as to not interfere with or in any way disrupt the operation of the
City or the public.
The corrective Work referred to above shall include without limitation, (a) the cost of removing
the defective or nonconforming Work and materials from the site, (b) the cost of correcting all
Work of other Contractors destroyed or damaged by defective or nonconforming Work and
materials including the cost of removal of such damaged Work and materials form the site,
and (c) the cost of correcting all damages to Work of other Contractors caused by the removal
of the defective or nonconforming Work or materials.
The Contractor shall post bonds to secure the warranties.
10. Private Property. The Contractor shall not enter upon private property for any purpose without
having previously obtained permission from the City. The Contractor shall be responsible for
the preservation of, and shall use every precaution to prevent damage to all trees, shrubbery,
plants, lawns, fences, culverts, bridges, pavements, driveways, sidewalks, etc.; all water, sewer
and gas lines; all conduits; all overhead pole lines or appurtenances thereof; and all other public
or private property along or adjacent to the work.
11. Removal of Construction Equipment, Tools and Supplies. At the termination of this
Contract, before acceptance of the Work by the City, the Contractor shall remove all of
Contractor’s equipment, tools and supplies from the property of the City. Should the Contractor
fail to remove such equipment, tools and supplies, the City shall have the right to remove them
and deduct the cost of removal from any amount owed to Contractor.
12. Suspension of Work by City. The City may at any time suspend the Work, or any part thereof,
by giving ten (10) days' notice to the Contractor in writing. The work shall be resumed by the
Contractor within ten (10) days after the date fixed in the written notice from the City to the
Contractor to resume. If the City’s suspension of all or part of the Work causes additional
expenses not due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor, the City shall reimburse the
Contractor for the additional expense incurred due to suspension of the work. Claims for such
compensation, with complete substantiating records, shall be filed with the City within ten (10)
days after the date of order to resume Work in order to receive consideration. This paragraph
shall not be construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement
Page 4 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - SyCom.docx
weather, failure to furnish additional surety or sureties specified herein, for suspension made at
the request of the Contractor, or for any other delay provided for in this Contract.
13. City’s Right to Carry Out the Work. If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the
Work in accordance with the Contract or fails to perform any provisions of the Contract, the
City may, after ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor and without prejudice to any other
remedy the City may have, make good such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change
Order shall be issued deducting from the payment then or thereafter due the Contractor the
cost of correcting such deficiencies. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are
not sufficient to cover such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City.
14. City’s Right to Terminate Contract and Complete the Work. The City has the right to
terminate this Contract for any of the following reasons:
a. The Contractor is adjudged bankrupt, makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or becomes insolvent;
b. Failure of Contractor to supply adequate properly skilled workmen or proper materials;
c. Failure of Contractor to make prompt payment to subcontractor for material or labor;
d. Any disregard of laws, ordinances or proper instructions of the City;
e. Assignment or work without permission of the City;
f. Abandonment of the work by Contractor;
g. Failure to meet the work progress schedule set forth in this Contract;
h. Unnecessary delay which, in the judgment of the City, will result in the work not being
completed in the prescribed time.
Termination of the Contract shall be preceded by ten (10) days written notice by the City to the
Contractor and its surety stating the grounds for termination and the measures, if any, which
must be taken to assure compliance with the Contract. The Contract shall be terminated at the
expiration of such ten (10) day period unless the City Council shall withdraw its notice of
termination.
Upon termination of the Contract by the City, the City may, without prejudice to any other
remedy the City may have, take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools,
construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish the
Work by whatever methods the City may deem expedient at the Contractor’s expense.
Upon Contract termination, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment
until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price exceeds the expense of
finishing the Work, including compensation for additional managerial and administrative
services, the excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense exceeds the unpaid
balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City.
In the event that the Contractor abandons the Work, fails or refuses to complete the Work or
fails to pay just claims for labor or material, the City reserves the right to charge against the
Contractor all legal, engineering, or other costs resulting from such abandonment, failure or
refusal. Legal costs will include the City's cost of prosecuting or defending any suit in connection
with such abandonment, failure or refusal, and non-payment of claims wherein the City is made
co-defendant, and the Contractor agrees to pay all costs, including reasonable attorney's fees.
15. Contractor’s Right to Terminate Contract. The Contractor may terminate this Contract upon
ten (10) days written notice to the City for any of the following reasons:

employees.

days after the sum becomes due.

specifically noted to the contrary in a subcontract approved in writing as adequate by the City.
The Contractor shall pay any subcontractor involved in the performance of this Contract within
the ten (10) days of the Contractor's receipt of payment by the City for undisputed services
provided by the subcontractor. If the Contractor fails within that time to pay the subcontractor
any undisputed amount for which the Contractor has received payment by the City, the
Contractor shall pay interest to the subcontractor on the unpaid amount at the rate of 1.5
percent per month or any part of a month. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment
for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the
Contractor shall pay the actual interest penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who
prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from the Contractor shall be awarded its
costs and disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred in bringing the action.

perform the services described herein and as such (i) shall employ such persons as it shall
deem necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this
Contract, who shall be employees, and under the direction, of Contractor and in no respect
employees of City, and (ii) shall have no authority to employ persons, or make purchases of
equipment on behalf of City, or otherwise bind or obligate City. No statement herein shall be

compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of
Contractor’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Contractor’s insurance declaration
page, Rider and/or Endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents
evidencing Insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide
satisfactory evidence that Contractor has complied with all insurance requirements.
Renewal certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of the
required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate of
Insurance, declaration page, Rider, Endorsement or certificates or other evidence of
insurance, or to advise Contractor of any deficiencies in such documents and receipt
thereof shall not relieve Contractor from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s right to
enforce the terms of Contractor’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the right to
examine any policy provided for under this paragraph.
o. Effect of Contractor’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Contractor fails to provide
the specified insurance, then Contractor will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
City, the City's officials, agents and employees from any loss, claim, liability and expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the extent necessary
to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified insurance.
Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict
liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless
of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim
which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the
negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of
Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Contractor agrees that
this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Contractor also
agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the
indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that
Page 8 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - SyCom.docx
applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation
have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Contractor
to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from
Contractor's insurance company.
Contractor will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving
notice from the City.
20. Indemnification. Contractor will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs
and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred or
for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Contract by Contractor, its agents,
contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken
or not performed or taken by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, relative to
this Contract. City will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from and against any loss for
injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or
employees.
21. Ownership of Documents. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and information generated
in connection with the performance of the Contract (“Information”) shall become the property
of the City, but Contractor may retain copies of such documents as records of the services
provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the Contractor also may use
the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the purposes of the project
contemplated by this Contract does not relieve any liability on the part of the Contractor, but
any use of the Information by the City or the Contractor beyond the scope of this Contract is
without liability to the other, and the party using the Information agrees to defend and
indemnify the other from any claims or liability resulting therefrom.
22. Non-Discrimination. During the performance of this Contract, the Contractor shall not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, creed,
religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability,
sexual orientation or age. The Contractor shall post in places available to employees and
applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provision of this non-discrimination clause
and stating that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment. The
Contractor shall incorporate the foregoing requirements of this paragraph in all of its
subcontracts for program work, and will require all of its subcontractors for such work to
incorporate such requirements in all subcontracts for program work. The Contractor further
agrees to comply with all aspects of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes
363.01, et. seq., Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990.
23. Mediation. Each dispute, claim or controversy arising from or related to this agreement shall
be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or legal or equitable
actions by either party. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation shall be in
accordance with the Commercial Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration
Association then currently in effect. A request for mediation shall be filed in writing with the
Page 9 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - SyCom.docx
American Arbitration Association and the other party. No arbitration or legal or equitable
action may be instituted for a period of 90 days from the filing of the request for mediation
unless a longer period of time is provided by agreement of the parties. Cost of mediation shall
be shared equally between the parties. Mediation shall be held in the City of Prior Lake unless
another location is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties shall memorialize any
agreement resulting from the mediation in a mediated settlement agreement, which
agreement shall be enforceable as a settlement in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
24. Audit Disclosure and Data Practices. Any reports, information, data, etc. given to, or
prepared or assembled by the Contractor under this Contract which the City requests to be
kept confidential, shall not be made available to any individual or organization without the
City's prior written approval. The books, records, documents and accounting procedures and
practices of the Contractor or other parties relevant to this Contract are subject to examination
by the City and either the Legislative Auditor or the State Auditor for a period of six (6) years
after the effective date of this Contract. This Contract is subject to the Minnesota Government
Data Practice Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13 (Data Practices Act). All government data,
as defined in the Data Practices Act Section 13.02, Subd 7, which is created, collected,
received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by Contractor in performing any of the
functions of the City during performance of this Contract is subject to the requirements of the
Data Practice Act and Contractor shall comply with those requirements as if it were a
government entity. All subcontracts entered into by Contractor in relation to this Contract shall
contain similar Data Practices Act compliance language.
25. Rights and Remedies. The duties and obligations imposed by this Contract and the rights
and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties,
obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.
26. Assignment. Neither party shall assign this Contract, nor any interest arising herein, without
the written consent of the other party.
27. Damages. In the event of a breach of the Contract by City, the Contractor shall not be entitled
to recover punitive, special or consequential damages or damages for loss of business.
28. Enforcement. The Contractor shall reimburse the City for all costs and expenses, including
without limitation, attorneys' fees paid or incurred by the City in connection with the
enforcement by the City during the term of this Contract or thereafter of any of the rights or
remedies of the City under this Contract.
29. Severability. The provisions of this Contract are severable. If any portion hereof is, for any
reason, held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such decision shall not
affect the remaining provisions of this Contract.
30. Entire Agreement. The entire agreement of the parties is contained herein. This Contract
supersedes all oral agreements and negotiations between the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof as well as any previous agreements presently in effect between the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof. Any alterations, amendments, deletions, or waivers of
the provisions of this Contract shall be valid only when expressed in writing and duly signed
by the parties, unless otherwise provided herein.
31. Waiver. No action nor failure to act by the City or the Contractor shall constitute a waiver
of any right or duty afforded any of them under the Contract, nor shall any such action or
Page 10 of 11 S:\Sanitary\lift stations\2021 LS Rehab\STANDARD CONTRACT - SyCom.docx
failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach thereunder, except as
may be specifically agreed in writing.
32. Governing Law. This Contract shall be controlled by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
33. Conflicts. No salaried officer or employee of the City and no member of the Council of the
City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Contract. The violation of this
provision renders the Contract void.
34. Counterparts. This Contract may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall
be considered an original.
35. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. In providing services hereunder, the Contractor
shall abide by statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations pertaining to the provisions of Work
to be provided. Any violation of statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations pertaining to the
Work to be provided shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and entitle the City
to immediately terminate this Agreement.
36. Responsible Contractor
Contractor warrants under oath that Contractor is in compliance with the minimum criteria
required of a “responsible contractor” as that term is defined in Minnesota Statutes §
16C.285, subd. 3. Contractor has provided to City a list of all of its first-tier subcontractors
and motor carriers that it intends to retain for work on the project. The Contractor has
obtained from all subcontractors and motor carriers with which it will have a direct
contractual relationship a signed statement under oath by an owner or officer verifying that
the subcontractor or motor carrier meets all of the minimum criteria in § 16C.285, subd. 3. If
Contractor retains additional subcontractors or motor carriers on the project after submitting
its verification of compliance, the Contractor shall obtain verification of compliance from
each additional subcontractor and motor carrier with which it has a direct contractual
relationship and shall submit to the City a supplemental verification confirming the
subcontractor’s and motor carrier’s compliance with subdivision 3, clause (7), within 14 days
of retaining the additional subcontractors or motor carriers. Contractor shall submit to the
City upon request copies of the signed verifications of compliance from all subcontractors
and motor carriers of any tier pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 16C.285, subd. 3(7). A false
statement under oath, by Contractor, subcontractor, or motor carrier, verifying compliance
with any of the minimum criteria may result in termination of the Contract.
