Non-Tariff Measures 1. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Party shall not adopt or maintain any prohibition or restriction on the import of any good of the other Party or on the export or sale for export of any good destined for the territory of the other Party, except in accordance with Article XI of GATT 1994.
Bilateral Safeguard Measures 1. Where, as a result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement, any product originating in a Party is being imported into the territory of another Party in such increased quantities, in absolute terms or relative to domestic production, and under such conditions as to constitute a substantial cause of serious injury or threat thereof to the domestic industry of like or directly competitive products in the territory of the importing Party, the importing Party may take bilateral safeguard measures to the minimum extent necessary to remedy or prevent the injury, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 2 to 10.
COMPLIANCE BY CONTRACTOR WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS/ EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 6.1 In connection with the performance of the Services, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable statutes, laws, regulations, and orders of federal, state, county or municipal authorities which impose any obligation or duty upon the Contractor, including, but not limited to, civil rights and equal employment opportunity laws. In addition, if this Agreement is funded in any part by monies of the United States, the Contractor shall comply with all federal executive orders, rules, regulations and statutes, and with any rules, regulations and guidelines as the State or the United States issue to implement these regulations. The Contractor shall also comply with all applicable intellectual property laws.
Scope of Services The specific scope of work for each job shall be determined in advance and in writing between TIPS Member, Member’s design professionals and Vendor. It is permitted for the TIPS Member to provide a general scope description, but the awarded vendor should provide a written scope of work, and if applicable, according to the TIPS Member’s design Professional as part of the proposal.

PROPRIETARY/RESTRICTIVE SPECIFICATIONS If a prospective bidder considers the specification contained herein to be proprietary or restrictive in nature, thus potentially resulting in reduced competition, they are urged to contact the Procurement Division prior to bid opening. Specifications which are unrelated to performance will be considered for deletion via addendum to this Invitation for Bids.
Contractor’s Personnel Contractor warrants that all Contractor personnel engaged in the performance of Work under this Contract shall possess sufficient experience and/education to perform the services requested by the County. County expressly retains the right to have any of the Contractor personnel removed from performing services under this Contract. Contractor shall effectuate the removal of the specified Contractor personnel from providing any services to the County under this Contract within one business day of notification by County. County shall submit the request in writing to the Contractor’s Project Manager. The County is not required to provide any reason, rationale or additional factual information if it elects to request any specific Contractor personnel be removed from performing services under this Contract.
Contractor’s Key Personnel The Contractor shall use adequate numbers of qualified individuals with suitable training, education, experience and skill to perform the Services. The Contractor has been selected to perform the Services herein, in part, because of the skills and expertise of the key individuals and/or firms (collectively “Contractor’s Key Personnel”) that are listed in Exhibit F. Substitution or replacement of the individuals and/or firms identified in Exhibit F is not allowed except with written approval of the AOC If the designated lead or key person fails to perform to the satisfaction of the AOC upon written notice, the Contractor will have fifteen (15) calendar days to remove that person from the Project and replace that person with one acceptable to the AOC. All lead or key personnel for any Subcontractor must also be designated by any Subcontractor and are subject to all conditions stated in this section. The Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with replacing any of Contractor’s Key Personnel, including the additional costs to familiarize replacement personnel with the Services. If the Contractor does not furnish replacement personnel acceptable to the AOC, the AOC may terminate this Agreement for cause. Prior to the authorization of any Phase of the Agreement, the parties will agree upon any Key Personnel applicable to that Phase. Said personnel shall be documented in Exhibit F. Standard of Care The Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, Subcontractors, consultants and any persons or entities for whom Contractor is responsible, shall provide all Services pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and in a manner consistent with the standard of care under California law applicable to those who specialize in providing such services for projects of the type, scope, and complexity of the Project. The AOC’s Acceptance of any submittals, deliverables, or other work product of the Contractor shall not be construed as assent that Contractor has complied, nor in any way relieve the Contractor of, compliance with (i) the applicable standard of care or (ii) applicable statutes, regulations, rules, guidelines, and requirements. AOC’s Quality Assurance Plan The AOC or its agent may evaluate Contractor’s performance under this Agreement. Such evaluation may include assessing Contractor’s compliance with all Agreement terms and performance standards. Any deficiencies in the Contractor’s performance that the AOC determines are severe or continuing and that may place performance of the Agreement in jeopardy if not corrected, will be reported to the Contractor’s principal. The report may include recommended improvements and corrective measures to be taken by the Contractor. If the Contractor’s performance remains unsatisfactory, the AOC may, without limitation, terminate this Agreement for cause or impose other penalties as specified in this Agreement. Any evaluation of Contractor’s performance conducted by the AOC shall not be construed as an Acceptance of the Contractor’s work product or methods of performance. Contractor shall be solely responsible for the quality, completeness, and accuracy of the work product that Contractor and its Subcontractors deliver under this Agreement. Contractor shall not rely on AOC to perform any quality control review of Contractor’s work product, as such review shall be conducted by Contractor.
