<br />SECTION 9. MON nOR I NG <br />Department reserves the right to perform periodic on-site monitoring of <br />Contractor's compliance with the terms and conditions of this contract, and of <br />the adequacy and timeliness of Contractor's performances under this contract. <br />After each monitoring visit, Department shall provide Contractor with a <br />written report of the monitor's findings. If the monitoring reports notes <br />deficiencies in Contractor's performances under the terms of this contract, <br />the monitoring report shall include requirements for the timely correction of <br />such deficiencies by Contractor. Failure by Contractor to take action <br />specified in the monitoring report may be cause for suspension or termination <br />of this contract, as provided in Sections 17 and 18 of this contract. <br />SECTION 10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR <br />It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that Department is <br />contracting with Contractor as an Independent Contractor, and that Contractor, <br />as such, agrees to hold Department harmless and to indemnify Department from <br />and against any and all claims, demands, and causes of action of every kind <br />and character which may be asserted by any third party occurring or in any way <br />incident to, arising out of, or in connection with the services to be <br />performed by Contractor under this contract. <br />SECTION 11. SUBCONTRACTS <br />A. Contractor shall only subcontract for performances described in this <br />contract after Contractor has submitted a subcontract information summary, on <br />a form designated by Department, for each proposed subcontract, and Contractor <br />has obtained Department's prior written approval, based on the information <br />submitted, of Contractor's intent to enter into such proposed subcontract. <br />Contractor, in subcontracting for any performances described in this contract, <br />expressly understands that in entering into such subcontracts, Department is <br />in no way liable to Contractor's subcontractor(s). <br />B. In no event shall any provision of this Section 11, specifically the <br />requirement that Contractor obtain Department's prior written approval of <br />Contractor's intent to subcontract, be construed as relieving Contractor of <br />the responsibility for ensuring that the performances rendered under all <br />subcontracts are rendered so as to comply with all of the terms of this <br />contract, as if such performances rendered were rendered by Contractor. <br />C. Department's approval under this Section 11 does not constitute adoption, <br />ratification, or acceptance of Contractor's or subcontractor's performance <br />hereunder. Department maintains the right to insist upon Contractor's full <br />compliance with the terms of this contract, and by the act of approval under <br />this Section 11, Department does not waive any right of action which may exist <br />or which may subsequently accrue to Department under this contract. <br />D. Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local <br />laws, regulations, and ordinances for making procurements under this contract. <br />E. Department shall maintain an escrow retainage in the amount of five <br />percent (5%) of each construction or rehabilitation subcontract entered into <br />by Contractor until Department determines that the Federal labor standards <br />requirements applicable to each such subcontract have been satisfied. <br /> PAGE 5 OF 11 <br />
