the City in writing, drawing, or other appropriate media for further review and approval any
significant changes in the scope, design, color, size, material, utility, support requirements,

creativity of the Artist. The Artist shall not assign the creative or artistic portions of the Work to

Work, Artist shall be responsible for designing the Work, as described in Exhibit A, so that it

6. TIMELY PROVISION OF SERICES; DAMAGES FOR DELAYED
PERFORMANCE. The parties agree that in the performance of the terms and requirements of
this Agreement by the Artist that time is of the essence. Artist shall devote such time to the
performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary for
satisfactory performance of Artist's obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
6.1 Damages for Delayed Performance. Subject to reasonable proof and
documentation confirming the same submitted by the City, Artist shall be liable for all incidental
and consequential damages resulting, directly or indirectly, from delays in performance caused
by Artist's acts or omissions. Damages may include, but are not limited to the cost to retrofit the
Work installation area should Artist not meet installation schedule as specified in Exhibit B. The

non-consecutive), any delay arising out of such incapacity will be allowed by City whenever it is
Docusign Envelope ID: B6377B67-042E-4FD7-BB72-8BC8A8B3A738
5
Public Art Agreement
practicable to do so, considering the facts and circumstances of the Work, the Project, the
Architect, the General Contractor and the Client. City may require Artist to provide medical
certification of any claimed incapacity. In the event Artist is incapacitated such that Artist is
unable to work for a period exceeding a total of 30 days (whether consecutive or
nonconsecutive), City may, at its option, undertake to complete and install the Work in Artist’s
absence, so long as the final Work is substantially similar to that designed by Artist. If City
undertakes to complete the Work, City shall give due consideration to Artist’s suggestions, and
Artist may disclaim authorship of the Work. If City exercises its option to implement the Work
in Artist’s absence, any compensation paid or payable to Artist shall be reduced by the costs and
expenditures of City in completion and installation of the Work. In case of incapacity exceeding
30 days, the following person shall be Artist’s representative vis-à-vis the City for purposes of
this Section 6 unless otherwise directed in writing by the Artist:

7. APPROVAL AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF WORK. Payment does not imply
acceptance of work. The granting of any payment by City, or the receipt thereof by Artist, shall
in no way lessen the liability of Artist to replace unsatisfactory work, equipment, or materials,
although the unsatisfactory character of such work, equipment or materials may not have been
apparent or detected at the time such payment was made. Materials, equipment, components, or
workmanship that does not conform to the requirements of this Agreement may be rejected by
City and in such case must be replaced by Artist without as soon as possible.
7.1 The granting or withholding of any approval by the City shall be determined by
the City in its sole and reasonable discretion. However, the City shall approve all deliverables if
they materially conform to plans or Contract Documents previously approved by the City. If the
City withholds approval of any deliverables or Phase, in addition to other rights or remedies
available to the City under the Agreement or applicable law, the City shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement immediately and shall have no further obligations under this
Agreement.
7.2 Final Acceptance. Artist shall advise the City in writing when Artist has
completed all obligations, services and deliverables under this Agreement and all modifications.
The City promptly shall send a Notice of Response identifying in writing any obligations,
services, or deliverables that Artist has not satisfactorily met, any defects in Artist’s
performance, and the requirements for Artist to cure any such default. Artist shall have twenty
(20) days from dispatch of the Notice of Response to cure any defects in Artist’s performance
identified in the City’s Notice of Response. The Work shall not be officially accepted by City

into the Public Art Collection.
8. WARRANTIES/STANDARDS
8.1 Unique. Artist warrants that the design of the Work as expressed in the Proposal,
Exhibit A, is an edition of one, and that neither Artist nor Artist’s agents will execute or
authorize another to execute another work of the same or substantially similar image, design,
dimensions and materials as the Work. Artist may create works that utilize or incorporate various
individual art elements that comprise the Work, so long as the work utilizing or incorporating
such individual elements (1) does not consist predominantly of such elements, (2) is not the same
or substantially similar in image, design, dimensions and materials as the Work, and (3) is not
displayed in an environment that is the same or substantially similar to the environment in which
the Work is to be displayed at the site.
8.2 Warranty of Title. Artist represents and warrants that Artist is the sole author of
the Work and that Artist is the sole owner of any and all copyrights pertaining to the Work.
Artist further represents that the Work is free and clear of any liens and that there are no
outstanding disputes in connection with property rights, intellectual property rights or any other
rights in the Work or any parts of the Work.
8.3 The Artist shall faithfully perform the work required under this Agreement in
accordance with standards of care, skill, training, diligence, and judgment provided by highly
competent professionals who perform work of a similar nature to the Work described in this
Agreement. Artist shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this
Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this
Agreement, desires the removal of any such persons, Artist shall, immediately upon receiving
notice from City of such desire of City, cause the removal of such person or persons, unless in
the Artist's sole opinion, the skill or creativity of such person or persons is essential to the
creation of the Work.
8.4 Warranty of Workmanship. The Artist shall guarantee his/her Work to be free
from faults of material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year after installation and Final
Acceptance by the City. The Artist shall deliver the Work to the City free and clear of any liens
from any source whatsoever. The foregoing guarantees shall apply only to the Work that is
entirely that of the Artist or persons responsible to the Artist, as installed, and shall not apply to
materials or workmanship of projects in which the Work of the Artist is integrated or combined,
or to materials purchased, acquired, or installed by a person or entity not responsible to the
Artist.
8.5 Warranty of Public Safety. Artist represents and warrants that the Work will not
pose a danger to public health or safety in view of the possibility of misuse, if such misuse is in a
manner that was reasonably foreseeable at any time during the term of this Agreement.
8.6 Warranty of Acceptable Standard of Display and Operation. Artist represents and
warrants that:
Docusign Envelope ID: B6377B67-042E-4FD7-BB72-8BC8A8B3A738
7
Public Art Agreement
8.6.1 Occasional or minimal cleaning and repair of the Work and any associated
working parts and/or equipment will maintain the Work within an acceptable standard of public
display;
8.6.2 Foreseeable exposure to the elements and general wear and tear will cause
the Work to experience only minor repairable damages and will not cause the Work to fall below
an acceptable standard of public display; and
8.6.3 With general routine cleaning and repair, and within the context of
foreseeable exposure to the elements and general wear and tear, the Work will not experience
irreparable conditions that do not fall within an acceptable standard of public display, including
mold, rust, fracturing, staining, chipping, tearing, abrading and peeling.
8.7 Manufacturer’s Warranties. To the extent the Work incorporates products
covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, Artist shall provide copies of such warranties to City.
9. MAINTENANCE OF WORK
9.1 Unless specifically provided in this Agreement, Artist shall not be responsible for
ongoing maintenance of the Work.
9.2 Artist shall provide the City with a General Maintenance Plan for the Work, with
a detailed description of future anticipated maintenance requirements; a recommended
maintenance schedule; anticipated and required care and/or replacement/upgrade of any part of
the Work and associated moving parts or equipment including any staff time involved in
displaying or operating Work and the frequency of such staff involvement; and written
instructions and manufacturer’s specifications for reasonably foreseeable maintenance and
preservation activities relating to the Work.
9.3 The Work shall be durable, taking into consideration that the installation site is an
unsecured public space that may be exposed to elements such as weather, temperature variation,
and considerable movement of people and equipment. Artist shall ensure that all maintenance
requirements will be reasonable in terms of time and expense.
9.4 Although City strives to maintain the Public Art Collection in good repair and
condition, City is not required by this Agreement to maintain the Work to any particular
standard. City may determine to allow the Work to deteriorate in accordance with the Work’s
temporary life span, if deemed appropriate by City or if City lacks sufficient funds for required
maintenance and/or conservation. If the Work suffers deterioration, City shall have sole
discretion to determine whether to remove the Work from display as a result of deterioration,
whether to replace any portion of the Work or translate any component into new media, or
whether to maintain the Work on display despite its deteriorated condition.
9.5 The anticipated life span of the Work is 25 years from the date of final acceptance
by the City. After that time, the City in its sole discretion may re-evaluate the Work to determine
if it retains its identity as a work of art and, if not, whether to take appropriate action, including
the possibility of destroying the Work. If the City determines that, through decay, vandalism or
Docusign Envelope ID: B6377B67-042E-4FD7-BB72-8BC8A8B3A738
8
Public Art Agreement
other forces, the Work has lost its integrity to the point where it should be destroyed, the City
shall first offer the Work to Artist free of charge and in writing.
10. ARTIST’S RIGHTS; CITY’S OWNERSHIP RIGHTS
10.1 Artwork Removal. The Work may be removed from the Site at any time. Artist
acknowledges and understands that the installation of the Work at the Site may subject the Work
to destruction, distortion, mutilation, or other modification due to the acts of the City or third
parties or to its removal, repair, maintenance, storage, or transfer of ownership.
10.2 The City intends to display the Work as originally created by Artist in Exhibit A
and to maintain the Work in good condition. Public artworks commissioned by the City are
sometimes integrated into their site, such that they become an integral, permanent and site-
specific part of a building’s architecture or landscaped environment and removal of the Work
would result in significant changes to the Work and the building’s architecture. City, however,
shall preserve complete flexibility to operate and manage City property in the public’s interest.
Therefore, City retains the absolute right to alter the Work in City’s sole judgment. For example,
City may alter the Work to eliminate hazard, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities
Act, to otherwise aid City in the management of its property and affairs, or through neglect or
accident. If, during or after the term of this Agreement, City finds the Site to be inappropriate,
City has the right to install the Work at an alternate location that City chooses in its sole
discretion. If the Work is free-standing such that it can be removed without significant damage to
the Work or the Site, and if the City authorizes the removal of the Work, the City shall take
reasonable precautions to minimize alteration of the Work during removal.
10.3 With respect to the Work produced under this Agreement, and in consideration of
the procedures and remedies specified in this Agreement, Artist waives any and all claims,
arising at any time and under any circumstances, against City, its officers, agents, employees,
successors and assigns, arising under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act (and 113(d)), the
California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq.), and any other local, state,
federal, or international laws that convey rights of the same nature as those conveyed under 17
U.S.C. §106A, Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq., or any other type of moral right protecting the
integrity of works of art. If the Work is incorporated into a building such that the Work cannot be
removed from the building without alteration of the Work, Artist waives any and all such claims
against any future owners of the site, and its agents, officers and employees, for alteration of the
Work. Artist shall provide City with aforementioned waivers prior to the commencement of
work.
10.4 If City intends to take any action with respect to the site or the Work that would
alter the Work, other than routine cleaning and maintenance, the following procedures shall
apply:
10.4.1 Notice. Where time permits, City shall make reasonable good faith efforts
to notify Artist at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to authorizing any alteration of the Work,
at the last phone number or address provided by Artist to the City’s Contract Administrator.
Where time does not permit prior to alteration of the Work – for example, in cases of public
Docusign Envelope ID: B6377B67-042E-4FD7-BB72-8BC8A8B3A738
9
Public Art Agreement
hazard, accident or unauthorized alteration – City shall notify Artist within thirty (30) calendar
days after such alteration.
10.4.2 Consultation. After receiving such notice, Artist shall consult with City to
determine whether the Work can be restored or relocated, and to attempt to come to a mutually
agreeable plan for disposition of the Work. Such consultation shall be without charge by Artist
unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. If City intends to remove the Work, Artist shall
consult regarding methods to minimize or repair any Alteration to the Work caused by such
removal and the potential costs of such removal.
10.4.3 Restoration. If the Work is altered, with or without prior notice to Artist,
and City intends to maintain the Work on display, City shall make a reasonable good faith effort
to engage Artist in the restoration of the Work and to compensate Artist for Artist’s time and
efforts at fair market value, which may be the subject of a future Agreement between Artist and
City. However, City has no obligation under this Agreement to restore the Work to its original
condition, to compensate Artist for any restoration work, or to maintain the Work on display. If
Artist fails or refuses to negotiate with City in good faith with respect to any restoration, City
may contract with any other qualified art conservator or artist for such restoration. During
Artist’s lifetime, City shall make best efforts not to display or de-accession only a portion of the
Work without Artist’s consent.
10.4.4 Removal by Artist. Where time permits, if City intends to take action that
will destroy or significantly alter the Work, such as destruction of all or part of the site, and City
determines that it will not remove the Work itself, City shall allow Artist to remove the Work at
Artist’s expense within 60 days of notice from the City of the need to remove the Work, in which
case title shall revert to Artist. If Artist fails to remove the Work within that 60 day period, City
may alter the Work in any manner, including destroying it, in City’s sole discretion.
10.4.5 Remedies. If City breaches any of its obligations under this Section,
Artist’s remedies shall be limited as follows: If City inadvertently fails to provide a required
prior notice of alteration, City will provide notice as soon as it discovers the omission, and before
alteration of the Work if that remains possible. If City alters the Work without providing Artist a
required prior notice of alteration, Artist shall be given the first right of refusal to restore the
Work at the same location and City shall make reasonable efforts to provide funding for the
restoration. If City funds cannot be made available after reasonable efforts are made to secure
such funding, Artist may, but is not obligated to, restore the Work at Artist’s expense. If Artist
elects not to restore the Work, City may retain another artist or conservator to restore it, or may
Alter the Work in any manner, at City’s sole discretion.
10.5 If City alters the Work without Artist’s consent in a manner that is prejudicial to
Artist’s reputation, Artist retains the right to disclaim authorship of the Work in accordance with
California Civil Code §987(d) and 17 U.S.C. §106A(a)(2).
10.6 Except as provided in this Agreement, with respect to third parties who are not
officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns of City, Artist retains Artist’s moral rights in
the Work, as established in the Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§106A and 113(d)), the
California Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 and 989), or any other local, state,
Docusign Envelope ID: B6377B67-042E-4FD7-BB72-8BC8A8B3A738
10
Public Art Agreement
federal or international moral rights laws that protect the integrity of works of art. Accordingly,
nothing herein shall prevent Artist from pursuing a claim for alteration of the Work against a
third party who is not an officer, employee, agent, successor or assign of City. City has no
obligation to pursue claims against third parties to remedy or prevent alteration of the Work.
However, as owner of the Work, City may pursue claims against third parties for damages or to
restore the Work if the Work has been altered without City’s authorization.
11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PUBLICITY RIGHTS
11.1 Copyright. Subject to usage rights and licenses granted to City hereunder, Artist
shall retain all 17 U.S.C. §106 copyrights in all original works of authorship produced under this
Agreement. Artist’s copyright shall not extend to predominantly utilitarian aspects of the Work,
such as landscaping elements, furnishings, or other similar objects. If Artist is comprised of two
or more individual persons, the individual persons shall be deemed joint authors of the Work.
11.1.1 Artist agrees that all work performed under this Agreement shall comply

and catalogues or similar publications. City shall ensure that such reproductions are made in a
professional and tasteful manner, in the sole and reasonable judgment of the City. The proceeds

from the sale of any such reproductions shall be used to maintain and support City’s Public Art
Collection or for any other public purposes that City deems appropriate. The license granted
hereunder includes the right to create 2-dimensional reproductions on items such as tote-bags, T-
shirts, coffee mugs and similar merchandise. Nothing hereunder shall be construed to constrain
Artist from creating posters, note cards, or other reproductions of the Work with appropriate
credit to the City.

public records and City may authorize third parties to review and reproduce such documents
pursuant to public records laws, including the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance and California

infringement of Artist’s copyright and is not responsible for protecting the intellectual property

by City under this Agreement. Thus, City has no obligation to pay resale royalties pursuant to
California Civil Code §986 or any other law requiring the payment of resale royalties. If City

14. INDEMNIFICATION AND ARTIST’S RESPONSIBILITIES. Artist shall
indemnify, defend with counsel mutually selected by the City and Artist, and hold harmless the
City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all
losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal
injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or
municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct
or negligent acts or omissions of Artist or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for
Docusign Envelope ID: B6377B67-042E-4FD7-BB72-8BC8A8B3A738
15
Public Art Agreement
which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The
foregoing obligation of Artist shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to
property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct of the City
or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Artist or its employees,
subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property,
or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Artist to indemnify and hold harmless
includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance
by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not
relieve Artist from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This
indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages
whether or not such insurance policies are determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement,
Artist acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element
of consideration.
In the event that Artist or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Artist providing
services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the
California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS
as an employee of City, Artist shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment
of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Artist or its
employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on
such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
15. STATUS OF ARTIST AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
15.1 Independent Contractor. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Artist
shall be an independent contractor and shall not be an employee of City. City shall have the
right to control Artist only insofar as the results of Artist's services rendered pursuant to this
Agreement and the assignment of personnel. Otherwise City shall not have the right to control
the means by which Artist accomplishes services rendered pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other city, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the
contrary, Artist and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing services under
this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any and all
claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not
limited to eligibility to enroll in the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) as
an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer
contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.
15.2 Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the right of
Artist to engage in his/her profession separate and apart from this Agreement so long as such
activities do not interfere with the performance by Artist of his/her obligations as set forth in this
Agreement.

authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as an agent.

obligation whatsoever.

of the DIR has ascertained the general prevailing rate of wages (which rate includes employer
payments for health and welfare, vacation, pension, and similar purposes) applicable to the work
provided by covered contractors for straight time, overtime, Saturday, Sunday and holiday work.
Where applicable, Artist shall post a copy of the prevailing wage rates at the Site or material

to the penalties set forth in Labor Code Section 1775.

ARTIST BACKGROUND
James Dinh founded the design practice Studiofolia in 2010 with the simple mission of
connecting people to memory and place through public art. Because the context and
requirements of each project are different, his design process is based on an approach rather than
a singular style. This focus on site-specificity is reflected in the diversity of his built projects
located in different communities across the U.S. He is based in Cerritos, Los Angeles County.
