PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN WELD COUNTY AND
MAISHA BORA �s�—
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 3o day of U�1, 2023, by
and between the Board of Weld County Commissioners, on behalf of the Weld County Department
of Human Services, hereinafter referred to as "County," and Maisha Bora, hereinafter referred to
as "Contractor".
WHEREAS, County desires to retain Contractor to perform services as required by County
and set forth in the attached Exhibits; and
WHEREAS, Contractor is willing and has the specific ability, qualifications, and time to
perform the required services according to the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Contractor is authorized to do business in the State of Colorado and has the
time, skill, expertise, and experience necessary to provide the services as set forth below; and
WHEREAS, the Colorado Department of Human Services has provided Core/Non-Core
or other funding to the Department for Home -Based Intervention, Life Skills and Mental Health
Services.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Introduction. The terms of this Agreement are contained in the terms recited in this
document and in the attached Exhibits, each of which forms an integral part of this Agreement and
are incorporated herein. The parties each acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, including
the attached Exhibits, define the performance obligations of Contractor and Contractor's
willingness and ability to meet those requirements (the "Work"). If a conflict occurs between this
Agreement and any Exhibit or other attached document, the terms of this Agreement shall control,
and the remaining order of precedence shall be based upon order of attachment.
Exhibit A consists of the Scope of Services.
Exhibit B consists of the Rate Schedule.
Exhibit C consists of County's Request for Proposal (RFP) as set forth in Bid Package No.
B2300040 which is incorporated into this agreement by reference and will be provided
upon request to the Department.
Exhibit D consists of Contractor's Response to County's Request.
2. Service or Work. Contractor agrees to diligently provide all services, labor, personnel
and materials necessary to perform and complete the Work described in the attached Exhibits.
Services shall be provided by the Contractor to any person(s) eligible for services in compliance
with Exhibits A, Scope of Services, and Exhibit D, Contractor's Response to Request for Proposal.
Contractor shall further be responsible for the timely completion and acknowledges that a failure
to comply with the standards and requirements of Work within the time limits prescribed by
County may result in County's decision to withhold payment or to terminate this Agreement.
3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be from August 1, 2023, through May 31,
2024, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. Both of the parties to this Agreement
understand and agree that the laws of the State of Colorado prohibit County from entering into
Agreements which bind County for periods longer than one year. This Agreement may be renewed
for 2 (two) additional one-year terms upon mutual written agreement of the Parties.
4. Termination; Breach; Cure. County may terminate this Agreement for its own
convenience upon thirty (30) days written notice to Contractor. Either Party may immediately
terminate this Agreement upon material breach of the other party, however the breaching party
shall have fifteen (15) days after receiving such notice to cure such breach. If this Agreement is
terminated by County, Contractor shall be compensated for, and such compensation shall be
limited to, (1) the sum of the amounts contained in invoices which it has submitted and which have
been approved by the County; (2) the reasonable value to County of the services which Contractor
provided prior to the date of the termination notice, but which had not yet been approved for
payment; and (3) the cost of any work which the County approves in writing which it determines
is needed to accomplish an orderly termination of the work. County shall be entitled to the use of
all material generated pursuant to this Agreement upon termination. Upon termination of this
Agreement by County, Contractor shall have no claim of any kind whatsoever against the County
by reason of such termination or by reason of any act incidental thereto, except for compensation
for work satisfactorily performed and/or materials described herein properly delivered.
5. Extension or Amendment. Any amendments or modifications to this agreement shall be
in writing signed by both parties. No additional services or work performed by Contractor shall be
the basis for additional compensation unless and until Contractor has obtained written
authorization and acknowledgement by County for such additional services. Accordingly, no
claim that the County has been unjustly enriched by any additional services, whether or not there
is in fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis of any increase in the compensation payable
hereunder. In the event that written authorization and acknowledgment by the County for such
additional services is not timely executed and issued in strict accordance with this Agreement,
Contractor's rights with respect to such additional services shall be deemed waived and such
failure shall result in non-payment for such additional services or work performed. Any claims by
the Contractor for adjustment hereunder must be made in writing prior to performance of any work
covered in the anticipated Amendment, unless approved and documented otherwise by the County
Representative. Any change in work made without such prior Amendment shall be deemed
covered in the compensation and time provisions of this Agreement, unless approved and
documented otherwise by the County Representative.
6. Compensation. County agrees to pay Contractor through an invoice process during
the course of this Agreement in accordance with the Rate Schedule as described as Exhibit B.
Contractor agrees to submit invoices which detail the work completed by Contractor. The County
will review each invoice and if it agrees Contractor has completed the invoiced items to the
County's satisfaction, it will remit payment to the Contractor. No payment in excess of that set
2
forth in the Exhibits will be made by County unless an Amendment authorizing such additional
payment has been specifically approved by Weld County as required pursuant to the Weld County
Code. If, at any time during the term or after termination or expiration of this Agreement, County
reasonably determines that any payment made by County to Contractor was improper because the
service for which payment was made did not perform as set forth in this Agreement, then upon
written notice of such determination and request for reimbursement from County, Contractor shall
forthwith return such payment(s) to County. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,
unexpended funds advanced by County, if any, shall forthwith be returned to County. County
will not withhold any taxes from monies paid to the Contractor hereunder and Contractor
agrees to be solely responsible for the accurate reporting and payment of any taxes related
to payments made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Unless expressly enumerated in
the attached Exhibits, Contractor shall not be entitled to be paid for any other expenses (e.g.
mileage). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, County shall
have no obligations under this Agreement after, nor shall any payments be made to Contractor in
respect of any period after December 31 of any year, without an appropriation therefore by County
in accordance with a budget adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in compliance with
Article 25, Title 30 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, the Local Government Budget Law (C.R.S.
29-1-101 et. seq.) and the TABOR Amendment (Colorado Constitution, Article X, Sec. 20).
7. Independent Contractor. Contractor agrees that it is an independent contractor and
that Contractor's officers, agents or employees will not become employees of County, nor entitled
to any employee benefits (including unemployment insurance or workers' compensation benefits)
from County as a result of the execution of this Agreement. Contractor shall be solely responsible
for its acts and those of its agents and employees for all acts performed pursuant to this Agreement.
Contractor, its employees and agents are not entitled to unemployment insurance or
workers' compensation benefits through County and County shall not pay for or otherwise
provide such coverage for Contractor or any of its agents or employees. Unemployment
insurance benefits will be available to Contractor and its employees and agents only if such
coverage is made available by Contractor or a third party. Contractor shall pay when due
all applicable employment taxes and income taxes and local head taxes (if applicable)
incurred pursuant to this Agreement.
S. Subcontractors. Contractor acknowledges that County has entered into this
Agreement in reliance upon the particular reputation and expertise of Contractor. Contractor shall
not enter into any subcontractor agreements for the completion of the Work without County's prior
written consent, which may be withheld in County's sole discretion. County shall have the right
in its reasonable discretion to approve all personnel assigned to the Work during the performance
of this Agreement and no personnel to whom County has an objection, in its reasonable discretion,
shall be assigned to the Work. Contractor shall require each subcontractor, as approved by County
and to the extent of the Work to be performed by the subcontractor, to be bound to Contractor by
the terms of this Agreement, and to assume toward Contractor all the obligations and
responsibilities which Contractor, by this Agreement, assumes toward County. County shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to enforce the provisions of this Agreement against any
subcontractor hired by Contractor and Contractor shall cooperate in such process. The Contractor
shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its agents, employees and subcontractors.
3
9. Ownership. All work and information obtained by Contractor under this Agreement or
individual work order shall become or remain (as applicable), the property of County. In addition,
all reports, documents, data, plans, drawings, records and computer files generated by Contractor
in relation to this Agreement and all reports, test results and all other tangible materials obtained
and/or produced in connection with the performance of this Agreement, whether or not such
materials are in completed form, shall at all times be considered the property of the County.
Contractor shall not make use of such material for purposes other than in connection with this
Agreement without prior written approval of County.
10. Confidentiality. Confidential information of the Contractor should be transmitted
separately from non -confidential information, clearly denoting in red on the relevant document at
the top the word, "CONFIDENTIAL." However, Contractor is advised that as a public entity,
Weld County must comply with the provisions of the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), C.R.S.
24-72-201, et seq., with regard to public records, and cannot guarantee the confidentiality of all
documents. Contractor agrees to keep confidential all of County's confidential information.
Contractor agrees not to sell, assign, distribute, or disclose any such confidential information to
any other person or entity without seeking written permission from the County. Contractor agrees
to advise its employees, agents, and consultants, of the confidential and proprietary nature of this
confidential information and of the restrictions imposed by this Agreement.
11. Warranty. Contractor warrants that the Work performed under this Agreement will be
performed in a manner consistent with the standards governing such services and the provisions
of this Agreement. Contractor further represents and warrants that all Work shall be performed by
qualified personnel in a professional manner, consistent with industry standards, and that all
services will conform to applicable specifications.
12. Acceptance of Services Not a Waiver. Upon completion of the Work, Contractor
shall submit to County originals of all test results, reports, etc., generated during completion of
this work. Acceptance by County of reports and incidental material(s) furnished under this
Agreement shall not in any way relieve Contractor of responsibility for the quality and accuracy
of the project. In no event shall any action by County hereunder constitute or be construed to be
a waiver by County of any breach of this Agreement or default which may then exist on the part
of Contractor, and County's action or inaction when any such breach or default exists shall not
impair or prejudice any right or remedy available to County with respect to such breach or default.
No assent, expressed or implied, to any breach of any one or more covenants, provisions or
conditions of the Agreement shall be deemed or taken to be a waiver of any other breach.
Acceptance by the County of, or payment for, the Work completed under this Agreement shall not
be construed as a waiver of any of the County's rights under this Agreement or under the law
generally.
13. Insurance. Contractor must secure, before the commencement of the Work, the
following insurance covering all operations, goods, and services provided pursuant to this
Agreement, and shall keep the required insurance coverage in force at all times during the term of
the Agreement, or any extension thereof, and during any warranty period. For all coverages,
Contractor's insurer shall waive subrogation rights against County.
4
Types of Insurance.
Workers' Compensation / Employer's Liability Insurance as required by state statute,
covering all of the Contractor's employees acting within the course and scope of their
employment. The policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation against the County. This
requirement shall not apply when a Contractor or subcontractor is exempt under Colorado
Workers' Compensation Act., AND when such Contractor or subcontractor executes the
appropriate sole proprietor waiver form.
Commercial General Liability Insurance including public liability and property damage,
covering all operations required by the Work. Such policy shall include minimum limits as
follows: $1,000,000 each occurrence; $1,000,000 general aggregate; $1,000,000 Personal
injury; $5,000 Medical payment per person.
Automobile Liability Insurance: Contractor shall maintain limits of $1,000,000 for bodily
injury per person, $1,000,000 for bodily injury for each accident, and $1,000,000 for property
damage applicable to all vehicles operating both on County property and elsewhere, for
vehicles owned, hired, and non -owned vehicles used in the performance of this Contract.
Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions Liability). The policy shall cover
professional misconduct or lack of ordinary skill for those positions defined in the Scope
of Services of this contract. Contractor shall maintain limits for all claims covering
wrongful acts, errors and/or omissions, including design errors, if applicable, for damage
sustained by reason of or in the course of operations under this Contract resulting from
professional services. In the event that the professional liability insurance required by this
Contract is written on a claims -made basis, Contractor warrants that any retroactive date
under the policy shall precede the effective date of this Contract; and that either continuous
coverage will be maintained or an extended discovery period will be exercised for a period
of two (2) years beginning at the time work under this Contract is completed. Minimum
Limits: $1,000,000 Per Loss; $2,000,000 Aggregate.

insured.
c. Subcontractor Insurance. Contractor hereby warrants that all subcontractors providing
services under this Agreement have or will have the above described insurance prior to
their commencement of the Work, or otherwise that they are covered by the Contractor's
policies to the minimum limits as required herein. Contractor agrees to provide proof of
insurance for all such subcontractors upon request by the County.
d. No limitation of Liability. The insurance coverages specified in this Agreement are the
minimum requirements, and these requirements do not decrease or limit the liability of
Contractor. The County in no way warrants that the minimum limits contained herein are
5
sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance
of the Work under by the Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees, or
subcontractors. The Contractor shall assess its own risks and if it deems appropriate and/or
prudent, maintain higher limits and/or broader coverages. The Contractor is not relieved
of any liability or other obligations assumed or pursuant to the Contract by reason of its
failure to obtain or maintain insurance in sufficient amounts, duration, or types. The
Contractor shall maintain, at its own expense, any additional kinds or amounts of insurance
that it may deem necessary to cover its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.
e. Certification of Compliance with Insurance Requirements. The Contractor stipulates that
it has met the insurance requirements identified herein. The Contractor shall be responsible
for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and quantity of all services provided, the
timely delivery of said services, and the coordination of all services rendered by the
Contractor and shall, without additional compensation, promptly remedy and correct any
errors, omissions, or other deficiencies.
14. Indemnity. The Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless County, its
officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all injury, loss, damage, liability, suits,
actions, claims, or willful acts or omissions of any type or character arising out of the Work done
in fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement or on account of any act, claim or amount arising or
recovered under workers' compensation law or arising out of the failure of the Contractor to
conform to any statutes, ordinances, regulation, judicial decision, or other law or court decree. The
Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable for any and all injuries or damage received or
sustained by any person, persons, or property on account of its performance under this Agreement
or its failure to comply with the provisions of the Agreement. It is agreed that the Contractor will
be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this contract of
indemnity applies. In consideration of the award of this contract, the Contractor agrees to waive
all rights of subrogation against the County its associated and/or affiliated entities, successors, or
assigns, its elected officials, trustees, employees, agents, and volunteers for losses arising from the
work performed by the Contractor for the County. A failure to comply with this provision shall
result in County's right to immediately terminate this Agreement.
15. Non -Assignment. Contractor may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any interest
therein or claim thereunder, without the prior written approval of County. Any attempts by
Contractor to assign or transfer its rights hereunder without such prior approval by County shall,
at the option of County, automatically terminate this Agreement and all rights of Contractor
hereunder. Such consent may be granted or denied at the sole and absolute discretion of County.
16. Examination of Records. To the extent required by law, the Contractor agrees that an
duly authorized representative of County, including the County Auditor, shall have access to and
the right to examine and audit any books, documents, papers and records of Contractor, involving
all matters and/or transactions related to this Agreement. Contractor agrees to maintain these
documents for three years from the date of the last payment received.
17. Interruptions. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other for delays
in delivery or failure to deliver or otherwise to perform any obligation under this Agreement, where
6
such failure is due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of
God, fires, strikes, war, flood, earthquakes or Governmental actions.
18. Notices. County may designate, prior to commencement of Work, its project
representative ("County Representative") who shall make, within the scope of his or her authority,
all necessary and proper decisions with reference to the project. All requests for contract
interpretations, change orders, and other clarification or instruction shall be directed to County
