17. The APPLICANT shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend, all at APPLICANT’s sole expense, the CITY, its
agents, employees and/or officers against claims, damages, suits at law or equity, actions, penalties, losses,
or costs of whatsoever kind or nature, brought against the CITY arising out of, in connection with, or incident
to the execution of this AGREEMENT, the CITY’s obligations under this AGREEMENT, and/or the APPLICANT's
performance or failure to perform any obligation under this AGREEMENT. Provided, however, that the
requirements of this section shall not apply to that portion of the claim due to the negligence of the CITY, its
agents, employees and/or officers.
18. The APPLICANT shall pay all additional costs the CITY incurred in the administration of the AGREEMENT,
including monitoring by the CITY as required. Said costs will be paid from the Project permitting deposit.
Should there not be sufficient funds in the Project permitting deposit to cover such additional costs, then said
costs shall be paid by APPLICANT after receipt of invoice from the CITY. The Director of the Department of
Community Development, the Director of Public Works, and/or their designees may periodically inspect the
work required hereunder and inspect completed improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if APPLICANT
fails to pay for said inspections, the CITY may use funds from section 17.b. as applicable to cover said costs.
This provision shall not be construed as creating any obligation on the CITY, its employees, agents and
representatives to perform such work
19. Funds obtained by the City pursuant to 17.b. above may be used by the City to remedy said defects and pay
any and all sums owing to contractors, suppliers, laborers, materialmen, subcontractors or others as a result
of such work for which a lien against any City property or property where the Improvements are located, has
arisen or may arise. Further, said funds may be used to cover the cost of correcting any damage which may
occur off-site due to defects, including damage, if any, to public property. This provision shall not be construed
as creating any obligation on the City, its employees, agents and representatives to perform such work.
20. In the event that any party deems it necessary to institute legal action or proceedings to enforce any right or
obligation under this AGREEMENT, the parties hereto agree that any such action or proceeding shall be
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction situated in King County, Washington. This AGREEMENT creates
no rights, power, or authority in any entity or person not a party to this AGREEMENT.
21. Written notice to all parties shall be by prepaid first class mail to the address specified below or as
subsequently amended in writing. Notice shall be considered delivered three (3) days after having been
