AGREEMENT FOR SAMBASAFETY QORTA
(SOFTWARE AS A SERVICES AGREEMENT)
THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated for reference purposes only as August 1, 2024, is by and between
the City of Renton (the “City”), a Washington municipal corporation, and Samba Holdings, Inc., together
with its wholly owned subsidiaries that provide services (collectively, “Vendor”), a New Mexico
corporation. The City and the Vendor are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Parties.” Once
fully executed by the Parties, this Agreement is effective as of the last date signed by both parties (the
“Effective Date”).
1.Scope of Work: Vendor agrees to provide licensing for the SambaSafety Qorta product for motor
vehicle record monitoring and reporting as further described in Exhibit C, which is attached and
incorporated herein and may hereinafter be referred to as the “Work.” Vendor shall provide the
Work consistent with the requirements of the Services Proposal as set forth in Exhibit C.
2.Changes in Scope of Work: The City, without invalidating this Agreement, may order changes to
the Work consisting of additions, deletions or modifications. Any such changes to the Work shall
be ordered by the City in writing, and the Compensation shall be equitably adjusted consistent
with the rates set forth in Exhibit C. or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.
3.Time of Performance: Vendor shall commence performance of the Agreement within 90 days of
the Agreement’s execution.
4.Compensation:
A. Amount. The amount of the Agreement is made up of two parts, “One-Time Costs” which
apply to Phase 1 of the Work, and “Recurring Costs” which apply to Phase 2 of the Work.
One-Time Costs. The amount of the One Time Costs for this Agreement shall not exceed
$20,617.50 plus any applicable state and local sales taxes. Costs shall be paid based upon
Work actually performed according to the rate(s) or amounts specified in Exhibit BC.
Recurring Costs. The amount of the Recurring Costs shall be $7,878.00, plus any applicable
state and local sales taxes, plus any on-demand and support services requested by the
City as outlined in Exhibit C for the period starting one year from the Effective Date.
Recurring Costs are to be billed annually and are not to exceed an increase of 3% year
over year unless otherwise agreed by both Parties.
The Vendor agrees that any hourly or flat rate charged by it for its Work shall remain locked
at the negotiated rate(s) unless otherwise agreed to in writing or provided in Exhibit BC.
Except as specifically provided herein, the Vendor shall be solely responsible for payment of
any taxes imposed as a result of the performance and payment of this Agreement.
B. Method of Payment. On a monthly or no less than quarterly basis during any quarter in which
Work is performed, the Vendor shall submit a voucher or invoice in a form specified by the
City, including a description of what Work has been performed, the name of the personnel
CAG-24-223
SambaSafety Agreement Page 2 of 30
performing such Work, and any hourly labor charge rate for such personnel. The Vendor shall
also submit a final bill upon completion of all Work. Payment shall be made by the City for
Work performed within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt and approval by the appropriate
City representative of the voucher or invoice. If the Vendor’s performance does not meet the
requirements of this Agreement, the Vendor will correct or modify its performance to comply
with the Agreement. The City may withhold payment for work that does not meet the
requirements of this Agreement.
C. Effect of Payment. Payment for any part of the Work shall not constitute a waiver by the City
of any remedies it may have against the Vendor for failure of the Vendor to perform the Work
or for any breach of this Agreement by the Vendor.
D. Non-Appropriation of Funds. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or allocated for payment
under this Agreement for any future fiscal period, the City shall not be obligated to make
payments for Work or amounts incurred after the end of the current fiscal period, and this
Agreement will terminate upon the completion of all remaining Work for which funds are
allocated. No penalty or expense shall accrue to the City in the event this provision applies.
5. Termination:
A. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for cause by giving thirty
(30) calendar days’ notice of cure opportunity to the Vendor in writing. If Vendor is not able
to cure in that timeframe, then, in the event of such termination or suspension, all finished
or unfinished documents, data, studies, worksheets, models and reports, or other material
prepared by the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement shall be submitted to the City, if any are
required as part of the Work. After the first 12 months from the Effective Date of this
Agreement, the City reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time for
convenience by giving 30 days’ advance written notice.
B. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the City, the Vendor shall be entitled to payment
for all hours worked to the effective date of termination, less all payments previously made.
If the Agreement is terminated by the City after partial performance of Work for which the
agreed compensation is a fixed fee, the City shall pay the Vendor an equitable share of the
fixed fee. This provision shall not prevent the City from seeking any legal remedies it may
have for the violation or nonperformance of any of the provisions of this Agreement and such
charges due to the City shall be deducted from the final payment due the Vendor. No
payment shall be made by the City for any expenses incurred or work done following the
effective date of termination unless authorized in advance in writing by the City.
C. Return of Information. Upon the written request of City, Consultant shall return any of the
City’s Information in a usable format agreed to by the City at no additional cost to the City.
6. Warranties and Right to Use Work Product: Vendor represents and warrants that Vendor will
perform all Work identified in this Agreement in a professional and workmanlike manner and in
accordance with all reasonable and professional standards and laws. Vendor further represents
and warrants that all final work product created for and delivered to the City pursuant to this
Agreement shall be the original work of the Vendor and free from any intellectual property
encumbrance which would restrict the City from using the work product. Vendor grants to the
City a non-exclusive, perpetual right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, modify, and
SambaSafety Agreement Page 3 of 30
display all final work product produced pursuant to this Agreement. The City’s or other’s
adaptation, modification or use of the final work products other than for the purposes of this
Agreement shall be without liability to the Vendor. The provisions of this section shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
7. Record Maintenance: The Vendor shall maintain accounts and records, which properly reflect all
direct and indirect costs expended and Work provided in the performance of this Agreement and
retain such records for as long as may be required by applicable Washington State records
retention laws, but in any event no less than six years after the termination of this Agreement.
The Vendor agrees to provide access to and copies of any records related to this Agreement as
required by the City to audit expenditures and charges and/or to comply with the Washington
State Public Records Act (Chapter 42.56 RCW). The provisions of this section shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
8. Public Records Compliance: To the full extent the City determines necessary to comply with the
Washington State Public Records Act, Vendor shall make a due diligent search of all records in its
possession or control relating to this Agreement and the Work, including, but not limited to, e-
mail, correspondence, notes, saved telephone messages, recordings, photos, or drawings and
provide them to the City for production. In the event Vendor believes said records need to be
protected from disclosure, it may, at Vendor’s own expense, seek judicial protection. Vendor shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City for all costs, including attorneys’ fees, attendant to
any claim or litigation related to a Public Records Act request for which Vendor has responsive
records and for which Vendor has withheld records or information contained therein, or not
provided them to the City in a timely manner. Vendor shall produce for distribution any and all
records responsive to the Public Records Act request in a timely manner, unless those records are
protected by court order. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Agreement.
9. Independent Contractor Relationship:
A. The Vendor is retained by the City only for the purposes and to the extent set forth in this
Agreement. The nature of the relationship between the Vendor and the City during the period
of the Work shall be that of an independent contractor, not employee. The Vendor, not the
City, shall have the power to control and direct the details, manner or means of Work.
Specifically, but not by means of limitation, the Vendor shall have no obligation to work any
particular hours or particular schedule, unless otherwise indicated in the Scope of Work or
where scheduling of attendance or performance is mutually arranged due to the nature of
the Work. Vendor shall retain the right to designate the means of performing the Work
covered by this agreement, and the Vendor shall be entitled to employ other workers at such
compensation and such other conditions as it may deem proper, provided, however, that any
contract so made by the Vendor is to be paid by it alone, and that employing such workers, it
is acting individually and not as an agent for the City.
B. The City shall not be responsible for withholding or otherwise deducting federal income tax
or Social Security or contributing to the State Industrial Insurance Program, or otherwise
assuming the duties of an employer with respect to Vendor or any employee of the Vendor.
C. If the Vendor is a sole proprietorship or if this Agreement is with an individual, the Vendor
agrees to notify the City and complete any required form if the Vendor retired under a State
SambaSafety Agreement Page 4 of 30
of Washington retirement system and agrees to indemnify any losses the City may sustain
through the Vendor’s failure to do so.
10. Hold Harmless: The Vendor agrees to release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City,
elected officials, employees, officers, representatives, and volunteers from any and all claims,
demands, actions, suits, causes of action, arbitrations, mediations, proceedings, judgments,
awards, injuries, damages, liabilities, taxes, losses, fines, fees, penalties, expenses, attorney’s or
attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or by any and all persons or entities, arising
from, resulting from, or related to the grossly negligent acts, errors or omissions of the Vendor in
its performance of this Agreement or a breach of this Agreement by Vendor, except for that
portion of the claims caused by the City’s sole negligence.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, (Validity of agreement to indemnify against liability for negligence relative to
construction, alteration, improvement, etc., of structure or improvement attached to real
estate…) then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or
damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Vendor and
the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, Vendor’s liability shall be only to the
extent of Vendor’s negligence.
It is further specifically and expressly understood that the indemnification provided in this
Agreement constitute Vendor’s waiver of immunity under the Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title
51, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. The Parties have mutually negotiated and
agreed to this waiver. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement.
11. Gifts and Conflicts: The City’s Code of Ethics and Washington State law prohibit City employees
from soliciting, accepting, or receiving any gift, gratuity or favor from any person, firm or
corporation involved in a contract or transaction. To ensure compliance with the City’s Code of
Ethics and state law, the Vendor shall not give a gift of any kind to City employees or officials.
Vendor also confirms that Vendor does not have a business interest or a close family relationship
with any City officer or employee who was, is, or will be involved in selecting the Vendor,
negotiating or administering this Agreement, or evaluating the Vendor’s performance of the
Work.
12. City of Renton Business License: Unless exempted by the Renton Municipal Code, Vendor shall
obtain a City of Renton Business License prior to performing any Work and maintain the business
license in good standing throughout the term of this agreement with the City.

as regulatory fines and penalties with limits sufficient to respond to these obligations.
F. Vendor shall name the City as an Additional Insured on its commercial general liability policy
on a non-contributory primary basis. The City’s insurance policies shall not be a source for
payment of any Vendor liability, nor shall the maintenance of any insurance required by this
Agreement be construed to limit the liability of Vendor to the coverage provided by such
insurance or otherwise limit the City’s recourse to any remedy available at law or in equity.
Additional Insured requirements do not apply to Cyber Liability nor Professional Liability
insurance, if applicable.
G. Subject to the City’s review and acceptance, a certificate of insurance showing the proper
endorsements, shall be delivered to the City before performing the Work.

Exhibit A: SambaSafety Master Services Agreement
General Terms and Conditions
Service Order Term: “Service Order Term” shall mean the period for which this Service Order is operative, which commences
on the Effective Date and continues through the Initial Term and, if applicable, any Extension Term(s), subject to early
termination in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Service Order and the Master Services Agreement (collectively,
the “Agreement”). At the end of the Initial Term (and any Extension Term(s)) SambaSafety shall send a renewal invoice, not
fewer than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.
General Payment Terms:
All invoices are due and payable by Customer according to the Payment Terms set forth on the Service Order, as
calculated from the invoice date. All payments of fees shall be made in U.S. dollars.
Customer agrees to facilitate electronic payments to SambaSafety by setting up either (a) Automated Clearing House
(ACH) payments, or (b) automatic monthly credit card payments. Customer shall allow SambaSafety to initiate a
monthly draft for either payment method, and complete all necessary forms to facilitate such automatic payments,
which shall be drawn according to the Payment Terms set forth on the Service Order.
Payments by check will incur a $25.00 check fee.
All undisputed fees are non-refundable.
Any invoices which are not paid in full on the first of the month following the invoice due date shall accrue interest at
the lesser of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by law.
In addition to any other rights or remedies available to SambaSafety, any failure by Customer to timely pay in full all
undisputed invoices submitted by SambaSafety, entitles SambaSafety to discontinue Customer’s access to the
services if such default in payment is not cured within 45 days.
A twenty-five dollar ($25.00) Non-Sufficient Funds Fee will be assessed for all dishonored payments.
After the Initial Term and until the Service Order Term terminates or expires, the fees shall be at SambaSafety’s then-
current pricing applicable to its customers, which pricing may include a promotional discount. After the Service Order
Term terminate or expires, the subscription or service fees may increase at SambaSafety’s and City Agreement, but
in no event will such an increase be higher than 3% of then-current subscription fee prices.
Discontinuance Fee: Customer and SambaSafety have mutually agreed upon the fees to be provided for the services based
upon certain assumed volume of processing activity together with the Service Order Term. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that, without the certainty of revenue promised by the commitments set forth in this Agreement, SambaSafety would
have been unwilling to provide the services at the fees set forth in the Service Order. Because of the difficulty in ascertaining
SambaSafety’s actual damages if the Customer were to terminate this Agreement prior to the Initial Term of 12-months, or
due to Customer’s failure to achieve any required minimum volume throughout the entirety of the Service Order Term,
Customer agrees that prior to any early termination taking effect, and in addition to all other amounts then due and owing to
SambaSafety, Customer will pay to SambaSafety as a contract discontinuance fee, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to
the balance of the fees that would have been due under this Agreement had there been no early termination (the
“Discontinuance Fee”). The Discontinuance Fee will not apply after the Initial Term of 12-months. Customer acknowledges
and agrees that the Discontinuance Fee is a reasonable estimation of the actual damages that SambaSafety would suffer if
SambaSafety were to fail to receive the amount of processing business contemplated by this Agreement. Customer shall not
be required to pay the Discontinuance Fee if Customer terminates this Agreement for a material, uncured breach by
SambaSafety of one of its material obligations under this Agreement.
Inactive Accounts: If following the Service Order Term, Customer’s account includes amounts owing to Customer, Customer
shall request a refund of the balance within 5 months of the termination or expiration of this Service Order.
Additional Terms
The parties expressly incorporate by reference and intend this Agreement to include the additional terms and
conditions in Exhibit A (the “Master Services Agreement”).
If the Service Order includes monitoring and/or data solutions services, then the FCRA “permissible purpose”
form(s) and the certifications made in such forms are incorporated into this Agreement as Exhibit B.
SambaSafety Agreement Page 14 of 30
Monitoring Specific Terms and Conditions
Services Description:
MVR monitoring provides continuous visibility into employees’ driving records. In the United States, this is accomplished via a complex set of
Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”) connections and 3rd party data sources (“State / Data Providers”), triggering an MVR, which is obtained
automatically by the SambaSafety platform, only when there is new activity to report, thereby providing actionable information to improve drivers’
performance and mitigate risks. MVR Service Fees shall apply.
Canada license monitoring is limited to just monitoring for changes in driver license status and the SambaSafety platform does not alert on new
violations. Canada license monitoring also differs from US license monitoring in that changes to license status do not result in an Activity MVR being
generated by the system. An activity is created and an alert is still generated identifying the status change.
Activity MVR: The platform monitors drivers at least monthly for new activity on the driver’s driving record. This is done via multiple
methodologies without always procuring a full MVR. If activity is found, an official MVR will be automatically procured on behalf of the
Customer.
On-Demand MVR: At any time, the Customer can manually procure an MVR for any driver, either individually or on a scheduled basis. This
can be done via the dashboard.
State-Required Annual MVR: In some states, where required by state DMV policy, State-Required Annual MVRs are procured
automatically.
Driver Error MVR: Some State / Data Providers charge a State/Data Fee even if the driver information submitted by SambaSafety on behalf
of the Customer returns no results. This can happen when the Customer submits inaccurate driver information, including but not limited to
license number, first and last name, or date of birth. The Samba system enforces certain checks to validate that a license number follows the
appropriate format for a given state before the request is made to the state in an effort to minimize Driver Error MVR charges.
Enrollment MVR: An Enrollment MVR is a State / Data Provider mandated MVR purchase when enrolling a driver into that particular state.
Some states, such as California, charge State/Data Fees when adding drivers to the state monitoring programs. These fees are passed to
the Customer.
Monitored Driver: A driver shall be considered a Monitored Driver if they are enrolled in the platform for MVR monitoring at any point during
a particular month.
State Fees: State/Data Fees are charged by the State / Data Provider for all MVR types specified above and are billed to the Customer as
pass through costs.
Data Fees: are information and/or data-related fees that are charged by Federal/State agencies from which SambaSafety obtains
MVRs and related records or information.
Canada License Monitoring: Provides continuous license status monitoring in Canadian Provinces and Territories, generating alerts
on new activity, allowing customers to stay informed and better mitigate driving risks. Includes alerts and workflow capabilities.
Minimum Monthly Fee: Commencing on the Subscription Start Date and through the remainder of the Service Order Term, Customer agrees to
minimally pay SambaSafety an amount equal to the Monthly Minimum Number of Drivers as set forth in the quote multiplied by the monthly
Subscription Price per Driver set in the quote (the “Monthly Minimum Fee”). Separate Monthly Minimum Fees may apply (for US and Canada drivers)
depending on whether Canada License Monitoring is a separate line-item capability on the Service Order.
Customer Onboarding: Customer agrees to provide a completed Driver Upload Template and other required State Forms to SambaSafety within 15
business days prior to the Subscription Start Date specified above. If drivers are located in California or Pennsylvania, Customer must provide
SambaSafety with the Driver Upload Template and additional required State Forms within six (6) weeks prior to the Subscription Start Date. Additional
Canada Province or Territory forms may be required if Canada License Monitoring is included in the Service Order.

(collectively, “Services”) as more fully described in the applicable Service Order.
2.Term. This Agreement will become effective on the Effective Date and remain valid until it is terminated by either party pursuant
to the terms contained herein. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the other materially breaches the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other party fails to cure such material breach within thirty (30) days of receiving

SambaSafety may monitor use of the APIs to ensure quality, improve SambaSafety’s products and services, and verify

5.Confidentiality. “Confidential Information” means information that one party, or a party’s corporate affiliate, discloses to the
other party or its affiliate(s) under this Agreement, and that is marked as confidential or a reasonable person would believe

information is disclosed; provided, however, neither party shall have any obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any
Confidential Information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available by other than unauthorized disclosure by the recipient;
(b) is independently developed by the recipient; or (c) is received from a third party who has lawfully obtained such
Confidential Information without a confidentiality restriction. The recipient will not disclose Confidential Information of the
discloser, except to recipient’s affiliates, employees, agents or professional advisors who need to know it and who have
agreed in writing (or in the case of professional advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential. The recipient will
ensure that those people and entities to whom and which it transfers any Confidential Information of the discloser shall only
use such information as permitted under the Agreement and that such individuals and entities shall keep it confidential in
accordance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by any court of competent jurisdiction or other
governmental authority, the recipient may disclose to such authority, data, information or materials involving or pertaining to
Confidential Information to the extent required by such court order or government authority; provided that the recipient shall
have given reasonable notice to the discloser prior to such disclosure. Except for the limited use rights under the Agreement,
neither party acquires any right, title, or interest in the other party's Confidential Information. The confidentiality of the
information contained within the Services shall be maintained at all times. Information contained in the Services and MVRs
shall not be distributed, sold or shared with any third party nor used by Customer in any way except as expressly authorized
by this Agreement. Disclosure of such information may be cause for criminal and/or civil legal action against, Customer, its
employees, principals, officers, agents, subcontractors, and any involved third party. Pursuant to State and Federal law, any
person who willfully and knowingly obtains, resells, transfers, or uses information in violation of law may be subject to
criminal charges and/or liable to any injured party for treble damages, reasonable attorneys fees, and costs. Other civil and
criminal laws may also apply. The parties agree that this agreement is subject to RCW 42.56 the Public Records Act.
