RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Veterans Service Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Concord Recreation and Park District in an amount not to exceed $700 to provide for the rental fee of five softball fields on November 11, 2022 with approximately 200 members of the public for the purposes of commemorating Veterans Day.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of this action will not exceed $700 and is funded by donations from the community. No funds within the Department's budget will be utilized.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2012, the Contra Costa Veterans Service Office, in cooperation with the City of Concord, Concord Vet Center, and various community non-profits holds an annual Veterans Day softball tournament. This event has regional recognition and is a healthy and safe way for the community to participate in an activity that honors the service of our Veterans.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Concord Park contract includes indemnification language which states “User agrees to release and hold harmless the City of Concord, its officers, employees, volunteers, agents, successors in interest, insurers, contractors, suppliers, vendors, assigns, and any persons or entities with which/whom the City is affiliated, from any and all liability, lawsuits, or claims for injuries, death, or property damage resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with the users use of the Parks and Recreation Facility, including but not limited to Claims arising out of or in any way related to any emergency medical care administered, any illness, or infection or disease, and COVID-19 related health issue or exposure. This waiver and release shall apply even in the event that such personal injury, death, or property damage is caused or contributed to in whole or part through the passive or active negligence of the City (with the exception of sole, active negligence). The user agrees to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the City from and against any and all claims (including attorney’s fees) arising out of, or in any way related to the users rental and/or use of the Parks and Recreation facility, any actual or alleged negligence of the user, any emergency medical care administered, any illness or infection or disease, and/or COVID-19 related health issue or exposure.”

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Department will not be able to extend its appreciation to the community that it serves.
