. ______________________________________________ Interlocal Agreement between Port of Seattle (POS) And Green River Community College (GRCC) The Port of Seattle, a Washington municipal corporation ("Port") and Green River Community College (GRCC) agree as follows that GRCC shall provide curriculum development and delivery of Frontline Supervision course(s) and within-course modules to employees. I. Purpose of Agreement Consistent with RCW 39.34.080, the purpose of this Agreement is to permit the Port and Green River Community College to make the most efficient use of their powers and resources by enabling them to cooperate on a basis of mutual advantage, and take advantage of economies of scale and established systems in providing services. This Agreement is designed to set forth the understanding, rights and responsibilities of the parties. II. Powers/Legal Authorities Under RCW 39.34.080, a public agency may contract with any one or more other public agencies to perform any governmental service, activity or undertaking if each public agency entering into the contract has legal authority to perform such service, activity or undertaking. The Port derives its legal authority to engage in employee development and training from the implied power granted by its enabling statutes. To the extent that employees are critical to carrying out the functions authorized in Title 53 RCW, the Port's enabling statutes impliedly authorize the development and training of employees. Pursuant to RCW 39.34.080, the Port may contract with GRCC to perform such undertaking. GRCC is a community college. Under RCW 28B.50.020, GRCC has legal authority to offer educational, training and service programs, including academic transfer courses, realistic and practical courses in occupational education, community services of an educational, cultural and recreational nature, as well as adult education. GRCC thus has authority to perform the services described at Section IV. III. Objectives of Agreement The objective of this Agreement is to set forth the understanding, rights and responsibilities of the parties with regard to the provision of (A) curriculum development and (B) delivery of the "standard" 45 hour Frontline Supervision course(s) or within-course modules to Port staff. 1 IV. Scope of Services Green River Community College (GRCC) shall provide the following services: A. CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT Curriculum updating of materials for the "standard" 45 hour Frontline Supervision Course and within-course modules including the following: o Conducting limited needs assessment(s) and periodic curriculum refreshing of the "standard" 45 hour course (co-developed and co-owned by the Port of Seattle and Green River Community College) to meet the flexible needs of the Port and Port managers so: (1) the course content meets the needs of an enterprise-wide cohort and/or (2) all or parts of the course content meets the unique needs of a business unit or another other Port-determined group of employees Refreshing of the course materials will include periodic updating to reflect changing expectations and new initiatives (e.g., Workplace Integrity, "Our Values, Our Port" Initiative, CPI/Lean efforts) and new policies (e.g., HR-18, Performance Standards). Refreshing is needed so the course reflects current organizational priorities and practices, and provides important contextual information to help supervisors, managers, and others perform with confidence and skill. Refreshing the curriculum may include working with Port Human Resources and Development and other staff as required (e.g., Health and Safety, Workplace Integrity) as well as with line managers to review performance and knowledge needs, make revisions to course content and reference materials, and/or update classroom activities to reflect instructional refinements and/or participant needs. o Some course updating will occur before delivery of the "standard" 45 hour course beginning in October, 2012. Other updates will be made as needed, in order to deliver customized versions of this course to business units. o GRCC is responsible for providing final e-copy versions of the course materials and supporting instructor guides. All such materials (to be reproduced or branded or posted to SharePoint by the Port) should be submitted a minimum of 7 days in advance of when they are to be accessed by course participants. B.

At the Port's discretion, annual delivery of one "standard" 45 hour course offering with a lead instructor, supported by at least two other GRCC instructors who codeliver various within-course modules.

Indemnification. The Port, its officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any injury (including death) to any persons or for damage to any property regardless of how such injury or damage be caused, sustained or alleged to have been sustained by Green River Community College, its employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors or third parties arising out of the performance of this Agreement.

Provided, however, nothing in this Section shall require GRCC to indemnify the Port from any accident, injury, death or damage arising out of the sole negligence of the Port, its Commissioners, officers, agents or employees.

Make such records open to inspection or audit by representatives of the Port during the term of this Agreement and for a period of not less than three years after the expiration of this Agreement. 7 2. Retain such records for a period of not less than three years after the expiration of this Agreement; provided, however, if any litigation, claim, or audit arising out of, in connection with, or related to this Agreement is initiated, such records shall be retained until the later of (a) resolution or completion of litigation, claim or audit; or (b) six years after the date of termination of this Agreement. 3. Provide adequate facilities reasonably acceptable to representatives of the Port conducting the audit so that such representatives can perform the audit during normal business hours. 4. Make a good faith effort to cooperate with representatives of the Port conducting the audit. Cooperation shall include assistance as may be reasonably required in the course of inspection or audit, including access to personnel with knowledge of the contents of the records being inspected or audited so that the information in the records is properly understood by the persons performing the inspection or audit. Cooperation shall also include establishing a specific mutually agreeable timetable for making the records available for inspection by the Port's representatives. If GRCC cannot make at least some of the relevant records available for inspection within seven (7) days of the Port's written request, cooperation will necessarily entail providing the Port with a reasonable explanation for the delay in production of records.
