BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The project consists of constructing approximately 13,000 linear feet of sidewalk along
both sides of Hawthorne Boulevard from Palos Verdes Drive West to Crest Road to
provide a safe, all-weather access path for pedestrians to 11 bus stops. Additional
improvements include new bus stop shelters, access ramps, and bus benches. During
the design phase, Staff collaborated with the Monaco Homeowners Association (HOA)
Board of Directors to ensure the project will complement the existing planting and
irrigation improvements that may be impacted along the east side of Hawthorne
Boulevard.
Funding:
In 2009, the City applied to the Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
grant program for $1,117,000 of Federal funds to design and construct the Pedestrian
Safe Bus Stop Linkage Project on Hawthorne Boulevard. The City committed to a
minimum local match of $378,000, representing 20% of the total originally estimated
project cost of $1,495,000. The grant was awarded 2009 and it was funded during the
2012 Federal -aid funding cycle. Caltrans issued an authorization to proceed on the
project in 2014 and the grant funds are due to expire in 2019. Design was completed in
2015, which included resolving construction issues with the Hawthorne Boulevard
Signal Synchronization project and affirming the landscaping design with the Monaco
HOA.
Expenditures to date include $205,035 for design services by Terramar Engineering.
The project had been expected to start before the end of FY15-16, which would have
encumbered the remaining $1,289,965 budget. However, due to coordination with the
Hawthorne Blvd Synchronization Project and additional Staff time needed to manage
the public engagement process, the anticipated encumbrance of the $1,289,965
balance did not occur and therefore, some project funds were returned to the CIP fund
balance. The current FY16-17 continuing appropriation of $1,090,351 reflects the loss
of $199,614. The amount of the continuing appropriation is not sufficient to cover the
cost of construction, contingency and construction management and inspection.
Therefore, staff is requesting Council's consideration of appropriating additional funds to
restore the original project budget and account for the expenditures necessary to
complete the project as intended.
The following table summarizes the current and recommended project budget:

Approximately $525,000 of Proposition A funds are available and currently unallocated
to a capital project; therefore, Staff recommends funding eligible project items (bus
shelter, sidewalks adjacent to bus shelters, bus benches and detectable warning
surfaces) in the amount of $196,836. Proposition A funds are appropriate to use on this
project since Proposition A eligible items are those adjacent to and near bus stops and
are also eligible to use as the City's local match to the Federal -aid funds. Staff will
submit a formal request to Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(Metro) to use a portion of the City's Proposition A fund balance towards this project.
The request process is simple and ministerial in nature. Additionally, Staff requests the
City Council's consideration of approving an additional appropriation of $257,727 from
the CIP reserves to fully fund the project.
As an alternative, the City Council may consider rejecting all bids and modifying the
project plans and specifications to create a project that meets the objectives of the grant
but aligns with the current budget. Under this approach, the base bid could include a
shorter working period, bus shelters only on the Los Angeles -bound (i.e., northbound)
side of Hawthorne Boulevard only, and sidewalks on the ocean side of the street only.
Bid alternates would include the bus shelters and sidewalk on the southbound side of
the street, and the time it would take to construct them.
Advertisement and Bids:
The project was publicly advertised, and sealed bids were received and opened on
February 9, 2017. California Landscape & Design, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive
bid out of 9 bids received. The following table summarizes the bids received:

Construction Manaaement Services:
Staff requested proposals from five qualified consulting firms to provide construction
management and inspection services for the project. Although requests were sent to
five firms, only three responses were received. The table below is a summary of the
proposals received and their corresponding fees.

Government Code Sections 4525 through 4529.5 (also known as the Mini -Brooks Act)
govern contracts between public entities and private firms that offer professional
services. These statutes establish the Qualifications -Based Selection (QBS) method
that was utilized to select the most qualified consultant who would perform the work at a
fair and reasonable cost to the City. Interwest Consulting Group, submitted the best
proposal, demonstrating appropriate competence and experience to successfully
oversee the project.
In the interest of full transparency, Terry Rodrigue of Interwest Consulting Group is
currently serving as the Interim Director of Public Works while the City is recruiting for a
permanent Director. While Mr. Rodrigue did not play a part in this recommendation and
proposals for Construction Management services were requested before he joined the
City as Interim Director of Public Works, Staff believes it is important to give the City
Council and the public full details of this procurement process in the event the City
Council would feel more comfortable selecting another firm. Furthermore, should City
Council decide to go with Staff's recommendation, the Interim Director of Public Works
will have no direct involvement with the project.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends proceeding with the construction of the Pedestrian Safe Bus Stop
Linkage on Hawthorne Boulevard Project and authorizing the recommended additional
appropriations to fund the project.
5
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative actions are available
for the City Council's consideration:
1. Reject all bids; revise the project specifications with a base bid that
includes a shorter working period, bus shelters on the Los Angeles -bound
(i.e., northbound) side of Hawthorne Boulevard only, and sidewalk on the
ocean side of the street only, with bid alternates of bus shelters and
sidewalk on the southbound side of the street; and re -advertising the
project.
2. Cancel the project, and return Federal -aid funds used to match the design
cost.

material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time
specified elsewhere in the Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer
or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of
final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of
any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the Agreement, commence and prosecute
with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense.

All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any
portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the
benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been
transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such
warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to
perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this
Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and
replace any defective or non -conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the
replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense. Contractor shall be obligated to fully
reimburse the City for any expenses incurred hereunder upon demand.

of this Agreement. Unless hereafter specified, neither party shall be responsible for the service of
the other.
1.10 Additional Work and Change Orders.
(a) City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the
services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope

may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Contract Officer to the
Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, and/or (ii) the time to
perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Contractor
("Change Order"). All Change Orders must be signed by the Contractor and Contract Officer prior

hundred eighty (180) days; and does not materially affect the Work and which are not detrimental to
the Work or to the interest of the City, may be approved by the Contract Officer. Any greater
increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council.
(c) Any adjustment in the Contract Sum for a Change Order must be in
accordance with the rates set forth in the Schedule of Compensation in Exhibit "C". If the rates in
the Schedule of Compensation do not cover the type of work in the Change Order, the cost of such
work shall not exceed an amount agreed upon in writing and signed by Contractor and Contract
Officer. If the cost of the Change Order cannot be agreed upon, the City will pay for actual work of
the Change Order completed, to the satisfaction of the City, as follows:
(i) Labor: the cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of
workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is done.
The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) Materials and Equipment: the cost of materials and equipment
shall be at cost to Contractor or lowest current price which such materials and equipment are
reasonably available at the time the work is done, whichever is lower.
(iii) If the cost of the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the
Contractor must provide a daily report that includes invoices for labor, materials and equipment
costs for the work under the Change Order. The daily report must include: list of names of workers,
classifications, and hours worked; description and list of quantities of materials used; type of
equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and transportation,
if applicable; description of other City authorized services and expenditures in such detail as the City
may require. Failure to submit a daily report by the close of the next working day may, at the City's
sole and absolute discretion, waive the Contractor's rights for that day.
(d) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this
Section 1.10 shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. Contractor
hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of
C-6 A-7
Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor shall
not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have
similar work done by other contractors.
(e) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance
shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.
1.11 Special Requirements.
Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part
hereof are set forth in the "Special Requirements" attached hereto as Exhibit `B" and incorporated
herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit `B" and any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit "B" shall govern.
ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Contract Sum.
Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor
the amounts specified in the "Schedule of Compensation" attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and
incorporated herein by this reference. The total compensation, including reimbursement for actual

only if specified in the Schedule of Compensation. The Contract Sum shall include the attendance of
Contractor at all project meetings reasonably deemed necessary by the City. Coordination of the
performance of the work with City is a critical component of the services. If Contractor is required
to attend additional meetings to facilitate such coordination, Contractor shall not be entitled to any
additional compensation for attending said meetings.
C-7 A-8
2.4 Invoices.
Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work
performed and expenses incurred during the preceding month in a form approved by City's Director
of Finance. By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Contractor is certifying
compliance with all provisions of the Agreement. The invoice shall detail charges for all necessary
and actual expenses by the following categories: labor (by sub -category), travel, materials,
equipment, supplies, and sub -contractor contracts. Sub -contractor charges shall also be detailed by
such categories. Contractor shall not invoice City for any duplicate services performed by more than
one person.
City shall, as soon as practicable, independently review each invoice submitted by the
Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with
the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred
by Contractor which are disputed by City, or as provided in Section 7.3, City will cause Contractor
to be paid within thirty (3 0) days of receipt of Contractor's correct and undisputed invoice; however,
Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot
guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City does not cause
Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted

agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of
activities Contractor performs; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned,
occupied or used by Contractor; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Contractor.
The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, and

insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought,
except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City.
At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured
retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and
volunteers or the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related
investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Contractor agrees that the
requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which
the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property
resulting from the Contractor's activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the
Contractor is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Contractor's indemnification liabilities as
provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Contractor subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with
Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor shall
require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Contractor is required to
maintain pursuant to Section 5. 1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City.

harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") against, and will hold
and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative,
arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations,
errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein "claims or liabilities") that may

performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Contractor, its officers,
employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Contractor is
legally liable ("indemnitors"), or arising from Contractor's or indemnitors' reckless or willful

not the patentee or assignee or has not the lawful right to sell the same.
Contractor shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and
if it fails to do so Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and
failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This
indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or
omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Contractor in the performance of professional services
and work hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as
a result of City's sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City's negligence, except that design
professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation
shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall survive termination of this
Agreement.

companies qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of
Best's Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a

the City ("Risk Manager") due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than
3 years duration, or in the event the Risk Manager determines that the work or services to be

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and
to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be
instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other
appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District
Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles,
State of California.
7.2 Disputes.
(a) Default; Cure. In the event that Contractor is in default under the
terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating
Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to
Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in
which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may
be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that
Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on the
invoices only when the default is cured. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect
to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not
cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article.
Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor's default shall not be deemed to
result in a waiver of the City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this
Agreement.
(b) Dispute Resolution. This contract is subject to the provisions of
Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract
Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Article 1.5 mandates
certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the
response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request of
the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for
mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This
Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor
(whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in
dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or
damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by
reason of Contractor's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor's obligation
under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of
which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis
C-18
A-19
for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of
such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such
right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure,
indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any
party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other
provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non -
defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any
waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default
concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of
one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different
times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law
or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel
specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any
other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and
910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Liquidated Damages.
Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this
Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this
Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Six
Hundred Dollars ($600.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance
of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit "D"). The
City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any
accrued liquidated damages. Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be
assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project when such delay was caused by
the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility
facilities.
C-19
A-20
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically
provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate
this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (3 0) days' written notice to Contractor,
except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such
shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the
right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written
notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may
be such shorter time as the Contractor may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination,
Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically
approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the
Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the
notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in
accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer,
except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the

OPERATIVE PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made by
the Parties and contained herein and other consideration, the value and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1. SERVICES OF CONSULTANT
1.1 Scope of Services.
In compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Consultant shall
provide those services specified in the "Scope of Services" attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and
incorporated herein by this reference, which may be referred to herein as the "services" or
"work" hereunder. As a material inducement to the City entering into this Agreement,
Consultant represents and warrants that it has the qualifications, experience, and facilities
necessary to properly perform the services required under this Agreement in a thorough,
competent, and professional manner, and is experienced in performing the work and services
contemplated herein. Consultant shall at all times faithfully, competently and to the best of its
ability, experience and talent, perform all services described herein. Consultant covenants that it
shall follow the highest professional standards in performing the work and services required
hereunder and that all materials will be both of good quality as well as fit for the purpose
intended. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase "highest professional standards" shall
-I-
01203.0006/350513.1
mean those standards of practice recognized by one or more first-class firms performing similar
work under similar circumstances.
1.2 Consultant's Proposal.
The Scope of Service shall include the Consultant's scope of work or bid which shall be
incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms of such proposal and this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall govern.
1.3 Compliance with Law.
Consultant shall keep itself informed concerning, and shall render all services hereunder
in accordance with, all ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, and regulations of the City and
any Federal, State or local governmental entity having jurisdiction in effect at the time service is
rendered.
1.4 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments.
Consultant shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits and approvals
as may be required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement.
Consultant shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments and taxes, plus
applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary
for the Consultant's performance of the services required by this Agreement, and shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any
such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against City
hereunder.
1.5 Familiarity with Work.
By executing this Agreement, Consultant warrants that Consultant (i) has thoroughly
investigated and considered the scope of services to be performed, (ii) has carefully considered
how the services should be performed, and (iii) fully understands the facilities, difficulties and
restrictions attending performance of the services under this Agreement. If the services involve
work upon any site, Consultant warrants that Consultant has or will investigate the site and is or
will be fully acquainted with the conditions there existing, prior to commencement of services
hereunder. Should the Consultant discover any latent or unknown conditions, which will
materially affect the performance of the services hereunder, Consultant shall immediately inform
the City of such fact and shall not proceed except at Consultant's risk until written instructions
are received from the Contract Officer.
1.6 Care of Work.
The Consultant shall adopt reasonable methods during the life of the Agreement to
furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents,
plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be
responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City,
except such losses or damages as may be caused by City's own negligence.
-2-
01203.0006/350513.1
1.7 Further Responsibilities of Parties.
Both parties agree to use reasonable care and diligence to perform their respective
obligations under this Agreement. Both parties agree to act in good faith to execute all
instruments, prepare all documents and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement. Unless hereafter specified, neither party shall be responsible
for the service of the other.
1.8 Additional Services.
City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without
invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Services
or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be
undertaken unless a written order is first given by the Contract Officer to the Consultant,
incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum for the actual costs of the extra
work, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the
written approval of the Consultant. Any increase in compensation of up to ten percent (10%) of
the Contract Sum or $25,000, whichever is less; or, in the time to perform of up to one hundred
eighty (180) days, may be approved by the Contract Officer. Any greater increases, taken either
separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council. It is expressly understood by
Consultant that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in
the Scope of Services. Consultant hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services
to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Services may be more costly or time consuming than
Consultant anticipates and that Consultant shall not be entitled to additional compensation
therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other
contractors. No claims for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be
valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.
1.9 Special Requirements.
Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof
are set forth in the "Special Requirements" attached hereto as Exhibit `B" and incorporated
herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit `B" and any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit `B" shall govern.

Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Consultant the
amounts specified in the "Schedule of Compensation" attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and
incorporated herein by this reference. The total compensation, including reimbursement for
actual expenses, shall not exceed One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Eight Hundred dollars
($125,800.00) (the "Contract Sum"), unless additional compensation is approved pursuant to
Section 1.8.
-3-
01203.0006/350513.1
2.2 Method of Compensation.
The method of compensation may include: (i) a lump sum payment upon completion; (ii)
payment in accordance with specified tasks or the percentage of completion of the services, less
contract retention; (iii) payment for time and materials based upon the Consultant's rates as
specified in the Schedule of Compensation, provided that (a) time estimates are provided for the
performance of sub tasks, (b) contract retention is maintained, and (c) the Contract Sum is not
exceeded; or (iv) such other methods as may be specified in the Schedule of Compensation.
2.3 Reimbursable Expenses.
Compensation may include reimbursement for actual and necessary expenditures for
reproduction costs, telephone expenses, and travel expenses approved by the Contract Officer in
advance, or actual subcontractor expenses of an approved subcontractor pursuant to Section 4.5,
and only if specified in the Schedule of Compensation. The Contract Sum shall include the
attendance of Consultant at all project meetings reasonably deemed necessary by the City.
Coordination of the performance of the work with City is a critical component of the services. If
Consultant is required to attend additional meetings to facilitate such coordination, Consultant
shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for attending said meetings.
2.4 Invoices.
Each month Consultant shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed
and expenses incurred during the preceding month in a form approved by City's Director of
Finance. By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Consultant is certifying
compliance with all provisions of the Agreement. The invoice shall detail charges for all
necessary and actual expenses by the following categories: labor (by sub -category), travel,
materials, equipment, supplies, and sub -contractor contracts. Sub -contractor charges shall also
be detailed by such categories. Consultant shall not invoice City for any duplicate services
performed by more than one person.
City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Consultant to determine
whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Consultant
which are disputed by City, or as provided in Section 7.3, City will use its best efforts to cause
Consultant to be paid within forty-five (45) days of receipt of Consultant's correct and
undisputed invoice; however, Consultant acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run
procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the
event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City
to Consultant for correction and resubmission. Review and payment by City for any invoice
provided by the Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided
herein or any applicable law.
2.5 Waiver.
Payment to Consultant for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be
deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Consultant.
01203.0006/350513.1

this Agreement, however caused, Consultant's sole remedy being extension of the Agreement
pursuant to this Section.

agents or employees of City. City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed
to be a partner of Consultant in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any
joint enterprise with Consultant.
4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.
The experience, knowledge, capability and reputation of Consultant, its principals and
employees were a substantial inducement for the City to enter into this Agreement. Therefore,
Consultant shall not contract with any other entity to perform in whole or in part the services
required hereunder without the express written approval of the City. In addition, neither this
Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated or
encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise,
without the prior written approval of City. Transfers restricted hereunder shall include the
transfer to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more than twenty five percent
(25%) of the present ownership and/or control of Consultant, taking all transfers into account on
a cumulative basis. In the event of any such unapproved transfer, including any bankruptcy
proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved transfer shall release the Consultant or
any surety of Consultant of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.
ARTICLE 5. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Consultant shall procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, in a form and
content satisfactory to City, during the entire term of this Agreement including any extension
thereof, the following policies of insurance which shall cover all elected and appointed officers,
employees and agents of City:

e uivalent). A policy of comprehensive general liability insurance written on a per occurrence
basis for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. The policy of insurance shall be in

Consultant's profession. This coverage may be written on a "claims made" basis, and must

Agreement must be endorsed to be applicable to claims based upon, arising out of or related to
services performed under this Agreement. The insurance must be maintained for at least 5

herein.

All of the above policies of insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name the City,
its elected and appointed officers, employees and agents as additional insureds and any insurance
maintained by City or its officers, employees or agents may apply in excess of, and not
contribute with Consultant's insurance. The insurer is deemed hereof to waive all rights of
subrogation and contribution it may have against the City, its officers, employees and agents and
their respective insurers. Moreover, the insurance policy must specify that where the primary
insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-
insured retention.
All of said policies of insurance shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or
cancelled by the insurer or any party hereto without providing thirty (30) days prior written
notice by certified mail return receipt requested to the City. In the event any of said policies of
insurance are cancelled, the Consultant shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence
of insurance in conformance with Section 5.1 to the Contract Officer.
No work or services under this Agreement shall commence until the Consultant has
provided the City with Certificates of Insurance, additional insured endorsement forms or
appropriate insurance binders evidencing the above insurance coverages and said Certificates of
Insurance or binders are approved by the City. City reserves the right to inspect complete,
certified copies of and endorsements to all required insurance policies at any time. Any failure
to comply with the reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches or warranties
shall not affect coverage provided to City.
All certificates shall name the City as additional insured (providing the appropriate
endorsement) and shall conform to the following "cancellation" notice:

Consultant Initials
City, its respective elected and appointed officers, directors, officials, employees, agents
and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of
activities Consultant performs; products and completed operations of Consultant; premises
owned, occupied or used by Consultant; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by
Consultant. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded
to City, and their respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consultant's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit
is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At
the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured
retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and
volunteers or the Consultant shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related
investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Consultant agrees that
the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to
which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or
property resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities of any person or persons for
which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant's indemnification
liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with
Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall
require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be
provided to City.
5.3 Indemnification.
To the full extent permitted by law, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") against, and will
hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial,
administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs,
penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein "claims
or liabilities") that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in
connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein
of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or
entity for which Consultant is legally liable ("indemnitors"), or arising from Consultant's or
01203.0006/350513.1
indemnitors' reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant's or indemnitors'
negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this
Agreement, and in connection therewith:
(a) Consultant will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any
of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith;
(b) Consultant will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its
officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection
with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of
Consultant hereunder; and Consultant agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and
employees harmless therefrom;
(c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to
any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Consultant for such damages or other claims
arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work,
operation or activities of Consultant hereunder, Consultant agrees to pay to the City, its officers,
agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or
employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys'
fees.
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if
it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and
failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This
indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or
omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional
services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring
as a result of City's sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City's negligence,
except that design professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities
arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The
indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer.
Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies
qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of Best
Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a
financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager
of the City ("Risk Manager") due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more
than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be
performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the
Consultant agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly
upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

6.1 Records.
Consultant shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of
accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies or other documents relating to the
disbursements charged to City and services performed hereunder (the "books and records"), as
shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract
Officer to evaluate the performance of such services. Any and all such documents shall be
maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete
and detailed. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at
all times during normal business hours of City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit and
make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of
three (3) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to
such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Consultant's
business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by
Consultant's successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Consultant shall fully
cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is
made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records
Act.
6.2 Reports.
Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports
concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer
shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost
of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant
agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that
may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein
or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant
shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the
estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design
services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.
6.3 Ownership of Documents.
All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes,
computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the "documents and materials")
prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this
Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the
Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim
for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full
rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any
use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of
uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the
City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant's guarantee and warranties
shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such
-11-
01203.0006/350513.1
B-12
documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein.
All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared
by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify
City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Consultant with respect to any documents
and materials that may qualify as "works made for hire" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such
documents and materials are hereby deemed "works made for hire" for the City.
6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) All information gained or work product produced by Consultant
in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in
the public domain or already known to Consultant. Consultant shall not release or disclose any
such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written
authorization from the Contract Officer.
(b) Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors,
shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the
City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at
depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed
under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered
"voluntary" provided Consultant gives City notice of such court order or subpoena.
(c) If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of
Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City
shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and
fees, including attorneys fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant's conduct.
(d) Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its
officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena,
notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other
discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the
work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant
or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate
fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery
requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not
imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to
performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be
instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other
appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District
-12-
01203.0006/350513.1
B-13
Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los
Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall
not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed
after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the
reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the
default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not
reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the
City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the
invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the
outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the
City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the
part of the City to give notice of the Consultant's default shall not be deemed to result in a
waiver of the City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant
(whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in
dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or
damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by
reason of Consultant's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant's
obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the
amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which
shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without
liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The
failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the
obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by
any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any
other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this
Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any
right or remedy by a non -defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be
construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not
be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party
-13-
01203.0006/350513.1
of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or
different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in
equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel
specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain
any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections
905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.
7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided
in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this
Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Consultant,
except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be
such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant
reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60)
days' written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the
period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any
notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as
may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated
termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the
effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer
thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the
Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated
termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the
work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to
this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non -terminating party with the
opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work
and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable
to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the
compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off
or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.9 Attorneys' Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any
action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
-14-
01203.0006/350513.1
B-15
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or
equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's
fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other
reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other
necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be
deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or
not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION
8.1 Non -liability, of Officers and Employees.
No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any
successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which
may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the
terms of this Agreement.
8.2 Conflict of Interest.
Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall
acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests
of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant's performance of services under this
Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person
having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor
without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Consultant agrees to at all times

State statute or regulation. The Consultant warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay
or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement.

claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of,
any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual
orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class in the performance of
this Agreement. Consultant shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed
