time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by
giving the Consultant 90 (ninety) days advance written notice of such change. If such change
results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate
Consultant’s compensation.
(o) Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to
and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated,
lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these
specifications unless approved by City.
(p) Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely
notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance
under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required
liability policies.
(q) Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be
necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
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
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:

01203.0023/1056427.1 13
(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

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.
ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION
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

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

(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
Docusign Envelope ID: ADF72888-7903-4BB1-A39F-670513D1FDD3

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.

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
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 attorney’s 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
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 15 (fifteen) 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
Docusign Envelope ID: ADF72888-7903-4BB1-A39F-670513D1FDD3
01203.0023/1056427.1 16
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
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. 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. 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 of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the
Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Party.
If termination is due to the failure of the other Party to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement:
(a) 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.
(b) Consultant may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, terminate the
Agreement upon written notice to the City‘s Contract Officer. Consultant shall be entitled to
payment for all work performed up to the date of termination.

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
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.

This task was not included in the original scope of work.
Billed through December 31, 2024 - The total cost of Phase 01/Task 5.6 is $0.00 .
SecƟon 5.6, Avoidance and MinimizaƟon Measures for Covered Species, of the NCCP/HCP requires
compleƟon of pre-project surveys for covered species known to be found in the Project area. These
survey requirements are necessary to maintain take permit coverage for covered species. Survey
protocols for some species require a set number of surveys to be conducted at specific Ɵmes of year.
This scope of work covers periods between October 2024 and March 2025. The project acƟviƟes that
would necessitate surveys occurred outside applicable survey windows. Accordingly, the required survey
acƟvity for this period of Project implementaƟon has been consolidated under this task. These acƟviƟes
will include database searches for known occurrences of covered species in areas where Project
acƟviƟes will be taking place, followed by data verificaƟon by way of onsite inspecƟon of the applicable
area (ground proofing). This includes ongoing surveys for host plants for the Palos Verdes Blue BuƩerfly
(Glaucopsyche lygdamus palosverdesensis) and El Segundo Blue BuƩerfly (Euphilotes bayƩoides allyni).
Breeding season for relevant bird species will commence during the Ɵmeframe of this scope of work.
Accordingly, in the event of addiƟonal construcƟon or maintenance acƟviƟes, surveys for nesƟng birds
may need to be conducted. Included bird species are Coastal California Gnatcatcher (PoliopƟla
californica californica) and cactus wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus). The Monarch buƩerfly is a
candidate species for lisƟng under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and a California species of
special concern. Because the Project may include disturbances to trees favored by Monarch buƩerflies
(Danaus plexippus Plexippus) for overwintering roosƟng. This task includes two one-day surveys
(November through February) for presence of roosƟng Monarch buƩerflies in the project area. Finally,
the status of the western burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) changed during the course of the project
and the species is now a candidate for lisƟng under the California Endangered Species Act. Accordingly,
in the event of construcƟon or maintenance, this prompts compleƟon of surveys to idenƟfy the presence
of suitable habitat for the species in the project area.
Scope of services for January 1, 2025, through March 31, 2025 - The total cost of Phase 01/Task 5.6 is

disturbance. This scope of work anƟcipates that one biological monitor will be required to observe
disturbances in previously undisturbed land areas on a full-Ɵme basis for 12 hours a day, 6 days per week
(Monday through Saturday), for 12 weeks. Consistent with the requirements of the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA), monitors will record observaƟons of bird/raptor nesƟng acƟvity and the occupied
bird/raptor nests will be mapped throughout the 12 week period as it is nesƟng bird season (February 1
through September 15). A buffer around the nest locaƟon will be established as appropriate for the
bird/raptor species. No work will occur within the determined buffer of the acƟve nest. Removal of the
nest(s) shall be avoided unƟl the young have fledged and/or the nest is no longer acƟve, as determined
by a qualified biologist. The California gnatcatcher (PoliopƟla californica) is listed as endangered under
the CESA and threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act (FESA). If California gnatcatcher
nesƟng acƟvity is detected, then all construcƟon acƟvity must occur outside of a 300-foot buffer
surrounding each nest. ConstrucƟon noise levels should be monitored and not exceed 60 dBA within the
300-foot buffer zone unless authorized by the Wildlife Agencies. The status of the nest will be monitored
by a qualified biologist. The buffer zones and noise limits will be implemented unƟl the young have
fledged and/or the nest is no longer acƟve, as determined by a qualified biologist. To saƟsfy the
NCCP/HCP surveys for herpetofauna (repƟles) during the first days of iniƟal grading in areas within the
Preserve will be monitored and documented in combinaƟon with ongoing resource monitoring.
This task will include ongoing resource monitoring of target NCCP/HCP covered species including birds
(e.g., cactus wren), mammals, herpetofauna (repƟles), buƩerflies, bumblebees and plants as well as any
other rare, threatened, or endangered species for which potenƟal habitat exists on the project site; daily
sweeps of the construcƟon areas to ensure applicable measures to protect biological resources from
construcƟon acƟvity are being followed; idenƟficaƟon of any resources of concern; coordinaƟon with the
CM and the contractor regarding any resources of concern; conducƟng ongoing WEAP training of new
on-site personnel; digital mapping of habitat impacted by construcƟon acƟviƟes; and monitoring of daily
construcƟon acƟviƟes. Monitors will proacƟvely work with the contractors and CM to site acƟviƟes in
lower sensiƟvity habitats, as defined within Paragraph 20 of SecƟon 5.5, Habitat Impact Avoidance and
MinimizaƟon Measures for Covered Projects and AcƟviƟes, of the NCCP/HCP, to the extent feasible.
Covered (Plant) Species and cacƟ may be removed from impact areas and relocated to an adjacent or
suitable locaƟon within the Preserve, in coordinaƟon with the Wildlife Agencies. The City and its
Preserve Habitat Manager shall be noƟfied at least ten (10) working days prior to impacts for potenƟal
salvaging and relocaƟon opportuniƟes.
The project area includes sensiƟve biological habitat/resources and is located within the Rancho Palos
Verdes NCCP/HCP Preserve. While 12 weeks of full-Ɵme monitoring of construcƟon acƟviƟes have been
esƟmated for purposes of this scope work. The actual level of monitoring will depend on the

Under this task, LSA will quanƟfy impacts associated with the emergency project only based on data
collected in the field for areas within and outside the Preserve. Because the term “Neutral Lands” does
not have an agreed upon definiƟon between the City and the Wildlife Agencies, impacts will be
categorized as “Preserve” and “Outside Preserve.” LSA will coordinate with the Conservancy for data on
impacts to other areas. Analysis will be limited to the emergency project and data regarding impacts to
rare plants provided by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy. KCLAD, ACLAD, CalWater impacts
are outside this scope (not signatories).
QuanƟficaƟon of impacts to vegetaƟon will be limited to idenƟficaƟon of impacts to habitat subtype
(e.g., Artemisia-dominated scrub, Eriogonum-dominated scrub, Encelia-dominated scrub, Baccharis-
dominated scrub, Rhus-dominated scrub, and Atriplex salt-scrub). Following quanƟficaƟon of impacts,
map(s) will be produced idenƟfying the area of impact and type of impact.
The NCCP/HCP idenƟfies proposed Covered City Projects and the total acreage of allowed habitat loss for
each project, broken down by Coastal Sage Scrub and Grassland (see Table 5-1 in the NCCP/HCP). A total
of 17 projects are idenƟfied in Table 5-1. Aspects of the emergency project may fall within one or more
of these projects. Under this task, LSA would work with the City and the Conservancy to idenƟfy which
projects the emergency project may fall under and the total acreage taken under each project.
Deliverables:
• Quantification and tabulation of areas impacted by the emergency project broken down by habitat
type presented in a mapbook and accompanying technical memorandum.

Bend Landslide RemediaƟon Project provides for preparaƟon of a Paleontological MiƟgaƟon Plan
outlining procedures for paleontological data recovery. Under Task 7, LSA will review project plans,
relevant geological and paleontological literature, and any available project technical reports and
prepare a Paleontological Resources Impact MiƟgaƟon Program (PRIMP) that will discuss the appropriate
miƟgaƟon requirements regarding paleontological resources for this project. This PRIMP will follow the
guidelines set forth by the project miƟgaƟon measures, any reviewing agency comments/direcƟon,
Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) guidelines, and industry best pracƟces. It will describe the
proposed project and grading plans, the specific protocols and procedures of monitoring and fossil
collecƟon acƟviƟes, the necessary qualificaƟons for project personnel, the necessary acƟons in the event
that paleontological resources are discovered, the treatment methods for those resources, the

provide paleontological/archaeological monitoring and paleontological negaƟve results reporƟng for E-1
and E-2, access road development, drill rig pad development and associated ground disturbance. This
scope of work assumes that one archaeological/ paleontological monitor will be required to observe
disturbances in previously undisturbed land areas on a full-Ɵme basis for 11 hours a day, 6 days per week
(Monday through Saturday), for up to 12 weeks. The duraƟon of monitoring will depend on the extent of
ground disturbing acƟviƟes that have the potenƟal to affect archaeological or paleontological resources
based on input from the Principal InvesƟgator and Principal Paleontologist. Monitoring logs will be
submiƩed to the CM on a daily basis.
Deliverables:
• Daily monitoring logs.
Billed through December 31, 2024 - The total cost of Phase 08/Task 8.1 is $218,168.75.
Under Task 8.1, LSA will conƟnue to provide as-needed archaeological and paleontological resources
monitoring for the construcƟon areas associated with the Project operaƟons and maintenance. Because
construcƟon work has been completed for the Emergency Project, it is assumed that liƩle to no
monitoring will be required for this task. However, for purposes of this scope of work, LSA has planned
for one cultural resources monitor to provide monitoring coverage for ten 12 hour days during periods of
repair and maintenance. Monitoring logs will be submiƩed to the CM on a daily basis. The actual level of
monitoring will depend on the construcƟon schedule and the field condiƟons encountered on-site and a
change order may be required.
Deliverables:
• Daily monitoring logs.
Scope of services for January 1, 2025, through March 31, 2025 - The total addiƟonal cost of Phase
08/Task 8.1 is $16,080.00.
Task 8.1 total cost - $234,248.75.
Task 8.2: Archaeological and Paleontological Expert Review and CoordinaƟon
The LSA point of contact (POC)/coordinator for monitoring, or his designee will provide up to 72 hours of
coordinaƟon (1 hour per day, 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday), for 12 weeks) with the LSA
archaeological/paleontological and tribal monitors, including review of daily logs and submiƩal to the
CM. AddiƟonally, the Principal InvesƟgator (PI) of Archaeology and Qualified Principal Paleontologist will
provide up to 30 hours of assessment for archaeological and/or paleontological resources. It is important
to note that the project area is documented to be adjacent to sensiƟve paleontological and
archaeological resources. This proposal is based on negaƟve findings. If unmapped/untreated historic,
prehistoric, or paleontological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing acƟviƟes, monitoring
levels will need to be assessed; the new resources will need treatment, which may require a budget
adjustment. For purposes of this Ɵme and materials budget, 12 weeks of full-Ɵme monitoring have been
esƟmated. The actual level of monitoring will depend on the construc Ɵon schedule and the field
condiƟons encountered on-site and augmentaƟon of this task will be required.

Task 8.3: Tribal Resources Monitoring
MiƟgaƟon Measure TCR-1: Tribal Cultural Resources Monitoring, included in the DraŌ EIR for the
Portuguese Bend Landslide RemediaƟon Project states that prior to the commencement of any ground-
disturbing acƟviƟes at the project site, California NaƟve American tribes that have informed the City that
they are tradiƟonally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area will be invited to observe and
monitor the ground-disturbing acƟviƟes. Under Task 8.1, LSA will coordinate with the Gabrieleño-Tongva
Tribe to secure the services of one NaƟve American monitor to observe required disturbances in
previously undisturbed land areas. Under Task 8.3, a NaƟve American monitor will observe on a full-Ɵme

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Rancho Palos Verdes (we, us or Company) may be required by law to
provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and
conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronicall y through the DocuSign
system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this
information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature
Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to
use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign
system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made av ailable
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 6/15/2021 5:55:39 PM
Parties agreed to: Anthony Petros, Justin Cary, William Wynder, Teresa Takaoka
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
