Agreement NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals and all defined terms set forth above are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth herein in full. 2. Project Coordination. Authorized representatives shall represent City and Consultant in all matters pertaining to this Agreement. A. City.

Scope of Services. Subject to such policy direction and approvals as City may determine from time to time, Consultant shall perform the type of services generally set out in the Scope of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. Consultant shall be assigned to provide particular services pursuant to the requirements of a task order that has been issued in conformance with the City’s Purchasing Policy (“Task Order”) executed by Consultant and City. B. Time of Performance. The services of Consultant are to commence upon receipt of a written notice to proceed from City, but in no event prior to receiving a fully executed agreement from City and obtaining and delivering the required insurance coverage, and Page 2 of 17 OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105 satisfactory evidence thereof, to City. Consultant shall perform its services in accordance with the schedule attached to the Task Order. Any changes to these dates in either this Section 3 or the Task Order shall be approved in writing by the Project Manager. C. Standard of Quality. City relies upon the professional ability of Consultant as a material inducement to entering into this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under this Agreement shall be performed 1) with due diligence, using its best efforts to perform and coordinate all activities in a timely manner; 2) in accordance with all applicable legal requirements; and 3) with the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant's field of expertise. Consultant shall correct, at its own expense, all errors made in the provision of services under this Agreement. In the event that Consultant fail to make such correction in a timely manner, City may make the correction and charge the cost thereof to Consultant. 4. Compensation and Method of Payment. A. Compensation. The compensation to be paid to Consultant, including both payment for professional services and reimbursable expenses, shall: (1) for services provided directly under this Agreement be at the rate and schedules more particularly described in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, or (2) for services authorized by Task Orders, be at the rate and schedules specified by said Task Order. However, in no event shall the amount City pays to Consultant for services provided directly under this Agreement exceed twenty thousand dollars ($20,000); nor shall the amount City pays to Consultant for work done by Task Order exceed the total compensation specified by the Task Order. City’s obligation to pay compensation to Consultant as provided herein is contingent upon Consultant’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any amendments thereto.

If any changes or modifications to Consultant’s scope of services are proposed by City, Consultant shall, upon receipt of such written change or modification, determine the impact on both time and compensation and notify City in writing. Upon agreement between City and Consultant as to the extent of said impacts to time and compensation an amendment to this agreement shall be prepared describing such changes. Execution of the amendment by City and Consultant shall constitute the Consultant’s notice to proceed with the changed scope. Consultant shall not commence any work exceeding the Scope of Work without prior written authorization from the City. Failure of the Consultant to secure City's written authorization for extra or changed work shall constitute a waiver of any and all right to adjustment in the contract price or time due, whether by way of compensation, restitution, quantum meruit, etc. for work done without the appropriate City authorization. D. Taxes. Consultant shall pay all taxes, assessments and premiums under the federal Social Security Act, any applicable unemployment insurance contributions, Workers Compensation insurance premiums, sales taxes, use taxes, personal property taxes, or other taxes or assessments now or hereafter in effect and payable by reason of or in connection with the services to be performed by Consultant.

Consultant shall not receive a premium or enhanced pay for work performed on a recognized holiday. Consultant shall not receive paid time off for days not worked, whether it be in the form of sick leave, administrative leave, or for any other form of absence. F. Litigation Support. Consultant agrees to testify at City's request if litigation is brought against City in connection with Consultant's work product. Unless the action is brought by Consultant or is based upon Consultant's negligence, City will compensate Consultant for the preparation and the testimony at Consultant's standard hourly rates, if requested by City and not part of the litigation brought by City against Consultant. 5. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of its execution by both parties and shall continue in full force and effect until December 30, 2025, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

Title, including the copyright and all intellectual property rights, to all plans, specifications, maps, estimates, reports, manuscripts, drawings, descriptions, designs, data, photographs, reports and any other final work products compiled, prepared or obtained by the Consultant under the Agreement shall be vested in City, none of which shall be used in any manner whatsoever, by any person, firm, corporation, or agency without the expressed written consent of the City.

Conflict of Interest Requirements. A. Consultant covenants and represents that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has, or shall acquire any investment, income, business entity, interest in real property, or other interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City, hinder Consultant's performance of services under this Agreement, or be affected in any manner or degree by performance of Consultant's services hereunder. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of the 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 City. Consultant agrees at all times to avoid conflicts of interest, or the appearance of any conflicts of interest, with the interests of the City in the performance of the Agreement. B.

(2 Cal. Code Regs. § 18700.3.) 10. Liability of Members and Employees of City. No member of the City and no other officer, elected official, employee or agent of the City shall be personally liable to Consultant or otherwise in the event of any default or breach of the City, or for any amount which may become due to Consultant or any successor in interest, or for any obligations directly or indirectly incurred under the terms of this Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the City shall have no liability or responsibility for any accident, loss, or damage to any work performed under this Agreement whether prior to its completion or acceptance or otherwise. 11. Indemnity. A. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall, at its own expense, indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City) and hold harmless City and any and all of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability (including liability for claims, demands, damages, obligations, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys’ fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs and expert witness fees) of any nature (“Liability”), whether actual, alleged or threatened, which arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the performance or failure to comply with this Agreement, regardless of any fault or alleged fault of the Indemnified Parties. For design professionals (as that term is defined by statute) acting within the scope of their professional capacity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall, at its own expense, indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City) and hold harmless any Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liability, whether actual, alleged or threatened, which arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant, or as may be provided by statute in Civil Code § 2782.8, as may be amended from time to time. The only exception to Consultant’s responsibility to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from Liability is due to the active negligence or willful misconduct of City or its elective or appointive boards, officers, agents and employees. B. Scope of Obligation. Consultant’s duty to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless as set forth in this Section 11 shall include the duty to defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City) as set forth in California Civil Code § 2778. This indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages or compensation payable by or for Consultant under worker’s compensation, disability or other employee benefit acts or the terms, applicability or limitations of any insurance held or provided by Consultant and shall continue to bind the parties after termination/completion of this agreement. This indemnification shall be regardless of and not in any way limited by the insurance Page 6 of 17 OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105 requirements of this contract. This indemnification is for the full period of time allowed by law and shall survive the termination of this agreement. Consultant waives any and all rights to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnified Parties concerning any Liability of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or Consultant’s failure to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement. Consultant’s duty to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless as set forth in this Section 11 shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability, or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not or may not be liable. The Consultant must respond within thirty (30) calendar days to any tender by the City, unless the time for responding has been extended by an authorized representative of the City in writing. If the Consultant fails to timely accept such tender, in addition to any other remedies authorized by law, as much of the money due or that may become due to the Consultant under this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the matter subject to tender, or until the Consultant accepts the tender, whichever occurs first. Consultant agrees to fully reimburse all costs, including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation incurred by the City in responding to matters prior to Consultant’s acceptance of the tender. 12. Independent Contractor. It is expressly agreed that Consultant, in the performance of the work and services agreed to be performed by Consultant, shall act as and be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of City and shall have responsibility for and control over the details and means of providing its services under this Agreement. Consultant shall furnish, at its own expense, all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation and services necessary for the successful completion of the services under this Agreement. As an independent contractor, Consultant shall obtain no rights to retirement benefits or other benefits which accrue to City's employees, and Consultant hereby expressly waives any claim it may have to any such rights. Consultant, its officers, employees and agents shall not have any power to bind or commit the City to any decision. 13. Compliance with Laws. A. General. Consultant shall use the standard of care in its profession to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has and shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required for Consultant to practice its profession. City is not responsible or liable for Consultant's failure to comply with any or all of the requirements contained in this paragraph or in this Agreement. B. Workers' Compensation. Consultant certifies that it is aware of the provisions of the California Labor Code which require every employee to be insured against liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and Consultant certifies that it will comply with such provisions before commencing performance of the Agreement and at all times in the performance of the Agreement. C. Prevailing Wage. Consultant and Consultant's subconsultants (if any) shall, to the extent required by the California Labor Code, pay not less than the latest Page 7 of 17 OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105 prevailing wage rates to workers and professionals as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State of California pursuant to California Labor Code, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 2.

Such license(s) shall be kept valid throughout the term of this Agreement. City may withhold compensation from Consultant until such time as Consultant complies with this section. 14. Confidential Information. All data, documents, discussions or other information developed or received by or for Consultant in performance of this Agreement are confidential and not to be disclosed to any person except as authorized by City, or as required by law. 15.

In such event, Consultant shall be entitled to receive as full payment for all services satisfactorily rendered and expenses incurred hereunder, an amount which bears the same ratio to the total fees specified in the Agreement as the services satisfactorily rendered hereunder by Consultant bear to the total services otherwise required to be performed for such total fee; provided, however, that the City shall deduct from such amount the amount of damages, if any, sustained by City by virtue of the breach of the Agreement by consultant. C. In the event this Agreement is terminated by City without cause, Consultant shall be entitled to any compensation owing to it hereunder up to the time of such termination, it being understood that any payments are full compensation for services rendered prior to the time of payment.
