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. The City Manager or his/her designee shall represent City for
all purposes under this Agreement, except where approval for the City is specifically required by
the City Council. The Senior Analyst is hereby designated as the project manager (“Project

B. Consultant. The Consultant shall assign Vinayak Bharne, Principal
to have overall responsibility for the progress and execution of this Agreement for Consultant.
3. Scope and Performance of Services
A. 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
EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION 2022-081
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
(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
three-hundred fifty thousand dollars ($350,000); 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.
Payment by City under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of unsatisfactory work, even
if such defects were known to the City at the time of payment. City shall pay Consultant as
compensation in full for such services and expenses for the different elements of the scope of work
as follows:
B. Timing of Payment.
(1) Consultant shall submit itemized monthly statements for work
performed. All statements shall include adequate documentation
demonstrating work performed during the billing period and shall
conform to Federal Funding invoicing requirements, if applicable.
Except as otherwise provided herein, City shall make payment, in
full, within thirty (30) days after approval of the invoice by City.
(2) Payments due and payable to Consultant for current services must
be within the current budget and within an available, unexhausted
and unencumbered appropriation of the City. In the event the City
EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION 2022-081
Page 3 of 17
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105
has not appropriated sufficient funds for payment of Consultant
services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover
only those costs incurred up to the conclusion of the current fiscal
year; payment for additional work is conditional upon future City
appropriation.
C. Changes in Compensation. Consultant will not undertake any work
that will incur costs in excess of the amount set forth in Section 4(A) of this Agreement without
prior written amendment to this Agreement. City shall have the right to to propose change to the
Scope of Work within the Agreement by written proposal to the Consultant. 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.
E. No Overtime or Premium Pay. Consultant shall receive no premium
or enhanced pay for work normally understood as overtime, i.e., hours that exceed forty (40) hours
per work week, or work performed during non-standard business hours, such as in the evenings or
on weekends. 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 June 30th, 2023, unless earlier
terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be extended for successive one-year term(s) upon mutual, written approval by the City
Manager or his/her designee and Consultant. Work authorized by a separate Task Order as
contemplated by this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with the schedule set forth in

OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105
6. Inspection. Consultant shall furnish City with every reasonable opportunity for
City to ascertain that the services of Consultant are being performed in accordance with the
requirements and intentions of this Agreement. All work done and all materials furnished, if any,
shall be subject to the Project Manager's inspection and approval. The inspection of such work
shall not relieve Consultant of any of its obligations to fulfill the Agreement as prescribed.
7. Ownership of Documents. 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. Consultant shall assume no responsibility for the unintended
use by others of such final work products which are not related to the scope of the services
described under this Agreement. Basic survey notes and sketches, charts, computations, and other
data prepared or obtained under the Agreement shall be made available, upon request, to City
without restriction or limitations on their use. Consultant may retain copies of the above-described
information but agrees not to disclose or discuss any information gathered, discussed or generated
in any way through this Agreement without the written permission of City during the term of this
Agreement, unless required by law.
8. Employment of Other Consultants, Specialists or Experts. Consultant will not
employ or otherwise incur an obligation to pay other consultants, specialists or experts for services
in connection with this Agreement without the prior written approval of the City.
9. 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. Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the
Political Reform Act because Consultant:
(1) will not have the power to make any governmental decision,
including whether to: approve any rates, rules, regulations, policies,
standards, or guidelines of the City or any of its subdivisions; adopt
or enforce any laws; issue, deny, suspend, or revoke any permit,
license, application, certificate, order, or any similar authorization
or entitlement; authorize, modify, or renew any form of City
contract; grant approval to any City contract specifications on behalf
of the City; or grant City approval for any plans, designs, reports, or
similar; and
EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION 2022-081
Page 5 of 17
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105
(2) will not participate in the making of any governmental decision in
the equivalent of a staff capacity — for the purposes of this
provision, “participating in a governmental decision” including
providing information, an opinion, or a recommendation directly to
any person at the City empowered to make a decision on behalf of
the City without significant intervening substantive review; and
(3) will not perform the same duties for the City that would otherwise
be performed by a staff member required to report under the City’s
conflict of interest code. (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
EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION 2022-081
Page 6 of 17
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105
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
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

Page 7 of 17
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105
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
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.
Copies of the applicable wage determination are on file at the City's office of the City Clerk.
D. Injury and Illness Prevention Program. Consultant certifies that it is
aware of and has complied with the provisions of California Labor Code § 6401.7, which requires
every employer to adopt a written injury and illness prevention program.
E. Business Licenses. Unless exempt by law, Consultant and all
subconsultants shall have acquired, at Consultant’s expense, a business license from the City in
accordance with Chapter 5.04 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code, prior to City's issuance of an
authorization to proceed with the Services. 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. Assignment; Subcontractors; Employees
A. Assignment. Consultant shall not assign, delegate, transfer, or
convey its duties, responsibilities, or interests in this Agreement or any right, title, obligation, or
interest in or to the same or any part thereof without the City's prior written consent, which shall
be in the City’s sole discretion. Any assignment without such approval shall be void and, at the
City's option, shall immediately cause this Agreement to terminate.
B. Subcontractors; Employees. Consultant shall be responsible for
employing or engaging all persons necessary to perform the services of Consultant hereunder. No
subcontractor of Consultant shall be recognized by the City as such; rather, all subcontractors are
deemed to be employees of the Consultant, and Consultant agrees to be responsible for their
performance. Consultant shall give its personal attention to the fulfillment of the provisions of
this Agreement by all of its employees and subcontractors, if any, and shall keep the work under
its control. If any employee or subcontractor of Consultant fails or refuses to carry out the
provisions of this Agreement or appears to be incompetent or to act in a disorderly or improper
manner, it shall be discharged immediately from the work under this Agreement on demand of the
Project Manager.
16. Insurance. Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification provided herein,
Consultant shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain insurance that complies with the
requirements set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement, which is attached hereto and incorporated
by reference. Consultant shall upon thirty (30) days’ notice comply with any changes in the
amounts and terms of insurance as may be required from time-to-time by City’s risk manager.

17. Termination of Agreement; Default.
A. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder may be terminated at
any time, with or without cause, by the City upon five (5) days' written notice to Consultant.
B. If Consultant fails to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement within the time and in the manner herein provided or otherwise violates any of the
terms of this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, City may terminate
this Agreement immediately upon written notice. 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.
D. Upon termination of this Agreement with or without cause,
Consultant shall turn over to the City Manager immediately any and all copies of studies, sketches,
drawings, computations, and other data, whether or not completed, prepared by Consultant or its
subcontractors, if any, or given to Consultant or its subcontractors, if any, in connection with this
Agreement. Such materials shall become the permanent property of the City. Consultant,
however, shall not be liable for the City's use of incomplete materials nor for the City's use of
complete documents if used for other than the project contemplated by this Agreement.
18. Suspension. The City shall have the authority to suspend this Agreement and the
services contemplated herein, wholly or in part, for such period as it deems necessary due to
unfavorable conditions or to the failure on the part of the Consultant to perform any provision of
this Agreement. Consultant will be paid for satisfactory services performed prior to the date of
suspension. During the period of suspension, Consultant shall not receive any payment for
services or expenses incurred by Consultant by reason of such suspension.
19. Merger; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement between City and Consultant and shall supersede all prior negotiations,
representations, or agreements, either written or oral. This document may be amended only by
written instrument, signed by both the City and Consultant. All provisions of this Agreement are
expressly made conditions.

joint drafting effort and no provisions shall be interpreted against a party on the ground that said
party was solely or primarily responsible for drafting the language to be interpreted.
21. Litigation Costs. If either party becomes involved in litigation arising out of this
Agreement or the performance thereof, the court in such litigation shall award reasonable costs
EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION 2022-081
Page 9 of 17
OAK #4844-6469-8375 v105
and expenses, including attorneys' fees, to the prevailing party. In awarding attorneys' fees, the
court will not be bound by any court fee schedule, but shall, if it is in the interest of justice to do
so, award the full amount of costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees paid or incurred in good faith.
22. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a
written notice from City to proceed with work required by a Task Order, Consultant shall
immediately commence work to perform the services required by that Task Order according to the
time requirements set in the Task Order.
