any of the financial interests listed in Government Code section 87103.

16.1 Consultant agrees that it will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless District f rom all Services Claims and Operations Claims ( each defined below) related to the performance by Consultant of this Agreement as provided in this section.

16.3 With respect to the performance of professional services under this Agreement where the law establishes a professional standard of care for such services, Consultant agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless District from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including but not limited to reimbursement of reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs of defense, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant (collectively, “Services Claims”).

Form Approved April 2021 8
does not relieve Consultant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this section. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals.

16.7 Consultant agrees that settlement of any Operations or Services Claim against District requires the consent of District.

16.9 Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each subconsultant or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement. If Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required, Consultant will be fully responsible for all obligations under this section. District ’s failure to monitor compliance with this requirement imposes no additional obligations on District and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement.

16.10 The parties acknowledge and agree that design professionals are required to defend and indemnify the District only to the extent permitted by Civil Code section 2782.8, which allows for claims only to the extent that they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the design professional, and also places limitations on the costs of defense that may be charged to a design professional . The term "design professional,” is defined in Section 2782.8, and includes licensed architects, licensed landscape architects, registered professional engineers, professional land surveyors and the business entities that offer such services in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 16 are to be interpreted and applied to the fullest extent permitted by Civil Code section 2782.8.

16.11 The provisions of this section will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Exhibit C (Insurance).

Consultant agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the insurance coverages listed in Exhibit C (Insurance), which is made a part of this Agreement. All insurance policies are subject to approval by District as to form and content. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the District Manager or District Counsel.

Section 18. Assignment.

The expertise and experience of Consultant are material considerations for this Agreement. District has an interest in the qualifications of and capability of the persons and entities that will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Consultant under this Agreement. In recognition of that interest, Consultant may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Consultant’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of District , which may be withheld in the District’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment will be CSD Agreement No. 2025-15

Form Approved April 2021 9
null and void, and will constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling District to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including summary termination of this Agreement.

Section 19. Default; Limitations on Liability.

The SSLOCSD owns and operates a WWTP for processing wastewater from nine miles of sewer lines from the City of Arroyo Grande, City of Grover Beach, and Oceano Community Services District. The WWTP has a peak dry weather flow of 5 million gallons per day (MGD) capacity, with current flows ranging from 2 to 3 MGD, and is National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted. The existing treatment plant cannot meet effluent limits at the permitted design flow if the fixed film reactors (FFR) or the secondary clarifier is out of service and there are no redundant units for either process. The existing plant uses mechanical screens, primary clarifiers, FFR, one secondary clarifier, and chlorination to provide secondary treatment with disinfection to treat wastewater. The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has had ongoing discussions with the District regarding the need for a redundant biological nutrient removal (BNR) train in case of a failure with a key component of the current process train. The goal of project is to allow major process units to be removed from service for maintenance or repairs without risking violation of effluent permit limits. Major components of the construction will include the following:
• Two activated sludge (AS) aeration basins
• One new secondary clarifier
• FFR effluent and primary effluent pump station
• Waste activated sludge (WAS) thickener with modifications to existing dewatering platform • Blower, electrical, and motor control center (MCC) building • Yard piping
• Site improvements
• Instrumentation and controls
• Electrical systems
• Floodproofing critical plant systems
• Rehabilitation of existing secondary clarifier
• New generator to provide backup power for new facilities MNS is providing complete third-party construction management services from the pre-construction phase through post-construction activities over a 30-month project duration.

Valley Center Well PFAS Groundwater Treatment
Improvements, Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency,
Santa Clarita, CA. Senior Construction Inspector. The
Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA) constructed
per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) treatment
improvements for the Valley Center Well that has a
capacity of 1,200 gallons-per-minute (GPM). The well
had been offline due to PFAS contaminants being
detected above the recommended levels. The $3.1M
project treated PFAS groundwater contaminants and
restored well pumping capacity back to normal levels.

East Central Interceptor Sewer, City of Los Angeles,
CA. Senior Construction Inspector. This $240M outfall
sewer upgraded a major portion of its sewer system in
response to severe sewage spills during the El Niño of
1998. The project installed new underground sewer lines, air siphon lines, and junction boxes. A combination of
open cuts and tunnel-boring machines (TBMs) were used
to access the areas where the permanent structures
were installed. Responsibilities included quality control of tunnel segment construction, lined reinforced concrete
pipe, tunneling and segment and pipe installation, and
annular space grouting and surface restoration. The new 22-mile interceptor sewer was built as a deep tunnel with finished diameters ranging from 7 to 4 feet. The project was constructed concurrently in two phases: an 11-mile
East-West and a 10-mile North-South segment. The new
sewer provides additional conveyance capacity for an
existing deteriorating sewer that is scheduled for
rehabilitation. Large sewage spills during the El Niño
storms of 1998 resulted in a Cease and Desist Order that established an aggressive schedule for the completion of the project. Duties on both projects included inspection of excavation and shoring of launching and recovery pits,
CSD Agreement No. 2025-15

Northeast Interceptor Sewer, City of Los Angeles,
CA. Lead Inspector. This project constructed 27,900 feet of 13-foot-diameter sewer tunnel utilizing three Lovat
tunnel boring machines (TBMs) at a tunnel depth of
approximately 160 feet. Two of the drives were driven in predominantly alluvial soils, below the water table, using EPB TBMs in the closed mode, with extensive soil
conditioning required to maintain face pressure and
control loss of ground and settlement. The third drive was driven in siltstone/claystone with a conventional TBM.

The tunnel support was a pre-cast segmental bolted and
gasketed lining. The inflow through the lining was less than 30 gallons per minute (GPM) over the length of the tunnel. Three work shafts/diversion structures were
constructed utilizing slurry wall initial support; seven 14- foot-diameter maintenance shafts were drilled to tunnel depth in advance of the tunnel drives, with tunnel-to-shaft connections made after the tunnel was driven past the
lean grout plug installed at the base of the drilled
manhole. The tunnel alignment ran through a densely
populated area of downtown Los Angeles and passed
under three major freeways, requiring an extensive
ground stabilization grouting program to be carried out in advance of tunneling. The owner had serious concerns
with ground settlement and the effect it could have on
utilities located above the tunnel. Due to the nature of the soils, there was a high likelihood for settlement. Nearly as great a concern was the adverse public relations that would result from any publicity about property damage or traffic disruption. TBI was able to eliminate the problem by utilizing face pressures and grouting techniques that resulted in zero measurable ground surface settlement
over the entire length of the 4-mile tunnel. The relatively small diameter of the tunnel and the need to have the
capability of performing TBM tool changes under 2.5 bar of pressure, coupled with the tight project schedule,
made the compressed air setup a critical part of the
operation. The TBM was too small to incorporate an
integral lock system, and compressing the entire tunnel based on the porosity of the sands would have required
an air compressor volume that would have been difficult to deliver and maintain. Therefore, TBI developed a
“portable” airlock system that was towed by the TBM.

Whenever compressed air was required to perform tool
changes or cutterhead maintenance, the lock structure
was affixed to the TBM plenum bulkhead through a
series of tension members and a rubber diaphragm
installed between the tunnel liner and the lock structure to form an airtight seal. This allowed the team to
compress only that portion of the tunnel, which was
forward of the trailing gear and kept the amount of air required to maintain face stability and water control to a minimum. Due to the high-water table and variable
ground conditions along the length of the tunnel,
conditioning the soil to maintain a sand plug and control the consistency of the muck was a major challenge. A
major research and development effort was undertaken
upon award of the contract, wherein TBI took samples of the various soil types along the alignment and had each tested to determine a “formula” of ground conditioning
additives that would best treat each of the different types of soil. From this research, a table was developed that classified each soil type by gradation and moisture
content and prescribed the formula best suited to attain the optimum conditioning. Responsibilities included
inspection and quality control of excavations for tunnel launching pits, surface and jet grouting, traffic control, installation of tunnel segments, lined reinforced concrete pipe, annular grouting, and surface restoration.

Various Projects, City of Los Angeles, CA. Principal
Construction Inspector. Chris supervised approximately

SECTION 6

QA/QC, INSPECTION MANAGEMENT

SYSTEMS, AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project Understanding
MNS recognizes that the City requires on-call
construction management support to oversee two
distinct efforts being delivered under two separte
contracts. The first effort, Wastewater System Generator Replacement at PS3 & PS5 (Project No. SS-5120-1),
will replace aging permanent generators, upgrade
automatic transfer switches, and add manual transfer
switches at two lift stations. The second, WRP
Generator Improvements (Project No. SS-5120-2),
focuses on retrofitting a portable generator connection at the Water Reclamation Plant. Together, these
projects represent approximately 115 working days of
construction with a total engineer’s estimate of $1.6M.

QA/QC
Quality management is an inherent CM responsibility.

MNS is knowledgeable and capable in all aspects of
quality management. Typically, the QC aspects of the
project are the contractor’s responsibility. The MNS
inspection team will follow a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) that continually monitors the contractor’s quality control to ensure all work meets the requirements of the specifications and best construction industry standards.

QA is the application of systematic methods to verify the effective implementation of quality control procedures.

MNS will manage the quality of the project by taking the quality assurance lead role and implementing the
project’s QAP, which allocates quality control
responsibilities to the various project participants to ensure the constructed product conforms to the contract plans and specifications. This includes a detailed
inspection plan, inspection procedures, and
documentation procedures for all inspection and test
reports. MNS will review the contractor’s quality control procedures to ensure adequacy. Quality control issues
will be discussed at each weekly meeting with the
contractor. The deficiencies/corrective items list will be maintained, reviewed, and updated weekly based on the
contractor addressing the noted issues.

MNS also regularly performs internal audits of its field operations to ensure the proper implementation of
procedures for MNS’ QAP. These internal audits focus
on inspection procedures, inspection documentation,
data quality, the document control system, CPM
schedule analysis, quality assurance documentation,
and the safety program.

Project Management Approach
MNS has developed a technical approach we have
found to be successful when implemented on similar
projects. MNS will approach this project as an integral member of the City’s project team with a focus on
discerning project challenges and providing solutions to better serve the project and reduce impacts to the
project and the community, and visiting the site.

Prior to the start of the project, MNS Project Manager, Jason Mate, will meet with the City’s Project Manager to establish a clear protocol and understanding of contract documents, project background, procedures, project
related agreements and permits, project milestones,
schedule, and expectations for the project. Open
communication is fundamental to establishing a firm
foundation in administering the project.

The MNS Project Manager will keep in close contact
with the Project Team and provide support on any
contractual and technical issues. We also recommend a
monthly meeting to discuss Project Status and to review the monthly budgets. The Project Manager will also be a resource for the City Management Team on any Cost,
Time or Quality related issues on the Project.

Quality Management System (Document Control).

The core of a sound construction management system
is a carefully devised and stringently applied quality
assurance regime. MNS will use its time-tested, three-
step approach (Figure 4.1) to define expectations clearly CSD Agreement No. 2025-15

SECTION 6 . QA/QC, INSPECTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT | 18

and closely monitor compliance. In short, we will tailor a Quality Management System (QMS) plan to be project
specific to ensure the work is constructed in a manner
that meets the requirements of the specifications.

Our proactive QMS system aims to help prevent the
cost and delay associated with rework for non-
conforming work.

A central feature of QMS is a paperless and cloud-
based tool designed to identify critical steps, maximize efficiency, and reduce cost. The CMIS document control
software incorporated into the system enables MNS to
manage the essential quality assurance and control
tasks based on specific technical requirements. The
system highlights the inspections and documentation
necessary to ensure requirements are met at each step
in the construction process.

QMS Planning Process. The MNS QMS plan for this
project will be a two-step process incorporating the
project's QA requirements with the QC program to
provide the inspection necessary and documentation
necessary to ensure that specific requirements are
achieved at every construction process step.

Step 1—QA Planning. Our QMS plan will be based on
the following elements:
• City technical and operational requirements
• Contract specifications/technical requirements
• Consultant and subcontractor input and points of
emphasis
• SRF requirements
• Needs of the City's operations team
• Permit and the requirements of Authorities Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ)
• Systematic measurement to assess compliance and
success of the quality control (QC) program
• Detailed documentation available 24/7 (cloud-based
using on-site digital software and customizable
forms)
• Training on processes for all project stakeholders
• Needs of the City's municipal partners and other
service recipients
Step 2—QA, Inspection, and Testing Planning. The
QMS plan guides the development of a project-specific
Inspection and Test Planning (ITP) protocol. This
protocol involves creating a specific quality control test plan for work items with the ITP checklists correlated to each section of the contract specifications.

Once compiled, the ITP checklists provide a blueprint for the field quality assurance (QA) team and contractor.

The protocol encompasses:
• Expectations of the
City, Design Engineer,
and plant operations
personnel
• Mandatory pre-
installation meetings
with the contractor
• Features to be
inspected and tested
• Test methods and
procedures
• Identification of "Hold
for Inspection" points
• Deliverables: samples,
certifications, etc.
• Specification requirements: pass/fail criteria
• Documentation: test results, photos, and other
pertinent data
• Contractor training and review of requirements
Pre-Installation Meetings. To ensure all parties are on the same page regarding the technical requirements
and inspection process, MNS will host mandatory pre-
installation meetings with the installation contractor(s).

The purpose of the meetings is to train the contractors on the ITP process, define specification requirements,
identify deliverables and hold points, review pass/fail criteria, and emphasize timely delivery of the required test reports. Central to this meeting is a detailed review of the ITP inspection form by the field engineers and
installation contractor(s).

Figure 4.1
CSD Agreement No. 2025-15

SECTION 6 . QA/QC, INSPECTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT | 19

By identifying quality expectations before the work
begins, these meetings help ensure the installation
contractor(s) know precisely what is required and how
the work will be inspected.

Our QMS process effectively reduces the need for
rework and fosters a collegial and efficient work
environment.

Conduct the Pre-Construction Site Survey. MNS will
conduct a comprehensive site survey using both video
and still photography to provide a detailed record of the areas that may be affected by the construction work.

Preparing the Materials and Inspection Log. As part
of our ITP process, the MNS team can support and help
prepare a list of the required tests and inspections. The PM, City Construction Manager, and Construction
Inspector can coordinate the materials testing (NV5),
our team's special inspector subcontractor. NV5 will
provide the expertise to ensure tests are performed
correctly and the contractor's remedial actions conform to project documents. We will maintain a log to track all material testing and track testing reports to verify
compliance.

Integrating the Electronic Document Control
System. To save time and reduce risk, MNS will deploy
CMIS to manage the cloud-based document control and
filing system before the start of construction. MNS is
flexible, has experience with a myriad of alternative and automated systems, and will adjust our document
control system based on the City's preference. In either event, the goal is to integrate design and construction milestones with the essential documents and ensure
timely delivery to project managers and key project
stakeholders. MNS will provide detailed instructions and training on the document submission process and
coordinate training for the plant operations team.

Maintenance of Plant Operations. Chris Magill will
support the coordination process necessary to ensure
the "Unintended Consequences of Construction" do not
affect or otherwise interrupt plant operations. Chris has extensive plant experience and has supported the
startup of several facilities at the Plant site. Chris has a depth of experience and knowledge of the plant and its
utility systems and worked well with operations
personnel. Additionally, he will meet with key City staff and will serve as an invaluable asset to successfully
complete this project. He will personally review the
contractor's work plans, as needed and schedule with
key City staff and plant operations personnel. His
presence and vigilance should ease communication and
ensure top-notch accountability and performance.

Our construction inspectors' primary duty is to
implement and maintain the MNS field QMS, as
described in Task 1.2, under the terms of the contract
document. Tracking on the checklists derived through
our ITP protocol, the construction inspectors'
responsibilities include:

Meetings. Host and document pre-installation meetings
with installing contractors.

QA. Inspect all work to ensure it meets the requirements and quality of work outlined in the contract documents.

Monitor contractor's QC program to ensure compliance
with the approved plan.

Daily Inspection Reports/Documentation. The daily
report will include accurate characterizations of labor and equipment, work description, safety issues, work
performed, and weather conditions. The Construction
Inspector will submit labor compliance reviews material verifications, track work items, and maintain as-builts. • Coordination. Coordinate testing of systems.
• Photo Record Maintenance. Regularly photograph
construction activity/progress.
• Verification of Material and Equipment. Verify the
delivered items conform to the project specifications
and approved submittals.
• Non-Conforming Work. Provide notification with
non-conforming work and support with NCR
development and not recommending payment.

Scope of Services
Our construction management scope of work can be
categorized into three separate tasks:
• Phase 1: Pre-Construction
• Phase 2: Construction
• Phase 3: Post-Construction and Project
Closeout
• Phase 4: Allowance Items

Type of Insurance Limits
Commercial General Liability $1,000,000 / $2,000,000 (occurrence/aggregate) Business Automobile Liability $1,000,000 combined single Workers’ Compensation Statutory Requirements
Professional Liability $1,000,000

2. Insurance Rating. All insurance required to be maintained by Consultant must be issued by companies licensed by or admitted to conduct insurance business in the State of California by the California Department of Insurance and must have a rating of A- or better and Financial Size Category Class VII or better by the latest edition of A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by District’s legal counsel.

3. Commercial General Liability Insurance. The commercial general liability insurance must meet or exceed the requirements of Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, and must be provided on a per occurrence basis for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. The insurance must be on an “occurrence” not a “claims made” basis. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There must be no cross- liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. The insurance must include a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self -insurance, a primary and non- contributory endorsement, and an additional insured endorsement, all in favor of the City of Camarillo/Camarillo Sanitary District, its officers, employees and agents, and volunteers; blanket endorsements are acceptable. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

4. Business Automobile Insurance. The business automobile insurance coverage must be at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01, covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with the services to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount stated above per combined single limit for each accident. Such insurance must include a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self -insurance, and a primary and non- contributory endorsement, and an additional insured endorsement, all in favor of the City of Camarillo/Camarillo Sanitary District, its officers, employees and agents, and volunteers; blanket endorsements are acceptable.

5. Workers’ Compensation. If Consultant has any employees, Consultant must maintain workers’ compensation insurance (statutory limits) and employer’s liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000). Such insurance must include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of the City of Camarillo/Camarillo Sanitary District, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; a blanket endorsement is acceptable.

6. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance. The professional liability insurance must cover the services to be performed under this Agreement. The coverage must be provided on a CSD Agreement No. 2025-15

Form Approved April 2021 C-2

“claims made” basis. Consultant must maintain continuous coverage through a period not less than three years after the completion of the services required under this Agreement.

7. Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance. If an excess or umbrella liability policy is used to meet minimum limit requirements, the insurance must provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella or excess liability poli cy must include a “drop- down provision” requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any reason. Coverage must be provided on a “pay -on-behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There may be no cross -liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. The policy must “follow form” to the underlying primary policy.

Coverage must be applicable to all insureds under the primary policies. The insurance must contain or be endorsed to contain a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self -insurance, and a primary and non- contributory endorsement for the benefit of District . The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of District following receipt of the required proof of insurance.

8. Contractor’s Limitations and Endorsements. The Consultant’s insurance policies must not include any endorsements or provisions that limit coverage for the following risks: explosion, collapse, or underground hazards (XCU); products and completed operations; pollution liability; and contractual liability. These coverages must be specifically included without any exclusions, modifications, or restrictions that would limit the scope of protection otherwise afforded by the basic policies. Any endorsement or exclusion that reduces or eliminates coverage for the above- listed risks is unacceptable.

9. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retention. Any deductibles or self -insured retentions applicable to the insurance policies required under this Agreement must be declared to and approved by District .

In no event may any required insurance policy have a deductible, self -insured retention or other similar policy provision in excess of $50,000 without prior written approval by District in its sole discretion. At the option of District, either the insurer will reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self- insured retentions with respect to the District’s additional insureds or Consultant will procure a bond guaranteeing payment of any losses, damages, expenses, costs or settlements up to the amount of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

10. Certificates of Insurance and Endorsements; Notice of Termination or Changes to Policies .

Prior to commencing any services under this Agreement, Consultant must file with the District certificates of insurance and endorsements evidencing the existence of all insurance required by this Agreement, along with such other evidence of insurance or certified copies of policies as may reasonably be required by District . These certificates of insurance and endorsements must be in a form approved by the District’s legal counsel. Consultant must maintain current certificates and endorsements on file with District during the term of this Agreement reflecting the existence of all required insurance. Each of the certificates must expressly provide that no material change in the policy, or termination or cancellation of the required coverage, will be effective except upon 30 days’ prior written notic e to District by certified mail, return receipt requested (except for nonpayment for which a 10- day notice is required). The delivery to District of any certificates of insurance or endorsements that do not comply with the requirements of this Agreement will not waive the Districts right to require compliance. In the event that Consultant’s policies are materially changed, Consultant must provide the District with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the applicable changes. District reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

11. Failure to Maintain Required Insurance. If Consultant, for any reason, fails to have in place at all times during the term of this Agreement all of the required insurance coverage, the District may, but is not obligated to, obtain such coverage at Consultant’s expense and deduct the cost from the sums due Consultant. Alternatively, District may terminate the Agreement.

12. Effect of Coverage . The existence of the required insurance coverage under this Agreement will not be deemed to satisfy or limit Consultant’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement. Consultant acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this Agreement constitute the CSD Agreement No. 2025-15

Form Approved April 2021 C-3

minimum coverage and policy limits required. Should any coverage carried by the Consultant or any subcontractor of any tier have limits of liability that exceed the limits or have broader coverage than required in this Agreement, those higher limits and that broader coverage are deemed to apply for the benefit of any person or organization included as an additional insured and those limits and broader coverage will become the required minimum limits and insurance coverage in all sections of this Agreement. Any insurance proceeds available to District in excess of the limits and coverages required by this Agreement, and which is applicable to a given loss, must be made available to District to compensate it for such losses.

13. Required Insurance for Subconsultants/Subcontractors . Consultant agrees to ensure that any subconsultants/subcontractors providing services under this Agreement provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant . Consultant agrees to review and monitor all such coverage and assumes responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement.

14. Right to Revise Insurance Specifications . District reserves the right to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant at least 90 days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant , the parties may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.

15. Timely Notice of Claims. Consultant must give District prompt notice of claims made of lawsuits initiated 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 insurance policies CSD Agreement No. 2025-15
