The City/CMWD may schedule or reschedule work on a same day basis if a technician is available. The City/CMWD will not be held liable for any test cancellation that occurred at least two (2) hours prior to the scheduled time. The City/CMWD will only pay for time spent on site; no charges for mileage or travel time. Rates should be inclusive of vehicle usage and administrative time, which includes coordination, scheduling, billing, etc. The cost of each test performed will also be an inclusive rate that includes vehicle usage, the test, the tools needed to perform the test, the report, pickup and drop off. Time will be billed in 2-hour increments with a 2-hour minimum.
Invoices for services are expected to be reviewed for accuracy before being submitted to the City/CMWD.
If the use of subcontractors is approved by the City/CMWD, they shall be billed at cost plus no more than 10%.
Compaction test reports will be made available in the field at the time of testing where sampling for maximum densities was made available two (2) days prior to testing of soils and aggregates, and the same day for asphalt concrete.

Upon receipt of a written request from the Contractor, CMWD may consider approving a rate schedule increase. Rate schedule increases will be considered for each anniversary of the Agreement effective date after the initial three-year term. An increase to the rate schedule will be calculated based on the proceeding 12-month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, San Diego Area, for All Urban Customers (CPI-U), as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or 5.0%, whichever is lower. If the CPI-U is a negative number, then the rate schedule will not be adjusted for that year. The Contractor must submit a request and justification to increase the rate schedule at least sixty days prior to the anniversary of the effective date, assuming CMWD opt to extend the Master Services Agreement.
The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or
5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by CMWD must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

7. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the Owner’s Procore (www.procore.com) online project management and document control platform. The intent of utilizing Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification- subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team.

It is recommended that the Contractor provide mobile access for Windows, iOS located at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/procore-construction-management/id374930542 or Android devices located at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procore.activities with the Procore App installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve Contractor of any other requirements as may be specified in this Agreement or Task Descriptions.
8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of CMWD.

The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of CMWD for any purposes.
The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. CMWD will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. CMWD will not be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify CMWD and the City of Carlsbad within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which CMWD may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement.

7. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the Owner’s Procore (www.procore.com) online project management and document control platform. The intent of utilizing Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification- subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to regularly check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no cost to the Contractor for use of Procore.
It is recommended that the Contractor provide mobile access for Windows, iOS located at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/procore-construction-management/id374930542 or Android devices located at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procore.activities with the Procore App installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve Contractor of any other requirements as may be specified in this Agreement or Task Descriptions.
8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of CMWD. Contractor will be under the control of CMWD only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with CMWD as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of CMWD for any purposes.
The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. CMWD will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. CMWD will not be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify CMWD and the City of Carlsbad within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which CMWD may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement.

An increase to the rate schedule will be calculated based on the proceeding 12-month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, San Diego Area, for All Urban Customers (CPI-U), as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or 5.0%, whichever is lower. If the CPI -U is a negative number, then the rate schedule will not be adjusted for that year. The Contractor must submit a request and justification to increase the rate schedule at least sixty days prior to the anniversary of the effective date, assuming CMWD opt to extend the Master Services Agreement.
The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or
5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by CMWD must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

2 Manager as authorized by the Executive Manager. The Executive Manager or General Manager will give allowance for documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by CMWD inaction or other agencies' lack of timely action. In no event shall a specific Task Description exceed the term of this Agreement.
5. COMPENSATION
The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). Fees will be paid on a project-by-project basis and will be based on Contractor’s Schedule of Rates specified in Exhibit “A”. Payment terms are Net 30 unless otherwise provided in Exhibit “A”. Payment terms are Net 30 unless otherwise provided in Exhibit “A” or agreed to in writing by the parties. Prior to initiation of any project work by Contractor, CMWD shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for CMWD, the Executive Manager or General Manager, will be considered a part of this Agreement. The Task Description will include a detailed scope of services for the particular project being considered and a statement of Contractor's fee to complete the project in accordance with the specified scope of services.
The Task Description will also include a description of the method of payment and will be based upon an hourly rate, percentage of project complete, completion of specific project tasks or a combination of these.
If CMWD elects to extend the term of the Master Services Agreement, adjustments to the rate schedule may be permitted. Upon receipt of a written request from the Contractor, CMWD may consider approving a rate schedule increase. Rate schedule increases will be considered for each anniversary of the Agreement effective date after the initial three-year term. An increase to the rate schedule will be calculated based on the proceeding 12-month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, San Diego Area, for All Urban Customers (CPI-U), as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or 5.0%, whichever is lower. If the CPI-U is a negative number, then the rate schedule will not be adjusted for that year. The Contractor must submit a request and justification to increase the rate schedule at least sixty days prior to the anniversary of the effective date, assuming CMWD opt to extend the Master Services Agreement.
The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or
5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by CMWD must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

7. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the Owner’s Procore (www.procore.com) online project management and document control platform. The intent of utilizing Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification- subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to regularly check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no cost to the Contractor for use of Procore.
It is recommended that the Contractor provide mobile access for Windows, iOS located at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/procore-construction-management/id374930542 or Android devices located at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procore.activities with the Procore App installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve Contractor of any other requirements as may be specified in this Agreement or Task Descriptions.
8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of CMWD. Contractor will be under the control of CMWD only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with CMWD as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of CMWD for any purposes.
The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. CMWD will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. CMWD will not be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify CMWD and the City of Carlsbad within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which CMWD may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At CMWD’s election, CMWD may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

10. SUBCONTRACTING
Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of CMWD. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to CMWD for the acts and omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor.
Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and CMWD. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Contractor's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by CMWD.
11. OTHER CONTRACTORS

If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under California Civil Code Section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by California Civil Code Section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated in this Agreement, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, and, upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction. Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorneys fee, cost or expense CMWD or the City of Carlsbad incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under CMWD’s self-administered workers’ compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.

2 allowance for documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by CMWD inaction or other agencies' lack of timely action. In no event shall a specific Task Description exceed the term of this Agreement.
5. COMPENSATION
The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed f hundred thousand dollars ($ 00,000). Fees will be paid on a project-by-project basis and will be based on Contractor’s Schedule of Rates specified in Exhibit “A”. Payment terms are Net 30 unless otherwise provided in Exhibit “A”.

Prior to initiation of any project work by Contractor, CMWD shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for CMWD, the Executive Manager or General Manager, will be considered a part of this Agreement. The Task Description will include a detailed scope of services for the particular project being considered and a statement of Contractor's fee to complete the project in accordance with the specified scope of services.

Upon receipt of a written request from the Contractor, CMWD may consider approving a rate schedule increase. Rate schedule increases will be considered for each anniversary of the Agreement effective date after the initial three-year term.

The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or
5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by CMWD must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

7. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the Owner’s Procore (www.procore.com) online project management and document control platform. The intent of utilizing Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification- subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to regularly check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no cost to the Contractor for use of Procore.
It is recommended that the Contractor provide mobile access for Windows, iOS located at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/procore-construction-management/id374930542 or Android devices located at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procore.activities with the Procore App installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve Contractor of any other requirements as may be specified in this Agreement or Task Descriptions.
8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of CMWD. Contractor will be under the control of CMWD only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with CMWD as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of CMWD for any purposes.
The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. CMWD will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. CMWD will not be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify CMWD and the City of Carlsbad within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which CMWD may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At CMWD’s election, CMWD may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

10. SUBCONTRACTING
Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of CMWD. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to CMWD for the acts and omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor.
Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and CMWD. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Contractor's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by CMWD.

Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorneys fee, cost or expense CMWD or the City of Carlsbad incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under CMWD’s self-administered workers’ compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.

2 allowance for documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by CMWD inaction or other agencies' lack of timely action. In no event shall a specific Task Description exceed the term of this Agreement.
5. COMPENSATION
The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000). Fees will be paid on a project-by-project basis and will be based on Contractor’s Schedule of Rates specified in Exhibit “A”. Payment terms are Net 30 unless otherwise provided in Exhibit “A”. Payment terms are Net 30 unless otherwise provided in Exhibit “A” or agreed to in writing by the parties. Prior to initiation of any project work by Contractor, CMWD shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for CMWD, the Executive Manager or General Manager, will be considered a part of this Agreement. The Task Description will include a detailed scope of services for the particular project being considered and a statement of Contractor's fee to complete the project in accordance with the specified scope of services.

An increase to the rate schedule will be calculated based on the proceeding 12-month percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, San Diego Area, for All Urban Customers (CPI-U), as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or 5.0%, whichever is lower. If the CPI-U is a negative number, then the rate schedule will not be adjusted for that year. The Contractor must submit a request and justification to increase the rate schedule at least sixty days prior to the anniversary of the effective date, assuming CMWD opt to extend the Master Services Agreement.
The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requested adjustment, and the requested adjustment amount, supported by relevant documentation (e.g., CPI-U or
5.0%, whichever is less). Approval of rate schedule increase by CMWD must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

3 Labor Code Section 1771.1 provides that a contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to engage in the performance of any contract for public work unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1725.5. Prior to the performance of public work by any subcontractor under this Agreement, Contractor must furnish City with the subcontractor's current DIR registration number.
7. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Procore Project Management and Collaboration System. This project may utilize the Owner’s Procore (www.procore.com) online project management and document control platform. The intent of utilizing Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification- subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to regularly check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no cost to the Contractor for use of Procore.
It is recommended that the Contractor provide mobile access for Windows, iOS located at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/procore-construction-management/id374930542 or Android devices located at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procore.activities with the Procore App installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve Contractor of any other requirements as may be specified in this Agreement or Task Descriptions.
8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of CMWD. Contractor will be under the control of CMWD only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with CMWD as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of CMWD for any purposes.
The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. CMWD will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. CMWD will not be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify CMWD and the City of Carlsbad within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which CMWD may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At CMWD’s election, CMWD may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to CMWD for the acts and omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor.
Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and CMWD. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors.

If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under California Civil Code Section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by California Civil Code Section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated in this Agreement, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, and, upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction. Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorneys fee, cost or expense CMWD or the City of Carlsbad incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under CMWD’s self-administered workers’ compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
