Subject: Master Agreements with Consulting Firms to Provide Professional Services
Districts: All
Recommended Action

1. Adopt a City Council resolution approving 51 master agreements with consulting firms to provide professional services for an amount not to exceed $27,900,000.

2. Adopt a Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board of Directors resolution approving 25 master agreements with consulting firms to provide professional services for an amount not to exceed $15,100,000.

Executive Summary
The city and the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) maintain master agreements with consulting firms in a variety of disciplines to ensure timely access to professional services that support departmental and Capital Improvement Program projects. A master agreement acts as an umbrella for various smaller service agreements, allowing the city and the CMWD to assign tasks to qualified consulting firms. With the main terms already covered in the master agreement, as needs arise, only the specific details of each new task are negotiated.

These agreements are established with an initial term of three years, with the option to extend for up to two additional years, or portions thereof, at the discretion of the City Manager/Executive Manager. At the end of the initial term, the city evaluates whether to amend and extend the agreements or allow them to expire. This review process helps ensure continued best value to the city and the CMWD and a diverse pool of qualified consultants. The current master agreements are set to expire on Aug. 17, 2025, and Nov. 30, 2025.

Staff recommend that the City Council and the CMWD Board approve a new set of 76 master agreements with consulting firms to provide professional services to the city and the CMWD, in a total amount not to exceed $43,000,000. The master agreements for horizontal construction management and inspection, materials testing, and vertical construction management and inspection will be effective Aug. 18, 2025, through Aug. 17, 2028, and the master agreements June 24, 2025

for all other disciplines will be effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. These master agreements will have two additional one-year extensions or portions thereof at the discretion of the City Manager/Executive Manager, for a total term of five years each.

The total compensation amount stated in each master agreement is the amount staff have authorization to use to assign specific tasks to the vendors on an as-needed basis, with fixed rates. The actual amount spent under these agreements is also subject to annual appropriations from the City Council and the CMWD Board, as well as the City Council and the CMWD Board budgets approved for individual construction projects.

Explanation & Analysis
The city and the CMWD currently hold 18 master agreements that expire on Aug. 17, 2025, and 49 master agreements that expire on Nov. 30, 2025. The City Council and the CMWD Board approved a total of 50 master agreements for professional services in November 2024, as the first phase of approvals for master agreements. This phased approach allows staff to balance the workload of processing agreements for the disciplines that the city and the CMWD are likely to require in the coming years.

This phase of the bidding process was conducted in two separate procurements. Staff posted one request for qualifications for 18 disciplines on the city's website on Nov. 19, 2024, and another request for qualifications for three construction-related disciplines on March 5, 2025.

The first solicitation sent notifications to 1,487 registered potential firms, and the second to 1,273 firms. To encourage a more diverse pool of available consultants, each firm was limited to bidding on a maximum of three disciplines. Statements of qualifications were accepted for the first solicitation through Dec. 31, 2024, and for the second solicitation through Apr. 8, 2025.

Exhibit 3 provides a summary of the number of submissions received for each discipline. The following table shows a summary of agreements by discipline.

The full list of agreements is provided as Exhibit 4.

Fiscal Analysis
Each master agreement establishes an upper not-to-exceed limit for the duration of the agreement term, which if fully extended, would be five years. The consultant’s rate schedules are fixed for the initial three-year term, after which the consultant may request an increase, subject to the negotiated escalator in the master agreement and approval by the city.

The actual values of the services performed under each master agreement are established on an individual project task description and fee allotment basis, or project tasks. Project tasks are authorized by city staff on an as-needed basis, and they are constrained by the availability of project funding, which is appropriated annually through regular budgeting processes. Finally, the master agreements provide a 30-day termination for convenience provision, which allows the city or the CMWD to terminate the agreement, after notice, for any reason.

Next Steps
Upon the City Council and the CMWD Board’s approvals, staff will finalize execution of the master agreements. Staff will execute project task description and fee allotments for specific project tasks as needed with firms awarded master agreements in an appropriate discipline.

As project-specific work tasks are identified, individual allotments are negotiated with the appropriate consultant based on the hourly rates established in the master agreement. Each allotment will include an exhibit that defines a detailed scope of services which corresponds to the type of work defined for each master agreement and a total cost based on the approved hourly rates.

Extensions of all master agreements will be at the discretion of the City Manager/Executive Manager and based on a satisfactory review of the consultant’s performance, city or CMWD needs and availability of appropriated funds.

3. TERM
The term of this Agreement will be effective for a period of three (3) years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. The City Manager may amend the Agreement to extend it for two (2) additional one (1) year(s) periods or parts of a year.

2 documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by City 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, City shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for City, the City Manager or Director, 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 the City 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, the City 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 the City 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 the City must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

6. PUBLIC WORKS

6.1 Prevailing Wage Rates. Any construction, alteration, demolition, repair, and maintenance work, including work performed during design and preconstruction such as inspection and land surveying work, cumulatively exceeding $1,000 and performed under this Agreement constitute “public works” under California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. and are subject to state prevailing wage laws. The general prevailing rate of wages, for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract, shall be those as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Section 1770, 1773 and 1773.1 of the California Labor Code. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the California Labor Code, a current copy of applicable wage rates is on file in the office of the City Engineer. Contractor shall not pay less than the specified prevailing rates of wages to all such workers employed by Contractor in the execution of the Agreement. Contractor and any subcontractors shall comply with Section 1776 of the California Labor Code, which generally requires keeping accurate payroll records, verifying and certifying payroll records, and making them available for inspection. Contractor shall require any subcontractors to comply with Section 1776.

6.2 DIR Registration. California Labor Code Section 1725.5 requires the Contractor and any subcontractor performing any public work under this Agreement to be currently registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in California Labor Code Section 1725.5. California June 24, 2025
Item #6 Page 10 of 1064
Docusign Envelope ID: 80BEFA31-391D-4BB6-A11B-15AE05F10CD2 PSA25-3726CA
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 City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City 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 City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

4 9. CONTRACTOR EVALUATIONS
Work performed under this Master Services Agreement may be subject to the City’s contractor evaluation program. Prior to the release of any task orders, the Contractor will be notified of the program requirements and will receive a copy of the evaluation criteria and process. The Contractor’s performance may be evaluated and the results will be considered for future task orders or agreements.

10. SUBCONTRACTING
Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City 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 City. 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 City.

11. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.

12. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work described in this Agreement and Task Descriptions caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.

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 City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation program 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.

13. INSURANCE
Contractor will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance carrier is required to have a current June 24, 2025

5 Best's Key Rating of not less than "A-:VII"; OR with a surplus line insurer on the State of California’s List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers (LASLI) with a rating in the latest Best’s Key Rating Guide of at least “A:X”; OR an alien non-admitted insurer listed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) latest quarterly listings report.

13.1 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Contractor's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Contractor. If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.

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 City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City 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 City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City 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 City. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City 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 City. 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 City.

11. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.

12. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work described in this Agreement and Task Descriptions caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.

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 City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation program 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.

City, its officers, agents and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Contractor. If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.

The full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to the City as an additional insured.

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 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 City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City 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 City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

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.

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.

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 City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City 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 City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

Contractor’s obligations with respect to any project granted to Contractor under this Agreement will be as specified in the Task Description for the project (see paragraph 5 below).

2. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE
While performing the Services, Contractor will exercise the reasonable professional care and skill customarily exercised by reputable members of Contractor's profession practicing in the Metropolitan Southern California area and will use reasonable diligen ce and best judgment while exercising its professional skill and expertise.

3. TERM
The term of this Agreement will be effective for a period of three (3) years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. The City Manager may amend the Agreement to extend it for two (2) additional one (1) year(s) periods or parts of a year.

PSA25-3739CA
2 documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by City 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, City shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for City, the City Manager or Director, 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 the City 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, the City 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 the City opt to extend the Master Services Agreement.

The justification accompanying the written request should detail the rationale for the requ ested 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 the City must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

6. PUBLIC WORKS

6.1 Prevailing Wage Rates. Any construction, alteration, demolition, repair, and maintenance work, including work performed during design and preconstruction such as inspection and land surveying work, cumulatively exceeding $1,000 and performed under this Agreement constitute “public works” under California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. and are subject to state prevailing wage laws. The general prevailing rate of wages, for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract, shall be those as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to the S ection 1770, 1773 and 1773.1 of the California Labor Code. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the California Labor C ode, a current copy of applicable wage rates is on file in the office of the City Engineer. Contractor shall not pay less than the specified prevailing rates of wages to all such workers employed by Contractor in the execution of the Agreement. Contractor and any subcontractors shall comply with Section 1776 of the California Labor Code, which generally requires keeping accurate payroll records, verifying and certifying payroll records, and making them available for inspection. Contractor shall require any subcontractors to comply with Section 1776.

6.2 DIR Registration. California Labor Code Section 1725.5 requires the Contractor and any subcontractor performing any public work under this Agreement to be currently registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in California Labor Code Section 1725.5.

Docusign Envelope ID: 80BEFA31-391D-4BB6-A11B-15AE05F10CD2 PSA25-3739CA
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 docum ents 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 it ems. 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 City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City 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 City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

4 9. CONTRACTOR EVALUATIONS
Work performed under this Master Services Agreement may be subject to the City’s contractor evaluation program. Prior to the release of any task orders, the Contractor will be notified of the program requirements and will receive a copy of the evaluation criteria and process. The Contractor’s performance may be evaluated and the results will be considered for future task orders or agreements.

10. SUBCONTRACTING
Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City 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 City. 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 City.

11. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.

12. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work described in this Agreement and Task Descriptions caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.

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 S ection 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 City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self- administered workers’ compensation program 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.

13. INSURANCE
Contractor will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance carrier is required to have a current Docusign Envelope ID: 7CB624CD-BE9F-4679-8B0C-CC86D961658A June 24, 2025

5 Best's Key Rating of not less than "A-:VII"; OR with a surplus line insurer on the State of California’s List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers (LASLI) with a rating in the latest Best’s Key Rating Guide of at least “A:X”; OR an alien non-admitted insurer listed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) latest quarterly listings report.

13.1 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Contractor's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Contractor. If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.

The full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to the City as an additional insured.

13.1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance. Insurance written on an “occurrence” basis, including personal and advertising injury, with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.

13.1.2 Automobile Liability. (If the use of an automobile is involved for Contractor's work for City). $2,000,000 combined single-limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

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 the City 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, the City 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 the City 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 the City must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

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 City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self- administered workers’ compensation program 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.

While performing the Services, Contractor will exercise the reasonable professional care and skill customarily exercised by reputable members of Contractor's profession practicing in the Metropolitan Southern California area and will use reasonable diligence and best judgment while exercising its professional skill and expertise.

3. TERM
The term of this Agreement will be effective for a period of three (3) years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. The City Manager may amend the Agreement to extend it for two (2) additional one (1) year(s) periods or parts of a year.

PSA25-3741CA
2 documented and substantiated unforeseeable and unavoidable delays not caused by a lack of foresight on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by City 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, City shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for City, the City Manager or Director, 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 the City 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, the City 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 the City 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 the City must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

6. PUBLIC WORKS

6.1 Prevailing Wage Rates. Any construction, alteration, demolition, repair, and maintenance work, including work performed during design and preconstruction such as inspection and land surveying work, cumulatively exceeding $1,000 and performed under this Agreement constitute “public works” under California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. and are subject to state prevailing wage laws. The general prevailing rate of wages, for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract, shall be those as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Section 1770, 1773 and 1773.1 of the California Labor Code. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the California Labor Code, a current copy of applicable wage rates is on file in the office of the City Engineer.

Contractor shall require any subcontractors to comply with Section 1776.

6.2 DIR Registration. California Labor Code Section 1725.5 requires the Contractor and any subcontractor performing any public work under this Agreement to be currently registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in California Labor Code Section 1725.5.

Docusign Envelope ID: 80BEFA31-391D-4BB6-A11B-15AE05F10CD2 PSA25-3741CA
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 City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City 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 City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City 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 City. 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 City.

11. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.

12. INDEMNIFICATION

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 City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation program 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.

If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the False Claims Act, it is entitled to recover its litigation costs, including attorney's fees. Contractor acknowledges that the filing of a false claim may subject Contractor to an administrative debarment proceeding as the result of which Contractor may be prevented to act as a Contractor on any public work or improvement for a period of up to five (5) years. Contractor acknowledges debarment by another jurisdiction is grounds for City to terminate this Agreement.

26. JURISDICTIONS AND VENUE

3. TERM
The term of this Agreement will be effective for a period of three (3) years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. The City Manager may amend the Agreement to extend it for two (2) additional one (1) year(s) periods or parts of a year.

PSA25-3742CA
2 on the part of Contractor, or delays caused by City 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, City shall prepare a Project Task Description and Fee Allotment ("Task Description") which, upon signature by Contractor and for City, the City Manager or Director, 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 the City 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, the City 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 the City 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 the City must be documented in an amendment to the Agreement.

6. PUBLIC WORKS

6.1 Prevailing Wage Rates. Any construction, alteration, demolition, repair, and maintenance work, including work performed during design and preconstruction such as inspection and land surveying work, cumulatively exceeding $1,000 and performed under this Agreement constitute “public works” under California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. and are subject to state prevailing wage laws. The general prevailing rate of wages, for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract, shall be those as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Section 1770, 1773 and 1773.1 of the California Labor Code. Pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the California Labor Code, a current copy of applicable wage rates is on file in the office of the City Engineer. Contractor shall not pay less than the specified prevailing rates of wages to all such workers employed by Contractor in the execution of the Agreement. Contractor and any subcontractors shall comply with Section 1776 of the California Labor Code, which generally requires keeping accurate payroll records, verifying and certifying payroll records, and making them available for inspection. Contractor shall require any subcontractors to comply with Section 1776.

6.2 DIR Registration. California Labor Code Section 1725.5 requires the Contractor and any subcontractor performing any public work under this Agreement to be currently registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as specified in California Labor Code Section 1725.5.

Item #6 Page 198 of 1064
Docusign Envelope ID: 80BEFA31-391D-4BB6-A11B-15AE05F10CD2 PSA25-3742CA
3 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 City. Contractor will be under control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes.

The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City 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 City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor.

4 9. CONTRACTOR EVALUATIONS
Work performed under this Master Services Agreement may be subject to the City’s contractor evaluation program. Prior to the release of any task orders, the Contractor will be notified of the program requirements and will receive a copy of the evaluation criteria and process. The Contractor’s performance may be evaluated and the results will be considered for future task orders or agreements.

10. SUBCONTRACTING
Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City 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 City. 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 City.

11. OTHER CONTRACTORS
The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services.

12. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work described in this Agreement and Task Descriptions caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.

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 City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation program 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.

13. INSURANCE
Contractor will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance carrier is required to have a current June 24, 2025

13.1 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Contractor's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Contractor. If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.

The full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to the City as an additional insured.

13.1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance. Insurance written on an “occurrence” basis, including personal and advertising injury, with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.

13.1.2 Automobile Liability. (If the use of an automobile is involved for Contractor's work for City). $2,000,000 combined single-limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

13.1.3 Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability. Workers' Compensation limits as required by the California Labor Code. Workers' Compensation will not be required if Contractor has no employees and provides, to City's satisfaction, a declaration stating this.

13.1.4 Professional Liability. Errors and omissions liability appropriate to Contractor’s profession with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. Coverage must be maintained for a period of five years following the date of completion of the work.

13.2. Additional Provisions. Contractor will ensure that the policies of insurance required under this Agreement contain, or are endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

13.2.1 The City will be named as an additional insured on Commercial General Liability which shall provide primary coverage to the City.

13.2.2 Contractor will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage.

13.2.3 If Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and will be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage will be available to the City.”

13.2.4 This insurance will be in force during the life of the Agreement and any extensions of it and will not be canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to City sent by certified mail pursuant to the Notice provisions of this Agreement.
