14 Project Understanding We understand that the City seeks a consultant to provide comprehensive revenue recovery and compliance services related to pipeline franchise and abandoned pipeline fees. The project requires a full audit and reconciliation of franchise fee payments, identification of unpermitted operators, and assessment of abandoned pipelines to ensure compliance with City code and recovery of unpaid revenues. Our approach will include thorough data analysis, operator outreach, documentation of findings, and close coordination with City departments to support accurate reporting, fee collection, and ongoing compliance oversight. Project Approach and Work Plan The City seeks a comprehensive pipeline franchise fee audit, compliance, and revenue recovery services, including (1) audit/reconciliation and recovery from current and former franchisees, (2) identification of unpermitted operators, and (3) abandoned pipeline compliance and fee recovery, with monthly and final briefings as tangible work products. Our approach below is structured to deliver precisely what the RFP stipulates and in the formats the City requires. Phase Duration (cumulative) Key Milestones / Outputs 0. Mobilization & Planning Weeks 1–3 Kickoff and data access; risk register; Project Plan & Reporting Templates delivered for City approval 1. Franchise Fee Audit & Recovery Weeks 3–18 Reconciliation model built; preliminary findings; operator meetings; recovery actions begin 2. Unpermitted Operator Identification (MRS/CDD-integrated) Weeks 4–20 Baseline from MRS/CDD maps; delta overlay and candidate list; targeted validation; outreach and onboarding 3. Abandoned Pipeline Compliance & Recovery Weeks 6–24 Abandonment evidence files; responsible party identified; fee determinations and recovery 4. Reporting & Close-Out Monthly; Week 24 Monthly Briefings; Final Briefing (maps, spreadsheets, collections summary) Phase 0: Mobilization & Planning (Weeks 1–3) In this phase, we will establish governance, communication, and security protocols; finalize reporting formats; confirm data sources; and sequence the three service tracks: franchise fee audit and recovery, identification of unpermitted operators, and abandoned-pipeline compliance and fee recovery. 1. Entrance Conference. We will begin with a formal entrance conference to establish communication protocols, introduce the project team, and clarify scope and cadence; we will confirm a single City Contract Officer, legal and Finance points of contact, and the meeting schedule.
15 2. Data Access: We will receive and inventory GIS pipeline layers, franchise agreements, and historic payment records; we will verify completeness and create a Data Inventory & Chain of Custody log. We will receive and review results from third-party mapping (MRS). 3. Reporting templates. We will provide Monthly and Final briefing templates, one-page narrative plus status tables and spreadsheets, as the City requested the consultant to propose the format. Phase 1: Pipeline Franchise Fee Audit and Recovery (Weeks 3–18) In this phase, we will reconcile payments from current and former franchisees to contract terms and City records, identify underpayments, document basis, and support recovery. 1. Agreement abstracting and control points. We will abstract each of the ~30 active agreements and known predecessors, fee basis, rates and escalators, effective/expiration dates, amendments, and special conditions, into a structured model and reference document that will be used as the authoritative reference for reconciliation. 2. Payment reconciliation and variance analysis. We will construct an operator-by-operator reconciliation workbook tying City receipts to each agreement’s fee formula; we will compute expected versus actual payments and generate traceable variance schedules. 3. Evidence development and quality review. We will test calculations, agree inputs to source records, cross-foot totals, and apply supervisory and engagement-quality reviews. 4. Operator engagement and collections support. With City approval, we will present findings to operators and support negotiation and collection consistent with franchise terms and City code; we will coordinate with Finance on billing and payment plans and maintain a correspondence and collections log. At the conclusion of this phase, we will summarize the findings by operator and period with amounts owed and evidence references, provide a correspondence log, and recovery status and amounts collected. Phase 2: Identification of Unpermitted Pipeline Operators (Weeks 4–20) During this phase, we will use MRS/CDD mapping as the authoritative baseline, validate mismatches, and drive outreach and onboarding so operators obtain the required franchise agreements under the Municipal Code. 1. Data-sharing and governance. We will establish a single source of truth by ingesting MRS’s current geospatial data for the City and the Community Development Department (CDD) planner’s map layers. In addition, we will agree on schema, metadata (date, scale, accuracy), and change-control so every feature is traceable to a specific version. We will hold a weekly sync with MRS/CDD to keep edits current and prevent duplicate field work.
16 2. Delta analysis and candidate list. Rather than remapping, we will perform a delta overlay: MRS, CDD assets vs. the City’s franchise roster. We will flag assets with no matching franchise, conflicting ownership, or ambiguous jurisdiction and each candidate will receive a confidence score and evidence bundle (map tile, attribute printout, and cross-reference). 3. Targeted validation. We will reserve field checks for conflict areas only (boundary crossings, ownership disputes, or missing as-builts). This aligns with the RFP’s allowance for possible field research while minimizing cost. 4. Outreach and onboarding. Using the validated candidate list, we will prepare evidence packets and contact operators; negotiations and compliance will be tethered to franchise terms and City code; we will coordinate with Legal, Public Works, Finance, and GIS to complete franchise onboarding. At the conclusion of this phase, we will provide a Final Briefing that packages (a) the approved MRS/CDD map as baseline, (b) a delta map and table of unpermitted/uncertain assets, and (c) a compliance log showing operator, estimated fees, contact history, and status. Phase 3: Abandoned Pipeline Compliance & Fee Recovery (Weeks 6–24) During this phase, we will identify abandoned pipelines, determine abandonment dates and responsible parties (including predecessors), and recover applicable fees. 1. Research and identification. We will analyze federal, state, and local mapping with City GIS to locate suspected abandoned segments and reconcile to historical franchise or right-of-way records. 2. Evidence files. For each candidate, we will compile an abandonment file (including maps, dates, ownership chain, photos/field notes where appropriate) that documents the basis for fees. 3. Fee computation and notice. We will compute obligations under City requirements, issue City-approved notices, and meet (in-person or remote depending on needs) with responsible parties to resolve payment. 4. Recovery tracking. We will track notices, invoices, receipts, and any payment plans in a collections log. At the conclusion of this phase, we will provide Monthly/Final spreadsheets documenting compliance status, amounts owed, dates contacted, correspondence, and collection outcomes.
17 Reporting Cadence and Formats Monthly Briefings. Each month, we will provide a one-page narrative on progress, risks, and next steps; we will attach status spreadsheets (ex. Audit/Recovery log (operator, period, variance type, amount owed/collected, bill number, contact dates, status) and Abandoned-lines log including segment ID, evidence summary, responsible party, billed/collected), correspondence logs, reconciliation schedules, and maps will be appended as needed. This fulfills the Monthly and Final Briefings specified in the Deliverables Table. Final Briefing. We will deliver a consolidated final package with an executive summary, geospatial exhibits for unpermitted and abandoned assets, operator-level reconciliation schedules, and a collections summary. In addition, editable spreadsheets and map layers will be provided for City use. Communications & Governance • Standing meetings. Bi-weekly working sessions with the City PM. • Ad-hoc technical meetings. With Finance, GIS, Legal, CDD, and if appropriate MRS. • Escalations. A concise issues log with owner and aging, material risks surfaced promptly under a “no-surprises” rule. • Operator meetings. We will prepare agendas and packets, the City will participate if legal/code interpretations or settlement terms are in question, with negotiations focused on franchise terms and City code. • Records & confidentiality. Workpapers will be retained to City standards. Work not deemed satisfactory will be revised without additional charge until accepted. Assumptions and City Inputs The following will be provided by the City to enable successful completion of the audit task: • Data access to payment records and franchise agreements • GIS layers • MRS study results and geospatial data • Copies of all known franchise agreements • Letters of introduction from City to be used during outreach to operators • City’s legal representation for code interpretations if necessary Optional Services (as requested) Training for City staff on ongoing audit/compliance procedures and use of reconciliation and tracking tools, possible per the Addendum, extended collections/onboarding support beyond the six-month base period is available.
18 Subcontractor List For this engagement, we will utilize sub consultant Marlin K. Brown, of the Bugle Group, an oil & gas operations and oil property brokerage firm. Marlin Brown is a seasoned Land professional with over four decades of experience spanning exploration, acquisitions, and operations across multiple U.S. regions. He has led land departments, managed independent ventures, and specializes in royalty reduction, due diligence, and brokering producing property transactions. A Certified Professional Landman and long-time member of the AAPL, Marlin has contributed to industry leadership, education, and publications throughout his career. For this audit Mr. Brown will serve as a specialist adviser on land, right-of-way, franchise route verification, chain-of-title, abandonment determinations, and operator outreach support. His specialized knowledge will contribute to the following tasks. 1. Verify franchise routes and assets. Crosswalk franchise agreement exhibits to City GIS, historic plats, and recorded instruments to confirm asset location, status (active/idle), and franchise applicability; create an operator-asset registry supporting audit and collections. 2. Conduct chain-of-title/ownership research. Identify current and predecessor owners, assignments, and successorship relevant to unpaid fees and abandoned-line liabilities; provide supporting documentation for City legal review. 3. Support abandonment determinations. Compile evidence of abandonment dates, physical status, and responsible parties; prepare concise evidence packets to underpin billing for abandoned-pipeline fees. 4. Assist with unpermitted-operator identification. Reconcile easements and crossings against the City’s franchise roster to flag suspected unpermitted operators and support outreach to obtain franchise agreements. 5. Participate in operator outreach/negotiations as a technical resource. Join City-led discussions to explain route/ownership evidence and fee computations; consistent with City direction, focus on franchise terms and City Code in any negotiation posture. 6. Provide expert input on right-of-way and condemnation issues if needed and help refine report templates for the monthly and final briefings (maps, correspondence logs, collection status).

City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant.

7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions 01007.0571 2067310.3 -13-
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, cost s, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercis e by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer.

In the event of City’s termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such 01007.0571 2067310.3 -15-
