certain services provided in connection with a public works project.

However, the City hereby reserves the right to require the Consultant to obtain and provide a payment bond for some or all of the services provided by the Consultant under this Agreement.
If the City determines that a payment bond is required for the services pursuant to Civil Code Section 9550 or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, Consultant shall execute and provide to City a payment bond in an amount required by the City and in a form provided or approved by the City.

If the Services involve federal funds or otherwise require compliance with the Davis-Bacon Fair Labor Standards Act, the Consultant and its subconsultants shall comply with the higher of the state or federal prevailing wage rates, and the “Prevailing Wage Laws” shall be deemed to include such federal wages laws. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the Total Compensation is $1,000 or more, Consultant and its subconsultants shall fully comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws for their employees and any others to whom such laws are applicable. Consultant and its subconsultants shall also be responsible for any and all violations and fines imposed on them pursuant to the Prevailing Wage Laws. Pursuant to SB 854, which amended the Prevailing Wage Laws, this Agreement would also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”).

In the alternative, Consultant may obtain a copy of the prevailing wages from the City’s representative. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Consultant.
3.4 Termination of Agreement.

EXHIBIT “A”
SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1: PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Constructability Review
During the design process, the Consultant shall perform extensive constructability reviews of 90% of construction drawings. The Consultant shall evaluate key aspects of the design with each review, with particular attention paid to those items that can result in added cost, extended time, or compromised value.
In reviewing 90% Construction Documents, the Consultant shall drill down into the project's critical details and look for apparent discrepancies such as missing call-outs, flawed notes, and other items. The Consultant shall search for inconsistencies such as civil and MEP point of connection elevations, waterproofing details and drainage, heat load orientation, framing coordination issues, and countless other pertinent information.
Finally, the key to the usefulness of reviews is in the use of Bluebeam technology. This tool allows for the digital evaluation of the drawings, highlighting the details in question and producing a report that is easy to understand and actionable. Utilizing this tool with our hands-on field experience allows the Consultant to produce the highest quality of constructability reviews.
Preconstruction Scope Enhancements: In addition to the scope described in the RFP, the Consultant shall include the following scope enhancements which shall bring added value to the City and success to the project overall.
Project Budgeting
Given the Consultant’s experience delivering turnkey public development projects, where the Consultant is responsible for financing the project, the Consultant shall provide the City with comprehensive budgeting tools that shall allow the project to benefit from a comprehensive Master Budget. The Consultant shall provide construction cost estimates and identify unknown costs that must be incorporated into the project for its success.
Project Schedule
Schedule management and efficient construction production rely on multiple factors; The Consultant shall establish protocol. The Consultant shall produce a comprehensive and detailed project schedule that anticipates and includes all key stages and activities of a project. This schedule shall include, but is not limited to; design iterations, design review times, permitting phases, Contractor prequalification (if desired), bidding, contracts and insurance, phases of construction, FF&E installations, utility connections, IT installations, punch list, commissioning, and schedule contingency. This schedule shall include all aspects of the project including but not limited to: design iterations, design review times, permitting phases, Contractor prequalification (if desired), bidding, contracts and insurance, phases of construction, City installations, utility connections, IT installations, punch list, commissioning, and schedule contingency.

Quality Assurance Methods
The Consultant shall employ a robust quality assurance program that is project-specific and ensures the project is constructed per the plans and specifications and provides the highest value to the City. This is achieved by utilizing the following tasks:
Coordinate Testing & Inspections
The Consultant teamed with Geocon West to provide Materials Testing & Inspection, as well as HAZMAT Inspections. Through this teaming approach, the Consultant shall coordinate the delivery of testing and inspections as required by the plans and specifications, specifically as it pertains to the criteria listed in the Structural notes. In doing so, The Consultant and Geocon West shall work closely with the Contractor to ensure that work is ready for inspection in the field, failed inspections are documented and communicated to the field, and when necessary, remediation measures are enforced such that all failed inspections are rectified.
Daily QA/QC Activities
In addition to the Special Inspections, the Consultant shall perform daily inspections of all work performed in the field to ensure the installations are performed in a manner that achieves the necessary standards and requirements of the project.
