TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Delegation of Authority for the Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing and the Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch to Quarry Lane School Projects During Council Recess
Prepared by: Vatsal Patel, Assistant Public Works Director/City Engineer EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider delegating authority to the City Manager to approve the plans and specifications and to award and execute contracts for the Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP Nos. ST0117 and ST0517, as well as the Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch Drive to Quarry Lane School Project, CIP No. ST0119, during the City Council recess between June 17, 2026 and July 20, 2026. Actions taken during the recess will be reported to the City Council at the July 21, 2026 regularly scheduled meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the following: 1) Resolution Delegating Authority to the City Manager to Approve the Plans and Specifications and to Award and Execute the Construction Contract for the Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP Nos. ST0117 & ST0517, During City Council Recess; and 2) Resolution Delegating Authority to the City Manager to Approve the Plans and Specifications and to Award and Execute the Construction Contract for Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch Drive to Quarry Lane School Project, CIP No. ST0119, During City Council Recess.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated construction cost for the Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing Project is between $2,200,000 and $2,300,000 and Staff recommends a construction contingency of $230,000 (approximately 10 percent) to facilitate change orders for unforeseen construction issues, bringing the total potential construction cost to $2,530,000.
34
The estimated construction cost for the Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch Drive to Quarry Lane School Project is between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 and Staff recommends a construction contingency of $1,050,000 (approximately 15 percent) to facilitate change orders for unforeseen construction issues, bringing the total potential construction cost to $8,050,000.
Based on the estimated construction costs, sufficient funds are available in the adopted 2026- 2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for CIP Nos. ST0117, ST0517, and ST0119, and the Adopted Public Works Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Any contract award will be limited to the available budgeted funds.
DESCRIPTION:
Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing Project (Resurfacing Project)
The Resurfacing Project will be completed under the Annual Street Resurfacing and Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Projects, CIP Project Nos. ST0117 and ST0517.
The Resurfacing Project will reconstruct curb ramps, curb and gutter and pavement restriping on the following street segments: Clifden Court, Galway Court, Castilian Road, Padre Way, Peppertree Road, Shannon Avenue, York Drive, Ann Arbor Way, Penn Drive, Brighton Drive, Ione Court, Ione Way, Langmuir Court, Langmuir Lane, Mansfield Avenue, Newcastle Lane, Rosita Court, and Gleason Drive.
The Resurfacing Project is currently out to bid at the time of writing this Staff Report.
Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch Drive to Quarry Lane School (Road Improvements Project)
The Road Improvements Project, CIP No. ST0119, will widen Tassajara Road to a four-lane arterial standard with bike lanes, sidewalks, landscaped median, stormwater treatment areas, pavement restriping and other associated street improvements.
The Road Improvements Project is currently out to bid at the time of writing this Staff Report.
Delegation of Authority
Dublin Municipal Code Chapters 2.36.090 and 2.36.160, Contracts and Purchasing, requires that the City Council approve any contracts for public projects that exceed $220,000. However, Dublin Municipal Code Section 2.04.190, states: “It shall be the duty of the City Manager to perform such other duties and exercise such other powers as may be delegated from time to time by ordinance or other official action of the City Council.” Barring unforeseen circumstances or bid protests, it is anticipated that both projects will be scheduled to receive, open, and read aloud bids, as well as award and execute contracts during the City Council recess.
35
The City Council delegation of authority to the City Manager will allow the projects to continue progressing towards construction without having to wait until the City Council meeting of July 21, 2026. Bid results, references, and necessary licenses will be reviewed by Staff who will then recommend that the City Manager award the construction contracts to the lowest responsive, responsible bidders. Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council exercise its authority and adopt resolutions to delegate its approval to the City Manager during the City Council recess, provided the compensation amounts are within the budget already approved by the City Council and that all other competitive bidding procedures are satisfied, as appropriate.
If the City Council delegates authority, a report summarizing actions that occurred during the City Council recess will be included in the agenda for the July 21, 2026 City Council meeting.
Both projects are exempt under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 5: Long-Term Infrastructure and Sustainability Investment Objective 5: Focus on major street improvements to assist in improving safety and traffic movement, including Village Parkway, Tassajara Road, and the Dublin Boulevard extension.
Objective D: Evaluate options for a sustainable pavement management program.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Item 5.2: Delegation of Authority for the Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing and Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch to Quarry Lane School Projects During City Council Recess
The June 16, 2026 City Council Meeting includes an item delegating authority for the Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing and Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch to Quarry Lane School Projects During City Council Recess.
After the agenda was posted, Staff identified an error in the staff report. It was erroneously stated that both projects are exempt under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines.
The Pedestrian and ADA Infrastructure Improvements for the Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP No. ST0117 & ST0517 is exempt under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines.
The Tassajara Road Improvements - North Dublin Ranch to Quarry Lane School Project, CIP No.
ST0119, is not categorically exempt from CEQA.
In April 2020 the City filed a Notice of Determination for the January 2020 Initial Study/CEQA Addendum to the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report, as well as the 2004 Tassajara Road/Fallon Road Ultimate Right-of-Way Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The CEQA Addendum concluded that the Project would not result in any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts. Accordingly, the Project remains subject to the applicable mitigation measures identified in the previously certified environmental documents.

CITY COUNCIL
DATE: June 16, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of an Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27 Prepared by: Darlynn Haas, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider adopting the annual Appropriations Limit in accordance with state law. The City of Dublin’s Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $553,102,803, which exceeds the City’s related appropriations by $448,328,005.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Each year, the City Council is required by state law to adopt an Appropriations Limit, also known as the Gann Limit or Proposition 4 Limit, in conjunction with the annual budget process.
The Appropriations Limit caps state and local government spending on tax-funded services at a base level, which was set with the 1978-79 fiscal year and is adjusted each year for population growth and inflation. The Appropriations Limit’s restriction applies to appropriating monies categorized as “Proceeds of Taxes.” The Appropriations Limit is carried forward each year and is subject to an adjustment in accordance with a specified formula (the City has the discretion to choose one factor from each list) that includes the following factors:
1. Change in the City of Dublin population or change in Alameda County population.
2. Change in state per capita personal income or change in “Non-residential New Construction.”
55
Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Appropriations Limit
Staff has prepared the calculations necessary to adopt the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27 in accordance with state law and with the Uniform Guidelines of the League of California Cities. The discretionary factors selected in calculating the 2026-27 Appropriations Limit are: (1) Change in the County population; and (2) Change in state per capita personal income.
The first discretionary factor relates to population change. Agencies may either select the change in the city population or county population. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City of Dublin experienced a population decrease of 0.19 percent compared to a smaller decrease of 0.10 percent in Alameda County (as reported by the California Department of Finance’s Price and Population Information). Since the County’s population change is the smaller decline, it was selected.
The second discretionary factor relates to state per capita personal income or local assessed valuation of “Non-residential New Construction.” According to the California Department of Finance, the per capita personal income increased by 4.95 percent. In contrast, data from the Alameda County Assessor showed a 1.24 percent increase attributable to Non-residential New Construction in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Since the per capita personal income growth rate was higher, it was selected as the second adjustment factor.
Based on the selected adjustment factors, the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27 has been calculated at $553,102,803. This reflects an applied adjustment factor of 1.0485 to the prior year’s Appropriations Limit. The Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget includes $104,774,798 in appropriations subject to the Appropriations Limit, categorized as “Proceeds of Taxes.” As a result, the appropriations remain below the allowed Appropriations Limit, with a margin of $448,328,005.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A Public Notice was posted on June 1, 2026, stating that the factors used in calculating the Appropriations Limit were available for public review. The notice was also displayed on the City’s website, and the information is contained in the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-
27. The City Council Agenda was also posted.

SUBJECT: Agreement with Lynx Technologies, Inc. for Geographic Information System Consulting Services
Prepared by: Kira Evers, GIS Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an agreement with Lynx Technologies, Inc. for Geographic Information System Consulting Services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Agreement with Lynx Technologies, Inc. for GIS Consulting Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Adequate funding for the agreement with Lynx Technologies, Inc. for Geographic Information System Consulting Services was included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget and Fiscal Year 2027-28 forecast. The total agreement cost over the three-year term shall not exceed $300,000.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The City of Dublin uses a Geographic Information System (GIS) to support a wide range of municipal operations, including public works infrastructure management, land use and zoning, public safety, and community development. GIS technology enables City staff to visualize, analyze, and manage spatial data across departments. Maintaining a reliable and current enterprise GIS environment is essential to effective City operations.
On July 1, 2021 the City Council approved a three-year Consulting Services Agreement with Lynx Technologies with a not-to-exceed amount of $232,000 (Resolution No. 53-21). The term 60
of this agreement was later extended to June 30, 2026 and the compensation amount was increased to $467,000 (Resolution Nos. 30-23 and 38-24).
In anticipation of the expiration of the current agreement, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for GIS Consulting Services on March 4, 2026 with a submittal deadline of March 27, 2026 (Attachment 3). The City received six Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) in response to the RFQ. The SOQs were evaluated based on the following criteria:
responsiveness to the RFQ questions, experience of the firm, experience and qualifications of the assigned individuals, and satisfaction of previous clients. Staff evaluated and ranked all submissions using a forced ranking process. Based on the results of that evaluation, Staff determined that Lynx Technologies most closely met the City’s requirements and has the necessary background and experience in GIS data development and maintenance (Attachment 4).
New Agreement with Lynx Technologies, Inc.
The proposed agreement with Lynx Technologies would be for a three-year period beginning on July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029 with a total not-to-exceed compensation amount of $300,000 over the term. The scope of work includes comprehensive GIS consulting services to support, maintain, and enhance the City's enterprise GIS environment across the following areas:
Enterprise GIS support and system services

The Consultant will also provide technical support and knowledge transfer to City staff related to enterprise infrastructure design, system configuration, planning and implementation, and long-term GIS strategy.
Data development and maintenance
The Consultant will provide digital conversion and GIS data maintenance services for a broad range of City datasets, including city limit boundaries, parcels, subdivision layers, street centerlines, address points, utility assets, storm drain networks, General Plan and zoning layers, and public safety datasets. Services may include data modeling, quality assurance/quality control, topology management, metadata development, and database schema design.
Strategic and ad hoc services
The Consultant will support prioritized and time-sensitive GIS initiatives as directed by the City, assist in the development of GIS standards and governance policies, and provide technical consultation on emerging GIS technologies relevant to municipal operations.

Consultant shall, to the extent permitted by law, including without limitation California Civil Code 2782 and 2782.8, indemnify, hold harmless and assume the defense of, in any actions at law or in equity, the City, its employees, agents, volunteers, and elective and appointive boards, from all claims, losses, and damages, including property damage, personal injury, death, and liability of every kind, nature and description, arising out of, pertaining to or related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for, Consultant, during and after completion of Consultant’s work under this Agreement.
With respect to those claims arising from a professional error or omission, Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City (including its elected officials, officers, employees, and volunteers) from all claims, losses, and damages arising from the professionally negligent acts, errors or omissions of Consultant, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.
Consultant's obligation under this section does not extend to that portion of a claim caused in whole or in part by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
Consultant shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from all suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any other proprietary rights of any person or persons because of the City or any of its officers, employees, volunteers, or agents use of articles, products things, or services supplied in the performance of Consultant’s services under this Agreement, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault. 72 Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and 7/1/2026 Lynx Technologies, Inc. for GIS Consulting Services Page 10 of 17 Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City, and hold harmless City and its officers, elected officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the services called for or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.

The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

Patrick Kelleher, CEO of the firm will serve as the primary contact person and will act as the designated lead for this project. Mr. Kelleher has been providing GIS services for small governments for nearly 40 years. Stefanie Gee will be dedicated as the technical analyst for all maintenance activities and ad hoc requests.

SECTION 2: STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING 2| PAGE
Overall Understanding of the Scope of Work
The City of Dublin is looking for a team to help maintain and enhance their Geographic Information System (GIS). Lynx has the expertise and resources to fill this role. Indeed, we are currently acting in the same capacity for a dozen other small government agencies in the San Francisco Bay area. Our experience focusing on the needs of small, local government GIS systems provides us with a unique perspective that other larger firms cannot match.
We envision 3 core functions critical to our role with the City. Some of the items listed below reflect specific requests, others are possible projects or based on past experiences:
Item 1 Communication
Lynx will provide dedicated staff. Patrick Kelleher will act as the lead, will coordinate all meetings, and serve the City as the principal GIS analyst for VertiGIS/ESRI Web development and ArcGIS Enterprise requests. Stefanie Gee will be dedicated to the City, and act as the principal contact person for maintenance work, ad hoc requests, and as-needed desktop training. City staff will be able to work with Stefanie directly. Weekly Team Meetings will be scheduled within the first 5 days of a Notice to Proceed.
Meetings will be remote via Teams and will take 30 minutes to 1-hour. Both Patrick Kelleher and Stefanie Gee will attend all meeting unless otherwise directed by the City.
Lynx proposes to use a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for all GIS requests. The City and Lynx will agree on the terms during an initial kick-off meeting, and we can use an IT Ticketing system such as Happy Fox or Zendesk, or any tracking method the City provides.
Onsite Support. Lynx staff can be available to support projects onsite. This could be fulltime for short engagements such as a high-priority project, or on a weekly basis. Any onsite requests will be coordinated and scheduled within one-week of a request. Mr. Kelleher can fill in for the GIS Coordinator in an emergency. For example, if the coordinator is on vacation, we can be called upon by City staff for troubleshooting a GIS problem, or other GIS administrative tasks.
Training and Knowledge Transfer. Training can include: 1) ArcGIS Desktop Pro for GIS Users, 2) AGOL app tools (Story Maps, Dashboards, Instant Apps, Experience Builder, Survey123), 3) VertiGIS Studio, Workflow, Reporting or Printing. Training will be remote, custom, and small groups of 1-4 people. Typically 1-2 hour sessions of 1 to several weeks is required.
96 SECTION 2: STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING 3| PAGE
Item 2: GIS Maintenance Services
Maintenance for all layers is included in this proposal. Lynx has been working for local governments for nearly 40 years, we are very experienced with best-practices to maintain data and QA/QC procedures. Maintenance needs will vary by layer, and a schedule will be established during the discovery phase of the project. High priority will be placed on parcels, addresses and infrastructure. Typically, we use a 30-day refresh cycle, however, we can also accommodate, ‘break-through/I need it now’ update requests.
New data layers. Content development will be task-order based. Each new project will include a kick-off, discovery period, design, prototype, schedule and cost before proceeding. For example, we would like to develop the City’s easement overlay. This would involve a comprehensive capture of all city easements that would benefit, building, planning, and engineering business units.
Ad hoc requests, are one of our specialties. It is a very common occurrence in our business, where something critical comes up for a manager’s report to council or a staff member’s analysis. We are accustomed to short turnaround times. Staff and managers should feel comfortable with the ask, and that we will drop what we’re doing and put your request in front of the line.
Onsite availability. Lynx staff can be available for onsite work. Although this is not required, it is something we enjoy doing because it gives us a better relationship with staff and GIS needs. Onsite may be needed for a project that requires close contact with staff and complex or sensitive source materials. It can also include biweekly GIS work where we have a dedicated area to work for 2-3 days.
Field Work. Lynx staff is also available to conduct field data collection. This may include GPS Data Collectors (we have our own), ArcGIS Field Maps, or site review (past projects included citywide addresses, land uses, traffic control signs). 97 SECTION 2: STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING 4| PAGE
Item 3: GIS Program Support
Lynx will support the City’s GIS Team in any way possible. We envision our primary role regarding ArcGIS Enterprise administration and management as supportive. However, some tasks previously discussed where we can contribute include:
VertiGIS Studio Development. This may include development in Studio Web, Workflow, Reporting or Printing modules. We enjoy a collegial approach and will share what we learn with other cities we work for.
Integration with existing business systems such as EnerGov, and Laserfiche. Develop low-code and no-code apps using ESRI’s platform. For example, projects we’ve developed: Safe Routes/Bike-To-Work, Park Finder, Adopt-a-Bench, and Adopt-a-Storm Drain.
Migrate existing apps from the current JavaScript 3 WebApp Builder to JavaScript 4, Experience Builder.
Implement out-of-the-box ArcGIS Solutions, such as Sign Management, CIP and CRM modules.
Develop custom map templates, symbol libraries and basemaps in Portal and AGOL so that City staff with minimal GIS experience can produce maps and exhibits. Metadata. We propose to work with the GIS Team to agree on standard FGDCcompliant items and ensure that these are propagated throughout the GIS (database, portal and AGOL items).
Schema Development. Lynx will publish a schema document of the existing GIS data. Each data set will be reviewed to look for opportunities to improve the property characteristics, business needs and common work patterns. Workflows, Attribute Rules, Contingent Values, Topologies, Network Dataset will be prioritized. Training. Targeted training that covers a specific task or product has proven to be the most effective method to engage staff in GIS capabilities. Typically, these include one-hour hands-on sessions for VertiGIS, AGOL or ArcGIS Desktop. 98 SECTION 3: QUALIFICATIONS AND REFERENCES 5| PAGE
Background
Lynx has more than 36 years of experience throughout California, is a registered ESRI Business Partner (2010), and has successfully managed both large and small projects. Our core focus is working with small local government agencies. Lynx is currently working with 12 agencies that share the same profile as the City of Dublin, and we look forward to your reviewing our qualifications and experience.
Lynx is very excited about this opportunity to serve the City. We believe that we understand the priority of providing timely, service to ad hoc requests, and acting as an extension of the City’s staff. Communication will be a key factor to establish the trust and confidence required for a successful engagement. Lynx is fully prepared to provide onsite support as well as working remotely; weekly check-in meetings is a standard practice for our Team.
Unique Qualifications
Lynx is uniquely qualified to provide the GIS services described in the RFQ for a number of reasons.
First, Lynx is currently under contract with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, the Alameda County Regional Emergency Communications Center, and the Alameda County Public Works Department to maintain address points, street centerlines, and parcel data. This collaborative effort is coordinated with the release of the County Assessor’s information; the program has been in place for over 15 years. This project not only benefits the County agencies, but the City of Dublin and other agencies in the Tri-Valley. Every 30-days Lynx staff collects all data changes throughout the county and processes any updates and republishes a file geodatabase to our SharePoint site. Lynx manages the data countywide, and is made available to everyone who has signed the Tri-Valley Consortium GIS Data Sharing agreement.
Secondly, Lynx has been serving the City of Dublin for many years. We built many of the data layers that are part of the City’s Enterprise system. Consequently, Lynx knows the database and the ArcGIS architecture, and understands the integration requirements of other business systems.
We know the City’s staff, and they know us; the personnel will not change under the new agreement, and we can be productive immediately.
Third, Lynx has been working in the Livermore Valley area for over 20 years, for the cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and the Zone 7 Water Agency. We strive to act as a bridge to make sure that data can be shared in a collegial fashion. For example, the Zone 7 distribution system is a critical component to all agencies in the Livermore Valley. Lynx just completed a major overhaul of the system, and helped to incorporate the new data into the city’s systems.
Finally, Lynx works with other cities in Alameda County, with very similar needs as the city of Dublin:
City of Albany
City of Alameda
City of Emeryville
City of Livermore
City of Newark
City of Pleasanton
Zone 7 Water and Flood Control Agency

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES.
Consultant shall, to the extent permitted by law, including without limitation California Civil Code 2782 and 2782.8, indemnify, hold harmless and assume the defense of, in any actions at law or in equity, the City, its employees, agents, volunteers, and elective and appointive boards, from all claims, losses, and damages, including property damage, personal injury, death, and liability of every kind, nature and description, arising out of, pertaining to or related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for, Consultant, during and after completion of Consultant’s work under this Agreement.
With respect to those claims arising from a professional error or omission, Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City (including its elected officials, officers, employees, and volunteers) from all claims, losses, and damages arising from the professionally negligent acts, errors or omissions of Consultant, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.
Consultant's obligation under this section does not extend to that portion of a claim caused in whole or in part by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
Consultant shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from all suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any other proprietary rights of any person or persons because of the City or any of its officers, employees, volunteers, or agents use of articles, products things, or services supplied in the performance of Consultant’s services under this Agreement, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.
Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City, and hold harmless City and its officers, elected officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the services called for or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
145
Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and 7/1/2026 Coulson & Associates for On-Call Development Review Page 11 of 21 The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and 7/1/2026 Pakpour Consulting Group, Inc. for On-Call Development Review Page 10 of 21 Consultant shall, to the extent permitted by law, including without limitation California Civil Code 2782 and 2782.8, indemnify, hold harmless and assume the defense of, in any actions at law or in equity, the City, its employees, agents, volunteers, and elective and appointive boards, from all claims, losses, and damages, including property damage, personal injury, death, and liability of every kind, nature and description, arising out of, pertaining to or related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for, Consultant, during and after completion of Consultant’s work under this Agreement.
With respect to those claims arising from a professional error or omission, Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City (including its elected officials, officers, employees, and volunteers) from all claims, losses, and damages arising from the professionally negligent acts, errors or omissions of Consultant, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.
Consultant's obligation under this section does not extend to that portion of a claim caused in whole or in part by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
Consultant shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from all suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any other proprietary rights of any person or persons because of the City or any of its officers, employees, volunteers, or agents use of articles, products things, or services supplied in the performance of Consultant’s services under this Agreement, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.
Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City, and hold harmless City and its officers, elected officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Consultant’s performance of the services called for or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant 170
Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and 7/1/2026 Pakpour Consulting Group, Inc. for On-Call Development Review Page 11 of 21 must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

With respect to those claims arising from a professional error or omission, Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City (including its elected officials, officers, employees, and volunteers) from all claims, losses, and damages arising from the professionally negligent acts, errors or omissions of Consultant, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.

Consultant shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from all suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any other proprietary rights of any person or persons because of the City or any of its officers, employees, volunteers, or agents use of articles, products things, or services supplied in the performance of Consultant’s services under this Agreement, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates 221
Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and 7/1/2026 BSK Associates for On-Call Geology & Geotechnical Engineering ServicesPage 11 of 22 Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
