C0227116, which for the purposes of this Agreement shall be called “PROJECT,” and,

WHEREAS, Contractor is willing and qualified to provide the services desired;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

I. DUTIES OF CONTRACTOR

A. Contractor shall provide services required for the PROJECT as described in the Scope of Work, attached to and incorporated into this Agreement as Exhibit “A”.

B. Contractor agrees that Contractor and all of Contractor’s employees and subcontractors hold, have obtained, and shall continue to maintain during the course of this Agreement, all licenses or other statutorily mandated certifications requisite to the performance of the PROJECT as may be required in the State of California, if any. Failure of Contractor, its employees and subcontractors to obtain and/or maintain in good standing such licenses or certification shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall provide grounds for immediate termination thereof.

C. Contractor shall perform the PROJECT work in such a manner as to fully comply with customary standards of care, including but not limited to professional quality, technical accuracy, timely completion, and the coordination of designs, drawings, specifications, reports, and other services furnished, work undertaken, and/or labor, materials, tolls, equipment, transportation services and other items provided by Contractor to complete the PROJECT pursuant to this Agreement.

D. The District’s approval of drawings, designs, specifications, reports, and incidental engineering work or other services or materials furnished by Contractor under this Agreement shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for the technical adequacy of its work. Neither the District’s review, approval or acceptance of, nor payment for, any of the services shall be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of this Agreement.

(rev. 7/1/25) Page 2 of 15

E. Contractor shall not be relieved of any of the obligations or covenants contained in this Agreement until the tasks as set forth in Exhibit “A” have been completed.

It is agreed between Contractor and the District that those provisions of this Agreement which by their nature continue beyond expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, including but not limited to Sections VIII, X(F), and X(G), shall continue beyond such expiration or termination.

F. As required under California Government Code Section 1096.7(c)(1), the Contractor’s duties and services under this agreement shall not include preparing or assisting the District with any portion of the District’s preparation of a request for proposals, request for qualifications, or any other solicitation regarding a
subsequent or additional contract with the District. The District shall at all times retain responsibility for public contracting, including with respect to any subsequent phase of this Project.

Contractor shall cooperate with the District to ensure that all bidders for a subsequent contract on any subsequent phase of this Project have access to the same information, including all conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications prepared by contractor pursuant to this Agreement.

II. DUTIES OF DISTRICT

The District, without cost to Contractor, will provide pertinent information reasonably available to it, which is necessary for performance by Contractor under this Agreement, including previous reports and data relative to the PROJECT. The District does not guarantee or ensure the accuracy of any reports, information, and/or data so provided. Contractor will use its professional judgment in the review and use of data so provided. However, Contractor will not be liable for any error or omission in any data furnished by the District and used by Contractor which could not reasonably be discovered by Contractor. To this extent Contractor is entitled to rely on data provided by the District.

III. COMPENSATION OF CONTRACTOR

A. Basis of Compensation: The District will pay Contractor for services provided under this Agreement on a time and material basis with a maximum fee not to exceed SIXTY-THREE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR
DOLLARS AND THIRTY-EIGHT CENTS ($63,284.38) in accordance with the Fee Schedule or Bid Schedule attached to and incorporated into this Agreement as Exhibit “A”. When compensation is determined using hourly rates of Contractor’s personnel and equipment assigned to the work, Contractor rates may be adjusted annually if proposed by Contractor and approved by the District.

Such rate adjustments shall not exceed five percent (5%) annually.

B. Change in Scope of Work: Adjustment in compensation for changes in scope of work authorized in writing by the General Manager of the District shall be based (rev. 7/1/25) Page 3 of 15

on the Fee Schedule, Bid Schedule, firm prices quotations, and/or rates set forth and attached as Exhibit “A.” Changes in scope of work so authorized shall not exceed twenty percent of the total maximum fee. No payment shall be made for changes unless authorized in writing by the District.

C. Monthly Payment to Contractor: Upon submission of an invoice by Contractor, and upon approval of the District’s authorized representative, the District will pay Contractor monthly in arrears for fees and expenses incurred up to the maximum amount reflected in Exhibit “A”. The District will issue payment within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of an invoice from Contractor, provided that all invoices are accompanied by cost documentation determined to be sufficient by the District to allow the determination of the reasonableness and accuracy of the invoice. If a payment dispute arises between the parties, Contractor shall provide to the District full and complete access to Contractor’s project labor cost records and other direct project related cost data, and copies thereof if requested by the District.

D. Notification at 75% of Maximum Fee: Contractor shall notify the District when the costs incurred for the PROJECT work total approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the maximum fee. With the notification, Contractor shall indicate whether the sum of the current costs incurred plus the estimated total cost to complete the task or tasks set forth in the Scope of Work, Exhibit “A,” shall be greater or less than the maximum fee. Receipt by the District of said notification that the cost for completion of all tasks shall exceed the established maximum fee, will not constitute an approval or authorization to increase the established maximum fee or a waiver of any rights which the District may have under this Agreement.

E. Cost of Rework: Contractor shall, at no cost to the District, prepare any necessary rework occasioned by Contractor’s failure to provide services required for the PROJECT as described in Exhibit “A” in a satisfactory manner, due to any act or omission attributable to Contractor, or its agents, including subcontractors.

Nothing in this subsection is intended to limit the liability of Contractor for damages which might arise from Contractor’s negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of the covenants set forth in this Agreement.

F. Markup Allowances: Markup allowances apply only to services provided on a time and materials basis. Contractor may markup Subcontractor and Sub- consultant costs by no more than 5%. Other Direct Costs (reproduction, delivery, mileage, travel expenses, other services) will be billed at cost. Any applicable markups for professional services overhead, including equipment and communication expenses, shall be included in labor hourly rates

(rev. 7/1/25) Page 4 of 15

IV. TERM OF AGREEMENT

A. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and end on the date when the tasks set forth in Exhibit A have been completed or the Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with Article VI.

B. Contractor agrees to immediately and diligently proceed with the Scope of Work and satisfactorily complete the PROJECT within the prescribed time as set forth in Exhibit A.

V. CONTRACTOR’S ASSIGNED PERSONNEL

Contractor designates Kayla Gacosta to act as Project Manager for the performance of the work and for all matters relating to performance under this Agreement.

Substitution of these assigned personnel will require the prior written approval of the District.

If the District determines that a proposed substitution is not acceptable, then, at the request of the District, Contractor shall substitute with a person acceptable to the District.

No subcontract shall be awarded, or an outside consultant engaged, by Contractor, unless Contractor has made written request to use such subcontractor or outside consultant and its request has been approved in writing by the District. No additional approval shall be required for subcontracting with or engagement of a subcontractor or outside consultant identified in Exhibit “A.” The written approval of the District resulting in the use of or engagement of a subcontractor or outside consultant does not relieve Contractor of the obligations or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

VI. TERMINATION

A. The District may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon 30 day’s written notice to Contractor.

B. The District may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice of Contractor’s malfeasance. If the District terminates this Agreement pursuant to this subsection, nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended to require the District to compensate Contractor for any services which may be claimed to have been provided or be in progress if the District reasonably concludes that further compensation is unwarranted.

C. Upon receipt of a termination notice, or in the event that Contractor ceases performing services under this Agreement or otherwise abandons the PROJECT prior to completing all of the services described in the Scope of Work, Contractor (rev. 7/1/25) Page 5 of 15

shall: (1) promptly discontinue all services affected (unless the notice directs otherwise), and (2) deliver or otherwise make available to the District all data, information, and materials as Contractor may have prepared or developed in performing this Agreement, whether completed or in process, including, but not limited to, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries, software, and electronic files of all deliverables.

D. Following termination, the District will reimburse Contractor for all expenditures made in good faith that are unpaid at the time of termination not to exceed the maximum amount payable under this Agreement unless Contractor is in default of this Agreement.

E. Upon termination, Contractor’s sole right and remedy shall be to receive payment for all amounts due and not previously paid to Contractor for services completed or in progress in accordance with the Agreement prior to the date of receipt of notice of termination and for services thereafter completed at the request of the District and any other reasonable cost incidental to such termination of services.

Such payments available to Contractor under this subsection shall not include costs related to lost profit associated with the expected completion of the work or other such payments relating to the benefit of the bargain.

VII. INDEMNITY

Contractor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend, in any actions at law or in equity, the District, its officers, employees, agents, and elective and appointive boards, from all claims, losses, damage, including property damage, personal injury, including death, and liability of every kind, nature and description, including attorneys’ fees, to the extent arising from Contractor’s operations, or from any persons directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for, Contractor, excepting the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the District.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this indemnification shall extend to such claims, losses, damage, injury, death, or other liabilities occurring after the completion of Contractor’s operations, as well as during the progress of rendering such services.

Submission of insurance certificates or submission of other proof of compliance with the insurance requirements of this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification section. The obligations of this indemnification section shall apply whether or not such insurance policies have been determined to be applicable to any of such damages or claims for damages.

Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence.

If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the District requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the District. No representation is made that the minimums shown above are sufficient to cover the indemnity or other obligations of the Contractor under this Agreement.

B.OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS

The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

1. Additional Insured Status. The District, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to Contractor’s insurance (at least as (rev. 7/1/25) Page 7 of 15

broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used).

2. Primary Coverage. For any claims related to this Agreement, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary and non-contributory and at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 12 19 as respects the District, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the District, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. This requirement shall also apply to any Excess or Umbrella liability policies.

3. Umbrella or Excess Policy. Contractor may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this Agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements. The Umbrella or Excess policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying Commercial General Liability insurance. No insurance policies maintained by the Additional Insureds, whether primary or excess, and which also apply to a loss covered hereunder, shall be called upon to contribute to a loss until Contractor’s primary and excess liability policies are exhausted.

4. Notice of Cancellation. Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the Entity

5. Waiver of Subrogation. Contractor hereby grants to the District a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of Contractor may acquire against the District by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the District has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. The Workers’ Compensation Policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the District for all work performed by the Contractor, its employees, agents, and subcontractors.

6. Self-Insured Retentions. Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the District. The District may require Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.

The CGL and any policies, including Excess liability policies, may not be subject to a self-insured retention (SIR) that exceeds $50,000 unless approved in writing by the District. Any and all SIRs shall be the sole (rev. 7/1/25) Page 8 of 15

responsibility of Contractor or subcontractor who procured such insurance and shall not apply to the Indemnified Additional Insured Parties. The District may deduct from any amounts otherwise due Contractor to fund the SIR.

Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named. The policy must also provide that defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR. The District reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.

7. Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the District.

8. Verification of Coverage. Contractor shall furnish the District with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsements Pages of the CGL and any Excess policies listing all policy endorsements. All certificates and endorsements and copies of the Declarations & Endorsements pages are to be received and approved by the District before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive Contractor’s obligation to provide them. The District reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time. District reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

The District may withhold payment to Contractor until Contractor provides complete insurance certificates and endorsements satisfactory to the District.

The total dollars of a category in the Project Budget may be increased by up to ten percent (10%) through a reallocation of funds from another category , without approval by the State .

However, the Grantee shall notify the State in writing when any such reallocation is made, and shall identify both the item(s) being increased and those being decreased.

Any cumulative increase or decrease of more than ten percent (10%) from the original budget in the amount of a category must be approved by the State.

6. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement in writing between Grantee and State. Any request by the Grantee for amendments must be in writing stating the amendment request and reason for the request. The Grantee shall make requests in a timely manner and in no event less than sixty (60) days before the effective date of the proposed amendment.

7. Grantee must report to the State all sources of other funds for the Project.

E. Project Termination

1. Prior to the completion of P roject construction, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party with thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination.

Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District
Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project

any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that there is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by Grantee which affects performance of this or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.

2. If the State terminates without cause the Agreement prior to the end of the Project Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this Agreement. The State shall be responsible for any reasonable and non- cancelable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of the Agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate, but only up to the undisbursed balance of funding authorized in this Agreement.

3. If the Grantee fails to complete the Project in accordance with this Agreement, or fails to fulfill any other obligations of this Agreement prior to the termination date, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this Agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the Project . The State may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed provided that the State determines it is in the State’s best interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this Agreement.

4. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder.

5. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if , in the judgment of the State, such failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.

6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee with the terms of this Agreement, i ncludes developing sea level rise adaptation plans, and for directly related investments to implement those plans, because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of Grant Funds under the provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount of the Grant Funds disbursed under this Agreement by the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Grantee of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.

F. Hold Harmless

1. Grantee shall waive all claims and recourses against the State, including the right to contribution for loss or damage to persons or property arising from, growing out of or in any way connected with or incident to this Agreement, except claims arising from the gross negligence of State, its officers, agents and employees.

Grantee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.

3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and Grantee, their officers, agents or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.

G. Audit Requirements and Financial Records

1. OPC projects are subject to audit by the State annually and for three (3) years following the payment of Grant Funds. Grantee shall maintain satisfactory financial accounts, documents, records, and supporting documentation consistent with the policies outlined in this Agreement and to make them available to the State for auditing at reasonable times. Grantee shall also retain such financial accounts, documents, records, and supporting documentation for three (3) years after final payment and one (1) year following an audit on site.

If the property sold or otherwise disposed of is less than the entire interest in the property funded in the Grant, an amount equal to either the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the interest or the Fair Market Value of the interest sold or otherwise disposed of, whichever is greater, shall be reimbursed to the State.

5. The Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the real property for mitigation without the written permission of the State.

Project Title: Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project
Agreement Number C0227116
Term of Agreement: Upon Approval Through September 30, 2027

Project Summary:

The Solano Bayshore Resiliency Project (Project) is a collaborative, multi-jurisdictional adaptation planning effort facilitated through the Solano Resiliency Roundtable. Aligned with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission's (BCDC) Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP), this project includes:
• Task 1 – Project Planning, Management, and Coordination; • Task 2 – Community Outreach and Engagement;
• Task 3 – Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment; and • Task 4 – Development of a Multi-jurisdictional Regional Shoreline Action Plan for unincorporated Solano County and the cities of Vallejo, Fairfield, Suisun City, and Benicia.

Building on previous studies, the Project will ultimately include evaluation of the feasibility of nature-based, green, and hybrid adaptation solutions, and aligning with BCDC RSAP Guidelines. Focus areas include vulnerable regions within the project area and the Suisun Marsh, the largest remaining wetland in the San Francisco Bay Area, accounting for over 10% of California's remaining wetlands.

The project will guide place-based community planning and critical infrastructure investment decisions while prioritizing equitable engagement with historically underrepresented communities across the project area for fair and inclusive outcomes.

This effort directly advances the Ocean Protection Council’s (OPC) Strategic Plan objectives, specifically:

• Objective 1.1: Build resiliency to sea-level rise, coastal storms, erosion, and flooding by informing adaptation planning with localized vulnerability assessments and prioritized solutions.
• Objective 1.3: Improve understanding of climate impacts on California’s coast and ocean through data gathering, hazard mapping, and regional knowledge- sharing.
• Objective 2.2: Enhance engagement with underserved communities via inclusive outreach, community workgroups, and youth engagement strategies. • Objective 3.1: Protect and restore coastal and marine ecosystems by evaluating the feasibility of nature-based and hybrid infrastructure to increase ecosystem resilience.

Objective:

Through development of a science-based vulnerability assessment and a multi- jurisdictional shoreline action plan (MSAP), the project aims to identify and prioritize adaptation strategies that protect people, critical services, and natural resources from the accelerating threats of sea level rise and coastal flooding. By coordination across jurisdictions (Solano County and the cities of Vallejo, Fairfield, Suisun City, and Benicia), this project enhances regional capacity to plan proactively, share resources, and respond collectively to climate-driven shoreline hazards.

This effort aims to serve as a model for inclusive governance and integrated planning that centers historically underserved communities. The project will meet RSAP's Equity Assessment Standard through comprehensive community engagement, ensuring meaningful consultation and incorporation of the needs and perspectives of vulnerable, historically underrepresented communities in all aspects of sea level rise adaptation planning. The project will support climate resilience through meaningful community engagement, regional knowledge-sharing, and the co-creation of locally relevant solutions. By aligning with the BCDC’s RSAP and SB 272, this work directly advances statewide goals for climate adaptation while addressing localized flood risks, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and environmental justice priorities along the Solano Bayshore.
