The Consultant shall notify Administrator in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusa ble delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to Administrator of the cessation of such occurrence.

the services agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, the City relies upon the skill of the Consultant and any subcontractors to do and perform such services in a skillful manner and the Consultant agrees to thus perform the services and require the s ame of any subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance of such services by the City shall not operate as a release of the Consultant or any subcontractors from said professional standards.

7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, including California Civil Code section 2782.8, the Consultant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages (whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not limited to personal injury, death at any time and property damage), and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including reasonable attorney's fee, litigation expenses, and costs to enforce this agreement) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the Consultant, its principals, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement.

If the Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, the Consultant shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.

(c) The fact that insurance is obtained by the Consultant shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of the Consultant, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify the City shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the Consultant. Approval or purchase of any insurance contrac ts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of the Consultant, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of the Consultant, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub- consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

TOWN OF ATHERTON
Civic Center Project
The Town of Atherton is known for being the most expensive zip code to call home in America, but the Town’s City Hall used to be comprised of an old building and 8 portable trailers. Recognizing the need for a functional and welcoming space for civic activities and community engagement, the Town created plans for a new $60 million Civic Center Complex, complete with council chambers, a library, and facilities for town administration and police department.

Interwest has served the Town of Atherton since 2011 and is pleased to provide project management, building and civil plan review, and building inspection services on this marquee project. Though planning for the Town Center began in 2012, the project broke ground in 2019. It was crucial for the Town to have complete stakeholder buy-in and community involvement. Plans were drawn and changed several times to ensure that the project properly represented the vision of Town Leadership, reflected, and preserved the rich cultural heritage of the Town, and was respectful of concerns expressed by adjacent neighbors and Town stakeholders. Interwest’s Project Manager has effectively and successfully formed important partnerships and wonderful relationships with Town residents and vocal stakeholders as he responded to their questions and found solutions to their concerns throughout the planning, design, and construction of the project.

Once the plan was reviewed and approved by our team, construction started but was immediately complicated by the unexpected and unanticipated challenge presented by the COVID pandemic. Like so many construction projects during that time, the Town Center was put on hold for several months as the Town adopted and implemented health and safety best practices. Eventually, the project was allowed to proceed, as the Town Center will be an essential service building; even so, moving forward remained difficult as several of the required suppliers and tradesmen were not considered to be essential workers. Even though months of productivity were lost, it is a testament to the Town and Interwest’s team’s determination and dedication that the project is still on schedule.
