ROCKHAVEN SANITARIUM HISTORIC DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS
The Consultant agrees to prepare a Design Survey for the project. Specific items of service are as follows:
1. Prepare a SURVEY MAP situated on NAD83 state pla ne coordinate system at a scale of 1" = 10’ over the site shown on attached Exhibit “A” delivered in both hardcopy (scaled PDF plot) and AutoCAD format. Survey to be performed in field by GPS and conventional total-station methods.
2. BOUNDARY and/or RIGHT OF WAY lines established f rom field surveyed information (nearest adjacent public right of way and centerline will be depicted to the extent feasible should a title report not be provided to the surveyor).
3. Delineation of plottable EASEMENTS from a Client -supplied title report.
4. HORIZONTAL LOCATION, size and description of bui ldings, driveways, walks, curbs, walls, fences, gates, signs, poles, trees over 6" in diameter (DBH), and other permanent surface visible features.
5. TOPOGRAPHY situated on presiding municipal datum as established by city benchmarks at a 1-foot contour interval, and spot elevations on a grid pattern in level areas.
6. ELEVATIONS on driveways, utility pads, walks, cu rbs, gutters, and walls, including at back of walk, top of curb, flow line, edge of gutter and centerline every 25’ along abutting streets, should said streets fall within the limits as depicted on attached Exhibit “A”.
7. UTILITIES in adjoining streets from available su bstructure maps joined, where possible, with visible signs of utilities located by the field crew. Paintmarks provided under the terms of this proposal, if any, will be mapped in conjunction with this effort and depicted in Survey Map, together with Field-measured invert elevations on sanitary sewer and storm drain manholes. Cleanouts will not be opened without assistance from client due to potential for damage and lack of access to lateral invert.
It should be noted that irrigation lines are most often not detectable from surface, and that sprinkler heads, control boxes, and control valves will be the only evidence available at the surface.
8. SQUARE FOOT AREA within boundary lines if a titl e report is provided by the client.
9. PARKING SPACE count [and delineation of surface parking stalls only].

SUBTERRANEAN UTILITY DETECTION (SUE)
Substructure utility detecting and mapping is a branch of the engineering practice that involves managing certain risks associated with utility mapping at appropriate Quality Levels, utility coordination, utility relocation design and coordination, utility condition assessment, communication of utility data to concerned parties, utility relocation cost estimates, implementation of utility accommodation policies, and utility design. Substructure utility detecting and mapping utilizes professionals with the education, training and knowledge of underground utility systems and civil and survey technologies required to verify and reconcile the different methods of utility detecting.
For the purpose of this proposal Psomas has been asked to locate the horizontal and vertical locations, as well as pipe size and pipe material if obtainable, for the underground utilities including: water, gas, power, waste, communications and cable/TV for the area within Utility Surveys 1 and/or 2 as shown in Exhibit “A” attached hereto. For utility detecting we detect most underground utilities by using one or all of the following: a standard electromagnetic utility locator, a ground penetrating radar unit, sonic wave generator and magnetic locator.
With this method, we are able to find: main water supply lines and associated branch lines made of metal (conductive) or water lines installed with a “tracer wire”, sewer and waste lines by electromagnetic location, power lines, telecommunication lines, gas lines with tracer wires.
Our technicians will mark the indications directly on the surface of surveyed areas using the American Public Works Association (APWA) Uniform Color Code. All utility locating marks are made in accordance with the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) Best Practices.
Once lines have been detected, we will utilize the best option for marking the utility locations.
Psomas’ subsurface utility detection and mapping team utilizes ASCE’s SUE Guideline 38- 02 to define utility locations by Quality Levels A-D. ASCE SUE Guideline 38-02 defines four areas of utility mapping consisting of record utility plotting (QL-D), utility field surveys (QL-C), SUE detection (QL-B) and potholing (QL-A). For the tasks listed below ASCE Quality Level B, SUE Detection will be performed.
DISCLAIMERS
• Detection of all utilities cannot be guaranteed due to the many variables such as materials, depth, signal interference, lack of record information and environmental factors to name a few.
• The horizontal positions of utilities depicted on the designation deliverable and in the field are considered approximate. To achieve precise horizontal and vertical locations, Quality Level “A” Test Holes must be performed.
W:\1SWA021500\ADMIN\Contracts\Additional_Services\24-0508_ASR1_Additional Survey Services.docx
• Nonmetallic utilities such as PVC, Asbestos Cement, Terracotta, and Plastic pipes are nonconductive and cannot be traced with electromagnetic instrumentation. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will be used in an attempt to identify nonmetallic utilities.
GPR
results can be affected by various factors such as pipe size, depth, and most importantly environmental factors such as soil conditions, rebar, and subsurface ground water.
• Use of this service does not relieve others of their responsibility to notify 811 Dig Alert prior to any excavation.
• Being that some of the work is to be performed within a parking lot, we recommend that we perform this work when cars are not parked in these areas or that the area be blocked from parked cars. If the cars cannot be prevented from parking within the parking lot, then the utility detection maybe be inconsistent and lack continuity.
Proposed Scope of Utility Detection Services
Substructure Utility Detecting:
• Utilize standard Substructure Utility Engineering (SUE) detection equipment to locate detectable utilities within Utility Surveys 1 and/or 2 and shown on the attached Exhibit “A”.
• For the purposes of this proposal 2-4 8-hour day(s) were assumed. If an additional day(s) of field time are required due to delays the project team will be notified and a change order with the budgetary and schedule impact will be submitted. • Paint marks, pins, lathe with flagging and/or feathers will be set for the survey field crew to locate once utility locating has been performed.
Exceptions/Assumptions:
• All lines designated by the client for need of locating must have clear unobstructed access points.
• No traffic control will be required or provided.
Access provided by others.

ROCKHAVEN SANITARIUM HISTORIC DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS
The Consultant agrees to provide Scanning Services for the project. Specific items of service are as follows:
SCOPE OF WORK
Scan to BIM Revit Model:
Psomas will generate a LOD 300 Architectural, 3D Re vit Model (Version 2021, format .rvt) to the specifications outlined below.
METHODOLOGY
Psomas is proposing to use Mobile LiDAR (Light Dete ction and Ranging) scanning technology to capture existing conditions of the project site and interior building structure. Targets will be used throughout the project area to register scans. These targets will be conventionally surveyed to create a highly accurate registration.
Point clouds will have a maximum of 5 cm (about 1.9 7 in) point to point spacing at 20 feet from scanner location. Point clouds will be cleaned of any significant noise points and translated into RCS & RCP to use within Autodesk 20 18 and newer products (Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks).
QA/QC checks will be performed throughout the production workflow to monitor and maintain accuracy requirements and a final check prior to final delivery.
It is assumed all project areas will be accessible. Client is responsible for providing access to the facilities, notifications, negotiations with tenants and scheduling the fieldwork.
SURVEY CONTROL
Survey control network will be previously establish ed by conventional survey methods and will be based upon project control parameters as set forth in the contract documents. Targeted control stations will be evenly spaced horizontally throughout each building to ensure overall verification and accuracy of the scanning operations. Horizonal control is based on The North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) Zone, Vertical control is bas ed on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).
3D MODELING
The model will be created from the registered point -cloud data generated via 3D Laser Scanning mentioned above. The model will have an ac curacy level consistent with LOD 300 standards. Psomas will include the following elements, any elements not listed are excluded:
Architectural
Interior and Exterior Walls Finished Floor Surface
Ceilings Doors & Windows

RE: Proposal – Rockhaven Sanitarium Nurse’s Cottage & Garage Improvements
Dear Ryan,
Architectural Resources Group (ARG) is pleased to submit this proposal for design services for rehabilitation of the Nurse’s Cottage and Garage. The Nurse’s Cottage, also known as Building A, is one of fifteen structures within the Rockhaven Sanitarium Historic District, a 3.4 acre property located at 2713 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA. The sanitarium opened in 1923 by psychiatric nurse Agnes Richards as a private mental health institution for women. It was designed in the Cottage Plan style of asylum architecture, which includes numerous individual buildings surrounded by landscaped gardens in order to provide a serene residential environment. The property includes fifteen buildings (five relocated from elsewhere and others constructed on site between 1920-1972). The Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival style buildings included patios and courtyards for the residents. Rockhaven is one of the best examples of early twentieth-century private sanitariums in California, and significant for being woman-owned and serving only women. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
ARG has been working with your team to rehabilitate the Pines Cottage (Building C) as part of the Rockhaven Historic District Improvements and Museum project. We understand the Nurse’s Cottage and Garage Rehabilitation will be tied to that project, but proceed as a distinctly separate effort on a different schedule. We’re delighted to continue our involvement with the City of Glendale and the Rockhaven community.
This proposal is based on a scope of work plan markup provided by SWA as well as a virtual call on May 3, 2024. The following pages describe our understanding and approach to the project. We welcome any comments you might have and are happy to revise our proposal to address concerns and scope adjustments that you feel are necessary. ARG’s design and management process is highly collaborative, and we look forward to further conversations with you about the project.
EXHIBIT D
Thank you again for your continued consideration of ARG to work with you on this significant project for the City of Glendale. Should you have any questions about our proposal or the information provided herein, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Grace Davis, AIA
Associate, Project Manager

Rockhaven Sanitarium Nurse’s Cottage and Garage Improvements
PROJECT APPROACH
Project Understanding
Located on the Rockhaven Sanitarium site, the project encompasses the rehabilitation of the existing single-story Nurse’s Cottage Building (1,050 SF), identified as Building A in the site documentation, for use as a Community Building. The Garage, identified as Building B (550 SF), will be used as a storage space or possibly demolished. We understand that site improvements, including a new parking lot, are to be included in this project but will be designed and documented by SWA.
The Nurse’s Cottage and Garage were both constructed in 1928 as a single-family residence. The cottage acted as the nurse’s living quarters serving the sanitarium. The garage has been utilized for storage, and a small shop was constructed at the rear in 1931.

Services to be provided shall be as further described, below.
a. VISTA shall review all available information on the Project Site, including existing documentation, as-built drawings if available, and/or prior surveys. If prior survey data can be validated, VISTA will incorporate the results into the final survey report.
b. VISTA will visually assess all accessible structural, architectural and mechanical systems and finishes for the presence of hazardous materials and test those suspected of containing hazardous materials at the Project Site.
c. VISTA will perform an initial walkthrough of the Project Site to identify suspect asbestos- containing materials, and quantify them, to determine the number of samples required to satisfy regulatory requirements.
d. Following the initial walkthrough, VISTA will perform an asbestos assessment and collect bulk samples of suspect materials for the determination of asbestos content as necessary to satisfy all USEPA, Cal/OSHA and the South Coast AQMD requirements. Samples will be generally taken from discrete areas or at locations that already show signs of damage, when feasible. Samples will be hand delivered to a NVLAP and ELAP accredited laboratory and analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy on a three (3) day turnaround from the laboratories receipt of the samples.
Materials which are inaccessible or require destructive sampling to be performed in order to access the material will be ASSUMED to contain asbestos.
e. VISTA will perform a lead in construction screening assessment, which will include testing of representative paints and surface coatings (ceramic tile) for lead content via X -Ray Fluorescence (XRF) or paint chip/bulk samples analyzed by a third party accredited Hazardous Materials Consulting Services May 9, 2024 Rockhaven Sanitarium, Nurses Quarters & Garage

actual conditions at a Site may vary from those encountered at the location where visual observations, borings, test pits, surveys, obtaining of samples or other investigative activities are made (collectively “information”); b) the data,
interpretations and recommendations of VISTA are based solely on such Information cited in VISTA ’s reports and are therefore subject to the limitations of such information; c) there is an inherent risk as sociated with commonly used investigative methods to collect Information at the Site that contain hazardous materials or pollution; and d) the state of practice, particularly with regard to investigative techniques and remediation methodologies is evolving . In recognition thereof, Client hereby agrees that VISTA shall have no liability and Client shall bring no claim for negligence, breach of contract, indemnity or other cause of action

GLENDALE, CALIFORNA
[S.F. PROJECT # 24125 ]
Dear Ryan:
We are very pleased to present this proposal to provide structural engineering services related to the Rockhaven Sanitarium Historic District. We understand that t he City of Glendale is requesting SWA’s services with the support of Architectural Resources Group to renovate the Nurses Parcel and adjacent Garage. You have requested this proposal for us to provide structural engineering services related to the structural integrity and proposed modifications for use as a community service building and storage. We are currently working with you on modifications to the Pine’s Cottage building for use as a museum. We have based this proposal on the meeting with the team on May 2, 2024 and on the document provided titled, “240503_Rockhaven_Additional_Scope_Diagram”. For this proposal, we have made assumptions based on the available information and believe that we have provided a proposal that is appropriate for the project as envisioned. Please note that we have included our services only related to the building, not to the proposed landscaping renovations.
Structural Focus is comprised of a staff of 25 engineering and support professionals that recognize the value of providing innovative structural engineering and open dialogue that meets our clients’ needs. Structural Focus also recognizes the importance of sustainability and has recently pledged to join and financially support SE 2050. The SE 2050 Commitment Program is a collective effort by the structural engineering profession to understand, reduce, and ultimately eliminate embodied carbon in our projects by 2050.
We recently visited the site to see the nearby Pines Cottage. While on the site we walked the exterior of the garage and nurses parcel, but we did not go into the building. We also do not have construction drawings for either the nurses parcel or the garage building. Based on our limited visit to the site and google maps photos, the building looks to be rectangular in plan and is one-story. The exterior walls are covered with stucco. The roof is framed with wood framing, and we assume the walls are wood framed covered with stucco. Based on the photographs, there is a partial basement under the south wing of the building and crawlspace under the remainder of the ground floor. The garage building seems to be a wood framed building on grade with no crawl space.
For this proposal, we have assumed that we will be evaluating the building for its ability to meet the performance objectives contained in the California Historic Building Code for this type of construction and the proposed occupancy as a community service center. Based on our site visit to Pines Cottage, we assume cripple wall strengthening and new bolts will be required at the foundation. Additional seismic strengthening may be required and/or recommended. In addition to the seismic evaluation and strengthening, we understand the scope of work will include repairing of some wood framing where there has been deterioration. Roof repair work may also be required. We are also assuming that proposed modifications to the building necessary for its conversion to a community service building will be “non-structural” and therefore EXHIBIT D.4
pg. 2 May 9, 2024
not require any significant modifications. We assume the garage building is on grade and analysis of a raised floor to support storage loads will not be required.
Scope of Structural Engineering Services
Our structural scope of work for the project is summarized below.
Site Survey Phase
• Develop the structural criteria to be used during design and discuss with you how it fits within the programmed uses of the building.
• Review any available existing building drawings as they relate to the new project and identify any issues. • Perform an initial site visit to observe the existing building framing and conditions of the existing building elements.
Concept Phase
• Review the existing information.
• Perform a Tier 1 seismic evaluation of the building utilizing ASCE 41, Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings , as well as the California Historical Building Code. • Develop a basic seismic strengthening scheme based on the existing building elements and the structural criteria developed with you.
• Develop a basic rehabilitation scheme for existing structural elements requiring repair, such as rotten or terminate damaged wood, etc.
• Provide input as it relates to geotechnical and civil issues. • Provide conceptual structural information related to other non-structural disciplines as they impact the structure.
• Provide Schematic Concept drawings (one submittal) including annotations on based building backgrounds provided by others and sketches.
• Attend project coordination (consultant and owner) meetings. We have included a total of two meetings during this phase with this proposal.
Construction Document Phase
• Complete structural calculations, structural design, contract documents and specifications. • Provide 30%, 60% and 90% CD documents including structural drawings and specifications. We understand that the 90% CD documents will be submitted to the City for plan check. We assume the nurses parcel building and the garage will be included in one submittal. We assume this submittal will be separate from the Pines Cottage submittal.
• Provide signed and stamped structural calculations for submittal to the City for plan-check. • Assist in the plan check process by replying to comments and questions from the City. Present to the City if needed. We have assumed we will receive one set of plan check corrections in development of our suggested budget for this phase.
• Review the anchorage and attachment details provided to us by others of non-structural core and shell mechanical equipment in the buildings.
pg. 3 May 9, 2024
• Review the submitted stair and handrail design drawings provided to us by others. As part of our services, we will provide member sizes for the stringers and design and detailing of the landings. We understand that details for the stringers, treads, and handrails will be provided by others. • Provide structural support of the major (weight exceeding 2,000 pounds each) mechanical equipment.
The supports and anchorages of the smaller equipment will be provided by others. We understand that no major equipment will be located on the roof.
• Provide final 100% CD documents to be issued for construction after the completion of the plan check review.
♦ Attend weekly project coordination (consultant and owner) meetings. We have included a total of three meetings during this phase with this proposal.
Bid Support & Construction Administration (hourly)
• Assist you and the general contractor in reviewing subcontractor bids related to structural work. • Provide clarifications as requested by you to assist in the subcontractor bid process. • Attend the construction coordination meetings as required throughout the construction duration. Our regular site visits for construction observation will be coordinated with project meetings thus minimizing our separate site visits and allowing for the possibility to hold project meetings on the same day. • Visit the site periodically to provide structural observation services. • Review the submittals and respond to requests for information from the contractor. • Provide information and assistance in the interpretation of the structural construction drawings. • We have assumed a total of six meetings/site visits during this phase with this proposal in development of our suggested budget.
Exclusions
The following services are not included in this proposal but could be provided as required under separate Additional Services Agreements :
• Any seismic strengthening beyond the provisions of the California Historical Building Code for reuse as a community service building.
• Analysis of the garage floor to support storage loads. We assume this building has a slab on grade without a crawl space. If we determine the building has a raised floor, we can provide any required floor analysis as an additional proposal.
• Value engineering efforts after submittal of 30% CD Documents. • Any significant changes to the design, layout, or configuration of the building after submittal of the Concept Design phase.
• Significant structural modifications due to conversion into a community service center not related to seismic or floor loading.
• Design of and structural calculations for the anchorage or bracing of any mechanical/electrical/plumbing equipment not included in the scope above. We are pleased to review any equipment anchorage design provided to us.
• Design of and structural calculations for the anchorage or bracing of any architectural systems or elements, including ceilings, partitions, etc.
pg. 4 May 9, 2024

• Any efforts related to obtaining a LEED certification. • Determination of loading or design criteria for elements that are to be designed by others. We are pleased to review any design by others submitted to us for review. • Construction shoring design or assistance in means & methods. • Special Inspection services. Our site visits will be for code-required Structural Observation only. • Any services outside of structural engineering other than our own reasonable coordination efforts with the other disciplines.
• As-built drawings.
• Additional meetings or site visits above the number listed above.
Compensation
We propose to provide these services on a lump sum by phase basis plus an allowance for reimbursable expenses including a ten percent markup. The breakdown of proposed fees by phase is as follows:
Phase Proposed
Lump Sum Fees
Reimbursable Allowance
Site Survey Phase $2,300 $200

They are and shall remain the property of Structural Focus. Any modification or reuse without the written approval by Structural Focus is prohibited.
2. Standard of Care
Structural Focus services are performed in a manner consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the engineering profession under similar circumstances at the time the services are performed in the locality of the project. No warranty or representation, either expressed or implied, is included or intended in Structural Focus's proposals, contracts, designs, documents, opinions, or reports. Structural Focus shall exercise usual and customary professional care in its efforts to comply with applicable codes, regulations and laws in effect as of the date of execution of this Agreement.
3. Defects in Service
The Client shall promptly report to Structural Focus any defects or suspected defects in Structural Focus's work or services of which the Client becomes aware, so that Structural Focus may take measures to minimize the consequences of such a defect. The Client warrants that he or she will impose a similar notification requirement on all Contractors in his or her Client/Contractor contract and shall require all subcontracts at any level to contain a like requirement. Failure by the Client, and the Client's Contractors or subcontractors to notify Structural Focus, shall relieve Structural Focus of the costs of remedying the defects above the sum such remedy would have cost had prompt notification been given.
4. Opinions of Probable Construction Cost
Structural Focus's opinions of probable construction costs represent Structural Focus's best judgment as professionals generally familiar with the construction industry. However, since Structural Focus has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, or services furnished by others, or over the Contractor's methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market or negotiating conditions, Structural Focus cannot and does not warrant or represent that proposals, bids or actual construction cost will not vary from provided opinions of probable construction cost. Structural Focus will consider design work required to align Contractor bid prices with the Client's Project budget as extra services.
5. Betterment
If, due to Structural Focus's error, any required item or component of the Project is omitted from Structural Focus's construction documents, Structural Focus shall not be responsible for paying the cost to add such item or component to the extent that such item or component would have been otherwise necessary to the Project or otherwise adds value or betterment to the Project. In no event will Structural Focus be responsible for any cost or expense that provides betterment, upgrade or enhancement of the Project.
6. Risk Allocation
In recognition of the relative risks, rewards and benefits of the Project to both the Client and Structural Focus, the risks have been allocated so that the Client agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Structural Focus's total liability to the Client, for any and all claims, losses, expenses, damages or claim expenses arising out of this Agreement and the performance thereunder, from any cause or causes, shall not exceed the total amount of $50,000 or the amount of compensation paid to Structural Focus under this Agreement (whichever is greater). Such claims and causes include, but are not limited to Structural Focus's negligence, errors, omissions, strict liability, breach of contract or breach of warranty.
Further, the Client agrees to notify any Contractor or sub-contractor who may perform work in connection with any design, report, or study prepared by Structural Focus of such limitation of liability for design defects, errors, omissions or professional negligence, and require as a condition precedent to their performing the work a like limitation of liability on their part as against Structural Focus.
In the event that Client does not agree to limit Structural Focus’s liability to this sum, Structural Focus shall waive this limitation upon the Client’s request provided that (1) the Client pays an additional consideration of 5% of Structural Focus’s total fee or $500, whichever is greater, and (2) at least $500 of such payment is paid within 30 days of the Structural Focus proposal or the day Structural Focus commences performance of services, whichever is later.
In the event the Client makes a claim against Structural Focus, at law or otherwise, for any alleged error, omission or other act arising out of the performance of professional services, and the Client fails to prove such claim, then the Client shall pay all costs incurred by Structural Focus in defending itself against the claim.
Revised 3/15/2023 Page 2
No officer, director, shareholder, employee or consultant of Structural Focus shall bear any personal liability to Client for any and all injuries, claims, demands, losses, expenses or damages, of whatever kind or character, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or the services provided by Structural Focus on this project.
7. Indemnification
The Owner shall indemnify and hold Structural Focus, its officers, employees and consultants harmless from and against damages, losses and judgments arising from claims by third parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses recoverable under applicable law to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Client, the contractors, consultants, subcontractors or anyone for whom the Client is legally liable. The Client shall not be obligated to indemnify Structural Focus if it is determined the damages, losses and judgments were caused by Structural Focus’ sole or active negligence or willful misconduct.
8. Information Provided by Client
Structural Focus shall indicate to the Client the information needed for rendering of services hereunder. The Client shall provide to Structural Focus such information as is available to the Client and the Client's consultants and contractors, and Structural Focus shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and the completeness thereof.
The Client recognizes that it is impossible for Structural Focus to assure the accuracy of such information, either because it is impossible to verify, because of defects in or unknown changes to the original or subsequent construction, or because of errors or omissions which may have occurred in assembling the information the Client is providing. Accordingly, the Client shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Structural Focus, Structural Focus's officers, directors, principals, partners, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, expenses, liabilities, injuries or damages, including all reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs, arising or allegedly arising from or in any way connected with errors, omissions or inaccuracies in documents or other information provided by the Client to Structural Focus. Client understands that Structural Focus is not liable for the accuracy and/or adequacy of design services performed by others.
9. Hidden Conditions
When advised or requested by Structural Focus, investigation of structural conditions concealed by existing finishes shall be authorized and paid for by the Client. Client shall pay for all costs associated with the investigation of such a condition and, if necessary, all costs necessary to correct said condition.
If (1) the Client fails to authorize such investigation or correction after due notification, or (2) Structural Focus has no knowledge that such a condition exists, the Client shall be responsible for all risks associated with this condition, and Structural Focus shall not be responsible for the existing condition, nor any resulting damages to persons or property.
10. Changed Conditions
The Client shall rely on Structural Focus's professional judgment as to the continued adequacy of this Agreement in light of occurrences or discoveries that were not originally contemplated by or known to Structural Focus.

If terms cannot be agreed to, the parties agree that either party has the absolute right to terminate this Agreement upon the proper notice.
11. Toxic and Hazardous Substances
Structural Focus and its subconsultants and agents shall have no responsibility for the discovery, presence, handling, removal of or exposure of persons to hazardous materials in any form at the Project site including, but not limited to asbestos, asbestos products, PCBs, radioactive materials, or other toxic substances.
In the event that Structural Focus or any other party encounters asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials at the job site, or should it become known in any way that such materials may be present at the job site or any adjacent areas that may affect the performance of Structural Focus's services, Structural Focus may, at its option and without liability for consequential or any other damages, suspend services on the Project until the Client retains appropriate specialist consultant(s) or contractor(s) to identify, abate and/or remove the asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials, and warrant that the job site is in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The Client also shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Structural Focus, Structural Focus's officers, directors, principals, partners, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, expenses, liabilities, injuries or damages, including all reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs, arising in whole or in part from the presence, discharge, release or escape of asbestos, asbestos products, PCBs, radioactive materials, or other toxic substances at or in the vicinity of the job site.
12. Peer Review Services
Where the Client employs Structural Focus for peer review services, it shall not be construed that Structural Focus, through such services, is supplanting or joining with the Structural Engineer of Record in his or her professional responsibility for the design of the structural portion of the Project under review.
Project peer review services performed by Structural Focus are not to be interpreted as a check of any nonstructural provisions of the applicable building code or codes. They are not a check of general requirements, such as Use Group or Type of Construction, a check of life-safety or fire protection requirements or a check of any code provisions, other than those concerning the stability and integrity of the primary structural system. No attempt will be made to verify dimensions, except to the extent necessary to review the adequacy of a particular structural component.

13. Job Site Safety
Neither the professional activities of Structural Focus, nor the presence of Structural Focus's employees and subconsultants at a construction site, shall relieve the General Contractor and any other entity of their obligations, duties and responsibilities including, but not limited to, construction means, methods, sequence, techniques or procedures necessary for performing, superintending or coordinating all portions of the work of construction in accordance with contract documents and any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory agencies.
Structural Focus shall have no authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions.
The Client agrees that the General Contractor is solely responsible for job site safety, and warrants that this intent shall be made evident in the Client's agreement with the General Contractor.
The Client also agrees that Structural Focus and Structural Focus's consultants shall be indemnified and shall be made additional insureds under the General Contractor's general liability insurance policy. Furthermore, such insurance obtained by the General Contractor for the benefit of Structural Focus shall be primary to any other insurance purchased by Structural Focus. The obligation to indemnify is independent of the General Contractor's obligation to obtain insurance for the benefit of Structural Focus.
14. Right of Entry
The Client shall provide for Structural Focus's right to enter the property owned by the Client and/or others in order for Structural Focus to fulfill the Scope of Services included hereunder.
15. Project Representatives
The Client shall designate representatives who are authorized to make all decisions on the Client's behalf. The Client shall furnish a revised listing to Structural Focus when any changes affecting this listing are made.
16. Delays
Structural Focus is not responsible for delays caused by factors beyond the firm's reasonable control, including but not limited to delays because of strikes, lockouts, work slowdowns or stoppages, accidents, acts of God, failure of any governmental or other regulatory authority to act in a timely manner, failure of the Client to furnish timely information or approve or disapprove of Structural Focus's services or work product promptly, or delays caused by faulty performance by the Client or by contractors of any level. When such delays beyond Structural Focus's reasonable control occur, the Client agrees that Structural Focus is not responsible for damages, nor shall Structural Focus be deemed to be in default of this Agreement.
17. Assignment
Neither party to this Agreement shall transfer, sublet or assign any rights under or interest in this Agreement (including but not limited to monies that are due or monies that may be due) without the prior written consent of the other party, except to the extent that the effect of this limitation may be restricted by law. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any duty or responsibility under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however, shall prevent Structural Focus from employing such independent consultants, associates, subcontractors and subconsultants as Structural Focus, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate to assist in the performance of services hereunder.
18. Dispute Resolution
In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during or following the completion of the Project, Structural Focus and Client agree that, prior to any litigation, all claims, counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between the parties hereto, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or breach thereof, will be submitted to non-binding mediation before a neutral mediator that will last a minimum of four hours unless the matter is resolved in less than that amount of time.
Client and Structural Focus further agree to include the foregoing provision in any and all Agreements with independent contractors and consultants retained for the Project and to require all independent contractors and consultants to likewise include said provisions in any and all Agreements with subcontractors, subconsultants, suppliers, or fabricators so retained.
19. Termination of Services
This Agreement may be terminated upon ten (10) days written notice by either party should the other fail to perform its obligations hereunder. In the event of termination, the Client shall pay Structural Focus for all services rendered to the date of termination, including all reimbursable expenses, and termination expenses.
20. Third Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Structural Focus and Client only, and not for any other person or entity. To the extent that any other person or entity, including but not limited to the General Contractor and/or any of its Subcontractors and other Design Professionals, is benefited by the services performed by Structural Focus pursuant to this Agreement, such benefit is purely incidental and such other person or entity shall not be deemed a third party beneficiary to this contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create a contractual relationship with or a cause of action in favor of a third party against either Structural Focus or Client.
21. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding any choice of law rules which may direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any claim or controversy arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or the performance thereunder shall be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California.

22. Severability
If any portion of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforced.
23. Titles
The titles used in this Agreement are for general reference only and are not part of the Agreement.
24. Compensation
Compensation for engineering services shall be adequate to permit the proper fulfillment of Structural Focus's obligation to the Client and to the public. Although the engineering fee is a very small factor in the overall cost of the project, it is necessary for the Client to allow for a sufficient fee to permit adequate time for study of the engineering conditions to provide the Client with a service of value.
Unless stated otherwise in the Letter of agreement between Structural Focus and the Client, the compensation for our services will be billed to the Client on an hourly basis for each employee's time in accordance with the attached schedule of hourly rates. Our hourly rate schedule is subject to change upon notification. Time spent in traveling, when in the interest of the Project, will be charged to the Client. Direct non-salary expenses (reimbursable expenses) will be charged in addition to the hourly charges at cost, plus 10%.
Reimbursable expenses include, but are not limited to:
▪ Travel and subsistence when away from the home office on Project business. ▪ Identifiable communication expenses and postage other than for general correspondence. ▪ Plan check, permit and inspection fees required by governing bodies. ▪ Photographic services.
▪ Identifiable printing and reproduction costs applicable to the Project. ▪ Subcontracted services.
25. PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT
Invoices will be prepared in accordance with Structural Focus's standard invoicing practices and will be submitted to Client, at Structural Focus's option, either upon completion of any phase or on a monthly basis. Invoices are due and payable on receipt.
Unpaid Invoices: If Client fails to make any payment due Structural Focus for services and expenses within thirty days after receipt of Structural Focus's invoice, the amounts due Structural Focus will be increased at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law, if less) from said thirtieth day; and, in addition, Structural Focus may, after giving seven days written notice to Client, suspend services under this Agreement until Structural Focus has been paid in full all amounts due for services, expenses and charges. Payments will be credited first to interest and then to principal. In the event of a disputed or contested billing, only the portion so contested may be withheld from payment, and the undisputed portion will be paid. Any attorney fees or other costs incurred in collecting any delinquent amount shall be paid by the Client.
Retainers, if applicable to this Project, shall be credited to the final invoice(s).
Any inquiry or question concerning the substance or content of an invoice shall be submitted to Structural Focus in writing within ten days of receipt of the invoice. A failure to notify Structural Focus within this period shall constitute an acknowledgment that the service has been provided.
Payment upon Termination: In the event of termination, the Client shall pay Structural Focus for all services rendered by Structural Focus and Structural Focus's consultants through the date of termination, including all reimbursable expenses and termination expenses.
