HOLD HARMLESS
A. CONSULTANT hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY, its officers, elected or appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, judgments, demands and defense costs (including, without limitation, costs and fees of litigation of every nature or liability of any kind or nature) arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT's (or CONSULTANT's subcontractors, if any) negligent (or alleged negligent) performance of this Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement by CONSULTANT, its officers, agents or employees except such loss or damage which was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY.

This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by CONSULTANT. 25-16636/3833894 3 of 11
B. To the extent that CONSULTANT performs "Design Professional Services" within the meaning of Civil Code Section 2782.8, then the following Hold Harmless provision applies in place of subsection A above:
"CONSULTANT hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, elected or appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, demands and defense costs (including, without limitation, costs and fees of litigation of every nature or liability of any kind of nature) to the extent that the claims against CONSULTANT arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to CONSULTANT exceed CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault. However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more other defendants to the claims and/or litigation is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, CONSULTANT shall meet and confer with CITY and other defendants regarding unpaid defense costs. The duty to indemnify, including the duty and the cost to defend, is limited as provided in California Civil Code Section 2782.8.
Regardless of whether subparagraph A or B applies, CITY shall be reimbursed by CONSULTANT for all costs and attorney's fees incurred by CITY in enforcing this obligation.
This indemnity 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 CONSULTANT.
9. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
CONSULTANT shall obtain and furnish to CITY a professional liability insurance policy covering the work performed by it hereunder. This policy shall provide coverage for CONSULTANT's professional liability in an amount not less than One Million Dollars 25-16636/3833892 4 of 11
($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate. The above-mentioned insurance shall not contain a self-insured retention without the express written consent of CITY; however an insurance policy "deductible" of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less is permitted. A claims-made policy shall be acceptable if the policy further provides that:
A. The policy retroactive date coincides with or precedes the initiation of the scope of work (including subsequent policies purchased as renewals or replacements).
B. CONSULTANT shall notify CITY of circumstances or incidents that might give rise to future claims.
CONSULTANT will make every effort to maintain similar insurance during the required extended period of coverage following PROJECT completion. If insurance is terminated for any reason, CONSULTANT agrees to purchase an extended reporting provision of at least two (2) years to report claims arising from work performed in connection with this Agreement.
If CONSULTANT fails or refuses to produce or maintain the insurance required by this section or fails or refuses to furnish the CITY with required proof that insurance has been procured and is in force and paid for, the CITY shall have the right, at the CITY's election, to forthwith terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall not effect Consultant's right to be paid for its time and materials expended prior to notification of termination. CONSULTANT waives the right to receive compensation and agrees to indemnify the CITY for any work performed prior to approval of insurance by the CITY.
10. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE
Prior to commencing performance of the work hereunder, CONSULTANT shall furnish to CITY a certificate of insurance subject to approval of the City Attorney evidencing the foregoing insurance coverage as required by this Agreement; the certificate shall:

CONSULTANT shall maintain the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the work under this Agreement is fully completed and accepted by CITY.
The requirement for carrying the foregoing insurance coverage shall not derogate from CONSULTANT's defense, hold harmless and indemnification obligations as set forth in this Agreement. CITY or its representative shall at all times have the right to demand the original or a copy of the policy of insurance. CONSULTANT shall pay, in a prompt and timely manner, the premiums on the insurance hereinabove required.
11. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
CONSULTANT is, and shall be, acting at all times in the performance of this Agreement as an independent contractor herein and not as an employee of CITY. CONSULTANT shall secure at its own cost and expense, and be responsible for any and all payment of all taxes, social security, state disability insurance compensation, unemployment compensation and other payroll deductions for CONSULTANT and its officers, agents and employees and all business licenses, if any, in connection with the PROJECT and/or the services to be performed hereunder.

be made in writing, notice of which shall be delivered to CONSULTANT as provided herein. In the event of termination, all finished and unfinished documents, exhibits, report, and evidence shall, at the option of CITY, become its property and shall be promptly delivered to it by CONSULTANT.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION

QUALITY ASSURANCE
produce the most fictive manner potle ying our en in pocal ming .
Our Quality Assurance Program is process-oriented and begins with experienced staff along with our firm's commitment to ongoing education. Our experience is based on hundreds of successtul projects and gratitied clients. Our staff is encouraged to continually pursue expanding their current knowledge base in order to allow us to be at the forefront of our industry. Continuing education is pursued in the following areas:
AIA - American Institute of Architects
ISA CA - International Society of Arborists, Certified Arborists ASLA - American Society of Landscape Architects
CPSI - Certified Playground Safety Inspector
LEED - Sustainable Practices
PSMJ - Project Management
QSP & QSD - Qualified SWPPP Practitioner and Developer
STMA - Sports Turf Managers Association
In addition to our well-educated and seasoned professionals is our thorough understanding of the project development process. This allows us to share information with our consultant team and clients so that our projects evolve in a proactive and well-orchestrated manner. Communication among staff, team members and client include the following project parameters:
Project Goals - clearly identified.
Program Needs - confirmed with the client.
Schedule - a project schedule is established at the onset which outlines the process evolution, major milestones, submittal dates, reviews, approvals, bid, construction, project opening, one- year follow up/review.
Budget - understanding the budget is critical to a project's success. The project budget is clarified (client staff, consultant fees, entitlement costs, construction costs, etc.) versus construction budget.
Construction Estimates - RJM maintains an extensive library of unit costs that are acquirec through our numerous public bids, as well as from specialty consultants and independent cost estimators. This allows our preliminary opinion of probable construction costs to accurately reflect the anticipated contractors' bids.
Our office environment is an open studio that allows for continual sharing of ideas and collaboration between our experienced principals, project managers, and staff members. We believe that this interaction promotes effective communication that is vitally important to the success of every project. Team meetings are scheduled at regular intervals to ensure that accurate communication on key project aspects is shared and understood.
Noteworthy to RJM and unique when compared to other firms, is that the same design team, individual staff members responsible for all preliminary design phases, will continue on and retair responsibility for the preparation of the final construction documents. We believe that this approach allows for a more consistent and accurate method of ensuring that all of those special details discussed in the design phase are carried throughout the final construction document process. This method is fundamental for maintaining quality assurance, limiting change orders, and effectively controlling construction costs.
The continual monitoring of project evolution provides the ability to confirm that appropriate goal, program ends, schedules oing bags This a ers a and eat unforeseen changes, carte ", do not occur inappropriately.
City of Huntington Beach • On-Call Landscape Architecture Services | 8 Methodology Section (continued)
QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
Our open office "bullpen" setting is especially conducive to regular milestone reviews and monitoring of a project. This review plays a central role in our quality control effort. The importance of plan review, checking, and cross-checking cannot be overemphasized, given the complexity and time constraints under which construction documents are often produced. Our review benchmarks include:
• Documents are comprehensively checked at key milestones and regular intervals. • One person checks all important dimensions, gradients and utility infrastructure. • The person responsible for the drawings reviews the specifications, and the specifier reviews the drawings.
• Regular consultant team meetings are held to review the documents produced by each for coordination (utility, civil, electrical, etc.)
• The Principal Landscape Architect will be ultimately responsible for all work produced under his or her direction. A constant review process is implemented in all phases of the work.
The Client is involved in reviewing plans at regular intervals and approving the construction documents before they are issued for bid.
Another integral component in our quality control process is the utilization of our "RJM lessons learned checklist." This checklist contains the learning experiences that we have encountered over 37 years of project development. It is a useful tool that allows us to systematically review our work and that of our consultant team to ensure that we are applying the collaborative experience learned to the benefit of our projects.
In addition to our in-house quality control efforts, we are also continually learning and applying the ongoing "lessons learned" from our outside plan check services provided to multiple agencies.
This methodical approach to outside projects gives us the unique advantage of reviewing our own plans and specifications with an impartiality that allows for a fresh and unbiased evaluation.
COMMUNICATIONS APPROACH
will be conducted through RJM Design Group.
1. Consultants can participate in online virtual meetings via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or other video conterencing applications. Meetings to be held at regular intervals during the early phases of the project and continue on an as-needed basis thereafter to assess progress and provide direction throughout the performance of the services and preparation of the project deliverables.
2. RJM will prepare all meeting agendas for identified scheduled meetings with the City and provide a summary of key issues with action items (meeting notes) discussed at each meeting.

Project Summary
In 2014, RJM Design Group completed a preliminary study of the existing conditions and the possible improvements to park amenities that could be made to update the existing Worthy Park site. Given the park's proximity to City Hall and the adjacent Huntington Beach High School, the site was very visible and showing signs of age. A racquetball court building, that had been shuttered nearly 10 years prior due to the waning interest in the sport, stood right in the center of the park in severe disrepair. The full-size basketball courts had been taken over by the surge in popularity of pickleball with the local community.
The racquetball building was razed giving way to a natural turf practice field, the basketball courts were converted to four pickleball courts, and new play equipment and a picnic shelter compliment the site.
Residents have overwhelmingly responded to the facelift, and are now requesting that the other portions of the park be updated to match.

As part of the renovations at the Edison Park complex, which hosts a variety of recreational amenities for the community, the City of Huntington Beach elected to construct a new temporary skate spot in an unused portion of the park. By soliciting feedback from the local community, the design consultant team of RJM Design Group and Newline Skateparks were able to craft an all- ages street feature skate spot that challenges experienced riders and helps teach beginners. This skate spot contains various elements including double-sided curbs, a manual pad, a grind bench, a flat bar, and most importantly, tons of flat ground.
Since the grand opening on July 29th, 2021, the simply designed skate spot has gotten rave reviews from the local skateboarding community, as well as parents for giving their young children a place to learn and continue the rich history of skateboarding in Huntington Beach.

Project Summary
Prominently positioned along Newport's picturesque Back Bay and visible from Pacific Coast Highway, the Lower Castaways Aquatic Center offers a dynamic recreational hub with rich historical significance. Situated at Lower Castaways Park-the historic site of the 1870 "Old Landing," where the first commercial vessel steamed into the bay to establish a "new port"-this project blends modern amenities with Newport's coastal heritage.
The 9,100 SF, two-story aquatics center is designed to serve a variety of community needs. The first level features a welcoming reception area, staff offices, men's and women's locker rooms and restrooms, family restrooms, a pool mechanical room, and convenient outdoor lockers. On the second level, visitors will find versatile multi-purpose rooms, an outdoor patio overlooking the stunning Back Bay, a kitchen, and additional restrooms for added convenience. The project site expands beyond the main building to include a separate, one-story lifeguard and concessions building, a competition-ready 25-yard by 50-meter pool, a therapeutic pool for rehabilitation and wellness programs, and a thematic splash pad for family-friendly play. Additionally, the site offers covered spectator seating and dedicated pool equipment storage, group and individual shade cabanas for relaxation, and hand launch and public beach access to support water recreation.
Covered outrigger and kayak dry storage racks are provided alongside a scenic stairway and trail connection to Upper Castaways Park. Coastal protection is enhanced with a reconstructed sea wall, while the site's rich history is preserved with a relocated historic 'Old Landing' plaque and monument entry sign. The site also includes a convenient parking lot with 189 stalls, a deceleration lane, and reconfigured sidewalks along Dover Drive for improved accessibility.

property to apply for Proposition
68 State Grant Funding aimed
at establishing a new park. The
state subsequently awarded funding to the Town to create a recreational facility that would benefit the underserved community. In response, Verde Design's multi-disciplinary team has developed various conceptual master plan options that align with the allocated budget, and they are currently in the process of preparing the construction drawing Project Team: Mark Baginski (PIC), Chris Giannini (Sr. PM), Mike Salazar (PM), and Gio Aguire (Designer)

FAIR OAKS PARK, SUNNYVALE
Verde Design was selected by
the City of Sunnyvale for the
renovation of Fair Oaks Park, a
15-acre community park located
in Northern Sunnyvale, originally
built in 1969. The design includes
the replacement of the existing
natural grass athletic field with
synthetic turf for its baseball,
soccer, and multi-use fields. This is
the Citys first park with synthetic
turf, which will greatly extend the
duration of playtime, particularly
during periods of heavy rainfall.
Alongside the remarkable fields,
we collaborated closely with
both the Magical Bridge Foundation and City staff to seamlessly integrate an all-inclusive playground into the park's overall design. This inclusive approach ensures that individuals of all abilities can enjoy the park's amenities and foster a sense of community. The project also included hardcourt improvements, expanded picnic areas, and circulation and infrastructure improvements.

JOHN D MORGAN PARK, CAMPBELL
The City's grand vision has been to provide
recreation and learning opportunities to
a large part of the population previously
underserved and set out to create an all-
inclusive play area within the mature John
D Morgan Park. The City engaged the PRC
and established an Ad Hoc subcommittee
to lead the design process. Community
engagement was integral in developing the
park site through several workshops and
lead to the 'Play in the Trees' theme and
play features.
The existing site was well established but
working within the existing forested site and underground root systems required an adept team to keep the project moving in a timely efficient process. The site also included underground utilities within easements that were protected in place during construction but required a team effort from manufacturer to installer to avoid field conflicts. The playground amenities allow users of all levels to play side by side without barriers and the introduction of a picture exchange communication board (PECS) for non verbal park users. This may be the first installation of a PECS board in a public park in northern California.

synthetic turf volleyball court, youth play area, game tables, ornamental fencing, stone pilasters, signage, pervious and impervious paving, site-specific improvements, drought- tolerant planting, and an MWELO-compliant pump and irrigation system that is designed to be switched over to recycled water when it becomes available. In Spring 2021, Verde Design completed Phase Il additions to the park, which included a natural grass multi-use field with accompanying shade structures, perimeter all-weather walking/running path, and field netting.
An outdoor fitness/exercise area is provided with additional seating and shade. The park is designed to have direct linkage to the train station upon build out. A perimeter pathway encompasses the new field with raised planting beds. A solar lighting was also installed for safety and emergency lighting.
