In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, Eastern Division.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event t hat Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on the invoices only when the default is cured. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give

notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any Party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or Services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non- defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shal l not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal acti on, in law or in equity, to cure, correct, or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contr act Officer. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all Services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer.

Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all Services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any Services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.

If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant t o fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set -off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION

8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.

No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.

8.2 Conflict of Interest.

Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant’s performanc e of Services under this Agreement or any individual Task Order subsequently awarded.

Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer.

Additionally, pursuant to Rialto Municipal Code section 2.48.145, Consultant represents that it has disclosed whether it or its officers or employees is related to any officer or employee of the City by blood or marriage within the third degree which would subject such officer or employee to the prohibition of California Government Sections 87100 et. seq., Fair Political Practices Commission Regulation Section 18702, or Government Code Section 1090. To t his end, by approving this Agreement, Consultant attests under penalty of perjury, personally and on behalf of Consultant, as well its officers, representatives, that it/they have no relationship, as described above, or financial interests, as such term is defined in California Government Section 87100 et. seq., Fair Political Practices Commission Regulation Section 18702, or Government Code Section 1090, with any City of Rialto elected or appointed official or employee, except as specifically disclosed to the City in writing.

8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination.

Consultant covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or other protected class in the performance of this Agreement.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant shall provide On-Call Professional Traffic Engineering Services more generally described herein.

Consultant shall provide first-rate traffic engineering services on an as -needed basis for various City projects as assigned. Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Traffic Signal Design.

2. Providing traffic signal warrants and other warrants as requested.

3. Providing various traffic studies and technical documentations such as speed surveys, timing sheets, traffic counts, turning movements, etc.

4. Acting as the City of Rialto representative on contract document interpretation and related contract matters during construction of projects.

Typical duties may include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Preparation and/or examination of traffic engineering plans, specifications, designs, cost estimates, bid proposals and legal descriptions for a variety of construction and maintenance projects.

2. Serving at the discretion/direction of City Engineer or project manager on a variety of construction, capital improvement, or land development projects.

3. Representing the City in meetings with contractors, developers, other agencies or the public.

4. Reviewing/evaluating complex plans prepared by developers, consultants, utilities and others.

5. Performing contract administration functions, negotiations on behalf of the City, and recommend change orders when applicable.

6. Right of way acquisitions including but not limited to the preparation of legal descriptions, deeds, plats, and maps for permanent easements and temporary construction easements for traffic signal improvements and/or modifications.

7. Grant writing.

Specifically, Consultant shall provide those Services as outlined in its proposal dated Marc h 31, 2022, included on the following pages. 12 Section C. Understanding On-Call Traffic Engineering Services WEBB understands the City is looking for a civil engineering firm with large public works capital projects experience to provide on-call Traffic Engineering Services. WEBB has extensive experience providing similar services for public agenices throughout Inland Southern California.

Schedule Management
WEBB will prepare a preliminary schedule for all projects and will discuss milestones with the City at each Project Kick-off Meeting. In collaboration with the City, the project schedule and milestones are evaluated, and modifications are to be made to set the final baseline schedule during the initial project kick-off process. The baseline schedule is monitored and tracked by our project manager to maintain the project milestones and manage critical path items. A tracking schedule is provided with monthly updates and all schedule variances identified. Actions required to correct schedule deviations are developed and implemented by the team. The project schedule is an effective management tool, when developed and maintained, to guide the design team through the tasks required to successfully complete a project.

WEBB uses Microsoft Project software to schedule and track project tasks.

Scope Management
A detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is typically included in our fee budget proposal and utilized for each project duration with detailed tasks. With input from the City, the scope is finalized and adopted for the overall project. During the execution of each project, the scope is utilized as a baseline by our project manager, who manages the scope and work product. If potential changes are identified as each project develops, our project manager works with the City to clarify and approve any additional tasks necessary to complete each project.

Cost/Budget Management Plan
The proposed project budget is prepared based on tasks required to successfully complete each project. Our project manager tracks the final budget compared to the actual earned value, task completion, and cost-to-date and will identify any project cost variance monthly. Corrective actions are taken to maintain the project budget. If changes to the scope and budget are deemed necessary, our project manager works with the City to justify the need and clearly define the impacts.

Risk Management
The tracking of project issues and management of risks is facilitated through a tracking log and available to the City and the project team. With issues being raised through email, phone calls, and meetings throughout the duration of the project, having a centralized document ensures project impacts are identified, logged, assigned, analyzed, acted upon, and addressed as part of the design process.

Quality Management Plan (QMP)
Quality control is embedded in every stage of project development. Our QA/QC Program is designed to enhance the cooperation and synergy between the disciplines in-house, our design teams, sub-consultants, and the City. Our entire staff is part of the QA/QC Program and each plays a significant role in its implementation. As an underlying principle of our QA/QC Program, WEBB utilizes senior level staff to review the work product to utilize the experience and knowledge to each aspect of the project.

Our quality assurance begins with developing a close and continuous line of communication between the design team and the City. Our past experience indicates good communication is a critical element to project success. Under our project protocol, we keep an organized directory of all project-related communication, meeting minutes and action items, documents, images, data, and plan sets, which allows us to respond quickly to requests. We seek the input of operations and engineering staff throughout the project development to ensure the project meets the needs of the City. 13 Indian Canyon Drive Two-Way Conversion City of Palm Springs The proposed project schedule and work plan developed by the Project Manager is evaluated by our internal peer review team. We recognize that a comprehensive, realistic project schedule is critical to the decision-making process for the City. This schedule will include all interim milestones, reviews, third party reviews, and deliverables for the project.

As part of the preliminary design and evaluation of project alternatives, the key project team members meet and discuss the challenges of each of the proposed alternatives. By bringing these disciplines together early in the project, we are able to recommend the best project alternative and develop a list of critical design issues that need to be addressed as detailed design is implemented.

A key aspect of our Quality Control Program is the location of existing utilities. These must be confirmed in order to select the most cost-effective alignment. Our in-house utility coordination will acquire the alignments of the existing utilities from the utility companies and combine them for the initial conflict control maps. Our engineers will then walk each of the proposed alternatives and compare the mapped utilities to the site conditions to confirm the correlation between the mapping and the actual locations of bus stops, vaults, valves, catch basins, manholes, and overhead utilities. Potholing of utility crossings will be done to confirm x and y coordinates at each utility crossing so an accurate plan and profile can be designed.

The applicant hereby agrees that it will incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction Work, or modification thereof, as defined in the regulations of the Secretary of Labor at 41 CFR Chapter 60, which is paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the Federal Government or borrowed on the credit of the Federal Government pursuant to a grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, or undertaken pursuant to any Federal program involving such grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, the following equal opportunity clause:

During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action will include, but not be limited to the following:

Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:

Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contract or may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
