THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO AND

THIS AGREEMENT for consulting services is made by and between the City of South San Francisco (“City”) and (“Consultant”) (together sometimes referred to as the “Parties”) as of March 2, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

Section 1. SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Consultant shall provide to City the services described in the Scope of Work attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, at the time and place and in the manner specified therein. In the event of a conflict in or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and Exhibit A, the Agreement shall prevail.

1.1 Term of Services. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall end on _______________, the date of completion specified in Exhibit A, and Consultant shall complete the work described in Exhibit A on or before that date, unless the term of the Agreement is otherwise terminated or extended, as provided for in Section 8. The time provided to Consultant to complete the services required by this Agreement shall not affect the City’s right to terminate the Agreement, as provided for in Section 8.

1.2 Standard of Performance. Consultant shall perform all work required by this Agreement in a substantial, first-class manner and shall conform to the standards of quality normally observed by a person practicing in Consultant's profession.

1.3 Assignment of Personnel. Consultant shall assign only competent personnel to perform services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term of this Agreement, desires the reassignment of any such persons, Consultant shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, reassign such person or persons.

1.4 Time. Consultant shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance provided in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 above and to satisfy Consultant’s obligations hereunder.

Section 2. COMPENSATION. City hereby agrees to pay Consultant a sum not to exceed Seven Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand One Hundred Fifty-Nine Dollars ($761,845.00) notwithstanding any contrary indications that may be contained in Consultant’s proposal, for services to be performed and reimbursable costs incurred under this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and Consultant’s proposal, attached as Exhibit A, or Consultant’s compensation schedule, attached as Exhibit B, regarding the amount of compensation, the Agreement shall prevail. City shall pay Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the time and in the manner set forth herein. The payments specified below shall be the only payments from City to Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall submit all invoices to City in the manner specified herein.

Except as specifically authorized by City in writing, Consultant shall not bill City for duplicate services performed by more than one person.

Consultant and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to Consultant under this Agreement is based upon Consultant’s estimated costs of providing the services required hereunder, including salaries and benefits of employees and subcontractors of Consultant. Consequently, the Parties further agree that compensation hereunder is intended to include the costs of contributions to any pensions and/or annuities to which Consultant and its employees, agents, and subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such contributions beyond compensation required under this Agreement.

2.1 Invoices. Consultant shall submit invoices, not more often than once per month during the term of this Agreement, based on the cost for all services performed and reimbursable costs incurred prior to the invoice date. Invoices shall contain all the following information:
 Serial identifications of progress bills (i.e., Progress Bill No. 1 for the first invoice, etc.);
 The beginning and ending dates of the billing period;  A task summary containing the original contract amount, the amount of prior billings, the total due this period, the balance available under the Agreement, and the percentage of completion;
 At City’s option, for each work item in each task, a copy of the applicable time entries or time sheets shall be submitted showing the name of the person doing the work, the hours spent by each person, a brief description of the work, and each reimbursable expense;
 The total number of hours of work performed under the Agreement by each employee, agent, and subcontractor of Consultant performing services hereunder;  Consultant shall give separate notice to the City when the total number of hours worked by Consultant and any individual employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant reaches or exceeds eight hundred (800) hours within a twelve (12)- month period under this Agreement and any other agreement between Consultant and City. Such notice shall include an estimate of the time necessary to complete work described in Exhibit A and the estimate of time necessary to complete work under any other agreement between Consultant and City, if applicable.  The amount and purpose of actual expenditures for which reimbursement is sought;
 The Consultant’s signature.

2.2 Monthly Payment. City shall make monthly payments, based on invoices received, for services satisfactorily performed, and for authorized reimbursable costs incurred. City shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of an invoice that complies with all of the requirements above to pay Consultant. Each invoice shall include all expenses and actives performed during the invoice period for which Consultant expects to receive payment.

2.3 Final Payment. City shall pay the five percent (5%) of the total sum due pursuant to this Agreement within sixty (60) days after completion of the services and submittal to City of a final invoice, if all services required have been satisfactorily performed.

2.4 Total Payment. City shall pay for the services to be rendered by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement. City shall not pay any additional sum for any expense or cost whatsoever incurred by Consultant in rendering services pursuant to this Agreement. City shall make no payment for any extra, further, or additional service pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall Consultant submit any invoice for an amount in excess of the maximum amount of compensation provided above either for a task or for the entire Agreement, unless the Agreement is modified prior to the submission of such an invoice by a properly executed change order or amendment.

2.5 Hourly Fees. Fees for work performed by Consultant on an hourly basis shall not exceed the amounts shown on the compensation schedule attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B.

2.6 Reimbursable Expenses. The following constitute reimbursable expenses authorized by this Agreement: N/A. Reimbursable expenses shall not exceed $0. Expenses not listed above are not chargeable to City. Reimbursable expenses are included in the total amount of compensation provided under Section 2 of this Agreement that shall not be exceeded.

2.7 Payment of Taxes; Tax Withholding. Consultant is solely responsible for the payment of employment taxes incurred under this Agreement and any similar federal or state taxes. To be exempt from tax withholding, Consultant must provide City with a valid California Franchise Tax Board form 590 (“Form 590”), as may be amended and such Form 590 shall be attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit ____. Unless Consultant provides City with a valid Form 590 or other valid, written evidence of an exemption or waiver from withholding, City may withhold California taxes from payments to Consultant as required by law. Consultant shall obtain, and maintain on file for three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement, Form 590s (or other written evidence of exemptions or waivers) from all subcontractors. Consultant accepts sole responsibility for withholding taxes from any non-California resident subcontractor and shall submit written documentation of compliance with Consultant’s withholding duty to City upon request.

2.8 Payment upon Termination. In the event that the City or Consultant terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, the City shall compensate the Consultant for all outstanding costs and reimbursable expenses incurred for work satisfactorily completed as of the date of written notice of termination. Consultant shall maintain adequate logs and timesheets to verify costs incurred to that date.

2.9 Authorization to Perform Services. The Consultant is not authorized to perform any services or incur any costs whatsoever under the terms of this Agreement until receipt of authorization from the Contract Administrator.

2.10 False Claims Act. Presenting a false or fraudulent claim for payment, including a change order, is a violation of the California False Claims Act and may result in treble damages and a fine of five thousand ($5,000) to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation.

2.11 Prevailing Wage. Where applicable, the wages to be paid for a day's work to all classes of laborers, workmen, or mechanics on the work contemplated by this Agreement, shall be not less than the prevailing rate for a day’s work in the same trade or occupation in the locality within the state where the work hereby contemplates to be performed as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Director’s authority under Labor Code Section 1770, et seq. Each laborer, worker or mechanic employed by Consultant or by any subcontractor shall receive the wages herein provided for. The Consultant shall pay two hundred dollars ($200), or whatever amount may be set by Labor Code Section 1775, as may be amended, per day penalty for each worker paid less than prevailing rate of per diem wages. The difference between the prevailing rate of per diem wages and the wage paid to each worker shall be paid by the Consultant to each worker.

An error on the part of an awarding body does not relieve the Consultant from responsibility for payment of the prevailing rate of per diem wages and penalties pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770 1775. The City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Consultant for any wage rate in excess of prevailing wage rate set forth. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Consultant.
a. Posting of Schedule of Prevailing Wage Rates and Deductions. If the schedule of prevailing wage rates is not attached hereto pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, the Consultant shall post at appropriate conspicuous points at the site of the project a schedule showing all determined prevailing wage rates for the various classes of laborers and mechanics to be engaged in work on the project under this contract and all deductions, if any, required by law to be made from unpaid wages actually earned by the laborers and mechanics so engaged.
b. Payroll Records. Each Consultant and subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by the Consultant in connection with the public work. Such records shall be certified and submitted weekly as required by Labor Code Section 1776.” Section 3. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT. Except as set forth herein, Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide all facilities and equipment that may be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement. City shall make available to Consultant only the facilities and equipment listed in this section, and only under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

City shall furnish physical facilities such as desks, filing cabinets, and conference space, as may be reasonably necessary for Consultant’s use while consulting with City employees and reviewing records and the information in possession of the City. The location, quantity, and time of furnishing those facilities shall be in the sole discretion of City. In no event shall City be obligated to furnish any facility that may involve incurring any direct expense, including but not limited to computer, long-distance telephone or other communication charges, vehicles, and reproduction facilities.

Section 4. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Before beginning any work under this Agreement, Consultant, at its own cost and expense, unless otherwise specified below, shall procure the types and amounts of insurance listed below against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property that may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Consultant and its agents, representatives, employees, and subcontractors. Consistent with the following provisions, Consultant shall provide proof satisfactory to City of such insurance that meets the requirements of this section and under forms of insurance satisfactory in all respects, and that such insurance is in effect prior to beginning work to the City. Consultant shall maintain the insurance policies required by this section throughout the term of this Agreement. The cost of such insurance shall be included in the Consultant's bid. Consultant shall not allow any subcontractor to commence work on any subcontract until Consultant has obtained all insurance required herein for the subcontractor(s).

The Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance shall be provided with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per accident. In the alternative, Consultant may rely on a selfinsurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self-insurance complies fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code. Determination of whether a self-insurance program meets the standards of the Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator, as defined in Section 10.9. The insurer, if insurance is provided, or the Consultant, if a program of self-insurance is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against the City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers for loss arising from work performed under this Agreement.

4.2.1 General requirements. Consultant, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain commercial general and automobile liability insurance for the term of this Agreement in an amount not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per occurrence, combined single limit coverage for risks associated with the work contemplated by this Agreement.

4.4.2 Verification of coverage. Prior to beginning any work under this Agreement, Consultant shall furnish City with complete copies of all policies delivered to Consultant by the insurer, including complete copies of all endorsements attached to those policies. All copies of policies and certified endorsements shall show the signature of a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. If the City does not receive the required insurance documents prior to the Consultant beginning work, this shall not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them.

The City reserves the right to require complete copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

4.4.3 Notice of Reduction in or Cancellation of Coverage. A certified endorsement shall be attached to all insurance obtained pursuant to this Agreement stating that coverage shall not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, or reduced in coverage or in limits, except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City. In the event that any coverage required by this section is reduced, limited, cancelled, or materially affected in any other manner, Consultant shall provide written notice to City at Consultant’s earliest possible opportunity and in no case later than ten (10) working days after Consultant is notified of the change in coverage.

4.4.4 Additional insured; primary insurance. City and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be covered as additional insureds with respect to each of the following: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of Consultant, including the City’s general supervision of Consultant; products and completed operations of Consultant, as applicable; premises owned, occupied, or used by Consultant; and automobiles owned, leased, or used by the Consultant in the course of providing services pursuant to this Agreement. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers.

A certified endorsement must be attached to all policies stating that coverage is primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and that no insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be called upon to contribute to a loss under the coverage.

4.4.5 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Consultant shall disclose to and obtain the approval of City for the self-insured retentions and deductibles before beginning any of the services or work called for by any term of this Agreement.

Further, if the Consultant’s insurance policy includes a self-insured retention that must be paid by a named insured as a precondition of the insurer’s liability, or which has the effect of providing that payments of the self-insured retention by others, including additional insureds or insurers do not serve to satisfy the selfinsured retention, such provisions must be modified by special endorsement so as to not apply to the additional insured coverage required by this agreement so as to not prevent any of the parties to this agreement from satisfying or paying the selfinsured retention required to be paid as a precondition to the insurer’s liability.

Additionally, the certificates of insurance must note whether the policy does or does not include any self-insured retention and also must disclose the deductible.

During the period covered by this Agreement, only upon the prior express written authorization of Contract Administrator, Consultant may increase such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to City, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. The Contract Administrator may condition approval of an increase in deductible or self-insured retention levels with a requirement that Consultant procure a bond, guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses that is satisfactory in all respects to each of them.

In addition to any other remedies City may have if Consultant fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies, which are alternatives to other remedies City may have and are not the exclusive remedy for Consultant’s breach:
a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under the Agreement;
b. Order Consultant to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes due to Consultant hereunder, or both stop work and withhold any payment, until Consultant demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof; and/or c. Terminate this Agreement.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall, to the fullest extent allowed by law, with respect to all Services performed in connection with this Agreement, indemnify, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance (“Claims”), to the extent caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents.

5.1 Insurance Not in Place of Indemnity.

By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

Section 9. KEEPING AND STATUS OF RECORDS.

9.1 Records Created as Part of Consultant’s Performance. All reports, data, maps, models, charts, studies, surveys, photographs, memoranda, plans, studies, specifications, records, files, or any other documents or materials, in electronic or any other form, that Consultant prepares or obtains pursuant to this Agreement and that relate to the matters covered hereunder shall be the property of the City. Consultant hereby agrees to deliver those documents to the City upon termination of the Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the documents and other materials, including but not limited to those described above, prepared pursuant to this Agreement are prepared specifically for the City and are not necessarily suitable for any future or other use. City and Consultant agree that, until final approval by City, all data, plans, specifications, reports and other documents are confidential and will not be released to third parties without prior written consent of both Parties except as required by law.

9.2 Consultant’s Books and Records. Consultant shall maintain any and all ledgers, books of account, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, and other records or documents evidencing or relating to charges for services or expenditures and disbursements charged to the City under this Agreement for a minimum of three (3) years, or for any longer period required by law, from the date of final payment to the Consultant to this Agreement.

9.3 Inspection and Audit of Records. Any records or documents that Section 9.2 of this Agreement requires Consultant to maintain shall be made available for inspection, audit, and/or copying at any time during regular business hours, upon oral or written request of the City. Under California Government Code Section 8546.7, if the amount of public funds expended under this Agreement exceeds ten thousand ($10,000.00), the Agreement shall be subject to the examination and audit of the State Auditor, at the request of City or as part of any audit of the City, for a period of three (3) years after final payment under the Agreement.

9.4 Records Submitted in Response to an Invitation to Bid or Request for Proposals. All responses to a Request for Proposals (RFP) or invitation to bid issued by the City become the exclusive property of the City. At such time as the City selects a bid, all proposals received become a matter of public record, and shall be regarded as public records, with the exception of those elements in each proposal that are defined by Consultant and plainly marked as “Confidential,” "Business Secret" or “Trade Secret." The City shall not be liable or in any way responsible for the disclosure of any such proposal or portions thereof, if Consultant has not plainly marked it as a "Trade Secret" or "Business Secret," or if disclosure is required under the Public Records Act.

Although the California Public Records Act recognizes that certain confidential trade secret information may be protected from disclosure, the City may not be in a position to establish that the information that a prospective bidder submits is a trade secret. If a request is made for information marked "Trade Secret" or "Business Secret," and the requester takes legal action seeking release of the materials it believes does not constitute trade secret information, by submitting a proposal, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its agents and employees, from any judgment, fines, penalties, and award of attorneys’ fees awarded against the City in favor of the party requesting the information, and any and all costs connected with that defense. This obligation to indemnify survives the City's award of the contract. Consultant agrees that this indemnification survives as long as the trade secret information is in the City's possession, which includes a minimum retention period for such documents.

Section 10 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

10.1 Attorneys’ Fees. If a Party to this Agreement brings any action, including arbitration or an action for declaratory relief, to enforce or interpret the provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other relief to which that Party may be entitled. The court may set such fees in the same action or in a separate action brought for that purpose.

10.2 Venue. In the event that either Party brings any action against the other under this Agreement, the Parties agree that trial of such action shall be vested exclusively in the state courts of California in the County of San Mateo or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

10.3 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds or rules that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the provisions of this Agreement not so adjudged shall remain in full force and effect. The invalidity in whole or in part of any provision of this Agreement shall not void or affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement.

10.4 No Implied Waiver of Breach. The waiver of any breach of a specific provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other breach of that term or any other term of this Agreement.

10.6 Use of Recycled Products. Consultant shall prepare and submit all reports, written studies and other printed material on recycled paper to the extent it is available at equal or less cost than virgin paper.

10.7 Conflict of Interest. Consultant may serve other clients, but none whose activities within the corporate limits of City or whose business, regardless of location, would place Consultant in a “conflict of interest,” as that term is defined in the Political Reform Act, codified at California Government Code Section 81000, et seq.

Submitted as an electronic PDF copy via OpenGov at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/ssf Subject: Proposal to Provide Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Orange Memorial Park Main Playground Replacement Project
Dear Mr. Vitale,
4LEAF, Inc. (“4LEAF”) is excited to have the opportunity to submit our proposal to provide Construction Management (CM) and Inspection services for the City of South San Francisco’s (“City”) Orange Memorial Park Main Playground Replacement Project. We currently have contracts with the City to provide Plan Review and Fire Plan Review services, and we would be honored to provide another scope of service to benefit the City and the local community.
 Project Experience
4LEAF is highly experienced and qualified to perform CM and Inspection services in support of the City’s master plan for Orange Memorial Park. 4LEAF has more than 24 years of experience providing CM and Inspection services to a wide variety of municipal projects for numerous public agencies in California. Since 2003, 4LEAF has been the sole provider of on-call CM and inspection services for the State of California Department of Parks and Rec (“DPR”), performing more than 400 work orders throughout the life of these contracts, and assigning upwards of 50 construction managers and inspectors concurrently throughout the state to service DPR projects. Some of 4LEAF’s recent experience providing CM and Inspection services for park renovation projects includes:
 California DPR On-Call Project Management (PM), CM, and Inspection Services.  City of Cupertino Jollyman Park All-Inclusive Playground Project.  City of Cupertino Wilson Park Basketball Court and Community Garden Improvement Project.  City of San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department Central Park Playground Improvement Project (in progress).
 City of San Mateo Parks and Recreation Department East Hillsdale Park Playground Improvement Project (in progress).
 County of San Mateo East Promenade Rejuvenation Project.  County of San Mateo Tunitas Creek Beach Improvements Project.

The work we completed earlier this year for the City of Cupertino’s Jollyman Park All-Inclusive Playground Project is a recent example of our success providing CM and Inspection services for a project similar in size and scope to the Orange Memorial Park Main Playground Replacement. The Jollyman Park project included replacing and expanding the previous playground with a brand-new all-inclusive playground, installing new pre-fabricated restroom facilities, and constructing a landscaped buffer area around the park’s perimeter. We provided CM and Inspection throughout the entire construction process, from site preparation (clearing, grubbing, and grading, installing stormwater drainage and wet utilities), to installation of equipment (play structures, swings, interactive elements), and surfacing and landscape. The all-inclusive playground was designed to be a welcoming play area for people of all abilities and all ages.

The all-inclusive playground at Jollyman Park is approximately 0.85 acres and is comparable in size to the

We are also currently performing CM and Inspection for two City of San Mateo playground improvement projects, the Central Park Playground and East Hillsdale Park Playground. Due to the nature of the sites and the type of work involved, these projects required us to partner with multiple subconsultants, including an environmental firm to perform nesting bat and bird surveys, an industrial hygienist firm to perform a hazardous materials building survey prior to demolition of the existing restroom building, an arborist to perform tree management and preservation services, an archaeological and paleontological consultant, and a Certified Playground Safety Inspector. Although these services are not explicitly mentioned in the City of South San Francisco’s RFP, we do want to assure you that if they are needed, 4LEAF has a strong team of specialists to call upon. Our familiarity with these types of playground replacement projects gives us great confidence that we would be the right choice for the City.

In addition to our familiarity with playground replacement projects, 4LEAF is also a proven CM consultant in terms of managing a major project through planning, design, bidding, pre-construction, construction, and closeout. For example, we provided PM, CM, and Inspection services for the City of Pacifica’s Wet Weather Equalization Basin Project. 4LEAF provided PM services during the Geotechnical Investigation, Engineering Design, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Evaluation phases of the project. 4LEAF performed constructability reviews during Design Phase, then led the pre-construction phase, advertised and awarded the project during the bidding process, provided dedicated CM and Inspection throughout construction, and finally saw the project through successful completion in post-construction.  Staff and Project Team Expertise
4LEAF staff have experience that is specific to the City’s needs, including:
 Providing qualified construction managers to provide contract administration and management services for projects and serve as the primary point of contact.  Providing constructability review and bid support services.  Managing and inspecting construction activities for compliance with design plans and specifications.
 Managing and inspecting park renovation projects that include the installation of modern playgrounds with all-inclusive design.
 Coordinating projects with multiple City departments, stakeholders, and community members.  Adhering to client’s Quality Assurance Programs (QAP) to ensure that all materials and workmanship meet contract specifications.
 Managing and inspecting projects within the jurisdiction’s right of way.  Assisting with public outreach efforts prior to and throughout construction activities.

We look forward to the opportunity of working with the City of South San Francisco. This proposal has been signed by Gene Barry, P.E., who is a Corporate Officer and Vice President of 4LEAF. He will be 4LEAF’s designated Project Manager. Gene is authorized to contractually bind 4LEAF and to negotiate a contract with the City. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding this proposal, please feel free to contact Gene in 4LEAF’s Pleasanton Office at (925) 462-5959, or by email at [email protected]. We confirm receipt of Addendum 1, dated November 4, 2025.

Respectfully Submitted,
4LEAF, Inc.

Procedures must be followed, and documentation must be maintained to properly document and close out a project. 4LEAF is dedicated to improving the effectiveness of our methodology that helps our clients achieve their goals. With this collective expertise, we will provide the City of South San Francisco (“City”) with reliable and trustworthy CM and Inspection services to support the City’s Orange Memorial Park Main Playground Replacement Project (“Project”).

SECTION 3: UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
Orange Memorial Park is one of the City’s largest and most widely used parks. The City updated the Orange Memorial Park Master Plan in February 2023 that included the following goals:
 Engage the community and stakeholders to better understand desired amenities and improvements.  Develop a master plan to help guide future park improvements.  Incorporate and study impacts of current and proposed projects within the park limits.  Determine the best use of underutilized areas of the park including the former Old Mazzanti property These goals were achieved through an extensive master planning process that is described in the updated 2023 Master Plan prepared by Callander Associates (“CALA”). To ensure the master plan was responsive to current community needs and desires, a series of meetings were organized to collect feedback from the public and stakeholders. Additional input was gathered through printed and online surveys.

The 2023 Master Plan identified the Preferred Concept Plan that separated Orange Memorial Park into five phased areas that include a mix of amenities from several proposed alternatives. The five areas were separated in a manner that allows items to be built independently of one another to the maximum extent possible so that the overall project could be constructed as monies become available.

The inclusion of “all ability play” as a component in the Preferred Concept Plan was critical to the community, stakeholders, City, and committees. 4LEAF understands that the services outlined under this RFP consist of performing CM and Inspection services for the planned improvements to the Orange Memorial Park Main Playground, which was last renovated in 2011. This Project will replace the old playground with modern state-ofthe-art equipment and include an all-inclusive design to benefit all members of the community.

Our approach to providing CM and Inspection services will be to develop and maintain a collaborative approach with the City, other project stakeholders, and the local community. More than that, as your consultant, we understand that our role is to be an advocate on behalf of the City and represent the City’s best interests. 4LEAF’s team will function as an extension of City staff, seamlessly integrating with the personnel and practices established by the City while adding our expertise and experience from similar projects. 4LEAF has extensive experience performing CM and Inspection services for park improvement projects, in addition to our abundance of experience providing services on small-, medium-, and large-scale civil infrastructure construction projects. We are more than capable of adapting to dynamic situations and responding effectively to various issues that may spring forth during the entire course of a project. We will manage each phase of the Project, including programming, planning, and design; pre-construction; advertising and awarding; construction; and post-construction.

Proven Success Performing CM and Inspection Services for Park and Playground Improvement Projects.

Earlier this year, we successfully completed a similar all-inclusive / all-abilities playground replacement for the City of Cupertino’s Jollyman All-Inclusive Park, and we’re currently performing CM and Inspection services for two other playground projects in the City of San Mateo. We have developed a strong understanding of current best practices in completing these types of projects. Detailed descriptions of these projects are provided in the preceding section.

Proven Success Managing Civil Infrastructure Projects Through All Phases. 4LEAF has experience managing all tasks described in the RFP’s Scope of Services. For example, we performed PM, CM, and Inspection services for the City of Pacifica’s Wet Weather Equalization (EQ) Basin Project. The EQ Basin project began in October 2015 with a programming, planning, and design phase very similar to what is described in the City’s RFP for Orange Memorial Park. We assisted the City of Pacifica with defining the scope, developing a PM plan and project schedule, and defining roles and key tasks. 4LEAF helped develop the RFPs for geotechnical, engineering design, and CEQA services for the project, and assisted the City in selecting the geotechnical, engineering design, and CEQA subconsultants for the Project. 4LEAF staff helped prepare and give presentations and answer questions for City Planning Commission and City Council meetings that were open to the public.

Throughout the duration of the project, 4LEAF staff regularly continued assisting with other public outreach efforts. The EQ Basin and conveyance pipelines were constructed in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and our team routinely responded to resident’s questions and concerns about the construction activities. 4LEAF held regular meetings with the geotechnical, engineering design, and CEQA consultants during the design phase and performed constructability reviews of the 30%, 65%, 95%, and 100% submittal packages. 4LEAF worked with the design team to advertise the project to potential bidders (contractors), held a pre-bid conference, assisted with reviewing and evaluating contractor bids, and making recommendations for project award. 4LEAF provided CM and Inspection services throughout the construction phase. The full details of construction activities can be found in our EQ Basin Project description in the previous section of this proposal. Broadly speaking, our CM duties entailed managing the construction project, maintaining construction documents, providing the client with status updates, and processing invoices, evaluating and processing approved change orders, processing RFIs and submittals, and reviewing and making recommendations for payment of contractor progress payments. We managed the activities of our subconsultant team firms, who performed special inspections and materials testing, biological assessment services, and biological survey and monitoring services. 4LEAF’s Construction Inspectors performed daily observation and inspection of the work. They completed daily inspection reports, took progress photos, verified materials and quantities, and performed other tasks to guard the client against defects and deficiencies in the contractor’s work. Our team ensured that the contractor’s work complied with the contract documents. 4LEAF was also responsible for coordinating and ensuring contractor compliance with CEQA Mitigation Monitoring.

PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CM AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE ORANGE MEMORIAL PARK MAIN PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT PROJECT DECEMBER 5, 2025 SECTIONS 2 THROUGH 8 PAGE 13 OF 33
The EQ Basin Project was nominated and recognized for two awards:
 2020 American Public Works Association – Silicon Valley Section, Project of the Year  2020 American Society of Civil Engineers – San Francisco Section, Environmental Project of the Year Potential Challenges and Solutions for the Orange Memorial Park Main Playground Replacement Project With our recent experience performing playground replacement projects, we have a strong understanding of the challenges and issues that may arise. However, we also have plans and solutions in place to address these potential challenges.
 Minimizing the Project’s impact on the rest of the park.

Orange Memorial Park is one of the City’s largest and mostused parks, attracting numerous visitors and hosting a variety of community programs and special events throughout the year. We recognize that construction work to replace the main playground could impact the surrounding areas of the park, such as the Joseph A. Fernekes Building and the new Aquatic Center. Furthermore, we recognize that there is a possibility that the Aquatic Center could still be under construction when the Main Playground Replacement Project begins, so it would be important not to have any logistical conflicts with any other nearby construction. The contractor will be required to provide a site logistics plan which gives detailed information regarding how construction vehicles will enter the job site, where materials and equipment will be placed and secured, the location of a temporary construction debris and waste accumulation zone, and other logistical information. The contractor will be required to set up appropriate barriers and signage to provide clarity and safety for park visitors so that people are aware of which paths they can walk through safely to avoid the active job site. Our on-site construction inspector will ensure contractor compliance.
 Managing procurement. Some items or materials may have long lead-times. However, with our recent and ongoing familiarity with park replacement projects, we have knowledge of procurement timelines, especially as they pertain to the materials needed in these types of projects. Our construction manager will regularly communicate with the contractor to confirm they submit the necessary purchase orders in advance, with plenty of lead time, to ensure that the Project remains on schedule.  Regularly communicating with the design team to confirm that public outreach efforts are appropriately promoted so that the community has a chance to be alerted and aware of news, updates, and other communications. 4LEAF has experience assisting with public outreach using websites, surveys, fact sheets, and being available at City Council meetings, community meetings, open houses, and popup events.  When construction equipment and materials are transported to or from the construction site, we will ensure that the contractor complies with the approved Traffic Control Plan and maintains appropriate signage and flagging personnel. We will seek to minimize disruptions for visitors and maximize safety.

SECTION 4: WORK PLAN

PROGRAMMING, PLANNING, AND DESIGN
The first stage of the project is Programming, Planning, and Design. Performing this opening phase well will give the entire project a solid framework. Through reviewing existing project documents, 4LEAF will lead the Project team in exploring the general Project requirements and assist the City with clearly identifying the Project’s scope in a manner that meets the City’s goals. Defining, understanding, and documenting the overall project management plan, roles and responsibilities, key tasks, project schedule, allows the entire Project team to work from the same starting point as early as possible, and establishes a precedent for clear communication. Gathering as much information as possible early on also helps the City’s design team do their best work. Generally, in most projects, the project owner and the design team are the most involved stakeholders during this phase. However, as your CM consultant, 4LEAF will be equally invested in the success of the Project. We will work with the City to identify any potential changes that could improve the design or constructability, confirming that the design is consistent with the project scope, schedule, and budget. 4LEAF understands that the programming, planning, and design phase, if done with excellence, will make the later tasks easier. This helps mitigate risks and prevent cost overruns.

We will review priorities, opportunities, constraints, and present the City with a list of potential conflicts, schedule challenges, and budget issues. We will prepare an overall project management plan which clearly identifies roles and responsibilities, key tasks, the overall project schedule, and project management tools. The schedule will reflect the Project’s priorities, available resources, permitting, and budget. We will define and maintain a master schedule, establish project controls and procedures, assist with managing the Project budget (including all construction and non-construction costs), assist with public outreach, manage the work of the design team, and work with City staff to make recommendations to improve design and constructability and reduce costs. If appropriate, we will provide recommendations or suggestions to improve public benefit, optimize project delivery, and/or ensure public safety.
4LEAF will also assist with the selection of any consultants required to prepare necessary surveys (topographic, boundary, utilities, etc.) and studies (geotechnical, environmental, etc.). We will manage and perform all these preliminary elements so that the Project gets off to an efficient start. 4LEAF’s proposed Project / Construction Manager, Gopi Chandran, will lead these efforts, with assistance from Masood Sattari, our proposed Construction Representative / Inspector.

PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CM AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE ORANGE MEMORIAL PARK MAIN PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT PROJECT DECEMBER 5, 2025 SECTIONS 2 THROUGH 8 PAGE 15 OF 33

PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
During the pre-construction phase, 4LEAF will review project plans, timelines and schedules, specifications, reports, and permits. After a thorough review and analysis, 4LEAF will provide a list of items to the City Project Manager regarding potential conflicts and constructability issues. We propose constructability reviews at the 60%, 95%, and 100% PS&E submittals to identify and confirm consistency between the plans, specifications, and estimates. Thorough constructability reviews encompass an “office to field” translation of the plans and specifications. This can mitigate many issues by catching them before they are encountered in the field. 4LEAF will also arrange and chair routine project meetings with the City, the design team, and various project stakeholders to discuss all pertinent issues related to the Project. Through accomplishing these tasks, broad strokes are transformed into specific details. The pre-construction tasks refine initial project ideas into concrete plans so that by the time the project reaches the advertise and award phase, the bid package will be clear, accurate, and as technically precise as possible. All of the meticulous work completed during pre-construction will help the construction phase maintain its schedule and budget while delivering the quality specified in the project plans.

ADVERTISE AND AWARD SERVICES
4LEAF will assist the City during the Project’s public bidding and award phase. 4LEAF will use the City’s Procure Now software to advertise the Project in accordance with all applicable regulations. 4LEAF will hold a pre-bid conference for prospective contractors (including preparing the agenda, maintaining sign-in sheets, and preparing meeting minutes). We will collaborate with the City and the City’s design consultant to prepare responses and clarifications to bidder questions concerning the plans, specifications, and estimates. We will also prepare addendums as necessary. We will assist the City during bid opening by reviewing and evaluating the bids, and conferring with the City, and we will help the City prepare a recommendation and presentation to the City Council to award the construction of the project. In addition, 4LEAF can assist the City with issuing the notice to proceed (NTP), help the City coordinate the pre-purchase of any long lead-time materials or equipment, and aid the City with other tasks as necessary.

CM SERVICES DURING CONSTRUCTION
4LEAF’s assigned staff will work with the City to run an efficient and quality project.

Pre-Construction Meeting
The 4LEAF team will conduct a pre-construction meeting with the Project team including City staff, the design consultant, the contractor and subcontractors, and other project stakeholders. A draft meeting agenda will be provided to the City and the final agenda distributed to meeting invitees prior to the meeting. Topics to be discussed at the pre-construction conference will include but not be limited to:
 Performing introductions and identifying roles / responsibilities. Circulate a sign-in sheet for completing names, company names, phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses of all attendees for use in generating the Project contact list.
 Discussing Project communication protocols for the project team and with the public.  Identifying the lines of communication and authority for the City, 4LEAF’s team, the City’s design consultant, contractors, subcontractors, regulatory agencies, and other project stakeholders.  Discussing health and safety protocols and expectations and stressing the importance of establishing a collaborative role for every worker onsite to maintain the public’s safety.  Reviewing the status of any regulatory permits and identifying the responsible party(s) for completing if necessary.
 Discussing the process and time frames for submitting RFIs, submittals, transmittals, and change order requests, etc.

 Prepare and submit final closeout documentation.

We understand that an effective QA / QC Plan is necessary to deliver a quality project and that the plan has a place in each stage of the project’s life. The accompanying graphic illustrates how QA and QC are at the heart of a project.

We believe that quality must be maintained as the ultimate priority of every person involved in a project. Without quality, the other elements of the project simply do not matter. We agree with the definition of an effective Quality Management System as “not just one where good products and services are delivered;” rather, an effective Quality Management System is one that continuously seeks to improve the products and services being delivered and the delivery processes used by the organization.4LEAF’s commitment to the City is that we will work alongside you to implement project-specific QA and QC procedures that will not only meet but will surpass project quality standards.  We will ensure the contractor is in compliance with the Project’s contract documents at all times.  We will monitor and assist with QA deviations and non-compliance actions until resolved.  We will systematically and continually review inspection procedures and activities for compliance.  We will implement and maintain effective procedures to ensure that all construction work complies with the requirements of the construction contract.
 Our QA program will emphasize both preventative and verification activities. We will conduct and formally document verification processes, including both daily and weekly review of documents and maintenance of checklists and / or logs for control of documentation.  We will provide inventory control for any owner-furnished equipment or materials, including logging in equipment, conducting inspections, verifying materials and quantities, material disbursement and equipment log out.
 We will oversee construction contractors' testing, including frequency of tests and retests, and we will verify that the results meet the Project’s contract documents.  We will maintain test reports and logs for verification of tests performed.  We will maintain a non-compliance report (NCR) / log and verify resolution of all issues.

Construction Observation / Inspection Services
Once construction begins, and throughout the duration of construction, 4LEAF’s full-time Construction Inspector will perform on-site inspections to check the quality and quantity of the work performed by all trades and guard the City against defects and deficiencies in the work by the contractor. The following represents the general responsibilities for providing Inspection services:
 Provide daily construction inspection and documentation duties for all job-related activities.  Monitor and document contractor’s work for adherence to contract plans and specifications as well as their site logistics plan, traffic control plan, and health and safety plan.  Collect daily digital photographs and provide continual review of plans and specifications. Progress photos and daily inspection reports will be archived on a regular basis. A baseline condition will be established by photos and video before the start of construction. During schedule updates, delay analyses, and change order analysis, these photos can serve as a reference.  Inspect materials and equipment upon delivery for compliance with construction contract documents.

PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CM AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE ORANGE MEMORIAL PARK MAIN PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT PROJECT DECEMBER 5, 2025 SECTIONS 2 THROUGH 8 PAGE 19 OF 33
 Review contractor record drawing markups and punch lists.  Assist the City with monthly progress payment recommendations by making measurements of bid items on the project cost breakdown, checking the percent complete in the field, and assisting with Contractor meetings to resolve any discrepancies in percent complete.  As appropriate, issue code violation notices.
 Coordinate with 4LEAF’s Construction Manager and the general contractor for final inspection.

POST-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The post-construction and contract closeout phase consists of three distinct closeout elements: physical closeout, document closeout, and fiscal closeout. This phase will be overseen by 4LEAF’s Construction Manager. Project deliverables are included below.

Physical closeout consists of a series of inspections performed to document that the work is complete to one of two levels: (1) Substantial Completion – when work, or a designated portion of the work, is sufficiently complete that the client or the public may utilize it; or (2) Final Completion – acceptance by the client that the project is completed in full. Applicable certificates will be issued at each stage of completion, and punch lists will be updated during each inspection.

Document closeout is the process of assembling and transferring the required contract files from 4LEAF to the City when the contract is complete. Documents typically include project correspondence, change orders, change notices, RFIs, submittals, warrantees, and claims. 4LEAF will prepare a submittal that includes all the necessary documents and provide a hard copy and electronic copy of the report to the City. 4LEAF’s Inspector will compare their red-lined markups of the plans with the contractor’s red-lined markups and will submit a reconciled set to the designer of record to produce “as-built” drawings.

Fiscal closeout includes the review of contract administration (submittal log, RFI log, punch lists, etc.), accounting, and financial functions to confirm they are coordinated with physical closeout functions to ensure that no outstanding financial liability is present after the final payments / retentions are made to the contractor. Assist in closing out any funding documentation.

Lennar
The San Francisco Shipyard
Operations Manager
Masood worked for the general contractor and he oversaw multiple projects in the San Francisco Shipyard, which was a 750-acre development expanding from Bayview-Hunters Point to Candlestick Park and would have approximately 12,000 homes, 300 acres of public space, 500,000 square feet of retail, and over 3 million square feet of research and development. Masood ensured that his project management team and field crews had sufficient resources to meet the client’s schedule to perform demolition, earthwork, and underground utility installation services for the projects.

Terramar Retail Centers
51st and Broadway (Oakland)
Project Manager
This was a $300 million development on a 15-acre site requiring 185,000 square feet of demolition and 330,000 square feet of new retail and commercial space. The project called for the removal of asphalt and concrete, the grading of the site, off-hauling soil, placing aggregate base, and paving. Masood worked for the earthwork contractor that was hired by the general contractor, and he provided value engineering support to minimize the cost impacts from contaminated soil.

Woods Partners
55 Laguna Street (San Francisco)
Project Manager
Masood was the project manager for the general engineering contractor for this $100 million construction of an entire city block for the development of five new buildings for 330 residential units, two underground parking garages, offices, and retail space. Masood oversaw the demolition of the existing buildings, mass excavation including disposal of hazardous materials, shoring, and structural excavation.

Vanke Group and Tishman Speyer
201 Folsom Street (San Francisco)
Project Manager
This $630 million high-rise residential project was comprised of two buildings (one 37-stories, the other 42 stories) totaling 655 units. Working for the mass excavation and underground utility contractor, Masood was responsible for managing the excavation phase for the five-level below-ground garage. His other responsibilities included procurement of materials and subcontractors, preparing and distributing a mutually agreed upon schedule to the client and field personnel, preparing and distributing RFIs and submittals, preparing and negotiating change order requests, and presenting weekly the estimated cost relative to the actual cost projections to his company’s leadership. The scope of the project included mass excavation and underground utilities. During the excavation process, Masood and his team discovered a ship from the 1840s, which the San Francisco Archaeological Association was able to salvage and place in the San Francisco Maritime Museum. The underground utility installation involved coordination with numerous agencies, including the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), the Department of Building Inspection (DBI), the Department of Public Works (DPW), and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

AGI Capital and Avant Housing
900 Folsom Street (San Francisco)
Project Manager
Masood was the project manager for the shoring contractor selected by the general contractor. He managed the design phase and installation of soldier beams and lagging walls with four rows of tiebacks for this $36 million,

PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE CM AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR THE ORANGE MEMORIAL PARK MAIN PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT PROJECT DECEMBER 5, 2025 SECTIONS 2 THROUGH 8 PAGE 28 OF 33
eight-story LEED Gold residential building with 280 units and underground garage. His other responsibilities included procurement of materials and subcontractors, preparing and distributing a mutually agreed upon schedule to the client and field personnel, preparing and distributing RFIs and submittals, preparing and negotiating change order requests, and presenting weekly the estimated cost relative to the actual cost projections to his company’s leadership. The project’s scope of work included installation of the shoring system for a six-level underground parking garage. During the excavation process, water intrusion exceeded the capacity of the dewatering system, making the excavation impossible due to collapsing soil. It was discovered later that the water intrusion was caused by a broken underground waterline and not the underground creek that was originally suspected. This required grouting using a polymer mixture to build a seal behind the shoring wall allowing the excavation to continue.

University of California Berkeley
Student Athlete High Performance Center
Project Manager
This $150 million building was constructed in front of UC Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium. The excavation was more 50 feet deep in some areas and ran along the edge of the stadium and along the Hayward seismic fault. Solider beams and tiebacks had to be installed to prevent undermining the stadium, and construction had to be completed in a matter that would not disrupt the football games at the stadium. Masood worked for the shoring contractor selected by the University’s general contractor. His responsibilities included procurement of materials and subcontractors, preparing and distributing a mutually agreed upon schedule to the client and field personnel, preparing and distributing RFIs and submittals, preparing and negotiating change order requests, and presenting weekly the estimated cost relative to the actual cost projections to his company’s leadership. He was also responsible for managing the design and construction of soldier beams and tieback wall that would support Memorial Stadium while the new building was being constructed. The shoring system involved installing secant piles that underpinned the stadium’s foundation. The piles needed to be installed in phases to prevent the stadium from moving. Survey monitoring points were installed along the face of the stadium to monitor movement on a weekly basis. Twenty-five percent of the beams installed by the subcontractor were not plumb, resulting in the tops of the beams protruding too far into the new structure at the top and protruding too far into the stadium at the bottom, causing excess concrete to be utilized. Masood worked with the design team to develop several solutions for each scenario, and the solutions were implemented and accepted by UC Berkeley.

(d) Budgetary Estimate. The actual Level of Effort for this task can be refined after the exact scope and nature of the project are developed based on discussions with the City and Design Team.
(e) Budgetary Estimate. For Budgeting Purposes, we assumed 16 hrs/wk at 4 wks/mo for 7 mos. for PM / CM to manage the Design Phase. (a) Assumes project will require compliance with California Prevailing Wage rate requirements under SB 854, and the Client will be required to file a PWC-100 Form to the California Department of Industrial Relations for the project.
(b) Per the new requirements being enforced under SB 854 and because it is assumed that a PWC-100 Form will be filed by the City to the CA DIR, 4LEAF is required to notify an authorized Apprenticeship Committee through submittal of a DAS-140 form. We are then required to make an official request to an authorized Apprenticeship Committee for an apprentice by submitting a DAS-142 form. We are not assured the apprenticeship committee will be able to provide a suitable / qualified apprentice for the project. Per the apprenticeship requirements, the hours worked by the apprentice must be in a ratio of 1:5 for apprentice to journeyman hours. Hours are included as a placeholder in the event that an apprenticeship for a public works inspector is required and dispatched by the apprenticeship committee. We have assumed the public works apprentice assigned to the project will be classified as a Period 1 Apprentice as defined by the DIR's Wage Determination dated 8/25. In the event that a higher classification apprentice is assigned to the project, we will contact the City to request a change order for this line item. (c) 4LEAF staff will be supplied with typical tools of the trade to perform their daily tasks (e.g. cell phone, laptop computer, and PPE). 1 of 2
Updated Cost Proposal to Perform Construction Management and Inspection Services for the City of South San Francisco Orange Memorial Park Main Playground Replacement Project Updated January 30, 2026
(f) The project scope and construction schedule were not available at the time of preparation of this estimate but based on discussions between Philip Vitale (City) and Gene Barry (4LEAF) on 1/27/26, this estimate has been updated to assume a construction phase duraton of 198 working days (9 months - assumes an average of 22 working days per month).

For estimating purposes, we have assumed one, part-time Construction Manager at 20 hrs/wk at 4 wks/mo at 9 months during the Construction Phase. We also assumed one, fulltime Construction Representative / Inspector at 8 hrs/day for 198 working days at regular-time rate. Does not include any allowance for overtime, nighttime, weekend, or holiday work. If overtime, nighttime, weekend, or holiday work are required, the requirements for these hours will be billed in accordance with 4LEAF's Standard Fee Schedule. If construction inspection frequencies exceed the assumed quantities, if the duration extends past 198 working days, or the contractor works more than 8 hours per day during the project, 4LEAF will submit a budget amendment request to the City. 2 of 2

BASIS OF CHARGES
A. Rates shown assume projects under this on-call contract will require compliance with California Prevailing Wage rate requirements and assumes the Client will be filing a PWC-100 Form to the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) for the project.

B. Rates for prevailing wage categories are subject to annual escalations in accordance with the bi-annual wage determinations from the California DIR. Rates based on California DIR’s wage determinations dated August 2025.

C. Per the new requirements being enforced under SB 854 and because it is assumed that a PWC-100 Form will be filed by the Client to the CA DIR for each project, 4LEAF is required to notify an authorized Apprenticeship Committee through submittal of a DAS-140 form.

We are then required to make an official request to an authorized Apprenticeship Committee for an apprentice by submitting a DAS142 form. We are not assured the apprenticeship committee will be able to provide a suitable/qualified apprentice for the project.

Per the apprenticeship requirements, the hours worked by the apprentice must be in a ratio of 1:5 for apprentice to journeyman hours. 4LEAF will not know the labor classification of the Public Works Apprentice until an Apprentice is dispatched to the site; therefore, the rates for the five Periods listed under the California DIR’s Wage determination for Building Construction Inspector issued August 2025 were used to determine the range of Calendar Year 2026 hourly rates for Public Works Inspector Apprentice.

E. Overtime and Premium time will be charged as follows:
- Night Time (work begun after 4PM or before 5AM) 1.125 x hourly rate - Overtime 1 (over 8 hours M-F or Saturdays) 1.35 x hourly rate - Overtime 2 (over 8 hours Sat or 1st 8 hour Sun) 1.85 x hourly rate - Overtime 3 (over 8 hours Sun or Holidays) 2.35 x hourly rate F. All work with less than 8 hours rest between shifts will be charged the appropriate overtime rate.

H. Project-related mileage for inspections will be billed at the allowable IRS Rate.

I. Payment due on receipt. All payments over 30 days will be assessed as a 1.5% interest charge.

J. Client shall pay attorneys’ fees or other costs incurred in collecting delinquent amounts.

K. Client agrees that 4LEAF’s liability will be limited to the value of services provided.

L. In accordance with California’s Meal Break and Rest Break Law requirements, Client will be billed one (1) additional hour per day at the regular rate for each missed meal or rest break due to Client-directed tasks or requirements. Client should allow 4LEAF’s nonexempt, hourly employees the opportunity to take their entitled rest and meal breaks during each work shift.

M. If 4LEAF is requested or otherwise required to conform to Client’s alternative workweek schedule (“AWW”), Client hereby agrees to compensate or reimburse 4LEAF for all overtime paid to its employees who work an AWW. If 4LEAF’s affected employment group approves an AWW election and the same is registered, overtime compensation/reimbursement shall not be required.
