insurance policies is terminated; (2) the limits of any of the required polices are reduced; or (3) the deductible or self insured retention is increased. In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled, Contractor shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in conformance with this Section 4 to the Contract Administrator. c. Additional Insured; Primary Insurance. City and its officers, employees, agents, and authorized volunteers shall be covered as additional insureds with respect to each of the following: liability arising out of the Services performed by or on behalf of Contractor, including the insured’s general supervision of Contractor; products and completed operations of Contractor, as applicable; premises owned, occupied, or used by Contractor; and automobiles owned, leased, or used by Contractor in the course of providing the 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 authorized volunteers. The insurance provided to City as an additional insured must apply on a primary and non-contributory basis with respect to any insurance or self-insurance program maintained by City. Additional insured status shall continue for one (1) year after the expiration or termination of this Agreement or completion of the Services.

A certified endorsement must be attached to all policies stating that coverage is primary insurance with respect to City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, and that no insurance or self-insurance maintained by City shall be called upon to contribute to a loss under the coverage. The insurer is deemed hereof to waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against City, its officers, employees, agents, authorized volunteers, and their respective insurers. d. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Contractor shall obtain the written approval of City for the self-insured retentions and deductibles before beginning any of the Services. During the term of this Agreement, only upon the prior express written authorization of the Contract Administrator, Contractor 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 Contractor 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. e. Subcontractors. Contractor shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and certified endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
f. Variation. The Contract Administrator may, but is not required to, approve in writing a variation in the foregoing insurance requirements, upon a determination that the coverage, scope, limits, and forms of such insurance are either not commercially available, or that City’s interests are otherwise fully protected.

4.6 Payment and Performance Bonds. Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, Contractor shall deliver to City a payment (labor and materials) bond and a performance bond, each in the sum of the amount of this Agreement, in the forms provided by the City Clerk, which secure the faithful performance of this Agreement. The bonds shall contain the original notarized signature of an authorized officer of the surety and affixed thereto shall be a certified and current copy of his power of attorney. The bonds shall be unconditional and remain in force during the entire term of this Agreement and shall be null and void only if Contractor promptly and faithfully performs all terms and conditions of this Agreement. Payment and performance bonds shall be secured from a surety company rated Grade “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide, or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Contract Administrator due to unique circumstances, and shall be authorized to write such bonds in the State of California. Contractor shall pay all bond premiums, costs, and incidentals.

Pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 22300, substitution of eligible equivalent securities for any moneys withheld to ensure performance under this Agreement may be permitted at the request and expense of Contractor. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor understands that Civil Code Section 9550 requires a payment bond for all public works contracts involving an expenditure of more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).

4.7 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies at law or equity City may have if Contractor 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 Contractor’s breach:
a. Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under this Agreement; b. Order Contractor to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes due to Contractor hereunder, or both stop work and withhold any payment, until Contractor demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof; and/or c. Terminate this Agreement.

SECTION 5. INDEMNIFICATION.

5.1 Indemnification for Professional Liability. Where the law establishes a professional standard of care for performance of the Services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel selected by City), and hold harmless City and any and all of its officers, employees, officials, volunteers, and agents from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, liens, actions, causes of action (whether in tort, contract, under statute, at law, in equity, or otherwise) charges, awards, assessments, fines, or penalties

of any kind (including costs and expenses incurred by City and reasonable consultant and expert fees and expenses of investigation, costs of whatever kind and nature and, if Contractor fails to provide a defense for City, the legal costs of counsel retained by City) and any judgment (collectively, “Claims”) to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error, or omission of Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors (or any entity or individual that Contractor shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.

5.2 Indemnification for Other than Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel selected by City), and hold harmless City, and any and all of its officers, employees, officials, volunteers, and agents from and against any and all Claims, where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Contractor or by any individual or entity for which Contractor is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or subcontractors of Contractor. Contractor will promptly pay any judgment rendered against City, its officers, agents, or employees for any such Claims arising out of or in connection with the performance of or failure to perform such Services, operations or activities of Contractor hereunder.

5.3 Subcontractors. Contractor shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors. Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify City, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof.

5.4 Limitation of Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 5 do not apply to claims occurring as a result of City’s sole or active negligence. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not release City from liability arising from gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of City or any and all of its officers, officials, employees, and agents acting in an official capacity. In the event any applicable law contains a limitation on indemnification under this Agreement, such limitation shall supersede the provisions herein only to the extent required by said law.

SECTION 6. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

At all times during the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall be an independent contractor and shall not be an employee of City. City shall have the right to control Contractor only insofar as the results of the Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement and assignment of personnel pursuant to Subsection 1.4; however, otherwise City shall not have the right to control the means by which Contractor accomplishes the Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. The personnel performing the Services under this Agreement on behalf of Contractor shall at all times be under Contractor’s exclusive direction and control. Contractor shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it is or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers, officials, employees, or agents of City. Contractor shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability whatever against City, or bind City in any manner. Except for

the fees paid to Contractor as provided in this Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Contractor for performing the Services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or indemnification to Contractor for injury or sickness arising out of performing the Services hereunder. Notwithstanding any other City, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary, Contractor and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in the California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits. Contractor shall perform all Services required herein as an independent contractor of City and shall remain at all times as to City a wholly independent contractor with only such obligations as are consistent with that role.

City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed to be a partner of Contractor in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any joint enterprise with Contractor.

It is agreed by the Parties that, in connection with the development, construction (as defined by applicable law) and

Page 188 of 601 ends

19412635.3 a08/19/25
Contract Services Agreement | 17
operation of the Services, including, without limitation, any public work (as defined by applicable law), if any, Contractor shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of state and/or federal prevailing wages and/or the implementation of California Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781, as the same may be enacted, adopted or amended from time to time, and/or any other provision of law. To the extent applicable, City will enforce all penalties required by law for Contractor’s failure to pay prevailing wages. b. California Labor Code.

(vii) Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1775, it is hereby stipulated that Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than two-hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for the Services by Contractor or any sub-consultant or subcontractor.

2905/009410-1001
19412635.3 a08/19/25
Contract Services Agreement | 19
and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for Contractor’s performance of the Services, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed, or imposed against City hereunder.

7.5 Conflicts of Interest. Contractor represents, warrants, and covenants that Contractor presently has no interest, direct or indirect, which would interfere with or impair in any manner or degree the performance of Contractor’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement. Contractor further agrees that while this Agreement is in effect, Contractor shall not acquire or otherwise obtain any interest, direct or indirect, that would interfere with or impair in any manner or degree the performance of Contractor’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement.

7.6 Unfair Business Practices Claims. In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time City renders final payment to Contractor without further acknowledgment of the Parties.

7.7 Annual Appropriation of Funding. In accord with Article 16 Section 18 of the California Constitution, payment of compensation under this Agreement is contingent upon annual appropriation of funds by City for that purpose. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that to the extent that the Services extend beyond one (1) fiscal year, payment for such Services is expressly conditioned on City’s annual appropriation of funds for such Services for each year. If no funds are appropriated then this Agreement shall be terminated. City pledges and agrees to process such appropriation requests annually and in good faith. Nothing in this Subsection shall be construed to limit the right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.

7.8 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to City the sum of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the Services. City may withhold from any monies payable on account of the Services performed by Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.

SECTION 8. TERMINATION AND MODIFICATION.

8.1 Termination. City may terminate this Agreement at any time and without cause upon thirty (30) days’ written notification to Contractor. City may also terminate this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 8.8.

Contract Services Agreement | 20

8.2 Termination by Contractor. Contractor may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City.

8.3 Consequences of Termination. In the event of termination, Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for the Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination; City, however, may condition payment of such compensation upon Contractor delivering to City any or all materials provided to Contractor or prepared by or for Contractor or City in connection with this Agreement. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all Services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Administrator.

8.4 Administrative Change Orders. City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the Services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Services or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Contract Administrator to Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the total compensation, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of Contractor. Any increase in compensation of up to five percent (5%) of the total compensation or TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000), whichever is less; or in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days may be approved in writing by the Contract Administrator. Contractor understands and agrees that, if City grants an extension in time without additional work, City shall have no obligation to provide Contractor with compensation beyond the maximum amount provided for in this Agreement. Similarly, unless authorized by the Contract Administrator, City shall have no obligation to reimburse Contractor for any otherwise reimbursable expenses incurred during the extension period. All other extensions or modifications to this Agreement shall require a written amendment pursuant to Subsection 8.5.

8.5 Amendments. The Parties may amend this Agreement only by a writing signed by all the Parties. The Contract Administrator shall have the authority to execute amendments to this Agreement which do not materially change the terms hereof, in the Contract Administrator’s discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable federal, state, and local law. The Contract Administrator may refer any proposed amendment to the City Council for review and approval.

8.6 Assignment and Subcontracting. City and Contractor recognize and agree that this Agreement contemplates personal performance by Contractor and is based upon a determination of Contractor’s unique personal competence, experience, and specialized personal knowledge. Moreover, a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement was and is the professional reputation and competence of Contractor.

Contractor may not assign this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written approval of the Contract Administrator. Contractor shall not subcontract any portion of the performance contemplated and provided for herein, other than to the subcontractors noted in the Scope of Services, without prior written approval of the Contract

Contract Services Agreement | 21
Administrator. In the event of any unapproved assignment, including in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved assignment shall release Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

8.7 Survival. All obligations arising prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement and all provisions of this Agreement allocating liability between City and Contractor shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8.8 Disputes, Default. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any of the Services performed after the date of default. Instead, City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, in the sole discretion of the Contract Administrator. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, City's remedies shall include, but not be limited to, any or all of the following:
a. Immediately terminate this Agreement;
b. Retain the plans, specifications, drawings, reports, design documents, and any other work product prepared by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement;
c. Retain a different contractor to complete the Services; and/or d. Charge Contractor the difference between the cost to complete the Services that is unfinished at the time of breach and the amount that City would have paid Contractor pursuant to Section 2 if Contractor had completed the Services.

Any failure on the part of City to give notice of Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

8.9 Claims by Contractor. Claims, as that term is defined in California Public Contract Code Section 9204, by Contractor and, where applicable, any subcontractor, in connection with a public works project shall by subject to the mediation procedure in California Public Contract Code Section 9204.

Contractor represents and warrants that Contractor has the legal right to license any and all of the Documents and Materials. Contractor makes no such representation and warranty in regard to the Documents and Materials which were prepared by design professionals other than Contractor or provided to Contractor by City. City shall not be limited in any way in its use of the Documents and Materials at any time, provided that any such use not within the purposes intended by this Agreement shall be at City’s sole risk.

Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Administrator such reports concerning the performance of the Services required by this Agreement as the Contract Administrator shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that City is greatly concerned about the cost of the Services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the Services contemplated herein or, if Contractor is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Administrator of said fact, circumstance, technique, or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Contractor is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.

9.5 Confidentiality. City and Contractor 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 unless required by law.

Contractor understands and agrees that it may be required to provide documents to the City to be produced in response to a Public Records Act request.

1) The designated area for our structures will be accessible by drive-up for unloading of our trucks and equipment, including personnel man-lifts, forklifts, etc. Should a crane be required and direct access not available, additional costs for such will be submitted by a Change Order. 2) Our pricing is based on the ability to perform all of our work with clear, sequential, and continuous access without interruption during normal daytime working hours. We have assumed one mobilization for the installation of foundations, steel and fabric; if additional mobilizations are required, there will be an additional charge. We will require exclusive access to the area for our work during the construction process. 3) Our pricing does not include daily site delays accessing the work areas. USA SHADE will submit a Change Order for any delays caused by other trades which interfere or cause us to stop working.
4) We will require site sanitary facilities and refuse containers by others within 200 feet of our work.
5) USA SHADE will leave its work and materials in a clean condition at the conclusion of our work. 6) Barricades and public security requirements are not included. 7) Unless specifically included in this proposal, this agreement does not include, and Company will not provide, services, labor, or materials for any of the following work: (a) removal and disposal of any materials containing asbestos or any hazardous materials as defined by the EPA; (b) moving Owner’s property around the installation site; (c) repair or replacement of any Purchaser or Owner-supplied materials; or (d) repair of damage to existing surfaces that may occur when construction equipment and vehicles are being used in the normal course of construction.
8) Pricing for foundation design is based on drilled pier footings. In the event the geotechnical report requires an alternate configuration, any additional costs incurred will be submitted to the client by a Change Order.
9) Digging of our foundations will not be constrained by any existing concrete or utilities. USA SHADE will not be responsible for moving or repairing any underground utility lines such as electrical, telephone, gas, water, or sprinkler lines that may be encountered during installation. 10) Any additional costs incurred as a result of hard rock conditions requiring extra equipment, utility removal or repair, resulting in delay, will result in additional charges unless they are detailed on as-built site drawings provided to USA SHADE or marked on the ground and communicated to USA SHADE in writing prior to installation.

When applicable, USA SHADE & Fabric Structures reserves the right to implement a surcharge for significant increases in raw materials, including, but not limited to; fuel, steel, and concrete.

For purposes of this agreement, “Completion” is defined as being the point at which the Structure is suitable for its intended use, the issue of occupancy consent, or a final building department approval is issued, whichever occurs first. Progress billing and payment will be required. All payments must be made to Shade Structures, Inc., P.O. Box 734158, Dallas, TX 75373-4158.

Company will provide a full release of liens upon receipt of final payment. In accordance with state laws, Company reserves the right to place a lien on the property if final payment has not been received 10 days prior to the filing deadline for liens. 9) Site Plan Approval, Permit/s, Permit Fees, Plans, Engineering Drawings, and Surveying:

Site plan approval, permits, permit fees, plans, engineering drawings, and surveying are specifically excluded from this agreement and the Services unless specified under the “General Scope of Work”.

Delivery is approximately 1 week thereafter. Delivery of structures may be prior to or at start of assembly. Please note that these timelines do not include approval or permitting timeframes.

12) Concealed Conditions: ”Concealed conditions” include, without limitation, water, gas, sprinkler, electrical and sewage lines, post tension cables, and steel rebar. This agreement is based solely on observations the Company was able to make either by visual inspection or by drawings and/or plans submitted by Owner at the time this agreement was bid. If additional Concealed Conditions are discovered once work has commenced, which were not visible at the time this proposal was bid, Company will stop work and indicate these unforeseen Concealed Conditions to Purchaser or Owner so that Purchaser and Company can execute a Change Order for any additional work. In any event, any damage caused by or to unforeseen Concealed Conditions is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser and Company shall not be held liable for any such damage. Soil conditions are assumed to be soil that does not contain any water, hard rock (such as limestone, caliche, etc.), rocks larger than 4 inches in diameter, or any other condition that will require additional labor, equipment and/or materials not specified by the Purchaser or Owner in the bidding process. Any condition requiring additional labor, equipment, and/or materials to complete the drilling or concrete operations will require a Change Order before Company will complete the process. Price quotes are based on a drilled pier footing. Any variation will incur additional charges (i.e. spread footings, concrete mat, sand, water, landfill, etc.). Costs for footing and installation do not include any allowance for extending below frost lines (the additional costs for which vary by geographical region) 13) Changes in the Work: During the course of this project, Purchaser may order changes in the work (both additions and deletions). Additionally, an approving agency may require changes in the work from the original design or engineering quoted and provided by the Company (both additions and deletions.) The cost of these changes will be determined by the Company, and a Change Order form must be completed and signed by both the Purchaser and the Company, which will detail the “General Scope of the Change Order”. Should any Change Order be essential to the completion of the project, and the Purchaser refuses to authorize such Change Order, then Company will be deemed to have performed its part of the project, and the project and services will be terminated. Upon such termination, Company will submit a final billing to Purchaser for payment, less a labor allowance for work not performed but including additional charges incurred due to the stoppage. No credit will be allowed for materials sold and supplied, which will remain the property of the Purchaser. 14) Indemnification: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its consultants, agents, and employees or any of them

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMEBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMIE LAI, P.E. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS / CITY ENGINEER PREPARED BY: JOSE ROMANI, ASSOCIATE ENGINEER
SUBJECT: APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS

FOR FINAL DESIGN AND ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION OF
VALLEY VIEW SAFETY PROJECT (SI241005)

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Psomas in the amount of $158,478.00 for final design and environmental documentation for the federally funded Valley View Safety Project.

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve additional expenditures up to $23,771.70 (15% of the proposed amount) in agreement contingencies for potential additional services resulting in an amount not-to-exceed $182,249.70 should all contingencies be authorized.

BACKGROUND
The intersection of Valley View Avenue and Yorba Linda Boulevard is currently identified as a project (SI241005) in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to provide pedestrian accessibility and meet ADA requirements at the intersection.

On November 2024, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors approved our project under the 2023 Orange County Complete Street Program (OCCSP).

Since the project is receiving federal funds, it requires compliance with federal project regulations, such as NEPA. A Categorical Exclusion is recommended to meet the environmental documentation requirements.

The scope of service for this project is for environmental documentation and final engineering design. The project aims to provide ADA compliant curb ramps on the northeast, southeast, and southwest corners of the intersection to enhance safety and connectivity. This will require the existing catch basin at the northeast corner to be relocated to the north side of Yorba Linda Boulevard. The construction of the curb ramps and relocation of the existing catch basin will likely conflict with existing utilities, which will need

to be relocated as part of this project. Furthermore, the traffic signal equipment on the southeasterly corner will require modifications to move the pole out of the new ADA ramp and to provide pedestrian push buttons for the new crossing along the east leg of the intersection.

DISCUSSION
On May 30, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for environmental documentation and engineering design services. The RFP was published on Quest CDN, a web-based initiative that advertises projects. Staff also distributed the RFP via email to the City’s on-call consultant list, which consists of 33 consultant firms. The selection of the oncall consultant is based upon factors such as experience, professional qualifications, and competence as outlined in the Yorba Linda Municipal Code.

Only one (1) firm submitted a proposal for the RFP: Psomas. Since less than three (3) proposals were received, Caltrans recommended the City to either re-advertise the RFP or provide justification to proceed with the (1) proposal received. The justification requires the City to demonstrate the initial advertisement held no disadvantages to any proposers and how a re-advertisement could potentially impact project delivery timelines.

The City reached out to all the firms that showed an interest in the project using Quest CDN, which is a total of five. Similar concerns were expressed by the five firms regarding the scope of the project being too small to apply resources towards. Of particular concern was the ability to deliver a project this size and cost given the federal program requirements that would impact the overall cost-benefit for the firms. Re-advertising the project would create a tight schedule and risk missing deadlines within the program year, without guarantees of receiving additional proposals.

The City submitted our justification to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 12 for review. On August 14, 2025, Caltrans Headquarters approved our justification and gave permission to proceed with the one (1) proposal.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City received federal funds from the Orange County Complete Street Program (OCCSP) in the amount of $137,000.00. There are also additional sufficient budgeted funds available in the Yorba Linda Blvd & Valley View ADA (Account SI241005) to support this effort.

ALTERNATIVES
Do not award the professional service contract. This puts the City at risk of foregoing the competitive federal funds from the Orange County Complete Street Program (OCCSP).

OCCSP requires award of contract for the Valley View Safety Project before September 30, 2026, to remain eligible for the funds.

ARTICLE VIII RETENTION OF RECORD/AUDITS
For the purpose of determining compliance with Gov. Code § 8546.7, the CONSULTANT, Subconsultants, and LOCAL AGENCY shall maintain all books, documents, papers, accounting records, Independent CPA Audited Indirect Cost Rate workpapers, and other evidence pertaining to the performance of the AGREEMENT including, but not limited to, the costs of administering the AGREEMENT. All parties, including the CONSULTANT’s Independent CPA, shall make such workpapers and materials available at their respective offices at all reasonable times during the AGREEMENT period and for three (3) years from the date of final payment under the AGREEMENT and records for real property and equipment acquired with federal funds must be retained for three (3) years after final disposition. LOCAL AGENCY, Caltrans Auditor, FHWA, or any duly authorized representative of the Federal government having jurisdiction under Federal laws or regulations (including the basis of Federal funding in whole or in part) shall have access to any books, records, and documents of the CONSULTANT, Subconsultants, and the CONSULTANT’s Independent CPA, that are pertinent to the AGREEMENT for audits, examinations, workpaper review, excerpts, and transactions, and copies thereof shall be furnished if requested without limitation.

ARTICLE IX AUDIT REVIEW PROCEDURES
A. Any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under an interim or post audit of this AGREEMENT that is not disposed of by AGREEMENT, shall be reviewed by LOCAL AGENCY’S Chief Financial Officer.

B. Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after issuance of the final audit report, CONSULTANT may request a review by LOCAL AGENCY’S Chief Financial Officer of unresolved audit issues. The request for review will be submitted in writing.

C. Neither the pendency of a dispute nor its consideration by LOCAL AGENCY will excuse CONSULTANT from full and timely performance, in accordance with the terms of this AGREEMENT nor will it excuse LOCAL AGENCY from making payments when due.

D. CONSULTANT and subconsultant AGREEMENTs, including cost proposals and Indirect Cost Rates (ICR), may be subject to audits or reviews such as, but not limited to, an AGREEMENT audit, an incurred cost audit, an ICR Audit, or a CPA ICR audit work paper review. If selected for audit or review, the AGREEMENT, cost proposal and ICR and related work papers, if applicable, will be reviewed to verify compliance with 48 CFR 31 and other related laws and regulations. In the instances of a CPA ICR audit work paper review it is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to ensure federal, LOCAL AGENCY, or local government officials are allowed full access to the CPA’s work papers including making copies as necessary. The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and ICR shall be adjusted by CONSULTANT and approved by LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the audit or review recommendations unless disputed as provided in Article XXIII.

CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the AGREEMENT by this reference if directed by LOCAL AGENCY at its sole reasonable discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations unless disputed as provided in Article XXIII, or to ensure that the federal, LOCAL AGENCY or local governments have access to CPA work papers, will be considered a breach of AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

E. CONSULTANT’s Cost Proposal may be subject to a CPA ICR Audit Work Paper Review and/or audit by the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI). IOAI, at its sole discretion, may review and/or audit and approve the CPA ICR documentation. The Cost Proposal shall be adjusted by the CONSULTANT and approved by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator to conform to the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit

Page 227 of 601 ends

Agreement | 9
recommendations included in the audit report. Refusal by the CONSULTANT to incorporate the Work Paper Review recommendations included in the management letter or audit recommendations included in the audit report will be considered a breach of the AGREEMENT terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.

1. During IOAI’s review of the ICR audit work papers created by the CONSULTANT’s independent CPA, IOAI will work with the CPA and/or CONSULTANT toward a resolution of issues that arise during the review. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to resolve any audit disputes in a timely manner. If IOAI identifies significant issues during the review and is unable to issue a cognizant approval letter, LOCAL AGENCY will reimburse the CONSULTANT at an accepted ICR until a FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) compliant ICR (e.g. 48 CFR Part 31; GAGAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards); CAS (Cost Accounting Standards), if applicable; in accordance with procedures and guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Audit Guide; and other applicable procedures and guidelines) is received and approved by IOAI.

Accepted rates will be as follows:
a. If the proposed rate is less than one hundred fifty percent (150%) - the accepted rate reimbursed will be ninety percent (90%) of the proposed rate. b. If the proposed rate is between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the proposed rate.
c. If the proposed rate is greater than two hundred percent (200%) - the accepted rate will be seventy-five percent (75%) of the proposed rate.

2. If IOAI is unable to issue a cognizant letter per paragraph E.1. above, IOAI may require CONSULTANT to submit a revised independent CPA-audited ICR and audit report within three (3) months of the effective date of the management letter. IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.

3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.

4. If there is an IOAI audit, CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items. The accepted ICR will apply to this AGREEMENT and all other agreements executed between LOCAL AGENCY and the CONSULTANT, either as a prime or subconsultant, with the same fiscal period ICR.

ARTICLE X SUBCONTRACTING
A. Nothing contained in this AGREEMENT or otherwise, shall create any contractual relation between the LOCAL AGENCY and any Subconsultants, and no subagreement shall relieve the CONSULTANT of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder. The CONSULTANT agrees to be

Page 228 of 601 ends

Professional Services
Agreement | 10
as fully responsible to the LOCAL AGENCY for the acts and omissions of its Subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by the CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT's obligation to pay its Subconsultants is an independent obligation from the LOCAL AGENCY's obligation to make payments to the CONSULTANT.

B. The CONSULTANT shall perform the work contemplated with resources available within its own organization and no portion of the work shall be subcontracted without written authorization by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator, except that which is expressly identified in the CONSULTANT’s approved Cost Proposal.

C. Any subagreement entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT, shall contain all the provisions stipulated in this entire AGREEMENT to be applicable to Subconsultants unless otherwise noted.

D. CONSULTANT shall pay its Subconsultants within Fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of each payment made to the CONSULTANT by the LOCAL AGENCY.

E. Any substitution of Subconsultants must be approved in writing by the LOCAL AGENCY Contract Administrator in advance of assigning work to a substitute Subconsultant.

F. Prompt Progress Payment
CONSULTANT or subconsultant shall pay to any subconsultant, not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of each progress payment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the respective amounts allowed CONSULTANT on account of the work performed by the subconsultants, to the extent of each subconsultant’s interest therein. In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from CONSULTANT or subconsultant to a subconsultant, CONSULTANT or subconsultant may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount. Any violation of this requirement shall constitute a cause for disciplinary action and shall subject the licensee to a penalty, payable to the subconsultant, of 2 percent of the amount due per month for every month that payment is not made.

In any action for the collection of funds wrongfully withheld, the prevailing party shall be entitled to his or her attorney’s fees and costs. The sanctions authorized under this requirement shall be separate from, and in addition to, all other remedies, either civil, administrative, or criminal. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subconsultants.

G. Prompt Payment of Withheld Funds to Subconsultants
The LOCAL AGENCY may hold retainage from CONSULTANT and shall make prompt and regular incremental acceptances of portions, as determined by the LOCAL AGENCY, of the contract work, and pay retainage to CONSULTANT based on these acceptances. The LOCAL AGENCY shall designate one of the methods below in the contract to ensure prompt and full payment of any retainage kept by CONSULTANT or subconsultant to a subconsultant.

Method 1: No retainage will be held by the LOCAL AGENCY from progress payments due to CONSULTANT. CONSULTANTS and subconsultants are prohibited from holding retainage from subconsultants. Any delay or postponement of payment may take place only for good cause and with the LOCAL AGENCY’s prior written approval. Any violation of these provisions shall subject the violating CONSULTANT or subconsultant to the penalties, sanctions, and other remedies specified in Section 3321 of the California Civil Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative or judicial remedies, otherwise available to CONSULTANT or subconsultant in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by CONSULTANT, deficient subconsultant performance and/or noncompliance by a subconsultant. This clause applies

Page 229 of 601 ends

Professional Services
Agreement | 11
to both DBE and non-DBE subconsultants.

Any violation of these provisions shall subject the violating CONSULTANT or subconsultant to the penalties, sanctions and other remedies specified therein. These requirements shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies otherwise available to CONSULTANT or subconsultant in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by CONSULTANT, deficient subcontract performance, or noncompliance by a subconsultant.

ARTICLE XI EQUIPMENT PURCHASE AND OTHER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES A. Prior authorization in writing by LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator shall be required before CONSULTANT enters into any unbudgeted purchase order, or subcontract exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) for supplies, equipment, or CONSULTANT services. CONSULTANT shall provide an evaluation of the necessity or desirability of incurring such costs.

B. For purchase of any item, service, or consulting work not covered in CONSULTANT’s approved Cost Proposal and exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000), with prior authorization by LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator, three competitive quotations must be submitted with the request, or the absence of proposal must be adequately justified.

C. Any equipment purchased with funds provided under the terms of this AGREEMENT is subject to the following:

1. CONSULTANT shall maintain an inventory of all nonexpendable property. Nonexpendable property is defined as having a useful life of at least two years and an acquisition cost of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more. If the purchased equipment needs replacement and is sold or traded in, LOCAL AGENCY shall receive a proper refund or credit at the conclusion of the AGREEMENT, or if the AGREEMENT is terminated, CONSULTANT may either keep the equipment and credit LOCAL AGENCY in an amount equal to its fair market value, or sell such equipment at the best price obtainable at a public or private sale, in accordance with established LOCAL AGENCY procedures; and credit LOCAL AGENCY in an amount equal to the sales price. If CONSULTANT elects to keep the equipment, fair market value shall be determined at CONSULTANT’s expense, on the basis of a competent independent appraisal of such equipment. Appraisals shall be obtained from an appraiser mutually agreeable to by LOCAL AGENCY and CONSULTANT, if it is determined to sell the equipment, the terms and conditions of such sale must be approved in advance by LOCAL AGENCY.

2. Regulation 2 CFR 200 requires a credit to Federal funds when participating equipment with a fair market value greater than five thousand dollars ($5,000) is credited to the project.

Pursuant to Labor Code §1775, the CONSULTANT and any Subconsultant shall forfeit to the LOCAL AGENCY a penalty of not more than two hundred dollars ($200) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT or by its Subconsultant in violation of the requirements of the Labor Code and in particular, Labor Code §§1770 to 1780, inclusive.

2. The amount of this forfeiture shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner and shall be based on consideration of mistake, inadvertence, or neglect of the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant in failing to pay the correct rate of prevailing wages, or the previous record of the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant in meeting their respective prevailing wage obligations, or the willful failure by the CONSULTANT or Subconsultant to pay the correct rates of prevailing wages.

4. If a worker employed by a Subconsultant on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing per diem wages by the Subconsultant, the CONSULTANT of the project is not liable for the penalties described above unless the CONSULTANT had knowledge of that failure of the Subconsultant to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the CONSULTANT fails to comply with all of the following requirements:
a. The AGREEMENT executed between the CONSULTANT and the Subconsultant for the performance of work on public works projects shall include a copy of the requirements in Labor Code §§ 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.

Upon becoming aware of the Subconsultant’s failure to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to the Subconsultant’s workers, the CONSULTANT shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify the failure, including but not limited to, retaining sufficient funds due the Subconsultant for work performed on the public works project. d. Prior to making final payment to the Subconsultant for work performed on the public works project, the CONSULTANT shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the Subconsultant that the Subconsultant had paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to the Subconsultant’s employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Labor Code §1813.

5. Pursuant to Labor Code §1775, LOCAL AGENCY shall notify the CONSULTANT on a public works project within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of a complaint that a Subconsultant has failed to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages.

6. If LOCAL AGENCY determines that employees of a Subconsultant were not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and if LOCAL AGENCY did not retain sufficient money under the AGREEMENT to pay those employees the balance of wages owed under the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, the CONSULTANT shall withhold an amount of moneys due the Subconsultant sufficient to pay those employees the general prevailing rate of per diem wages if requested by LOCAL AGENCY.

G. Hours of Labor
Eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day's work. The CONSULTANT shall forfeit, as a penalty to the LOCAL AGENCY, twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the AGREEMENT by the CONSULTANT or any of its Subconsultants for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of the Labor Code, and in particular §§1810 to 1815 thereof, inclusive, except that work performed by employees in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and forty (40) hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours in any week, at not less than one and one-half (1.5) times the basic rate of pay, as provided in §1815.Employment of Apprentices

Additionally, the CONSULTANT is responsible to document the verification record by printing out the CUCP data for each DBE firm. A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/civil-rights/dbe-search.

All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies CONSULTANT purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
• 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. • 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer. • Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer." This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.

B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 29%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10- O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.

C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: Proposer/Contractor Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.

D. Contract Assurance
Under 49 CFR 26.13(b):

CONSULTANT, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts.

Failure by the CONSULTANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying CONSULTANT from future proposing as non-responsible E. Termination and Replacement of DBE Subconsultants
CONSULTANT shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless CONSULTANT or DBE subconsultant obtains the LOCAL AGENCY’s written consent. CONSULTANT shall not terminate or replace a listed DBE for convenience and

2. The LOCAL AGENCY stipulated that a bond is a condition of executing the subcontract and the listed DBE fails to meet the LOCAL AGENCY’s bond requirements.

3. Work requires a consultant's license and listed DBE does not have a valid license under Contractors License Law.

4. Listed DBE fails or refuses to perform the work or furnish the listed materials (failing or refusing to perform is not an allowable reason to remove a DBE if the failure or refusal is a result of bad faith or discrimination).

5. Listed DBE's work is unsatisfactory and not in compliance with the contract.

6. Listed DBE is ineligible to work on the project because of suspension or debarment.

7. Listed DBE becomes bankrupt or insolvent or exhibits credit unworthiness.

The LOCAL AGENCY shall respond in writing to CONSULTANT’s DBE termination request within five (5) business days.

Replacement of DBE Subconsultants
After receiving the LOCAL AGENCY’s written authorization of DBE termination request, CONSULTANT must obtain the LOCAL AGENCY’s written agreement for DBE replacement.

CONSULTANT must find or demonstrate GFEs to find qualified DBE replacement firms to perform the work to the extent needed to meet the DBE commitment.

The following procedures shall be followed to request authorization to replace a DBE firm:

1. Submit a request to replace a DBE with other forces or material sources in writing to the LOCAL AGENCY which must include:

2. If CONSULTANT has not identified a DBE replacement firm, submits documentation of CONSULTANT’s GFEs to use DBE replacement firms within seven (7) days of LOCAL AGENCY's authorization to terminate the DBE. CONSULTANT may request the LOCAL AGENCY's approval to extend this submittal period to a total of 14 days. Submit documentation of actions taken to find a DBE replacement firm, such as:
• Search results of certified DBEs available to perform the original DBE work identified and or other work CONSULTANT had intended to self-perform, to the extent needed to meet DBE commitment
• Solicitations of DBEs for performance of work identified • Correspondence with interested DBEs that may have included contract details and requirements
• Negotiation efforts with DBEs that reflect why an agreement was not reached • If a DBE's quote was rejected, provide reasoning for the rejection, such as why the DBE was unqualified for the work, or why the price quote was unreasonable or excessive
• Copies of each DBE's and non-DBE's price quotes for work identified, as the LOCAL AGENCY may contact the firms to verify solicitation efforts and determine if the DBE quotes are substantially higher
• Additional documentation that supports CONSULTANT’s GFE The LOCAL AGENCY shall respond in writing to CONSULTANT’s DBE replacement request within

F. Commitment and Utilization
The LOCAL AGENCY’s DBE program must include a monitoring and enforcement mechanism to ensure that DBE commitments reconcile to DBE utilization.

The LOCAL AGENCY shall request CONSULTANT to:

1. Notify the LOCAL AGENCY’s contract administrator or designated representative of any changes to its anticipated DBE participation

2. Provide this notification before starting the affected work

3. Maintain records including:
• Name and business address of each 1 -tier subconsultant • Name and business address of each DBE subconsultant, DBE vendor, and DBE trucking company, regardless of tier
• Date of payment and total amount paid to each business (see Exhibit 9-F: Monthly Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Payment)
If CONSULTANT is a DBE CONSULTANT, they shall include the date of work performed by their own forces and the corresponding value of the work.

If a DBE is decertified before completing its work, the DBE must notify CONSULTANT in writing of the decertification date. If a business becomes a certified DBE before completing its work, the business must notify CONSULTANT in writing of the certification date. CONSULTANT shall submit the notifications to the LOCAL AGENCY. On work completion, CONSULTANT shall complete Exhibit 17-O: Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Certification Status Change and submit the form to the LOCAL AGENCY within 30 days of contract acceptance.

Upon work completion, CONSULTANT shall complete Exhibit 17-F: Final Report – Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subcontractors and submit it to the LOCAL AGENCY within 90 days of contract acceptance. The LOCAL AGENCY will withhold $10,000 until the form is submitted. The LOCAL AGENCY will release the withhold upon submission of the completed form.

In the LOCAL AGENCY’s reports of DBE participation to Caltrans, the LOCAL AGENCY must display both commitments and attainments.

G. Commercially Useful Function
DBEs must perform a commercially useful function (CUF) under 49 CFR 26.55 when performing work or supplying materials listed on the DBE Commitment form. The DBE value of work will only count toward the DBE commitment if the DBE performs a CUF. A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself.

CONSULTANT must perform CUF evaluation for each DBE working on a federal-aid contract, with or without a DBE goal. Perform a CUF evaluation at the beginning of the DBE’s work and continue to monitor the performance of CUF for the duration of the project.

Page 240 of 601 ends

Professional Services
Agreement | 22
CONSULTANT must provide written notification to the LOCAL AGENCY at least 15 days in advance of each DBE's initial performance of work or supplying materials for the Contract. The notification must include the DBE's name, work the DBE will perform on the contract, and the location, date, and time of where their work will take place.

Within 10 days of a DBE initially performing work or supplying materials on the Contract, CONSULTANT shall submit to the LPA the initial evaluation and validation of DBE performance of a CUF using the LAPM 9-J: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. Include the following information with the submittal:
• Subcontract agreement with the DBE
• Purchase orders
• Bills of lading
• Invoices
• Proof of payment
CONSULTANT must monitor all DBE’s performance of CUF by conducting quarterly evaluations and validations throughout their duration of work on the Contract using the LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. CONSULTANT must submit to the LOCAL AGENCY these quarterly evaluations and validations by the 5th of the month for the previous three months of work.

CONSULTANT must notify the LOCAL AGENCY immediately if they believe the DBE may not be performing a CUF.

The LOCAL AGENCY will verify DBEs performance of CUF by reviewing the initial and quarterly submissions of LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation, submitted supporting information, field observations, and through any additional LOCAL AGENCY evaluations. The LOCAL AGENCY must evaluate DBEs and their CUF performance throughout the duration of a Contract. The LOCAL AGENCY will provide written notice to the CONSULTANT and the DBE at least two (2) business days prior to any evaluation. The CONSULTANT and the DBE must participate in the evaluation. Upon completing the evaluation, the LOCAL AGENCY must share the evaluation results with the CONSULTANT and the DBE. An evaluation could include items that must be remedied upon receipt. If the LOCAL AGENCY determines the DBE is not performing a CUF, the CONSULTANT must suspend performance of the noncompliant work.

CONSULTANT and DBEs must submit any additional CUF related records and documents within five (5) business days of LOCAL AGENCY’s request such as:
• Proof of ownership or lease and rental agreements for equipment • Tax records
• Employee rosters
• Certified payroll records
• Inventory rosters
Failure to submit required DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation forms or requested records and documents can result in withholding of payment for the value of work completed by the DBE.

If CONSULTANT and/or the LOCAL AGENCY determine that a listed DBE is not performing a CUF

Page 241 of 601 ends

Professional Services
Agreement | 23
in performance of their DBE committed work, CONSULTANT must immediately suspend performance of the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY may deny payment for the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY will ask the CONSULTANT to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) to the LOCAL AGENGY within five (5) days of the noncompliant CUF determination. The CAP must identify how the CONSULTANT will correct the noncompliance findings for the remaining portion of the DBE's work. LOCAL AGENCY has five (5) days to review the CAP in conjunction with the CONSULTANT’s review. The CONSULTANT must implement the CAP within five (5) days of the LOCAL AGENCY's approval. The LOCAL AGENCY will then authorize the prior noncompliant portion of work for the DBE's committed work.

If corrective actions cannot be accomplished to ensure the DBE performs a commercially useful function on the Contract, CONSULTANT may have good cause to request termination of the DBE.

H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.

I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.

J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.

The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.

K. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.

L. For projects awarded on or after March 1, 2020, but before September 1, 2023: after submitting an invoice for reimbursement that includes a payment to a DBE, but no later than the 10th of the following month, the prime contractor/consultant must complete and email Exhibit 9-F:

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Running Tally of Payments to [email protected] with a copy to local administering agencies.

For projects awarded on or after September 1, 2023: Exhibit 9-F is no longer required. Instead, by the 15th of the month following the month of any payment(s), the CONSULTANT must now submit Exhibit 9-P to the LOCAL AGENCY administering the contract. If the CONSULTANT does not make any payments to subconsultants, supplier(s), and/or manufacturers they must report “no payments were made to subs this month” and write this visibly and legibly on Exhibit 9-P.

M. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.

The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City or its officers, employees, agents, or authorized volunteers.

ARTICLE XX FUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND INDEMNIFICATION

B. This AGREEMENT is valid and enforceable only if sufficient funds are made available to LOCAL AGENCY for the purpose of this AGREEMENT.

Similarly, unless authorized by the Contract Administrator, City shall have no obligation to reimburse Consultant for any otherwise reimbursable expenses incurred during the extension period.

E. Amendments. The Parties may amend this Agreement only by a writing signed by all the Parties.

F. Assignment and Subcontracting. City and Consultant recognize and agree that this Agreement contemplates personal performance by Consultant and is based upon a determination of Consultant’s unique personal competence, experience, and specialized personal knowledge.

Moreover, a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement was and is the professional reputation and competence of Consultant. Consultant may not assign this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written approval of the Contract Administrator.

June 30, 2025
Attn: Rick Yee, PE
Deputy Director of Public Works/Assistant City Engineer City of Yorba Linda
4845 Casa Loma Avenue
Yorba Linda, CA 92886
Subject: Proposal for Environmental Documentation and Engineering Design Services on the Valley View Safety Project
Dear Mr. Yee:

We are pleased to submit our proposal for the Valley View Safety project in response to the City of Yorba Linda's Request for Proposals and as a follow-up to the preliminary design we completed in 2023. The Psomas Team, including our Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) partners LIN Consulting and Monument, is excited to partner again with the City to improve pedestrian access and mobility through the Valley View Avenue/Yorba Linda Boulevard intersection.

The project aims to provide ADA-compliant curb ramps on the northeast, southeast, and southwest corners of the intersection to enhance safety and connectivity. To do this, the existing catch basin located within the northeasterly curb return will be relocated to the north side of Yorba Linda Boulevard.

This relocation will likely confl ict with existing utilities, which must be relocated. Further, the traffi c signal equipment on the southeasterly corner will require modifi cation to move the pole out of the ADA ramp and to provide pedestrian push buttons for the new crossing along the east leg of the intersection.

With the level of detail presented in the preliminary design layout, the Psomas Team is highly qualifi ed to complete the fi nal design and environmental documents for the City. Our in-house environmental planners will prepare the required documentation for NEPA clearance. Based on the nature of the improvements, we have assumed the project will require a Categorical Exclusion.

With federal funds allocated for this project, the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) will be followed as required to release construction funds and approve the plans, specifi cations, estimate, utilities, and right-of-way.

Our project team comprises experienced professionals with a proven record of accomplishment on similar projects. Psomas has a strong history of successfully delivering similar projects such as ADA compliance, roadway widening, utility relocations, and on-call engineering services. Our team's skills and our fi rm's experience make us the ideal partner for the Valley View Safety project.

As is common with leaders in our industry, Psomas has been involved in litigation over our 79-year history, none of which has aff ected, or will aff ect, our ability to provide services on a project. Psomas can confi rm that it is not currently a defendant or cross-defendant in any project litigation. 14 Termination of Contract
“For Cause” History
Psomas does not track this type of information as there are many reasons why a contract may be terminated prior to completion. For example, we have had clients cancel programs due to budgetary constraints, or COVID-19, and have had clients decide to fi nish our scope with their in-house staff . Regardless, Psomas can confi rm that it has not been terminated for cause or default.

12 F: Project Understanding,
Overview, and Approach
Understanding
The Valley View Safety Project includes improvements at the Valley View Avenue/Yorba Linda Boulevard intersection in the City of Yorba Linda. Improvements include adding ADA compliant curb ramps to the northeasterly, southeasterly, and southwesterly corners, adding a crosswalk across the easterly leg, modifying the existing signal system to accommodate the new ramps and to add pedestrian push buttons, and relocating one drainage catch basin away from the proposed curb ramp location on the northeasterly curb return.

Good communication starts with scope negotiation, a signed contract, and a kickoff meeting, and continues through the completion of the project.

Upon selection by the City, we will initiate a project kickoff meeting with you to confi rm a complete understanding of the project’s goals and objectives, communication protocols, funding or other constraints, and opportunities to maximize project benefi ts for the community. The kickoff meeting will include Psomas team members and City staff , and will provide the forum to identify clear lines of communication and review the fi nal scope, schedule, and other pertinent project details.

Psomas completed the preliminary design for this project in the fall of 2023. See our revised preliminary layout on the next page. Our approach to delivering the environmental clearance and fi nal design will be very straightforward. We will fi rst meet with the City to determine if additional improvements beyond those included in the preliminary design are warranted. Once the full scope is defi ned, we will establish our environmental footprint so that our environmental team can begin work on the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) along with the Initial Site Assessment (ISA), which are required for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance.

While the environmental team is hard at work on obtaining NEPA clearance, our engineering team will be fi nalizing the design of the three (3) curb ramps, drainage improvements, signing and striping, and the traffi c signal modifi cation.

The preliminary layout found on the next page depicts the proposed improvements completed by Psomas in 2023. It includes the improvements mentioned above.

assembled from the City and other Agencies,
including improvement plans, drainage reports,
geotechnical data, As-Built drawings, other
reports, traffi c data, agreements, assessor parcel
data, tract and parcel maps, and right-of-way
information.

As part of the preliminary design phase, Psomas
has collected relevant background data for this
project. Collection of additional materials is not
anticipated to be required.

UTILITY POTHOLING:

In the Consultant’s proposed fee schedule,
the Consultant must provide an allowance, for
potholing of utilities related costs, including
other agency costs, and of any proposed
locations of new improvements such as traffi c
signal foundations. Locations must be based on
information received from utility investigations
and the design plans showing proposed traffi c
signal poles. The Consultant must confi rm with
the City whether utilities must be marked prior to
or after the design topographical survey. Pothole
locations and depth from surface to the utility.

Compensation will be based on the unit price
for each pothole as listed in the fee schedule
but may not exceed the allowance. Such unit
price shall include all necessary eff orts related
to this item, including traffi c control. From utility
research and utility potholing, the Consultant
will compile and incorporate utility information
on the roadway Base Sheets. Confl icts with
existing utilities will be identifi ed for resolution
with the confl icting utility. Pothole locations must
be backfi lled with a permanent cement-type
material, and must be approved by the Public
Works inspector or Superintendent. Provide a
summary report of fi ndings as the deliverable for
this item.

Psomas will subcontract with a potholing
contractor to establish the horizontal and
vertical location, material, and size of existing
utilities using air-vacuum excavation for fi ve (5)
potholes. Following excavation, the potholes will
be backfi lled with native material, compacted
with a hand tamper, and surface restored with
cold patch asphalt. A Testhole Data Report,
including Photo Logs summarizing fi ndings, will be
provided.

UTILITY COORDINATION:

Existing utility information will be mapped on
the project base map and determine potential
confl icts with proposed improvements. The
Consultant shall conduct initial meetings with
those utility companies that are potentially in
confl ict. The Consultant shall prepare draft
notifi cations to all utility companies known to
operate within the project area to identify the
type and location of utilities for the project. The
City will send said notifi cation on City letterhead
and provide the Consultant with responses.
 Develop provisions to accommodate existing
and new utility facilities (e.g., maintained in
place, removed, adjusted, abandoned, or
installed).
 Eff ectively identify utility’s locations and
resolve confl icts on proposed plans to keep
project on schedule. Prepare Utility Confl ict
Sheet to summarize confl ict and resolution.
 Notify responsible utility owner of necessary
facility relocation or adjustment.
 Signifi cant utility impacts shall be refl ected
to the project schedule and coordinate to
not confl ict with other items of construction
work.

Psomas will request utility plans from utility
companies having facilities within the project
limits. We will review these plans to confi rm
previously completed mapping of existing
utilities, map in additional utilities located in the
vicinity of the southwest curb return, and identify
confl icts with the proposed improvements. Once
known, these confl icts will be communicated to
the utility companies who will be responsible for
the design of relocated facilities, if applicable.

We will submit plans to the utility companies
for their review and Utility Relocation Plans will
be requested from the utility companies, when
applicable. If utilities are required to be relocated,
the utility company will provide the prior rights
determination and will prepare necessary
agreements for each utility relocation within
City right-of-way, if needed. Psomas will review
Utility Relocation Plans, if applicable, received
from the utility companies for conformance with
project needs. Based upon the preliminary layout
of the proposed improvements, it is assumed
that utility confl icts will consist of relocating the
Metropolitan Water District’s vent pipe within the
existing curb return and the Southern California
Edison electric lines within the existing northerly
sidewalk. If relocation of other utility lines, poles,
and other appurtenances is required, additional
budget may be needed to accommodate the
additional utility coordination. Prior rights
research and discovery are assumed not required
and are excluded.

Because of the federal funding on the project, the
PS&E documents and procedures for approval
Psomas | Environmental Documentation and Engineering Design Services on the Valley View Safety Project | City of Yorba Linda

Page 279 of 601 ends

18 must follow the Local Assistance Procedure
Manual (LAPM). Chapter 11 “Design Guidance”
of the LAPM outlines the design requirements
to follow for federal-aid projects. Once prior
rights of the various utilities and who is
fi nancially responsible for their adjustments and
relocations are determined, we will assemble the
necessary utility documents such as the Notice
to Owner and the Relocation Claim Letters.

Chapter 14 “Utility Relocation” of the LAPM
will be used throughout the life of the project
to facilitate utility relocations and, ultimately,
utility certifi cation (as part of the Right-ofWay Certifi cation). Depending on whether the City is responsible for the relocation costs or
the utility company is, and whether the City is
seeking federal funds reimbursement for these
relocations, the required documentation found in
Chapter 14 will vary.

It is assumed that the respective utility
companies will secure any necessary easements
from the property owner if relocations are
required outside public right-of-way. Preparation
of legal descriptions and plats for such easements
is excluded from this scope of work but can be
added for an additional fee.

This scope of work specifi cally excludes utility
relocation design or coordination of new facilities.

If relocation or new facilities are required for any
reason, either the respective utility company
will perform the design activities, or where
appropriate, Psomas will perform required design
services based upon authorization by the City for
an additional fee. For the MWD vent pipe within
the existing northeast curb return, Psomas will
provide the location of the new vent pipe and the
underground intake and exhaust pipes to MWD so
that they may complete the relocation design.

SURVEY CONTROL:

A project surveyor will conduct research of
record survey control data and mapping from
the City of Yorba Linda. The fi eld surveyors will
recover horizontal / vertical control monuments
used for aerial mapping control, centerline
monumentation and ties, and establish the record
centerline on Valley View Ave and Yorba Linda
Blvd.

Surveys performed by the Consultant shall
conform to the requirements of the Land
Surveyors Act and Caltrans Surveys Manual. In
accordance with the Act, "responsible charge" for
the work shall reside with a pre January 1, 1982,
Registered Civil Engineer or a Licensed Land
Surveyor, in the State of California.

The Consultant shall conduct a complete survey
of the project area, including locations for
right-of-way in the project area, and develop
topographic survey fi les in AutoCAD format as
basis for design work. A base map will be prepared
and provided to the City for review.

Topographic survey was completed for the
northeasterly and southeasterly curb returns
of the intersection during the preliminary
design phase, however survey is needed for the
southwesterly curb return. Psomas will establish
project survey control using a combination
of fast-static GPS and conventional survey
methods. Horizontal control will be relative to the
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), with
coordinates based on the California Coordinate
System (CCS83, Zone VI) based on the Orange
County horizontal control network (OCS 2007.00
Epoch). Vertical control will be based on County of
Orange benchmark at the northeast corner of the
ramp area, relative to the North American Vertical
Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), latest adjustment.

Mapping will conform to typical 20-scale mapping.

We will do a full detailed survey of the entire
southwesterly curb return, adjacent utilities,
curb, gutter, and sidewalk for 50 feet south and
west on the south side of Yorba Linda Boulevard,
along with pothole information gathered in the
fi eld. We have included two (2) days in the fi eld
for the topographic surveys and potholing, along
with the requisite time in the offi ce for postprocessing, fi eld to fi nish, scheduling, quality control, and project management.

RIGHT-OF-WAY MAPPING AND ACQUISITION:

Obtain existing Parcel Maps, Tract Maps and
Preliminary Title Reports for parcels on either

19 side of Yorba Linda Boulevard. Map right-ofway, parcel lines, and easements on the project base map. Consultant must identify rightof-way impacts associated with the project.

Existing right-of-way lines will be identifi ed on
the engineering plans. Obtain Right-of-Way
Certifi cation summarizing the status of all rightof-way related matters pertaining to a proposed construction project.

The Consultant will check and review for accuracy
existing and proposed all recorded property
legal instruments such as, but not limited to,
survey documentation and title reports, lot and
boundary closure, dedications and easement
provisions, legal descriptions, completeness
and accuracy of data notation, and necessary
certifi cations of City staff .

The Consultant shall support the City in its
right-of-way acquisition eff orts including, but
not limited to, surveying, determination of rightof-way areas, preparation of legal descriptions and accompanying map exhibit, fi eld surveys,
legal research of properties, appraisal services,
temporary construction easements, right of
entry, acquisition and imminent domain and other
eff orts necessary to convey properties to public
use for construction and use by the City.

During the preliminary phase, Psomas plotted the
existing right-of-way lines at the northeasterly
and southeasterly corners of the intersection,
which is suffi cient for preparing legal descriptions
for temporary construction easements (TCEs).

Psomas will complete right-of-way mapping for
the southwesterly curb return.

Psomas will prepare three (3) legal descriptions
and plat maps to support the temporary
construction easements for the proposed
curb returns and ADA ramps at the northeast,
southeast, and southwest corners of the
intersection.

TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN:

Traffi c control plans and construction staging
shall be an important element for this project.

The Consultant shall develop a traffi c control
plan to verify constructability and feasibility
of traffi c handling for the project, primarily
focusing on minimizing traffi c impacts during
construction. The Transportation Control Plan
shall minimize project-related traffi c delays,
and provide continuous traffi c circulation and
access, with adequate space for safe and effi cient
construction. The Consultant shall submit a
complete Traffi c Control Plan for review and
approval by the City.

Psomas will prepare a temporary traffi c control
plan with curb lane closures and temporary,
5-foot-wide pedestrian corridors to allow
pedestrians uninterrupted access to sidewalk and
paths of travel. Up to two (2) 1”=40’ Temporary
Traffi c Control plans, including a general note and

Project Management
Having the right project manager forms the
foundation of any successful project. Carrie
Davis off ers the City over 25 years of planning
and design experience in the transportation
market, 24 of which have been throughout
Southern California. During this time, she has
completed dozens of projects at various project
development stages for many municipalities and
other agencies.

Having a goals-oriented Project Manager
who understands the importance of meeting
deadlines means we will put the City’s needs fi rst.

We commit to responding to questions and/or
requests by the City within the same business
day, balancing our workload to allow us to accept
meeting requests generally within two days,
and providing timely updates on project status.

Being a fi rm with over 750 employees, Psomas
is the “right size” fi rm for this contract – big
enough to handle any individual project, but adept
enough to provide the City a personal touch and
responsiveness.

We are dedicated to delivering excellence and are
committed to maintaining high standards of client
service. We do this by ensuring the right people
are assigned to the project from the beginning
based on technical ability, level of experience, and
availability to meet required deadlines. Carrie has
handpicked the proposed project team from the
many talented engineers and planners who are
based in our Santa Ana offi ce, which includes over
200 employees.

Project Controls
Psomas recognizes the need for tracking project
budgets along with progress to minimize the
risk of cost overruns. Each week, our project
managers use our proprietary “Project-At-AGlance (PAAG)” web interface to review project summary reports detailing hours charged, costs
for that period, and costs for the projects to date.

On our monthly invoices, clients are provided
with the hours and costs charged to jobs for that
month, and a budget summary that shows the
amount spent to date and amount remaining.

Work schedule modifi cations are then made, if
needed to maintain the project’s schedule.

Page 285 of 601 ends

24 Quality Controls
Psomas has responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of our scope of work and will meet
that responsibility through the implementation
of a quality assurance plan. Our QA/QC Program
is based upon the belief that “Project excellence
begins and ends with quality deliverables.” All
individuals working on the project are responsible
for our Quality Control Program (QCP) including
the Project Manager, QA/QC Manager, discipline
leads, and our dedicated staff responsible
for project implementation. Our QCP, which
is not merely a series of individual events or
plan checks at a few points on the schedule,
will be implemented over the duration of the
project. Thorough QC checks and resolution of
comments is built into the project schedule for
each deliverable milestone. This allows for time
required to conduct the QC review and time to
make the necessary revisions to the deliverable.

In the quality assurance stage, Psomas uses
the kickoff meeting to determine your QCP
expectations. We will then develop a work plan
with our Project Manager based upon the City’s
input and the schedule and budget. The work plan
identifi es specifi c work products and establishes a
set of relevant measures and standards of quality
for each task that may result from the project.

Once work on the project begins, we move on to
the quality control stage. In this stage we track
the execution of the work plan, review our designs
and work products, and communicate with the
client and team members. We provide project
information through our cloud-based fi le sharing
tools, allowing all team members to monitor the
progress of our work plan. In this stage, the QA/
QC Manager also facilitates detailed technical
reviews of our fi eld work and design, and those of
all team members, to make sure they meet the
quality standards defi ned in the QCP. This review
is continuous throughout the life of the project
and confi rm a smooth process and a biddable and
buildable fi nal product. Our QA/QC procedures
do not end when the project is complete. Once
we have completed our scope of work, we will
reach out to our clients to solicit feedback on our
performance. We want to know what we did right
but, more importantly, where can we improve.

To deliver project excellence, we can never stop
improving.

Combine these three stages of our QCP with a
robust training program, and you have staff with
the experience, knowledge, and the QA/QC tools
to confi rm high-quality products every time.

Schedule Control
For each project, Psomas develops and maintains
a project schedule that identifi es key milestones
and critical path items. Carrie has a strong
understanding of the interdependence of
project tasks and how each may aff ect the
project schedule. The schedule is updated as
needed and shared with the project team and
stakeholders as warranted. To make sure the
project remains on schedule, the following
strategies are used:
 Regular communication with the City’s
Project Manager to identify critical items.
 Quick response to design questions, fi eld
issues, and other requests.
 Monitor the project schedule to compare
progress versus plan.
 QA/QC verifi cation of subconsultant
products and progress.
 Share design fi les, meeting notes, and other
documents on Psomas’ ProjectWeb to
confi rm team members are using the most
recent information.

Using these tools, Psomas can maintain the
project schedule by monitoring time-critical
items such as agency/stakeholder review periods,
utility relocations, and environmental clearance
progress.

Please refer to Section K, Project Schedule,
which provides a comprehensive overview of the
nature and scheduling of proposed tasks. This
section includes a detailed Gantt chart (using the
critical path method) for each task and subtask,
illustrating critical path items, deliverables, City
review times (two weeks for each deliverable), and
other agency review times.

30 H: Communication Plan
Communication Plan
Once the project is underway, Psomas will maintain regular communication with the City to keep you apprised of progress, technical challenges and solutions, outside communication with stakeholders and utility purveyors, and overall project schedule. Open lines of communication between Psomas, the City, and other project stakeholders is critical for project success.

Carrie’s communication style is very open and collaborative with a goal of ensuring the City’s Project Manager is up to date on the status of each task, project schedule, and budget. Several tools are used to confi rm open lines of communication, which are scaled to fi t each of our projects. Some of these tools include:
 Project Development Team (PDT) Meetings and Bi-Weekly CheckIns: We will schedule regular meetings with the City, and other aff ected stakeholders as needed, to provide updates on the project schedule and key technical tasks.
 Comprehensive Meeting Minutes: We will prepare detailed meeting minutes to document decisions and to communicate project status.

I: Compensation/Payment Schedule
Psomas’ cost proposal is formatted as outlined in Section V of the City’s RFP and provided as a separate document. This rate is fi xed for the term of an agreement.
