CONSULTANT under this Agreement will not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights
CITY may have under this Agreement or of any cause of action arising from CONSULTANT's
performance. A waiver by CITY of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition contained in
this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any

character.
15. TERMINATION.
A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time
with or without cause.

16. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS. All documents, data, studies, drawings, maps, models,
photographs and reports prepared by CONSULTANT under this Agreement are CITY's
property. CONSULTANT may retain copies of said documents and materials as desired but will
deliver all original materials to CITY upon CITY's written notice. CITY agrees that use of
CONSULTANT's completed work product, for purposes other than identified in this Agreement,
or use of incomplete work product, is at CITY's own risk.
17. PUBLICATION OF DOCUMENTS. Except as necessary for performance of service under
this Agreement, no copies, sketches, or graphs of materials, including graphic art work,
prepared pursuant to this Agreement, will be released by CONSULTANT to any other person or
public CITY without CITY's prior written approval. All press releases, including graphic display
information to be published in newspapers or magazines, will be approved and distributed solely
by CITY, unless otherwise provided by written agreement between the parties.
18. INDEMNIFICATION. This Agreement contemplates that CONSULTANT will act both as a
design professional (as defined by Civil Code § 2782.8) and for other management services.
Accordingly, CONSULTANT agrees to provide indemnification as follows:
A. CONSULTANT must save harmless, indemnify and defend CITY and all its
officers, employees and representatives from and against any and all suits,
actions, or claims, of any character whatever, brought for, or on account of,
any injuries or damages sustained by any person or property arising from,
pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful
misconduct of CONSULTANT or any of CONSULTANT's officers, agents,
employees, or representatives. CONSULTANT's duty to defend consists of
reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the
CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT's percentage
of fault will be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In
the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or
resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the
CONSULTANT's percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation to determine
the CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of
determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to
the CITY; CONSULTANT and CITY must each pay half the mediator's fees.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event one or more defendants to a Claim is
unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the
business, the CONSULTANT must meet and confer with the CITY regarding
unpaid defense costs.
B. Defense For All Non -Design Professional Liabilities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and without diminishing any rights of the CITY under subsection A, for
any liability, claim, demand, allegation against CITY arising out of, related to, or
pertaining to any act or omission of CONSULTANT, but which is not a design
professional service, CONSULTANT must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Indemnitees from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expert witness fees), judgments, settlements,
and/or arbitration awards, whether for personal or bodily injury, property damage,
or economic injury, to the extent that they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT.

Agreement No. 6143
C. For purposes of this section "CITY" includes CITY's officers, officials, employees,
agents, representatives, and certified volunteers.
D. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended
to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California
and will survive termination of this Agreement.
The insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 22, will not
limit the liability of CONSULTANT hereunder. The provisions of this section will survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
19. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT's professional services.
CONSULTANT's attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY's
written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
20. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that CONSULTANT will
act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which it is
performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other
employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY
and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY
provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the
right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of
control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end
results of the work only.
21. AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT will maintain full and accurate records with respect
to all services and matters covered under this Agreement. CITY will have free access at all
reasonable times to such records, and the right to examine and audit the same and to make
transcript therefrom, and to inspect all program data, documents, proceedings and activities.
CONSULTANT will retain such financial and program service records for at least three (3) years
after termination or final payment under this Agreement.
22. INSURANCE.
A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times
this Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT will procure and maintain the
following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with
the limits set forth below:
Type of Insurance
Commercial general liability:
Professional Liability
Business automobile liability

Limits
$2,000,000

City of El Segundo PSA for Design Services
Page 5
Agreement No. 6143
insurance set forth above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily
injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Liability
policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials, and employees as
"additional insureds" under said insurance coverage and to state that such
insurance will be deemed "primary" such that any other insurance that may be
carried by CITY will be excess thereto. CITY's additional insured status will
apply with respect to liability and defense of suits arising out of CONSULTANT's
acts or omissions. Such insurance will be on an "occurrence," not a "claims
made," basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice to CITY.
C. Professional liability coverage will be on an "occurrence basis" if such coverage
is available, or on a "claims made" basis if not available. When coverage is
provided on a "claims made basis," CONSULTANT will continue to renew the
insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is
terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy
that was in effect during the term of this Agreement and will cover
CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions
of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this
Agreement was in effect.
D. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA
00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
E. CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY valid Certificates of Insurance evidencing
maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement, a copy of an
Additional Insured endorsement confirming CITY has been given Insured status
under the CONSULTANT's General Liability policy, and such other evidence of
insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by CITY from time
to time. Insurance must be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best
Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII."
F. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT's
expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to Section 15.
23. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY's prior written approval
to use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must
approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.
24. INCIDENTAL TASKS. CONSULTANT will meet with CITY monthly to provide the status on
the project, which will include a schedule update and a short narrative description of progress
during the past month for each major task, a description of the work remaining and a description
of the work to be done before the next schedule update.

Resume for Richard Garland, P.E.
Agreement No. 6143
1. UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCOPE OF WORK
Our understanding of the scope of work is that Garland Associates, and Richard Garland, P.E.
in particular, would serve as the on -call traffic engineer for the City of El Segundo. The firm
would essentially be an extension of City staff by performing the duties typically expected of a
city's traffic engineer. As the City of El Segundo does not require the services of a full-time
traffic engineer, this position would provide those services on an as -needed basis.
The approach for accomplishing the desired scope of work for each project would be to use a
series of individual work orders that would be directed to the consultant by the City's Public
Works Director and/or a member of the Public Works/Engineering staff. Each task or project
would be assigned to the traffic engineering consultant with a specific task order that will detail
the expected scope of work, deadlines, and final product. The consultant would then conduct a
technical analysis and prepare a report or memorandum to summarize the methodology, findings,
and recommendations regarding the assigned task.
The anticipated milestones would vary on a task -by -task basis and would depend on the type of
project being assigned, the deadlines that are needed, and the urgency of the particular
assignment. For example, some relatively minor tasks might have a one or two-day turnaround
while other projects might require several weeks or months to complete. The deadlines and
expectations would be established in the task order for each project.
It is anticipated that the typical deliverables would be in the form of a technical memorandum,
full report, draft staff report, diagram, CADD drawing, GIS map, etc. The deliverables would
vary depending on the type of project and the objective of the assignment and would be specified
in the task order for each project.

the following pages highlights the firm's qualifications and Mr. Garland's related experience.
First is a description of the related experience performing traffic engineering tasks and duties for
cities within the last five years. The references for these projects are provided, including their
title, phone number, and email address. This is followed by a description of other related
experience, which has been included to represent the breadth of Garland Associates'
qualifications in traffic engineering and transportation planning.

Victorville
Garland Associates prepared the traffic signal design drawings for a traffic signal modification at
the intersection of Bear Valley Road and Pacoima Road. An existing traffic signal is in place at
this "T" intersection. A proposed car wash and commercial development would add a fourth leg
to the intersection and would require that Bear Valley Road be widened. The traffic signal design
specified the signal components that would be needed to convert the signal to a four -approach
design and designated the size and locations of the new poles and mast arms.

Coronado PernflLParking Program
Mr. Garland developed a permit parking program for the City of Coronado in response to a
concern for parking intrusion in several residential neighborhoods. The parking problems arose
because the residential areas are located adjacent to a Naval Air Station, the beach, and the
popular Hotel del Coronado. Based on the findings of extensive data collection efforts and a
series of public meetings, a model ordinance was drafted to set up the program.
Malibu Colony Shopping Center
Mr. Garland conducted a study to determine the traffic impacts of a community shopping center
proposed near the Civic Center/Malibu Colony area of Malibu. The effects of project -generated
traffic on the streets and intersections in this primarily residential and recreational area were
evaluated.

the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, WA, and the Naval Station in Everett, WA
(Seattle area).
Seaport Village - San Diego
Mr. Garland conducted a traffic impact, access, and parking study for a proposed expansion of
Seaport Village in San Diego. This popular harbor -front attraction includes restaurants, retail
shops, recreational rides, boat rentals, and live entertainment. The study addressed a modified
access/circulation system as well as a proposed parking structure.
