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

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,

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.
13Defense 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. 6209
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.

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.

following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with
the limits set forth below:

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

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.

expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate pursuant to Section 15.

Dear Mr. Sassoon:
GMU Geotechnical, Inc (GMU) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide geotechnical and
structural design services for design and construction of a scoreboard foundation within George Brett
Field in the city of El Segundo, California.
We proposed to perform the following scope of work:
Task 1 — Geotechnical Investigation and Design Services
Geotechnical Site Investigation
• Perform an initial site visit to observe the existing site conditions and to mark the
location of our planned subsurface exploration. As required by law, we will notify
Underground Service Alert (USA) of the proposed exploration location prior to
drilling.
• Explore the site by performing one (1) hand -auger drill hole to a maximum depth of
15 feet below the existing grade at the proposed location of the scoreboard.
• Collect bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples for geotechnical laboratory
testing.
(Jeotcs.hnical l.,al tlw �t m�v l cstC�t
Perform laboratory testing to evaluate various engineering properties of the sub-
surface materials. Laboratory testing will likely consist of in -place moisture and
density, soil classification, direct shear testing, and corrosion testing.
Geotechnical Engineering Analyses / DeSi n Letter Preparation
0 Determine the scoreboard deep foundation recommendations, including axial
capacity and lateral capacity.
• Recommendations for the design of the footings.
• Provide a geotechnical design parameters letter to be attached to the structural
calculations packet for submission to the City of El Segundo.

proceed. Investigation can be completed within 2-weeks from notice to proceed. Upon
completion of investigation, we anticipate an additional week for lab testing followed by an
additional 1 - 2-weeks for design parameters letter, structural design, and plans. Total of 4 to 5
weeks for completion of all deliverables.
