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

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

Agreement No. 7007
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. 7007
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:

Agreement No. 7007
B, Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
ISO-CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88, or equivalent. The amount of
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.

C-ectionScope of Services
The following Critical Project Elements identifies the typical
survey tasks to be performed on non -construction and
construction projects.
f�l Gflc'r,l Piroi'.,t,:l:L,,.l� r, ,,,�er'f.J
TypicalNon-Construction
• Project datums and sources identified. Typical horizontal
and vertical datums used are City, County, NGS, Caltrans. In
non -critical, isolated small projects, assumed datums may be
acceptable to provide efficiency. This will be confirmed by the
City prior to commencing work.
• Fortopographic mapping, map scale, accuracy, and contour
interval are identified.
• Field equipment and procedures are established for desired
accuracy, detail, and efficiency.
• Project limits are identified.
• Level of mapping detail is identified.
• Critical boundary and R/W are identified.
• Non -critical boundaries, R/W, level of accuracy requirements,
and acceptable resources are identified. Typically project base
maps require, for instance, R/W lines.
• If the project will be confined within the paved road, R/W can
attimes be per record data and best fit or from a GIS source.
The source will be identified on the map and an advisory if
the design will require construction in close proximity to the
R/W line; that line must move to the critical R/W status and be
formally retraced.
• Easement research and retracement needs are identified. The
need for title reports is assessed.
• CADD mapping standards are identified. These can be in-house
or City specified.
• Utility mapping requirements are identified. Critical items
may include location of visible utilities, manhole dipping,
Underground Service Alert (USA) markings, and atlas
procurement from utility companies. In some cases, as
needed, we contract with an underground utility locating
company to positively identify locations, type, and condition in
the case of sewer and storm drain video inspection.
• Access issues determined and access permits acquired as
needed.
Agreement;iMa,i79Q7r,���
PROPOSAL FOR ON -CALL LAND SURVEYING SERVICES
• Safety issues are considered. Traffic control is implemented
as needed. Special, off-peak traffic working hours may be
incorporated for crew safety.
• Scanning may be incorporated for safety and efficiency.
Typical Survey Tasksfor Construction Projects
• Plan Verification. Construction staking assignments begin
with verifying the plans are the current, approved plans. We
often receive electronic drawings, which we carefully compare
against the hard copy approved plans. We will note any
discrepancies and address them with the design consultant.
• Project Controls. Prior to commencing construction layout
work, our first field assignment is to check and verify
project horizontal and vertical control. Our field team will
independently survey this control. We will provide a project
control report for use by the construction staking surveyor.
• Conforming Ties. We will identify all tie-in points where new
construction conforms to the existing in order to eliminate any
discrepancies that we may encounter.
• Safety. Safety issues are considered. Traffic control is
implemented as needed. Special, off-peak traffic working hours
may be incorporated for crew safety.
• Survey Request Authority and Timing. Prior to commencing
work, we will establish the person or persons authorized to
request staking, monitoring, or other tasks with the City. We
will also establish a preferred lead time to ensure availability
and preparedness,
TypicaliReview
• Project Review Procedures. Upon receiving a project from the
City, we log the submittal into our spreadsheet and assign a
tracking number. We also set atarget due date that falls prior to
the State -mandated deadline for response. The project location
and key data are also entered into our GIS database in order to
observe if we have reviewed any previous projects the vicinity
to leverage that experience into the new project. The submittal
is reviewed for completeness. Once the submittal is deemed
substantially complete, we conduct the first thorough review.
We prepare a redlined map and a separate text document
listing the review comments. We can work with hard copy
submittals but have found that Adobat PDF submittals are very
efficient and we encourage that type of submittal. Depending
on the City's preference, we will send our comments directly
back to the City whereby the City will review and forward to
SECTION 3. TYPICAL SCOPE OF SERVICES AND HOURLY RATES 5
project surveyor; otherwise, we will work directly with the
project surveyor with copies to the City.
Coordination with Plan Checking. When easements,
roadways, or other dedications are required, we find it valuable
to correspond with the person assigned to the plan check to
ensure the areas being dedicated are adequate for the project.
We also review the conditions of approval to identify any
conditions tied to the preparation or recordation of the map
and/or documents.
Design Services to be Provided by MNS Surveys

e,"f,, Fee fh!'' Se e
The cost for providing a specified project or task will vary
depending upon the size, complexity, and nature of the project.
The following shows a range of fees for average -sized, average -
complexity projects that MNS typically encounters.
Private Development Review
These fees will vary depending upon the size and complexity,
as well as on the completeness of the submittal and the quality
of the maps and documents provided. Based upon actual costs

PROPOSAL FOR ON -CALL LAND SURVEYING SERVICES
from six recent projects, for reviewing a Parcel Map or 1 Lot Tract
Map for Condominiums, which required one major review and
two subsequent, minor reviews through to recordation; the costs
ranged between $2,400—$4,200 with an average fee of $3,005.
TopographicsiComplete
Improvements
This includes contour map and 3D surface, above -ground
utilities, opening and measuring of manholes, full topo from
back of walk to back of walk, striping, and R/W retracement for
a 500-foot block. An approximate cost will be $9,500—$11,500,
depending upon complexity and availability of monuments.
Reducing the scope when this comprehensive level is not needed
will reduce the cost.
Construction Projects
These vary greatly; however, a typical daily charge which will
include office and field support for one day of staking:
• One -person crew with office support will be approximately
$2,270
• Two -person crew with office support will be approximately
$3,270
A large percentage of our work is completed with a one -person
crew.
In all instances, a larger project will typically benefit from
efficiency of scale and have a lower average daily rate.
