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
other term, covenant, or condition contained in this Agreement, whether of the same or different
character.
15. TERMINATION,
A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time
with or without cause.
B. CONSULTANT may terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty days'

compensate CONSULTANT for such work.
D. Should termination occur, all finished or unfinished documents, data, studies,
surveys, drawings, maps, reports and other materials prepared by
CONSULTANT will, at CITY's option, become CITY's property, and
CONSULTANT will receive just and equitable compensation for any work

E. Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure
on its own terms services similar to those terminated.
F. By executing this document, CONSULTANT waives any and all claims for

City of El Segundo PSA for Design Services Rev 5/7/24
Page 3
Agreement No. 7086
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.
C. For purposes of this section "CITY" includes CITY's officers, officials, employees,
agents, representatives, and certified volunteers.

Agreement No. 7086
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:

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.

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).

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

1. SCOPE OF WORK
Garland Associates proposes the following scope of work for conducting the engineering and
traffic survey for speed zoning in El Segundo. The objective of the survey is to measure and
document the prevailing highway and traffic conditions in accordance with the methodology
prescribed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for local jurisdictions.
Task 1— Review Existing Documentation
The 2019 "Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning" will be reviewed to gain a thorough
understanding of the data collected and the analyses conducted for the previous speed study. In
addition, the applicable sections of the El Segundo Municipal Code will be reviewed to verify the
existing speed limits on each street segment included in the survey. It will also be determined
through field reconnaissance, a review of available maps, and discussions with City staff if any
new street segments have been constructed that should be included in the speed survey.
Task 2 — Conduct Speed Surveys
Vehicle speed data will be collected at all of the locations within the City of El Segundo that were
surveyed in the previous speed study and on any new street segments that have been constructed
since the previous study. The survey locations will generally represent the street segments
designated in the City of El Segundo General Plan Circulation Element. The speed measurements
will be taken with a radar speed meter. It is assumed that Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1)
will not be included in this survey because it is a State of California highway and has previously
been surveyed by Caltrans.
To conduct the surveys, the technician will be positioned on straight street segments as far away
as possible from a stop sign or traffic signal. The surveys will be conducted in an inconspicuous
manner so that driver behavior will not be affected and the data will represent both directions of
travel. Periods of peak traffic congestion will be avoided as well as unusual conditions such as
rainy weather, fog, accidents, or heavy school -related activities. The guideline will be to survey
approximately 100 vehicles at each location (or at least 50 vehicles if the traffic volumes are
extremely low).
Task 3 - Review Accident Statistics
As recommended in the "California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices," a two-year
history of accidents will be reviewed as input for determining the appropriate speed limits. Either
the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) reports for the City of El
Segundo or data from the El Segundo Police Department will be used as the source for accident
data. Statistics for the most recent two-year period (e.g., from January 1, 2022 to December 31,
2023) will be used to determine the number of accidents along each street segment. The accident
data will be provided to the consultant by City of El Segundo staff.
Task 4 — Collect Traffic Volume Data
Daily traffic volume data will be collected at locations that are representative of each of the speed
survey locations to quantify the existing traffic volumes. New traffic counts will be taken by a
subcontractor. This traffic volume data will be used to calculate the accident rates on the study
area street segments.
Agreement No. 7086
Task 5 — Monitor the Existing Highway, Traffic, and Roadside Conditions
Another component of the engineering and traffic survey is an analysis of highway, traffic, and
roadside conditions. The information in this category includes traffic volumes, geometric features,
roadway alignment, parking conditions, driveway activity, school activity, pedestrian
concentrations, parks, and visibility deficiencies. The sources for this information are the traffic
volumes described in Task 4, maps and plans on file at the City's Public Works Department, and
field reconnaissance by the consultant. The objective of this analysis is to identify traffic conflicts
and unusual conditions which are not readily apparent to the driver. If such unexpected conditions
are present, then speed limits below the 85a' percentile speed may be warranted.
Task 6 — Determine Appropriate Speed Limits
The information developed in Tasks 1 through 5 will be used to determine the appropriate action
to take regarding the speed limits on each street segment; i.e., whether to increase, decrease, or
maintain the current speed limits. The approach for selecting the proper speed limit will be to start
with the nearest 5 mile per hour increment of the 85th percentile speed then determine if there
should be a reduction based on the accident records or the presence of any unusual roadway, traffic,
or roadside conditions not readily apparent to a motorist. A higher than average accident rate and/or
unique conditions are considered as justifications for decreasing the speed limits from the level
preliminarily indicated by the speed survey. The findings will be consistent with the methodologies
outlined in the "California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" as well as the State of
California "Vehicle Code."
Task 7 — Prepare Report
The data collected, the methodology used, and the findings of the engineering and speed survey
will be documented in a report that will be suitable for use by the El Segundo Police Department
and the court system. A draft report will be prepared and submitted to City staff for review. A final
report will then be prepared in response to the comments received.
