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

City of El Segundo PSA for Design Services
Page 3
Agreement No. 7354
05/2025
time with or without cause.
B. CONSULTANT may terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30)

CONSULTANT will receive just and equitable compensation for any work
satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination,
not to exceed the total costs under Section 1(C).
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
damages that might otherwise arise from CITY's termination under this
Section.
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

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:
City of El Segundo PSA for Design Services
Page 4
Agreement No. 7354
05/2025
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.
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.

05/2025
MASSIGNABILITY. 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:
Commercial general liability:
Professional Liability
Business automobile liability
Workers compensation
Limits
$2,000,000
$1,000,000
$1,000,000
Statutory requirement
B. Commercial general liability ("CGL") insurance must meet or exceed the
requirements of ISO-CGL Form No. CG 00 01 04 13, or equivalent,
covering CGL on an "occurrence" basis, including property damage, bodily
injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $2,000,000
per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general
aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25
City of El Segundo PSA for Design Services
Page 6
Agreement No. 7354
05/2025
03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required
occurrence limit.
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, For automobiles, the insurance must meet or exceed the requirements of
Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 covering Code 1 (any
auto), or, if CONSULTANT provides proof of a personal automobile policy,
such personal policy must include and indicate business venture coverage
with limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and
property damage. If CONSULTANT has no owned autos, Code 8 (hired)
and 9 (non -owned), with limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident for
bodily injury and property damage must be included in coverage. If
CONSULTANT does not use an auto for any component of this
Agreement's performance, then CONSULTANT must sign and submit the
form attached as Exhibit "B" to CITY before carrying out work under this
Agreement.
E. 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, and the notice must include any necessary
endorsement to facilitate such notice to CITY.
F. 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 Additional 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
City of El Segundo PSA for Design Services
Page 7
Agreement No. 7354

equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII."
G. Required insurance endorsement language is as follows:

Segundo, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and
volunteers as additional insureds."
Cancellation Endorsement with this language: "The City of El
Segundo will receive thirty (30) days written notice in the event of
cancellation, nonrenewed or reduction."
iii. Primary and Non -Contributory Endorsement with this language:
"Coverage is primary and non-contributory such that any other
insurance that may be carried by the City will be excess thereto."
H. 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
