C. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive
termination of this Agreement.
D. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be
maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 22, and any approval of
said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or
qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions
concerning indemnification.
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 is it 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.
A. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain,
and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.
CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant
information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises,
upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of
interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records,
accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation
for the purpose of determining compliance with Government Code § 8546.7.
CONSULTANT further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3)
years following final payment under this Agreement.
B. CONSULTANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining
to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.
22. INSURANCE.
A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this
Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT must procure and maintain the following
types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits
set forth below:
Page 6 of 11
J .p
Type of Insurance Limits (combined single)
Commercial general liability: $1,000,000
Professional Liability $1,000,000
Business automobile liability $1,000,000
Workers compensation Statutory requirement.
B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
ISO -CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. 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.
Such endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88.
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. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA
00 0106 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
D. 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 maintain the
insurance in effect for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or
is terminated ( "extended insurance "). Such extended 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.
E. CONSULTANT will furnish to City duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance
evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement,
endorsements as required herein, 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.

the form of a memo We will also be prepared to conduct a telecon to discuss our comments with
SECOR staff, if this should be desired.

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR REVIEW OF PHASE II AND HEALTH RISK
ASSESSMENT REPORTS, DEVELOPMENT AT NW CORNER OF
KANSAS AND GRAND, EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA
Dear Steve:
As requested, SCS Engineers (SCS) is pleased submit this proposal to review Phase II site
investigation and Health Risk Assessment reports prepared by Secor Environmental for the
subject development.
It is our understanding that a private developer is planning townhomes /condominiums on the site of a
former wire manufacturing facility. The City of El Segundo is interested in having SCS review the
documents to evaluate the adequacy of the environmental assessment conducted. The proposed
scope of work is outlined below.
SCOPE OF WORK
SCS proposes to complete a review of the documents focusing on potential health and
environmental risks presented by hazardous substances which may remain in soil and other media
on the parcel to be developed. After review of the documents, SCS will develop a written set of
comments that would reflect what we believe are the major issues /inadequacies pertinent to these
issues. We would send our comments to you in draft form for review prior to finalization.
It is assumed that the City will deliver the appropriate documents to SCS at the project onset.
COST ESTIMATE
SCS proposes to conduct the project on a time - and - materials basis with an initial budget
estimated not to exceed $5,000. Invoicing will be monthly and in accordance with SCS's
standard fee schedule (copy attached). If, because of the volume or type of documentation that
must be reviewed, the initial budget appears to be inadequate, we will contact you as soon as
possible to discuss additional estimated requirements.
