THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 2nd day of May, 2023 by and between Alta
Planning + Design, Inc. ("Consultant"), and the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal
corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California
("City").
RECITALS
A. On February 22, 2023 the City issued a Request for Proposal ("RFP") No. 23-025, by
which it desired to retain a consultant having special skill and knowledge in the field of
engineering services on an "on -call" basis for the City's Public Works Agency.
B. Consultant submitted a responsive proposal that was among those selected by the city.
Consultant represents that it is able and willing to provide such services described in the
scope of work that was included in the RFP No. 23-025.
C. In undertaking the performance of this Agreement, Consultant represents that it is
knowledgeable in its field and that any services performed by Consultant under this
Agreement will be performed in compliance with such standards as may reasonably be
expected from a professional consulting firm in the field.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective promises, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall perform all tasks, services, and
obligations described in the scope of work section included within RFP No. 23-025, including
providing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidental customary work required to fully
and adequately complete the services described and set forth in the "Scope of Services", which
was included in RFP 23-025 and is attached hereto and fully incorporated herein by this reference
as Exhibit A.
2. COMPENSATION
a. City neither warrants nor guarantees any minimum or maximum compensation to
Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant shall be paid only for actual services
performed under this Agreement at the rates and charges identified in Consultant's Fee
Proposal, which is attached hereto and fully incorporated herein by this reference as
Exhibit B. Consultant is one of ten (10) separate consultants selected to provide
services on an on -call basis under RFP 23-025. The total compensation for services

Page 1 of 10
b. Payment by City shall be made within forty-five (45) days following receipt of proper

in the Recitals which may reasonably be expected by City.
3. TERM
This Agreement shall commence on May 2, 2023 and end on May 1, 2026, with the option
for the City to grant up to two (2), 1-year extensions, exercisable by a writing by the City Manager
and the City Attorney, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 15, below.
4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Consultant shall, during the entire term of this Agreement, be construed to be an
independent contractor and not an employee of the City. This Agreement is not intended nor shall
it be construed to create an employer -employee relationship, a joint venture relationship, or to
allow the City to exercise discretion or control over the professional manner in which Consultant
performs the services which are the subject matter of this Agreement; however, the services to be
provided by Consultant shall be provided in a manner consistent with all applicable standards and
regulations governing such services. Consultant shall pay all salaries and wages, employer's social

authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, including but not limited to, physical
drawings or data magnetically or otherwise recorded on computer diskettes, which are prepared or
caused to be prepared by Consultant under this Agreement ("Documents & Data"). Consultant
shall require all subcontractors to agree in writing that City is granted a non-exclusive and
perpetual license for any Documents & Data the subcontractor prepares under this Agreement.
Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant has the legal right to license any and all
Documents & Data. Consultant makes no such representation and warranty in regard to
Documents & Data which were provided to Consultant by the City. City shall not be limited in
any way in its use of the Documents and Data at any time, provided that any such use not within
the purposes intended by this Agreement shall be at City's sole risk.
6. INSURANCE
a. Consultant shall not commence work for the City until it has provided evidence

minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
c. Other Insurance Provisions. The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed
to contain, the following provisions:
(i) Additional Insured Status. The City, its officers, officials, employees,
and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL

endorsement to the Consultant's insurance (at least as broad as ISO
Form CG 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG
20 38; and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).

(iv)Waiver of Subrogation. Consultant hereby grants to City a waiver of
any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Consultant may

necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies
regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of
subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
(v) Self -Insured Retentions. Self -insured retentions must be declared to
and approved by the City. The City may require the Consultant to
purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to
pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense
expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be
endorsed to provide, that the self -insured retention may be satisfied by
either the named insured or City.
(vi)Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance is to be placed with insurers
authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best's
rating of no less than ANII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.

endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting
Page 4 of 10
coverage required by this clause) and a copy of the Declarations and
Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to
City before work begins. However, failure to obtain the required
documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Consultant's
obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require
complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including
endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.
(ix) Subcontractors. Consultant shall require and verify that all
subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Consultant shall ensure that City is an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors.
(x) Special Risks or Circumstances. City reserves the right to modify
these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk,
prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

Consultant agrees to defend, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers,
agents, employees, contractors, special counsel, and representatives from liability: (1) for personal
injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims for
personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the
negligent operations of the Consultant, its subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons
acting on its behalf which relates to the services described in section 1 of this Agreement; and (2)
from any claim that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable
relief is due by reason of the terms of or effects arising from this Agreement. This indemnity and

fees and costs for special counsel to be selected by the City, regarding any action by a third party
challenging the validity of this Agreement, or asserting that personal injury, damages, just
compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief due to personal or property rights arises by
reason of the terms of, or effects arising from this Agreement. City may make all reasonable
decisions with respect to its representation in any legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to the extent Consultant's services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity
shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of,
pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant.

granted by the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by
the party waiving the breach, failure, right or remedy. No waiver of any breach, failure or right, or
remedy shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach, failure, right or remedy, whether or not
similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing so specifies.
