program meets the standards of the Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract

end on June 30,2019,and Consultant shall complete the work described in Exhibit A as assigned
by Task Order prior to that date, unless the term of the Agreement is otherwise terminated or

program meets the standards of the Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract
Administrator.The insurer,if insurance is provided, or the Consultant, if a program of self-

aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Such coverage shall
include but shall not be limited to, protection against claims arising from bodily and

CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND
BSK ASSOCIATES
This Agreement is made and entered into between the City of Dublin ("City")and BSK Associates("Consultant")as of
July 1,2016(the"Effective Date"). In consideration of their mutual covenants,the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Consultant shall
provide to City the services described in the Scope of Work attached as Exhibit A at the time and place and in the
manner specified therein. In the event of a conflict in or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and
Exhibit A,the Agreement shall prevail.
1.1 Term of Services. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date first noted above and shall
end on June 30,2019,and Consultant shall complete the work described in Exhibit A as assigned
by Task Order prior to that date, unless the term of the Agreement is otherwise terminated or
extended,as provided for in Section 8. The time provided to Consultant to complete the services
required by this Agreement shall not affect the City's right to terminate the Agreement,as provided
for in Section 8.
1.2 Standard of Performance. Consultant shall perform all services required pursuant to this
Agreement in the manner and according to the standards observed by a competent practitioner of
the profession in which Consultant is engaged in the geographical area in which Consultant
practices its profession. Consultant shall prepare all work products required by this Agreement in
conformance with standards of quality normally observed by a person practicing in Consultant's
profession.
1.3 Assignment of Personnel. Consultant shall assign only competent personnel to perform services
pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion,at any time during the term
of this Agreement,desires the reassignment of any such persons,Consultant shall, immediately
upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, reassign such person or persons.
1.4 Time. Consultant shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this
Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance provided in
Section 1.1 above and to satisfy Consultant's obligations hereunder.
Section 2. COMPENSATION. City hereby agrees to pay Consultant for services outlined in Exhibit A in
accordance with the hourly rate schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B. In the event of a conflict between this
Agreement and Consultant's proposal,attached as Exhibit A, regarding the amount of compensation,the Agreement
shall prevail. City shall pay Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the time and in the
manner set forth herein. The payments specified below shall be the only payments from City to Consultant for
services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall submit all invoices to City in the manner specified
herein. Except as specifically authorized by City, Consultant shall not bill City for duplicate services performed by
more than one person.
Consultant and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to Consultant under this Agreement is
based upon Consultant's estimated costs of providing the services required hereunder, including salaries and
benefits of employees and subcontractors of Consultant. Consequently,the parties further agree that compensation
hereunder is intended to include the costs of contributions to any pensions and/or annuities to which Consultant and
its employees,agents,and subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such contributions
beyond compensation required under this Agreement.
2.1 Invoices. Consultant shall submit invoices, not more often than once a month during the term of this
Agreement, based on the cost for services performed and reimbursable costs incurred prior to the invoice date. No
individual performing work under this Contract shall bill more than 2,000 hours in a fiscal year unless approved, in
writing, by the City Manager or his/her designee. Invoices shall contain the following information:
• Serial identifications of progress bills; i.e., Progress Bill No. 1 for the first invoice,etc.;
• The beginning and ending dates of the billing period;
• A copy of the applicable time entries or time sheets shall be submitted showing the
following:
o Daily logs of total hours worked by each individual performing work under this
Contract
o Hours must be logged in increments of tenths of an hour or quarter hours
o If this Contract covers multiple projects,all hours must also be logged by project
assignment
o A brief description of the work,and each reimbursable expense
• A Task Summary containing the original contract amount,the amount of prior billings,the
total due this period,the balance available under the Agreement,and the percentage of
completion;
• The total number of hours of work performed under the Agreement by Consultant and
each employee,agent,and subcontractor of Consultant performing services hereunder,
as well as a separate notice when the total number of hours of work by Consultant and
any individual employee,agent,or subcontractor of Consultant reaches or exceeds 800
hours,which shall include an estimate of the time necessary to complete the work
described in Exhibit A;
• The Consultant's signature.
2.2 Monthly Payment. City shall make monthly payments,based on invoices received,for services
satisfactorily performed,and for authorized reimbursable costs incurred. City shall have 30 days
from the receipt of an invoice that complies with all of the requirements above to pay Consultant.
2.3 Total Payment. City shall pay for the services to be rendered by Consultant pursuant to this
Agreement. City shall not pay any additional sum for any expense or cost whatsoever incurred by
Consultant in rendering services pursuant to this Agreement. City shall make no payment for any
extra,further,or additional service pursuant to this Agreement.
In no event shall Consultant submit any invoice for an amount in excess of the maximum amount of
compensation provided above either for a task or for the entire Agreement,unless the Agreement
is modified prior to the submission of such an invoice by a properly executed change order or
amendment.
2.4 Hourly Fees. Fees for work performed by Consultant on an hourly basis shall not exceed the

policies and endorsements. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of
right to exercise later.
4.4.3 Subcontractors. Consultant agrees to include with all subcontractors in their subcontract
the same requirements and provisions of this Agreement including the Indemnification
and Insurance requirements to the extent they apply to the scope of the Subcontractor's

4.4.6 Excess Insurance. The limits of insurance required in this Agreement may be satisfied
by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess
insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall
also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City(if agreed to in a
written contract or agreement)before City's own insurance or self-insurance shall be
called upon to protect City as a named insured.
4.4.7 Notice of Reduction in Coverage. In the event that any coverage required by this
section is reduced, limited, or materially affected in any other manner,Consultant shall
provide written notice to City at Consultant's earliest possible opportunity and in no case
later than five days after Consultant is notified of the change in coverage.
4.5 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Consultant fails to provide or
maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein
required,City may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies,which are alternatives
to other remedies City may have and are not the exclusive remedy for Consultant's breach:
• Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance
from any sums due under the Agreement;
• Order Consultant to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes
due to Consultant hereunder,or both stop work and withhold any payment, until Consultant

agents and employees against any and all suits,claims or actions arising out of any injury to persons or property,
including death,that may occur,or that may be alleged to have occurred, in the course of the performance of this
Agreement by a negligent act or omission or wrongful misconduct of the Consultant or its employees,subcontractors
or agents. Consultant further agrees to defend any and all such actions, suits or claims and pay all charges of
attorneys and all other costs and expenses arising therefrom or incurred in connection therewith; and if any judgment
be rendered against the City or any of the other individuals enumerated above in any such action,Consultant shall, at
its expense, satisfy and discharge the same. Consultant's responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations
shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. The defense
and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited
by,the insurance obligations contained in this Agreement.
In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this
Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS)to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City,Consultant shall indemnify,defend, and hold
harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of
Consultant or its employees, agents,or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on
such contributions,which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
Consultant/Subcontractor's responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the termination or
