CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND

THIS AGREEMENT for consulting services is made by and between the City of Dublin (“City”) and
Gannett Fleming (“Consultant”) (together sometimes referred to as the “Parties”) as of June 7, 2023 (the
“Effective Date”).
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 Effective Date and shall
end on June 30, 2026, and Consultant shall complete the work described in Exhibit A on
or before 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
referenced in Section 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing this Agreement may be extended
on a month to month basis for up to 6 months upon the written consent of the Consultant
and the City Manager, provided that: a) sufficient funds have been appropriated for such
purchase, b) the price charged by the Consultant for the provision of the serves described
in Exhibit A does not increase. None of the foregoing shall 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.
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 Subsection 1.2 above and to satisfy Consultant’s obligations hereunder.
1.5 Public Works Requirements. Because the services described in Exhibit A include “work
performed during the design and preconstruction phases of construction including, but not
limited to, inspection and land surveying work,” the services constitute a public works
within the definition of Section 1720(a)(1) of the California Labor Code. As a result,

1771.1 of the California Labor Code, that Consultant or any subconsultant shall not be

of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work,
as defined in Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the California Labor Code, unless
currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to California Labor Code
section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a
bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by
Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is
registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is

public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant
to California Labor Code section 1725.5. Consultant agrees, in accordance with Section
1771.4 of the California Labor Code, that if the work under this Agreement qualifies as
public work, it is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of
Industrial Relations.

proposal, for services to be performed and reimbursable costs incurred under this Agreement. 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

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

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 Agreement shall
