corresponding reduction or increase in the compensation associated with said change
in services, not to exceed a factor of10% from the base amount.
3. PROJECT COORDINATION AND SUPERVISION.
Patricia Beard hereby is designated as the Project Coordinator for the CDC and will
monitor the progress and execution of this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR shall
assign a single Project Director to provide supervision and have overall responsibility for
the progress and execution of this Agreement for the CONTRACTOR. Javier Saunders

during the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years from the date of final payment
under this Agreement, for inspection by the CDC and for furnishing of copies to the
CDC, if requested.
5. LENGTH OF AGREEMENT. The completion date for this
Agreement shall be June 30, 2007.
6. DISPOSITION AND OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS.
Memoranda, reports, maps, drawings, plans, specifications and other documents
prepared by the CONTRACTOR for this Project, whether paper or electronic, shall
become the property of the CDC for use with respect to this Project, and shall be turned
over to the CDC upon completion of the Project, or any phase thereof, as contemplated
by this Agreement.
Contemporaneously with the transfer of documents, the CONTRACTOR
hereby assigns to the CDC, and CONTRACTOR thereby expressly waives and
disclaims, any copyright in, and the right to reproduce, all written material, drawings,
plans, specifications or other work prepared under this Agreement, except upon the
CDC's prior authorization regarding reproduction, which authorization shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The CONTRACTOR shall, upon request of the CDC, execute
any further document(s) necessary to further effectuate this waiver and disclaimer.
2

reproduce, modify, assign, transfer, or in any other way, medium or method utilize the
CONTRACTOR's written work product for the CDC's purposes, and the CONTRACTOR

980 through 989 relating to intellectual property and artistic works.
Any modification or reuse by the CDC of documents, drawings or
specifications prepared by the CONTRACTOR shall relieve the CONTRACTOR from
liability under Section 14 but only with respect to the effect of the modification or reuse
by the CDC, or for any liability to the CDC should the documents be used by the CDC
for some project other than what was expressly agreed upon within the Scope of this
project, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Both parties hereto in the
performance of this Agreement will be acting in an independent capacity and not as
agents, employees, partners or joint venturers with one another. Neither the
CONTRACTOR nor the CONTRACTOR'S employees are employees of the CDC and
are not entitled to any of the rights, benefits or privileges of the CDC's employees,
including but not limited to retirement, medical, unemployment, or workers'
compensation insurance.
This Agreement contemplates the personal services of the
CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR's employees, and it is recognized by the
parties that a substantial inducement to the CDC for entering into this Agreement was,
and is, the professional reputation and competence of the CONTRACTOR and its
employees. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be assigned by the
CONTRACTOR without the prior written consent of the CDC. Nothing herein contained
is intended to prevent the CONTRACTOR from employing or hiring as many employees
or subcontractors as the CONTRACTOR may deem necessary for the proper and
efficient performance of this Agreement. All agreements by CONTRACTOR with its
subcontractor(s) shall require the subcontractor to adhere to the applicable terms of this
Agreement.
8. CONTROL. Neither the CDC nor its officers, agents or employees
shall have any control over the conduct of the CONTRACTOR, or any of the
CONTRACTOR's employees except as herein set forth, and the CONTRACTOR
expressly agrees not to represent that the CONTRACTOR or the CONTRACTOR's
agents, servants or employees are in any manner agents, servants or employees of the
CDC, it being understood that the CONTRACTOR, its agents, servants and employees
are as to the CDC wholly independent contractors, and that the CONTRACTOR's
obligations to the CDC are solely such as are prescribed by this Agreement.
3
9. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. The CONTRACTOR, in
the performance of the services to be provided herein, shall comply with all applicable
state and Federal statutes and regulations, and all applicable ordinances, rules and
regulations of the City of National City, now in force. The CONTRACTOR, and each of
its subcontractors, shall obtain and maintain a current City of National City business
license prior to and during performance of any work pursuant to this Agreement.
10. LICENSES, PERMITS, ETC. The CONTRACTOR represents and
covenants that it has all licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals of whatever
nature that are legally required to practice its profession. The CONTRACTOR
represents and covenants that the CONTRACTOR shall, at its sole cost and expense,
keep in effect at all times during the term of this Agreement, any license, permit or
approval which is legally required for the CONTRACTOR to practice its profession.
11. STANDARD OF CARE.
A. The CONTRACTOR, in performing any services under this
Agreement, shall perform in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by members of the CONTRACTOR's trade or profession currently
practicing under similar conditions and in similar locations. The CONTRACTOR shall
take all special precautions necessary to protect the CONTRACTOR's employees and
members of the public from risk of harm arising out of the nature of the work and/or the
conditions of the work site.
B. Unless disclosed in writing prior to the date of this
agreement, the CONTRACTOR warrants to the CDC that it is not now, nor has it for the
five (5) years preceding, been debarred by a governmental agency or involved in
debarment, arbitration or litigation proceedings concerning the CONTRACTOR's
professional performance, or the furnishing of materials or services relating thereto.
C. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for identifying any unique
products, treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success
of the project the CONTRACTOR has been retained to perform, within the time
requirements of the CDC, or, when no time is specified, then within a commercially
reasonable time. Accordingly, unless the CONTRACTOR has notified the CDC
otherwise, the CONTRACTOR warrants that all products, materials, processes or
treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the CDC are reasonably
commercially available. Any failure by the CONTRACTOR to use due diligence under
this sub -paragraph will render the CONTRACTOR liable to the CDC for any increased
costs that result from the CDC's later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time
frame specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.

12. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONTRACTOR shall
not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age,
race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin,
physical handicap, or medical condition. The CONTRACTOR will take positive action to
insure that applicants are employed without regard to their age, race, color, ancestry,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or
medical condition. Such action shall include but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising,
layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The CONTRACTOR agrees to post in conspicuous
places available to employees and applicants for employment any notices provided by
the CDC setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.
13. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The CDC may from time to time
communicate to the CONTRACTOR certain confidential information to enable the
CONTRACTOR to effectively perform the services to be provided herein. The
CONTRACTOR shall treat all such information as confidential and shall not disclose
any part thereof without the prior written consent of the CDC. The CONTRACTOR shall
limit the use and circulation of such information, even within its own organization, to the
extent necessary to perform the services to be provided herein. The foregoing
obligation of this Section 13, however, shall not apply to any part of the information that
(i) has been disclosed in publicly available sources of information; (ii) is, through no
fault of the CONTRACTOR, hereafter disclosed in publicly available sources of
information; (iii) is already in the possession of the CONTRACTOR without any
obligation of confidentiality; or (iv) has been or is hereafter rightfully disclosed to the
CONTRACTOR by a third party, but only to the extent that the use or disclosure thereof
has been or is rightfully authorized by that third party.
The CONTRACTOR shall not disclose any reports, recommendations,
conclusions or other results of the services or the existence of the subject matter of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the CDC. In its performance hereunder,
the CONTRACTOR shall comply with all legal obligations it may now or hereafter have
respecting the information or other property of any other person, firm or corporation.
CONTRACTOR shall be liable to CDC for any damages caused by breach
of this condition, pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.
14. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS. The CONTRACTOR
agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Community Development
Commission of the City of National City, its officers and employees, against and from
any and all liability, loss, damages to property, injuries to, or death of any person or
persons, and all claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, reasonable attorneys'
fees, and defense costs, of any kind or nature, including workers' compensation claims,
of or by anyone whomsoever, resulting from or arising out of the proportionate extent
caused by the CONTRACTOR's negligent performance of this Agreement.
5
15. WORKERS' COMPENSATION. The CONTRACTOR shall comply
with all of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Insurance and Safety Acts of
the State of California, the applicable provisions of Division 4 and 5 of the California
Government Code and all amendments thereto; and all similar state or Federal acts or
laws applicable; and shall indemnify, and hold harmless the CDC and its officers, and
employees from and against all claims, demands, payments, suits, actions,
proceedings and judgments of every nature and description, including reasonable
attorney's fees and defense costs presented, brought or recovered against the CDC or
its officers, employees or volunteers for, or on account of, any liability under any of said
acts which may be incurred by reason of any work to be performed by the
CONTRACTOR under this Agreement.
16. INSURANCE. The CONTRACTOR, at its sole cost and expense,
shall purchase and maintain, and shall require its subcontractors, when applicable, to
purchase and maintain throughout the term of this agreement, the following insurance
policies:
® A. If checked, Professional Liability Insurance (errors and
omissions) with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence.
B. Automobile insurance covering all bodily injury and property
damage incurred during the performance of this Agreement, with a minimum coverage
of $1,000,000 combined single limit per accident. Such automobile insurance shall

limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence, covering all bodily injury and
property damage arising out of its operation under this Agreement.
D. Workers' compensation insurance covering all of

E. The aforesaid policies shall constitute primary insurance as
to the CDC, its officers, employees, and volunteers so that any other policies held by
the CDC shall not contribute to any loss under said insurance. Said policies shall
provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to the CDC of cancellation or material
change.
F. Said policies, except for the professional liability and
worker's compensation policies, shall name the CDC and its officers, agents and
employees as additional insureds.

ment.

H. Any aggregate insurance limits must apply solely to this
I. Insurance shall be written with only California admitted

other sufficient proof that these insurance provisions have been complied with, are filed
with and approved by the CITY's Risk Manager. If the CONTRACTOR does not keep
all of such insurance policies in full force and effect at all times during the terms of this
Agreement, the CDC may elect to treat the failure to maintain the requisite insurance as
a breach of this Agreement and terminate the Agreement as provided herein.
17. LEGAL FEES. If any party brings a suit or action against the other
party arising from any breach of any of the covenants or agreements, or any
inaccuracies in any of the representations and warranties on the part of the other party
arising out of this Agreement, then in that event, the prevailing party in such action or
dispute, whether by final judgment or out -of -court settlement, shall be entitled to have
and recover of and from the other party all costs and expenses of suit, including
attorneys' fees.

suit shall not be considered in determining the amount of the judgment or award.
Attorney's fees to the prevailing party if other than the CDC shall, in addition, be limited
to the amount of attorney's fees incurred by the CDC in its prosecution or defense of
the action, irrespective of the actual amount of attorney's fees incurred by the prevailing
party.

to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, the parties agree first to try, in good faith, to
settle the dispute by mediation in San Diego, California, in accordance with the

2004, when the firm was selected through a Request for Qualifications process. Since
that time Harris has assisted the CDC with implementing its' facade improvement
program, street improvements and demolition projects; specific projects include:

• Highland Avenue plan check
• Demolition of buildings vacated by MSI
■ Las Palmas Park Mapping
• Diaz development parking
■ . Mapping of Pacific Steel site
• 23rd & Harrison improvements design
CDC staff desires to continue working with Harris & Associates because the firm has
been responsive to requests and has provided a wide range of services at cost-effective
rates. The proposed Agreement would retain Harris & Associates to continue providing
as -needed civil engineering support through the end of the current 2006-07 fiscal year.
Among the projects currently known to require civil engineering and or construction
management assistance for the 2006-07 fiscal year are:
■ Construction management/inspection for Highland Avenue
• Bid preparation and construction management for Commercial Facade Program
• Parking solutions for Highland Avenue
• Parcel map plan checking
• Project support for 23rd and Harrison Avenue Street improvements
• Bidding and management services for the Olson site demolition
CDC Staff recommends that the CDC Board adopt Resolution No. 2006-XX approving
an Agreement with Harris & Associates to provide as -needed civil engineering and
construction management services and authorize the Chairman to execute the
Agreement.

7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Both parties hereto in the
performance of this Agreement will be acting in an independent capacity and not as
agents, employees, partners or joint venturers with one another. Neither the
CONTRACTOR nor the CONTRACTOR'S employees are employees of the CDC and
are not entitled to any of the rights, benefits or privileges of the CDC's employees,
including but not limited to retirement, medical, unemployment, or workers'
compensation insurance.
This Agreement contemplates the personal services of the
CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR's employees, and it is recognized by the
parties that a substantial inducement to the CDC for entering into this Agreement was,
and is, the professional reputation and competence of the CONTRACTOR and its
employees. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be assigned by the
CONTRACTOR without the prior written consent of the CDC. Nothing herein contained
is intended to prevent the CONTRACTOR from employing or hiring as many employees
or subcontractors as the CONTRACTOR may deem necessary for the proper and
efficient performance of this Agreement. All agreements by CONTRACTOR with its
subcontractor(s) shall require the subcontractor to adhere to the applicable terms of this
Agreement.

shall have any control over the conduct of the CONTRACTOR, or any of the
CONTRACTOR's employees except as herein set forth, and the CONTRACTOR
expressly agrees not to represent that the CONTRACTOR or the CONTRACTOR's
agents, servants or employees are in any manner agents, servants or employees of the

obligations to the CDC are solely such as are prescribed by this Agreement.
3

the performance of the services to be provided herein, shall comply with all applicable
state and Federal statutes and regulations, and all applicable ordinances, rules and
regulations of the City of National City, now in force. The CONTRACTOR, and each of
its subcontractors, shall obtain and maintain a current City of National City business

Agreement, shall perform in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by members of the CONTRACTOR's trade or profession currently

members of the public from risk of harm arising out of the nature of the work and/or the
conditions of the work site.
B. Unless disclosed in writing prior to the date of this
agreement, the CONTRACTOR warrants to the CDC that it is not now, nor has it for the
five (5) years preceding, been debarred by a governmental agency or involved in
debarment, arbitration or litigation proceedings concerning the CONTRACTOR's
professional performance, or the furnishing of materials or services relating thereto.
C. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for identifying any unique
products, treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success
of the project the CONTRACTOR has been retained to perform, within the time
requirements of the CDC, or, when no time is specified, then within a commercially
reasonable time. Accordingly, unless the CONTRACTOR has notified the CDC
otherwise, the CONTRACTOR warrants that all products, materials, processes or
treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the CDC are reasonably
commercially available. Any failure by the CONTRACTOR to use due diligence under
this sub -paragraph will render the CONTRACTOR liable to the CDC for any increased
costs that result from the CDC's later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time
frame specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.
4
12. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONTRACTOR shall
not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age,
race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin,
physical handicap, or medical condition. The CONTRACTOR will take positive action to
insure that applicants are employed without regard to their age, race, color, ancestry,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or
medical condition. Such action shall include but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising,
layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The CONTRACTOR agrees to post in conspicuous
places available to employees and applicants for employment any notices provided by
the CDC setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.
13. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The CDC may from time to time
communicate to the CONTRACTOR certain confidential information to enable the
CONTRACTOR to effectively perform the services to be provided herein. The
CONTRACTOR shall treat all such information as confidential and shall not disclose
any part thereof without the prior written consent of the CDC. The CONTRACTOR shall
limit the use and circulation of such information, even within its own organization, to the
extent necessary to perform the services to be provided herein. The foregoing

fault of the CONTRACTOR, hereafter disclosed in publicly available sources of
information; (iii) is already in the possession of the CONTRACTOR without any
obligation of confidentiality; or (iv) has been or is hereafter rightfully disclosed to the
CONTRACTOR by a third party, but only to the extent that the use or disclosure thereof
has been or is rightfully authorized by that third party.
The CONTRACTOR shall not disclose any reports, recommendations,
conclusions or other results of the services or the existence of the subject matter of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the CDC. In its performance hereunder,
the CONTRACTOR shall comply with all legal obligations it may now or hereafter have
respecting the information or other property of any other person, firm or corporation.
CONTRACTOR shall be liable to CDC for any damages caused by breach
of this condition, pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.

agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Community Development
Commission of the City of National City, its officers and employees, against and from
any and all liability, Toss, damages to property, injuries to, or death of any person or
persons, and all claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, reasonable attorneys'
fees, and defense costs, of any kind or nature, including workers' compensation claims,
of or by anyone whomsoever, resulting from or arising out of the proportionate extent
caused by the CONTRACTOR's negligent performance of this Agreement.
5
15. WORKERS' COMPENSATION. The CONTRACTOR shall comply
with all of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Insurance and Safety Acts of
the State of California, the applicable provisions of Division 4 and 5 of the California
Government Code and all amendments thereto; and all similar state or Federal acts or
laws applicable; and shall indemnify, and hold harmless the CDC and its officers, and
employees from and against all claims, demands, payments, suits, actions,
proceedings and judgments of every nature and description, including reasonable
attorney's fees and defense costs presented, brought or recovered against the CDC or
its officers, employees or volunteers for, or on account of, any liability under any of said
acts which may be incurred by reason of any work to be performed by the
CONTRACTOR under this Agreement.
16. INSURANCE. The CONTRACTOR, at its sole cost and expense,
shall purchase and maintain, and shall require its subcontractors, when applicable, to
purchase and maintain throughout the term of this agreement, the following insurance
policies:
® A. If checked, Professional Liability Insurance (errors and
omissions) with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence.
B. Automobile insurance covering all bodily injury and property
damage incurred during the performance of this Agreement, with a minimum coverage
of $1,000,000 combined single limit per accident. Such automobile insurance shall
include non -owned vehicles.
C. Comprehensive general liability insurance, with minimum
limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence, covering all bodily injury and
property damage arising out of its operation under this Agreement.
D. Workers' compensation insurance covering all of

E. The aforesaid policies shall constitute primary insurance as
to the CDC, its officers, employees, and volunteers so that any other policies held by
the CDC shall not contribute to any loss under said insurance. Said policies shall
provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to the CDC of cancellation or material
change.
F. Said policies, except for the professional liability and
worker's compensation policies, shall name the CDC and its officers, agents and
employees as additional insureds.
G. If required insurance coverage is provided on a "claims
made" rather than "occurrence" form, the CONTRACTOR shall maintain such insurance
coverage for three years after expiration of the term (and any extensions) of this Agree-
ment.
6
H. Any aggregate insurance limits must apply solely to this
Agreement.
I. Insurance shall be written with only California admitted
companies which hold a current policy holder's alphabetic and financial size category
rating of not less than A VIII according to the current Best's Key Rating Guide, or a
company equal financial stability that is approved by the City's Risk Manager.
J. This Agreement shall not take effect until certificate(s) or
other sufficient proof that these insurance provisions have been complied with, are filed
with and approved by the CITY's Risk Manager. If the CONTRACTOR does not keep
all of such insurance policies in full force and effect at all times during the terms of this
