BY AND BETWEEN
THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AND
RORE, INCORPORATED
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this 1st day of July, 2007, by and
between the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NATIONAL CITY, a municipal corporation (the "CDC"), and RORE, Incorporated (the
"CONTRACTOR").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the CDC desires to employ a CONTRACTOR to provide on -
call environmental consulting services for the fiscal years 2007-2008 and 2008-2009.
WHEREAS, the CDC has determined that the CONTRACTOR is
qualified by experience and ability to perform the services desired by the CDC, and the
CONTRACTOR is willing to perform such services.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO DO MUTUALLY AGREE
AS FOLLOWS:
1. ENGAGEMENT OF CONTRACTOR. The CDC hereby agrees to
engage the CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to perform the
services hereinafter set forth in accordance with all terms and conditions contained
herein.
The CONTRACTOR represents that all services required hereunder will
be performed directly by the CONTRACTOR or under direct supervision of the
CONTRACTOR.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES. The CONTRACTOR will perform services
as set forth in the attached Exhibit A.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all research and reviews
related to the work and shall not rely on personnel of the CDC for such services, except
as authorized in advance by the CDC. The CONTRACTOR shall appear at meetings
cited in Exhibit A to keep staff and the Community Development Commission advised
of the progress on the project.
The CDC may unilaterally, or upon request from the CONTRACTOR, from time
to time reduce or increase the Scope of Services to be performed by the
CONTRACTOR under this Agreement. Upon doing so, the CDC and the
Revised May 2007
CONTRACTOR agree to meet in good faith and confer for the purpose of negotiating a
corresponding reduction or increase in the compensation associated with said change
in services, not to exceed a factor of 10% 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. Gita Murthy,
Ph.D. thereby is designated as the Project Director for the CONTRACTOR.
4. COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT. The compensation for the
CONTRACTOR shall be based on monthly billings covering actual work performed.
Billings shall include labor classifications, respective rates, hours worked and also
materials, if any. The total cost for all work described in Exhibit A shall not exceed
$250,000 with the understanding that each separate Project to be completed by
CONTRACTOR will be on a time and materials basis, as described in Exhibit B, with a
Project budget having received prior written authorization from the Redevelopment
Projects Manager prior to any work being conducted. On call services that cannot be
deemed a Project, for example, general inquiries, shall not exceed $10,000 without
prior written authorization from the Executive Director. Monthly invoices will be
processed for payment and remitted within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice,
provided that work is accomplished consistent with Exhibit B as determined by the
CDC.
The CONTRACTOR shall maintain all books, documents, papers,
employee time sheets, accounting records, and other evidence pertaining to costs
incurred and shall make such materials available at its office at all reasonable times
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 Agreement shall be in effect
from the date of authorization through June 30, 2009.
6. DISPOSITION AND OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS. The
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
2 Revised May 2007
unreasonably withheld. The CONTRACTOR shall, upon request of the CDC, execute
any further document(s) necessary to further effectuate this waiver and disclaimer.
The CONTRACTOR agrees that the CDC may use, reuse, alter,
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
expressly waives and disclaims any residual rights granted to it by Civil Code Sections
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 employee 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 CONTRAC-
TOR's obligations to the CDC are solely such as are prescribed by this Agreement.
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
3 Revised May 2007
regulations of the City of National City, whether now in force or subsequently enacted.
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. UCENSES, 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
4 Revised May 2007
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 CONTRACTOR's
negligent performance of this Agreement.
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
5 Revised May 2007
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 CONSULTANT's
employees.
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.
H. Any aggregate insurance limits must apply solely to this Agree-
ment.
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 CDC'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 CDC'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
6 Revised May 2007
and recover of and from the other party all costs and expenses of suit, including
attorneys' fees.
For purposes of determining who is to be considered the prevailing party,
it is stipulated that attorney's fees incurred in the prosecution or defense of the action or
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 attomey'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.
18. MEDIATION/ARBITRATION. If a dispute arises out of or relates
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
Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") before
resorting to arbitration. The costs of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties.
Any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or breach thereof,
which is not resolved by mediation shall be settled by arbitration in San Diego,
California, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA then
existing. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive upon the parties, and a
judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject
matter of the controversy. The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the
parties to the arbitration, provided that each party shall pay for and bear the costs of its
own experts, evidence and attorneys' fees, except that the arbitrator may assess such
expenses or any part thereof against a specified party as part of the arbitration award.

EXPLANATION In April and May of 2005, CDC staff conducted a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) process to select on call environment consultants for fiscal years 2005-2006 and 2006-
2007. The process was conducted to diversify and add to the services being provided to the
CDC exclusively by Environmental Business Solutions (EBS) since 1999. The Request for
Proposals sought "as needed" environmental consulting services to the Community
Development Commission (CDC) to facilitate redevelopment of the National City
Redevelopment.
PLEASE SEE BACKGROUND REPORT
Environmental Review Not applicable.
Financial Statement The 2007-2009 CDC Budget anticipates expenses up to $1 million for
environmental studies, site remediation and oversight for various sites within the National City
Redevelopment Project. Although it is impossible to predict how much environmental
consulting will be requested during the upcoming fiscal year, the contract contains a "not to
exceed" amount of $250,000 for services from the effective date until June 30, 2007, with the
same stipulation given to three (3) additional environmental consulting firms. Funding is
budgeted by project and is primarily paid for through developer deposits and/or
reimbursements.
