(the "CONTRACTOR"). RECITALS WHEREAS, the CDC desires to employ a CONTRACTOR to provide as - needed economic and planning consulting services. 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 total cost for all work described in Exhibit A shall not exceed $50,000 with the understanding that each separate Project to be completed by CONTRACTOR will be on a time and materials basis, as described in Exhibit A, 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 A 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

EPS has been very pleased with the consulting experience with the CDC in the context of the Westside Specific Plan and appreciates the effort the City and its redevelopment agency have applied to improve the quality of life for National City's residents and businesses. This letter sets forth six key areas of service I believe EPS can very effectively deliver. I have also attached to this letter a specialized set of qualifications that will provide you with a more comprehensive view of services provided, project experience, personnel, client base, and billing rates. As you know, EPS is a nationally known real estate economics consulting firm with a broad -based practice in the economics of real estate, including market and financial feasibility, urban redevelopment and revitalization strategies, developer solicitation, affordable housing, public finance, and public/private transaction negotiations. With more than 50 professional staff and offices in Berkeley, Sacramento, and Denver, EPS has worked successfully with public- and private -sector clients throughout the western United States and has established a reputation for both rigor and creativity. Primarily from the Berkeley and Sacramento offices, EPS has expanded its portfolio of Southern California projects over the past 25 years, establishing a presence through representation of numerous public- and private -sector clients. Most of these projects have involved complex redevelopment challenges, including EPS's work with the Ports of Los Angeles and San Diego in the redevelopment of several waterfront areas. EPS understands port -related real estate and the legal perspectives related to land use, leasing, and other policies and restrictions affecting prospects for various land uses. In addition to its sizable redevelopment practice, EPS is a leader in the Western U.S. in the disposition and development of large-scale public assets. EPS, with its broad expertise across a multitude of practice areas, excels in these areas based on recognition of key factors driving public- and private -sector policy decisions and from the seamless integration of market information, pro forma feasibility analysis, fiscal and tax - increment analysis, and public finance practice areas. EPS's approach carefully considers project context as a SACRAMENTO 2150 Ricer Plaza Drive, Suite 400 phone: 916-649-8010 Sacramento, CA 95933 fax: 916-649-2070 www.epsys.com BERKELEY DENVER phone: 510-841-9190 phone: 303-623-3557 fax: 510-841-9208 fax: 303-623-9049 EXHIBIT "A" Patricia Beard December 30, 2008 Page 2 basis for assessing competitive strengths and weaknesses, resulting in specific implementation measures delivering public and private returns on investment commensurate with respective risks and responsibilities. EPS is prepared to work on an "on -call" basis with the City and the CDC, coordinating efforts to deliver the right mix of skills to assist you in realizing the improvement of National City. Further information regarding EPS's individual roles and capabilities, fee structure, and project experience is provided in the attached Statement of Qualifications. Proposed Scope of Services EPS proposes to provide on -call economic consulting services across six major areas. In the context of public/private development, these six categories may be combined, such as would be the case with the reuse or improvement of publicly owned assets. Moreover, the conceptualization and implementation of redevelopment concepts will likely involve collaborations with planning, engineering, and other experts, either brought in by EPS, or under direct contract with the City or the CDC. The six major areas of economic analysis offered by EPS are listed below: 1. Market Analysis. EPS is available to provide market analysis services pertaining to a variety of residential, commercial, and mixed use projects. Examples might include further evaluation of mixed use development concepts in transit -oriented development nodes, evaluation of market support for project proposals in the Westside Specific Plan, evaluation of alternative project densities, and evaluation of assessed value growth in specific redevelopment project areas. Other market analysis tasks may pertain to waterfront and golf course redevelopment projects the City and the CDC may be interested in exploring. EPS has direct experience evaluating market potential on publicly owned lands, including extensive knowledge and experience of the effects and use of ground leases in various market contexts, as well as use restrictions and other factors (e.g., contamination) that can directly affect market viability. 2. Financial Cash Flow Analysis. EPS proposes to assist the City as needed with financial due diligence of various development projects. EPS's pro forma analyses typically leverage market analysis to test the sensitivity of various project prototypes to changes in one or more key variables (absorption rates, capitalization rates, etc.) and can be presented as either static (snapshot) or time series discounted cash flow analyses. Moreover, the frame of reference for EPS's pro forma analyses may be project -level (e.g., a multi -story mixed use building or group of buildings) or district -level (e.g., master development pro forma incorporating financing of backbone infrastructure). EPS has experience with using these tools in a variety of contexts, including detailed evaluation of golf course reuse and improvement projects, waterfront development, brownfield projects, and infili catalyst projects, including those having transit -oriented development potential. EPS would propose incorporating team members from prior work in National City, such as GDeS (Joe DeCredico) or MMS Design Group (Greg Mattson), as necessary to generate key planning and engineering assumptions supporting EPS's financial analysis. 3. Fiscal Impact and Tax -Increment Projections. EPS proposes to assist the City and the CDC in the evaluation of project impacts on General Fund and Redevelopment Agency budgets. EPS tracks evolving legislative initiatives and maintains a state-of-the-art fiscal modeling framework, which will facilitate EPS's advise to City decision makers regarding the ability to provide various types and levels of services to proposed projects given their revenue -generation potential. For redevelopment projects, EPS proposes to evaluate potential assessed -value growth based on market values and Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. m:\Proposals\18000I18648 National City On -Call Tech Support \ 18648 EPS Qualifications 12-30-0811oc EXHIBIT "A" Patricia Beard December 30, 2008 Page 3 absorption rates and to evaluate potential net tax -increment and related tax -allocation bonding capacity. This information can be applied, in the context of market and pro forma information, to determine whether agency assistance to key projects can "tip the balance" toward feasibility to create a catalytic effect in a redevelopment area. In the case of publicly owned properties, EPS proposes to evaluate possessory interest taxes from private leaseholds on public lands as part of this analysis, as appropriate. 4. Capital and Operations Funding Strategies. EPS has wide-ranging experience and knowledge of the full range of public and private financing tools that can be leveraged to build and maintain critical infrastructure serving the community. In addition to tax allocation bonds, as noted above, EPS can assist the City in the evaluation and use of various land -secured financing tools (e.g., Mello -Roos Community Facility Districts and Assessment Districts), Certificates of Participation, development impact fees, and other resources (including grants) that can be used to assemble required capital funding. After development, ongoing infrastructure and parks maintenance is critical to maintaining a high quality of life for local residents and employees. In conjunction with the fiscal analysis referenced above, EPS can advise the City on General Fund impact mitigation strategies that provide sufficient annual revenue while ensuring market viability. Based on extensive experience assembling financial strategies for public agencies, EPS can advise on innovative financing and related ground leasing techniques that improve prospects for obtaining private debt and equity needed to implement major projects. 5. Economic Impact Analysis. As needed, EPS can provide thoughtful and accurate evaluations of the regional economic impacts of public and private investment. Using the Implan modeling framework, EPS can evaluate the regional and local economic ripple effect of infrastructure development, waterfront development concepts, and other potential investments. In addition, EPS can leverage its expertise in regional economics to assist the City in formulating economic development strategies that recognize promising industry clusters or other assets based on a careful assessment of National City's competitive position in the regional economy. 6. Public/Private Development. EPS proposes to assist the City in the evaluation, structure, and negotiation of public/private development concepts that will be critical to carrying out the City's vision for the future, potentially pertaining to the Westside Specific Plan, the waterfront, and other strategic areas. The following approach is proposed (to be modified according to specific project circumstances): a. Developer Selection. The CDC may call on EPS to assist in reviewing and selecting developer proposals through due diligence to methodically document and compare the physical, regulatory, organizational, and financial attributes of each proposal. For this service, EPS may assist in reviewing development team qualifications, including responsiveness to market conditions and implementation considerations, and key financial attributes including pro forma assumptions and methodology, as well as any identified need for public financing. EPS may develop a pro forma template as part of this process to evaluate the market and financial feasibility of each proposal. The pro forma template would be developed for each candidate developer's use in providing critical project information and projections of performance. This would provide the CDC with an assessment of a developer's initial read of market conditions, project risks, development strategies, and financial return requirements. Based on the developer responses to issues referenced above, and based on the weighting system agreed on by EPS and CDC staff, responses would be Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. m:\Proposals\18000\18648 National City On -Call Tech Support \ 18648 EPS Qualifications 12-30-08.doc EXHIBIT "A" Patricia Beard December 30, 2008 Page 4 arrayed in a matrix used to compare and contrast responses. EPS will help the CDC formulate a set of follow-up questions requesting clarification and additional information and provide support to CDC staff in preparing for, directing, and evaluating interviews with potential developers. Interview preparation tasks will include drafting questions through the identification of key issues, which may differentiate development teams or projects and reveal teams' approaches to working with public partners. In addition, EPS can be available for these: i. Request and assess balance sheets and income statements (cash and accrual) over a defined period from each developer. This information will also be integrated in the comparative analysis. ii. Perform reference checks relative to all finalist developers during the process. iii. Perform any necessary due diligence or site visits to further inform proposal feasibility and the pro forma analysis. Final selection would be based on a technical memorandum prepared by EPS that lays out the financial capabilities of each developer, as well as the particular strengths and weaknesses of each proposed plan from a market and financial perspective. EN would meet with CDC staff to review the memorandum and findings and to present the results to the Agency Board and other policy makers. b. Negotiation Support. EN regularly participates in negotiations on behalf of public- and private -sector clients, helping to define key transaction issues and providing technical analyses to clarify the trade offs for each side. The primary goals are always to ensure that the "terms and conditions" are acceptable and consistent with industry norms, while reflecting specific recognition of risks and opportunities inherent in a given project. The key efforts associated with this service may include these: i. Background Data and Analysis. EPS will use any pervious background research and analysis from the due diligence efforts described above to determine the market and financial implications of proposed terms and conditions. EPS's work in this regard may require focused market and financial analysis, as well as case studies, related to the evaluation of specific terms and conditions. ii. Strategic Analysis and Advice. Based on the analysis conducted above and additional research as necessary, EPS will provide strategic advice as to the acceptability of, and potential modifications to, the proposed terms and conditions. Specifically, EPS can assist in formulating alternative deal points designed to be acceptable and beneficial to both parties. Negotiation support would include analysis of any financial assistance requests made by the selected developer. EN will use pro forma analysis conducted in an open, collaborative process with CDC staff. The purpose would be to determine the amount of assistance, if any, required for projects to be financially viable. EPS will pay close attention to the use of appropriate definitions of development feasibility, including measures such as internal rate of return, return on equity, and equity and financing requirements. The analysis will indicate the need, if any, for public financing mechanisms and other sources of funding and incentives to help assure that development occurs.

AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE A`--.1.' ACORD 25-S (7/97) CBettencourt 10858361 ACORD CORPORATION 1988 (7) (6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured. However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part: (a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. (b) Primary And Non -Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance. Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured. When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers. BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of: (1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and (2) The total of all deductible and self - insured amounts under all that other insurance. We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part. c. Method Of Sharing If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. 8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.
