recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant or its principals, officers, agents,
employees, vendors, suppliers, subconsultants, subcontractors, anyone employed
directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts they may be liable, or any or all of
them, and/or if it is subsequently determined that an employee of Consultant is not an
independent contractor.

Consultant to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole

this indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attorneys' fees in any action
on or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and
liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do
not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the
Consultant.

conducting the Work are under the control of Consultant, except to the extent they are
limited by statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No civil
service status or other right of employment shall accrue to Consultant or its employees.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Consultant or any
of Consultant's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Consultant
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Consultant is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Consultant as to the details
of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of control over Consultant shall
mean only that Consultant shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.
10.2 Consultant agrees and acknowledges that no individual performing

regular basis regarding the status and progress of the Project, activities performed and

of Work, Consultant shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term

of the type, amounts, terms and conditions described in the Insurance Requirements
attached hereto as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by reference.

partner or joint venturer or syndicate member or cotenant if Consultant is a partnership or
joint -venture or syndicate or co -tenancy, which shall result in changing the control of

percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -venture.
16. SUBCONTRACTING
The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A. Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for all acts and
omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual
relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the
part of City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor
other than as otherwise required by law. City is an intended beneficiary of any Work
performed by the subcontractor for purposes of establishing a duty of care between the
subcontractor and City. Except as specifically authorized herein, the Services to be
provided under this Agreement shall not be otherwise assigned, transferred, contracted
or subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City.

produced, including but not limited to, websites, blogs, social media accounts and
applications (hereinafter "Documents"), prepared or caused to be prepared by Consultant,
its officers, employees, agents and subcontractors, in the course of implementing this
Agreement, shall become the exclusive property of City, and City shall have the sole right
to use such materials in its discretion without further compensation to Consultant or any
other party. Additionally, all material posted in cyberspace by Consultant, its officers,
employees, agents and subcontractors, in the course of implementing this Agreement,

and any use of incomplete Documents without specific written authorization from
Consultant will be at City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant. Further, any and
all liability arising out of changes made to Consultant's deliverables under this Agreement
by City or persons other than Consultant is waived against Consultant, and City assumes
Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. Page 6

copies of such records and invoices during regular business hours. Consultant shall allow
inspection of all Work, data, Documents, proceedings and activities related to the
Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Consultant
under this Agreement.
21. WITHHOLDINGS
City may withhold payment to Consultant of any disputed sums until satisfaction of
the dispute with respect to such payment. Such withholding shall not be deemed to
constitute a failure to pay according to the terms of this Agreement. Consultant shall not
discontinue Work as a result of such withholding. Consultant shall have an immediate
right to appeal to the City Manager or designee with respect to such disputed sums.
Consultant shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of return
that City earned on its investments during the time period, from the date of withholding of
any amounts found to have been improperly withheld.
22. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
In the event of errors or omissions that are due to the negligence or professional
inexperience of Consultant which result in expense to City greater than what would have
Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. Page 7
resulted if there were not errors or omissions in the Work accomplished by Consultant,
the additional design, construction and/or restoration expense shall be borne by
Consultant. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit City's rights under the law or any
other sections of this Agreement.
23. CITY'S RIGHT TO EMPLOY OTHER CONSULTANTS
City reserves the right to employ other Consultants in connection with the Project.
24. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

prohibit such persons from making, or participating in making, decisions that will
foreseeably financially affect such interest.
24.2 If subject to the Act and/or Government Code §§ 1090 et seq., Consultant
shall conform to all requirements therein. Failure to do so constitutes a material breach
and is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by City. Consultant shall
indemnify and hold harmless City for any and all claims for damages resulting from
Consultant's violation of this Section.

PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
Our team becomes familiar with the requirements of a
public agency before beginning a review and continually
monitors trends and legislation in order to advise the City on
ordinances and standard practices to consider for adoption.
BV has extensive public sector experience, which assures
that public interests are fully protected. We understand
that careful consideration of issues and impacts is needed
in addition to technical expertise. We have devoted a great
deal of time over the years to refining our approach and
developing documentation to assist our clients and train our
personnel to ensure highly efficient plan review procedures.
BV will work to ensure that submittals are properly
coordinated and tracked by following an established
internal plan check coordination process in which each plan
received for review is entered into our ProTrack database,
processed and returned on time to the client. Our plan
tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal
throughout the review process and maintain accurate and
comprehensive records for each submittal. To accomplish
this we:
• Screen and log each application to assure that they are
routed to all plan reviewers in a timely manner.
• Submittals are reviewed for compliance with all
ordinances. The log serves as a tracking device to
assure turnaround times and completeness of the
review.
• Plan reviews will be done in accordance with local,
state and federal regulations with which local
jurisdictions are mandated to enforce as well as all
codes and ordinances in effect by adoption at the
time of plan review. Preliminary consultations will
be provided to the applicant upon request, to assist
and guide them in the design and plans preparation
process.
• Information shown on each permit application
is verified. Construction valuation is based on
information provided by the City of Newport Beach and
compared to estimates provided by the applicant.
• Provide a thorough architectural and structural review
of design drawings and details for compliance with
the California Building Code architectural provisions,
including provisions for safety glazing, building security
and noise insulation performance standards, to name a
few. These reviews can also be performed on revisions
to plans which have previously been approved for
permit issuance.
• Preparation of a review letter report
Plan review management.
• BV assures that corrections are handled as quickly and
as clearly as possible. Our goal is to help the applicant
through the plan review process. All corrections are
identified based on compliance with specified codes
and regulations.
Generally, corrections are identified in two ways. Notes are
made on plans during electronic review or on hard copy
plans if appropriate and a correction sheet is generated
detailing what items need to be addressed before plans can
be approved. The City shall approve the development of any
customized correction sheets. Correction sheets for specific
projects shall be forwarded to the City along with a cover
memo containing at least the following:
• The date(s) plans were received and reviewed
• The date(s) the applicant. was notified of completed
plan reviews
• The name and telephone number of the applicant
During the plan review process, BV is prepared to meet
with the applicant or architect/engineer, City employees or
consultants at any time. Telephone discussions or meetings
at project sites are welcomed to assure that any plan review
issues are handled efficiently. We propose to meet at the
offices of the building and safety division or at a particular
project site. Our goal is to issue approved plans as quickly as
possible but in full compliance with laws, codes, ordinances
and regulations. Upon completion of the plan review, the
following information package is prepared and logged as a
minimum:
• Completed plan check documents including sign -offs
• Transmittal letter documenting any conditions
associated with issuance of a permit, if any
• Marked up plan review documents
• Two sets of approved building plans
• Backup documents and reports
• Documents provided in desired City format
Transmittal of Plans and Correction Lists
BV assumes responsibility for the pickup and return of plans.
All plans shall be picked up from the City offices within
24 hours of notification. Should the volume of work be
sufficient, we propose to establish regular pick up of plans
on a consistent basis. We will also utilize shipping courier, at
no additional cost to the City. Upon completion of each plan
review, we will forward a copy of the correction list to both
42
the City and the applicant, by email. When corrected plans
are resubmitted, the previous procedure will be followed
or the applicant may schedule an office visit to go over
any corrections in person. When plans are completed they
are stamped, signed and forwarded by BV personnel. Our
transmittal forms will be customized for the City of Newport
Beach's.
Plan Review Turnaround Times
BV provides plan review activities on a fast -track basis
to reduce the impact on project contraction schedules.
Turnaround times for each submittal relate to the size
and nature of the submittal and impact on the project
construction schedule. To reduce turn around times for
plan check, the firm uses electronic submittals, phased
submittals, conference calling, video-conferencing, and
visits by plan check staff to design offices of the engineer or
architect.
BV has built long-term partnerships with many agencies and
municipalities. The firm understands accuracy, efficiency,
and integrity in all aspects of professional services is
required. Testimony to BV's professional excellence is the
fact it has a large number of repeat clients and client referrals.
Because of the firm's large pool of accessible resources it is
able to assemble experienced personnel in order to assist
with project schedule recovery when necessary. BV also
accommodates preliminary reviews to facilitate fast tracked
or accelerated projects. This aids with timely turnaround
and creates good public relations. The firm's staff makes
recommendations for resolutions if requested. The firm also
meets with agencies, City staff, and citizens, as needed, to
discuss its findings.
Digital Plan Check eplansoft
Digital plan check
uses a software which g Q P Q S t
presents customers with
a convenient alternative solution to printing and delivering
paper plans to City offices at zero cost. This modern solution
has become especially valuable as municipalities seek to
continue service delivery to their communities while focusing
on health and safety during the COVID-19 crisis.
BV provides an alternative solution to traditional plan
checking. By utilizing GoPost, BlueBeam, Adobe Acrobat,
or other similar software, our plan reviewers can quickly
and accurately review plans for compliance with applicable
codes. Plans are submitted as PDF files via a secure and
confidential FTP site. These plans are then reviewed by our
personnel who are able to place comments and redlines
directly on the plans, corresponding to areas needing
revisions.
Redlined plans with comments are then forwarded to, or
placed on the secure FTP site for the designers, engineers,
and architects. The City also has access to the FTP site. Plans
can then be revised and resubmitted via the same method
described. If all items were resolved, hard copy plans are
sent to BV for approval stamps and signatures.
Clients who have a plan review going through the online
process are able to see where their plans are in the review
process, ask questions, receive comments, submit updates,
and more. Bluebeam GoPost accepts multiple file types,
from AutoCAD to PDFs, Word, and more. Digital plan check
has numerous advantages including, but not limited to, the
following:
• Eliminate the need to physically print and carry
plans to the City - Upload plans anytime from
anywhere
• Know project status at all times - Check where plans
are and find out when reviews are completed.
• Use the GoPost online portal to communicate with
the review team - Ask and answer questions; make
changes.
• Reduce printing and courier costs - Checklist and
plan markup downloads make it easy to perform
corrections and resubmit documents online.
Electronic plan submittal and commenting allows for
economical movement of plans and quick turnaround. Plans
with comments can be viewed and discussed as needed f,
resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
BV has successfully implemented and utilized digital plan
review in over 60 federal, state, and local agencies for
multiple years.
BUILDING INSPECTION
BV inspectors are iCC certified and have extensive experience
in the construction trades as well. Fast -track projects may
be built into small phases based on incremental design
and fabrication steps. In such cases, the firm's inspection
team keeps daily logs to track corrections and plan review
changes.
BV's inspection team also has the capacity to provide
on -call building inspection services to cover personnel
vacation time, peak work loads, specialized inspection
activities, and any other situations which may arise. These
activities may include next -day inspections and same -day
response to important or urgent requests. BV's building
inspection services can be adjusted to provide a high level of
coordination specifically suited to the design -build concept.
BV will provide the City with ICC certified personnel to
provide the following services:
43
• Read and study project specifications, plans, and
drawings to become familiar with project prior to
inspection, ensuring structural or architectural changes
have been stamped as approved by appropriate
authority and recognizing the need for and requiring
plan checks for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical
code requirements.
• Perform and document inspections on construction
projects to determine all aspects of the project such
as foundations, building, electrical, plumbing, and
mechanical systems conform to the applicable building
codes, zoning ordinances, energy conservation, and
disabled access requirements including known local,
city, state, and federal requirements.
• Review plans for building construction, plumbing,
electrical, and mechanical details prior to making
inspection.
• Bring to the attention of the City for approval of certain
changes in building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical,
and related work consistent with code and ordinance
requirements.
• Participate in reviews with fire, health, and other
government agency inspectors & owners.
• Maintain a record of non -complying items and follow
up to resolution of such items.
• Upon request, the firm will inspect existing buildings for
substandard, unsafe conditions.
Virtual Inspections
BV is able to conduct virtual, no -contact field inspections in
an effort to continue progress at as many active jobsites as
possible for both new and existing clients. Using interactive
technology, our building inspector will participate in a live
session with the contractor to perform the inspection(s)
remotely through the use of a mobile device. Our goal is
to allow construction to progress while maintaining a safe
environment for all involved through social separation.
The firm strongly believes in the long term value of these
digital platforms and in their potential to change how
inspection services are executed. The circumstances faced
by society will be a catalyst to help drive the adoption of this
new service, but once the ease of use and value creation is
experienced first-hand BV believes itwill become a standard
component of inspection programs.
BV's remote inspection services ensure the firm can keep its
employees and City staff safe by eliminating direct contact
and adhering to social distancing best practices and keep
critical tasks moving forward in the face of travel and
construction site access restrictions.

Budget Controls and Billing Related f
I
Quality Assurance- FLEX
ex
Budget control is achieved by closely
monitoring work assignment labor and • •
direct expenses. Work reports must be
completed by each individual and the labor hours must be
approved by the project manager before being charged to
The City of Newport Beach. Similarly, expense reports and
other direct expenses must be approved by the project
manager prior to entering the cost data system.
44
To ensure uptimal administration of the main functionalities
of contract management and the facilitation of billing related
quality assurance BV utilizes FLEX, a software developed by
J.D. Edwards World Solution Company. FLEX is a reference
repository which is comprised of all billing and contractual
information (invoices, work assignments, expenses, labor
reports, project reports, etc.). This state of the art system
assists BV in implementing and maintaining a number of
budget and cost control processes which:
Ensures data integrity and allows for a flexible and
secure billing process
Enhances billing efficiency and productivity
Minimizes revenue leakage by monitoring its sources
through control reports
FLEX ensures contract and budget control via standardized
features and alignment of project information in real time.
Additionally, the system is designed to promote contract
follow up from project outset to closing which helps to
establish and maintain optimal communication.
Project Management and Schedule Controls - Quickbase
Protrack
Work assignment schedules will be managed on several
levels. The project manager will maintain regular contact
with the City manager to communicate the project status and
progress on deliverables. In addition, an internal schedule
including critical milestones and deliverable due dates will
be established prior to initiating the task work. This allows
ample time for editorial and technical review, changes, and
assurance in schedule compliance.
In order to efficiently and effectively track project workflow
BV employs Protrack, a quality assurance software solution
created by Quickbase. This custorn-built program was
developed specifically to meet the needs of the firm and
enhance its project management capabilities in service to its
clients. Protrack monitors numerous pieces of project data
in real time including, but not limited to, project schedule
status, active projects by office, project type, number of
active projects per client, weekly number of new projects
initiated, and much more. The program's dashboard
allows users to generate reports which can provide an
overall snapshot of BV's current activities or can be filtered
to present precise details regarding a specific project or
client. The crucial information monitored in Protrack not
only aids in maintaining schedules and project turnaround
times but also gives the firm the capacity to make decisive
course corrections which ensure deliverables of the highest
caliber and complete customer satisfaction. Furthermore,
Protrack is designed to work collaboratively with BV's billing
and invoicing software, FLEX, to enable the consistent
completion of projects on -time and on -budget.
CARE PROGRAM — A PROVEN, FORMALIZED &INTEGRATED PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
The plan review process we follow for efficient completion of concurrent task management is shown in the flowchart below
and managed through our CARE Program, a formalized and integrated process whereby Coordination, Analytical, Review, and
Expert management/quality control functions are consistently implemented on each and every project. We will implement a
comprehensive program based on best practices to validate that each and every review is thorough, accurate, consistent, and
timely. This system's success is based on thousands of hours of practical, real -world experience by our dedicated personnel
and their unique ability to interact quickly and efficiently with your staff. The specific roles of each of our CARE elements
include:
Coordinator:
Our clerical personnel will handle various administrative functions, such as logging information (project tracking, time
budgeting), managing project controls, maintaining and distributing communications, reviewing agendas and ordinance
issues, and fielding calls on project status. The Coordinator is the first line of contact for each project submittal.
Analyst:
Our analysts will review submittals, title sheets, and non -design items; maintain files; monitor due dates; monitor contract
budget and status tracking reports; and coordinate invoicing. Our analysts also maximize and "right place" personnel
resources to meetturnaround times in a quality manner. When assigning resubmittals to staff, our Analyst ensures consistency
by passing the project to the same reviewer that performed the previous reviews. Reassignments are done when unforeseen
circumstances dictate.
Reviewer:
Our experienced building plan reviewers will routinely review agency standards, ordinances, guidelines, and checklists; create
comments letters; coordinate project return with the coordinator; attend review meetings; and communicate questions/
solutions to project stakeholders. Because of our depth of resources and project tools (checklists, corrections letters, etc),
reassigned projects can be reviewed without missing deadlines or causing unnecessary rechecks.
Expert:
BV experts will provide the final quality assurance review of applicable plans, studies, and reports in accordance with all
accepted engineering, building codes of different disciplines, Subdivision Map Act, and industry professional practices. They
will comply with the applicable regulations; visit the client contact regularly; monitor project progress with the reviewer:
disseminate project/agency information to the team; train team members; peer review con nments letters; and communicate
questions/solutions to stakeholders. Additionally, Experts provide quality assurance reviews to each project which minimizes
the number of resubmittals.

waivers from each of its subconsultants.
B. Additional Insured Status. All liability policies including general liability,

including professional liability, shall provide or be endorsed to provide that

following:
Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. Page C-2
A. Evidence of Insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to
City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a
waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers' compensation and other
endorsements as specified herein for each coverage. Insurance certificates
and endorsement must be approved by City's Risk Manager prior to
commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be
kept on file with City at all times during the term of this Agreement. The
certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by
a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. At least
fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of
insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or
extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or
reduced, Consultant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice
of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the City evidence of
insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has
been provided through another insurance company or companies. City
reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required
insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving Consultant sixty (60) calendar days' advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate
Consultant's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Consultant agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Consultant enters into
contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review. Failure
of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any liability on
City, or its employees. Consultant shall require and verify that all
subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Consultant shall ensure that City is an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage,
subcontractors shall provide coverage with a format at least as broad as CG
20 38 04 13.
D. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. Consultant acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
E. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or
limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage,
limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided
by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for
purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not
intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of
other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher
Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. Page C-3
limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be
entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any
available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of
insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
F. Self -insured Retentions. Any self -insured retentions must be declared to
and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self -insured
retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-
insurance will not be considered to comply with these requirements unless
approved by City.
G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance. If Consultant or any subconsultant fails
to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then City shall have
the right but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance, to terminate this
Agreement, or to suspend Consultant's right to proceed until proper
evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid by City shall, at City's
sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to Consultant or reimbursed
by Consultant upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice
of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant's
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve
coverage under any of the required liability policies. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to
monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
City.
Consultant's Insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the
Work.
