Consultant's presence or activities conducted on the Project (including the negligent,
reckless, and/or willful acts, errors and/or omissions of Consultant's 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.
9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to
require Consultant to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim to the extent
arising from the negligence, reckless or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties.
Nothing in 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.

design professional services under Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended
from time to time, such duties of Consultant to indemnify and defend shall only be to the

10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Consultant on an independent contractor basis
and Consultant is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of
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
PSOMAS Page 5
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.
11. COOPERATION
Consultant agrees to work closely and cooperate fully with City's designated
Project Administrator and any other agencies that may have jurisdiction or interest in the
Work to be performed. City agrees to cooperate with the Consultant on the Project.

regular basis regarding the status and progress of the Project, activities performed and
planned, and any meetings that have been scheduled or are desired.

of Work, Consultant shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the
term of this Agreement or for other periods as specified in this Agreement, policies of
insurance of the type, amounts, terms and conditions described in the Insurance
Requirements attached hereto as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by reference.
15. PROHIBITION AGAINST ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Except as specifically authorized under this Agreement, the Services to be
provided under this Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred contracted or
subcontracted out without the prior written approval of City. Any of the following shall

any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Consultant, or of the interest of any
general 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 Consultant. Control means fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting
power or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership

16. SUBCONTRACTING
The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal. 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

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

days after finalization of the Project.
18. OPINION OF COST
Any opinion of the construction cost prepared by Consultant represents the
Consultant's judgment as a design professional and is supplied for the general guidance
of City. Since Consultant has no control over the cost of labor and material, or over
competitive bidding or market conditions, Consultant does not guarantee the accuracy
of such opinions as compared to Consultant or contractor bids or actual cost to City.

communications that result from the Services in this Agreement, shall be kept
confidential unless City expressly authorizes in writing the release of information.

PSOMAS Page 8
22. WITHHOLDINGS

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.
23. 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 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.

Balancing the Natural and Built Environment

Michael J. Sinacori, Assistant City Engineer
City of Newport Beach, Department of Public Works
100 Civic Center Drive
Newport Beach, CA 92660
Subject: On -Call Professional Civil Engineering Services (RFP No. 22-51)
Dear Mr. Sinacori:
Psomas has a long history of working with the City of Newport Beach and we are grateful for the relationships we
have developed with your various staff members. The Psomas team has the background, resources, track record,
and relevant experience in successfully delivering projects to the City of Newport Beach and to numerous other
local cities with great success.
I, Psomas' Project Director, Joseph Boyle, PE, have more than 37 years of experience delivering services to public
agencies. The most important attributes I can offer the City are responsiveness, flexibility, and understanding of
technical and community issues. All of these attributes are the reason Psomas is a solid choice for the City. When
you select the Psomas team, you can expect the following benefits:
► Responsiveness: Being responsive to an on -call task order request is second nature to Psomas. As a firm, we
have more than 30 as -needed public agency contracts, and over 75% of those are with repeat clients. One of the
keys to successfully managing on -call contracts is Joe's commitment to responsiveness and meeting the City's
response time requirements.
► Flexibility: Demonstrating flexibility means being able to expand and contract to the needs of the City on
short notice. This can be difficult for many firms given they may not have the resources to deliver these types
of services, but not for Psomas. To augment staff named in this proposal, Psomas can draw upon additional
resources throughout the firm.
► Understanding the Newport Beach Community: The City has a reputation for being a vibrant place to live, work,
and visit. This reputation has come as a result of both staff and your consultants understanding the community
they are serving as well as a commitment to going above and beyond. The Psomas team understands the City's
goals for delivering projects on time and within budget and Psomas is the right firm to deliver innovative, timely
and cost-effective professional solutions to enhance the community and quality of life of your residents.
As a local Southern California firm, Psomas is in the position to respond to the City's needs quickly and with staff
who are qualified and team players. Should you have any questions, please contact me by phone at (714) 481-8060 or
by email at JoeBoyle@Psomas.com.
Sincerely,

Resources and Responsiveness
With a large contingent of local resources from which
to draw, the Psomas team can respond to whatever
project needs may arise. By managing a balanced client
workload among our staff, Psomas is able to respond
within 48 hours to meet with the City. This keeps the
project momentum moving forward so the Psomas
team is in place and ready to work within days of
receiving a Notice to Proceed.
As Psomas' main point of contact, Joe Boyle will
immediately assign one of our highly qualified task
order managers to the task order request based on
relevant experience and availability. Our managers
have the knowledge and skills required to navigate the
hurdles that may arise during the course of the project.
The Psomas team understands the importance of
meeting deadlines in a timely manner. We commit to
providing adequate staffing based on qualifications
and size of team needed for each task. Being a firm
with over 700 employees, Psomas is the "right size"
firm for this contract —big enough to handle any task
order, but adept enough to provide the City a personal
touch and responsiveness.
Project Delivery
Psomas' approach to project delivery involves a
combination of administrative or management steps
and procedures that ensure the project scope objectives
are met, on time and within budget. The elements
of the project management effort can generally be
identified as communication, project tracking,
schedule control, documentation and quality control.
Joe Boyle and all of our discipline leads have the project
management tools in place to ensure all aspects of the
delivery process are implemented, and the goals and
expectations of the City's staff are met.
Communication
Communication starts with scope negotiation, a
signed contract or work order, and a kick-off meeting,
and continues through the completion of the project.
Open lines of communication between Psomas and
the City and other project stakeholders are critical
for project success. Psomas takes great pride in our
communication protocols and abilities. Our ultimate
goal is to be an extension of City staff, and to ensure
the City's project manager is always up-to-date on the
status of each task, project schedule, and budget.
Several tools are used to ensure open lines of
communication, which can be scaled to fit the project.
Some of these tools include:
► Meet bi-weekly with the consultant team to
maintain momentum and to address conflicts that
may arise
► Schedule regular, monthly meetings with the City
and other affected stakeholders
Include progress reports with invoices to
document progress
Project Tracking
Psomas recognizes the need for tracking project
budgets along with progress in order to minimize the
risk of overruns. Each week, our project managers
receive project summary reports detailing hours
charged and costs for that particular period and for
the projects to date. On our monthly invoices, clients
are provided with the hours and costs charged to jobs
for that month, and a budget summary that shows the
amount spent to date and the amount remaining. Work
schedule modifications can be made to keep the project
on track.
Schedule Control
For each project, Psomas develops and maintains a
project schedule that identifies key milestones and
critical path items. The schedule is frequently updated
and shared with the project team and stakeholders. To
ensure the project remains on schedule, the following
strategies are used:
► Constant communication with the City's project
manager to identify critical items
► Quick response to design questions, field issues,
and other requests
► Commitment to respond within 24 hours
► Monitoring of the project schedule to compare
progress versus plan
► QA/QC verification of subconsultant products and
progress
► Sharing of design files, meeting notes, and other
documents on Psomas' ProjectWeb to ensure
all team members are using the most recent
information
Using these tools, Psomas is able to maintain
the project schedule by monitoring time -critical
items such as agency/stakeholder review periods,
utility relocations, right-of-way acquisitions, and
environmental permitting issues.
Documentation
The Psomas Team members have a wealth of
experience delivering projects for local agencies that
use local, state, and federal funds. Psomas' document
control management policies ensure files are complete
and accurate and meet the requirements of clients.
Our typical monthly project progress reports include
the status of deliverables, utility and outside -agency
efforts, cost and schedule snapshot and analysis, and
issues discussion and recommended resolution actions.
These monthly progress reports will be tailored to the
needs and desires of the City.
Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
Psomas has responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of the maps, plans, reports, calculations,
and construction cost estimates under its scope of
work and will meet that responsibility through the
implementation of a quality assurance plan. Our QA/QC
Program is based upon the belief that "Nothing is more
important than design quality."
The individuals responsible for our Quality Control
Program (QCP) are the Project Manager, Quality
Assurance Manager, and Quality Control Manager.
Our QCP will be implemented over the duration of the
project and is not merely a series of individual events/
plan checks at a few points on the schedule. There are
three major stages in our QCP:
► Quality Assurance — Are we doing the right
things?
► Quality Control — Are we doing things right?
► Post -Completion Quality Evaluation — What can
we do better?
Couple the three stages with a robust training
program, and you have a staff with the experience,
expertise, and the QA/QC tools to ensure a quality
product every time.
In the quality planning stage Psomas uses the kick-
off meeting to determine your QCP expectations. Our
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Managers will then
develop a work plan with our Project Manager based
upon the City's input, the schedule, and the budget.
The work plan identifies specific work products and
establishes a set of relevant measures and standards of
quality for each task that may result from this on -call
contract.
Once work on the project begins, we move on to
the quality control stage. In this stage we track the
execution of the work plan, review our designs and
work products, and communicate with the client
and team members. We provide project information
through our cloud -based file sharing tools, allowing
all team members to monitor the progress of our work
plan. In this stage, the Quality Assurance/Quality
Control Manager also facilitates detailed technical
reviews of our field work and design, and those of
all team members, to ensure they meet the quality
standards defined in the quality planning plan. This
review is continuous throughout the life of the project
and ensures a smooth process and buildable final
product with minimal change orders.
