8. STANDARD OF CARE
8.1 All of the Services shall be performed by Consultant or under Consultant's
supervision. Consultant represents that it possesses the professional and technical
personnel required to perform the Services required by this Agreement, and that it will

and with the ordinary degree of skill and care that would be used by other reasonably
competent practitioners of the same discipline under similar circumstances. All Services
shall be performed by qualified and experienced personnel who are not employed by City.

4LEAF, Inc. Page 3
requirements of this Agreement, all applicable federal, state and local laws, and legally

City, contractors, or governmental agencies.
9. HOLD HARMLESS
9.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents,
volunteers, employees and any person or entity owning or otherwise in legal control of
the property upon which Consultant performs the Project and/or Services contemplated
by this Agreement (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all
claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or damage to property),
demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments,
fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever (individually,
a Claim; collectively, "Claims"), and which relate (directly or indirectly) to the negligence,
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.
9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
Consultant to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in
this indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attomeys' 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.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
10.1 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
4LEAF, Inc. Page 4
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
Services or Work pursuant to this Agreement shall: work full-time for more than six (6)
months; work regular part-time service of at least an average of twenty (20) hours per

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 be
4LEAF, Inc. Page 5
construed as an assignment: The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of 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 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.

Agreement, shall become the exclusive property of City, and City shall have the sole right

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
full responsibility for such changes unless City has given Consultant prior notice and has

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
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.
4LEAF, Inc. Page 7
23. CITY'S RIGHT TO EMPLOY OTHER CONSULTANTS
City reserves the right to employ other Consultants in connection with the Project.

4LEAF, Inc. (4LEAF) is pleased to present our proposal to provide Building Plan Review and Inspection
Services to the City of Newport Beach (City). 4LEAF has been providing a range of services to 400+ clients
throughout California for more than 20 years and we are humbled to show the City the extent of what we

require additional staff assistance. We provide jurisdictions with Building, Planning, Public Works, and
Fire Department services and has qualified staff available to serve the City with remote, on -site, part-
time, or full-time project needs. For the scope of this contract, our services include:

designers.

each department within a jurisdiction to conduct an analysis of existing
processes, identify how best to streamline separate departmental processes to improve workflow, and provide
guidance and recommendations on an improved work plan.

Plan Review OA/AC Review Process
Task 1- Project Tracking Set-up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City of Newport
Beach each to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each
submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.
Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage (preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan
review project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete (i.e., all pertinent plans,
calculations, reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted
package is incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the deficient documents needed to proceed
with our review.
Task 3 - Plan Review Assignment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to the most
qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We will log each application into our
database the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for
daily project tracking.
Task 4 - Plan Review
4LEAF will provide the project contact (Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City of
Newport Beach with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building
codes, ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.
Task 5 - Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review
the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.
After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e-mailed to a designated staff member at
the City of Newport Beach or as directed by the City.
The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include the following information: a description of the work,
type of construction, occupancy group, square footage, number of floors, and sprinkler requirements.
Task 6 - Plan Review Rechecks
Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for conformance. Our goal is to actively work with the designers to
resolve all unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are complicated issues that might
cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve these
concerns.
Task 7 - Project Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting
documents per the City of Newport Beach processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our
letter of completion.

record of working with municipalities to provide expedited reviews with special discounted pricing.
Pick-up of all plans will be performed by 4LEAF staff within 24 hours of the City's phone call or e-mail. 4LEAF
prefers to pick-up and deliver the plans in person to communicate information that may be pertinent to the
project and maintain consistent communication. At no additional cost, 4LEAF staff will transport the plans to and
from the City upon a phone call to the 4LEAF office or simply e-mail for "pick-up" to pickupsocal@41eafinc.com.
4LEAF's EZPIan Review
EZPIan Review is our in-house tracking software that acts
as a communication tool between 4LEAF and the
jurisdictions we work with. The use of EZPIan makes
communication easy. This web portal allows users
visualize project due dates, notes, and status updates so
that projects can be followed from start to finish.
Additionally, 4LEAF provides electronically stamped and
uploaded copies of approved project plans, a value which
saves clients time and resources. With the use of EZPIan,
4LEAF hopes to provide a level of ease and transparency
during the off -site plan review process.

Document Control
When plans and documents are received for review, 4LEAF's Plan Review Manager and Document Control

transmitted through 4LEAF's easily accessed EZPIan Review Portal which tracks initial and subsequent reviews
and is open for view by the client. The City and their customers can view 4LEAF's plan review control log through
4LEAF's EZPIan Review Portal.
Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting
of Plan Review Engineers, Architect (a licensed state
professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as
applicable. Our staff then performs his or her function of
analyzing the plans and documentation for effective
conformance to the state codes, referenced construction
standards, and City amendments. 4LEAF's code review
methodology is "The Effective Use of the Codes" reinforced
through proprietary and jurisdictional checklists. When
complete, the Plan Review Manager overviews the project for
quality control purposes and forwards comments or approvals to the client's pre -designated contacts.
Off -Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan review allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We
strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time
efficiency and a "green" and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital
capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company -wide, from any of our office
locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers,
businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will
be given to City staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process.
4LEAF has successfully implemented and used Bluebeam for electronic review of files to help eliminate the use of
paper and take the plan review workflow to a whole new level. 4LEAF's offices are equipped with large scale
monitors for easy review of plans. Bluebeam Revu combines powerful PDF editing, markup, and collaboration
technology with reliable file creation. Bluebeam integrates flawlessly with our Green Line approach for electronic
and timely turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.
Additional Technologies
Having served more than 350 jurisdictions, 4LEAF and our staff are knowledgeable and have experience working
with a variety of different technologies for Electronic Plan Review, Permit Tracking, and Building Inspections.
4LEAF's experience with tracking technologies includes, but is not limited to:

Structural Only Review
Upon request, 4LEAF will perform "structural only" reviews for the City. 4LEAF can communicate directly with the
designers via email, in -person meetings, and through our EZPIan Review system. 4LEAF prefers PDF files for
"structural only" reviews as they allow several Structural Engineers to review plans together should there be
design -related questions. The majority of 4LEAF's plan review engineers have a design background and work well
with project designers.

following:
4LEAF, 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
4LEAF, 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.
