Agreement (whether contract, tort or both) shall be resolved in a superior court
with geographic jurisdiction over the City of Seal Beach.

be deemed to have any rights hereunder against either party by virtue of this
Agreement.
15 of 19
25.0 Waiver
No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to City
under this Agreement shall impair any right, power or remedy of City, nor shall it
be construed as a waiver of, or consent to, any breach or default. No waiver of
any breach, any failure of a condition, or any right or remedy under this
Agreement shall be (1) effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party
making the waiver, (2) deemed to be a waiver of, or consent to, any other

continuing waiver unless the writing expressly so states.
26.0 Prohibited Interests; Conflict of Interest
26.1. Consultant covenants that it presently has no interest and shall not
acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which may be affected by the Services, or
which would conflict in any manner with the performance of the Services.
Consultant further covenants that, in performance of this Agreement, no person
having any such interest shall be employed by it. Furthermore, Consultant shall
avoid the appearance of having any interest, which would conflict in any manner
with the performance of the Services. Consultant shall not accept any
employment or representation during the term of this Agreement which is or may

matter in connection with which Consultant has been retained.
26.2. Consultant further warrants and maintains that it has not employed
or retained any person or entity, other than a bona fide employee working

business of Consultant, and that if any such interest comes to the knowledge of
Consultant at any time during the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall
immediately make a complete, written disclosure of such interest to City, even if
such interest would not be deemed a prohibited "conflict of interest" under
applicable laws as described in this Section.
16 of 19
27.0 Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release
The acceptance by Consultant of the final payment made under this Agreement
shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for
compensation to Consultant for anything done, furnished or relating to
Consultant's work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation
of City's check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within
ten calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by
City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and
liability of Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents for the accuracy
and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall
such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility
or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Consultant, its
employees, subcontractors and agents.
28.0 Corrections
In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth above, Consultant shall
correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City's
review of Consultant's report or plans. Should Consultant fail to make such
correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City,
and the cost thereof shall be charged to Consultant. In addition to all other
available remedies, City may deduct the cost of such correction from any
retention amount held by City or may withhold payment otherwise owed
Consultant under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
29.0 Non -Appropriation of Funds
Payments to be made to Consultant by City for any Services performed within
the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available,
unexhausted fund. In the event that City does not appropriate sufficient funds for
payment of Consultant's Services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement
shall cover payment for Consultant's Services only to the conclusion of the last
fiscal year in which City appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically
terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.
30.0 Mutual Cooperation
30.1. City's Cooperation. City shall provide Consultant with all pertinent
Data, documents and other requested information as is reasonably available for
Consultant's proper performance of the Services required under this Agreement.
30.2. Consultant's Cooperation. In the event any claim or action is
brought against City relating to Consultant's performance of Services rendered
under this Agreement, Consultant shall render any reasonable assistance that
City requires.
17 of 19
31.0 Time of the Essence
Time is of the essence in respect to all provisions of this Agreement that specify
a time for performance; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to limit or deprive a Party of the benefits of any grace or use period
allowed in this Agreement.

administrative or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to have and recover from

cities in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, California for sixteen plus years,
representing 750,000 people. Mr. Martinet finished his career as the Emergency
Planning Manager for the Controller's Office for the City and County of San Francisco

Since his retirement from government service in 2013, he has focused exclusively on
assisting local government agencies with disaster cost recovery training, planning and
cost recovery response consulting.

Mr. Martinet has experience with numerous disaster responses, including Presidentially
declared disasters in the California Winter Floods of 1995; the crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 in 2000; and the San Diego Wildfires of 2003. More recently he has assisted
the cities of San Francisco and Berkeley with their cost recovery efforts for the 2013
Rim Fire; the City of Vallejo with its cost recovery efforts in the 2014 Napa Earthquake;
Lake County, CA for the 2015 Rocky and Valley Fires; the City of Santa Rosa for the
North Bay fires of 2017; and the Town of Paradise, CA, for the Camp Fire in 2018; all
Federally declared disasters.
In addition to his flagship two-day class on the comprehensive introduction to FEMA's
Public Assistance program, Mr. Martinet has also developed a series of a dozen
customized workshops. The workshops cover the disaster cost recovery and financial
aspects of:

Disaster Cost Recovery Training Program Proposal
For the City of Seal Beach
PROGRAM BACKGROUND
Catastrophic disasters are a continuing threat throughout California, and occur on an
irregular cycle which can devastate large areas throughout the City. Following such
Presidentially declared disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
provides local government agencies with financial assistance through the Public
Assistance program, under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.
While the stated objective of the Public Assistance program is to assist local
governments to financially recover from the effects of disasters, the program has
extremely complex regulations that often result in specific recovery projects being
denied funding by FEMA. And years later, the Department of Homeland Security,
Office of the Inspector General (DHS -OIG) can further substantially reduce whatever
financial assistance local government agencies received when they audit projects
completed by these same agencies. Multi-million dollar audit "take -backs" are not
uncommon in these audits.
The greatest single risk for FEMA deobligations and DHS -OIG audit findings is the
failure of a local government agency to comply with the Federal procurement
regulations in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200. The second
greatest risk comes from insurance and risk management related issues as explicated
in FEMA's Public Assistance Policy on Insurance, Recovery Policy FP 206-086-1. Most
local government agencies are completely unaware of how these regulations put
Federal grant funds at risk following disasters.
A fundamental flaw exists in how local government agencies perceive FEMA's Public
Assistance process. Many agencies focus virtually all of their attention on tracking the
costs for the emergency response phase of a disaster, the first one or two weeks from
the onset of an event. But in fact, approximately 80% of the costs of a disaster occur
AFTER the "emergency" phase is over. Most of these post -emergency phase costs are
managed by government staff other than first responders, i.e., the financial staff,
procurement personnel, risk managers, project managers, etc. These personnel
seldom if ever receive appropriate training in the unique aspects of disaster cost

recovery grant management. And managing disaster recovery grants is substantially
different than the management of other "day-to-day" non -disaster Federal grants.
Furthermore, the Federal regulations continually change. Since Hurricane Sandy
devastated parts of New York and New Jersey in 2011, the Federal government has
issued well over a dozen major program changes that further frustrate even the best
efforts of local government agencies.
Many, if not most of these financial losses are avoidable when local government
agencies have effective plans and procedures in place to manage these FEMA Public
Assistance grants. There are occasionally DHS -OIG audits with zero dollar findings,
that is, when the local government agency complied with Federal regulations and
effectively managed their disaster assistance grants.
It is therefore imperative that local government agencies have effective disaster grant
management plans in place; have pre -established administrative disaster grant
management processes; and have a pre -selected disaster cost recovery team identified
and well-trained in order to avoid these all too common multi-million dollar deobligations
and audit findings.
Having both strategic and tactical cost recovery plans, regulation compliant procedures
and effective staff training are essential to avoid FEMA deobligations and DHS -OIG
audit findings which can run into the tens of millions of dollars for a single agency on a
given disaster.
