17.11. City Remedy for Noncompliance. If Consultant does not maintain
the policies of insurance required under this Section in full force and effect during
the term of this Agreement, or in the event any of Consultant's policies do not
comply with the requirements under this Section, City may either immediately

may, but has no duty to, take out the necessary insurance and pay, at
Consultant's expense, the premium thereon. Consultant shall promptly reimburse

the premiums from payments due to Consultant.
17.12. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to the performance of Services under
this Agreement, Consultant shall furnish City with original certificates of
insurance and all original endorsements evidencing and effecting the coverages
required under this Section on forms satisfactory to and approved by City. The

replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Consultant
shall furnish such proof at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the

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.
17.14. Broader Coverage/Higher Limits. No representation is made that
the minimum insurance requirements of this Agreement are sufficient to cover
the obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant may 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 Services. If Consultant maintains broader coverage and/or
higher limits than the minimums required above, City requires and shall be
entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by
Consultant.
17.15. Subcontractor Insurance Requirements/Pass-Through Clause.
Consultant shall require each of its subconsultants and/or subcontractors that
perform Services under this Agreement to maintain insurance coverage that

review all such coverages and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such
coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Section.
Consultant agrees to submit all agreements with consultants, subcontractors,
and others engaged in the Services upon City's request.
17.16. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and

services and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Indemnitees

suppliers, or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or

lawsuit against City. Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit
based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that

work, claims, and/or changed conditions have been followed by Consultant. If no
such Government Code claim is submitted, or if any prerequisite contractual
requirements are not otherwise satisfied as specified herein, Consultant shall be
barred from bringing and maintaining a lawsuit against City.
25.0 Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of California, except that any rule of construction to the effect that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in
interpreting this Agreement. Orange County, California shall be the venue for any
action or proceeding that may be brought by reason of, that arises out of, and/or
relates to any dispute under this Agreement (whether contract, tort or both).

This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement
and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall
be deemed to have any rights hereunder against either party by virtue of this
Agreement.
28.0 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
19 of 23
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 (i) effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party
making the waiver, (ii) deemed to be a waiver of, or consent to, any other breach,
failure of a condition, or right or remedy, or (iii) deemed to constitute a continuing
waiver unless the writing expressly so states.
29.0 Prohibited Interests; Conflict of Interest
29.1. 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
likely make Consultant "financially interested" (as provided in California
Government Code §§ 1090 and 87100) in any decision made by City on any
matter in connection with which Consultant has been retained.
29.2. Consultant further warrants and maintains that it has not employed
or retained any person or entity, other than a bona fide employee working
exclusively for Consultant, to solicit or obtain this Agreement. Nor has Consultant

absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement without further liability, or to
deduct from any sums payable to Consultant hereunder the full amount or value
of any such fee, commission, percentage or gift.
29.3. Consultant warrants and maintains that it has no knowledge that
any officer or employee of City has any interest, whether contractual, non -
contractual, financial, proprietary, or otherwise, in this transaction or in the
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.
30.0 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
20 of 23
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, agents, and servants 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, agents and servants.
31.0 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.
32.0 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.
33.0 Mutual Cooperation
33.1. 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.
33.2. Consultant's Cooperation. Consultant agrees to work closely and
cooperate fully with City's representative and any other agencies that may have
jurisdiction or interest in the work to be performed. 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.
34.0 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
21 of 23
construed to limit or deprive a Party of the benefits of any grace or use period
allowed in this Agreement.
35.0 Attorneys' Fees
If either party commences an action against the other party, either legal,
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
the losing party all of its attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection
therewith.
36.0 Titles and Headings
The titles and headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and
shall in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement or
any part of it.
37.0 Recitals
City and Consultant acknowledge that the above Recitals are true and correct
and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

agreements, with an estimated contract amount to be determined. An option to

the number of firms will depend on the quality, diversity, and responsiveness of the
received proposals.
Due to the on-call/as-needed nature of this contract, no work is guaranteed, even if

RE: Response to Request for Proposal for On -Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines
Dear Kathryne Cho,

Part of Accenture
We at Anser Advisory Management, LLC, dba Anser Advisory (Anser), part of Accenture, a local Orange County firm, are pleased to
respond to the City of Seal Beach's Request for Proposals to provide On -Call Professional Services for Various Disciplines. Having
partnered with the City for more than six (6) years on a variety of projects, we fully understand the technical, specialized aspects
that go into effectively managing projects within this unique coastal community. For this reason, we have brought together a
full range of professionals and subject matter experts to best augment the City's professional capabilities and to provide high-
quality, timely expertise on an as needed basis to address every project need.
With over 1.5 -million visitors each year, the quiet and down-to-earth community of Seal Beach is a desirable location for tourists
seeking a laid back vacation destination or residents seeking a quiet, peaceful lifestyle. Considering these unique community
aspects, we recognize the need for the City to invest in continuous improvements to its beaches and marinas, mobility and water
infrastructure, parks and open spaces, as well as public facilities and utilities. To best meet these needs, a variety of skilled
resources are needed to best deliver the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) at least over a period of three years. Anser isjust
that firm, and we are committed for the long term to continue to service the City on your important work ahead.
The Anser team offers extensive professional experience, having provided on-call services to the City of Seal Beach and other
similar municipalities and public agencies throughout Southern California over our 27 -plus -year history. We pride ourselves
on delivering readily available resources in the forms of trained and certified personnel, a full range of comprehensive support
services, specialized expertise, and meticulous financial compliance resources. Our team's combined experience coupled with
a deep understanding of best practices in coordination of diverse, complex, simultaneously occurring projects translates into
significant benefit to the City during the execution of your projects. The Anser team is pleased to present our proposal and to
provide a full range of services for the following disciplines:

in the success of the City's CIP projects. We go the extra mile to represent the City, minimize impacts to the local community
COVER LETTER
during construction, and safely complete projects on time and on or under budget. The Anser team recognizes the City's
Strategic Objectives and provides the following unique benefits to best complement your vision, values and objectives:
» Organizational Efficiencies - the evolution of Anser as a firm is a true testament to our ability to grow and adapt while
effectively incorporating organizational effectiveness and considerate change management. Having recently been
acquired by Accenture, a global leader in technology and management consulting, our ability to enhance organizations
with effective operational best practices has expanded exponentially. Whatever the need or consideration, the Anser
team is ready to work with the City to enable your plans for organizational growth and enhancement.
» Community Outreach and Capital Projects - we recognize the sensitive nature of conducting high profile construction
projects within the tight -knit community of Seal Beach, and therefore take a tactful and proactive approach to executing
your capital projects through transparency and collaboration. We partner with the City early in the planning process
to conduct wide -reaching community outreach efforts, leveraging the expertise of our partner Costin Public Outreach
Group (CPOG) to augment communications and public outreach needs and to enable a multi -channel approach for
interacting with the community.
» Housing Projects - having worked on over 6,000 housing units with every source of financing available to state and
local developers, Anser's in-house housing experts provide advisory, funding, and management services for a variety
of housing types. With our recent experience providing construction management services on the West Los Angeles
Veterans Administration Century Housing project, we bring a local perspective to addressing and accomplishing regional
housing initiatives.
» Coastal Community Considerations - whether it is erosion relief, flooding mitigation, stormwater management, or other
considerations surrounding coastal communities, our team has extensive experience and demonstrated expertise
working with and within coastal municipalities in Southern California. We not only understand the dynamics with
addressing these key considerations throughout the construction process, but also enable a forward-looking approach to
addressing regulatory compliance considerations.
» Fiscal and Environmental Sustainability - the ultimate goal for any municipal leader is to responsibly manage public funds
and assets to best serve the community for the short and long terms. Through our full range of professional offerings,
we assist our public clients with monitoring and tracking every public dollar spent throughout the capital construction
process, enabling the greatest benefit and highest level of stewardship for the community. Additionally, our in-house
team of sustainability experts help to analyze and guide environmentally -conscious decisions throughout the design and
construction process to further support our collective sustainable futures.
» Public Safety - as our top priority on any project that we manage, we take a thorough approach to monitoring, reporting
on and addressing safety throughout the full construction process. Our team members both on and off of our job sites
fully understand the importance of ensuring public safety throughout all phases of work, and we therefore partner with
all members of each project team to verify safe practices, establish plans that enable the greatest level of safety, and
enable positive outcomes without impacts to the community.
As you will find in our subsequent proposal, we have taken a thoughtful and contemplative approach to assemble a full team
of experts to address every potential project need. We strive to serve as your best partner and advocate throughout the entire
capital project process, while also serving as a thought leader and leader within the construction and management consulting
industry. We look forward to continuing our important work ahead with the City of Seal Beach as we further serve you on your
projects and beyond. Thank you for this opportunity and for your time and consideration.

Understanding the Nature of Coastal and Marine Infrastructure
Rising sea levels pose significant challenges to coastal communities in California due to increased risks of coastal erosion,
inundation, and flooding. The changing weather patterns bringing higher rainfall and more severe storms to Southern California
can have significant implications for the region's environment, infrastructure, and communities. These impacts can threaten
infrastructure, property, ecosystems, and the livelihoods of coastal residents. Anser recognizes the City's objectives to sustain
the critical infrastructure within the City for current and future generations that live and work in Seal Beach.
With our knowledge and experience having worked for waterfront and port facilities, within the City as well as with other
similar coastal communities, our team is familiar with erosion and flood control, environmental contamination mitigation, and
construction best practices to enable long-term solutions to coastal and marine projects while also addressing the regulatory
requirements of these initiatives. Regulatory requirements for construction projects in Southern California coastal communities
are often stringent due to environmental concerns, coastal preservation efforts, and the need to ensure sustainable development.
Here are some common regulatory aspects that may apply to future capital construction projects within the City of Seal Beach:
» Coastal Development Permits (CDPs)- In California, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) regulates development along
the coast. Most construction projects within the Coastal Zone, which extends from the mean high tide line to three miles
offshore, require a Coastal Development Permit. These permits are aimed at ensuring that development is consistent with
the California Coastal Act, which prioritizes coastal resource protection, public access, and recreation.
» Local Zoning Regulations- Each coastal community has its own zoning regulations governing land use, density, setbacks,
and other parameters for development. These regulations tend to be more restrictive in coastal areas to protect sensitive
habitats, prevent erosion, and maintain scenic views. Seal Beach zoning regulations encompass these aspects, and must be
addressed during the planning process to enable the proactive compliance with these regulations.
» Environmental Impact Assessments(EIAs)- Construction projects in coastal areas often require thorough EIAs to evaluate
potential effects on wildlife, water quality, air quality, and other environmental factors. This may involve studies on
endangered species, wetlands, geological hazards, and other ecological considerations. For instance, species such as the
California least tern, Western snowy plover, and tidewater goby are known to inhabit coastal areas in Southern California and
may occur within or near Seal Beach. Careful assessment and planning to prevent impacts is required for all projects with
potential for environmental considerations.
» Floodplain Management - Given the risk of flooding in coastal areas, construction projects frequently need to comply
with floodplain management regulations, including requirements for elevation, flood -resistant materials, and stormwater
management.
» Water Quality Regulations- Construction activities can have significant impacts on water quality due to sediment runoff,
chemical pollutants, and other factors. Compliance with regulations governing stormwater discharge, erosion control, and
wastewater management is essential.
» Coastal Hazards Mitigation - Coastal communities are vulnerable to hazards such as sea -level rise, coastal erosion, and
tsunamis. Construction projects may need to incorporate measures to mitigate these risks, such as setback requirements,
shoreline armoring, or building elevation.
» Public Access Requirements- The California Coastal Act emphasizes public access to the coast, so construction projects
may be required to provide amenities such as public trails, beach access points, or view corridors.
» Historic Preservation - Coastal communities often have historic structures or archaeological sites that are protected by
preservation regulations. Construction projects may need to undergo review to verify that historic resources are preserved
or mitigated.
» Marine Protection - Development near marine habitats, such as tidal wetlands or kelp forests, may be subject to additional
regulations to protect these sensitive ecosystems.
» Local Coastal Plans (LCPs)- Some coastal communities have their own Local Coastal Programs approved by the CCC. These
plans outline specific regulations and policies for land use, development, and conservation within the community's jurisdiction.
Though navigating these regulatory requirements can be complex, our team of tenured professionals work closely with local
planning departments, environmental agencies, and regulatory bodies to plan for and verify compliance as well as obtain
necessary permits for construction projects in Seal Beach.

Seal Beach Pier Emergency Repair ($1.6M)(02/2023 - 06/2023)
The project responded to pier damages experienced by heavy storms and tidal conditions. Rapid response to remove
damaged piles from the ocean to prevent further pier damage was performed after a structural evaluation of the pier was
first performed. Additional sub -surface and above -surface condition assessments assisted in developing the scope of work to
repair the pier. New piles, cross bracing, pile wraps, gangway, and railings were all removed and replaced. This project is still
ongoing but is entering the final month of work.
Anser has been actively providing project management and construction management services throughout the entire life of
this project. Anser mobilized immediately on site to assist the City in safely securing the pier and coordinating the immediate
recovery of the damaged pier material. Our team managed the contractor's scope development and execution of work.
Anser coordinated all documentation and negotiations between the City and the insurance adjusters to support this work. To
complete this project, our team coordinated all site activities, including all pier, parking lot, and road closures.
Seal Beach Pier Concrete Abutment and Restroom Renovations ($IM)(09/2023 - 1'2/2023)- pictured
This project consisted of the renovation of the concrete pier abutment spalling and delaminated walkway surface, concrete
parapet walls, columns, and girders, and new composite storage doors and hardware. The abutment restrooms received full
interior renovations to all fixtures, flooring, ADA stalls and openings, new interior lighting and all electrical, HVAC, and plumbing
furnishings to complete this work.
Anser provided management efforts with the design team to review and rewrite the special provisions, project constraints,
plans, and technical specifications. Anser also provided project management staff augmentation and construction
management services during construction.
Seal Beach Pier Imorovements MM)(2018 - 2019)
Recovering from a devastating fire in 2014, the Seal Beach Pier was reconstructed. Reconstruction included major structural,
deck and utility repairs. The Pier was reopened in May 2019 just before Memorial Day and the start of the summer season. For
three years, the over 100 -year-old wooden pier has been partially closed to pedestrian traffic as the City gathered funds, permits
and expertise to perform the necessary repairs. These repairs and upgrades, which total over $8 Million, included the installation
of over 12,300 square feet of Greenheart decking, reinstallation and upgrade of almost 25,000 combined linear feet of fire
protection, sewer, electrical, communication and potable water utilities, refurbishment and upgrade of light poles, and upgrades
to various beach -front amenities such as lifeguard tower network infrastructure, drinking fountains, restrooms and fish sinks.
As the construction management team, Anser guided the City in making informed repair and budgetary decisions as previously
undetected damage and compromised structural members are discovered. Utilizing our extensive experience and knowledge in
marine construction and engineering, Anser has been able to advise on construction processes and methods and expertly guide
the project's schedule, contract changes, and budgets. The project was delivered under budget and on schedule.

Anser is the Construction Management and Project Inspection firm for the ongoing Phase'1' Dry Utility Project. The Phase
1 infrastructure project is the second of five infrastructure phases aimed at housing 2700 homeless veterans. Phase
'T' effectively picks up where the Phase "0" project ended by supplementing the existing underground electrical and
telecommunication utilities to provide additional power, communication, and data services to 1,200+ new housing units on
the West LA VA campus. Phase 'T' consists of the new construction of approximately 1,000 LF of SCE duct bank and vault
installation, 1,000 LF each of Spectrum and Frontier duct bank, pull -boxes, and manholes, as well as the relocation of critical

design, contract document and specification creation, and bidding phases. Change Order: Owner/VA initiated change order due
to a waterline needing relocation.

California Labor Code ("Chapter 1"). Further, Consultant acknowledges that this
Agreement is subject to (a) Chapter 1 and (b) the rules and regulations established by

to those Services that are "public works", Consultant shall comply with and be bound by
all the terms, rules and regulations described in 1(a) and 1(b) as though set forth in full
herein.
2. California law requires the inclusion of specific Labor Code provisions in certain
contracts. The inclusion of such specific provisions below, whether or not required by
California law, does not alter the meaning or scope of Section 1 above.
3. Consultant shall be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations in
accordance with California Labor Code Section 1725.5, and has provided proof of
registration to City prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. Consultant shall not

1725.5. Consultant and subcontractors shall maintain their registration with the DIR in
effect throughout the duration of this Agreement. If Consultant or any subcontractor
ceases to be registered with DIR at any time during the duration of the project,
Consultant shall immediately notify City.
4. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.4, Consultant's Services are subject to
compliance monitoring and enforcement by DIR. Consultant shall post job site notices,
as prescribed by DIR regulations.
5. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1773.2, copies of the prevailing rate of per diem
wages for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to perform the Agreement
are on file at City Hall and will be made available to any interested party on request.
Consultant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the DIR determination of such prevailing
rate of per diem wages, and Consultant shall post such rates at each job site covered by
this Agreement.
6. Consultant shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections
1774 and 1775 concerning the payment of prevailing rates of wages to workers and the
penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages. Consultant shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit
$200.00 for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the
prevailing rates as determined by the DIR for the work or craft in which the worker is
employed for any public work done pursuant to this Agreement by Consultant or by any
subcontractor.
7. Consultant shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section
1776, which requires Consultant and each subcontractor to: keep accurate payroll
records and verify such records in writing under penalty of perjury, as specified in
Section 1776; certify and make such payroll records available for inspection as provided
by Section 1776; and inform City of the location of the records.
8. Consultant shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Sections
1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 and California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 200 et
seq. concerning the employment of apprentices on public works projects. Consultant

subcontractors shall not be debarred or suspended throughout the duration of this
Contract pursuant to Labor Code Section 1777.1 or any other federal or state law
providing for the debarment of contractors from public works. If Consultant or any
subcontractor becomes debarred or suspended during the duration of the project,
Consultant shall immediately notify City.
10. Consultant acknowledges that eight hours labor constitutes a legal day's work.
Consultant shall comply with and be bound by Labor Code Section 1810. Consultant
shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of Labor Code Section 1813
concerning penalties for workers who work excess hours. Consultant shall, as a penalty
to City, forfeit $25.00 for each worker employed in the performance of this Agreement by
Consultant or by any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is
required or permitted to work more than eight hours in any one calendar day and 40
hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Division 2, Part 7,
Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1815, work
performed by employees of Consultant in excess of eight hours per day, and 40 hours
during any one week shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all
hours worked in excess of eight hours per day at not less than one and one-half times
the basic rate of pay.
11. California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700 provide that every employer will be
required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees. In accordance with
the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1861, Consultant hereby certifies as
follows:
"I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which
require every employer to be insured against liability for workers'
compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the work of this contract."
12. For every subcontractor who will perform work on the project, Consultant shall be
responsible for such subcontractor's compliance with Chapter 1 and Labor Code
Sections 1860 and 3700, and Consultant shall include in the written contract between it
and each subcontractor a copy of those statutory provisions and a requirement that each
subcontractor shall comply with those statutory provisions. Consultant shall be required
to take all actions necessary to enforce such contractual provisions and ensure
subcontractor's compliance, including without limitation, conducting a periodic review of
the certified payroll records of the subcontractor and upon becoming aware of the failure
of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the specified prevailing rate of wages.
Consultant shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify any failure.
13. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, hold harmless
and defend (at Consultant's expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to City) City, its
elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, servants, those City agents
serving as independent contractors in the role of City officials, and volunteers from and
against any demand or claim for damages, compensation, fines, penalties or other
amounts arising out of or incidental to any acts or omissions listed above by any person
or entity (including Consultant, its subcontractors, and each of their officials, officers,
employees, agents and servants) in connection with any work undertaken or in
connection with the Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all
consequential damages, attorneys' fees, and other related costs and expenses. All
duties of Consultant under this Section shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
