any kind, including but not limited to attorney's fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of
litigation, (collectively "CLAIMS"), arising out of CONTRACTOR'S performance of its
obligations or conduct of its operations under this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR's
obligations apply regardless of whether or not a liability is caused or contributed to by the active
or passive negligence of the City Indemnitees. However, to the extent that liability is caused by
the active negligence or willful misconduct of the City Indemnitees, the CONTRACTOR's
indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the City Indemnitees' share of
liability for the active negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the acceptance or approval
of the CONTRACTOR's work or work product by the CITY or any of its directors, officers or
employees shall not relieve or reduce the CONTRACTOR's indemnification obligations. In the
event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial
proceeding arising from CONTRACTOR'S performance of or operations under this
Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at CITY'S
option reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred in defense of such claims.
B. Where the services to be provided by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement are
design professional services to be performed by a design professional as that term is defined
under Civil Code Section 2782.8, CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify, release, defend and hold harmless the City Indemnitees from and against any
CLAIMS that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful
misconduct of CONTRACTOR in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement,
except such CLAIM which is caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. In
no event shall the cost to defend charged to the design professional exceed the design
professional's proportionate percentage of fault.
C. The defense and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in
addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this
Agreement, and shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period
of time allowed by law.

Bill Say, M.A., Consulting
Proposal for City of San Rafael Human Resources
Prepared by Bill Say
May 20, 2019
Shibani Nag
Director of Employee Experience and Culture
Dear Shibani,
It has been a pleasure speaking with you about the City of San Rafael's Human
Resource department's interest in holding a pilot training workshop addressing
Diversity and Inclusion with a special focus on gender equity and power
dynamics.
Based on our communication to date, I understand that your organization is
seeking an engaging workshop that will help build general awareness of D&I
issues and focus specifically on gender equity and gender-based issues for an
audience that possesses mixed levels of experience with D&I work, represents
different city departments, and generations. The workshop also aims to move
towards a greater understanding of power dynamics associated with gender and
will constitute an important step towards creating a more healthy organizational
culture.
This proposal outlines a potential consulting structure to meet your needs.
Please review this proposal. I'm more than happy to discuss any aspect of it so
this consultation truly meets the needs of your group.
Warm wishes,
Bill Say
For this project I will work with your organization to provide the highest level of
service. I have extensive experience in the areas of diversity awareness, gender-
based issues and equity, communication, team building, and organizational
change management, which I will draw upon to address your needs.
Bill Say brings over twenty years of experience to the intersection of diversity
awareness, conflict resolution and community building including work in Asia,
Europe, and the Middle East. His consulting and training experience is with
organizations and community groups in the US and abroad including with
Alameda County Human Resources, City of Berkeley, City of Richmond,
Highlander Research and Education Center, UC Berkeley School of Engineering,
and UN refugee health organizations in the Middle East (UNRWA). He is a
faculty member of the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and
a former faculty member of the UC Berkeley Extension School of Professional
Communication. Bill is a Mindell Process Work Diplomate. His website is:
www.bilisay.com
Philosophy of Diversity
As an introduction to this proposal I would like to briefly describe my philosophy
of diversity.
For me, diversity is simply the many manifestations of life. In my consulting
practice, I focus upon the human diversity factors of: gender, race, ethnicity,
sexual orientation, age, socio-economic class, nationality, religion/ spirituality,
physical and mental ability, education, as well as differences in communication
and relational style, perspective, and other vital factors.
Diversity awareness is the individual and collective process of becoming aware
of differences, the varied experiences and views associated with differences,
embracing these differences and supporting their collaboration. In my view,
diversity awareness is intimately linked to more healthy, sustainable, and
inclusive organizational environments.
The vision that I aim for is teams, communities and organizations that are more
sustainable, resourceful, fluid, adaptive, inclusive, and healthy because their
various members are open to sharing the gifts, knowledge, challenges,
responsibilities, perspectives, and awareness that are associated with the
diversity present within our various environments. My overall goal is the co -
creation, with my clients, of these kinds of inclusive and healthy environments.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The overarching goal of this consultation is to help enhance awareness of
Diversity and Inclusion issues with a specific focus on gender and gender equity.
The objectives that would meet this larger goal are: a brief discovery phase
consisting of interviews with organizational members and a company -wide
survey; a 3 hour Diversity & Inclusion workshop; a workshop evaluation and
debriefing with Director of Employee Experience and Culture.
SCOPE OF WORK AND FEES
DISCOVERY PHASE
Company wide survey: offer a simple, 4-6 question survey that gathers
information and perceptions about organizational culture, diversity and inclusion,
gender and power dynamics, strengths and challenges associated with diversity
that are encountered within the organization, and help clarify training needs and
issues of most relevance.
Interviews: consultant will conduct 3 X 20 minute interviews of employees
selected to help clarify organizational issues related to gender issues and equity,
generational differences, and rank and privilege dynamics, The interviews will
help identify training needs, appropriate modalities, areas of interest and topic
focus.
PREPARATION
Based on communication with Director of Employee Experience and Culture and
interviewees, consultant will prepare a pilot training workshop structure and
design training materials and activities. The structure, activities and materials will
be presented to Director for feedback and adjustments.
TRAINING
Consultant will offer a three hour pilot training workshop to City of San Rafael
employees.
Here is a potential agenda:
1) Ice breaker
2) Welcome and introduction
3) What is Diversity? Equity? Inclusion? Group activity that helps define these
terms based on the participants' experience and knowledge with consultant
assistance, framing, additions and facilitation.
4) DE&I mini -vision: taking one or two words that stand out to participants from
each category, form a DE&I 'mini -vision' of what DE&I could be in their team,
department or the larger organization. Plus, what is one of their gifts or
'superpowers' that they could use to help enable this vision? Optionally, write it
on a post -it to share with the group.
5) Talk: gender equity and rank awareness in the workplace. Consultant offers an
interactive lecture and discussion on gender equity, generational differences,
and rank/privilege awareness in the workplace. Main points from this
discussion may be used as discussion points for breakout small group
discussions.
6) Breakout small group discussions. In small groups of 4-6, participants will
discuss points of interest that arose from the large group discussion and share
their findings in a large group `report back.' Alternately, consultant, utilizing
information from the survey and interviews, will offer small group members
discussion prompts that focus upon gender equity in the workplace. Potential
questions might include:
a) How do you see gender influencing communication in your department
or team meetings?
b) How does relative rank and privilege help or hinder communication
and/or teamwork in your department? What dynamics do you observe or
experience?
c) Do gender and gender dynamics influence the expressions of rank and
privilege? In what ways, positively or negatively?
d) Do generational differences between team members significantly impact
the expression of gender and/or power in the organization? Might
generational differences influence how these expressions are interpreted
by your team members?
e) Is your gender respected and supported well enough in your day-to-day
work, communications, leadership and team work?
6) Report back. Small group representatives offer a brief report of the main
findings and themes from their discussions. Alternately, reports are written on
large post -its and placed anonymously on the wall for others to read.
7) Head, Heart and Hands triad and post it exercise. Participants gather in
groups of three to discuss `head,' or what they intellectually learned; `heart,' to
share what they found meaningful or were touched by; and `hands,' to say
what action or next step they feel inspired to enact. These are written on post -
its and placed on a section of the wall for each category.
8) Tour of head, heart and hands. Group members have the opportunity to read
what others have learned, found meaningful, or plan to do.
9) Closing.
Evaluation
Participants are encouraged to fill out a brief evaluation/ feedback form.
DEBRIEF
Director of Employee Experience and Culture and consultant debrief the training
workshop and review the evaluations, discuss potential next steps.
FEES
Discovery:
Interviews: 1 hours X $100 = $100
Survey: 2 hours X $100 = $200
Preparation: 9 hours X $100 = $900
Training: 3 hours X $300 = $900
Total: $2100
Bill Say will require a retainer of 50% delivered with a signed contract to secure
consultant time. Balance payment will be due within 30 days of the last
contracted training date(s). Alternative payment arrangements can be made.
What I expect from my clients
Successful consulting engagements depend upon each party being clear and
specific as to mutual expectations and responsibilities. I ask for:
Clear communication about project needs, timelines, and fees.
Availability of key board/staff; prioritization of project within the organization;
timely delivery of agreed upon activities and documents; and ready access to
information and personnel.
Concerns about the project to be communicated to me in clear and timely ways.
Unless made explicitly so, I consider the organization and its mission to be my
ultimate client. Thus, while I support the leadership development and effective
strategic action of individuals and teams, I am always holding the mission and
larger organization as the ultimate guide for the best course of action.
My commitment to quality
I understand that training and organizational development are a work in progress;
there is always space for learning, improvement and change. As part of this
understanding I communicate with my clients on a regular basis throughout a
project to ensure that expectations are being met and that services are delivered
that are of the highest quality.
My commitment to confidentiality
I recognize that much of the information I receive on clients is privileged and
confidential. No confidential information, paper or electronic documents are ever
shared with other parties outside of your organization.
Unless notified in writing otherwise, Bill Say will list your organization name as a
client for his website and in related communications.
Modifying the agreement
Bill Say and City of San Rafael's Human Resource recognize that:
City of San Rafael's Human Resource may desire a mid -project change in Bill
Say's services that would add time and cost to the project.
Other provisions of this Agreement may be difficult to carry out due to unforeseen
circumstances.
If any intended changes or any other events beyond the parties' control require
adjustments to this Agreement, the parties shall make a good faith effort to agree
on all necessary particulars. Such agreements shall be put in writing, signed by
all parties, and added to this Agreement.
Cancellation policy
Bill Say recognizes that my client's consulting needs may change over time. If a
client chooses to cancel a contract they must do so in writing. All fees and
expenses accrued to date as well as already issued invoices will be due in full.
Bill Say reserves the right to cancel this contract if he believes the
consultant/client relationship is not occurring in good faith or if there are
irresolvable philosophical differences.
Should Bill Say not be able to successfully complete the scope of work, Bill Say
will make every effort to find an appropriate replacement in a timely manner.
Conclusion
Dear Shibani,
It is exciting to me the steps that City of San Rafael's Human Resource is taking
with regard to gender equity, inclusion, and diversity awareness. I feel quite
privileged that you are considering me to help you in this venture.
Please review this proposal and let me know how it looks to you. I'm more than
happy to discuss any and all aspects of it so that this proposed consultation and
pilot training workshop can truly be relevant and helpful and meet the needs of
your organization.
Warm wishes,
