recklessness, or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, or any subconsultants, or subcontractor
or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone for whom they are legally liable
(collectively Liabilities). Such obligation to hold harmless and indemnify any indemnity shall not
apply to the extent that such Liabilities are caused in part by the negligence or willful misconduct

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Services to be performed for CITY by CONSULTANT under this Agreement are more fully
described in CONSULTANT's proposal, which is attached to this Exhibit A.
Rev. 08.22 A-1
Exhibit A
Project Understanding
Merlone Geier Partners (Project Applicant or developer) is proposing to redevelop the Northgate Mall as
a mixed use development in the City of San Rafael (City or Client), which is known as the Northgate
Town Square development. The purpose of this work program is to advise City staff regarding this
proposed development as the City negotiates a potential development agreement with the developer.
Based on a review of information provided by the developer regarding its proposed master plan, the
Northgate Mall would be redeveloped into Northgate Town Square, an open-air, mixed-use town center.
The development would include transit -oriented housing as well as interconnected community gathering
spaces and retail that would encourage public interaction. Central to this vision is the creation of the new
outdoor town square that will serve as the heart of the project, attracting residents throughout the City and
new retailers to this one -of -a -kind destination in Marin County. The developer is proposing to enter into a
development agreement with the City, which would include the public use of the town square property as
a community benefit.
Work Program
Seifel Consulting, Inc. (Seifel or Consultant) proposes to perform the following tasks based on our initial
understanding of the services to be performed. These tasks may be refined upon project initiation.
Task 1: Project Initiation, Meetings and Coordination
We will initiate our work program with a conference call to review the proposed work tasks and to
discuss how they can most efficiently and effectively be implemented. The key focus of this initial
discussion will be to:
• Review and refine the scope of services based on a mutual understanding of the underlying goals,
priorities and parameters of the work program.
* Gather and review relevant documents and data provided to date.
• Review the schedule for the assembly of additional data and the preparation of work products.
• Schedule follow-up calls or meeting(s) to discuss work progress.
Throughout the work effort, we will conduct coordination calls or meetings with City staff and/or the
developer as needed to ensure the work is accomplished effectively. These calls or meetings will be
scheduled periodically and will serve to evaluate the progress of the project work, obtain additional
information and review work performed to date.
Given the advisory nature of the proposed work program, the proposed work program will likely evolve
as work continues and the need for future work products may need to be refined. For this reason, we will
collaborate closely with City staff to ensure that our work effort best meets the City's objectives
throughout this assignment.
Page 2
Task 2. Real Estate Advisory Services
Based on our initial understanding of the work program, Seifel proposes to perform the following services
in collaboration with City staff and legal counsel:
■ Obtain relevant information regarding the developer's proposed master plan and community
benefit program, with a particular focus on the town square and affordable housing components.
■ Review and analyze relevant information provided by the developer regarding the proposed
development, including development revenues and costs as applicable.
• Utilize current data and reports available through the City and/or published sources to verify
developer assumptions and projections.
• Review the Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) and any related financial analysis prepared by the City's
consultant to assist in DA negotiations regarding project costs/benefits to the City. (If possible,
the City's consultant will share relevant financial and/or fiscal information that is gathered for
their study that could be useful in valuing the community benefits.)
■ In collaboration with City staff and informed by data provided by the developer and FIA, evaluate
the potential value for the community benefits that are being offered as well as the value of the
benefits being asked (e.g. vested development rights) to the City as part of the development
agreement. (City staff will provide a summary of the required components of the proposed master
plan, which will not be considered community benefits.)
• Prepare for and attend meetings with City staff to discuss proposed communication with the
developer, negotiation strategies and preparation of the development agreement.
• Provide as -needed consultation via meetings or teleconferences with City staff. (This will include
coordination calls as needed to ensure the work is accomplished effectively.)
Task 3. Public Meetings
Based on our initial understanding of the public meeting process, Seifel proposes to perform the
following services:
Assist City staff during the public review process.
• Assist City staff in preparing for public meetings, hearings and presentations on the proposed
project and potential development agreement to the Planning Commission and City Council.
• Present findings and recommendations at public meetings, as needed.
Task 4. Additional Services
This scope of services is based on our initial understanding of our role and tasks to be performed for this
assignment. Seifel will provide additional services upon client approval and within a separate additional
services budget to be mutually agreed upon, which may include, but are not limited to:
• Prepare additional analyses or written products, as mutually agreed upon, which may include a
review of submittals by the developer with respect to the use of concession(s) per State Density
Bonus law or other proposed components of the development or master plan.
■ Provide additional advisory services, as mutually agreed upon.
• Provide a peer review of documents and fiscal and economic analysis provided by the developer
and its consultants, which may be subject to a confidentiality agreement.
■ Prepare presentations for and/or participate in additional meetings beyond those described above.
• Conduct extensive review of supporting data.
0 Page 3
Retain additional professional advice to inform the work program, such as cost estimation or
property appraisal services, or purchase relevant real estate data.
• Review and advise on other related issues and/or documents as needed.
Schedule and Work Products
The schedule for the proposed work program and the anticipated work products will be discussed and
generally agreed upon during Task 1. Seifel will prepare electronic communication, summary tables and
supporting materials that present initial and refined findings and recommendations from the analysis. If
needed, we will prepare a draft and final memorandum of key findings and recommendations from the
analysis.
All work products will be submitted in electronic PDF format to the City, with the understanding that all
work is confidential unless released by the City. Given the nature of this assignment, consultant work
files, interim work products and financial pro formas are considered proprietary and confidential.

Exhibit B: Compensation
Given the nature of the assignment, we will bill on a time and materials basis, as the level of effort will
vary depending on the desired advisory services and the comprehensiveness of the work program. (See
Exhibit A for billing rate terms.) The maximum contract budget for these services is $74,900.
Based on initial discussions with staff, Table 1 provides an estimated budget range for each of the
proposed tasks along with key budget assumptions. Task 4 includes a budget range for additional services

During the term of this Agreement, and for any time period set forth below,
CONSULTANT shall procure and maintain in full force and effect, at no cost to CITY insurance
policies with respect to employees and vehicles assigned to the performance of Services under this
Agreement with coverage amounts, required endorsements, certificates of insurance, and coverage
verifications as defined in this Exhibit B.
A. Scope of Coverage. During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall
maintain, at no expense to CITY, the following insurance policies:
1. Commercial general liability. A commercial general liability insurance
policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, for death, bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage.
2. Automobile liability. An automobile liability (owned, non -owned, and hired
vehicles) insurance policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence.
3. Professional liability. If any licensed professional performs any of the
services required to be performed under this Agreement, a professional liability insurance policy in
the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, to cover any claims arising out of the CONSULTANT's performance of
services under this Agreement. Where CONSULTANT is a professional not required to have a
professional license, CITY reserves the right to require CONSULTANT to provide professional
liability insurance pursuant to this section.
4. Workers' compensation. If it employs any person, CONSULTANT shall
maintain workers' compensation insurance, as required by the State of California, with statutory
limits, and employer's liability insurance with limits of no less than one million dollars
($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury or disease. CONSULTANT's workers' compensation
insurance shall be specifically endorsed to waive any right of subrogation against CITY.
B. Other Insurance Requirements. The insurance coverage required of the
CONSULTANT in subparagraph A of this section above shall also meet the following requirements:
1. Except for professional liability insurance or workers' compensation
insurance, the insurance policies shall be specifically endorsed to include the CITY, its officers,
agents, employees, and volunteers, as additional insureds (for both ongoing and completed
operations) under the policies.
2. The additional insured coverage under CONSULTANT's insurance policies
shall be "primary and noncontributory" with respect to any insurance or coverage maintained by
CITY and shall not call upon CITY's insurance or self-insurance coverage for any contribution. The
"primary and noncontributory" coverage in CONSULTANT'S policies shall be at least as broad as
Rev. 08.22 B-1
ISO form CG20 0104 13.
3. Except for professional liability insurance or workers' compensation
insurance, the insurance policies shall include, in their text or by endorsement, coverage for
contractual liability and personal injury.
4. By execution of this Agreement, CONSULTANT hereby grants to CITY
a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONSULTANT may acquire against
CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONSULTANT agrees to
obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but this
provision applies regardless of whether or not CITY has received a waiver of subrogation
endorsement from the insurer.
5. If the insurance is written on a Claims Made Form, then, following termination
of this Agreement, said insurance coverage shall survive for a period of not less than five years.
6. The insurance policies shall provide for a retroactive date of placement
coinciding with the Effective Date of this Agreement.
7. The limits of insurance required in this Agreement may be satisfied by a
combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall
contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and
noncontributory basis for the benefit of CITY (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before
CITY'S own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
8. It shall be a requirement under this Agreement that any available insurance
proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or
limits shall be available to CITY or any other additional insured party. Furthermore, the requirements
for coverage and limits shall be: (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in this Agreement; or
(2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds
available to the named insured; whichever is greater. No representation is made that the minimum
insurance requirements of this Agreement are sufficient to cover the obligations of the
CONSULTANT under this Agreement.
9. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the Services, who is brought onto or involved in the performance of the Services by
CONSULTANT, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of CONSULTANT,
except as with respect to limits. CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage
and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this Agreement. CONSUTLANT agrees that upon request by CITY, all
agreements with, and insurance compliance documents provided by, such subcontractors and
others engaged in the performance of Services will be submitted to CITY for review.
10. CONSULTANT agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used
by any party involved in any way with the Services reserves the right to charge CITY or
CONSULTANT for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any
08.22 B-2
such provisions are to be deleted with reference to CITY. It is not the intent of CITY to reimburse
any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse
against CITY for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
C. Deductibles and SIR's. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in
CONSULTANT's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the CITY and shall not
reduce the limits of liability. Policies containing any self-insured retention (SIR) provision shall
provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be satisfied by either the named insured or CITY
or other additional insured party. At CITY's option, the deductibles or self-insured retentions with
respect to CITY shall be reduced or eliminated to CITY's satisfaction, or CONSULTANT shall
procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claims administration,
attorney's fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide to the PROJECT MANAGER
all of the following: (1) Certificates of Insurance evidencing the insurance coverage required in this
Agreement; (2) a copy of the policy declaration page and/or endorsement page listing all policy
