Re: Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services
Slope and Roadway Stabilization
Courtright and Pearce
San Rafael, California
Introduction
Per our recent site inspection and discussion, we are pleased to propose our geotechnical
engineering services regarding exploratory borings and preparing plans to stabilize the downslope
side of Pearce Road south of 155 Pearce. Slope movement appears to be occurring causing slow
settlement and cracking of the roadway. Based on our understanding of the project and experience
with similar projects, we recommend the following scope of services.
Task 1 – Site Exploration
We will mark boring locations in the field and notify Underground Service Alert (USA) for
identification of public active utilities to confirm there is no conflict with boring locations. We will
obtain a drilling permit from Marin County Environmental Health. We assume an encroachment
permit will be waived by the City.
We will drill two borings with track-mounted drilling equipment to anticipated depths of 20 feet
below ground surface. Traffic Control or road closure will be required during drilling. The actual
depth of borings will be based on the subsurface conditions encountered during drilling. During
exploration, we will collect soil samples and transport them to our laboratory to perform tests to
determine pertinent engineering properties.
Task 2 – Repair Plans
Based on the results of our exploratory borings and using a topographic site plan (AutoCAD) provided by
the City, we will provide conceptual slope stabilization options (20% plans) to protect and stabilize the
roadway. We will consult to discuss options with the project team.
Once the preferred option is selected, we will perform slope stability analyses and engineering analyses to
design a stabilization plan. We will prepare and issue 60%, 90% and 100% plans and specifications that
can be used in the bidding and construction of the project.

a written confirmation of a change in the Scope of
Services, it will become an amendment to this Agreement
unless Client objects in writing within 5 business days
after receipt. All Services performed by MPEG on the
Project are subject to the terms and limitations of this
Agreement. If Services are performed, but the parties do
not reach agreement concerning modifications to the
Scope of Services or compensation, then the terms and
limitations of this Agreement apply to such Services,
except for the payment terms. The parties agree to
resolve disputes concerning modifications to scope or
compensation pursuant to Section 19, “Disputes.”
2.2. Licenses. MPEG will procure and maintain

interpretations, recommendations, findings, or
conclusions pertaining to Biological Pollutants. Client
agrees that MPEG has no liability for any claims alleging
a failure to investigate, detect, prevent, assess, or make
recommendations for preventing, controlling, or abating
Biological Pollutants. Furthermore, Client agrees to
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MPEG from all
claims by any third party concerning Biological Pollutants,
except for damages caused by MPEG’s sole negligence.
3. PAYMENTS TO MPEG
3.1. Basic Services. MPEG will perform the Services
set forth per the Scope of Services for the Fee and per the
Schedule of Charges shown on Page 1 and Page 8 of this
Agreement.
3.2. Additional Services. Any Services performed
under this Agreement, except those Services expressly
identified in the attached Scope of Services, will be
provided on a time and materials basis unless otherwise
specifically agreed to in writing by both parties.
3.3. Estimate of Fees. MPEG will, to the best of its
ability, perform the Services and accomplish the
objectives defined in this Agreement within any written
cost estimate provided by MPEG. Client recognizes that
changes in scope and schedule, and unforeseen
circumstances can all influence the successful completion
of Services within the estimated cost. The use of an
estimate of fees or of a “not to exceed” limitation is not a
guarantee that the Services will be completed for that
amount; rather, it indicates that MPEG shall not incur fees
and expenses in excess of the estimate or limitation
amount without obtaining Client’s agreement to do so.
3.4. Rates. Client will pay MPEG at the rates set forth
in the Schedule of Charges.
3.4.1. Changes to Rates. Client and MPEG agree
that the Schedule of Charges is subject to periodic review
and amendment, as appropriate to reflect MPEG’s current
fee structure. Unless Client objects in writing to the
proposed amended fee structure within 30 days of
invoice, the amended fee structure will be incorporated
into this Agreement and will then supersede any prior fee
structure. If Client timely objects to the amended fee
structure within 30 days, and MPEG and Client cannot
agree upon a new fee structure within 30 days after
notice, MPEG may terminate this Agreement and be
compensated as set forth under Section 18,
“Termination.”

AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND TESTING SERVICES January 2025 Page -3 of 7
3.4.2. Prevailing Wages. It is the responsibility of
Client to determine whether federal, state, or local
prevailing wage requirements apply and to notify MPEG if
prevailing wages apply. If it is later determined that
prevailing wages apply, and MPEG was not previously
notified by Client, Client agrees to pay the prevailing wage
from that point forward, as weII as a retroactive payment
adjustment to bring previously paid amounts in line with
prevailing wages. Client also agrees to defend, indemnify,
and hold harmless MPEG from any alleged violations
made by any governmental agency regulating prevailing
wage activity for failing to pay prevailing wages, including
the payment of any fines or penalties.
3.5. Payment Timing; Late Charge. MPEG may
invoice Client at least monthly. All invoices are due upon
receipt. Client shall notify MPEG in writing, at the address
below, within 15 days of the date of the invoice if Client
objects to any portion of the charges on the invoice, and
shall promptly pay the undisputed portion. All amounts
unpaid 30 days after the invoice date will include a late
payment charge from the date of the invoice, at the rate
of 1-1/2% per month or the highest rate permitted by law.
MPEG may suspend Services for lack of timely payment.
Client agrees to pay all collection-related costs that
MPEG incurs, including attorney fees.
4. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE; DISCLAIMER OF
WARRANTIES
4.1. Level of Service. MPEG offers different levels of
Services to suit the desires and needs of different clients.
Although the possibility of error can never be eliminated,
more detailed and extensive Services yield more
information and reduce the probability of error, but at
increased cost. Client must determine the level of
Services adequate for its purposes. Client has reviewed
the Scope of Services and has determined that it does not
need or want a greater level of Services than that being
provided.
4.2. Standard of Care. Subject to the limitations
inherent in the agreed Scope of Services as to the degree
of care, the amount of time and expenses to be incurred,
and subject to any other limitations contained in this
Agreement, MPEG will endeavor to perform its Services
consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by other professionals practicing in the same
locale and under similar circumstances at the time the
Services are performed.
4.3. No Warranty. No warranty, express or implied, is
included or intended by this Agreement.
5. ESTIMATE OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS
Client acknowledges that construction and project
development are subject to many influences that are not
subject to precise forecasting and are outside of MPEG’s
control. Client further acknowledges that actual costs
incurred may vary substantially from the estimates
prepared by MPEG and that MPEG does not warrant or
guaranty the accuracy of construction or development
cost estimates.
6. CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
If MPEG’s Scope of Services includes observation and/or
testing during the course of construction, the following
conditions apply.
6.1. Construction Observation.
6.1.1. Site Meetings & Visits. MPEG will participate
in job site meetings as requested by Client, and, unless
otherwise requested by Client, visit the site at times
specified in the Scope of Services or, if not specified in
the Scope of Services, at intervals as MPEG deems
appropriate to the various stages of construction to
observe the geotechnical conditions encountered by
Contractor and the progress and quality of the
geotechnical aspects of the Work. Based on information
obtained during such visits and on such observations,
MPEG may inform Client of the progress of the
geotechnical aspects of the Work. Client understands that
MPEG may not be on site continuously; and, unless
expressly agreed otherwise, MPEG will not observe all of
the Work.
6.1.2. Contractor’s Performance. MPEG does not,
and cannot, warrant or guarantee that all of the
geotechnical Work performed by Contractor meets the
requirements of MPEG’s geotechnical recommendations
or the plans and specifications for such geotechnical

failure to perform the Work in accordance with the plans,
specifications or the recommendations of MPEG.
6.1.3. Contractor’s Responsibilities. MPEG will not
supervise, direct or have control over the Work nor will
MPEG have authority over or responsibility for the means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of
construction selected by Contractor for the geotechnical
aspects of the Project; for safety precautions and
programs incident to the Work; nor for any failure of
Contractor to comply with Laws and Regulations
applicable to Contractor furnishing and performing its
Work.
6.1.4. Final Report. At the conclusion of
Construction Phase Services, MPEG may provide Client
with a written report summarizing the tests and
observations, if any, made by MPEG.

appropriate action on the Contractor’s submittals, such as
shop drawings, product data, samples, and other required
submittals. MPEG will review such submittals solely for
general conformance with MPEG’s design, and will not
include review for the following, all of which will remain the
responsibility of the Contractor: accuracy or
completeness of details, quantities or dimensions;
construction means, methods, sequences or procedures;
coordination among trades; or construction safety.
6.3. Tests. Tests performed by MPEG on finished Work
or Work in progress are taken intermittently and indicates
the general acceptability of the Work on a statistical basis.
MPEG’s tests and observations of the Work are not a
guarantee of the quality of Work and do not relieve other
parties from their responsibility to perform their Work in
accordance with applicable plans, specifications and
requirements.
7. CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES
In addition to payment for the Services performed under
this Agreement, Client agrees to:
7.1. Cooperation. Assist and cooperate with MPEG in
any manner necessary and within its ability to facilitate
MPEG’s performance under this Agreement.
7.2. Representative. Designate a representative with
authority to receive all notices and information pertaining
to this Agreement, communicate Client’s policies and

to the Project and this Agreement. Client’s representative
will be subject to change by written notice.
7.3. Rights of Entry. Provide access to and/or obtain
permission for MPEG to enter upon all property, whether
or not owned by Client, as required to perform and
complete the Services. MPEG will operate with
reasonable care to minimize damage to the Project
Site(s). However, Client recognizes that MPEG’s
operations and the use of investigative equipment may
unavoidably alter conditions or affect the environment at
the existing Project Site(s). The cost of repairing such
damage will be borne by Client and is not included in the
fee unless otherwise stated.
7.4. Relevant Information. Supply MPEG with all
information and documents in Client’s possession or
knowledge which are relevant to MPEG’s Services. Client
warrants the accuracy of any information supplied by it to
MPEG, and acknowledges that MPEG is entitled to rely
upon such information without verifying its accuracy. Prior
to the commencement of any Services in connection with
a specific property, Client will notify MPEG of any known
potential or possible health or safety hazard existing on or
near the Project Site, with particular reference to
Hazardous Materials or conditions.
7.5. Subsurface Structures. Correctly designate on
plans to be furnished to MPEG the location of all
subsurface structures, such as pipes, tanks, cables and
utilities within the property lines of the Project Site(s), and
be responsible for any damage inadvertently caused by
MPEG to any such structure or utility not so designated.
MPEG is not liable to Client for any losses, damages or
claims arising from damage to subterranean structures or
utilities that were not correctly shown on plans furnished
by Client to MPEG.
8. CHANGED CONDITIONS
If MPEG discovers conditions or circumstances that it had
not contemplated at the commencement of this
Agreement (“Changed Conditions”), MPEG will notify
Client in writing of the Changed Conditions. Client and
MPEG agree that they will then renegotiate in good faith
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If MPEG and
Client cannot agree upon amended terms and conditions

governmental agencies, including the potentially affected
public, of the existence of any Hazardous Materials
located on or in the Project site, or located during the
performance of this Agreement. The existence or
discovery of Hazardous Materials constitutes a Changed
Condition under this Agreement.
10. CERTIFICATIONS
Client agrees not to require that MPEG execute any
certification with regard to Services performed or Work
tested and/or observed under this Agreement unless: 1)
MPEG believes that it has performed sufficient Services
to provide a sufficient basis to issue the certification; 2)
MPEG believes that the Services performed or Work
tested and/or observed meet the criteria of the
certification; and 3) MPEG has reviewed and approved in
writing the exact form of such certification prior to

City of San Rafael Service Level Agreement
Rev. Jan. 2023 Page 3 of 8
its officers or employees shall have any control over the manner by which the Consultant performs this
Agreement and shall only dictate the results of the performance. Consultant shall not represent that
Consultant, or its agents, employees or independent contractors, are agents or employees of the City.
Consultant is responsible for the payment of all taxes, workers’ compensation insurance and
unemployment insurance. Consultant shall obtain no rights to retirement benefits or other benefits that
accrue to City’s employees, and Consultant hereby waives any claim it may have to any such rights.

to act on behalf of the City or to bind the City to any obligation.
6. Interest of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and professional
employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property
and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the geographical areas likely to be covered by this
Agreement, or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment that would be affected
in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant’s services under this Agreement. Consultant
further covenants and represents that, in the performance of its duties, no person having any such interest
shall perform any services under this Agreement.
If Consultant is determined to be a “Consultant” or a “designated employee” within the meaning

any kind, including but not limited to attorney's fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of
litigation (collectively “Liabilities”), arising out of Consultant’s performance of its obligations or
conduct of its operations under this Agreement. The Consultant’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 Consultant’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 Consultant’s work or work
product by the City or any of its directors, officers or employees shall not relieve or reduce the
Consultant’s indemnification obligations. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to
any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from Consultant’s performance of or
operations under this Agreement, Consultant shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at
Docusign Envelope ID: D68F97A3-61CB-419B-8F9B-2C497B76119C
City of San Rafael Service Level Agreement
Rev. Jan. 2023 Page 4 of 8
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 Consultant 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, then, to the extent permitted by law including without limitation, Civil
Code sections 2782, 2782.6 and 2782.8, Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless the City
Indemnitees from and against any Liabilities, to the extent they are caused by the negligence,
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.
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 of such City
Indemnitee.
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.

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.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of San Rafael (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written
notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures
electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
(ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and
signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us.
You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and
immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a
limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us
that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your
decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and
disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can
complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the
required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your
acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the
DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from
us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you
through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents
that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the
chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and
disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the
disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with
this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
How to contact City of San Rafael:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically, to request paper copies
of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically as
follows: To contact us by email send messages to: city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org
To advise City of San Rafael of your new email address
To let us know of a change in your email address where we should send notices and disclosures electronically to you, you
must send an email message to us at city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org and in the body of such request you must state: your

Parties agreed to: Scott Stephens, Nate Klemin
previous email address, your new email address. We do not require any other information from you to change your email
address.
If you created a DocuSign account, you may update it with your new email address through your account preferences.
To request paper copies from City of San Rafael
To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided by us to you electronically,
you must send us an email to city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org and in the body of such request you must state your email
address, full name, mailing address, and telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.
To withdraw your consent with City of San Rafael
To inform us that you no longer wish to receive future notices and disclosures in electronic format you may:
