Exhibit A
CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND
BKF ENGINEERS
FOR
ON -CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT for consulting services is made by and between the City of Dublin ("City") and
BKF Engineers ("Consultant") (together sometimes referred to as the "Parties") as of July 1, 2024 (the
"Effective Date").
Section 1. SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Consultant
shall provide to City the services described in the Scope of Work attached as Exhibit A at the time and
place and in the manner specified therein. In the event of a conflict in or inconsistency between the terms
of this Agreement and Exhibit A, the Agreement shall prevail.
1.1
Term of Services. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall
end on June 30, 2027, the date of completion specified in Exhibit A, and Consultant shall
complete the work described in Exhibit A on or before that date, unless the term of the
Agreement is otherwise terminated or extended, as provided for in Section 8. The time
provided to Consultant to complete the services required by this Agreement shall not affect
the City's right to terminate the Agreement, as referenced in Section 8. Notwithstanding
the foregoing this Agreement may be extended on a month to month basis for up to 6
months upon the written consent of the Consultant and the City Manager, provided that: a)
sufficient funds have been appropriated for such purchase, b) the price charged by the
Consultant for the provision of the serves described in Exhibit A does not increase. None
of the foregoing shall affect the City's right to terminate the Agreement as provided for in
Section 8.
1.2 Standard of Performance. Consultant shall perform all services required pursuant to this
Agreement in the manner and according to the standards observed by a competent
practitioner of the profession in which Consultant is engaged.
1.3 Assignment of Personnel. Consultant shall assign only competent personnel to perform
services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any
time during the term of this Agreement, desires the reassignment of any such persons,
Consultant shall, immediately upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City,
reassign such person or persons.
1.4 Time. Consultant shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this
Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance
provided in Subsection 1.2 above and to satisfy Consultant's obligations hereunder.
1.5 Public Works Requirements. Because the services described in Exhibit A include "work
performed during the design and preconstruction phases of construction including, but not
limited to, inspection and land surveying work," the services constitute a public works
within the definition of Section 1720(a)(1) of the California Labor Code. As a result,

Consultant is required to comply with the provisions of the California Labor Code
applicable to public works, to the extent set forth in Exhibit D.
1.6 Public Works Contractor Registration. Consultant agrees, in accordance with Section
1771.1 of the California Labor Code, that Consultant or any subconsultant shall not be
qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104
of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work,
as defined in Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the California Labor Code, unless
currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to California Labor Code
section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a
bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by
Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is
registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is
awarded. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a
public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant
to California Labor Code section 1725.5. Consultant agrees, in accordance with Section
1771.4 of the California Labor Code, that if the work under this Agreement qualifies as
public work, it is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of
Industrial Relations.
Section 2. COMPENSATION. City hereby agrees to pay Consultant a sum not to exceed
$4,000,000, notwithstanding any contrary indications that may be contained in Consultant's proposal, for
services to be performed and reimbursable costs incurred under this Agreement. In the event of a conflict
between this Agreement and Consultant's proposal, attached as Exhibit A, regarding the amount of
compensation, the Agreement shall prevail. City shall pay Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this
Agreement at the time and in the manner set forth herein. The payments specified below shall be the only
payments from City to Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall
submit all invoices to City in the manner specified herein. Except as specifically authorized by City in
writing, Consultant shall not bill City for duplicate services performed by more than one person.
Consultant and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to Consultant under this
Agreement is based upon Consultant's estimated costs of providing the services required hereunder,
including salaries and benefits of employees and subcontractors of Consultant. Consequently, the Parties
further agree that compensation hereunder is intended to include the costs of contributions to any pensions
and/or annuities to which Consultant and its employees, agents, and subcontractors may be eligible. City
therefore has no responsibility for such contributions beyond compensation required under this Agreement.
2.1 Invoices. Consultant shall submit invoices, not more often than once a month during the
term of this Agreement, based on the cost for services performed and reimbursable costs
incurred prior to the invoice date. No individual performing work under this Agreement shall

described in Exhibit A.
4. Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor, the Consultant shall
obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the subcontractor
that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per
diem wages for employees engaged in the performance of the services

that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per
diem wages for employees engaged in the performance of the services

Code Section 1813.
