FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Funds for this service have already been encumbered
as part of San Ramon Road, Phase IV.
DESCRIPTION: In order to ensure quality control for the San Ramon
Road, Phase IV construction project, the City is required to perform various
inspections and tests. Many of these inspections and tests are mandated as a
condition of using FAU funds for the project and are inspections and tests
that Caltrans performs on their own projects. Caltrans maintains its own
testing facilities and has personnel to perform specialty inspections. The
City of Dublin does not have these facilities or personnel and must therefore
contract out for these services.
General inspection is handled by the City's Public Works Inspector, Ed Zale.
Santina & Thompson, Inc., provides the Resident Engineer and an additional
construction inspector as part of the engineering services contract for FY
1990-91. Materials testing and inspection of certain aspects of the earthwork
are specialty items and must be done by a geotechnical engineering consultant.
When this project was originally started, it was anticipated that the cost of
material testing would be under $5,000. Staff had selected BSK to perform
this work over other testing firms based on their knowledge of the job, of
State requirements and their response on past projects. Due to the State's
additional testing requirements for this project on the concrete structures,
the $5,000 estimated testing has expanded to $15,000. Pursuant to the City's
purchasing ordinance, this contract must now be approved by the City Council.
The proposed agreement with BSK & Associates is on a time and materials basis
with a not-to-exceed cap of $15,000. The final cost will be based on the
actual level of services provided.
Conclusion
The City is obligated by the terms of its funding agreements and the need for
proper quality control to use geotechnical testing and inspection services.
There is sufficient money in the existing budget to pay for the services. BSK
has provided quality services on a timely basis to the City in the past and
has experience working for the City on similar projects. Staff recommends
that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the agreement and
authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

balance commencing 30 days after the date of the original invoice. If suit if filed, a reasonable attorney's ~'ee. to be set by the
court, shall be included in any judgment in Consultant's favor.
$. Ownership of Documents
Re~orts, boring logs. field data. field notes, laboratory test data. calculations, estimates, and other documents prevared by
the Consultant. as instruments of service, shall remain the property of the Consultant.
Client agre=~ that reports and other work ['urnished to the Client or his agents, which is not paid for. will be returned
demand and will not be used by the Client for any l~urI~ose whatever.

Services performed by the Consultant under this Agreement will be conducted in a manner consistent with that level of care
and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions. No other warranty,
expressed or implied, is made.
. ' CZient recognizes that subsurface conditions may vary from those encountered at the location where borings, surveys, or
explorations are made by the Consultant and that the data, interpretations and recommendations of the Consultant are based
solely on the information available to him. The Consultant will be responsible for those data, interpretations, and recommenda-
tions, but shall not be responsible for the interpretation by others of the information developed.
lft Insurance
The consultant r~pn:sents and warrants that it and its agents, staff and consultants employed by it is and are protected by worker's

12. Assigns
Neither the Client nor the Consultant may delegate, assign, sublet or transfer his duties or interest in this Agreement without
the written consent of the other party.
13. Notice to Property Owner ' '
If bills are not paid in full for the labor, services, equipment, or materials furnished or to be furnished, a mechanic's lien
leading to the loss, through court for~tosure proc~dings, of all or part of Owner's property being so improved may be placed
against the property even though Owner has paid his contractor in full. Owner may wish to protect himself against this con-
sequence by (I) requiring contractor to furnish a signed release by the person or firm giving this notice before making payment to
contractor, or (2) any other method or device which .is appropriate under the circumstances.
I4. Discovery. of Unanticipated Hazardous Materials
Hazardous materials or certain types of hazardous materials may exist at a site where there is no reason to believe they 'c'o~ld or
should be present. CONSULTANT and CLIENT a~,ree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials c~nstitutes a changed
condition mandating a renegotiation of the scope of'work or termination of services. CONSULTANT and CLIEN'F also agree that the
discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials may. make it necessary for CONSULTANT to take immediate measures to protect health
and safe.ry. CONSULTANT agrees to notify CLIENT as soon as practically possible should unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected
hazardous materials be encountered. CLIE~XCT encourages CONSULTANT to take any and all measures that in CONSULTAN-F's profes-
sional opinion are justified to preserve and protec~ the health and safety of CONSULTANT's personnel and the public. CLIENT agrees
to compensate CONSULTANT for the additional cost of working to protect employees' and the public's health and safety. In addition.
CLIENT waives any claim a~inst CONSULTANT. and agrees to defend, indemnify and save CONSULTANT harmless from iny ciaim
or liability for injury or loss arising from CONSULTANT's discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous
CLIENT also agrees to compensate CONSULTANT for any time spent and expe:'~ses incurred by CONSULTANT in defense of any
such claim, with such compensation to be based upon CONSULTANT's prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy retative
to recovery of direct: project costs.
In the event the project is not owned by CLIENT. CLIENT warrants that he has obtained all necessary permissions for CONSUL-
TANT to enter onto the site and conduct subsurface exploration activities. CLIENT recognizes that it ks his responsibility to inform
the property owner of the discovery of unanticipak-d hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials. CLIENT also recognizes
that any such discovery may result in a significant reduction of the property's walue. CLIENT waives any claim against CONSULTANT.
and agrees to defend, indemnify and save CONSULTANT harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss of any type arising
from CONSULTA~NT's discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials br suspected hazardous material on a site not owned by CLIENT.
