THIS AGREEMENT for consulting services is made by and between the City of Dublin (“City”) and
CSW-Stuber-Stroeh Engineering Group, Inc. dba CSW/ST2 (“Consultant”) (together sometimes referred to
as the “Parties”) as of July 1, 2021 (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, 2024, 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
Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and 07/01/2021
CSW/ST2 for On-Call Surveying Services Page 2 of 15
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

public work, it is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of
Industrial Relations.

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

(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

end on June 30, 2024, 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.

Agreement in the manner and according to the standards observed by a competent
practitioner of the profession in which Consultant is engaged.

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.

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.

as defined in Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 2 of the California Labor Code, unless

registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is

THIS AGREEMENT for consulting services is made by and between the City of Dublin (“City”) and
Tetra Tech, Inc. (“Consultant”) (together sometimes referred to as the “Parties”) as of July 1, 2021 (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, 2024, 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,

applicable to public works, to the extent set forth in Exhibit D.

1771.1 of the California Labor Code, that Consultant or any subconsultant shall not be

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

PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 1720 ET SEQ.
HOURS OF WORK:

8 hours during any one calendar day and 40 hours during any one calendar week at not less than one-
and-one-half times the basic rate of pay.
C. The Consultant and its subcontractors shall forfeit as a penalty to the City $25 for each worker
employed in the performance of the services described in Exhibit A for each calendar day during which
the worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day, or more than 40
hours in any one calendar week, in violation of the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1810

WAGES:
A. In accordance with California Labor Code Section 1773.2, the City has determined the general

wages, the Consultant shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify the failure, including, but
not limited to, retaining sufficient funds due the subcontractor for performance of the services 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
