Resolution and Proposed Amendment
.//~/';~' Adopt resolution approving amendment to agreement and authorize
Mayor to execute amendment.
FINANCIAL STATE/VI'ENT: Under'
geotechnical services to the City based on the adopted rate schedule. Types of services performed would
typically be soils or material testing for Capital Improvement Projects. The cost of the service would be
budgeted for the specific Capital project. BSK has indicated that their fees will not increase for the
upcoming year: The maximum expenditure with BSK is set at $50,000 per year.
DESCRIPTION: The' 'agreement With BSK'~-%~'i~-~0riginally approved in 1997 and was
subsequently extended through the 1998-99 fiscal year. This year, BSK has provided testing services for
the Dublin Swim Center and Heritage Center Renovation projects and Emerald Glen Park.
BSK is not proposing a rate increase for Fiscal Year 1999-2000; therefore, the amendment is solely to
extend the term of the agreement. Staffis proposing that the agreement be extended for a two-year period
and to allow the consultant to request an adjustment of rates for the second year of the term. Under this
agreement, Staff would typically obtain a not-to-exceed proposal from BSK for each specific Capital
Project. The cost of the work is budgeted within individual CIP's.
The work provided to date by BSK has been satisfactory, professional, and competitive, and Staff
recommends that the City Council approve the amendment to the agreement.

I4. Discovery of Unanticipated Hazardous Materials
Certain types of hazardous materials or contaminants may exist at a site where there is no reason to believe the
should be present. CONSULT. AaNT and CLIENT agree that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a chang;
condition mandatina a rene£otiation of the Mope ~f work or termination of services. CONSULTA.NT and CLIENT 'also agree th
the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials may make it necessary for CONSULT.A2xT to take immediate measures to prote
health and safety. CONSULTA.NT agrees to notify CLIEING' as soon as p .tactically possible should unanticipated hazardous matefia
or suspected hazardous materials be encountered. CLIENT encourages CONSULTAaNT to take any and all measures that
CONSULTAINrI~s professional opinion are justified to preserve and pro~'ect the health and safety of CONSULTANr'f"s personnel ar
the pubIic. CLIENT agrees to compensate CONSULTANT for the additional cost of working to protect employees' and the public
health and safety. In addition, CLIENT waives any claim against CONSULTANT, and agrees to defend, indemnify and sax
CONSULTA.NT harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss arising from CONSULTAI~q'"s discovery of unanticipate
hazardous materials, or suspected hazardous materials. CLIENT also agrees to compensate CONSULTANT for an)' time spent an
expenses incurred by CONSULTAINT in defense of any such claim, ~ith such compensation to be based upon CONSULTANT
prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy relative to recovery of direct project costs.
In the event the project site is not owned by CLIENT, CLIENT warrants that he has obtained all necessary permission
for CONSULTANT to enter onto the site and conduct subsurface exploration activities. CLIENT recoenizes that it is hi
responsibility to inform the property owner of the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected~hazardous malerial.~
CLIENT also recognizes that any such discovery may result in a significant reduction of the property's value. CLIENT waives an'
claim against CONSULTANT, and agrees to defend, indemnify and save CONSULTAhT harmless from any claim or liability
injury or loss of any type arising from CONSULTANT's discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardou.
material on a site not owned by CLIEiN-I'.
15. Precedence of Agreement Over Terms
in the evem that CLIENT desires to retain CONSULTANT to provide professional or technical services, CONSULTA.N'I
may prepare a Proposal for the work. The Proposal would include a Standard AGREEMENT, the Terms of which would be similm
to the above; but ff in conflict, the Terms of the AGREEMENT would take precedence over the above.
