Interests 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 area covered Page 4 DocuSign Envelope ID:82C79182-A540-41C5-9DD2-87F066463E55 by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant's services hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement. Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant: a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).) 12. Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant's field of expertise. 13. Compliance with Laws. a. Consultant shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Consultant and/or its employees, officers, or board members. b.

Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license. 15. Indemnity. Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of Page 5 DocuSign Envelope ID:82C79182-A540-41C5-9DD2-87F066463E55 law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2)the actions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause.

(CAA) is pleased to offer Plan Check Services for Engineering Department to the City of Lake Elsinore (City). CAA has been providing these services to the City since 2020, and hopes to continue our relationship for many years to come. CAA is exceptionally well qualified to provide civil engineering plan check services, including plan check of commercial, industrial, and residential developments to the City. Our experience in development review includes review starting at the entitlement stage and runs through construction document preparation, construction, and inspection. We have experience in a full range of different types and sizes of development, ranging from single rural properties to master planned communities, mixed-use developments, planned unit developments and industrial/commercial business parks, to name a few. Our team of highly qualified and experienced staff has provided similar services to many cities and counties and brings numerous combined years of related experience to the table. California registered civil engineers, licensed land surveyors, and environmental scientists are available to provide back-up to the project and to meet the varying workload demands of the City. All work will be performed under the direction of a licensed engineer registered with the State of California who will review plans for compliance with all applicable codes, regulations, guidelines, and permits regarding grading, water quality, tract maps, parcel maps, street improvements, and other plan check services as required for engineering and development projects. The proposed team has many years of experience reviewing grading plans (rough and precise), stormdrain, water and sewer plans, street improvement plans, and traffic plans. As part of the review process, we also review hydraulic and hydrology reports, soil reports, structural calculations, engineering reports, and traffic studies for compliance with state and local rules and regulations, as well as general engineering practice. CAA will provide plan check services for projects including but not limited to the following: • Rough/Precise Grading • Street Improvements • Subdivision Maps • Final Tract/Parcel Maps/Legal Descriptions • Hydrology/Hydraulic • Geotechnical • Water Quality Management Reports • Erosion Control CAA's team is structured to allow flexibility in manpower and will match fluctuating workloads and priorities with proper staffing. Short-term fluctuations are leveled out through temporary use of other CAA personnel brought in for peak periods. Long-term needs are met through the addition or removal of trained staff, with City approval, as well as finding more efficient ways to manage and accomplish existing work. Our on-call plan checking service is provided by full-time and part-time plan checkers, civil as well as structural and non-structural reviewers, throughout each region and available to meet additional workload as required. CAA plan reviewers are proficient in the use of different software systems as well as Adobe Acrobat for electronic plan review. If requested by the City, CAA will provide daily pick-up and delivery of plans and specifications via a shipping service such as On-Trac or Eclipse at no additional cost to the City.
