REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Remon Habib, City Engineer
Date:May 13, 2025
Subject:Professional Services Agreement with HDR, Inc. for Lake Street Alignment
Study Between Alberhill Ranch Road and Mountain Street
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Professional Services with HDR, Inc. in
the amount of $148,734.00 for the Lake Street Alignment Study in such final form as approved by
the City attorney and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed a 10%
contingency for unanticipated costs.
Background
Lake Street has an existing width of 2 lanes. The profile has a vertical curve through its alignment
between Alberhill Ranch Road to the North and Mountain Street to the South. The vertical curve
poses potential sight distance restrictions and requires additional study before a recommendation
can be made relative to widening and ultimate vertical profile.
Discussion
HDR will provide engineering services to the City related to widening alternatives and profile
studies necessary to efficiently address existing vertical curve and sight distance issues. The
consultant will study different alternatives for City staff that focus on reducing or eliminating costly
construction phasing, reducing relocation of underground utilities, and providing a cost-efficient
alternative for the ultimate widening of Lake Street to six lanes.
Fiscal Impact
The Professional Services agreement will result in $148,734.00 plus an additional 10%
contingency. The project is part of the City’s approved CIP program Project No. Z10083.

or property in and around the vicinity of where the services will be rendered or City Hall. If the City
makes a reasonable determination that any of Consultant’s prospective or then current personnel

him or her with a suitable worker.

be given to the City and that the records and documents be maintained in City Hall. Access to
such records and documents shall be granted to any party authorized by Consultant, Consultant’s
representatives, or Consultant’s successor-in-interest.
9. Independent Contractor.
a. Consultant is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly
independent contractor pursuant to California Labor Code Section 3353. The personnel
performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of Consultant shall at all times be under
Consultant’s exclusive direction and control. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or
agents shall have control over the conduct of Consultant or any of Consultant’s officers,
employees, or agents, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not at any time or
in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner
officers, employees, or agents of the City. Consultant shall not incur or have the power to incur
any debt, obligation, or liability whatsoever against City, or bind City in any manner.
b. Notwithstanding any other federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances
and regulations to the contrary and except for the fees paid to Consultant as provided in the
Agreement, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing service
under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any
claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not
limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution
to be paid by City for employer contribution and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.
10. PERS Eligibility Indemnification. In the event that Consultant or any employee,
agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement claims or is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement
System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Consultant shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer
contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or
subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions,
which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
11. 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 5
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 represents that it has obtained and will maintain at all times
during the term of this Agreement all professional and/or business licenses, certifications and/or
permits necessary for performing the services described in this Agreement, including a City
business license.
14. Licenses. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses,
permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required
of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant represents and warrants to City that
Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term
of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of
Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business
license.
15. Indemnity.
a. Indemnification for Professional Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials,
employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses,
liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they
arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the
Consultant. Consultant’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred
Page 6
by City in direct proportion to the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault. Consultant’s
percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the
event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court,
jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the Consultant’s percentage of fault, the parties
agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the Consultant’s proportionate
percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost
reimbursement owed to the City.
b. Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability. Other than in the
performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Consultant shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its employees, officials and agents
from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings,
administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind,
whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys’ fees and costs, court costs, interest,
defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or
are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Consultant
or by any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable, including but not limited to
officers, agents, employees or sub-consultants of Consultant. Consultant shall not be liable to
third parties for any liability exempted by statute.
c. General Indemnification Provisions. Consultant agrees to obtain executed
indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each
and every sub-consultant or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of
Consultant in the performance of this Agreement. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such
indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible
according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these
requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any
rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding on the
successors, assigns or heirs of Consultant and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or
this section.
16. Insurance Requirements.
a. Insurance. Consultant, at Consultant’s own cost and expense, shall
procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, unless modified by the City’s Risk Manager,
the following insurance policies.

for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all
Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the City at least thirty (30) days prior
to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its
officers, agents, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by
Consultant for City. In the event that Consultant is exempt from Worker’s Compensation

general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this
Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence

amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a
claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single limit per occurrence basis.
b. Endorsements. Each general liability and automobile liability insurance
policy shall be with insurers possessing a Best’s rating of no less than A:VII and shall be
endorsed with the following specific language:
i. Notwithstanding any inconsistent statement in any required
insurance policies or any subsequent endorsements attached thereto, the protection
offered by all policies, except for Workers’ Compensation, shall bear an endorsement
whereby it is provided that, the City and its officers, employees, servants, volunteers and
agents and independent contractors, including without limitation, the City Manager and
City Attorney, are named as additional insureds. Additional insureds shall be entitled to
the full benefit of all insurance policies in the same manner and to the same extent as any
other insureds and there shall be no limitation to the benefits conferred upon them other
than policy limits to coverages.
Page 8
ii. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the
City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by the City, including any self-insured retention the City may
have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it.
iii. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as

liability of the insuring company.
iv. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the City, its
elected or appointed officers, officials, employees or agents.
v. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall
not affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials,

inducement to City for entering into this Agreement is the professional reputation, experience and
competence of Consultant and the subcontractors listed in Exhibit B. Consultant shall be fully
responsible to City for all acts or omissions of any subcontractors. Assignments of any or all
rights, duties or obligations of the Consultant under this Agreement will be permitted only with the
express consent of the City. Consultant shall not subcontract any portion of the work to be
performed under this Agreement except as provided in Exhibit B without the written authorization
of the City. If City consents to such subcontract, Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for
all acts or omissions of those subcontractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any

the part of the City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor
other than as otherwise is required by law.
19. Waiver. Waiver of a breach or default under this Agreement shall not constitute a
continuing waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision under this

commences any legal action against the other party arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable litigation expenses, including court costs, expert
witness fees, discovery expenses, and attorneys’ fees.
21. Mediation. The parties agree to make a good faith attempt to resolve any disputes
arising out of this Agreement through mediation prior to commencing litigation. The parties shall
mutually agree upon the mediator and share the costs of mediation equally. If the parties are
unable to agree upon a mediator, the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS or its successor in
interest. JAMS shall provide the parties with the names of five qualified mediators. Each party
shall have the option to strike two of the five mediators selected by JAMS and thereafter the
mediator remaining shall hear the dispute. If the dispute remains unresolved after mediation,
either party may commence litigation.
22. Prohibited Interests. Consultant maintains and warrants that it has not employed
nor retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for
Consultant, to solicit or secure this Agreement. Further, Consultant warrants that it has not paid
nor has it agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely
for Consultant, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or other consideration
contingent upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation
of this warranty, City shall have the right to rescind this Agreement without liability. For the term
of this Agreement, no member, officer or employee of City, during the term of his or her service
with City, shall have any direct interest in this Agreement, or obtain any present or anticipated
material benefit arising therefrom.
23. Equal Opportunity Employment. Consultant represents that it is an equal
opportunity employer and it shall not discriminate against any subcontractor, employee or
applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, handicap, ancestry, sex
or age. Such non-discrimination shall include, but not be limited to, all activities related to initial
employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or
termination.
Page 10
24. Prevailing Wages. Consultant is aware of the requirements of California Labor
Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8,

rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance" projects.
Consultant agrees to fully comply with all applicable federal and state labor laws (including,
without limitation, if applicable, the Prevailing Wage Laws). It is agreed by the parties that, in
connection with the Work or Services provided pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall bear
all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under California law, and Consultant
hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the City, and its officials, officers, employees,
agents, and volunteers, free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or
alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. The foregoing indemnity shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
25. Severability. If any term or portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal,
or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
26. Controlling Law Venue. This Agreement and all matters relating to it shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California and any action brought relating to this Agreement
shall be held exclusively in a state court in the County of Riverside.

monetary changes in the scope of services; and/or (d) suspend or terminate the Agreement.
28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become binding upon the parties
when at least one copy hereof shall have been signed by both parties hereto. In approving this
Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
29. Entire Agreement; Incorporation; Conflict. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties relating to the obligations described herein. All prior or
contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and statements, oral or written,
are superseded in total by this Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. Consultant’s
Proposal is incorporated only for the description of the scope of services and/or the schedule of
performance and no other terms and conditions from such proposal shall apply to this Agreement
unless specifically agreed to in writing. In the event of conflict, this Agreement shall take
precedence over those contained in the Consultant’s Proposal.
30. Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written
