Consultant hereby acknowledges that it accepts the Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Page 4 of 18 risk that the Services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Services may be more costly or time consuming than Consultant anticipates, and that Consultant shall not be entitled to additional compensation, therefore. It is expressly agreed that the maximum contract amount of this Agreement is undefined and is subject to the number and type of projects requiring the Consultant’s Services throughout the duration of the term of this Agreement, if any. Consultant’s compensation shall be limited to the Maximum Contract Amount identified on each separate, individually authorized Task Order corresponding to a project requiring the services of the Consultant. By approval of this Agreement, the City Council hereby authorizes the subsequent approval of individual Task Orders (Purchase Orders) in those amounts sufficient to cover the cost of required Services necessary for the projects. 2.2 Method of Payment.

This Agreement is subject to and contingent upon funds being appropriated therefore by the Palm Springs City Council for each fiscal year covered by the Agreement. If such appropriations are not made, the City Manager may terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8.3 of this Agreement; otherwise, there shall be no funding for any Services and Consultant shall not be entitled to payment for any Services that Consultant may provide. 3. SCHEDULE OF PERFORMANCE 3.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. The time for completion of the Services to be performed by Consultant is an essential condition of this Agreement. Consultant shall prosecute regularly and diligently the Work of this Agreement according to the agreed upon Schedule of Performance for each Task Order. Neither Party shall be accountable for delays in performance caused by any condition beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the non-performing Party. Delays shall not entitle Consultant to any additional compensation regardless of the Party responsible for the delay.

A. Consultant is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and 1770 et seq., which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects (“Prevailing Wage Laws”). If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more for maintenance or $25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, Consultant agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

In the event the City Manager determines that the Work or Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Consultant agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City Manager or his designee. Consultant shall immediately substitute any insurer whose A.M. Best rating drops below the levels specified herein. Except as otherwise authorized below Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Page 8 of 18 for professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance, all insurance provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be on an occurrence basis.

(2) If the policy of insurance is written on a “claims made” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect at all times during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of three (3) years from the date of the completion of the Services provided hereunder. In the event of termination of the policy during this period, Consultant shall obtain continuing insurance coverage for the prior acts or omissions of Consultant during the course of performing Services under the terms of this Agreement.

(3) In the event the policy of insurance is written on an “occurrence” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or until completion of the Services provided for in this Agreement, whichever is later. In the event of termination of the policy during this period, new coverage shall immediately be obtained to ensure coverage during the entire course of performing the Services under the terms of this Agreement. B. Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Consultant shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, workers’ compensation insurance in at least the minimum statutory amounts, and in compliance with all other statutory requirements, as required by the State of California.

The following provisions shall apply to the insurance policies required of Consultant pursuant to this Agreement: A. For any claims related to this Agreement, Consultant’s coverage shall be primary insurance as respects City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be in excess of Consultant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. B. Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies, including breaches of warranties, shall not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. C. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made, or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City, or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage. D. None of the insurance coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth herein (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City Manager and approved in writing. E. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements. Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Page 10 of 18 endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of the Project. It is Consultant’s obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided herein. F. Consultant agrees to ensure that subconsultants, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subconsultants and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review. G. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. H. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage. I. Requirements of specific insurance coverage features, or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive. J. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this section. K. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims. L. Consultant agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from the Consultant’s activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible. 5.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required herein shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. Coverage shall be provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M.

Consultant shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Consultant’s insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers’ Compensation policies. Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate: A. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured…” ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self-insurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). C. "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, “endeavor to” mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out. D. Both the Workers’ Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies. All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of work shall not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them. 6. INDEMNIFICATION 6.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (at Consultant’s sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses including legal costs and reasonable attorney fees (collectively “Claims”), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Consultant’s employees included), for damage to property, including property owned by City, for any violation of any applicable Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Page 12 of 18 federal, state, or local law or ordinance or to the extent arising out of, pertaining to, or relating to any negligent acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct committed by Consultant, its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, that arise out of or relate to Consultant’s performance of Services or this Agreement. This indemnification clause excludes Claims arising from the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Consultant’s indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement. Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final. 6.2 If Consultant’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Consultant’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to the extent which the Claims arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant in the performance of the Services or this Agreement, and, upon Consultant obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Consultant’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault. 7.REPORTS AND RECORDS 7.1 Accounting Records. Consultant shall keep complete, accurate, and detailed accounts of all time, costs, expenses, and expenditures pertaining in any way to this Agreement. Consultant shall keep such books and records as shall be necessary to properly perform the Services required by this Agreement and to enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such Services. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all reasonable times, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts from such records. 7.2 Reports. Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the Services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of the Work to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the Work contemplated herein or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of such fact, circumstance, technique, or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed. 7.3 Ownership of Documents.

Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. Consultant shall ensure that all its subconsultants shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event, Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. 7.4 Release of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, and other materials prepared by Consultant in the performance of Services under this Agreement shall not be released publicly without the prior written approval of the Contract Officer. All information gained by Consultant in the performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential and shall not be released by Consultant without City’s prior written authorization. 7.5 Audit and Inspection of Records. After receipt of reasonable notice and during the regular business hours of City, Consultant shall provide City, or other agents of City, such access to Consultant’s books, records, payroll documents, and facilities as City deems necessary to examine, copy, audit, and inspect all accounting books, records, work data, documents, and activities directly related to Consultant’s performance under this Agreement. Consultant shall maintain such books, records, data, and documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall clearly identify and make such items readily accessible to such parties during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment by City hereunder. 8. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT 8.1 California Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and as to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such County, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. 8.2 Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair language and common meaning to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Parties. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the Parties. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. The caption headings of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience and identification purposes only and shall not be deemed to limit, expand, or define the contents of the respective sections or paragraphs. 8.3 Termination. City may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Consultant. Where termination is due to the fault of Consultant and constitutes an immediate danger to health, safety, and general welfare, the period of notice shall be such shorter time as may be determined by the City. Upon receipt of the notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all Services except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all Services rendered prior to receipt of the notice of termination and for any Services authorized by the Contract Officer after such notice. City shall not be liable for any costs other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein. Consultant shall Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Page 14 of 18 not be entitled to payment for unperformed Services and shall not be entitled to damages or compensation for termination of Work. Consultant may not terminate this Agreement except for cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to City. 8.4 Default of Consultant. A. Consultant’s failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default. B. If the City Manager, or his designee, determines that Consultant is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, he/she shall notify Consultant in writing of such default. Consultant shall have ten (10) days, or such longer period as City may designate, to cure the default by rendering satisfactory performance. In the event Consultant fails to cure its default within such period of time, City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice of any remedy to which City may be entitled at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. Consultant shall be liable for any and all reasonable costs incurred by City as a result of such default. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not constitute a waiver of any City right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City’s right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 8.3. C. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.4.B, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required hereunder exceeds the Maximum Contract Amount (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. The withholding or failure to withhold payments to Consultant shall not limit Consultant’s liability for completion of the Services as provided herein. 8.5 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought. Any waiver by the Parties of any default or breach of any covenant, condition, or term contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other default or breach, nor shall failure by the Parties to require exact, full, and complete compliance with any of the covenants, conditions, or terms contained in this Agreement be construed as changing the terms of this Agreement in any manner or preventing the Parties from enforcing the full provisions hereof. 8.6 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party. 8.7 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Page 15 of 18 compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. 8.8 Attorney Fees.

CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 9.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor-in-interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 9.2 Conflict of Interest. Consultant acknowledges that no officer or employee of the City has or shall have any direct or indirect financial interest in this Agreement, nor shall Consultant enter into any agreement of any kind with any such officer or employee during the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter. Consultant warrants that Consultant has not paid or given, and will not pay or give, any third party any money or other consideration in exchange for obtaining this Agreement. 9.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. In connection with its performance under this Agreement, Consultant shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of actual or perceived race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, national origin ( i.e., place of origin, immigration status, cultural or linguistic characteristics, or ethnicity), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, physical or mental disability, or medical condition (each a “prohibited basis”). Consultant shall ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment, without regard to any prohibited basis. As a condition precedent to City’s lawful capacity to enter this Agreement, and in executing this Agreement, Consultant certifies that its actions and omissions hereunder shall not incorporate any discrimination arising from or related to any prohibited basis in any Consultant activity, including but not limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship; and further, that Consultant is in full compliance with the provisions of Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 7.09.040, including without limitation the provision of benefits, relating to non-discrimination in city contracting. 10.

To the fullest extent permissible under law, and in lieu of any other warranty by City or Consultant against patent or copyright infringement, statutory or otherwise, it is agreed that Consultant shall defend at its expense any claim or suit against City on account of any allegation that any Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Page 16 of 18 item furnished under this Agreement, or the normal use or sale thereof arising out of the performance of this Agreement, infringes upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright and Consultant shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded in any such suit or claim, provided that Consultant is promptly notified in writing of the suit or claim and given authority, information and assistance at Consultant’s expense for the defense of same, and provided such suit or claim arises out of, pertains to, or is related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant. However, Consultant will not indemnify City if the suit or claim results from: (1) City's alteration of a deliverable, such that City’s alteration of such deliverable created the infringement upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright; or (2) the use of a deliverable in combination with other material not provided by Consultant when it is such use in combination which infringes upon an existing U.S. letters patent or copyright. B. Consultant shall have sole control of the defense of any such claim or suit and all negotiations for settlement thereof, Consultant shall not be obligated to indemnify City under any settlement made without Consultant’s consent or in the event City fails to cooperate in the defense of any suit or claim, provided, however, that such defense shall be at Consultant’s expense. If the use or sale of such item is enjoined as a result of the suit or claim, Consultant, at no expense to City, shall obtain for City the right to use and sell the item, or shall substitute an equivalent item acceptable to City and extend this patent and copyright indemnity thereto. 10.2 Notices.

ON-CALL WASTEWATER ENGINEERING SERVICES City of Palm Springs Harris has entered into an agreement with Carollo Engineering to provide on-call wastewater engineering services at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). With operations managed by Veolia Water North America, the plant plays a key role in supporting the community’s infrastructure and environmental health. Harris is leading the charge on multiple vital projects that address the plant’s long-term functionality and safety, including the demolition of outdated facilities and the rehabilitation of essential systems. Our team is committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet the City’s needs while staying on schedule and within budget. Notable projects include: Demolition of Abandoned Headworks, Primary Clarifiers, Sand Filter, and Chlorine Contact Scope of Work: The project focuses on the demolition of several previously abandoned facilities identified in TM1, including the mechanical bar screen, aerated grit chambers, grit washer (collectively known as the “headworks”), primary clarifiers, and sand filters. Initially, the chlorine contactor was slated for demolition; however, after discussions with Veolia’s Plant Operations Manager, it was determined that the chlorine contactor is used for recycled water storage and will remain in place. Harris was responsible for delivering preliminary design, final design, bid period services, and construction phase services for the demolition of the identified abandoned facilities at the WWTP. Success Story: The Harris team delivered the project within budget and on schedule. Sludge Drying Beds 13-18 and 19-25 Rehabilitation Scope of Work: The WWTP utilizes 26 existing sludge drying beds for solar drying and dewatering purposes, and nine of them are designated for rehabilitation. The sludge drying beds that require rehabilitation will have the existing asphalt concrete cement bottoms replaced with steel-reinforced Portland cement concrete (PCC). Harris led the design portion of this project, creating plans that detail the demolition extents for the existing beds, as well as detailing plans for construction of new steel-reinforced PCC sludge bed bottoms. Harris is also coordinating with structural subconsultants to make sure the proposed designs of bed bottoms and existing retaining walls are structurally sound to withstand standard operating procedures at the WWTP. Success Story: As the project approaches the final design stage, Harris has delivered satisfactory plans and estimates while remaining well under the project’s budget.

The site’s future has been debated for more than two decades. It is now a completed full-scale renovation that is bringing the community together. The aim of the Yorba Linda Town Center project is to add state-of-the-art green and sustainable technologies to this retail gathering place, while maintaining its Old Towne charm and boosting city pride. The 10.9-acre site, with 125,000 SF of leasable space, includes: • A high-end supermarket • A luxury movie theater • Retail shops • Sit-down and fast-casual restaurants • An open space “commons” • A three-to four-story parking structure Challenges & Solutions: The project required the placement of extensive permanent BMPs (bio-swales) within the parkways along Lakeview Avenue, Imperial Highway, and Yorba Linda Boulevard, triggered by the significant amount of widening. The Harris team was able to weave an aesthetic mix of sidewalk pavers, decorative streetlights, tree wells with grates, and vegetated bio- retention swales. The swales were fed by curb-cuts in the curb and gutter and included an enhanced underground treatment with extra capacity that extended under the sidewalk and a perforated pipe collection system that outlets to adjacent downstream catch basins. The latter were required due to the non-percolating nature of the existing soil. Percolation tests of the existing soil were performed and confirmed that the native soil was not permeable and would require a sub-drain collection system. The passive nature of the bio-retention system that the Harris team proposed will reduce the City of Yorba Linda’s long-term costs because they require less maintenance than a typical off-the-shelf Filtera type unit. Success Story: Harris assisted the City in the successful transformation of the Town Center area to develop an attractive, compelling, pedestrian-friendly place where people want to relax, socialize, shop, dine and learn. This project won the APWA Southern California B.E.S.T. Historic Renovation Project of the Year Award.

The project includes complete streets elements to improve the Oak View neighborhood with specific pedestrian enhancements as follows: • Enhanced sidewalk experience and comfort for pedestrians • Calmer streets with lower vehicle speeds • Enhanced connectivity for pedestrians The Oak View neighborhood consists primarily of high-density apartments with a lack of parkway shade trees, pedestrian-level lighting and other pedestrian enhancements that are required for the neighborhood school children to get safely to Oak View Elementary School, Oak View Library, Oak View Community Center and Oak View Family Resource Center, which are located in the southwest portion of the neighborhood. The community appears to have been under served by past improvement projects such that the proposed improvements will be transformative and welcomed by the community. Success Story: The project scope improved the neighborhood streetscape via artistic crosswalk painting, traffic striping, traffic, signage, wayfinding signage, roadway improvements, landscaping and irrigation, pedestrian lighting, curb/gutter bulb outs, sidewalk, stormwater infrastructure, water quality enhancements, curb ramp upgrades, and artistic neighborhood signage to create a sense of community identity. The local community had the opportunity to provide input on the proposed improvements and color themes at several community outreach meetings that were facilitated with Spanish translators.

Anticipated tasks include street improvements, parking lot design, grading, drainage enhancements, utility coordination, preliminary planning, and cost estimation for both current and future initiatives. Selected consultants will be expected to demonstrate a proven track record in providing civil engineering services to municipal government agencies for projects of this scope and complexity. This call for civil engineering support aligns with Palm Springs’ continued investment in public infrastructure, addressing vital areas such as climate resilience, transportation, and public safety. Recent initiatives include a $50 million project on Indian Canyon Drive, spearheaded by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and funded by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). This project, focused on improving storm resilience and addressing frequent connectivity disruptions from flooding and sand, includes the construction of bridges at low-water crossings, a solar-shaded bike path, sand fencing, and a wildlife undercrossing. These improvements will enhance mobility, protect local ecosystems, and provide better access to critical services like the Desert Regional Medical Center. Additional infrastructure improvements are largely made possible by Measure J, a voter-approved, one-cent sales tax that funds major city initiatives. This one-cent sales tax generates critical funds for the city’s infrastructure, including extensive street repaving, park enhancements, and public facilities like the Palm Springs Convention Center and Plaza Theatre. Measure J funding also supports public safety enhancements and has recently allocated $9 million to street paving and rehabilitation, emphasizing the city’s dedication to maintaining and modernizing public infrastructure. Additionally, the city participates in the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), implementing signal and safety upgrades at numerous intersections to improve public safety. Palm Springs’ substantial infrastructure projects highlight the pressing need for capable civil engineering support to facilitate planning, design, and execution. Project assignments will be made solely at the City’s discretion and based on project approval and available funding, with Measure J providing a sustainable revenue model to support these essential efforts.

C.2 Discuss your team’s experience with state and federally funded projects and the procedural requirements of managing projects to comply with state and federal regulations. NAVIGATING STATE & FEDERAL REGULATIONS Harris & Associates has extensive experience managing state and federally funded projects, guiding public agencies through the complexities of regulatory frameworks like CEQA, NEPA, and other key mandates. Our team includes environmentalists with experience preparing and obtaining regulatory permits, and related monitoring and compliance reporting. This experience allows us to thoroughly evaluate the contractor’s conformance to mitigation measures and permit conditions. Our expertise includes producing high-quality environmental documentation, managing permitting processes, and facilitating grant writing and financial planning to secure essential funding. We meticulously handle procedural requirements, from environmental reviews to compliance with regulations like the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. Notable projects include developing Watsonville’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and enhancing Irvine’s Housing Element, both of which involved navigating intricate state and federal regulations. CEQA NEPA Our team includes environmentalists with experience preparing and obtaining regulatory permits, and related monitoring and compliance reporting. Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Harris & Associates, Inc.Section C: Demonstrated Understanding of the Overall Project & Requested Scope of Work 14 COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL FUNDING REQUIREMENTS To confirm compliance with the funding requirements for the Project, we will benefit from our experience administering, managing, and inspecting projects as required by Chapter 16 of the LAPM. The LAPM guides us on how we perform most of our basic functions including, but not limited to, engineer’s daily reports, project files, construction records and procedures, safety provisions, labor compliance, equal opportunity employment, disadvantaged business enterprise, contract change orders, material sampling and testing, and project safety. Our team will model your project’s documentation in alignment with the Caltrans LAPM and oversight checklist requirements. We will be prepared for Caltrans oversight and audits. The team will make our files available for their review throughout construction and will audit the project for LAPM and Construction Manual conformance periodically, in order to achieve full reimbursement of funding to the City. Our approach is rooted in the expectations set forth in the LAPM, which states, “Generally, whenever the [Local Public Agency (LPA)] is unable to produce requested records, it must be assumed by reviewing personnel that the required actions were never performed.” This is our burden to carry, a responsibility we understand, and our prior experience with cleared federal audits on federally funded projects support us in meeting this obligation. The key is organized project documentation. The ability to manage the substantial volume of paperwork on any construction project is daunting. This is why our team utilizes project management information systems, such as Newforma, for document control. C.3 Include a discussion on your approach to coordination efforts with City Staff, Caltrans, CVAG, local agencies, utility companies, other regulatory, or permitting agencies involved with the projects. COORDINATION EFFORTS During his successful 30 years of delivering civil engineering projects, with 16 years specifically serving the City of Palm Springs, Marcus Fuller has developed a reputation for his proactiveness and the strength of his communication, collaboration, and professionalism. Managing this contract will be Marcus’ primary responsibility and he will work closely with City staff to track contract capacity, listen to your feedback, and understand your needs in order to swiftly resolve your concerns, explore ways to streamline systems, and increase value on your projects. Marcus will use a structured approach that fosters open communication, defines roles, and aligns timelines. Clear Lines of Communication The city administers the delivery of dozens of projects, impacting several community groups and stakeholders. Therefore, it is vital to communicate project updates in a timely manner. Our team is committed to regular coordination meetings with City staff on a weekly or biweekly cadence to raise potential issues early, discuss upcoming milestones, and align on priorities. Marcus will serve as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to the city for project requests and designate a SPOC for each project task order, who is typically the Project Manager. The SPOC will be responsible for all lines of communication between project team members, city staff, stakeholders, and the community. Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Harris & Associates, Inc.Section C: Demonstrated Understanding of the Overall Project & Requested Scope of Work 15 C.4 Discuss how your team will identify project problems, issues or conflicts that need to be resolved and the general approach to resolving them and how your team has handled unforeseen problems on projects in the past, including any innovative or advanced techniques your team has developed. Our team takes a proactive, systematic approach to identifying and resolving project problems, issues, or conflicts to ensure successful project completion. Recognizing that scope creep, schedule management, and cost control are interrelated challenges, we use a combination of real-time monitoring tools, regular team reviews, and well-defined communication protocols to address these concerns promptly. Identifying Project Issues To identify issues early, our team leverages project management software that provides real-time data on schedule adherence, budget utilization, and any scope adjustments. We conduct regular project reviews where team members and stakeholders discuss emerging issues. By establishing clear lines of communication with design team and client representatives, we ensure a continuous flow of information on potential conflicts or deviations from the project scope, timeline, or budget. Approach to Problem Resolution When issues or conflicts arise, our team applies a structured problem-solving framework that includes identifying root causes, developing multiple solution options, and evaluating their impacts on scope, schedule, and cost. This framework allows us to balance client needs, project goals, and regulatory requirements when selecting solutions. For conflicts involving multiple parties, we facilitate collaborative meetings to align interests and expectations, aiming for resolutions that maintain project momentum. Managing Scope Creep To control scope creep, we apply a rigorous change management process that tracks all requested changes and evaluates them against project goals and constraints. We involve stakeholders in reviewing and approving any scope adjustments, ensuring that all impacts on cost and schedule are thoroughly assessed and documented before implementation. Experience with Unforseen Problems and Innovative Techniques Our team has encountered unforeseen issues on past projects, including regulatory changes and unexpected subsurface conditions. In response, we evaluate schedule impacts and implement contingency planning frameworks for rapid adjustments. One innovative technique we’ve adopted is using a risk register to prioritize and manage high-impact risks, enabling quick reallocation of resources and decision-making flexibility. Overall, our approach combines proactive issue identification, structured resolution processes, and innovative techniques to mitigate scope, schedule, and cost challenges, ensuring project goals are met efficiently and effectively. Regular reports on progress, emerging issues, and resolution actions improves accountability. Harris leverages our internal Deltek VantagePoint dashboards to effectively communicate project status during our internal Project Review Meetings. This data can be summarized in an easy to view format when working with the Measure J Oversight Commission and other stakeholders. Aligning City & Stakeholder Expectations Organizing projects into phases allows different agencies to review and provide input at designated stages, which reduces the likelihood of costly redesigns. Caltrans and CVAG, in particular, should be consulted early for any transportation-related projects to align on standards and timelines, as delays with these entities can significantly impact project schedules. Scheduling specific workshops with utility providers verifies that their infrastructure requirements and potential conflicts with project design (e.g., underground lines, poles) are addressed. For instance, electrical and water line relocations often require coordination with regulatory timelines and operational constraints, so identifying these in planning phases can help avoid roadblocks. Caltrans Coordination The Harris team has extensive experience delivering designs and managing construction of roadway improvements within Caltrans right- of-way and will proactively coordinate with Caltrans District 11 on Encroachment Permit requirements and any other applicable permit process. In addition, Harris’ experience with the LAPM and understanding of federal requirements related to federally funded projects allows us to easily navigate these requirements to document the progress of the Work and completion of the Project to satisfy federal audit requirements. Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Harris & Associates, Inc.Section C: Demonstrated Understanding of the Overall Project & Requested Scope of Work 16 C.5 Discuss your team’s approach to project controls to track project progress and expenditures, maintain critical contract documents, administer, and monitor contracts and maintain critical project information. PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH Harris is committed to making certain the City attains optimal success in every task order project. Utilizing technology such as our accounting system, Deltek Vantagepoint, we streamline our project management approach and our project management program, resource planning, and project performance tracking. Deltek Vantagepoint utilizes tracking capabilities and serves as our internal benchmark for reporting cost efficiencies to the City. This integrated system seamlessly manages all aspects of project management and accounting, facilitating real-time sharing of project information with the City on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis. Our system enables prompt internal reporting and can accommodate requests from City staff as needed. With Deltek, Harris is able to efficiently allocate resources, monitor project progress in real-time, and make informed, data-driven decisions to optimize overall performance. Furthermore, Harris’s approach to project management is based on philosophies and practices that are rooted in PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide and Standards and tailored specifically for the City. In addition to foundational best practices, we have a Harris Project Management Program that establishes our formal processes, and provides tools, training, and guidelines for Harris Contract and Project Managers. Obtaining the Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications through PMI is encouraged for all existing and new Harris Project Managers. This approach emphasizes the importance of applying all of PMI’s knowledge areas as it relates to management of a demanding project. Maintaining Software Availability and Schedule and Management Reporting Harris uses Microsoft Project to support the team’s ability to manage and track project schedules. Internal milestones and deadlines for deliverables are established for each task order with an emphasis on maintaining integrity of the critical path to achieve completion dates. Variances from the projects’ schedules and budgets may be encountered during any project. These variances could be the result of coordination issues with utility agencies, obtaining permits or approvals from regulatory agencies, or resolving unforeseen issues during the design process. As part of our process, these variances are tracked and flagged. Appropriate corrective action plans are put in place to address any variances, placing the tasks/projects back on schedule and flagging shortfalls in staffing resources, all the while keeping the City Project Manager informed. Harris’ Management Approach at the Task-Level/Role of Task Order Project Managers In addition to Marcus’ commitment to the success of the portfolio of projects assigned to Harris, the Task Order Project Managers are equally committed to the success of the projects they are assigned. Harris has assembled a team of Task Order Project Managers skilled in stormwater/ sewer/water and storm drains, streets, utility coordination, preliminary planning, cost estimating, and environmental documentation on projects. Under Marcus’ oversight, the responsibilities of the Task Order Project Managers include, but are not limited to, the following: Refinement and Concurrence with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Phase, task, and milestone deliverable schedules management Schematic design development Updating the project plan Delivery of design development (30%, 60%, 90%, and IFC- type milestones) Implementation of the Quality Assurance Program and verification of the quality control reviews Confirming the contractual obligations are entirely satisfied Exercising the (internal/external) communication plan Analyzing the key performance metrics (KPMs) at key milestones Progress reporting Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Harris & Associates, Inc.Section C: Demonstrated Understanding of the Overall Project & Requested Scope of Work 17 Managing Resources to Meet High Volume Demands Harris has prepared a comprehensive team of experienced and specialized resources to augment the City’s Engineering Services Department teams. Using Harris’ resource management tool, Marcus will be in regular contact with the Harris team and City staff to understand staffing needs and resource availability to be able to provide a suitable candidate/team at any time. Based on our history of delivering a variety of successful projects with our current teaming partners for the City, in addition to our work on the current On-Call Wastewater Engineering Services contract, we know that managing subconsultants is a complex undertaking. The best way to properly perform as a team is by literally breaking down the City’s overall scope of work to understand our collective and exact responsibilities. In addition, inviting subconsultant partners to all meetings and workshops drastically improves communications and leverages the true value of our diverse technical backgrounds for the City. Harris will manage and administer all our teaming partners and will continuously provide the City with progress on all assigned task orders and projects. Quality Control & Quality Assurance (QA/QC) Program The Harris approach to quality includes focused collaboration amongst our seasoned team members across our various service lines to deliver a well-vetted deliverable to our clients and partners. As an organization, we have developed a culture where all employee-owners are aware of and committed to quality in our processes and deliverables. Each member of the proposed Harris team will embody this “quality-oriented” mindset during the delivery of your civil engineering projects under the major maintenance program. Harris employs a “Harris Way to Quality”— a 37-page QA/ QC Manual that reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality products and services. The QA portion of the manual details the process of reducing potential errors or non-compliant deliverables. Our QA philosophy speaks to the technical components, contractual requirements, and civil engineering solutions as appropriate. The QC portion of the manual provides the measurements for performing detailed reviews and checking of all aspects of the Project work by qualified, designated team members. Randy Berry, PE, Vern Phillips, PE, and Kourosh Iranpor, PE, QSD will serve as QA/ QC Managers on the City’s Engineering Design Services contract performing project reviews, documenting these reviews, and providing technical input and guidance at agreed-to milestones to add value to the delivery process and reduce errors. We have the philosophy that QA/QC is a continuous process from conceptual design to final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) on all design projects. When several disciplines are involved in a project, combining design with construction management projects, the QA/QC Manager may also seek review assistance from other individuals specializing in those disciplines to verify that all project concepts are being met and all constructability issues are addressed prior to finalization of the plans and specifications. Listen to City concerns Complete submittal for internal review QC review to make sure minimum design standards and project goals and intents are met Complete QC checklists @ Submittal sent to City/ project stakeholders Receive and respond to comments from City/ project stakeholders Address comments from City/project stakeholders (further refine 30%, 60%, and 90% design submittals) 100% Submittal Final design and deliverables ready for bidding and construction Perform Monthly Project Review Meetings Quality Assurance/Quality Control Process Docusign Envelope ID: E2B8B78A-3C79-4E1A-BA2C-DAC7A71AB035 Harris & Associates, Inc.Section C: Demonstrated Understanding of the Overall Project & Requested Scope of Work 18 Value Engineering, Biddability, and Constructability Reviews Harris’ internal construction management and design teams work collaboratively to add an additional level of quality control by implementing a Biddability/ Constructability (B/C) review prior to the delivery of final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E). Constructability reviews assess the thoroughness and accuracy of the contract documents and identify revisions and additions that reduce questions or changes during construction. This process significantly improves bid results, construction efficiency, and project quality. Our constructability reviewers check the documents from a contractor perspective and develop a list of items to be addressed by the designer before the project is bid. Most importantly, part of our constructability review process is a back-check to confirm that your comments are addressed. Document Control A well-run project depends on the establishment and maintenance of a comprehensive project filing and management system. As part of the Harris Project Management Program, a detailed project file with the following folder structure will be utilized: 1. Accounting 2. Work Product 3. Agreements, Contracts, and Insurances 4. Project Management Plans (PMPs) 5. Communications 6. QA/QC Reviews 7. Schedules 8. Close-Out with Lessons Learned A partial list of documents that will be maintained include: • Contract documents, subconsultant agreements, insurances, and other important correspondence • Utility notifications and as-built requests • Preliminary investigation reports and technical studies, including photos and drone aerials • Basis of Design Report and supplemental technical information • Memorialized deliverables and important iterations • Environmental Applications and Permits • QA/QC reviews and checklists • Decision logs and developmental acknowledgments • Monthly invoices with progress reports • Updated project schedules Harris’ approach is built upon a thorough review of the plans and specifications to save you time and money before construction begins. C.6 Anything else the City should consider as part of this process. Responders should provide any insights or advice they feel may assist the City in implementing the Scope of Work. As the City of Palm Springs prepares to implement the Scope of Work under this on-call civil engineering services contract, we recommend considering the importance of clear, consistent communication between the City and the selected consultant(s). This is especially critical in on- call contracts, where project scope and priorities can shift. Establishing streamlined processes for issuing task orders and setting expectations early on will help make sure that work is delivered within scope, schedule, and budget. Additionally, fostering a collaborative environment with City staff, Caltrans, local agencies, and utility companies will help mitigate project delays, particularly in multi-agency coordination efforts. We also advise keeping flexibility in the approach to project management, as unforeseen conditions or regulatory changes may require adaptive strategies. Employing a proactive problem-solving approach with regular status updates will aid in resolving conflicts early and keeping projects on track.
