et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., (“Prevailing

to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant, the City, its officials, officers, employees,
agents, or volunteers.
If Consultant’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Consultant’s
performance of “design professional” services (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 claims that arise
out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant,
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

of each employee, and shall make them available to the City or its representatives for inspection
and copy at any time during normal business hours. The City shall not be responsible for any costs
or expenses related to Consultant’s compliance with the requirements. To the same extent and
under the same conditions as Consultant, Consultant shall require all of its subcontractors, sub-
subcontractors and consultants performing any work relating to Consultant’s services or this Letter
Agreement to make the same verifications and comply with all requirements and restrictions
provided herein. Consultant's failure to comply or any material misrepresentations or omissions
relating thereto shall be grounds for terminating this Letter Agreement for cause.
By its signature hereunder, Consultant certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700
of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for
Workers’ Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that
Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the
4
Services. Finally, Consultant represents that it is an equal opportunity employer, and it shall not
discriminate against any subcontractor, employee, or applicant for employment in violation of state
or federal law. As provided for in the indemnity obligations of this Letter Agreement, Consultant
shall indemnify City against any alleged violations of this paragraph, including, but not limited to,
any fines or penalties imposed by any governmental agency.
This Letter Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

shall be brought in a state or federal court situated in Orange County, State of California. In
addition to any and all contract requirements pertaining to notices of and requests for compensation
or payment for extra work, disputed work, claims and/or changed conditions, Consultant must
comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code sections 900 et seq. prior to filing
any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims, and any subsequent lawsuit based
upon the Government Code claims, shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after
all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, claims, and/or changed conditions have
been followed by Consultant. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if any
prerequisite contractual requirements are not otherwise satisfied as specified herein, then
Consultant shall be barred from bringing and maintaining a valid lawsuit against the City.
Consultant shall not assign, sublet, or transfer this Letter Agreement or any rights under or interest
in this Letter Agreement without the written consent of the City, which may be withheld for any
reason. This Letter Agreement may not be modified or altered except in writing signed by both
parties. Except to the extent expressly provided for in the termination paragraph, there are no
intended third-party beneficiaries of any right or obligation of the Parties.
By its signature, Consultant confirms that it has no financial, contractual or other interest or
obligation that conflicts with or is harmful to performance of its obligation under this Letter
Agreement. Consultant shall further not knowingly obtain, during the term of this Letter
Agreement, such an interest or incur such an obligation, nor shall it employ or subcontract with
any person for performance of this Letter Agreement who has such incompatible interest or
obligation.
Waiver of a breach or default under this Letter Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver
of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision under this agreement. Payment of any
invoice by the City shall not constitute a waiver of the City’s right to obtain correction or
replacement of any defective or noncompliant work product.
Consultant shall maintain accounts and records, including personnel, property, and financial
records, adequate to identify and account for all costs pertaining to this Agreement and such other
records as may be deemed necessary by the City or any authorized representative. All records shall
be made available at the request of the City, with reasonable notice, during regular business hours,

Agreement.

Consultant developed for the Services in Exhibit A, except the Consultant’s notes, which pertain
to the work performed under this Agreement. The City shall have the sole right to use such
materials in its discretion and without further compensation to the Consultant, but any re-use of
such documents by the City on any other project without prior written consent of the Consultant
shall be at the sole risk of the City. Consultant shall at its sole expense provide all such documents
to the City upon request.
This is an integrated Letter Agreement representing the entire understanding of the parties as to
those matters contained herein and supersedes and cancels any prior oral or written understanding

SECTION C KNOWLEDGE
H&A is often considered a “land development firm” and it is assumed we have little experience with public agency projects.
However, all of our surveying and mapping work has been done to meet the criteria of the public agencies with jurisdiction
and was reviewed and approved by the agency staff. This issue has also been addressed in the previous proposal section
with the listing of our extensive active public agency contracts. The City of San Juan Capistrano will greatly benefit from
our extensive past and present work for both private developers and public agencies and the knowledge gained.
Orange County
H&A has processed hundreds of documents with the Orange County Surveyor staff and officially recorded materials with
the Clerk-Recorder. H&A staff process documents through these departments on a daily basis so we are up-to-date on
all aspects of the procedures and the applicable regulations.
State of California
H&A is registered as a firm with the Department of Industrial Regulation (DIR) and maintain our registration active. Our
accounting systems and staff are fully versed on the Prevailing Wage Regulations and comply with them continuously.
Since we only use Union Surveyor members, the compliance aspect is relatively easy. We are also cognizant of the
applicable Cal-OSHA policies and procedures and keep updated on any revisions and communicate them to our staff.
Our registered staff all have Professional Land Surveyor licenses and maintain their registration by complying with the
State requirements. Each one also went through the State registration process including formal education, apprenticeship,
LSIT test and experience and the PLS exam.
H&A presently has a contract with the State Department of Recreation and Parks for engineering services which has
provided insights into the functioning of state agencies for on-call contracts.
Federal Agencies
As with Cal-OSHA, H&A management keep current with the Federal OSHA policies and procedures and communicate
any changes to our staff during our routine safety briefings. Our accounting staff is aware of the Federal Acquisition
regulations (FAR) and understand their applicability; however, H&A utilizes the Safe Harbor provisions for simplicity.

SECTION F PROJECT SCOPE AND FEE
The ALTA will cover the exterior of Parcel A:
Parcel A: Proposed Horse Stable Parcel
This parcel is generally described as APN 666-232-08 which is bounded on the northeast by the storm drain
easement across Parcel G of Amended Parcel Map No.79-856 P.M.B. 176/1-8, bounded on the northwest and
southwest by the parcel lines of Parcel G and bounded on the southeast by the northerly edge of San Juan Creek Multi-
use Trail.
Per the discussion with Mr. Steve May we were informed as to the intent of the survey and what the city needs shown.
The following additional details were discussed and agreed upon.
1) The northerly edge of San Juan Creek Multi-use Trail will be located every 25 feet. That alignment will be
defined by a best fit series of curvilinear and linear lines. The land lying southeasterly of that northwesterly side
of the trail will be retained by the City. Consequently, the legal and plat for the land to be conveyed will be that
portion lying northwesterly of that northwesterly edge of the trail.
2) SMWD will mark the sewer and water lines in the field and the survey will geolocate these utilities based on the
SMWD markings. Legal descriptions and plats will be prepared for the sewer line and for the water line.
Easements for those utilities will be conveyed by the City to SMWD prior to conveyance of the land to another
party by separate deeds for each utility. The legal descriptions will be Exhibits “A” and the two plats will be
Exhibits “B”. These easements should be 20’ wide, centered on the located utilities and shown on the ALTA
map as “proposed easements to SMWD”.
3)Prepare a legal and plat for the land to be conveyed.
4)No planimetrics are required internal to the horse stable property including buildings.
Scope of Work and Cost:
1. Field Survey. .............................................................................$ 14,500
•1 days of Boundary (see note in Assumptions)
•1 days of ALTA

Exhibit "A", Page 9 of 10
Page 9
Assumptions:
1.The surveys shall conform to the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title
Surveys” as adopted in 2021, and shall include Items 4, 8, 19, 20(a) and 20(b) of Table A thereof. Any
additional items and certification required by a lender or others will be an extra to this contract and will be
negotiated at that time.
2.The above estimates for boundary research, analysis and field survey are based on the assumption that
sufficient adjacent centerline monumentation of record exists and are easily accessible surrounding the
property allowing for the boundary to efficiently be established definitively. Due to the nature of boundary
surveying actual field conditions may not match these assumptions. If that is the case or a material
discrepancy is found, work will be stopped and client will be notified of the issue and an estimate of time to
complete.
3.Client to provide a current title report before commencement of the survey or authorize an extra to obtain
title report.
4.Client to provide reasonable access to the site to avoid delays to the survey. If access is denied work will
be stopped until the client can provide access.
5. This contract does not include updates to the survey based on title report changes or site condition
changes that occur after the commencement of the field survey. Those updates will be negotiated under a
separate contract.
6. California State Law requires that under certain circumstances, excluding subdivision, a record of survey
must be filed. If any of those circumstances arise during the course of the survey, work will be stopped and
the client will be notified as to the reason and cost to complete the survey and work will recommence once
a contract is agreed upon as to said record of survey.
7.Any consultations with lenders council, title or others with an interest in the survey after delivery will be
billed at time and materials and is not part of the scope of this project.
8. The above ALTA also assumes that offsite appurtenant easement are not part of the survey.
9. Contract does not include a legal description for the parcels above.

to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant, the City, its officials, officers, employees,
agents, or volunteers.
If Consultant’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Consultant’s
performance of “design professional” services (as that term is defined under Civil Code section

incorporated herein, Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that arise

subcontractors and consultants performing any work relating to Consultant’s services or this Letter
Agreement to make the same verifications and comply with all requirements and restrictions
provided herein. Consultant's failure to comply or any material misrepresentations or omissions
relating thereto shall be grounds for terminating this Letter Agreement for cause.

of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for
Workers’ Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that
Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the

This Letter Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
If any action is brought to interpret or enforce any term of this Letter Agreement, then the action
shall be brought in a state or federal court situated in Orange County, State of California. In
addition to any and all contract requirements pertaining to notices of and requests for compensation
or payment for extra work, disputed work, claims and/or changed conditions, Consultant must
comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code sections 900 et seq. prior to filing
any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims, and any subsequent lawsuit based
upon the Government Code claims, shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after
all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, claims, and/or changed conditions have
been followed by Consultant. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if any
prerequisite contractual requirements are not otherwise satisfied as specified herein, then
Consultant shall be barred from bringing and maintaining a valid lawsuit against the City.
Consultant shall not assign, sublet, or transfer this Letter Agreement or any rights under or interest
in this Letter Agreement without the written consent of the City, which may be withheld for any
reason. This Letter Agreement may not be modified or altered except in writing signed by both
parties. Except to the extent expressly provided for in the termination paragraph, there are no
intended third-party beneficiaries of any right or obligation of the Parties.
By its signature, Consultant confirms that it has no financial, contractual or other interest or
obligation that conflicts with or is harmful to performance of its obligation under this Letter
Agreement. Consultant shall further not knowingly obtain, during the term of this Letter
Agreement, such an interest or incur such an obligation, nor shall it employ or subcontract with
any person for performance of this Letter Agreement who has such incompatible interest or
obligation.
Waiver of a breach or default under this Letter Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver
of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision under this agreement. Payment of any
invoice by the City shall not constitute a waiver of the City’s right to obtain correction or
replacement of any defective or noncompliant work product.
Consultant shall maintain accounts and records, including personnel, property, and financial
records, adequate to identify and account for all costs pertaining to this Agreement and such other
records as may be deemed necessary by the City or any authorized representative. All records shall

and shall be retained by Consultant for a period of three (3) years after the expiration of this
Agreement.

and construction staking
Exhibit "A", Page 4 of 10
Page 5
SECTION C KNOWLEDGE
H&A is often considered a “land development firm” and it is assumed we have little experience with public agency projects.
However, all of our surveying and mapping work has been done to meet the criteria of the public agencies with jurisdiction
and was reviewed and approved by the agency staff. This issue has also been addressed in the previous proposal section
with the listing of our extensive active public agency contracts. The City of San Juan Capistrano will greatly benefit from
our extensive past and present work for both private developers and public agencies and the knowledge gained.
Orange County
H&A has processed hundreds of documents with the Orange County Surveyor staff and officially recorded materials with
the Clerk-Recorder. H&A staff process documents through these departments on a daily basis so we are up-to-date on
all aspects of the procedures and the applicable regulations.
State of California
H&A is registered as a firm with the Department of Industrial Regulation (DIR) and maintain our registration active. Our
accounting systems and staff are fully versed on the Prevailing Wage Regulations and comply with them continuously.
Since we only use Union Surveyor members, the compliance aspect is relatively easy. We are also cognizant of the
applicable Cal-OSHA policies and procedures and keep updated on any revisions and communicate them to our staff.
Our registered staff all have Professional Land Surveyor licenses and maintain their registration by complying with the
State requirements. Each one also went through the State registration process including formal education, apprenticeship,
LSIT test and experience and the PLS exam.
H&A presently has a contract with the State Department of Recreation and Parks for engineering services which has
provided insights into the functioning of state agencies for on-call contracts.
Federal Agencies
As with Cal-OSHA, H&A management keep current with the Federal OSHA policies and procedures and communicate
any changes to our staff during our routine safety briefings. Our accounting staff is aware of the Federal Acquisition
regulations (FAR) and understand their applicability; however, H&A utilizes the Safe Harbor provisions for simplicity.

SECTION F PROJECT SCOPE AND FEE
The ALTA will cover the exterior of Parcel A:
Parcel A: Proposed Horse Stable Parcel
This parcel is generally described as APN 666-232-08 which is bounded on the northeast by the storm drain
easement across Parcel G of Amended Parcel Map No.79-856 P.M.B. 176/1-8, bounded on the northwest and
southwest by the parcel lines of Parcel G and bounded on the southeast by the northerly edge of San Juan Creek Multi-
use Trail.
Per the discussion with Mr. Steve May we were informed as to the intent of the survey and what the city needs shown.
The following additional details were discussed and agreed upon.
1) The northerly edge of San Juan Creek Multi-use Trail will be located every 25 feet. That alignment will be
defined by a best fit series of curvilinear and linear lines. The land lying southeasterly of that northwesterly side
of the trail will be retained by the City. Consequently, the legal and plat for the land to be conveyed will be that
portion lying northwesterly of that northwesterly edge of the trail.
2) SMWD will mark the sewer and water lines in the field and the survey will geolocate these utilities based on the
SMWD markings. Legal descriptions and plats will be prepared for the sewer line and for the water line.
Easements for those utilities will be conveyed by the City to SMWD prior to conveyance of the land to another
party by separate deeds for each utility. The legal descriptions will be Exhibits “A” and the two plats will be
Exhibits “B”. These easements should be 20’ wide, centered on the located utilities and shown on the ALTA
map as “proposed easements to SMWD”.
3)Prepare a legal and plat for the land to be conveyed.
4)No planimetrics are required internal to the horse stable property including buildings.
Scope of Work and Cost:
1. Field Survey. .............................................................................$ 14,500

Exhibit "A", Page 9 of 10
Page 9
Assumptions:
1.The surveys shall conform to the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title
Surveys” as adopted in 2021, and shall include Items 4, 8, 19, 20(a) and 20(b) of Table A thereof. Any
additional items and certification required by a lender or others will be an extra to this contract and will be
negotiated at that time.
2.The above estimates for boundary research, analysis and field survey are based on the assumption that
sufficient adjacent centerline monumentation of record exists and are easily accessible surrounding the
property allowing for the boundary to efficiently be established definitively. Due to the nature of boundary
surveying actual field conditions may not match these assumptions. If that is the case or a material
discrepancy is found, work will be stopped and client will be notified of the issue and an estimate of time to
complete.
3.Client to provide a current title report before commencement of the survey or authorize an extra to obtain
title report.
4.Client to provide reasonable access to the site to avoid delays to the survey. If access is denied work will
be stopped until the client can provide access.
5. This contract does not include updates to the survey based on title report changes or site condition
changes that occur after the commencement of the field survey. Those updates will be negotiated under a
separate contract.
6. California State Law requires that under certain circumstances, excluding subdivision, a record of survey
must be filed. If any of those circumstances arise during the course of the survey, work will be stopped and
the client will be notified as to the reason and cost to complete the survey and work will recommence once
a contract is agreed upon as to said record of survey.
7.Any consultations with lenders council, title or others with an interest in the survey after delivery will be
billed at time and materials and is not part of the scope of this project.
8. The above ALTA also assumes that offsite appurtenant easement are not part of the survey.
9. Contract does not include a legal description for the parcels above.
