6. Status as Independent Consultant.
A. Consultant is, and shall at all times remain as to City, a wholly independent
contractor. Consultant shall have no power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability on behalf of City or
otherwise act on behalf of City as an agent. Neither City nor any of its agents shall have control over the
conduct of Consultant or any of Consultant's employees, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant
shall not, at any time, or in any manner, represent that it or any of its agents or employees are in any
manner agents or employees of City.
B. Consultant agrees to pay all required taxes on amounts paid to Consultant under
this Agreement, and to indemnify and hold City harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties,
and interest asserted against City by reason of the independent contractor relationship created by this
Agreement. In the event that City is audited by any Federal or State agency regarding the independent
contractor status of Consultant and the audit in any way fails to sustain the validity of a wholly independent
contractor relationship between City and Consultant, then Consultant agrees to reimburse City for all costs,
including accounting and attorney's fees, arising out of such audit and any appeals relating thereto.
C. Consultant shall fully comply with the workers' compensation law regarding
Consultant and Consultant's employees. Consultant further agrees to indemnify and hold City harmless
from any failure of Consultant to comply with applicable worker's compensation laws. City shall have the
right to offset against the amount of any fees due to Consultant under this Agreement any amount due to
City from Consultant as a result of Consultant's failure to promptly pay to City any reimbursement or
indemnification arising under this Section 6.
7. Standard of Performance. Consultant shall perform all work to the highest professional
standards and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the City Manager or the City Manager's designee.
S. Indemnification. Consultant is skilled in the professional calling necessary to perform
the services and duties agreed to be performed under this Agreement, and City is relying upon the skill and
knowledge of Consultant to perform those services and duties. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Consultant hereby agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless
the City of Diamond Bar and its elected officials, officers, attorneys, agents, employees, volunteers,
successors, and assigns (collectively • Indemnitees• ) from and against any and all damages, costs,
expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, expenses, judgments, penalties, liens,
and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of accountants, attorneys, or other professionals and all
costs associated therewith, arising or claimed to arise, directly or indirectly, out of, in connection with,
resulting from, or related to any act, failure to act, error, or omission of Consultant or any of its officers,
agents, servants, employees, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers or their officers, agents, servants or
employees, arising or claimed to arise, directly or indirectly, out of, in connection with, resulting from, or
related to this Agreement or the performance or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant, or
condition of the Agreement, including this indemnity provision. This indemnity provision is effective
regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by Indemnitees and shall
operate to fully indemnify Indemnitees against any such negligence. This indemnity provision shall
survive the termination of the Agreement and is in addition to any other rights or remedies which
Indemnitees may have under the law. Payment is not required as a condition precedent to an Indemnitee's
right to recover under this indemnity provision, and an entry of judgment against an Indemnitee shall be
conclusive in favor of the Indemnitee's right to recover under this indemnity provision. Consultant shall
pay Indemnitees for any attorneys fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnification provision.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this instrument shall be construed to encompass (a) Indemnitees'
sole negligence or willful misconduct to the limited extent that the underlying Agreement is subject to
� nsn0000i 4/Jo 4 P -r 2
Civil Code § 2782(a) or (b) the contracting public agency's active negligence to the limited extent that the
underlying Agreement is subject to Civil Code § 2782(b). This indemnity is effective without reference to
the existence or applicability of any insurance coverages which may have been required under the
Agreement or any additional insured endorsements which may extend to Indemnitees.
Consultant, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it, hereby waives all rights of
subrogation and contribution against the Indemnitees, while acting within the scope of their duties, from all
claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or operations performed by or on behalf
of the Consultant regardless of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent active or passive negligence by the
Indemnitees.
In the event there is more than one person or entity named in the Agreement as a Consultant, then all
obligations, liabilities, covenants and conditions under this Section 8 shall be joint and several.

coverage.
B. Consultant agrees that if it does not keep the insurance in full force and effect, and

Dear Mr. Tarango:
This is to advise you that we have received a Certificate
of Insurance showing both General Liability and Auto.
However, on the Additional Insured document it only
indicates Commercial General Liability coverage and
excludes Auto. Also, we are still in need of
Certificates of Insurance for both Worker's Compensation
and Professional Liability. In regards to General
Liability, Auto and Professional Liability we also need
"Primary" wording.

Re: Inspection Services for Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program
Irrigation Installation and Tree Planting Project along Route 57 and 60 Freeways in
Diamond Bar
Dear Mr. Rose:
Per your requests, D&J Engineering is pleased to submit this letter of proposal for inspection
services for the Environmental enhancement and Mitigation Program Irrigation installation
and Tree Planting Project along Route 57 and 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar.
D&J ENGINEERING is a dynamic company which brings together the talents of its two
principals, Joseph F. Buzzone, P.E. and Dennis A. Tarango, C.B.O., who have over fifty
years of experience in providing municipal engineering, plan check, inspection and
administrative service to numerous cities. Mr. Buzzone has extensive engineering experience
in both the private and public sectors, including twelve years as plan check engineer with the
City of Long Beach. Mr. Tarango has over ten years administrative experience as Building
Official for both the Cities of San Marino and Diamond Bar. He has also served as interim
Community Development Director for the City of Diamond Bar. Previously, Mr. Tarango
provided building inspection for the Cities of Arcadia and Pico Rivera.
D&J ENGINEERING was formed to assist local municipalities in meeting the
overwhelming demands of today's fluctuating constriction trends. The firm is sensitive to
the budgetary constraints placed on local government during these difficult times. Their goal
is to offer high-quality professional services at a competitive fee structure.
PROJECT TEAM
D&J ENGINEERING has designated Mr. Roger Deutschman, ASLA as the project
inspector, Mr. Joseph F. Buzzone, P.E. as Project Engineer and Mr. Dennis Tarango
as the contact person. Project Inspector resume is attached.
The following highlights some of the engineering projects which the staff of D&J
ENGINEERING has administrated:
• Rehabilitation Program on the Harbor Blvd. Street Widening and Parks
Improvement Project - City of Anaheim
• Design Development Program for the major Long Beach - Los Angeles
Light Rail Transit Project
• Street widening - City of Irwindale
• Water lines, sewer, and storm drains - City of San Marino
• Street lighting project - City of Irwindale
• $1,000,000 widening of Long Beach Boulevard - City of Lynwood
• $200,000 citywide lighting project - City of Lynwood
• $400,000 traffic signal improvement project - City of Lynwood
• Installation of water purification equipment and facilities - City of

D&J ENGINEERING does not perform any design or ancillary function that might
create a conflict of interest, as the company only provides consulting services to the
public sector.

liability and professional liability (errors and omissions).
We appreciate the opportunity to offer this proposal to the City of Diamond Bar, and
look forward to serving your inspection needs.
