1. Consultant Responsibilities: Consultant shall perform its services in accordance with
generally accepted standards of professional practice in Southern California in effect at the time
of performance. Consultant makes no warranty, either express or implied, as to its findings,
recommendations, plans, specifications, surveys, or professional advice. Consultant’s services

an independent contractor and not an employee of Client.
2. Insurance: Consultant shall obtain and maintain in full force, at its own expense, liability
insurance coverage as required by the client and agreed to by Alan Palermo Consulting.
3. Indemnification: Each party shall hold harmless and indemnify the other party from and

other parties are liable in addition to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall pay
only an amount proportional to its degree of culpability.
4. Documents: All of Consultant’s work product and other documents prepared under this
Agreement are instruments of service. Consultant grants ownership to Client of its documents
prepared under this Agreement, provided Client has paid Consultant all amounts to which the
Consultant is entitled. Consultant shall not be liable for the use of its plans, specifications,
surveys, and other documents on a project other than that for which they were prepared.

removal, abatement, or disposal of asbestos or hazardous or toxic substances, products or
materials. The Consultant is not responsible for the construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs, since these are solely the
construction contractor’s rights and responsibilities. If Consultant is requested to review anything
from a construction contractor or supplier, the review is for the limited purpose of checking for
conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the construction
documents, and not for the purpose of determining accuracy or completeness or safety
precautions, all of which remain the construction contractor’s responsibility. Consultant does not
perform geotechnical services and is not responsible for soils or geological conditions.
6. Cost Estimates: Since the Consultant has no control over the cost of labor, materials or
equipment, over the construction contractor’s methods of determining bid prices, or over
competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions, the Consultant cannot and does not
warrant or represent that bids will not vary from any estimates of construction cost.
7. Delays: Consultant is not responsible for delay caused by activities or factors beyond
Consultant’s reasonable control, including but not limited to strikes, lockouts, work slowdowns
or stoppages, accidents, acts of God, failure of Client to furnish timely information or promptly
Alan Palermo Consulting
approve or disapprove of Consultant’s services or instruments of service, or faulty performance
or delay by Client, contractors, or government agencies.
8. Suspension of Services: Client may suspend the Consultant’s performance of services by
written notice to Consultant, provided Client pays Consultant for all services performed prior to
the effective date of suspension. Consultant may suspend its services if Client fails to pay

Consultant, provided Client pays Consultant for all services performed prior to the effective date
of termination. Consultant may terminate this Agreement upon ten days notice of breach by
Client, including nonpayment of undisputed fees, provided Client does not cure such breach

to the effective date of termination.
