<br />Page 7 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />Scope of Consultant’s Services <br /> <br />Consultant law firm is retained to provide the City the following legal services: support the <br />City’s negotiation with Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc. related to potential redevelopment of <br />solid waste transfer station located at 3110 Busch Rd, Pleasanton, CA 94566. The scope of <br />services does not include litigation services; such services, if requested, would be subject to a <br />separate retainer agreement. <br /> <br />Client designates Daniel G. Sodergren, City Attorney, as the authorized representative to direct <br />Consultant and to be the primary person to communicate with Consultant regarding the subject <br />matter of this Agreement. This designation is intended to establish a clear line of authority and to <br />minimize potential uncertainty, but not to preclude communication between Consultant and other <br />representatives of City. <br /> <br />In order to maximize efficiency and responsiveness in representing City and preserve natural <br />resources, Consultant intends to use electronic communications tools and devices (such as email, <br />electronic transfer and storage of documents, cellular telephones, and “smart phones”) to a <br />significant extent during our representation. The use of such devices under current technology <br />may place City’s confidential information and privileges at risk. However, Consultant believes <br />the effectiveness and efficiency involved in use of these devices outweighs the risk of accidental <br />disclosure, malicious access, or corruption or loss. By executing this Agreement, City <br />acknowledges City’s consent to the use of these tools and devices without any encryption or <br />other special protections or backups. <br /> <br /> <br />Compensation <br /> <br />City shall pay Consultant for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement as described more <br />particularly below. <br /> <br />Total compensation for services and reimbursement for costs shall not exceed $88,960 ; <br />Consultant will not incur fees or expenses that exceed this amount. Notwithstanding the <br />foregoing, Consultant does not guarantee that the services can be completed within the cap and <br />nothing in this Agreement or the firm’s statements to City will be construed as a promise or <br />guarantee about the outcome of this matter. <br /> <br />Consultant’s hourly billing rates are as follows: <br />Partner $440 <br />Associate III $405 <br />Associate II $390 <br />Associate I $370 <br />Planner $370 <br />Paralegal $280 <br />Law Clerk $220 <br />Of Counsel $440 <br />Senior Counsel $420 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: C902A4EA-87AE-8B5E-8251-0216E402C2CF
