transaction or in the business of Contractor, and that if any such interest comes to the knowledge

indemnify and hold the City, and its elected officials, officers, employees, servants, volunteers,

relating to death or injury to any person and injury to any property, which arise out of, pertain to,
or relate to the acts, omissions, activities or operations of Contractor or any of its officers,
employees, subcontractors, Contractors, or agents in the performance of this Agreement.
Contractor shall defend Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in connection with any such
Claims with counsel of City’s choice, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including actual
attorney’s fees and experts’ costs incurred in connection with such defense. The indemnification

Claims arising out of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees.

in this Agreement, Contractor, on behalf of itself and all parties claiming under or through it,

their duties, from all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or incident to activities or
operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor.
11.4 Survival. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of
the Agreement and are 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 Contractor shall be conclusive
in favor of the Indemnitee’s right to recover under this indemnity provision.

effect for the duration of this Agreement, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or

Omega Environmental Services, Inc. (Omega) is pleased to submit this proposal to conduct a pre-demolition assessment for suspect asbestos and
lead-containing materials at the above referenced site.
Scope of Work
Pre-Demolition Asbestos and Lead Assessment
Omega will provide an EPA AHERA and State of California Certified Asbestos Professional Technicians to conduct a pre-demolition assessment
at the subject property for suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-containing materials in surface coatings and building materials.
This assessment is for the planned demolition of a single-story residence that is approximately 2,100 square feet at the subject property. A
representative number of bulk samples of each suspect material will be collected for analysis. Asbestos bulk samples will be analyzed using
polarized light microscopy (PLM) in accordance with EPA’s July 1993 method for the determination of asbestos in bulk building materials. Note
that this method cannot conclusively confirm the absence of asbestos in some materials. Therefore, negative results should be verified by an
independent analytical method such as transmission electron microscopy for floor tile or PLM 1000 Point Count for other materials. The Omega
technicians will collect samples of suspect lead painted surfaces. Suspect lead samples will be analyzed by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy
(FAAS). Omega will collect samples of ceramic tiles (if any) and the samples will be analyzed for Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC).
All suspect asbestos and lead samples will be submitted to an independent laboratory. In addition, Omega will inventory potential universal wastes
such as, the light fixtures and other electrical equipment to evaluate potential polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) containing light ballasts,
thermostats for mercury, CFC’s and exit signs for radioactive tritium. This scope of work for the assessment and sampling in the field will be
conducted within a one (1) day schedule.
Report Development
A final report will be submitted including a project summary, sampling and analytical methods, recommendations and analytical results.
Cost Estimate
Pre-Demolition Asbestos and Lead Assessment $2,325
Estimated Analytical (Based on rush 48-hour turnaround time) $1,550
40 PLM samples @ $20 each
6 Paint chip samples @ $75 each
4 TTLC samples @ $75 each
Report Development $1,250
Total Estimate: $5,125

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Rancho Cucamonga City Clerk's Office (we, us or Company) may be
required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the
terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the
DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and
Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to
‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the
DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
