REV: 04-29-2021 PR <br />ARTICLE 4. SELECTION OF CONSULTANTS AND FUNDING OF CITY COSTS <br />Section 4.01. Consultants. <br />(a) Upon entering into this Agreement, City will provide Developer with <br />information regarding the consultants, sub-consultants, and/or special legal counsel to be retained <br />by City to provide services to City regarding the Project, including the current scope and budget <br />for such Consultant. Developer agrees that City will charge actual staff time and expenses <br />attributable to the administration of Consultant Contracts entered into by City under this <br />Agreement. <br />(b) On a monthly basis, City will provide to Developer a summary report on <br />the fees incurred by City's team of Consultants and City staff, the percentage of the deposit that <br />has been expended by City on its evaluation of the Project, and the amount remaining available <br />for billing. Such summary report shall contain such detail as Developer may require in order for <br />Developer to reasonably review the appropriateness of the expenditures enumerated in the <br />summary report. <br />Section 4.02. Evergreen Deposit. <br />(a) City shall establish, and Developer shall fund, a deposit account designed <br />to ensure that City is never required to perform work for which reimbursement funds have not <br />been previously deposited (“Evergreen Deposit”). The Evergreen Deposit shall contain funds <br />necessary to cover three months’ worth of budgeted expenditures by City relating to City’s review, <br />evaluation, consideration, and processing of the Project (including any CEQA review necessary <br />for such review, evaluation, consideration, and processing). Developer shall fund the Evergreen <br />Deposit initially by depositing with City on or before the Effective Date the sum of Fifty Thousand <br />Dollars ($50,000) by wire transfer of good funds. Developer shall replenish the Evergreen Deposit <br />on a monthly basis until termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 5.03, <br />or as long as expenditures made by City relating to City’s review, evaluation, consideration, and <br />processing of Developer’s proposal for the Project remain unreimbursed, whichever is later. <br />Beginning on the Effective Date, Developer shall replenish the Evergreen Deposit when the <br />balance falls below Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), unless otherwise agreed by the City and <br />Developer, but not more often than once a month. <br />(b) In the event City determines that total invoices for any particular three- <br />month period are likely to exceed $50,000, City may request that Developer increase the total <br />funds available in the Evergreen Deposit accordingly. If Developer does not agree to increase the <br />deposited amount, City may adjust its work schedule, including through the adjustment of project <br />deadlines, so as not to exceed the amount available in the Evergreen Deposit. <br />(c) The Parties acknowledge that deposits to the Evergreen Deposit are not a <br />“source of income” within the meaning of the California Political Reform Act (pursuant to <br />California Government Code Section 87103.6). <br />(d) In no event shall City or its Consultants be obligated to perform any work <br />in connection with Developer’s proposal for the Project, including but not limited to City review, <br />evaluation, consideration, processing of Developer’s proposal, where: (1) Developer is delinquent <br />ATTY/AGR.2021.092/RWC Sequoia Station, LLC (1057 El Camino Real) (Page 3 of 9)
