5.2 Records/Audit. Records of Consultant’s direct personnel payroll, reimbursable expenses
pertaining to this Agreement and records of accounts between City and Consultant must be
kept on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and must be made available to
City and its auditors for up to three years following City’s final acceptance of the services
under this Agreement (this requirement is increased to five years if construction of this
project is federally funded). City, its authorized representative, or any federal agency,
reserves the right to audit Consultant’s records to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of
all cost and pricing data, including data used to negotiate this Agreement and any
amendments. City reserves the right to decrease the total amount of Agreement price or
payments made under this Agreement or request reimbursement from Consultant following
final Agreement payment on this Agreement if, upon audit of Consultant’s records, the audit
discloses Consultant has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate cost and pricing data.
Consultant will include a similar provision in all of its Agreements with subconsultants who
provide services under the Agreement to ensure that City, its authorized representative, or
Project Name: Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well Siting
Page 4
Project No.: WW2403.101
Rev. 1/12/2024
the appropriate federal agency, has access to the subconsultants’ records to verify the
accuracy of all cost and pricing data. City reserves the right to decrease Agreement price or
payments made on this Agreement or request reimbursement from Consultant following
final payment on this Agreement if the above provision is not included in subconsultant
agreements, and one or more subconsultants refuse to allow City to audit their records to
verify the accuracy and appropriateness of all cost and pricing data. If, following an audit of
this Agreement, the audit discloses Consultant has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate
cost and pricing data, and the cost discrepancies exceed 1% of the total Agreement billings,
Consultant will be liable for reimbursement of the reasonable, actual cost of the audit.
5.3 Alteration in Character of Work. Whenever an alteration in the character of work results
in a substantial change in this Agreement, thereby materially increasing or decreasing the
scope of services, cost of performance, or Project schedule, the work will be performed as
directed by City. However, before any modified work is started, a written amendment must
be approved and executed by City and Consultant. Such amendment must not be effective
until approved by City. Additions to, modifications, or deletions from this Agreement as
provided herein may be made, and the compensation to be paid to Consultant may
accordingly be adjusted by mutual agreement of the Parties. It is distinctly understood and
agreed that no claim for extra services or materials furnished by Consultant will be allowed
by City except as provided herein, nor must Consultant do any work or furnish any materials
not covered by this Agreement unless such work is first authorized in writing. Any such work
or materials furnished by Consultant without prior written authorization will be at
Consultant’s own risk, cost, and expense, and Consultant hereby agrees that without written
authorization Consultant will make no claim for compensation for such work or materials
furnished.
5.4 Termination. City and Consultant hereby agree to the full performance of the covenants
contained herein, except that City reserves the right, at its discretion and without cause, to
terminate or abandon any service provided for in this Agreement, or abandon any portion of
the Project for which services have been performed by Consultant. In the event City abandons
or suspends the services, or any part of the services as provided in this Agreement, City will
notify Consultant in writing and immediately after receiving such notice, Consultant must
discontinue advancing the work specified under this Agreement. Upon such termination,
abandonment, or suspension, Consultant must deliver to City all drawings, plans,
specifications, special provisions, estimates and other work entirely or partially completed,
together with all unused materials supplied by City. Consultant must appraise the work
Consultant has completed and submit Consultant’s appraisal to City for evaluation. City may
inspect Consultant’s work to appraise the work completed. Consultant will receive
compensation in full for services performed to the date of such termination. The fee will be
paid in accordance with Section Ill of this Agreement, and as mutually agreed upon by
Consultant and City. If there is no mutual agreement on payment, the final determination will
be made in accordance with the "Disputes" provision in this Agreement. However, in no event
may the fee exceed the fee set forth in Section Ill of this Agreement nor as amended in
accordance with Section "Alteration in Character of Work." City will make the final payment
within 60 days after Consultant has delivered the last of the partially completed items and
the Parties agree on the final fee. If City is found to have improperly terminated the
Agreement for cause or default, the termination will be converted to a termination for
convenience in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

5.5 Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Consultant ("lndemnitor") must
indemnify, save and hold harmless City and its officers, officials, agents and employees
("lndemnitee") from any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses or expenses
(including court costs, attorneys' fees and costs of claim processing, investigation and
litigation) ("Claims") caused or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the wrongful,
negligent or willful acts, or errors or omissions of Consultant or any of its owners, officers,
directors, agents, employees, or subconsultants in connection with this Agreement. This
indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under workers'
compensation law or on account of the failure of Consultant to conform to any federal, state
or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. Consultant must indemnify
lndemnitee from and against any and all Claims, except those arising solely from
lndemnitee's own negligent or willful acts or omissions. Consultant is responsible for primary
loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification applies. In
consideration of the award of this Agreement, Consultant agrees to waive all rights of
subrogation against lndemnitee for losses arising from or related to this Agreement. The
obligations of Consultant under this provision survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
5.6 Insurance Requirements. Consultant must procure insurance under the terms and
conditions and for the amounts of coverage set forth in Exhibit “C” against claims that may
arise from or relate to performance of the work under this Agreement by Consultant and its
agents, representatives, employees, and subconsultants. Consultant and any subconsultant
must maintain this insurance until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any
warranty periods under this Agreement. These insurance requirements are minimum
requirements for this Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in
this Agreement. City in no way warrants that the minimum limits stated in Exhibit “C” are
sufficient to protect Consultant from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the
work under this Agreement by Consultant, Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees,
or subconsultants. Consultant is free to purchase such additional insurance as may be
determined necessary.
5.7 Cooperation and Further Documentation. Consultant agrees to provide City such other
duly executed documents as may be reasonably requested by City to implement the intent
of this Agreement.
5.8 Successors and Assigns. City and Consultant each bind itself, its partners, successors,
assigns, and legal representatives to the other party to this Agreement and to the partners,
successors, assigns, and legal representatives of such other party in respect to all covenants
of this Agreement. Neither City nor Consultant may assign, sublet, or transfer its interest in
this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. In no event may any
contractual relation be created between any third party and City.
5.9 Disputes. In any dispute arising out of an interpretation of this Agreement or the duties
required not disposed of by agreement between Consultant and City, the final determination
at the administrative level will be made by City Engineer.

5.10 Completeness and Accuracy of Consultant’s Work. Consultant must be responsible for
the completeness and accuracy of Consultant’s services, data, and other work prepared or
compiled under Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement and must correct, at
Consultant’s expense, all willful or negligent errors, omissions, or acts that may be discovered.
Correction of errors disclosed and determined to exist during any construction of the project on
architectural or engineering drawings and specifications must be accomplished by Consultant.
The cost of the design necessary to correct those errors attributable to Consultant and any
damage incurred by City as a result of additional construction costs caused by such engineering
or architectural errors will be chargeable to Consultant and will not be considered a cost of the
Work. The fact that City has accepted or approved Consultant’s work will in no way relieve
Consultant of any of Consultant’s responsibilities.
5.11 Reporting. Written monthly reports, along with updated work schedules, will be made by
Consultant in the format prescribed by City. These reports will be delivered to City per schedule.
When requested by City, Consultant will attend Council meetings and provide finished documents
including correspondence for Council action, supporting charts, graphs, drawings and colored
slides of same.
5.12 Withholding Payment. City reserves the right to withhold funds from Consultant’s
payments up to the amount equal to the claims City may have against Consultant until such
time that a settlement on those claims has been reached.
5.13 City's Right of Cancellation. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is subject to
cancellation by City under the provisions of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.).
5.14 Independent Consultant. For this Agreement Consultant constitutes an independent
contractor. Any provisions in this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct
Consultant as to the details of accomplishing the work or to exercise a measure of control
over the work means that Consultant must follow the wishes of City as to the results of the
work only. These results must comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.
5.15 Project Staffing. Prior to the start of any work under this Agreement, Consultant must
submit to City detailed resumes of key personnel that will be involved in performing services
prescribed in the Agreement. City hereby acknowledges its acceptance of such personnel to
perform services under this Agreement. At any time hereafter that Consultant desires to
change key personnel while performing under the Agreement, Consultant must submit the
qualifications of the new personnel to City for prior approval. Key personnel include, but are
not limited to, principals-in-charge, project manager, and project Consultant. Consultant will
maintain an adequate and competent staff of qualified persons, as may be determined by
City, throughout the performance of this Agreement to ensure acceptable and timely
completion of the Scope of Services. If City objects, with reasonable cause, to any of
Consultant’s staff, Consultant must take prompt corrective action acceptable to City and, if
required, remove such personnel from the Project and replace with new personnel agreed to
by City.
5.16 Consultants or Subconsultants. Prior to beginning the work, Consultant must furnish City
for approval the names of consultants or subconsultants to be used under this Agreement.
Any subsequent changes are subject to City’s written prior approval.

5.17 Force Majeure. If either party is delayed or prevented from the performance of any act
required under this Agreement by reason of acts of God or other cause beyond the control
and without fault of the Party (financial inability excepted), performance of that act may be
excused, but only for the period of the delay, if the Party provides written notice to the other
Party within ten days of such act. The time for performance of the act may be extended for a
period equivalent to the period of delay from the date written notice is received by the other
Party.
5.18 Compliance with Federal Laws. Consultant understands and acknowledges the
applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act
of 1986 and the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989 to it. Consultant agrees to comply with these
laws in performing this Agreement and to permit City to verify such compliance.
5.19 No Israel Boycott. By entering into this Agreement, Consultant certifies that Consultant
is not currently engaged in, and agrees for the duration of the Agreement, not to engage in a
boycott of Israel as defined by state statute.
5.20 Legal Worker Requirements. A.R.S. § 41-4401 prohibits City from awarding an Agreement
to any consultant who fails, or whose subconsultants fail, to comply with A.R.S. § 23-214(A).
Therefore, Consultant agrees Consultant and each subconsultant it uses warrants their
compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to their employees
and their compliance with § 23-214, subsection A. A breach of this warranty will be deemed a
material breach of the Agreement and may be subject to penalties up to and including
termination of the Agreement. City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Consultant’s or subconsultant’s employee who provides services under this Agreement to
ensure that Consultant and subconsultants comply with the warranty under this provision.
5.21 Lawful Presence Requirement. A.R.S. §§ 1-501 and 1-502 prohibit City from awarding an
Agreement to any natural person who cannot establish that such person is lawfully present
in the United States. To establish lawful presence, a person must produce qualifying
identification and sign a City-provided affidavit affirming that the identification provided is
genuine. This requirement will be imposed at the time of Agreement award. This requirement
does not apply to business organizations such as corporations, partnerships, or limited
liability companies.
5.22 Covenant Against Contingent Fees. Consultant warrants that no person has been
employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an agreement or
understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, and that no
member of the Chandler City Council, or any City employee has any interest, financially, or
otherwise, in Consultant’s firm. For breach or violation of this warrant, City may annul this
Agreement without liability or, at its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or
consideration, the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.
5.23 Non-Waiver Provision. The failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement or to require performance of the other Party of any of the provisions hereof must
not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor must it affect the validity of this
Project Name: Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well Siting
Page 8
Project No.: WW2403.101
Rev. 1/12/2024
Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of either Party to thereafter enforce each and
every provision.
5.24 Disclosure of Information Adverse to City’s Interests. To evaluate and avoid potential
conflicts of interest, Consultant must provide written notice to City, as set forth in this Section,
of any work or services performed by Consultant for third parties that may involve or be
associated with any real property or personal property owned or leased by City. Such notice
must be given 7 business days prior to commencement of the services by Consultant for a
third party, or 7 business days prior to an adverse action as defined below. Written notice
and disclosure must be sent in accordance with Section 6.7 above. An adverse action under
this Agreement includes, but is not limited to: (a) using data as defined in the Agreement
acquired in connection with this Agreement to assist a third party in pursuing administrative
or judicial action against City; or (b) testifying or providing evidence on behalf of any person
in connection with an administrative or judicial action against City; or (c) using data to produce
income for Consultant or its employees independently of performing the services under this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of City. Consultant represents that except for
those persons, entities, and projects identified to City, the services performed by Consultant
under this Agreement are not expected to create an interest with any person, entity, or third
party project that is or may be adverse to City’s interests. Consultant’s failure to provide a
written notice and disclosure of the information as set forth in this Section constitute a
material breach of this Agreement.
5.25 Data Confidentiality and Data Security. As used in the Agreement, "data" means all
information, whether written or verbal, including plans, photographs, studies, investigations,
audits, analyses, samples, reports, calculations, internal memos, meeting minutes, data field
notes, work product, proposals, correspondence and any other similar documents or
information prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to Consultant or its subconsultants in
the performance of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all data, regardless of form,
including originals, images, and reproductions, prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to
Consultant or its subconsultants in connection with Consultant’s or its subconsultant’s
performance of this Agreement is confidential and proprietary information belonging to City.
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Consultant or its subconsultants must not
divulge data to any third party without City’s prior written consent. Consultant or its
subconsultants must not use the data for any purposes except to perform the services
required under this Agreement. These prohibitions do not apply to the following data
provided to Consultant or its subconsultants have first given the required notice to City: (a)
data which was known to Consultant or its subconsultants prior to its performance under this
Consultant or its subconsultants by a third party, who to the best of Consultant’s or its
subconsultants’ knowledge and belief, had the legal right to make such disclosure and
Consultant or its subconsultants are not otherwise required to hold such data in confidence;
or (c) data which is required to be disclosed by virtue of law, regulation, or court order, to
which Consultant or its subconsultants are subject. In the event Consultant or its
subconsultants are required or requested to disclose data to a third party, or any other
information to which Consultant or its subconsultants became privy as a result of any other
Agreement with City, Consultant must first notify City as set forth in this Section of the request
or demand for the data. Consultant or its subconsultants must give City sufficient facts so
that City can be given an opportunity to first give its consent or take such action that City may
deem appropriate to protect such data or other information from disclosure. All data must

Page 9
Project No.: WW2403.101
Rev. 1/12/2024
continue to be subject to the confidentiality agreements of this Agreement. Consultant or its
subconsultants assume all liability to maintain the confidentiality of the data in its possession
and agrees to compensate City if any of the provisions of this Section are violated by
Consultant, its employees, agents or subconsultants. Solely for the purposes of seeking
injunctive relief, it is agreed that a breach of this Section must be deemed to cause irreparable
harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. Consultant agrees that the requirements of this
Section must be incorporated into all subagreements entered into by Consultant. A violation
of this Section may result in immediate termination of this Agreement without notice.
5.26 Personal Identifying Information-Data Security. Personal identifying information,
financial account information, or restricted City information, whether electronic format or
hard copy, must be secured and protected at all times by Consultant or its subconsultants. At
a minimum, Consultant or its subconsultants must encrypt or password-protect electronic
files. This includes data saved to laptop computers, computerized devices, or removable
storage devices. When personal identifying information, financial account information, or
restricted City information, regardless of its format, is no longer necessary, the information
must be redacted or destroyed through appropriate and secure methods that ensure the
information cannot be viewed, accessed, or reconstructed. In the event that data collected or
obtained by Consultant or its subconsultants in connection with this Agreement is believed
to have been compromised, Consultant or its subconsultants must immediately notify City
contact. Consultant agrees to reimburse City for any costs incurred by City to investigate
potential breaches of this data and, where applicable, the cost of notifying individuals who
may be impacted by the breach. Consultant agrees that the requirements of this Section must
be incorporated into all subcontracts entered into by Consultant. It is further agreed that a
violation of this Section must be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive
relief in court. A violation of this Section may result in immediate termination of this
Agreement without notice. The obligations of Consultant or its subconsultants under this
Section must survive the termination of this Agreement.
5.27 Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is made under and must be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to the
conflicts or choice of law provisions thereof. Any action to enforce any provision of this
Agreement or to obtain any remedy with respect hereto must be brought in the courts
located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and for this purpose, each Party hereby expressly and
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such court.
5.28 Survival. All warranties, representations, and indemnifications by Consultant must
survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.
5.29 Modification. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, no supplement,
modification, or amendment of any term of this Agreement will be deemed binding or
effective unless in writing and signed by the Parties.
5.30 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application to any person or
circumstance may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Agreement and the application will not be affected and will be enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

Chandler Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Well Siting Study
(Matrix Project No. 24-0843)
ATTACHMENT I – SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1.0
ASR-8 Well Evaluation
Subtask 1.1 Kickoff Meeting, Hydrogeologic Analysis, HASP
Matrix will attend an in person kickoff meeting (Meeting #1) with City personnel and the Pump Contractor.
The intent of the kickoff meeting is to develop a shared understanding between the City, Matrix, and the
Pump Contractor of the Project requirements, City’s expectations, and to establish lines of communication.
Matrix will collect and review available data from the City including ADWR imaged records, the well
installation report, the well liner installation report, and ASR well testing reports. This review will also
include an evaluation of available pumping records, depth to water measurements and sand production
measurements in an effort to provide insight and potential causes of the sanding issue. This information
will be used to facilitate appropriate strategies for Replacement Well ASR-8R.
This task also includes development a site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) for Matrix field
personnel to follow. Matrix understands that the Pump and Drilling Contractors will be hired directly by
the City and each Contractor will be responsible for the health and safety of its own personnel and the
overall safety of the Site. Each work shift will begin with a daily site safety briefing to include the work
anticipated to be performed during each shift.
Subtask 1.2 Down Well Video Survey – Pre-Bail/Brushing
Matrix understands that the City will contract a pump company directly to perform the pump removal and
video logging. Matrix will work with the Pump Contractor to visually inspect the pump and column pipe
when it’s removed to document signs of excessive wear. Following pump removal and to prepare the
well for video logging, Matrix recommends that the Pump Contractor add a deflocculant to the well and
then allow the well to sit for a period of one week to settle any suspended solids prior to conducting the
video. During performance of the video survey, Matrix will provide oversight to document the condition of
the well casing and openness of the perforations, confirm well construction details, and depth to top of
fill prior to bailing and brushing.
Following review of the down well video survey, Matrix will conduct a virtual meeting/conference call
(Meeting #2) with the City to discuss the results and develop a path forward which may include brushing
and bailing to prepare the well for abandonment in accordance with ADWR rule R12-15-816.
Subtask 1.3 Bail, Brush, Bail Well Casing and Screen
Following performance of the initial well video survey and to prepare the well for abandonment, the Pump
Contractor will bail Well ASR-8 in an effort to remove accumulated sand and fill material from the well
casing to the total cased depth of 345 ft bgs. Matrix will provide field oversight of bailing activities and will
collect samples of the bailed material for visual inspection to determine material gradation. This task
includes collection of up to 5 samples for grain size analysis.
If needed following bailing, Matrix will work with the Pump Contractor and the City to prescribe a brushing
plan to remove scale build-up and encrustations and increase the percentage of open perforations. Upon

completion of brushing, the bottom of the well will be tagged, and the well will be bailed a second time to
remove any materials liberated during brushing.
Subtask 1.4 Down Well Video Survey – Post-Bail/Brushing
After Well ASR-8 has been bailed, brushed, and bailed, the Pump Contractor will conduct a second down
well color video survey to document results of the bail/brushing efforts. The video survey will enable
Matrix to document the effects of brushing and bailing activities and recommend the appropriate ADWR
method to be used for well abandonment.
Subtask 1.5 Well Evaluation Report
Matrix will submit to the City a draft well evaluation report summarizing results of Task 1.0 for review and
comment. The data and recommendations presented in the report will allow the City to make informed
decisions regarding the appropriate path forward for Well ASR-8. After submittal of the draft report, Matrix
will conduct a virtual meeting (Meeting #3) with the City to discuss results of the evaluation, our
recommendations, and address any comments received by the City. The final report will include the City
comments and edits.
Task 2.0
Evaluate Existing Contingency, Proposed ASR Wells
Matrix will conduct a desktop study in reviewing the existing Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) and
Underground Storage Facility (USF) permits for the Tumbleweed Facility. This review will focus on the
remaining contingency wells (ASR-13, ASR-14, and ASR-15) to determine if they are still viable for
installation in the context of future plans for the park. Matrix will revisit our ASR Well Siting Study Report
dated May 9, 2023 to confirm that the proposed ASR wells for Los Arboles Park are still viable. Matrix
will work closely with the City to determine future development plans for the park and how the plans may
affect installation of the remaining contingency wells. Our review will include evaluation of the Arizona
Department of Water Resources (ADWR) Maximum Area of Impact (MAOI) and Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Discharge Impact Area (DIA) associated with water storage at
Tumbleweed. Contingency features in the permits will be considered when reviewing well siting locations
and volumes for the proposed ASR wells. This Task will include a kickoff meeting (Meeting #4).
Task 3.0
ASR Well Siting – Vacant Lot North of McQueen Maintenance Yard
Matrix will work with the City to evaluate and site candidate locations for future ASR wells at the vacant
lot north of the McQueen Maintenance Yard in terms of regulatory restrictions, local hydrogeology,
proximity to existing wells and proposed water infrastructure. The evaluation will also include estimates
of the number of wells that could be installed, the size of the easement that will be required, and how
close the wells can be to a proposed water main.
Once Matrix and the City have identified candidate ASR well site(s), Matrix will conduct a preliminary
Well Spacing and Impact Analysis for the identified well site(s) based on local hydrogeologic data using
the THWELLS analytical model and run particle track simulations using the Phoenix Active Management
Area (AMA) groundwater flow model. The models will help assess the impact and extent of recharge and
recovery to demonstrate that the proposed ASR well(s) meet ADWR and ADEQ criteria under USF and
APP permit requirements. If the permits need to be modified to accommodate the proposed ASR well(s),
Matrix will prepare a separate SOW to submit permit application packets to ADWR and ADEQ. Matrix
does not propose any field visits or fieldwork associated with this task.

For each candidate well site, the distance to the nearest limiting well and existing or planned distribution
lines will be identified. These features will be overlain on hydrogeologic maps to conduct a site-specific
analysis which, along with the groundwater modeling results, will help us estimate recharge volumes and
pumping rates. Matrix will then hold a meeting (Meeting #5) with the City to discuss the results.
Task 4.0
ASR Well Siting – Brine Ponds SWC Gilbert Road/Ocotillo Road
Matrix will work with the City to evaluate and site candidate locations for future ASR wells at the Ocotillo
Brine Reduction Facility (OBRF). Matrix understands that the City has plans to remove the brine ponds.
Our evaluation will focus on how many wells can be installed at this proposed recharge facility, provide
estimates on total volume that can be recharged, and the effects of recharge on existing wells in the area.
The OBRF has an existing USF permit (71-541455.0002) to recharge 3,360 acre-feet per year (ac-ft/yr)
of effluent which is set to expire on January 27, 2035. Review of OBRF annual reports shows that no
recharge has occurred at this USF since 2014, although there are five direct injection wells onsite.
Our evaluation will include a review of regulatory restrictions, local hydrogeology, and proximity to existing
wells and water-related infrastructure. Matrix will conduct a preliminary Well Spacing and Impact Analysis
for future well sites based on local hydrogeologic data using the THWELLS analytical model and run
particle track simulations using the Phoenix AMA groundwater flow model. The models will help assess
the impact and extent of recharge and recovery to demonstrate that the proposed ASR well(s) meet
ADWR and ADEQ criteria under USF and APP permit requirements. If the permits need to be modified
to accommodate the proposed ASR well(s), Matrix will prepare a separate SOW to submit permit
application packets to ADWR and ADEQ. Matrix does not propose any field visits or fieldwork associated
with this task.
For each candidate well site, the distance to the nearest limiting well and existing or planned distribution
lines will be identified. These features will be overlain on hydrogeologic maps to conduct a site-specific
analysis which, in addition to the groundwater modeling results, will help estimate recharge volumes and
pumping rates. Matrix will then hold an in-person meeting to discuss the results in conjunction with
Meeting #6 mentioned previously in Task 2.0.

1.4 City in no way warrants that the minimum insurance limits contained in this Agreement are
sufficient to protect Consultant from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of
the Agreement services under this Agreement by Consultant, its agents, representatives,
employees, subconsultants, and Consultant is free to purchase any additional insurance as
may be determined necessary.
1.5 Failure to demand evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency will not relieve Consultant from,
nor will it be considered a waiver of its obligation to maintain the required insurance at all
times during the performance of this Agreement.
1.6 Use of subconsultants: If any work is subcontracted in any way, Consultant must execute a
written Agreement with subconsultant containing the same Indemnification Clause and
Insurance Requirements as City requires of Consultant in this Agreement. Consultant is
responsible for executing the Agreement with the subconsultant and obtaining Certificates
of Insurance and verifying the insurance requirements.
2.
Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance. Consultant must provide coverage with limits of
liability not less than those stated below.
2.1 Professional Liability. If the Agreement is the subject of any professional services or work
performed by Consultant, or if Consultant engages in any professional services or work
adjunct or residual to performing the work under this Agreement, Consultant must maintain
Professional Liability insurance covering errors and omissions arising out of the work or
services performed by Consultant, or anyone employed by Consultant, or anyone whose
acts, mistakes, errors and omissions Consultant is legally liable, with a liability limit of
$1,000,000 each claim and $2,000,000 all claims. In the event the Professional Liability
Project Name: Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well Siting

Project No.: WW2403.101
Rev. 1/12/2024
insurance policy is written on a “claims made” basis, coverage must extend for 3 years past
completion and acceptance of the work or services, and Consultant, or its selected Design
Professional will submit Certificates of Insurance as evidence the required coverage is in
effect. The Design Professional must annually submit Certificates of Insurance citing that the
applicable coverage is in force and contains the required provisions for a 3 year period.
2.2 Commercial General Liability-Occurrence Form. Consultant must maintain “occurrence” form
Commercial General Liability insurance with a limit of not less than $2,000,000 for each
occurrence, $4,000,000 aggregate. Said insurance must also include coverage for products
and completed operations, independent contractors, personal injury and advertising injury.
If any Excess insurance is utilized to fulfill the requirements of this paragraph, the Excess
insurance must be “follow form” equal or broader in coverage scope than underlying
insurance.
2.3 Automobile Liability-Any Auto or Owned, Hired and Non-Owned Vehicles
Vehicle Liability: Consultant must maintain Business/Automobile Liability insurance with a
limit of $1,000,000 each accident on Consultant owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles
assigned to or used in the performance of Consultant’s work or services under this
Agreement. If any Excess or Umbrella insurance is utilized to fulfill the requirements of this
paragraph, the Excess or Umbrella insurance must be “follow form” equal or broader in
coverage scope than underlying insurance.
2.4 Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance: Consultant must maintain Workers
Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by federal and state statutes having
jurisdiction of Consultant employees engaged in the performance of work or services under
this Agreement and must also maintain Employers’ Liability insurance of not less than
$1,000,000 for each accident and $1,000,000 disease for each employee.
3.
Additional Policy Provisions Required.
3.1 Self-Insured Retentions or Deductibles. Any self-insured retentions and deductibles must be
declared and approved by City. If not approved, City may require that the insurer reduce or
eliminate any deductible or self-insured retentions with respect to City, its officers, officials,
agents, employees, and volunteers.
3.1.1. Consultant’s insurance must contain broad form contractual liability coverage.
3.1.2. Consultant’s insurance coverage must be primary insurance with respect to City, its
officers, officials, agents, and employees. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained
by City, its officers, officials, agents, and employees will be in excess of the coverage
provided by Consultant and must not contribute to it.
3.1.3. Consultant’s insurance must apply separately to each insured against whom claim is
