Dear Mr. Magana: 
 
As discussed at our Pre-Design Meeting (PDM) on 5/1/2024, we are providing you with an Engineering 
Services Agreement (ESA) for your review and signature.  An engineering cost estimate summary is 
included as Exhibit A.  Note that underground utility locating is not included and will need to be 
provided by you or your engineer. 
 
Please return a signed original copy of the ESA to my attention at the address above within two weeks 
of receipt of this letter.  We will begin our design process upon receipt of the signed copy of the ESA 
and any required information identified at the PDM and provide our design schedule once we receive 
underground utility location information.   
 
After our design is completed, we will submit a construction agreement for our associated construction 
costs, including construction engineering services, for your review and approval prior to construction of 
SRP facilities. 
 
We appreciate the opportunity to provide engineering services for your project.  If you have any questions,

7) Indemnification.  Municipality shall indemnify,  hold harmless, release and defend SRP, 
the United States of America (USA), the Salt River Valley Water Users’ Association 
(Association) and each and every one of the members of their respective governing bodies, 
their officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any 
and all claims, demands, suits, costs of defense, reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees of 
any type, losses, damages, expenses, fines, penalties, and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) 
for injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees of SRP or of 
Municipality or its subcontractors, or damage to property, including property of SRP or of 
Municipality or its subcontractors, to which the Indemnified Parties may be put or 
subjected by reason of any act or omission on the part of Municipality, any subcontractor 
or supplier of Municipality, or any of the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, 
agents, servants or employees of Municipality, or of its subcontractors or suppliers.  
Municipality’s obligations under this Section shall extend to Losses resulting from or 
arising out of the inability of any irrigation structure designed or modified pursuant to this 
Agreement to contain or dispose of water entering the structure from a drainage facility 
owned, designed, maintained or operated by the Municipality.  Municipality shall further 
release SRP from any claim or demand for incidental or consequential damages 
Municipality incurs as a result of, or arising out of, SRP’s performance hereunder. 
Municipality’s obligations under this Section shall extend to the Indemnified Parties where 
they, or any one of them, are allegedly concurrently negligent with Municipality, any 
subcontractor or supplier of Municipality, or any of the directors, officers, partners, 
members, managers, agents, servants or employees of Municipality, or of its subcontractors 
or suppliers, in causing or contributing to the liability causing event. Municipality shall 
also indemnify and hold harmless (and, upon notice so requiring from SRP, also defend) 
the Indemnified Parties for, from and against any and all Losses for contractual claims 
arising out of Municipality’s agreements with third parties.  Further, Municipality releases 
SRP from and waives any claims it may have, now or in the future, related to SRP’s 
performance hereunder, unless such claim results from SRP’s sole, exclusive negligence 
or willful action.  Municipality understands and agrees that Municipality enters upon the 
property of the USA, Association and/or SRP at Municipality’s own risk.   
8) Changes.  If Municipality requests and receives approval from SRP for changes to the 
Project, or if there is any change to the information regarding the Project provided by 
Municipality and relied upon by SRP, SRP will charge Municipality and Municipality shall 
pay for any additional costs incurred by SRP, including but not limited to redesign 
engineering costs.

(30) days’ written notice to SRP.  Municipality shall pay SRP for work completed and 
reasonable expenses incurred to the date of termination. 
10) No Waiver.  The failure of SRP to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and 
conditions hereof, or its delay or failure to exercise any rights or remedies provided herein 
by law, or its failure to properly notify Municipality in the event of breach, shall not release 
Municipality from any of the obligations of this Agreement and shall not be deemed a 
waiver of any rights of SRP to insist upon strict performance hereof.
