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 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 
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 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. 
 
5.31 Integration. This Agreement contains the full agreement of the Parties. Any prior or 
contemporaneous written or oral agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter 
is merged and superseded. 
5.32 Time is of the Essence. Time of each of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this 
Agreement is hereby expressly made of the essence. 
 
5.33 Date of Performance. If the date of performance of any obligation or the last day of any 
time period provided for should fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday for City, the obligation 
will be due and owing, and the time period will expire, on the first day after which is not a 
Saturday, Sunday or legal City holiday. Except as may otherwise be set forth in this Agreement, 
any performance provided for herein will be timely made if completed no later than 5:00 p.m. 
(Chandler time) on the day of performance.

SUBJECT:  
Revised Proposal – USF Permit Modification and APP Amendment Application 
Tumbleweed Park Recharge Facility, Chandler, AZ 
 
Dear Ms. Story: 
 
Matrix New World Engineering, Land Surveying and Landscape Architecture, PC (Matrix) is pleased to 
provide this revised proposal to the City of Chandler (Chandler) to modify the existing Underground 
Storage Facility (USF) permit and amend the existing Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) to support the 
drilling and installation of proposed Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells ASR-13 and Well ASR-
14 at the Tumbleweed Park Recharge Facility (Tumbleweed USF) in Chandler, Arizona. This revision 
includes maximum review fees for the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) to review the 
USF permit application and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to review the APP 
application. 
 
SCOPE OF WORK 
 
TASK 1.0 
ADWR USF PERMIT MODIFICATION 
 
Matrix will prepare USF and Water Storage (WS) Permit Applications. Groundwater flow modeling 
associated with defining the maximum area of impact (MAOI) will help demonstrate the impacts of 
additional ASR wells located at Tumbleweed USF. Matrix understands that Chandler does not want to 
increase the permitted recharge rate, and that this permit modification is to accommodate additional ASR 
wells and probably some new monitor wells.  
 
Subtask 1.1 ADWR Pre-Application Meeting 
 
The ADWR Pre-Application Meeting is an opportunity to receive guidance from ADWR and will facilitate 
submittal of a complete application including the required modeling approach. Key components of the 
ADWR Pre-Application Meeting include: 1) discussion of the proposed additional wells, 2) use of 
additional modeling cells that will be incorporated into the 2023 Phoenix AMA model to revise the MAOI, 
and 3) preliminary designs and proposed locations for additional monitor wells.  
 
Subtask 1.2 Groundwater Modeling for USF Application 
 
Groundwater modeling will be conducted to evaluate the existing 20-year permitted storage volume and 
maximum annual injection rate for the Tumbleweed USF. Groundwater model simulation methods and 
results will conform to ADWR USF APP Rules and Regulations.  
 
Matrix will conduct preliminary groundwater modeling simulations to evaluate hydrologic feasibility at the 
Tumbleweed USF. Groundwater modeling will be conducted to estimate the 20-year proposed permit

storage volume and maximum annual rate using groundwater model simulation methods and analysis 
conforming to ADWR USF regulations and current practices based on recent project experience. Matrix 
will prepare three groundwater modeling simulations using an updated version of ADWR’s Phx AMA 
Model (Arizona Department of Water Resources, 2023. Groundwater Flow Model of the Phoenix Active 
Management Area, Arizona. Modeling Report No. 28) to simulate the impact of recharge at the 
Tumbleweed USF and other nearby facilities on the regional aquifer system as required for the USF 
Application Report. The model will be updated through the current year available with reported USF 
recharge volumes and groundwater pumping volumes based on ADWR records for USFs and wells 
located in the Phx AMA Model domain. The three model simulations will be: 1) base model simulating a 
20-year predictive period without Tumbleweed USF recharge, 2) annual rate model simulating the 
current permitted rate of 22,418 acre-feet per year (ac-ft/yr) for 20 years or less at the Tumbleweed USF, 
and 3) maximum in storage model simulating the total volume of recharge determined in the annual 
rate model (model #2) divided evenly into the 20-year predictive period at the Tumbleweed USF. We 
anticipate that the permitted annual rate will not be able to be simulated in the model for the full 20-year 
proposed permit period. Therefore, the total volume of simulated recharge at the Tumbleweed USF for 
as many years that will “fit” into the model without causing unreasonable harm on existing structures will 
be used to determine the maximum in storage volume. The current permitted maximum in storage volume 
is 257,809 acre-feet, which limits the maximum allowed in storage at the Tumbleweed USF at any time 
during the 20-year permit period. As a part of this SOW, Matrix will determine if the 20-year maximum in 
storage volume needs to be adjusted based on new modeling.  
 
A model check will be conducted to analyze simulated historical water levels compared to observed water 
levels. If the model match to observed water levels does not display an acceptable fit, Matrix will work 
with Chandler to consider some changes to the model to develop a better working tool. If model 
modifications are conducted, it could yield a better fit to measured data at the Tumbleweed USF and 
improve model calibration. If changes to the model are to be considered, Matrix will prepare an additional 
SOW and Cost Estimate for that effort.  
 
Modeling results will be reviewed and an analysis of “Unreasonable Harm” and “Hydrologic Feasibility 
Analysis” requirements per the ADWR USF Application Guide dated April 2022 will be conducted. The 
Unreasonable Harm Analysis will include, but not be limited to assessing impacts to landfills, existing 
USFs, underground storage tanks, leaking underground storage tanks, mining operations, and superfund 
sites. Matrix will work closely with ADWR staff as needed to answer any specific questions. 
 
Key components of the modeling effort are: 
 
• 
Model development and boundary conditions 
• 
Time discretization  
• 
Wells  
• 
Recharge 
• 
Mounding analysis 
• 
Map of one-foot direct impact of water level rise (MAOI) 
• 
Narrative supporting MAOI and mounding analysis 
 
The method of calculating the MAOI will provide a maximum storage scenario because it assumes that 
the recharged volume immediately reaches the aquifer. The MAOI method will be calculated by 
subtracting the simulated water level elevation in the Base Model from the simulated water level elevation 
in the Tumbleweed USF Max-In-Storage Model.

o Sub-section 2 – Land and Water Use Inventory 
o Sub-section 3 – Water Quality (support to Matrix) 
o Sub-section 4 – Unreasonable Harm 
o Sub-section 5 – Hydrologic Feasibility Conclusions 
o Sub-section 6 – Monitoring Plan 
o Sub-section 7 – Operation and Maintenance (support to Matrix) 
 
• 
III.D – Technical Capability (Chandler) 
• 
III.E – Financial Capability (Chandler)  
• 
III.F – Legal Access (Chandler) 
 
Subtask 1.4 ADWR USF and WS Permit Applications 
 
Matrix will draft the USF and WS Permit Applications for review and signature by Chandler. The USF and 
WS Permit Applications will be submitted to ADWR in conjunction with the USF Permit Application packet.  
 
Subtask 1.5 Response to ADWR Comments 
 
Matrix anticipates that ADWR may have comments and/or questions and may send requests for 
additional information during review of the applications. As necessary, Matrix will prepare responses to 
any ADWR requests with support from Chandler staff. Matrix assumes that any requests ADWR makes 
for additional information will be for clarification purposes and/or minor modifications to the hydrologic 
study and aquifer impact modeling. If ADWR’s requests require additional time beyond that allotted for in 
this cost estimate, Matrix will prepare a separate SOW and cost estimate to respond to ADWR’s extended 
comments.

TASK 2.0 
ADEQ AQUIFER PROTECTION PERMIT AMENDMENT APPLICATION 
 
Subtask 2.1 ADEQ Pre-Application Meeting  
 
Matrix will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and lead a Pre-Application Meeting with the Arizona 
Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). Materials will include a detailed presentation describing 
proposed changes to the APP and outlining our approach to analysis of the proposed recharge facility. A 
meeting will be held with Chandler to review and approve the presentation prior to delivery to ADEQ. 
 
Matrix will prepare a meeting agenda, attend the ADEQ Pre-Application Meeting and will prepare meeting 
minutes. 
 
Subtask 2.2 Hydrogeological Report for APP Application 
 
Matrix will update the existing hydrogeologic data and analyses necessary to support the APP 
Application. Work will be performed in accordance with ADEQ’s Individual Aquifer Protection Permit 
Hydrology Substantive Review Checklist, dated October 2022. This information will also be used to 
support the following permit application requirements: 
 
• 
Groundwater mounding analysis 
• 
Assessment of the potential for causing leaching or movement of known contaminants 
• 
Location of the Discharge Impact Area (DIA) 
Groundwater modeling to support the Application for an APP Amendment will be conducted using the 
model set up under Subtask 1.2. The Tumbleweed USF annual rate model will be modified so that the 
predictive period simulates 40 years of the annual recharge rate of 22,418 ac-ft/yr, with all other model 
inputs being repeated from the last simulated year in the USF model. Results from the 40-year APP 
model will be used to run particle tracking from the Tumbleweed USF recharge model cells to delineate 
the DIA. Also, the model will be used to prepare a mounding analysis to estimate the 40-year rise of water 
level due to discharge at Tumbleweed USF. Groundwater model simulation methods and results will 
conform to ADEQ APP Rules and Regulations.  
 
Results of the foregoing analyses will be presented to Chandler for review and comment. Following 
review, Matrix will make any agreed upon changes.  
 
Subtask 2.3 APP Application  
 
Matrix will prepare the APP Application with supporting documentation, to amend the current APP in 
accordance with appropriate ADEQ guidance documents. Matrix will work with Chandler and their 
engineers to provide engineering support as well as closure and post-closure costs in accordance with 
the current ADEQ Closure and Post-closure Plan/Strategy and Cost Estimate Checklist.  
 
However, this proposal is based on submitting the APP Amendment Application without any engineering 
documentation related to configuration of the reclaimed water conveyance system to the proposed 
recharge wells. If ADEQ requests some type of engineering documentation in a deficiency letter, Matrix 
will ask Chandler for assistance in developing a response and preparing documentation. The Owners 
Allowance may be used for this potential effort if necessary.

A draft of the application and supporting documentation will be submitted to Chandler for review and 
comment. Following Chandler’s review, Matrix will make any agreed upon changes and submit the APP 
Amendment Application to ADEQ. There is no fee to submit the application.. 
 
Subtask 2.4 Response to ADEQ Comments  
 
Matrix will assist Chandler in responding to questions and comments from ADEQ during their review of 
the application and drafting of the permit. It is impossible to determine with certainty the number and type 
of questions that may be asked. Matrix has included hours and costs in the estimate based on recent 
experience on other similar projects. If additional hours and costs are needed to respond to Agency 
comments, Matrix will prepare an amendment to the scope and costs.

1. 
General. 
 
1.1 At the same time as execution of this Agreement, Consultant must furnish City a certificate 
of insurance on a standard insurance industry ACORD form.  The ACORD form must be 
issued by an insurance company authorized to transact business in the State of Arizona 
possessing a current A.M. Best, Inc. rating of A-7, or better and legally authorized to do 
business in the State of Arizona with policies and forms satisfactory to City.  Provided, 
however, the A.M. Best rating requirement will not be deemed to apply to required Workers’ 
Compensation coverage.  
 
1.2 Consultant and any of its subconsultants must procure and maintain, until all of their 
obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under this Agreement are 
satisfied, the insurances set forth below. 
 
1.3 The insurance requirements set forth below are minimum requirements for this Agreement 
and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this Agreement. 
 
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.

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 
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

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

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 
made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability. 
 
3.1.4. Coverage provided by Consultant must not be limited to the liability assumed under 
the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

3.1.5. The policies must contain a severability of interest clause and waiver of subrogation 
against City, its officers, officials, agents, and employees, for losses arising from Work 
performed by Consultant for City. (Does not apply to Professional Liability coverage.) 
 
3.1.6. Consultant, its successors and or assigns, are required to maintain Commercial 
General Liability insurance as specified in this Agreement for a minimum period of 3 
years following completion and acceptance of the Work.  Consultant must submit a 
Certificate of Insurance evidencing Commercial General Liability insurance during this 
3-year period containing all the Agreement insurance requirements, including 
naming City of Chandler, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and 
employees as Additional Insured as required. 
 
3.1.7. If a Certificate of Insurance is submitted as verification of coverage, City will 
reasonably rely upon the Certificate of Insurance as evidence of coverage, but this 
acceptance and reliance will not waive or alter in any way the insurance requirements 
or obligations of this Agreement.   
 
3.2.  Insurance Cancellation During Term of Agreement.  
3.2.1. If any of the required policies expire during the life of this Agreement, Consultant 
must forward renewal or replacement Certificates to City within 10 days after the 
renewal date containing all the required insurance provisions. 
 
3.2.2. Each insurance policy required by the insurance provisions of this Agreement must 
provide the required coverage and must not be suspended, voided or canceled 
except after thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to City, except when 
cancellation is for non-payment of premium, then ten (10) days prior notice may be 
given.  Such notice must be sent directly to Chandler Law-Risk Management 
Department, Post Office Box 4008, Mailstop 628, Chandler, Arizona 85225. If any 
insurance company refuses to provide the required notice, Consultant or its 
insurance broker must notify City of any cancellation, suspension, non-renewal of any 
insurance within seven (7) days of receipt of insurers’ notification to that effect.

Consultant; and automobiles owned, leased, hired, or borrowed by Consultant. 
 
3.3.2. City, its officers, officials, agents, and employees must be additional insureds to the 
full limits of liability purchased by Consultant even if those limits of liability are in 
excess of those required by this Agreement.
