terms of the Contract shall upon termination be delivered to and become the property of City
upon request and without restriction on their use or further compensation to Consultant.

at least three years after receipt of final payment under this Contract.
6. AUDITS AND INSPECTION
City shall have the right to audit and make copies of the books, records and computations

the audit, including any travel costs, must be borne by Consultant which must be payable within

practicable dispatch, in a sound, economical and efficient manner, and, in accordance with the

related work being carried on by City.
8. INDEMNITY AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP
A. Consultant shall perform all services as an independent contractor not under the direct
supervision and control of City. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating a relationship
of employer and employee between the parties. City and Consultant agree to cooperate in the
defense of any claims, actions, suits, or proceedings of any kind brought by a third party
which may result from or directly or indirectly arise from any negligence and/or errors or
omissions on the part of Consultant, or from any breach of Consultant's obligations under this
Contract. In the event any litigation or claim is brought under this Contract in which City is
joined as a party, Consultant shall provide suitable counsel to defend City and Consultant
DocuSign Envelope ID: A8832B3E-A50D-42EB-A2CE-65E448821D72
Contract For Professional Legal Services – Page 5

competent counsel of its own choosing. Consultant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless City and all of its officers, attorneys, agents, servants, and employees against any
and all such claims to the extent not otherwise covered by Consultant's professional liability
policy. Consultant agrees to pay all expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees, and
satisfy all judgments that arise under such third party claims, but are not otherwise satisfied
by Consultant's professional liability insurance policy. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver
of any rights or remedies City may have to pursue under either law or equity, including,
without limitation, a cause of action for specific performance or for damages, a loss to City
resulting from Consultant's negligent errors or omissions, or breach of contract, and all such
rights and remedies are expressly reserved.
B. Consultant shall maintain and shall be caused to be in force at all times during the term of
this Contract, a legally binding policy of professional liability insurance, issued by an
insurance carrier approved to do business in the State of Texas by the State Insurance
Commission, which carrier must be rated by Best Rated Carriers, with a rating of "A-" or
higher. Such coverage shall cover any claim hereunder occasioned by Consultant's negligent
professional act and/or error or omission, in an amount not less than $500,000 combined
single limit coverage occurrence. In the event of change or cancellation of the policy by the
insurer, Consultant hereby covenants to immediately advise City thereof; and in such event,
Consultant shall, prior to the effective date of change or cancellation, serve a substitute
policy furnishing the same coverage to City. Consultant shall provide a copy of such policy
and the declarations page of the existing policy to City through its City Attorney,
simultaneously with the execution of this Contract.

Consultant that City may cancel or indefinitely suspend further work hereunder or terminate

shall be compensated in accordance with the terms of this Contract. All reports and other
documents, or data, or work related to the project shall become the property of City upon
termination of this Contract.
B. This Contract may be terminated in whole or in part, in writing, by either party in the event
of substantial failure by the other party to fulfill its obligations under this Contract through
no fault of the terminating party. Provided, however, that no such termination may be
effected, unless the other party is given [1] written notice (delivered by certified mail, return
receipt requested) of intent to terminate, and not less than 30 calendar days to cure the
failure; and [2] an opportunity for consultation with the terminating party prior to

Re: Legal Fees Estimate for permitting ofthe proposed expansion ofthe
City ofDenton Landfill and General Environmental Legal Services
Dear Mr.Kemler:
You have asked that Lloyd Gosselink provide an estimated budget for (1) legal services
and costs relating to municipal solid waste,air and other matters covered by environmental law
and (2) an estimated budget for the City of Denton's proposed expansion of its existing landfill.
We base our estimate on the landfill expansion on the understanding that the application will be
filed in 2016 and a hearing, if any, will commence in 2017 and last until late 2018. As explained
below the combined estimated budgets for these two tasks is $715,000 over three years.
Landfill Budget
Lloyd Gosselink's Air and Waste Practice Group generally breaks down the permitting
process into five phases,with certain costs estimated for each phase. We arrive at a site-specific
budget by modifying those general cost estimates to take into consideration the site-specific facts
of a particular case. Typically, the most significant site-specific factor is the anticipated level of
opposition expected from competitors or neighborhood groups formed to oppose the project.
The first phase will be complete with the submittal of the application to the TCEQ.As
noted,we expect that the applicafion will be submitted before December 31,2016.Accordingly,
there is no longer a specific budget set up for Phase I. The second phase covers the time period
during which the permit application is submitted to the TCEQ until it has been declared technically
complete.This phase is anticipated to be completed in mid 2017. The third phase covers the time
period subsequent to the permit application being declared technically complete and continues until

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (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 your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
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. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account 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. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
