Dear Prasad Garimella,
Letter Agreement for Reimbursement of OneLegacy’s Donate Life Run/Walk:
APU West Campus through Rosedale Community
This letter shall be our Agreement (“Letter Agreement”) regarding the reimbursement of fees
and costs of City personnel staff for the Police Department, Public Works Department and any
other related City staff. The City staff will assist with the Special Event Permit for OneLegacy’s
Donate Life Run/Walk beginning on Azusa Pacific University (APU) West campus, going north
on Palm Drive, looping through part of the Rosedale residential community and finishing at the
APU West campus.
The Services provided by City staff will include but not limited to the following Departments to
assist with the overall event and safety/traffic control measures:
•Police Department
•Public Works Department
The Applicant shall reimburse the City for one hundred percent (100%) of the actual fees, costs
and other expenditures incurred by the City relative to providing assistance of the event and
related traffic control measures, as well as any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the City
("Costs"). The City will provide itemized invoices for all City services provided. Within ten
(10) calendar days of the execution of this Agreement, the Applicant shall submit a deposit in the
amount of five-thousand ($5,000.00), which amount the City shall separately account for in a
Project deposit account ("Deposit Account").
As the City invoices for fees, costs, and expenditures associated with the Project, the City may
draw upon the Deposit Account to make the required payments. At any time that the Deposit
Account drops below three-thousand ($3,000.00), the City may make demand on Applicant to
Exhibit "D"
Letter Agreement – OneLegacy’s Donate Life Run/Walk – April 29, 2023
City Council Meeting – April 17, 2023

replenish the Deposit Account to five-thousand ($5,000.00) and Applicant shall submit the
required amount of funds to City within ten (10) calendar days. In the event Applicant fails to
make any required deposit, City shall have the right to consider Applicant's Project applications
as withdrawn and cease processing such applications and any future applications.
City shall not exceed a reasonable cost without consulting with Applicant regarding the need for
additional services which cause the Costs to exceed the reasonable costs ("Excess Costs"). The
City shall use reasonably good faith efforts to consult with the Applicant prior to amending any
scope of services to be provided by the Consultants and incurring Excess Costs. The Applicant's
obligation to reimburse the City for Excess Costs shall be contingent upon the City providing
Applicant with written notice of the amendment of the scope of services to be performed by any
Consultant and the estimated cost thereof prior to the commencement of work. Once the City
provides such notice, Applicant shall be obligated to pay the Excess Costs in the same manner as
the Estimated Costs provided above, including, but not limited to, replenishing the Deposit
Account.
The City shall be deemed to have consulted with the Applicant when the City has provided
written notice to the Applicant that the City reasonably anticipates that it will incur, or has
incurred, Excess Costs. If, after consultation, the Applicant disagrees with the City's incurring of
Excess Costs, then the Applicant's sole and exclusive remedy will be to terminate this
Agreement, subject to the Applicant's obligation to reimburse the City for all Costs incurred by
the City prior to the date of termination, whether or not yet paid by the City to any Consultants.
The City shall maintain accurate records of invoices received from, and payments made to, the
Consultants resulting from the Project, and will provide a payment summary to Applicant within
a reasonable time upon request. In the event that excess funds remain in the Deposit Account
upon conclusion of the Project and after all final payments to the Consultants have been made,
the City agrees to refund that excess amount, if any, to Applicant within fifteen (15) days of final
payment to the Consultants. Alternatively, if the Costs of the services of the Consultants exceed
the Estimated Costs and Excess Costs, if any, then Applicant shall remain obligated to pay for all
such Costs. Applicant shall pay any such amount within ten (10) calendar days of demand for
payment by City.
The Applicant agrees that, notwithstanding the Applicant's reimbursement obligations under this
Agreement, Consultants shall be the contractors exclusively of the City and not of the Applicant.
Except for those disclosures required by law, including, without limitation, the Public Records
Act, all conversations, notes, memoranda, correspondence and other forms of communication by
and between the City and its Consultants shall be, to the extent permissible by law, privileged
and confidential and not subject to disclosure to the Applicant. The Applicant agrees that it shall
have no claim to, nor shall it assert any right in any reports, correspondence, plans, maps,
drawings, news releases or any and all other documents or work product produced by the
Consultants.
