actions in law or equity (including reasonable attorney's fee, litigation expenses,
and costs to enforce this agreement) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the

officers, employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement.

as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the
Consultant. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies
shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of the Consultant,
its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of

seq.). At any time, upon written request of the City, the Consultant shall
provide a written opinion of its legal counsel and that of any subcontractor
that, after a due diligent inquiry, the Consultant and the respective
subcontractor(s) are in full compliance with all laws and regulations. The
Consultant shall take, and require its subcontractors to take, reasonable
steps to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Upon discovery of
any facts giving rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest, the
Consultant shall immediately notify the City of these facts in writing.

Interwest was selected to provide plan review services and inspection services for the University's $1.3 Billion 2020 Campus

doubled the physical capacity of the campus; this project was completed in Fall 2020.

parking spaces.

TOWN OF ATHERTON
Civic Center Project
The Town of Atherton is known for being the most expensive zip code to
call home in America, but the Town's City Hall used to be comprised of an
old building and 8 portable trailers. Recognizing the need for a functional
and welcoming space for civic activities and community engagement, the
Town created plans for a new $60 million Civic Center Complex, complete
with council chambers, a library, and facilities for town administration and
police department.
Interwest has served the Town of Atherton since 2011 and is pleased to provide project management, building and civil
plan review, and building inspection services on this marquee project. Though planning for the Town Center began in
2012, the project broke ground in 2019. It was crucial for the Town to have complete stakeholder buy -in and community
involvement. Plans were drawn and changed several times to ensure that the project properly represented the vision of Town
Leadership, reflected, and preserved the rich cultural heritage of the Town, and was respectful of concerns expressed by
adjacent neighbors and Town stakeholders. Interwest's Project Manager has effectively and successfully formed important
partnerships and wonderful relationships with Town residents and vocal stakeholders as he responded to their questions
and found solutions to their concerns throughout the planning, design, and construction of the project.
Once the plan was reviewed and approved by our team, construction started but was immediately complicated by the
unexpected and unanticipated challenge presented by the COVID pandemic. Like so many construction projects during
that time, the Town Center was put on hold for several months as the Town adopted and implemented health and safety
best practices. Eventually, the project was allowed to proceed, as the Town Center will be an essential service building;
even so, moving forward remained difficult as several of the required suppliers and tradesmen were not considered to
be essential workers. Even though months of productivity were lost, it is a testament to the Town and Interwest's team's
determination and dedication that the project is still on schedule.
