EVOLVE FORENSICS, LLC
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the ______________ day of
___________________, 20__, by and between the City of Carlsbad, California, a municipal corporation
("City") and Evolve Forensics, a Limited Liability Company ("Contractor”).
RECITALS
City requires the professional services of a consultant that is experienced in Latent Print and
Tenprint Certification and Recertification. Contractor has the necessary experience in providing these
professional services, has submitted a proposal to City and has affirmed its willingness and ability to
perform such work.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein,
City and Contractor agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF WORK
City retains Contractor to perform, and Contractor agrees to render, those services (the “Services”) that
are defined in Exhibit “A,” attached and incorporated by this reference in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. TERM
This Agreement will be effective for a period of one year (1) year from the date first above written.
3. COMPENSATION
The total fee payable for the Services to be performed during the initial Agreement term shall not exceed
three thousand dollars ($3,000.00). No other compensation for the Services will be allowed except for
items covered by subsequent amendments to this Agreement. City reserves the right to withhold a ten
percent (10%) retention until City has accepted the work and/or the Services specified in Exhibit “A.”
4. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor’s
independent calling, and not as an employee of City. Contractor will be under the control of City only as
to the results to be accomplished.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by the City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City
and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims,
damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work
described herein caused by any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission of the Contractor, any
subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of
them may be liable.
If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s
performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then,
and only to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein,

final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction. Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the
cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
The parties expressly agree that any payment, attorney’s fee, costs or expense City incurs or makes to or
on behalf of an injured employee under the City’s self-administered workers’ compensation is included as
a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or
early termination of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE
On-site training will be held at the Safety Training Center, 5750 Orion Street Carlsbad, CA 92010, from
July 15-19, 2024.
The Distortion Interpretation & Feature Distribution Course is a 4 ½ day workshop that will link together
the biological aspects of the skin (“morpho” of morphometric) with the geometry of the impressions of
the skin (“metric” of morphometric). The estimated distribution of the features within the population
will be evaluated using published research and exploring the degree of symmetry among twins and
within individuals (bilateral symmetry). Assessing variation in appearance will take place along two lines
of inquiry 1) skin variation due to time (e.g., aging, injury, disease) and 2) variation in appearance due to
distortion during the recording of the skin on a surface. Attendees will be able to make their own
collection of distortion videos to reinforce the distortion concepts. The thirty-six (36) training hours are
approved by the Internal Association of Identification for Latent Print & Tenprint Certification and
Recertification.
This workshop includes the content (including filming distortion) from Alice’s flagship course, Analysis of
Distortion in Latent Prints.
The tuition for this course is $650 per person. In exchange for hosting the training, Carlsbad Police
Department attendees will receive a 10% registration discount.

with the consent of an Insured, negotiate the
settlement of any Claim whether within or above
the Deductible. If an Insured refuses to consent
to a settlement recommended by the Company,
the Company’s obligation to any Insured for

Claim(s) shall be limited to:
1. The amount of the covered Loss in excess of
the Deductible which the Company would

to the date the Insured first refused to settle;

Claims Expenses and Loss in excess of the
first settlement amount recommended by the

Payment of 1., 2. and 3., above, is the limit of the
Company’s liability under this Policy on any
Claim in which the Insured fails or refuses to
consent to the Company’s settlement
recommendation, subject at all times to the Limits
of Liability and Deductible provisions. The

interrogation by a representative of the

attend hearings, depositions, trials and shall
assist in the conduct of suits, including but not
limited to effecting settlement, securing and
giving evidence, obtaining the attendance of
witnesses, giving written statements to the
Company’s representatives and meeting with

exposure for Claims Expense or Loss.
C. All Insureds shall execute all papers required
and shall do everything that may be necessary to
secure and preserve any rights of indemnity,
contribution or apportionment which an Insured
or the Company may have, including the
execution of such documents as are necessary to
enable the Company to bring suit in an
Insured’s name, and shall provide all other
assistance and cooperation which the Company
may reasonably require.
D. An Insured shall not demand or agree to
arbitration of any Claim without the written
consent of the Company. An Insured shall not,
except at personal cost, make any offer or
payment, admit any liability, settle any Claim,
assume any obligation, or incur any expense
without the Company’s written consent.
VI. LIMITS OF LIABILITY AND DEDUCTIBLE
Regardless of the number of Insureds under this
Policy, Claim(s) made or brought on account of
Wrongful Act(s) or otherwise, the Company’s

Policy, Claims Expenses shall be in addition to
the LIMITS OF LIABILITY as shown in the Policy

Expenses and shall apply to each and every
Claim. The Company shall only be liable to pay,

DocuSign Envelope ID: 42B87B5B-4F09-4433-8B6A-943C9201DFD3
SP (07-09) Page 5 of 8
excess of such Deductible, and such Deductible
shall not be insured under this Policy.
F. The Limit of Liability for the Extended Reporting
Period, if applicable, shall be part of and not in
addition to the LIMITS OF LIABILITY specified in
the Policy Declarations.
G. Claims based upon or arising out of the same
Wrongful Act, interrelated Wrongful Acts, or a
series of similar or related Wrongful Acts shall
be considered a single Claim subject to one
Claim Limit and shall be considered first made
during the Policy Period or Extended Reporting
Period, if applicable, in which the earliest Claim
arising out of such Wrongful Act(s) was first
made and all Loss from such Claims shall be
subject to the one Limit of Liability that applies to
such earliest Claim.
H. The Limits of Liability of this Policy apply
separately to each consecutive annual period
and to any remaining period of less than twelve
(12) months, starting with the beginning of the
Policy Period shown in the Policy Declarations,
unless the Policy Period is extended after
issuance for an additional period of less than
twelve (12) months. In that case, the additional
period will be deemed part of the last preceding
period for purposes of determining the Limits of
Liability.
VII. ADDITIONAL INSURED STATUS FOR
PARENT ORGANIZATION
The Parent Organization is named as an Additional
Insured, but only as respects Claims arising out of
any negligent act, error, omission or Personal Injury
in rendering or failure to render Professional
Services by any individual or entity of the Named
Insured.
VIII. SPOUSAL AND DOMESTIC PARTNER
EXTENSION
If a Claim against an Insured includes a Claim
against the lawful spouse or Domestic Partner of
such Insured, based solely on (a) such spouse’s or
Domestic Partner’s status or (b) such spouse’s or
Domestic Partner’s ownership interest in property or
assets that are sought as recovery for Wrongful
Acts, then any Loss which such spouse or
Domestic Partner becomes legally obligated to pay
on account of (a) or (b) above shall be deemed a
Loss which the Insured becomes legally obligated to
pay.
All definitions, exclusions, terms and conditions of
this Policy, including the Deductible, applicable to any
Claim against or Loss sustained by such Insured
shall also apply to this coverage extension.
The extension of coverage afforded by this section,

misleading statement or neglect or breach of duties

Insured during the twelve (12) months, or
twenty-four (24) months or thirty-six (36) months

Extended Reporting Period purchased). An
Extended Reporting Period shall only apply to a
Wrongful Act committed before the date of the
Policy expiration, cancellation or non-renewal.
For the purpose of this clause, any change in
premium terms or terms on renewal shall not
constitute a refusal to renew.
B. The additional premium for the Extended
Reporting Period shall be sixty-five percent (65%)

Declarations for the twelve (12) month period;
one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the

date of such expiration, cancellation or non-
