Related to NON-BINDING MEDIATION PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE
Non-Binding Mediation Except as provided in Section 19.5, if the dispute is not settled or resolved pursuant to Section 19.2, the Parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute in an amicable manner, using non-binding mediation under the rules of JAMS before having recourse in a court of law. Each Party shall be responsible for the expenses of such Party's participants, consultants, experts or representatives and shall be paid by the Party producing such participants, consultants, experts or representatives. All other expenses of the mediation, including required travel and other expenses of the mediator, and the cost of any proofs or expert advice produced at the direct request of the mediator, shall be borne equally by the Parties, unless they agree otherwise. Any resultant agreements from mediation shall be documented in writing. All mediation proceedings, results, and documentation shall be inadmissible for any purpose in any legal proceeding (pursuant to California Evidence Codes Sections 1115 through 1128), unless such admission is otherwise agreed upon in writing by all Parties. Mediators shall not be subject to any subpoena or liability, and their actions shall not be subject to discovery. The mediator must have substantial experience with the water utility/treatment industry, including both publicly-owned and privately-owned water utilities. If any of the matters or issues involved in any dispute are outside the scope of expertise of the mediator, the mediator shall have the right to retain and rely on one or more experts with respect to the applicable matter or issue requiring expert advice. Any person selected as an expert shall be knowledgeable and experienced in the matters sought to be mediated and shall have no affiliation with the Parties; provided, however, the expert may have been utilized by either Party as a consultant not more recently than twelve (12) months prior to the time of engagement if the mediator determines that such expert will provide services unbiased by such prior consulting relationship. Mediation shall be completed within 60 days after request for the mediation by either Party, unless the parties to the mediation otherwise agree in writing. If the subject matter of the dispute relates to a very time sensitive issue, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another to expedite the above-described mediation.
