AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manager
DATE: 09/19/2018 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Agreement with Dekan Construction Company for Trail
Maintenance in Moorpark Highlands and Resolution Amending the
Fiscal Year 2018/19 Budget to Fund the Project
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
The Moorpark Highlands community was constructed with a trail system composed of
decomposed granite. After acceptance of the Moorpark Highlands Landscape
Maintenance District 22, the City had multiple earthen swales constructed in order to
control water runoff, especially during rain events. The addition of these earthen swales
has allowed the trail system to remain open throughout the year. Annually, the system
of earthen swales needs to be maintained to ensure proper functioning. Funding for the
maintenance of these trails has been incorporated in the operating budget for Moorpark
Highlands Fund.
Staff released an informal bid on August 3, 2018 seeking costs for maintenance
services on the trail. A mandatory pre-bid site meeting was held on August 9, 2018 and
was attended by four contractors. Three bids were received by the due date of August
21, 2018. The results of the bids were:
Dekan Construction Corporation $ 69,900.00
Oakridge Landscape, Inc. $ 100,079.00
Adjul Corporation dba Lee Construction $ 127,235.00
The low bidder was Dekan Construction Company. The bid was evaluated on its
completeness and cost. Dekan Construction Company possesses the necessary
qualifications, resources and experience to perform the work. Staff is recommending
award of the Agreement to Dekan Construction.

Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all
of its officers, employees, and agents (“City Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including
reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the
Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the
operations conducted by Contractor, including the City’s active or passive negligence,
except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or
other adversarial proceeding arising from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement,
the Contractor shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at the City’s option
reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal
counsels’ fees incurred in defense of such claims.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth in this Section from each and every subcontractor, or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity
obligations from others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible
according to the terms of this Section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these
requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a
waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth
here is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or this Section.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor
by reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of
any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The hold
harmless and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said
insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, and expenses described in this Section.
This Indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement or Final Payment
hereunder. This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Indemnitees may have under the law or under any other Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of any claim or demand made against any party which is
entitled to be indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain, or
apply any monies to the Contractor under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving
such claims; provided, however, City may release such funds if the Contractor provides
City with reasonable assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Contractor will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use
existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not
meet requirements set forth here, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse
the existing coverage to do so. Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage
and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage
required. Any insurance proceeds available to the City in excess of the limits and
coverage required in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to the City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)
“Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense
costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for
claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no
event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than
$2,000,000 general aggregate.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including
symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no
event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability
policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor’s employees will use personal autos
in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability for
each such person.
Workers’ Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as
required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or
disease.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying
coverages. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs
payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at
the time insured’s liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured
first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by
one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to the City for injury to
employees of Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of
coverage provided is subject to approval by the City following receipt of proof of
insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review.
5151
ATTACHMENT 1
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size of VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and the City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Contractor:
1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds the City, its officials,
employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement CG 2010 with an
edition prior to 1992. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right
to subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights
against the City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to
require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to
the City or its operation limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to the City and approved in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not
make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability
or reduction of discovery period) that may affect the City’s protection without the
City’s prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
5252
ATTACHMENT 1
endorsement to Contractor’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to city at or
prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance
is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled or
reduced at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, the City has the
right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its
interests under this or any other Agreement and to pay the premium. Any
premium so paid by the City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor
or deducted from sums due Contractor, at the City’s option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to the City
of any cancellation or reduction of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its
insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that
failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation or reduction of coverage
imposes no obligation, or that any party will “endeavor” (as opposed to being
required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply
first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or
self-insurance available to the City.
10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Contractor, provide
the same minimum insurance required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring

reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the
Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the
operations conducted by Contractor, including the City’s active or passive negligence,
except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or
other adversarial proceeding arising from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement,

performance of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity
obligations from others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible
according to the terms of this Section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these
requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a
waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth
here is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or this Section.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor
by reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of
any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The hold
harmless and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said
insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, and expenses described in this Section.
This Indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement or Final Payment
hereunder. This Indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Indemnitees may have under the law or under any other Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of any claim or demand made against any party which is
entitled to be indemnified hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain, or
apply any monies to the Contractor under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving
such claims; provided, however, City may release such funds if the Contractor provides
City with reasonable assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Contractor as provided in

for performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Contractor will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use
existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not
meet requirements set forth here, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse
the existing coverage to do so. Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage
and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage
required. Any insurance proceeds available to the City in excess of the limits and
coverage required in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to the City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)
“Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense
costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for
claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no
event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than
$2,000,000 general aggregate.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including
symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no
event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability
policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor’s employees will use personal autos
in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability for
each such person.
Workers’ Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as
required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or
disease.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying
coverages. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs
payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at
the time insured’s liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured
first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by
one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to the City for injury to
employees of Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of
coverage provided is subject to approval by the City following receipt of proof of
insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review.
104104
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size of VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and the City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Contractor:
1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds the City, its officials,
employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement CG 2010 with an
edition prior to 1992. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right
to subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights
against the City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to
require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to
the City or its operation limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to the City and approved in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification, and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not
make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability
or reduction of discovery period) that may affect the City’s protection without the
City’s prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Contractor’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to city at or
prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance
is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled or
reduced at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, the City has the
105105
right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its
interests under this or any other Agreement and to pay the premium. Any
premium so paid by the City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor
or deducted from sums due Contractor, at the City’s option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to the City
of any cancellation or reduction of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its
insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that
failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation or reduction of coverage
imposes no obligation, or that any party will “endeavor” (as opposed to being
required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply
first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or
self-insurance available to the City.
10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Contractor, provide
the same minimum insurance required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring
that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this
section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors
and others engaged in the Work will be submitted to the City for review.
11. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees
that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer, or other
entity or person in any way involved in the performance of Work contemplated by
this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to the City. If Contractor’s existing
coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-
insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time, the City shall review
options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor 90
days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to the City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any
steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this
Agreement.
106106
14. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with an insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations to the City nor does it
waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as the City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to
this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until
the City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring
during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other
policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has
been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter
from Contractor’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of
insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these
specification applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to the
City within five days of the expiration of coverage.
17. The provisions of any Workers’ Compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor expressly agrees not
to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to the City,
its employees, officials, and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of
this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts or
impairs the provisions of this section.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the Work reserves the right to charge the City or
Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to the City. It is
not the intent of the City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying
107107
with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against the City for payment
of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. The City
assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the
duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to
involve the City.
23. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability
coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project, when required by City. City
shall determine the liability limit.

periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this
section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is
denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure
to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse
finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the
claimant.

7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim
against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may
present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or
on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work
which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of
the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the
public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45
days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in
writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the
original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement
of the reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or
specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this
section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to
waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action
or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable
change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to
the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or
grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee
to meet its contractual obligations.
111111
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes
or extends that date.
(Added by Stats. 2016, Ch. 810, Sec. 1. (AB 626) Effective January 1, 2017. Repealed
