MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Sean Corrigan, City Engineer/Public Works Director
DATE: 10/17/2018 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Award of Contract to Pavement Coatings Co. for the 2018
Slurry Seal and Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. M0042)
BACKGROUND
On August 1, 2018, the City Council approved the Plans and Specifications for the 2018
Slurry Seal and Pavement Rehabilitation Project and authorized staff to advertise the
project to obtain construction bids. The project scope of work consists of crack-filling
and placement of approximately 625,000 square feet of Type 2 slurry seal on local
residential streets in the Campus Canyon Road – University Drive area. The following
is a list of residential streets that staff recommended for slurry seal:
• Alumni Way • Griffith Lane • Sophomore Court
• Bitner Place • Harte Lane • Sosna Court
• Borges Court • Imbach Place • Stanley Court
• Borges Drive • Mahan Court • Swift Place
• Braun Court • Mallory Court • Thionnet Place
• Campus Canyon
Drive
• Miline Court • Shakespeare
Place
• Doris Court • Monroe Avenue • Trollope Court
• Freshman Court • Rains Court • University Drive
• Graduate Place • Seitz Court
In addition to the slurry seal maintenance work, staff was tasked to recommend an
interim repair for deteriorated pavement along Princeton Avenue. Based on field
evaluations and measurements, staff determined that approximately 10,000 square feet

Honorable City Council

Page 2
of pavement could be patched as an interim solution, until the construction of the
Princeton Avenue Improvement Project is complete. With the rising cost of
construction, staff included a unit price bid item for asphaltic concrete pavement repair.
The unit bid price was based on an initial area of 3,750 square feet of pavement repair
with the intention to reassess the scope when actual construction bid prices are
received.
DISCUSSION
A public Notice Inviting Sealed Bids was published on September 5th and 10th, 2018
with a bid opening date on September 28, 2018. Staff received two construction bids:
Contractor Bid Amount
Pavement Coatings Co. $299,817.00
All American Asphalt $340,069.50
The lowest, responsible bidder is Pavement Coatings Co., located in Jurupa Valley,
California. The Bid Schedule contained two separate schedules with the following
breakdown from Pavement Coatings Co.:
Bid Schedule Bid Amount
Schedule A – Slurry Seal (University Drive - Campus Canyon) $271,017.00
Schedule B – Pavement Rehabilitation (Princeton Avenue) $28,800.00
Total Bid $299,817.00
During the project planning and preparation of the Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Capital
Improvement Budget, the construction cost estimate for the scope of work in Schedule
A was $250,000. This amount is also reflected in the adopted budget. Since that time,
the construction industry has seen costs for material and personnel increase throughout
the Southern California region. This cost increase is reflected in the bid proposal
amounts received and are higher than the initial cost estimate and budget amounts,
which were prepared in early 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT
The lowest, responsible construction bid received for the project (Schedule A and B) is
$299,817.00. As previously mentioned, construction bids were obtained for two
separate Schedules of Work. The bid amount for Schedule A is $271,017 and will be
funded by Project M0042. A 10% project contingency, in the amount of $27,102, will
bring the total budget amount for Schedule A work to $298,119. No new funding
96

appropriations are needed for Schedule A work but a budget line item adjustment is
required as follows:
Account Number Current Budget Revision Amount Amended Budget
2416-311-M0042-55200 $250,000.00 $50,000.00 $300,000.00
2416-311-M0042-55300 $50,000.00 ($50,000.00) $0.00
Total Project Budget $300,000.00
The bid amount for Schedule B, $28,800, is based on performing an asphalt overlay of
3,750 square feet on Princeton Avenue. Staff is requesting City Council consider
budgeting $50,000 for Schedule B for additional pavement repair on Princeton Avenue.
All pavement repair efforts along Princeton Avenue will be within City owned and
maintained right-of-way. No pavement repairs are recommended along Princeton
Avenue that is within Caltrans right-of-way (underneath SR-118). No funding for new
appropriations are being requested for Schedule B work and will be funded by the
Princeton Avenue Improvement Project (C0020) Infrastructures Account No. 2014-311-
C0020-55200. The Princeton Avenue Improvement Project (C0020) current budget is
as follows
Account Description Current Budget
2014-311-C0020-53000 Property Maintenance $1,500.00
2014-311-C0020-55100 Land Acquisition $4,624.00

9. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
Contractor shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to sales,

such records shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting

books and records; shall give the City the right to examine and audit said books and
records; shall permit City to make transcripts therefrom as necessary; and shall allow

10. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS
Contractor shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by City, and hold
harmless City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all
liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable legal
counsels’ fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature
arising out of or in connection with Contractor's negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its
obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by
the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should conflict of interest
principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both City and Contractor, or
should City otherwise find Contractor’s legal counsel unacceptable, then Contractor shall
reimburse the City its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable legal
counsels fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The Contractor shall
promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City (and its officers, officials,
employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have
been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless or wrongful performance. It is
expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as
broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the state of California and will survive
termination of this Agreement.
Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense,
judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an
Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this
agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for
liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where
City active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the
obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of City.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth here 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 Section.
Pavement Coatings Co. Page 5 of 18
103
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.
11. INSURANCE
Contractor shall maintain prior to the beginning of and for the duration of this
Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
12. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly independent
Contractor. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of
Contractor shall at all times be under Contractor’s exclusive direction and control.
Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents shall have control over the
conduct of Contractor or any of Contractor’s officers, employees, or agents, except as
set forth in this Agreement. Contractor shall not at any time or in any manner represent
that it or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers,
employees, or agents of the City. Contractor shall not incur or have the power to incur
any debt, obligation, or liability against City, or bind City in any manner.
No employee benefits shall be available to Contractor in connection with the
performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Contractor as provided in
the Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Contractor
for performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or
indemnification to Contractor for injury or sickness arising out of performing services
hereunder.
13. LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Contractor shall keep itself informed of local, state, and federal laws and
regulations which in any manner affect those employed by it or in any way affect the
performance of its service pursuant to this Agreement. The Contractor shall at all times
observe and comply with all such laws and regulations, including but not limited to the
Americans with Disabilities Act and Occupational Safety and Health Administration laws
and regulations. The City and Contractor shall comply with Exhibit B, California Public
Contract Code Section 9204, when applicable. The City, and its officers and
employees, shall not be liable at law or in equity occasioned by failure of the Contractor
to comply with this Section.
Pavement Coatings Co. Page 6 of 18

14. ANTI DISCRIMINATION
Neither the Contractor, nor any subcontractor under the Contractor, shall
discriminate in employment of persons upon the work because of race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition,

this Section, if applicable [Labor Code Section 1735].

Contractor declares and warrants that no undue influence or pressure is used
against or in concert with any officer or employee of the City in connection with the

confidential financial arrangement, or financial inducement. No officer or employee of
the City will receive compensation, directly or indirectly from Contractor, or any officer,
employee, or agent of Contractor, in connection with the award of this Agreement or any
work to be conducted as a result of this Agreement. Violation of this Section shall be a
material breach of this Agreement entitling the City to any and all remedies at law or in
equity.
16. NO BENEFIT TO ARISE TO LOCAL EMPLOYEES
No member, officer, or employee of the City, or their designees or agents, and no

indirect, in any agreement or sub-agreement, or the proceeds thereof, for work to be
performed in connection with the Project performed under this Agreement.
17. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Contractor covenants that neither they nor any officer or principal of their firm
have any interests, nor shall they acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which will
conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of their services hereunder.
Contractor further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, they shall
employ no person having such interest as an officer, employee, agent, or subcontractor.
Contractor further covenants that Contractor has not contracted with nor is performing

firm(s) and/or partnership(s) and/or public agency(ies) owning property and/or

agency(ies) owning property and/or processing an entitlement application for property in

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 the requirements set forth here, it will be amended 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 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
Commercial General Liability Insurance shall be provided by an Insurance
Services Office “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 shall be no
less than $5,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than
$10,000,000 general aggregate.
Contractor’s policy shall contain no endorsements limiting coverage beyond the
basic policy coverage grant for any of the following:
a. Explosion, collapse or underground hazard (XCU)
b. Products and completed operations
c. Pollution liability
d. Contractual liability
Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of contractors,
subcontractors, or others involved in the project. Policy shall be endorsed to provide a
separate limit applicable to this project.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ Compensation insurance shall be provided on a state-approved policy
form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employers’ liability limits no
less than $1,000,000 per accident for all covered losses.

Business Auto Coverage
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92
including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent shall be provided. Limits shall be
no less than $1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. 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 coverage for each such person.
Excess or Umbrella Liability
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. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding
coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be
applicable to City for injury to employees of contractor, subcontractors, or others
involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to the approval of city
following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers
that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with A.M. Best rating of A- or
better and a minimum financial size of VII.
Contractor and City agrees as follows:
1. Contractor agrees to endorse the third party general liability coverage required
herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees, agents,
using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition date prior to 1992.
Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, subcontractors, and any one
else involved in any way with the project contemplated by this Agreement to do
likewise.
2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of the City to any party
involved in this Agreement or related documents applies only to the extent of
insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be named as an
additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein, expressly retains the
right to subrogate against any party for sums not paid by insurance. For its part,
Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the
applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors,
subcontractors, or others involved in any way with the project contemplated by
this Agreement to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Contractor or required of
others by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to delete the
subrogation condition as to the city, or to specifically allow Contractor or others
providing insurance herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This
Pavement Coatings Co. Page 12 of 18
110
endorsement shall be obtained regardless of existing policy wording that may
appear to allow such waivers.
4. It is agreed by Contractor and City that insurance provided pursuant to these
requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing coverage for
the vicarious liability of City, or to the supervisory role, if any, of City. All
insurance coverage provided pursuant to this or any other Agreement (express
or implied) in any way relating to City is intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies involved. Nothing referred to here or contained in any agreement
involving City in relation to the project contemplated by this Agreement is
intended to be construed to limit the application of insurance coverage in any
way.
5. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not
been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
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 discover period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s
prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of binders of
coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insurance, shall be delivered to City
at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of
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, 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 City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or
deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option.
8. Contractor agrees to endorse, and to required others to endorse, the insurance
provided pursuant to these requirements, to require 30 days notice to City and
the appropriate tender prior to cancellation or reduction of such liability coverage
and notice of any material alteration or non-renewal of any such coverage, and to
require contractors, subcontractors, and any other party in any way involved with
the project contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, and any other party
involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contractor, 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 project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor,
Pavement Coatings Co. Page 13 of 18
111
provide the same minimum insurance coverage 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 Agreement. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in this project will be
submitted to 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 on the project
contemplated by this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to 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 this 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 City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining to the
project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any activity
commences in furtherance of performance under this Agreement.
14. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on 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 City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuance to
this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled
or terminated for any reason. The insurance shall include but not be limited to
products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where
applicable. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a
written statement to that effect.
16. Contractor agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers’
compensation statute or similar statute, in relation to the City, and to require all
subcontractors and any other person or entity involved in the project
contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
17. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on
other requirements or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
Pavement Coatings Co. Page 14 of 18
112
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 all-inclusive.
18. Any provision in any of the construction documents dealing with the insurance
coverage provided pursuant to these requirements, is subordinate to and
superseded by the requirements contained herein. These insurance
requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in
this Agreement and are intended by the parties to be interpreted as such.
19. All liability coverage provided according to these requirements must be endorsed
to provide a separate aggregate limit for the project that is the subject of this
Agreement and evidencing products and completed operations coverage for not
less than two years after issuance of a final certificate of occupancy by all
appropriate government agencies or acceptance of the completed work by City.
20. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or
Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not
the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums
or other amounts with respect thereto.
21. 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.

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.
(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
