AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager
DATE: 09/04/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Agreement for Bid and Construction Management Services,
Metrolink South Parking Lot South Entry Project (Project No. C0029)
BACKGROUND
On April 17, 2019, Moorpark City Council approved plans and specifications for the
Metrolink South Parking Lot South Entry Project (MPK 19-02) and authorized staff to
advertise for bids for the project. The City began advertising the project on April 28,
2019 and held a mandatory pre-bid meeting on May 21, 2019. Bids were originally due
by 3:30 p.m. on June 4, 2019; however, shortly after the May 21 pre-bid meeting, City
staff was discussing with staff from the Ventura County Transportation Commission
(VCTC) the latest Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 fiscal year (FY)
2018/19 grant cycle, which includes $101,542 in new funding for the project. Staff from
VCTC stated that FTA had not yet formally approved the FY 2018/19 grant cycle. While
the delay in approval does not normally cause a concern for the City’s FTA 5307 funded
projects (such as bus operations and maintenance), there was a concern that without
FTA grant approval (which would also include approval of the categorical exclusion for
environmental clearance) there was a risk of not receiving reimbursement if the bid was
completed and a contract awarded. Out of a preponderance of caution, the City
released Addendum No. 1 on May 29, 2019, delaying the bid deadline until further
notice.
The City received notice from VCTC on August 15, 2019, that FTA had approved the FY
2018/19 FTA 5307 grant cycle and could proceed with the project. Staff intends to re-
advertise the bid and hold another pre-bid meeting. Contractors who attended the first
pre-bid meeting on May 21 will not be required to attend the second time meeting, but
they will have the option of attending.

DISCUSSION
City staff is recommending using consultant services to assist with the project during the
renewed bid process, as well as construction management. The City has received a
proposal from Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc. (Phoenix) to provide Construction
Management Services for the project. Phoenix has provided construction management
services for several other projects in the City and staff has been pleased with their work.
Some areas of assistance that Phoenix will provide include:
• Attendance at the next pre-bid meeting.
• Review of submitted bids.
• Coordinating weekly meetings between the selected contractor, City staff, and
third-party inspection services.
• Review of certified pay-roll.
Phoenix’s proposal is for $58,385.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
Project No. C0029 has $903,089.95 continuing appropriation in FY 2019/20. The
expense will be funded from expense account 2001-311-C0029-55300 which has
$8,602.04 remaining budget. City staff intends to perform a budget line item transfer
within Project No. C0029 to fully fund the agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve agreement with Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc., for Construction Management
Services for the Metrolink South Parking Lot South Entry Project (Project No. C0029) for

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Consultant will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Consultant will use
existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not
meet requirements set forth here, Consultant agrees to amend, supplement, or endorse
the existing coverage to do so. Consultant 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.
Consultant 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 Consultant owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability
policy described above. If Consultant or Consultant’s employees will use personal autos
in any way on this project, Consultant 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.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be written
on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or
omissions of the Consultant and “Covered Professional Services” as designated in the
policy must specifically include work performed under this Agreement. The policy limit
shall be no less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must “pay
on behalf of” the insured and must include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to
defend. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this
Agreement.
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
Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc. Page 11 of 16
217
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 Consultant, subconsultants, 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 but in no event less than
$1,000,000 aggregate.
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 Consultant.
Consultant and the City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
1. Consultant 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 and CG
2037 with edition acceptable to the City. Consultant also agrees to require all
contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
2.No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Consultant, or Consultant’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right
to subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant 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. Consultant 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.
Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc. Page 12 of 16
218
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 Consultant’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 Consultant
or deducted from sums due Consultant, at the City’s option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30) days notice to
the City of any cancellation or reduction of coverage. Consultant 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 Consultant 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.

options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.

part of the City to inform Consultant 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.

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

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-
