MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manager
DATE: 12/04/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Agreement with Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc. for Civil
Engineering Design Services for Inclusive Playground; and
Resolution Amending Fiscal Year 2019/20 Budget by Appropriating
$33,000 from the General Fund (1000)
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
On November 20, 2019, the City Council approved the location for an Inclusive
Playground at Tierra Rejada Park and an agreement with Architerra, Inc. for design
services related to the inclusive playground. It was also noted that staff would be
returning to City Council for the services of a Civil Engineer to provide design of the
expanded parking lot, storm water retention facilities, and accessible pathways.
An Agreement has been prepared with Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc. (Phoenix) to
provide civil engineering services for the inclusive playground project. The cost for civil
engineering services is $32,980.
No funds have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019/20 budget for the services
of the civil engineer. These services are needed in order to provide staff the required
materials to comply with the grant application requirements for the Land and Water
Conservation Fund (LWCF).
Funding for the playground equipment and park improvements would not be allocated
until the grant has been awarded. The LWCF grant is a reimbursement grant so the
City will need to certify that it has funding available to allocate for the full project. Staff
will determine which fund will pay for and be reimbursed by the grant at the time of
application.

indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees and
agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they
arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of
the Consultant. Consultant’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense
costs incurred by City in direct proportion to the Consultant’s proportionate percentage
of fault. Consultant’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court
of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of
settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination
of the Consultant’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party
neutral to determine the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of
determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the City.
For all other liabilities: Notwithstanding the foregoing and without diminishing any
rights of City in the preceding paragraph in Section 10, for any liability, claim, demand,
allegation against City arising out of, related to, or pertaining to any act or omission of
Consultant, but which is not a design professional service, Consultant shall defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless City, its officials, employees, and agents (“Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorney fees and expert witness fees), judgments, settlements, and/or arbitration
awards, whether for personal or bodily injury, property damage, or economic injury, and
arising out of, related to, any concurrent or contributory negligence on the part of the
City, except for the sole or active negligence of, or willful misconduct of the City.

performance of this Agreement. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity
obligations from others as required here, Consultant 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 Consultant 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 Consultant

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of City, and 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 10 of 18
132
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.
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 Consultant 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 11 of 18
133
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.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Consultant, provide
the same minimum insurance required of Consultant. Consultant 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. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors
and others engaged in the Work will be submitted to the City for review.
11. Consultant 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 Consultant’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 Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other

City of Moorpark – Tierra Rejada Park Inclusive Improvements Design Project– Proposal for
Engineering Services
Dear Jessica-
I am pleased to provide you with this proposal for engineering services associated with the Tierra Rejada
Park Inclusive Improvements Design project. The park is located in a neighborhood and contains a path,
play area and parking lot that do not meet the current accessibility requirements. This project shall install
additional compliant parking spaces in the existing parking lot, inclusive play structures and an accessible
path to the point within the park where the main activity area is located. As part of this project, the City
has retained separate contracts with a landscape design firm and a playground equipment manufacturer.
The landscape design firm will be providing the surveying services as part of their scope of work. No
lighting improvements or geotechnical studies are included in this proposal. Based on our conversations
and my review of the site, I have prepared my proposal to include the following:
Task 101: 30% Design Plans and Team Coordination
Task 102: 75% Plans, Specifications and Opinion of Probable Construction Cost Preparation
Task 103: Final Plans, Specifications and OPCC Deliverable
I appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to assist you with this project. I have attached a scope
of work and our professional services rate sheet along with a fee schedule detailed by task. Our scope of
work covers design services only and does not include permit or design assistance during construction
services. We can provide these services if requested. The timeline for the work on this project is to be
completed by January 31, 2020.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss my proposal.
Sincerely,

Scope of Services
Background/Project Understanding
The park is located in a neighborhood and contains a path, play area and parking lot that do not meet the
current accessibility requirements. This project shall install additional compliant parking spaces in the
existing parking lot, inclusive play structures and an accessible path to the point within the park where the
main activity area is located. As part of this project, the City has retained separate contracts with a
landscape design firm and a playground equipment manufacturer. The landscape design firm will be
providing the surveying services as part of their scope of work. No lighting improvements or
geotechnical studies are included in this proposal. Based on our conversations and my review of the site,
I have prepared my proposal to include the following:
Task 101: 30% Design Plans and Team Coordination
Initially, the landscape architect and the land surveyor will be providing the ground survey of the site. This
information as well as the conceptual layout will be provided so we can prepare the design plans of the parking
lot and the path of travel. The parking lot is envisioned to be increased in size to provide additional accessible
parking stalls. There will need to be grading modifications to the parking lot to address compliance with the
MS4 stormwater requirements. Additionally, the project scope of work includes preparation of a conceptual
path of travel alignment plan. The path of travel will be located based on the landscape architects’ approved
plans for the equipment location. The path of travel will terminate at the playground area. Modifications to
the existing concrete path at the park will be identified. No modifications to the existing restroom or
decomposed granite path will be performed. Stormwater compliance for treatment (post construction best
management practices) are included in this task. Initially, the concept would entail modification of an existing
drainage area on the east side of the park to be a functioning bioswale or the addition of proprietary storm
drain inlet filter systems to the existing drainage inlets. Lastly, a new path of travel from the corner of Tierra
Rejada Road and Mountain Trail Street to the park play area will be designed. For coordination purposes, it is
assumed that the Landscape Architect will be responsible for compiling the deliverables to the City (plans and
specifications).
The following efforts are included in this task:
• Preparation of the 30% design plan sheets for the path of travel alignment layout and parking lot
improvements for presentation to the City Project Manager.
• Initial design concepts for the post construction best management practices in the parking lot area.
• Meeting with the City staff and consultant team to discuss their comments and discuss any changes
they request.
Deliverable: Two (2) sets of the plans (11 x 17 size) will be provided to the City and the consultant team for
their internal review. One electronic copy of the plan package (.pdf) will be provided.
Task 102: 75% Plans, Specifications and OPCC Preparation
After completion of Task 101, the design of the improvements shall be included in this task. Plan sheets
reflecting the proposed design and associated notes/information will be prepared. Accompanying the plan set,
a set of technical specifications for the improvements will be prepared. These specifications will be based on
the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC) and the City of Moorpark format from
previous projects. The City will be compiling the specification front end documents. For coordination
purposes, an electronic copy (MS Word format) of the city’s standard front end documents will be provided to
the design team. Lastly, an engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost (OPCC) will be prepared for the
proposed civil improvements. The OPCC information will be provided to the other consultant team members
Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc.Page 17 of 18 139

so they can incorporate it into their cost estimates. It is envisioned that the plan set will be made up of the
following sheets:
• Notes, Abbreviations, Survey
• Site Plan (2 sheets)
• Post Construction BMP Design (2 sheets)
• Detail Sheets (up to 2 sheets)
The following efforts are included in this task:
• Development of project improvement design plans.
• Preparation of technical specifications and OPCC for the improvements.
• Coordination with the Landscape Architect on deliverable packages.
Deliverable: Three (3) sets of the 75% plans (22 x 34 size on bond paper), draft technical specifications and
OPCC will be provided to the City for their review. One electronic copy of the project deliverables package
(.pdf) will be provided.
Task 103: Final Plans, Specifications and Estimate Deliverable
Once the City review comments have been received relating to the 75% deliverable package, the project plans,
specifications and OPCC will be finalized, incorporating the review comments. The deliverables will be
provided to the City and consultant team for their incorporation into a final design package.
The following efforts are included in this task:
• Incorporation of City review comments on the final deliverable package into the Contract Documents.
• Finalization of the plans, specifications and OPCC.
• Delivery of the project AutoCAD files of the plans to the Landscape Architect for inclusion in the
final deliverable to the City.
Deliverable: Three (3) sets of the final plans (22 x 34 size on bond paper), technical specifications (bound)
and OPCC will be provided to the Landscape Architect. One mylar copy of the full size plans will be
provided. One electronic copy of the project deliverables package (Civil 3D 2016, MS Word, and .pdf files)
will be provided.
Schedule
The work associated with Tasks 101 through 103 will be made a top priority. Every effort will be made to
keep the project schedule moving along. Review times are anticipated to be one week. It is envisioned that
the project Contract Documents can be prepared within 7 weeks of the project Notice to Proceed (assuming
one week review times). It is understood that the final plans are due to the City by January 31, 2020.
Fees
Work associated with Tasks 101 through 103 is estimated to cost $32,980. A breakdown of the level of effort
is listed below:
Task 101: 30% Design Plans and Team Coordination $17,565
Task 102: 75% Plans, Specifications and OPCC Preparation $10,700
Task 103: Final Plans, Specifications and OPCC Deliverable $4,715
