(Staff: Daniel Kim) Item: 10.H. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Daniel Kim, Senior Civil Engineer DATE: 09/02/2020 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider the Award of Contract to Toro Enterprises for the 2020 Slurry Seal and Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. M0047) BACKGROUND On June 3, 2020, the City Council approved the Plans and Specifications for the 2020 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, placement of approximately 750,000 square feet of Type 2 slurry seal, and removal and replacement of approximately 145,000 square feet of asphaltic concrete pavement on local residential streets in the Walnut Acres and Moorpark Estates neighborhoods. The following is a list of residential streets approved for pavement repairs and slurry seal: Walnut Acres Neighborhood • Dorothy Avenue • Ruth Avenue • Second Street • Sarah Avenue • Susan Avenue • Roberts Avenue • Esther Avenue • Sherman Avenue • Millard Street • Harry Street Moorpark Estates Neighborhood • Sierra Avenue • Shasta Avenue • Diablo Avenue • Palomar Avenue • Whitney Avenue • Lassen Avenue • Lassen Court • Everest Avenue Item: 10.H. 342 Honorable City Council 09/02/2020 Regular Meeting Page 2 DISCUSSION A public Notice Inviting Sealed Bids was published on July 3rd and 8th, 2020 with a bid opening date on July 31, 2020. Staff received five construction bids: Contractor Bid Amount All American Asphalt $1,375,736.00 Granite Construction Company $1,434,130.50 Hardy & Harper, Inc. $1,700,000.00 Onyx Paving Company, Inc. $1,424,000.00 Toro Enterprises, Inc. $1,274,094.10 The lowest, responsible bidder is Toro Enterprises Inc., located in Oxnard, California. Toro Enterprises has performed this type of work satisfactorily in the past. The Bid Schedule contains two separate schedules with the following breakdown from Toro Enterprises, Inc.: Bid Schedule Bid Amount Schedule A – Downtown Area $842,885.60 Schedule B – Shasta Area $431,208.50 Total Bid $1,274,094.10 The current, and evolving, affects from the COVID-19 pandemic will be considered when scheduling and executing the construction contract. Street parking in the Downtown and Shasta Area neighborhoods is a particular concern and any work related to street rehabilitation may negatively impact the residents. Advance noticing will be provided to residents to move their vehicles prior to start of construction for each work day. Additionally, staff coordinated with the Ventura County Transportation Commission to make the South Metrolink parking lot available to residents for daily and overnight overflow parking during construction. That parking lot is nearly empty every day because of reduced rail commuters due to the Covid pandemic. FISCAL IMPACT Project bids came in well below budget, largely due to reduced oil prices. The project is identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Program as CIP M0047 with a budget appropriation of $1,800,000. The funding sources are Fund 2412 – Local TDA Article 8A and Fund 2416 – Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation. 343 Honorable City Council 09/02/2020 Regular Meeting Page 3 COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Award construction contract to Toro Enterprises, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract in the amount of $1,274,094.10, plus a 10% project contingency amount of $127,409.41, for a total contract amount of $1,401,503.51.

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. Toro Enterprises, Inc. Page 5 of 18 351 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. 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.

The Contractor shall have responsibility for compliance with this Section, if applicable [Labor Code Section 1735]. 15.

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 and No. CG 2037 with edition acceptable to the City. 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 Toro Enterprises, Inc. Page 12 of 18 358 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, Toro Enterprises, Inc. Page 13 of 18 359 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 Toro Enterprises, Inc. Page 14 of 18 360 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.
