MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Chris Ball, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: 09/06/2023 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Recommended Artwork and Award Agreement to Russell
Rock dba UrbanRock Design for the Inclusive Playground Gateway
and Fencing Public Art Project
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider the recommendation of the Arts Commission
for the artwork to be installed at the inclusive playground at Tierra Rejada Park and award
an Agreement to the artist, Russell Rock dba UrbanRock Design (UrbanRock Design),
for the design, fabrication, and installation of the artwork.
BACKGROUND
Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 17.50 establishes the City’s Art in Public Places (AIPP)
program, with the goal of balancing the community’s physical growth with revitalization
and its cultural and artistic resources. This program requires certain residential,
commercial, and industrial development projects to either install public artwork or pay an
in-lieu fee. In-lieu fees are collected and maintained in the AIPP Fund for use exclusively
for the AIPP program. The Arts Commission is tasked with reviewing proposed AIPP
projects and providing recommendations to City Council regarding site locations and
conceptual design of proposed artwork.
On January 15, 2020, the City Council approved the design for an inclusive playground
at Tierra Rejada Park and authorized staff to seek grant funding for the project. In
June 2020, the Inclusive Playground at Tierra Rejada Park was added to the City’s
approved Capital Improvement Projects, contingent on receipt of grant funding to support
the project. In 2021 the City was awarded $177,952 through the California State Parks
Office of Grants and Local Services Per Capita Program, and in March 2022, the National
Parks Service approved funding in the amount of $775,750 through the Land and Water
Conservation Fund.

In June 2022, the City Council approved the allocation of funding from the AIPP Fund for
the purpose of installing a public art project consisting of an entrance gateway and
decorative fence to further enhance the playground design. Installation of the public art
project is to coincide with construction of the playground, which is anticipated to occur in
the summer of 2024.
The inclusive playground at Tierra Rejada Park will be a significant addition to the City’s
recreation facilities for a number of reasons. Unlike the City’s other playgrounds, many
of which contain individual accessible elements, the inclusive playground will be fully
accessible. This will enable individuals of all abilities, including those with mobility,
cognitive, developmental, sight, and hearing impairments, to access the entire playground
and its amenities. Site layout, design elements, and play features are carefully thought
out and selected to create a safe, engaging space that is developmentally appropriate for
all children. Site design also enables parents and caregivers with disabilities to access
and interact with their children throughout the playground area.
At a community level, the inclusive playground will provide an educational benefit by
highlighting the importance of inclusion in everyday activities, regardless of ability level,
and by showing that children of all abilities enjoy exploring, interacting, learning and
having fun together. The inclusive playground will have regional significance as well.
Currently, the nearest fully inclusive playgrounds are in Ventura and Calabasas. The
inclusive playground at Tierra Rejada Park, therefore, will fill a recreational need in the
east county, serving not only the Moorpark community, but also the surrounding region.
To help highlight the unique nature of the inclusive playground and distinguish it within
the region, a community-wide naming contest was held during the winter of 2022/23 to
identify a formal name for the playground. The outcome of the contest was decided on
February 15, 2023, when the City Council formally selected “Enchanted Playground at
Tierra Rejada Park” as the name for the inclusive playground.
During design development of the inclusive playground, a “whimsical” theme was
selected based on input from the Moorpark community. This theme will be expressed as
a fun twist on natural and architectural elements throughout the playground design. For
example, a central “tree house” feature incorporates an aged wizard-like face in its design
while its roots sprout fanciful vines and natural elements that populate a custom sensory
wall. Play and functional elements are embellished with stylized natural imagery (forest
creatures, flowers, mushrooms, logs, etc.) to infuse a sense of whimsy and nature
throughout the site. Preliminary conceptual designs and artwork are included in
Attachment 1 for reference.
In January 2023, staff released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking artists for the
Inclusive Playground Gateway and Fencing Public Art Project (the Project). The RFQ
sought proposals for the design, fabrication and installation of an entrance gateway and
decorative fencing (collectively the Artwork) for the playground. The general concept
outlined in the RFQ was a sculptural gateway element that spans or borders the
pedestrian walkway at the entrance to the playground, with complementary decorative
fencing extending from the gateway.

Honorable City Council

No specific sculptural format or artistic elements were prescribed for the gateway feature.
However, it was noted that the accompanying fence would serve both a decorative and
functional role to keep children within the playground and separate the playground from
the parking area. With this in mind, artists were invited to develop their own creative
concepts for the Artwork with the goal of creating a unique, welcoming entrance that
delights arriving visitors, complements the whimsical theme of the playground, and
incorporates the playground name. Additional goals, as stated in the RFQ, included:
The artwork should be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
and safe for installation in a playground environment.
The artwork should be engaging and aesthetically pleasing to individuals of all
ages, cultures and backgrounds.
The artwork should be fabricated from durable materials that can withstand long-
term exposure in an outdoor environment, are resistant to vandalism, and require
minimal maintenance.
The artwork should be a significant addition to the City’s public art collection and
grow Moorpark’s reputation as a city that values and supports the arts.
The initial January RFQ release attracted four proposals prior to the submission deadline
of February 17. Staff re-issued the RFQ in March with several clarifications and a total of
seven proposals were ultimately received prior to the April 18 submittal deadline.
The artist selection process for this Project followed the procedures outlined in the Arts
Master Plan, which observes that best practice involves the creation of a diverse, project-
specific selection panel comprised of art and design professionals and appropriate project
stakeholders, thereby incorporating professional and community perspectives into the
selection process. The selection panel for the inclusive playground public art project (the
Panel) included two members of the Arts Commission, two members of the Parks and
Recreation Commission, and a representative from the inclusive playground design firm.
Commissioners Rose Hoberg and Kim Simons served on the Panel for the Arts
Commission while Commissioners Jason Flame and George Estrella participated for the
Parks and Recreation Commission. Nate Stutz, the lead consultant on the inclusive
playground design from RecWest Outdoor Products Inc., rounded out the 5-member
Panel.
The Panel met twice during the artist selection process. The first meeting was on April 27
to review the submitted applications and identify three semi-finalists for the project. The
three semi-finalists were given one month to develop preliminary artwork proposals. Artist
proposals were presented to the Panel on June 1 at the Moorpark Community Center.
After careful consideration the consensus of the Panel was to recommend the proposal
titled “Fence Concert” by UrbanRock Design for the project.
UrbanRock Design is an artist team comprised of Jeanine Centuori and Russell Rock.
Russell is a professional artist with a Master in Fine Arts in Painting and is the lead artist
and designer of UrbanRock Design. Jeanine is an architect and Fellow of the American

Academy of Architects. Both are accomplished artists and designers with many
completed projects around the United States. Their studio is located at the Brewery Arts
Complex, near downtown Los Angeles.
DISCUSSION
UrbanRock Design’s proposed Artwork consists of a 10-foot-tall gateway spanning the
pedestrian walkway into the playground and a complementary 3½-foot-tall fence. Both
the gateway and fence are made up of free form, flowing blue bands constructed of
architectural grade aluminum. The playground name is integrated into the gateway
design, with “Enchanted Playground” sitting across the top of the arch, and “Tierra Rejada
Park” mounted on the underside of the arch. All elements are to be powder coated with
color and an anti-graffiti topcoat to ensure durability, stability, and ultraviolet light
resistance. The original design infused color and variation into the composition by
mounting brightly colored floral imagery along the fence and archway. Illustrations of this
original design proposal are included in Attachment 2.
Although the proposal from UrbanRock Design was generally well received and
recommended by the Panel, some members of the Panel voiced concerns about the
selection. These reservations focused on two aspects of the proposed Artwork. The first
concern centered around a desire for the gateway to be more prominent and serve as
more of a focal point within the overall composition. The second concern recognized a
desire for the Artwork to tie in more with the whimsical woodland theme of the inclusive
playground. Therefore, the Panel requested that staff share this feedback with the artists
and ask that they consider revising their concept to address these reservations.
The artists were receptive to the Panel’s feedback and agreed to draft revisions to various
elements of the preliminary design to be included for consideration when the
recommendation was brought to the Arts Commission. Staff also provided updated
playground equipment renderings with a revised fence layout to help inform the
artists revisions.
UrbanRock Design’s updated “Fence Concert” proposal is included as Attachment 3. In
the revised Artwork colorful woodland images (rabbit, fox, pinecone, acorn, mushroom,
etc.) replace the original flower imagery on the fence and gateway. The updated gateway
also features more robust lettering and additional graphics mounted on the outside,
enhancing its dimensionality. The artist narrative describes the Artwork as follows:
“Combining imagery of woodlands nature components (animals and plant-
life) with the concept of music notation – it seeks to make a rhythmic
composition that is colorful and dynamic. Using the sensibility of whimsy,
the natural beauty of these components are brought into a musical
composition implying sound and movement. . . The composition of natural
elements on the fence and gateway utilize theme and variation that are set
upon flowing blue bands evocative of flowing water, tree bark, and other
patterns found in nature. This piece is an inviting introduction to the
Enchanted Playground.”

On August 15, 2023, the Evaluation Panel recommendation and updated Artwork
proposal were considered by the Moorpark Arts Commission. With three Commissioners
in attendance (due to one absence and one vacancy on the Commission), the
Commission voted 2 – 1 in favor of recommending UrbanRock Design and their updated
proposal for the Project. Those voting in favor of the artwork noted that it is an attractive
piece and appreciated that it stands on its own as a piece of art. In casting the dissenting
vote, the Commission Chair also complemented the proposal as a stand-alone piece,
however, in his opinion, the design is too disconnected from the “Enchanted Playground”
theme and therefore not a good fit for the location.
The City Council is now asked to consider “Fence Concert” by UrbanRock Design as the
artwork for the Inclusive Playground Gateway and Fence Public Art Project and approve
an Agreement with the artist for the design, fabrication, and installation of the artwork.
Due to the time and coordination required to integrate this art project with the construction
of the playground, if the artwork and Agreement are not approved at this time this AIPP
project will not move forward. In that case a more traditional fence and gateway would
be installed based on the original playground design concepts. These more traditional
elements are illustrated in Attachment 4.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The Community Development Director has evaluated the Inclusive Playground Gateway
and Fence Public Art Project for compliance with CEQA and determined that the
proposed action is categorically exempt from environmental review in accordance with
Section 15301, Class 1 (existing facilities) and Section 15311, Class 11 (accessory
structures). The proposed project involves placement of a minor structural accessory at
an existing park facility with no proposed expansion of existing use.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the Agreement with UrbanRock Design for the design, fabrication and
installation of the artwork is $130,000. Funding in the amount of $450,000 from the AIPP
Fund (Fund 2007) is included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget for Capital
Improvement Project #C0063. No additional appropriation is needed at this time.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action is consistent with City Council Goal 1, Objective 1.9: “Tierra Rejada Inclusive
Playground and Public Art Installation.”

Fence Concert
Our proposal for The Enchanted Playground Gateway and Fence
is entitled Fence Concert. Combining imagery of woodlands
nature components (animals and plant-life) with the concept of
musical notation– it seeks to make a rhythmic composition that is
colorful and dynamic. Using the sensibility of whimsy, the natural
beauty of these components are brought into a musical
composition implying sound and movement. The cadence of
forms, colors, and arrangement interplay in this 2-part piece
comprised of the fence and the companion gateway element.
The composition of natural elements on the fence and gateway
utilize theme and variation that are set upon flowing blue bands
evocative of flowing water, tree bark, and other patterns found in
nature. This piece is an inviting introduction to the Enchanted
Playground.

Materials and Maintenance Plan
DIMENSIONS
1. Fence: the fence is 98 ft long, also with a 7 ft long panel. . It is composed of 16 panels that are each 3 ½ ft high x 6 ft long with maximum
openings of 4” wide. There is one panel that is about 7 ft long.
2, Gateway: the gateway is 8 ft- 6 in wide x 3 ft – 6 in deep x 12 ft high, and also has maximum openings of 4” wide.
MEDIUM
The base panels of the fence and gateway are waterjet cut architectural grade 3/8 in thick 6061-T651 aluminum. The floral elements are
waterjet cut architectural grade 1/4 in thick 6061-T651 aluminum. They are fastened to the base plate with high security stainless steel
machine screw hardware, as are each fence panel to the posts. The posts will be either 4” square or 4” round x 45” high x 3/8” wall
thickness 6061-T651 aluminum. The posts will have mortised custom base plates welded in place to accommodate three to four 3/8” thick
stainless steel threaded rod tie-downs. These tie-downs are epoxied in place to the foundation and fastened with high security nuts. The
gateway will be fabricated in a similar manner with the top portion of the gateway element being rolled, then welded to the verticals to
create an entry archway. It will have floral elements fastened to it too.
All elements are to be powder coated with a color and an anti-graffiti clear top coat to ensure durability, stability, and UV resistance.
The piece has the following powder coated colors from the RAL system:
Tiger Drylac Colors: RAL 1017, RAL 1016, RAL 3015, RAL 4003, RAL 4006, RAL 5017, RAL 9010, RAL 5012.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Once applied, powder coating needs to be properly cared for, just like any paint. Powder used on exterior applications needs to be cleaned
2 – 3 times per year.
Pressure cleaning
The most efficient method of cleaning powder coated surfaces is with a pressure washer using filtered water under low pressure. Mild
detergent may be used, but do not use chlorine or harsh cleaning solutions. It is very important that low pressure be used in pressure
cleaning. If the pressure is strong enough to move the metal surface, it may be strong enough to damage the finish as well. Avoid using
unfiltered tap water or ground water when cleaning the powder coated finish, and pay attention to where the wind blows the water from
sprinkler systems. Unfiltered water often causes staining on outdoor products due to sulfur, iron oxide, chlorine, fluoride, and other minerals
commonly found in hard water or ground water in certain states. Only filtered water should be used to clean and rinse powder coated
products whenever possible.
135
MATERIALS and MAINTENANCE REPORT, cont.
Avoid Abrasives
Avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners such as steel wool and scourers. Treat the powder coating as you would treat your car paint.
Avoid Solvents
Any use of a solvent-based cleaner will void any warranty that is issued. Where a solvent is absolutely necessary to remove materials from the
surface, such as adhesives, the weakest possible solvent should be used (e.g. methylated spirits, white spirits or isopropyl alcohol). A small and
unobtrusive area should be tested prior to attempting to use solvents on significant surfaces. After removal of the surface contaminant, the solvent
should be dried from the film, and the area that has been wiped with solvent should be washed with a solution of mild liquid detergent and then
rinsed with clean water to ensure complete removal of any solvent residues. Under no circumstances should strong solvents be used. Examples of
inappropriate chemicals for cleaning or any contact with powder coatings are gasoline, kerosene, xylene, caustic cleaners (especially kitchen and
bathroom detergents) and paint thinners.
Always flush metal that has been exposed to cleaner with copious amounts of fresh clean water. If the local water is high in mineral salts, finish
powder coated metal cleaning with deionized water and/or a chamois.
Damage Repair
Where mechanical damage to the powder coating has occurred such that the substrate is exposed, it is certain that the underlying chromate film
has been damaged. In order to achieve the maximum corrosion resistance, it is necessary to replace the pretreatment. In some cases it will be
possible to apply a suitable chromate pretreatment on site, apply a suitable primer and repaint the damaged area in accordance with the
recommendations above. Where on-site application of a chromate pretreatment is not possible, the application of a high performance etch primer
to the aluminum is essential to the repair process. Application of a suitable touch-up paint is the only recommended method of damage repair.
Touch up paint is available, if necessary, through LVP Powder & Paints- https://www.lvppaints.com/ral-paint-standard-touch-up-aerosol-spray-

EXHIBIT A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Agreement, A rtist will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Artist 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. A rtist 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 C ity in excess of the
limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss,
will be available to City.
Artist shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
1.Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office
“Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the equivalent. Defense
costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross l iability exclusion
for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits shall be no less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $2,000,000
general aggregate.
Artist’s policy shall contain no endorsements limiting cove rage beyond the basic policy
coverage grant for any of the following:
•Explosion, collapse or underground hazard (XCU)
•Products and completed operations
•Contractual liability
2.Artist shall provide Worker’s Compensation insurance on a State of California
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. A
Worker’s Compensation Insurance Certificate shall be filed with the City before
beginning work, unless Artist signs a written certification that Artist is aware of the
provisions of California Labor Code Section 3700 et seq., which requires every
employer to be insured against liability for Worker’s Compensation, and that no
one other than Artist, or a legal subcontractor, will perform any services under this
Agreement.
In the event the Worker’s Compensation Insurance submitted by the A rtist
becomes inoperative any time before the completion of the work, all work shall
immediately cease until a new policy is obtained and any time so lost shall not
entitle the Artist to any extension of time. Certificates shall unequivocally provide
at least thirty (30) days written notice by certified mail to the C ity prior to
cancellation or modification.
Page 14 of 25
DR
A
F
T
152
In lieu of the above, the Artist may provide certification to the City on a form to be
provided by the City that there are no employees other than the A rtist engaged in
the project.
3.Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92
including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits shall be no less than
$1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If A rtist owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general
liability policy described above. If Artist’s employees will use personal autos in any
way on this project, Artist shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage
for each such person.
4.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. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability
policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a
maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but
covered by the umbrella. 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 Artist,
subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is
subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required
herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence and 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. Best rating of
A-or better and a minimum financial size VII.
Artist and City agree as follows:
1.Artist agrees to endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein
to include as additional insured City, its officials, employees and agents, using
standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 (ongoing operations) and No. CG 2037
(completed operations) with edition acceptable to the City. Artist also agrees to
require all contractors, subcontractors, and anyone 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 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,
Artist agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability
of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors, subcontractors or others
Page 15 of 25
DR
A
F
T
153
involved in any way with the project(s) contemplated by this agreement, to do
likewise.
3.All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Artist or required of others by
Artist pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation
condition as to City, or to specifically allow Artist or others providing insurance
herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This endorsement shall be obtained
regardless of existing policy wording that may appear to allow such waivers.
4.It is agreed by Artist 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(s) 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 wit h 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. Artist shall not make any
reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction
of discovery period) which 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, at the option of City, 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 at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, C ity 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 Artist or deducted from
sums due Artist, at City option.
8.Artist agrees to endorse, and to require others to endorse, the insurance provide d
pursuant to these requirements, to require thirty (30) days’ notice to City and the
appropriate tender prior to cancellation 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 Artist 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 City.
10.Artist agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the
project that is brought onto or involved in the project by Artist, provide the same
minimum insurance coverage required of Artist. Artist 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. Artist agrees that
upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the
project will be submitted to City for review.
11.Artist agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required herein, primary,
umbrella and excess, will have the same starting and expiration date. A rtist agrees
further that all other third party coverages required herein will likewise have
concurrent starting and ending dates.
12.Artist 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 Artist’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 Artist,
which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self -insured
retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
13.The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the A rtist ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Artist, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to City.
14.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.
15.Artist acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of
City to inform Artist 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.
16.Artist will renew the required coverage annually as long as 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. The insurance shall include but not be limited to
products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where
applicable. Termination of this obligation is effective upon issuance of a Notice of
Completion by the City.
17.Artist 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.
18.Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on other
requirements or 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 all-inclusive.
