If less time is needed, the SAVINGS ACCRUE TO THE CITY. The hours are estimated based upon information available a this time and assuming that the Agency's Consultants color and material specifications will be reasonably complete, and that the Contractor performs his/her work in a timely manner, according to the construction Schedule Contract documents and that no major or unusual delays, changes, disputes or claims are encountered. Clerical is $45/hr. However, the Agency may elect to furnish clerical, in which case no charge would be made. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH THE CITY OF MOORPARK. When we are in the area for other clients, travel time will be shared proportionately. Philip Vein will be the only representative of Picon during the work under this contract. CLARIFICATIONS INSURANCE The pricing INCLUDES THE COST OF GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE. Because of our low exposure rates, disclaimers and the nature of our services, OUR CLIENTS DO NOT REQUIRE, and, the carriers generally will not write, E &O insurance unless we or a staff member are licensed as an Architect, Engineer (and the like) and directly involved in the actual TECHNICAL DESIGN of the project. If it can be obtained, the cost of this E &O insurance and deductible (in the event of a claim), WOULD BE ADDED to our contact price and the first year premiums paid to us at the time insurance would be required. Deductibles are typically very high and would be paid by Agency in the event of a claim. 5 000013 Major liability and E &O insurance is required by the contract documents and provided by the design professionals. The General Contractor provides additional liability insurance, naming the Agency as additional insured. E &O insurance is primarily for those professionals involved in the technical design of the product, such as soils engineers, architects, electrical, HVAC mechanical and structural engineers, landscape architects and those involved in choosing methods, materials and designs. Our services consist of observation, reporting, administration and advisory. We are not serving as an Inspector or in a Supervisory capacity. We are using our best knowledge and expertise but are not responsible for the performance or actions of anyone not under our control. There is only 1 representative of Picon. Our clients are protected by including indemnity, liability, and E &O insurance in all of the professional's contracts. The professionals also obtain like insurance from their consultants. This insurance and indemnity names the Agency as additional insured. Picon does not own or hire any vehicles. Workman's Compensation is not required since only an officer will represent us on this project and there are no non - officer employee's of Picon. OTHER CLAIRFICATIONS • Our services will be provided using our best knowledge and expertise to expedite the project and to protect the Agency's interests. However, we are not responsible for the accuracy, performance or actions of the Owner, Owner's consultants, Contractors, Agents or any other person(s) or entities not under our control. We are not serving as an Inspector or in a Supervisory capacity. We are serving in an advisory and reporting capacity only and all final decisions will be made by the Agency. Picon and it's Officers and Employees are not Attorneys and assistance in the preparation or enhancement of any documents is provided using our best knowledge and expertise. There is no guarantee that any of our recommendations would withstand legal challenge. • The Agency may accept, reject or correct any reports, recommendations or documents proposed by Picon. The Agency will make and be responsible for decisions on all matters. • Audit of certified payroll or field wage interviews are not a part of scope of work. We will receive and file all required documents. • Coordination of correction of items discovered after occupancy or maintenance items are not included in our fees. • Fees will not exceed the overall total but may vary within the categories. 6 000014 • This proposal is to be incorporated into the final contract by reference and, except in the event of a conflict between the Agreement and this Proposal, this Proposal is to take first precedence. Based upon our previous experience with the City of Moorpark, we are confident, we can mutually agree upon terms and conditions of an a Agreement with the Redevelopment Agency. The key to assuring a successful project lies with the effective coordination of the many consultants and phases of construction and other related efforts. Our 45 years (plus) of industry experience, and recent successful completion of 25 public projects, of many types, demonstrates that we are well qualified to provide the degree of coordination and administration necessary for successful completion of the project. We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with the City of Moorpark on 9 projects where the ratio of extras, including Owner generated changes was less than 1.75% of the General Contract and we were under our not to exceed fees on most of the projects. We would welcome the opportunity to work with the City's Redevelopment Agency. We appreciate the opportunity to offer this proposal and thank you for your consideration. Respectfully submitted, - V PICON Philip H. Vein, President 7 000015 EXHIBIT "B" INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, PROJECT COORDINATOR will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below.

Best rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size VII. Professional Services Agreement between Page 8 -1 Moorpark Redevelopment Agency and PICON 000016 General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by PROJECT COORDINATOR -- PROJECT COORDINATOR and AGENCY agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by PROJECT COORDINATOR: 1. PROJECT COORDINATOR agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds AGENCY, its officials, employees, servants, agents, and independent consultants ( "Agency indemnities "), using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992. PROJECT COORDINATOR also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit PROJECT COORDINATOR, or PROJECT COORDINATOR's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. PROJECT COORDINATOR agrees to waive subrogation rights against AGENCY 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 PROJECT COORDINATOR 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 AGENCY or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. 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 AGENCY and approved of 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 any contractor or subcontractor. 6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the AGENCY, as the need arises. PROJECT COORDINATOR shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect AGENCY's protection without AGENCY's prior written consent. Professional Services Agreement between Moorpark Redevelopment Agency and PICON Page 8 -2 000017 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 PROJECT COORDINATOR's general liability policy, shall be delivered to AGENCY 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, AGENCY 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 AGENCY shall be charged to and promptly paid by PROJECT COORDINATOR or deducted from sums due PROJECT COORDINATOR, at AGENCY option. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to AGENCY of any cancellation of coverage. PROJECT COORDINATOR 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 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 PROJECT COORDINATOR or any subconsultant, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non - contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to AGENCY. 10. PROJECT COORDINATOR agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project, who is brought onto or involved in the project by PROJECT COORDINATOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of PROJECT COORDINATOR. PROJECT COORDINATOR 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. PROJECT COORDINATOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to AGENCY for review. 11. PROJECT COORDINATOR 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, or other entity or person in any way involved in the Professional Services Agreement between Moorpark Redevelopment Agency and PICON Page 8 -3 performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self- insure its obligations to AGENCY. If PROJECT COORDINATOR's existing coverage includes a deductible or self- insured retention, the deductible or self- insured retention must be declared to the AGENCY. At that time the AGENCY shall review options with the PROJECT COORDINATOR, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self- insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 12. The AGENCY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the PROJECT COORDINATOR ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the AGENCY will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to AGENCY. 13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage, only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 14. PROJECT COORDINATOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of AGENCY to inform PROJECT COORDINATOR of non - compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on AGENCY nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. 15. PROJECT COORDINATOR will renew the required coverage annually as long as AGENCY, 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. Termination of this obligation is not effective until AGENCY executes a written statement to that effect. 16. PROJECT COORDINATOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from PROJECT COORDINATOR's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and /or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must r- roressional Services Agreement between Moorpark Redevelopment Agency and PICON Page 8 -4 000019 be provided to AGENCY within five days of the expiration of the coverages. 17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of PROJECT COORDINATOR under this agreement. PROJECT COORDINATOR expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to AGENCY, its employees, officials and agents. 18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are 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- inclusive. 19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such. 20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 21. PROJECT COORDINATOR 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 AGENCY or PROJECT COORDINATOR for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to AGENCY. It is not the intent of AGENCY to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against AGENCY for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. 22. PROJECT COORDINATOR agrees to provide immediate notice to AGENCY of any claim or loss against PROJECT COORDINATOR arising out of the work performed under this agreement. AGENCY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve AGENCY. Professional Services Agreement between Moorpark Redevelopment Agency and PICON Page B -5 UD002,•0 MOORPARK REDEVELOPMENT AGENDA REPORT CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA Redevelopment Agency Meeting of ACTION: BY To: Honorable Agency Board of Directors �d From: David C. Moe II, Redevelopment Manager f ct,6 Date: March 3, 2006 (Agency Meeting of 3/15/06) Subject: Consider Allowing the Executive Director to Make a Purchase Offer Subject to Agency Board Approval for Real Property Up to $1,000,000 DISCUSSION With the fast paced real estate market, it is difficult for the Agency to make an offer to purchase property in a timely manner. Typically, it takes the Agency approximately 2 -4 weeks to prepare a written offer. The process includes researching the property, asking for authorization to purchase the property from the Agency Board of Directors ( "Board "), and submitting the written offer to the seller. By the time the Agency makes the offer, the seller is already entertaining one or multiple offers. A streamlined process is needed to help the Agency become more effective in the real estate market. It is suggested the Board provide the Executive Director with the authority to make an offer to purchase property priced up to $1,000,000. Granting this authority would allow the Agency to generate a written offer within 2 -3 days instead of 2- 4 weeks. The $1,000,000 ceiling is high enough to endure several years of property appreciation and would allow the purchase of properties desired for redevelopment purposes. Any proposed purchase over $1,000,000 would still need to be approved by the Board prior to submitting an offer. The Board will still have the ultimate approval of the purchase. One of the conditions of the offer letter would be for Board approval of the purchase. This could be done at an Agency meeting prior to the closing of escrow. If the Board decides not to purchase the property, one of the conditions of the escrow would not be satisfied and the escrow would be terminated at no cost to the Agency. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Allow the Executive Director to make a purchase offer subject to Agency Board approval on real property up to $1,000,000. 0000102 1
