January 30, 2014 (CC Meeting of February 5, 2014)
SUBJECT: Consider Agreement with Visual Concepts Lighting, Inc. for Lighting
Design Services at Arroyo Vista Community Park
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
For several years, the City Council, as well as the Parks and Recreation Commission,
have expressed a desire to install additional sport field lighting at Arroyo Vista
Community Park (AVCP). The City's Municipal Code, Section 12.16.020, Hours of
Operation, states that parks with lighted facilities, such as soccer fields or football fields,
may remain open until 10:00 p.m. However, in order for the park and fields to remain
open for use after sunset, safety lighting will need to be installed within the parking lots,
and along all major roadways, walkways and associated facilities. However, lighting at
the east end of AVCP, particularly parking lots C and D, was not installed when the east
end of the park was developed in 2004. In addition, several new projects may warrant
additional lighting within the park and the majority of the existing lighting within the west
side of the park is outdated and in need of retrofitting with energy efficient lighting
systems.
Recently, the City Council approved a conceptual plan, and the funding necessary to
hire a civil engineer to prepare the plans and specifications for a recreational trail
system at AVCP. The proposed trail system includes a bicycle path and sidewalk from
the pedestrian bridge at the east end of the park to the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center
(AVRC), as well as an approximate one mile fitness loop trail around the perimeter of
AVCP. Staff will be applying for a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant in
February, 2014, to secure a portion of the funding necessary to install the recreational
trail system. Should the City Council approve the project in its entirety, lighting will need
to be provided along this new trail system.
In addition, the existing lighting that was installed within the west side of AVCP when
the park was originally developed in 1994 consists of high wattage metal halide and
high pressure sodium lighting systems. In an effort to reduce direct energy costs and
minimize the City's overall maintenance costs, staff proposes to convert the existing
389

lighting to energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) lighting. The only fixtures that may
not justify an acceptable cost recovery are the large ball field lights and the tennis court
lights. The high costs of these lights and the lack of usage typically equates to a high
return on investment (ROI), when considering the overall project costs to energy
savings.
Due to the complexity of this work, staff recommends contracting with a lighting
consultant that specializes in park lighting systems, to create a comprehensive master
lighting plan for all of AVCP. Staff recently contracted with Visual Concepts Lighting,
Inc. (Visual Concepts) to prepare the lighting plans for the proposed recreation trail
system at AVCP and staff feels that they possess the necessary expertise to prepare a
comprehensive study of the entire park site. Visual Concepts will coordinate with
MUSCO Lighting to prepare an analysis of the sport field lighting. MUSCO Lighting is
the premier sport field lighting company in California and their lighting systems are
proprietary. Visual Concepts will also coordinate with a utility consultant to determine
the overall electrical needs for AVCP.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for this work is $39, 756, which includes a 15% contingency in the amount
of $5,186. Funding was included in the FY 2013/14 budget. Additional appropriation is
not required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve professional services agreement with Visual Concepts Lighting, Inc. for lighting
design services at Arroyo Vista Community Park and authorize City Manager to sign the
agreement subject to final language approval of the City Manager and City Attorney.

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, error 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
Contractor's Name Page 11 of 15 401
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 with an
edition prior to 1992. 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.
Contractor's Name Page 12 of 15 402
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

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
solutions.

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.

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.

the City executes a written statement to that effect.

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

the City within five days of the expiration of coverage.

obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not
to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to the City,
its employees, officials and agents.

this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts or
impairs the provisions of this section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the Work reserves the right to charge the City or
Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this

of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. The
City 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 the City.
