AGENDA REPORT 4u'4-1""""`a
TO: Honorable Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recrea 'on Director 5V
BY: Jessica Sandifer, Management Analy
DATE: March 11, 2015 (CC Meeting of 03/18/2 15)
SUBJECT: Consider Request for Qualifications for Public Art Project at
Moorpark Police Services Center
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
In May 2005, the City Council adopted City Ordinance No. 321 to require certain
development projects to provide public art. Ordinance 321 also created an Art in Public
Places Fund where fees are deposited, maintained and used solely for the City's Art in
Public Places Program. In 2014, the City of Moorpark Mission Statement, Goals,
Priorities, Goals and Objectives included the following objective:
V.A.8. Consider item of public art for Police Services Center, High Street Post
Office, or Train Station by June 30, 2015.
In May 2014, the Arts Commission visited the Metrolink Station on High Street to identify
possible sites for public art and requested that staff contact Metrolink staff to obtain
additional information regarding the process involved with placing a public art installation
at the station, as well as any development constraints. Metrolink's staff was unable to
provide any detailed information on the project without knowing the size and scope of the
Artwork. The Commission also discussed the Post Office as a potential site for public art.
However, staff suggested that it would be best to wait to develop artwork in this area until
a more definitive design of the future development of the civic center property is
completed. On August 19, 2014, staff recommended that the Commission defer
discussions regarding public art at the Metrolink Station and the Post Office and focus on
the Police Services Center (PSC). The Commission agreed with staffs recommendation
and determined that the area on the north/east corner of Spring Road and Flinn Avenue
at the PSC would be the preferred location for the future public art project ("Project
Site").
The Project Site is currently improved with a square "criss-cross" pattern of turf divided
by concrete curbs and purple leaf plum trees, in addition to several shrub planters, and is
currently maintained by the County of Ventura per the terms of the lease agreement for
use of the PSC. Unfortunately, these trees are subject to boring beetle infestations and
they have already been replaced twice due to the loss of several trees. Due to the fact
133

that insecticides are only effective during certain stages of the egg development,
treatment and preventative measures are difficult to schedule, and they are ineffective
once the infestation progresses to the larvae stage. In consideration of the declining
health of the trees, it is staffs intent to re-design the landscaping in this area in
conjunction with the art project. Once an artist is selected, staff will work with the
selected artist and contract with a landscape architect during the conceptual design
phase to include landscaping that will complement and enhance the artwork.
Staff has developed the attached Request for Qualifications for the City Council's
consideration. The goals for the artwork are:
• The artwork(s) should not disrupt use of the area facilities and spaces.
• The artwork(s) should inspire respect for public safety and service.
• The artwork(s) should encourage pride in the overall reputation of police officers,
and other public safety officers both sworn and non-sworn.
• The artwork(s) should acknowledge the City's commitment to these services.
• The artwork(s) should simultaneously evoke the past while being future-directed.
The proposed timeline for the selection process is as follows:
March ,19, 2015 RFQ released
April 17, 2015 Application deadline
April — May 2015 Shortlisting and final selection of one artist team
June 3, 2015 City Council Approval
June — July, 2015 Agreement execution
August — September, 2015 Design development and approval phases
October- November,2015 Fabrication and installation phases
December 2015 Completion
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the artwork are included in the Art In Public Places fund for Fiscal Year
2014/15 in the amount of $150,000. No additional appropriation for the artwork is needed
at this time. Staff estimates that design and installation of the landscaping around the
artwork may cost as much as $75,000, depending on the extent of the renovation work
that will be required to compliment the artwork. Staff will return to City Council for an
appropriation for this work once we have finalized a conceptual plan for the artwork.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Request for Qualifications and authorize selection process as contained in the
agenda report.

EXHIBIT A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Agreement, Artist 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. Artist 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 City 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 liability 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 coverage 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 Section 3700 et seq. of the California Labor Code which
requires every employer to be insured again 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 Artist
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 City prior to
cancellation or modification.
159
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 Artist 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 Artist owns no vehicles,
this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the
general liability policy described above. If Artist or 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 in a form 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 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
Agreement with ARTIST Page 15 16 0
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 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. 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 Contract. 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, 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 Artist or
deducted from sums due Artist, at City option.
8. Artist agrees to endorse, and to require others to endorse, the insurance
provided 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
Agreement with ARTIST Page 16 161
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.
Artist 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 Artist 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
Agreement with ARTIST Page 17 16 2
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party
or insured to be all-inclusive.
19. Section 19 of the Exhibit "A", Insurance Requirements, is Intentionally
Deleted.
20. Section 20 of the Exhibit "A", Insurance Requirements, is Intentionally
Deleted.
21. Section 21 of the Exhibit "A", Insurance Requirements, is Intentionally
Deleted.
