CITY OF MOORPARK,CALIFORNIA City Council IMAeating MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL of 5-6 -ao,r AGENDA REPORT zta4 da2ii.,- i F TO: Honorable City Council BY: LP),FROM: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Assistant City ager OST BY: Teri Davis, Senior Management Analyst DATE: April 30, 2015 (CC Meeting of 05/06/15) SUBJECT: Consider Agreement between the City of Moorpark and U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, Prof. Corp. for Medical Services for Employees BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The City of Moorpark(City)for many years has used a clinic located in the City of Simi Valley for pre-employment medical testing and including drug and alcohol testing for City designated positions, commercial driver license physical and drug and alcohol testing, tuberculosis testing (for Parks and Recreation employees) in compliance with California Public Resources Code Section 5163(a), and workers' compensation medical services. This provider was at one time affiliated with Simi Valley Hospital, but later became an independent company. Staff is recommending that medical services for employees now be provided by entering into an agreement with U.S. Healthworks Medical Group, Prof. Corp. (Healthworks). The closest Healthworks office is located in the City of Camarillo. The City will continue to use Simi Valley Hospital for after hour and emergency medical services. The primary reason for making a change to contract with Healthworks is that the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority), of which the City is a member, recently partnered with Harbor Health Systems for the provision of a medical provider network(MPN)for the Authority's Workers' Compensation insurance program, and Healthworks is approved by Harbor Health Systems to provide MPN services to Authority members. "A medical provider network (MPN) is a health care provider or group of providers selected by a self-insured employer and approved by the Division of Workers' Compensation to treat workers injured on the job. Each MPN must include a mix of doctors specializing in work-related injuries and doctors with expertise in general areas of medicine. MPNs are required to meet access to care standards for common occupational injuries and work-related illnesses. The regulations also require MPNs to follow all medical treatment guidelines established by the Division of Workers' Compensation and allow employees a choice of providers within the network after their first visit..."1 1 Rush,Jeff,"Medical Provider Network," The Authority, Issue 30,August 2014,Article 3 396 Honorable City Council May 6, 2015, Regular Meeting Page 2 Other reasons that staff is recommending contracting with Healthworks include the following: longer hours of operation; an onsite x-ray machine; onsite breathalyzer testing; more staff; a larger facility; electronic communication and recordkeeping capabilities; and Healthworks is fully certified to provide commercial driver license physicals and conduct drug and alcohol testing in compliance with the requirements of law. Also, there is less risk of confusing employees about where to go for medical services if the City continues to use one medical clinic to provide workers compensation medical services, as well as all other medical services that the City arranges for employees. FISCAL IMPACT There will be increased City costs for contracting with Healthworks for some of the medical services listed in Schedule A of the draft agreement (attached). The advantages of using Healthworks for providing medical services are described in the previous section of this report. No change to the Budget is expected to be required for pre-employment related medical services, and staff will review whether any change is required for commercial driver license related medical service costs for the next fiscal year Budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the Agreement subject to final language approval of the City Manager and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement.

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. 408 Honorable City Council May 6, 2015, Regular Meeting Page 14 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 section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the Work will be submitted to the City for review. 11. Consultant 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 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. 12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional 409 Honorable City Council May 6, 2015, Regular Meeting Page 15 cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to the City. 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. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the 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. 15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as the 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. Termination of this obligation is not effective until the City executes a written statement to that effect. 16. Consultant 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 Consultant'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 be provided to the City within five days of the expiration of coverage. 17. The provisions of any Workers' Compensation or similar act will not limit the 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. 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 or impairs the provisions of this section. 410 Honorable City Council May 6, 2015, Regular Meeting Page 16 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 Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to the City. It is not the intent of the City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against the City for payment 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. 411 Honorable City Council May 6, 2015, Regular Meeting Page 17 EXHIBIT B SCOPE OF SERVICES AND STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) 1.
