BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
At the March 20, 2013 meeting, staff brought this item before Council for consideration
and stated that the item would be placed on the consent calendar at the next meeting
with the Professional Services Agreement attached for consideration.
Staff discussed the Request for Proposal process for the new City of Moorpark Website
Design and Hosting project and that after review of proposals and other criteria staff is
recommending moving forward with CivicPlus. The CivicPlus solution provides the most
functionality for the lowest cost and upon speaking with numerous customer references,
CivicPlus clients who were spoken with stated they are very pleased with their
experiences both working with CivicPlus through the design process as well as with
their continued support.
The CivicPlus proposal includes conceptual design, migration of existing content,
website configuration, training, hosting, support, and ongoing maintenance with the
option of a redesign after 48 months of continuous service.
FISCAL IMPACT
As previously discussed, the fiscal impact to the General Fund for the recommended
four-year Agreement with CivicPlus will be $53,808.10. Staff is also estimating that up to
an additional $5,000 will be required for related services in FY 2013-14, such as
professional photography. The City's current FY 2012-13 approved budget has $25,000
allocated to the website project. Staff will be requesting a budget allocation in the next
FY 2013-14 budget for the additional cost for the CivicPlus Agreement and related
services. Future budgets will need to include the ongoing website annual support,
maintenance, and hosting costs.

consent.
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.

a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation or nonrenewal of coverage for each required
coverage, except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required.
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 90 days advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional 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. As 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.
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.
