BY: Jessica Sandifer, Program Manage
DATE: May 24, 2016 (Special CC Meeting of 5/25/16)
SUBJECT: Consider Acceptance of Grant from Ventura County Regional Urban
Landscape Efficiency NC RULE) Program
BACKGROUND
The County of Ventura applied for a Proposition 84 Integrated Regional Water
Management Grant for several programs and projects, one of which was the VC RULE
Program. The County was awarded the funds in 2011. The VC RULE program is a
pass-thru grant to provide funding for customers of participating water districts to
receive a free water audit of their property to determine opportunities for installation of
water conservation devices. Once the water audit is completed, the grant also provides
for purchase and installation of the recommended water conservation devices. The
County of Ventura asked the City of Oxnard to be the grant administrator for the grant
funds. The City of Oxnard was responsible for finding and contracting with the
consultant who would perform the water audits, purchase the recommended water
conservation measures, and install them. The City of Oxnard contracted with Waterwise
Consulting, Inc. (Consultant) to perform the grant requirements. The grant was offered
to ten local water agencies, through a Participant Agreement. These agencies are
considered the Project Participants. Ventura County Water Works District #1
(VCWWD#1) is a recipient of the grant funding.
DISCUSSION
The VC RULE program requires that the project participants identify customers within
their districts with the highest irrigation water rates. The project participants will notify
these eligible customers and provide contact information for them to the Consultant. Per
program requirements, the VCWWD#1 staff identified the City of Moorpark as one of the
larger users of water within the district and reached out to staff to see if the City would
be interested in participating in the VC RULE program.
Adopted City Council objective, IV.A.19, is a project to install the second phase of a
centralized irrigation system for City facilities, parks and landscape maintenance
districts. The City completed Phase I of this work in 2010 and installed WeatherTRAK

irrigation controllers in the LMD areas in order to help reduce irrigation water use.
Phase II of this work includes the installation of the WeatherTRAK controllers within the
City parks. WeatherTRAK irrigation controllers are applicable replacement controllers
under the VC RULE program and acceptance of the services provided by the program
would assist the City with completion of a portion of this objective. Based on preliminary
discussions with the project consultant, approximately nine irrigation controllers within
seven City parks would be replaced through the program. Staff is recommending that
the controllers be replaced at Mountain Meadows Park, Campus Canyon Park, Campus
Park, Poindexter Park, Tierra Rejada Park, Glenwood Park, and College View Park.
The Agreements between the project participants and the City of Oxnard as grant
administrator do not provide indemnification or insurance protection to the customers of
the participating water districts. District customers that participate in the program are
required to sign a Hold Harmless Agreement with the Consultant, indemnifying the City
of Oxnard and the project participants against any claims due to damage or loss arising
from participation in the program. It has been stated by the project participants that the
City is covered under the Agreements as a customer of the participating water district,
however, since the Agreements are silent and, in fact, have an express prohibition
against inferring rights to third parties under the Agreement, staff feels it is best to
protect the City's interests with an agreement and appropriate insurance
documentation. The program requirements were not written in consideration of
municipal participation, likely due to the fact that the City of Moorpark is the only City in
the County, besides Ojai, that could participate in the program by virtue of being a
customer of a participating water district.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City to participate in the VC RULE program. The cost of the
water audit and implementation of the water conservation devices will be covered by the
Proposition 84 grant. The grant funding available to the City for this work is
approximately $45,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the City's participation in the VC RULE program; and
2. Approve Agreement with Water Wise Consulting, Inc. and authorize City
Manager to sign all documents relevant to the program, subject to final language
approval of the City Manager.
Attachment: Agreement

Contractor's performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the
operations conducted by Contractor, including the City's active or passive negligence,
except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of

obligations from others as required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible
according to the terms of this Section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these
requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a
waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth
here is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or this Section.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor
by reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of

harmless and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said
insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, and expenses described in this Section.

Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and the City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Contractor:
1. Contractor 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 2004. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Contractor, or Contractor's employees, or agents, from waiving the right
to subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor 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. Contractor 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.
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 Contractor'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
WaterWise Consulting, Inc. Page 11 of 14
11
premium so paid by the City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor
or deducted from sums due Contractor, at the City's option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to the City
of any cancellation or reduction of coverage. Contractor 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 Contractor 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. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Contractor, provide
the same minimum insurance required of Contractor. Contractor 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. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors
and others engaged in the Work will be submitted to the City for review.
11. Contractor 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 Contractor'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 Contractor, 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 Contractor 90
days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Contractor, 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. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with an insurance
WaterWise Consulting, Inc. Page 12 of 14
12
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. Contractor 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. Contractor 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 Contractor'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 Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor 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. Contractor 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
Contractor 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. Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. The City
WaterWise Consulting, Inc. Page 13 of 14
13
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.
