AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: July 13, 2010 (CC Meeting of 7121/2010)
SUBJECT: Consider Professional Services Agreement with Reel Life Pictures to
Provide Video Production, Operations and Maintenance Services for
the City Government Access Channel MPTV 10
DISCUSSION
On August 12, 2008, the Council approved a two-year professional services agreement
with Reel Life Pictures (RLP) for video production services. RLP was the prevailing
proposer among a field of seven (7) submissions that were received. In 2008. RLP
came in during a difficult transition for video services at the City, and has performed
exceptionally well for the City. Council is being asked to approve a three-year
Agreement, with two one-year options available to the City, at the same cost and scope
of work.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to the City for video production has declined under the RLP Agreement. RLP
costs were $21,804.25 in FY 2008-2009, and $17,120.97 in FY 2009-2010. Included in
the RLP costs were additional video production such as the slide shows and videos for
both the Poindexter Park Expansion and Skate Park, and the new U.S. Post Office on
High Street. The only additional consideration RLP requests is that the third operator
(used during certain Council meetings) be compensated at the regular rate ($50) and
not the trainee rate ($25). The third operator inserts titles and headings during the
telecast. The approved FY 2010/2011 Public Information budget includes sufficient
funds to pay for the video production services anticipated.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Agreement subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City
Attorney, and authorize City Manager to sign the Agreement.
Attachment 1: Draft Agreement

terms hereof, the City upon at least seventy-two (72) hours written notice to

under this Agreement.

in the performance of this Agreement. In the event Vendor fails to obtain such indemnity
obligations from others as required here, Vendor agrees to be fully responsible

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 Vendor 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 Vendor by

EXHIBIT B
Insurance Requirements
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Vendor will
maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Vendor will
use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does
not meet the requirements set forth here, Vendor agrees to amend, supplement or
endorse the existing coverage to do so. Vendor 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.
Vendor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "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 and $2,000,000 in the 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 Vendor owns no vehicles, this requirement
may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy
described above. If Vendor or Vendor employees will use personal autos in any way on
this project, Vendor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each
such person.
Worker's 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.
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 VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Vendor. Vendor and
City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Vendor:
Professional Services Agreement between
City of Moorpark and Reel Life Pictures
73
1. Vendor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage
required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees,
servants, agents, and independent Vendors ("Agency indemnities"), using
standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992. Vendor
also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Vendor, or Vendor's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of
subrogation prior to a loss. Vendor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City
regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all
contractors and subcontractor's to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Vendor 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
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. 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.
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 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. Vendor shall not make
any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or
reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without 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 Vendor'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 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 Vendor or deducted from sums due Vendor,
at City option.
Professional Services Agreement between
City of Moorpark and Reel Life Pictures
74
8. Certificates are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any
cancellation of coverage. Vendor 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 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 Vendor or any subvendor, 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. Vendor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with
the project, who is brought onto or involved in the project by Vendor, provide the
same minimum insurance coverage required of Vendor. Vendor 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.
Vendor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others
engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Vendor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retention or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees
that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, 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 Vendor'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 Vendor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible of
self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. 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 Vendor ninety (90)
days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Vendor, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to 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. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of
the City to inform Vendor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no
Professional Services Agreement between
City of Moorpark and Reel Life Pictures
75
way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Vendor 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. Termination of this obligation is not effective until
City executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Vendor 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
Vendor's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance
and/or additional insured endorsement is required in these specifications
applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five
days of the expiration of the coverages.
17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Vendor under this agreement. Vendor expressly agrees not to use
any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to 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 give coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party of 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 with or
impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Vendor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party
involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Vendor 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 City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There
Professional Services Agreement between
City of Moorpark and Reel Life Pictures
76
shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with
respect thereto.
22. Vendor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Vendor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. 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 City.
