AGENDA REPORT BY:
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: -Yugal K. Lail, City Engineer/Public Works Director
Prepared by: Shaun Kroes, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: May 6, 2009 (CC meeting of 05/20/09)
SUBJECT: Consider Award of Agreement to Direct A/V, Inc.for Moorpark Metrolink
Station Security Camera Maintenance Services
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
The City Council, on January 16, 2008, accepted the installation of a security camera
system at the Moorpark Metrolink Train Station and Moorpark Police Services Center as
completed. Direct A/V, the contractor that installed the system, provided preventative
maintenance services for the first year. Staff proposes continuing the quarterly service with
Direct A/V at the rate of $2,100 per quarter (including $1,000 in pre-authorized repair
costs). The City will receive federal funding for 80% of costs associated with preventative
maintenance of the security camera.
Preventative maintenance services are described in Appendix A of the Agreement (see
Attachment A). A brief overview of the Scope of Services includes:
• Clean all six cameras and camera equipment
• Check mounting equipment of all cameras and camera equipment
• Check power connections and Ethernet connections at Metrolink Station and Police
Services Center
• Check signal levels, link quality and errors of the security camera system
Direct A/V has also submitted hourly rates for services that may be requested by the City
for additional maintenance services of the security camera system if needed, or, if the City
determines that it wants additional work performed on the security camera system. If
during the course of its preventative maintenance service Direct A/V discovers a problem
with the security camera system, such as a broken lens or cut cables, Direct AN is
permitted to fix the problems on the scene, so long as repair costs do not exceed $1,000
(including staff time and parts). If repair costs will exceed $1,000, Direct A/V will be
required to report the problem and wait for a separate purchase order.

existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not
meet requirements set forth here, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse
the existing coverage to do so. Contractor 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 the City in excess of the limits and
coverage required in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be
available to the City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)

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 Contractor owns no vehicles, this

policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor's employees will use personal autos
in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability for
each such person.
Workers' Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as

requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying

payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at
the time insured's liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured
first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits
by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to the City for injury to
employees of Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of
coverage provided is subject to approval by the City following receipt of proof of
insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than
$ aggregate.
Page 2
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

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 1992. 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
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
Page 3
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 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 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 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.
2
Page 4
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
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
U002%5�
Page 5
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
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.

5. TERMINATION
Termination for Convenience - The City, by written notice, may terminate this
Agreement, in whole or in part, when it is in the Government's interest. If this
Agreement is terminated, the City shall be liable only for payment under the payment
provisions of this Agreement for services rendered before the effective date of
termination.
Termination for Default [Breach or- Cause] - If the Contractor does not deliver
supplies in accordance with the Agreement delivery schedule, or, if the Agreement is for
services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the Agreement, or if
the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the Agreement, the City may
terminate this Agreement for default. Termination shall be effected by serving a notice
of termination on the Contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in
default. The Contractor will only be paid the Agreement price for supplies delivered and
accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set
forth in the Agreement.
If it is later determined by the City that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not
performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are
beyond the control of the Contractor, the City, after setting up a new delivery of
performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the
termination as a termination for convenience.
Opportunity to Cure [General Provision] - The City in its sole discretion may, in the
case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor seventy-two (72) hours
in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time
period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions
If Contractor fails to remedy to City's satisfaction the breach or default or any of the
terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement within [ten (10) days] after receipt by
Contractor or written notice from City setting forth the nature of said breach or default,
City shall have the right to terminate the Agreement without any further obligation to
Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude
City from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for
said breach or default.
Waiver of Remedies for any Breach - In the event that City elects to waive its
remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this
Agreement, such waiver by City shall not limit City's remedies for any succeeding
breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement.
