SUBJECT: Consider: 1) A Project Design of the Mountain Meadows Park Handball
Wall (Project); 2) Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009/10
Budget by Authorizing Loan from Park Improvement Community Wide
Fund to Fund Project; and 3) The Selection of Toro Enterprises, Inc. to
Supply and Install the Project
BACKGROUND
The City Council, on June 17, 2009, approved the City's Mission Statement, Priorities,
Goals, and Objectives for FY 2009/10 (Objectives). Item VI.A.14 of the Objectives
(Construct a ball wall at Mountain Meadows Park by October 31, 2009), is identified as a
staff effort to be accomplished within 0 -2 years. The Project would achieve the Objective.
Staff discussed the needs of the Project with an engineering company retained by the City
and designs and specifications were developed. A soil sample expert was also retained by
the City and a soil sample study was received. In July of this year, staff requested informal
bids, for both a masonry wall and a concrete wall, from ten Contractors to provide these
services. One of these Contractors submitted a proposal.
DISCUSSION
A proposal for the Project was received from Toro Enterprises, Inc., for $48,937 for the
masonry wall and $47,417 for the concrete wall. Staff reviewed the proposal and found it
to be responsive to the informal bid request. The apparent qualified low bidder is Toro
Enterprises, Inc.
The original estimate for this Project, a Park Improvement Fund (PIF) Zone 3 (2113)
project, was $25,000; however, the original estimate is too low for several reasons. First, it
did not consider the complete project which included a soil sample study and what
information would be in the study. The soil sample study revealed a high level of sulfate, a
concrete corrosive, and as a result, a higher concentration of concrete was determined to
be needed for the concrete slab of the handball wall. This higher concentration, 4000
pounds per square inch (psi) rather than the original estimate of 2500 psi, requires a
specialized inspector to be present while the concrete slab is being mixed and poured (the
.0

City's Building and Safety Inspectors are not qualified for this type of inspection). Second,
the original estimate considered a concrete slab foundation that was four inches thick and
the City Engineer /Public Works Director revised the thickness to six inches to help prevent
cracking. Third, the original estimate considered painted concrete while the recommended
design uses colored concrete. Finally, $7,300 of the original. estimate was used for the
design and soil samples and another $1,100 will be needed for the specialized inspector.
The 2009 Basketball Court Lighting Project (Basketball Project) will have PIF Zone 3
(2113) funds in the amount of $21,000 remaining upon completion of the Basketball
Project. This $21,000, if transferred, would bring the Project Fund to $46,000. A $10,000
loan from the Community Wide PIF Zone (2300) will increase PIF Zone 3 by $10,000
making a total of $56,000 available in PIF Zone 3 (2113) for this Project.
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution (Attachment A), amending FY
2009/10 budget to formally appropriate an additional $31,000 in funds for this Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
As discussed above, the revised estimated cost of the Project is $56,000, approximately
$31,000 more than what was included in the FY 2009/10 budget (the original estimate was
$25,000). However, PIF Zone 3 (2113) funding sources, with $46,000 available for this
Project, require temporary loans from the Community PIF Zone (2300) totaling
approximately $10,000. The Council should note that the interest that would be earned by
the loaning funding source will be negatively impacted in an approximate amount of $200;
although, the interest would be repaid based on the average local agency investment fund
rate for the previous, along with the principal. The timeline for repayment of the loan will
depend on the pace of new development and payment of parkland fees. The total cost to
the City for the Project will be $56,000 (2113).

Consultants, and Engineers, officers, agents, and employees (Indemnitees) from and
against any and all claims, charges, damages, demands, actions, proceedings, losses,
stop notices, costs, expenses (including counsel fees), judgments, civil fines and
penalties, liabilities or any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be sustained or
suffered, by or secured against the Indemnitees arising out of or encountered in
connection with this Agreement or the performance of the Project including, but not
limited to, death of or bodily or personal injury to persons or damage to property,
including property owned by or under the care and custody of City, and for civil fines
and penalties, that may arise from or be caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent or
other act or omission of Contractor, its officers, agents, employees or subcontractors
including, but not limited to, liability arising from:
A. Any dangerous, hazardous unsafe or defective condition of, in or on the
premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may exist by reason of any act,
omission, neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Contractor, its
officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors;
4
292
B. Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of the premises by
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors under or pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise;
C. Any act, omission or negligence of Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, or
subcontractors;

terms or conditions of this Agreement or any applicable federal, state, regional,
or municipal law, ordinance, rule, or regulation; and

referred to in sub - sections 1, 2, 3, and 4, existing or conducted upon or arising

Contractor's obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such
claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense,
judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an
Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of City under any provision of this

liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligence is

those set forth her in this Section from each and every subcontractor or any other

Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity 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.
This indemnity shall survive termination of the Agreement or Final Payment hereunder.
This indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Indemnitees may
have under the law or under any other Agreement Documents or Agreements. In the
even any claim or demand made against any party which is entitled to be indemnified
hereunder, City may, in its sole discretion, reserve, retain or apply any monies to the
Contractor under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving such claims; provided,
however, City may release such funds if the Contractor provides City with reasonable
5
293
assurance of protection of the Indemnitees' interests. City shall, in its sole discretion,
determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
N
2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of the City to any
party involved in this Agreement or related documents applies only to the
extent of insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be
named as an additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein,
expressly retains the right to subrogate against any party for sums not
paid by insurance. For its part, Contractor agrees to waive subrogation
rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance
proceeds, and to require all contractors, subcontractors, or others involved
in any way with the project contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Contractor or required
of others by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to
delete the subrogation condition as to the city, or to specifically allow
Contractor or others providing insurance herein to waive subrogation prior
to a loss. This endorsement shall be obtained regardless of existing policy
wording that may appear to allow such waivers.
4. It is agreed by Contractor and City that insurance provided pursuant to
these requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing
coverage for the vicarious liability of City, or to the supervisory role, if any,
of City. All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this or any other
Agreement (express or implied) in any way relating to City is intended to
apply to the full extent of the policies involved. Nothing referred to here or
contained in any agreement involving City in relation to the project
contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be construed to limit the
application of insurance coverage in any way.
5. 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.
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 discover period) that may affect City's
protection without City's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
binders of coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insuranc3e, at the
option of City, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this
Agreement. In the event such proof of 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
301
City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from
sums due Contractor, at City option.
8. Contractor agrees to endorse, and to required others to endorse, the
insurance provided pursuant to these requirements, to require 30 days
notice to City and the appropriate tender prior to cancellation of such
liability coverage and notice of any material alteration or non - renewal of
any such coverage, and to require contractors, subcontractors, and any
other party in any way involved with the project contemplated by this
Agreement to do likewise.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance
coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, and
any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in
the project by Contractor, 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 project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage 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 Agreement. Contractor agrees
that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged
in this project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Contractor agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required
herein, primary, umbrella and excess, will have the same starting and
expiration date. Contractor agrees further that all other third party
coverages required herein will likewise have concurrent starting and
ending dates.
12. 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 on the project contemplated by this Agreement to self- insure its
obligations to 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.
13. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement
to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the
302
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
City.
14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining
to the project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any
activity commences in furtherance of performance under this Agreement.
15. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Contractor of non - compliance with any insurance
requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does
it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
16. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type
pursuance to this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the
Agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. The insurance shall
include but not be limited to products and completed operations and
discontinued operations, where applicable. Termination of this obligation
is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
17. Contractor agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers'
compensation statute or similar statute, in relation to the City, and to
require all subcontractors and any other person or entity involved in the
project contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations
on other requirements or 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 all- inclusive.
19. Any provision in any of the construction documents dealing with the
insurance coverage provided pursuant to these requirements, is
subordinate to and superseded by the requirements contained herein.
These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct
from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties
to be interpreted as such.
20. All liability coverage provided according to these requirements must be
endorsed to provide a separate aggregate limit for the project that is the
subject of this Agreement and evidencing products and completed
operations coverage for not less than two years after issuance of a final
certificate of occupancy by all appropriate government agencies or
acceptance of the completed work by City.
303
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by
any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to change
City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required
by this Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference
to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost
of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against
City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional
Liability coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project through
Contractor. City shall determine the liability limit.
