SUBJECT: Consider Release of Request for Qualifications for
Professional Services for Construction Manager for the Ruben
Castro Human Services Center
BACKGROUND
The City's past practice for providing construction management services for
major construction projects has been to retain a Construction Management firm
to provide basic services using the traditional "Design- Bid - Build" approach to
project delivery. In view of the City's recent experience with this project delivery
method for the Police Services Center, staff is proposing that the City utilize the
Construction Manager — Multiple Prime method to deliver the Ruben Castro
Human Services Center. This method is currently being used by many cities
throughout California including the City of Camarillo for its recently completed
Municipal Library. In this method the Construction Manager has an "agency"
relationship with the City; manages multiple trade contractors; assists during all
phases with planning, budgeting, and scheduling; provides constructability
reviews, estimating and bid - ability reviews; and prepares the bid packages.
DISCUSSION
There are four basic options for providing project delivery systems for the
construction of public facilities in California. These are: 1) The traditional Design -
Bid -Build method; 2) The Design -Build method; 3) Agency Construction
Management method; and 4) The Construction Management at Risk method.
1. In the Design- Bid -Build method which has been traditionally used by the
City, the architect designs the project to the City's specifications, general
contractors submit bids based on the architect's plans and specifications
and the lowest responsible bidder builds the project. The general
t � � e)o

contractor uses the services of subcontractors who become contractually
obligated to the general contractor. The public agency retains one or
more project managers to manage the project through the construction
phase and also retains the architect in an advisory role. Advantages to this
method include:
Widespread use and familiarity
A perceived fairness in the process
• Lowest initial construction price
Bid based upon completed documents
Architect and project manager work directly for the owner (City)
Disadvantages to this method are:
• Lengthy process
• Potential adversarial relationship between owner, architect, and
General Contractor
• No preconstruction services for cost control
• Costs unknown until bids are finalized
• Intensifies potential for change orders
• Fast -track option not available
• Low bidder potentially not qualified. (City requires prequalification
for projects over $ 1 million)
• High potential for litigation, cost overruns, and delays
• Less control over quality of the builder
• Builder is working to benefit himself
• No owner control over subcontractors
2. In the Design -Build method a general contractor, architect, or other duly
licensed entity is contracted to complete both design and construction
services as a single source. There are a growing number of companies
that specialize in this method of project delivery.
Advantages to this method include:
• Single source contract to complete both design and construction
• Early cost and schedule control of the project
• Reduced overall project duration
• Fast -track option available
• Potential to reduce complex claims exposure
Disadvantages to this method are:
• Complexity of structure, especially in the public sector
• Either design or construction could suffer if the right team is not
assembled
• Potential adversarial relationship
• Potential to limit owner /architect communication

• Potential loss of owner control over project
• When disputes do occur, the disputes are generally significant in
nature
• Loss of traditional checks and balances
3. For the Agency as Construction Management or Multi -prime method
the owner uses qualifications -based selection to hire an architect to design
the project and uses qualifications -based selection to hire a construction
manager (CM -MP). In this method the CM -MP has an agency relationship
with the owner; manages multiple trade contractors instead of retaining a
general contractor; assists during all phases with planning, budgeting, and
scheduling; provides constructability reviews, estimating and bid - ability
reviews; and prepares the bid packages. Advantages to this method
include:
• Qualifications -based selection allows the owner to benefit from
unique skills and experience of the CM -MP
• Throughout the project the CM -MP maintains responsibility of
looking out for the owner's best interests
• Owner gets advantage of CM -MP's staff and general contracting
expertise throughout the project timeline
• CM -MP can provide extensive pre- construction services including
scheduling, budgets for project and each trade or individual
projects, cash flow forecasts, and value engineering studies
• CM -MP provides project management and superintendence for
project reducing time required by City Staff foe direct project
management
• Owner benefits from open book costing
Disadvantages to this method are:
• CM -MP is not at risk for budget or schedule
• If an escrow account is not used, the owner's accounting
department may need to process 25 -30 more checks a month
• Lack of a single "guarantee ", bonded price for the total project
4. For the Construction Management at Risk (CM @R) method the owner
uses qualification -based selection to hire architect to design the project
and to hire a CM @R. The CM @R assists during the preconstruction
phase with planning, budgeting and scheduling, and provides
constructability reviews estimating, value engineering and bid - ability
reviews. The CM @R becomes the general contractor after providing a
GMP (guaranteed maximum price) based on drawings available and
drives the bid process. The owner has a single contract for construction
with CM @R as the general contractor. Advantages to this method include:
Honorable City Council
January 16, 2008
Page 4
• Qualifications -based selection allows the owner to benefit from
unique skills and experience of the CM @R
• Qualifications -based selection shifts primary motivation from
financial (of the general contractor) to reputation of the CM @R
• CM @R commits to a GMP on a basis that includes assumptions,
allowances and certain contingencies, affording the owner a degree
of certainty regarding the overall price
• Added assurances of Bond from CM @R
• CM @R's subcontractors can be pre - qualified
• Continuity of preconstruction and construction phases
• Cost certainty allows for early purchases and fast track
Disadvantages to this method are:
• "Line in the Sand ". Once the GMP is agreed to, the most
fundamental character of the relationship is changed and in
addition to acting in the owner's interest, the CM @R also protects
himself /herself particularly from financial implications
• GMP is developed on less than 100% details, can lead to increased
prices or exclusions by trades and CM @R
• Depending on quality of drawings, CM @R estimates may be
conservative and include larger contingencies
• Disputes arise over what was logically implied, but not included in
incomplete plans and specifications
• If CM @R underestimates unbid work, or if the architect/engineer or
owner make capricious changes or additions, then change orders
result and adversarial relationships can arise
• Like Design- Bid -Build method, change orders typically are greater
since each carries the burden of CM @R mark up
• General Law Cities in California may be at risk of non - compliance
with the State Public Contracts Code
Staff is recommending the use of the Construction Manager - Multiple Prime
method as it offers the best available opportunity to avoid the problems
encountered during the Police Services Center Project. This method shifts much
of the responsibility to deliver a high quality project within the approved budget to
the contract construction manager. This method also better defines the
relationship between the CM and the Architect and will require less field time
from the City's management staff. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the
Draft RFQ.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact at this time. A recommendation for professional services
agreement based on proposals received as a result of this RFQ will be presented
Honorable City Council
January 16, 2008

to the City Council at a later date. It is anticipated that this project delivery
method will reduce overall expenses for the project by helping to avoid costly
change orders and contractor disputes that could lead to post- construction
litigation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to circulate a Request for Qualifications for professional services
using the Construction Manager - Multiple Prime method for delivery of the Ruben
Castro Human Services Center.

CITY OF MOORPARK
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
NEW HUMAN SERVICES CENTER
The City of Moorpark is seeking a highly qualified firm to perform construction
management services for the City's New Ruben Castro Human Services Center, which
will be a multi -prime contractor project. Services are needed during the pre -
construction, bid, construction, and post- construction phases of the project. The
Construction Manager (CM) will provide necessary input to the project design,
contractor selection and oversight of the contractors' performance while representing
the best interests of the City of Camarillo in this important civic project to ensure a
quality, cost effective project that is completed on schedule and within budget.
Project Description and Status
The Human Services Center project consists of design and construction of a single -
story, 25,000 square foot facility complex including a 10,000 square foot medical clinic
and a 15,000 square foot services building. A preliminary site plan and floor plans are
provided in Exhibit A. The project is located on a vacant 2 -acre site at 500 Spring Road
in the City of Moorpark immediately north of the Moorpark Police Services Center. The
total estimated hard construction cost, excluding FF &E, is $13.9 million. The City of
Moorpark is undertaking this project with the assistance the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Moorpark, the Community Development Block Grant Program, and the State
of California Health Facilities Financing Authority.
The Rubin Castro Human Services Center will provide a new public complex to serve
the growing needs of the local Moorpark community, offering educational and health
related social services that are not readily available in Moorpark or the surrounding
area, in a two building 2.38 acre Campus. The Campus is adjacent to the recently
opened police station and is designed to be compatible with modern California mission
style of the Police Services Facility. The project includes Medical, Dental, Counseling,
Educational, and Charitable services offices and enhances the human services
component of the City.
Site Information- The 2.38 acre parcel, measuring approximately 260 ft. x 400 ft, is
approximately 4 to 5 feet in elevation higher than the adjacent street. The Center
exterior will include an 85 -space parking area, courtyard entry with public art, patron
seating, and decorative landscaping. The site has been elevated from the adjacent
street level to insure that it remains free from any flood hazards during storm conditions
A temporary building housing the Catholic Charities Community Services Center and
Food Pantry is currently located at the east end of the site with access from Minor
Street. Following completion of the new facility, this building will be removed and the
remainder of the site will be improved with additional parking and landscaping. The area
around the site is subject to flooding and geotechnical issues include a potential for
liquefaction possibly requiring the use of a specialized foundation.
Architectural Design Features - A number of design issues came into play in the
development of the Human Services Center that influenced the design direction.
• Compatibility with the design to the Police Services Center but with more inviting
and commercial elevations.
• Creating a park like setting with convenient vehicular access
• Use of the "Savings by Design" process using the "Systems Approach" to reduce
the overall building energy usage by maximizing the efficiency of the interaction of
the mechanical and lighting systems.
• Roofs will be flat with parapets sized to conceal rooftop mounted mechanical
equipment.
• Incorporation of a possible Day Labor component to the North West portion of the
building to address the issues of providing services and support facilities for short
term labor workers.
• Allowance for future expansion of the planned facilities.
The design uses protected exterior circulation around a central breezeway to reduce the
heating and cooling requirements of the building while at the same time providing
shaded arcades for the glazing areas. Extensive and intelligent use of landscaping will
soften the hard edges of the buildings while also providing shading for the users and
glazing areas, reduce heat gain and aid in percolation of run -off. The plaza hardscape
area is broken and interspersed with landscaped areas to provide variety and access to
the buildings. Utilization of landscape and lighter paving colors also will reduce heat
islands and solar gain at parking and pedestrian walkways.
Buildinq Materials - The buildings will be primarily steel frame structures with an exterior
plaster finish with block, cast stone, steel and wood pergolas and deep recessed
window elements. Various types of stucco will be used to emphasize building elements.
The design incorporates the use of some sky - lighting to bring natural lighting into some
of the tenant spaces.
Landscape Design Features - The intention of the landscape design is to blends
textures and colors to create visual harmonies that emphasize focal points, reinforce
orientation, circulation, and encourage both active and passive use. The curving
walkways through the south east green offers users the opportunity to gather informally
under deciduous trees that allow sun in the winter and shade in the summer.
Aesthetic Value - All trees, shrubs, vines, ground covers, and lawn have been selected
for their colorful and textural aesthetic value. The Windmill Palms, planted in a linear
arrangement echo the angles of the buildings and the surrounding linear patterned
hardscape. A variety of evergreen, deciduous, and flowering trees ensures year -round
interest and change. Flowering shrubs and perennials also add a continuous cycle of
color to the landscape.
Plant Materials - Climatic Compatibility - All plants are grouped in hydro -zones
according to water needs and will be irrigated on separate valves to ensure efficient
water usage. Much of the plant material is drought - tolerant, and is appropriate to this
climate. Lawn is limited to a small specific area designed to be used and enjoyed by the
users.
The bid process for the multi -prime contracts is scheduled to begin in 2008, with an
estimated 13 months of construction to begin in 2008.
II. Project Team Organization
In the organizational hierarchy the Construction Manager reports directly to the City
Manager, who is the overall project director. Day to day project oversight will be by the
Assistant City Manager who will be the CM's primary liaison with the City. Supporting
the Assistant City Manager is the City Engineer and Deputy City Manager. The CM will
be responsible for the day -to -day project management throughout each phase, and will
work closely with the Architect who will provide architectural, engineering, interior,
technology, and landscape design services.
The various City departments that will provide technical support are: Community
Development (including Planning and Building & Safety), Public Works (including
Engineering), Administrative Services (including Information Services), Fire, Police,
Finance, and the City Attorney.

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
1. Consultant 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 consultants ( "Agency
indemnities "), using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior
to 1992. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors and subcontractors to
do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right
of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant 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 Consultant 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. Consultant 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 Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or
Professional Services Agreement between
City of Moorpark and
ir
r,U, ��v
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 Consultant or deducted from sums due
Consultant, at City option.
8. Certificates are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any
cancellation of coverage. Consultant 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 Consultant or any subconsultant, 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. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the project, who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant,
provide the same minimum insurance coverage 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 project will be submitted to City for
review.
11. Consultant 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 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
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 Consultant ninety (90)
days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
Professional Services Agreement between
City of Moorpark and
additional cost to the Consultant, 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. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part
of the City to inform Consultant 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.
15. Consultant 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. 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. A coverage binder or letter from
Consultant'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 Consultant under this agreement. Consultant 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.

City of Moorpark and
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. Consultant 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
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 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. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Consultant 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.
