TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Michael Atkin, Recreation /Community Services Manager/ 10
DATE: January 24, 2008 (CC meeting of February 20, 2008)
SUBJECT: Consider Request for Proposals to Provide Bus Excursion Services and
Authorization to Advertise for Proposals
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
City Council is being asked to consider a Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide bus
transportation services for existing programs offered by the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department. Examples of these programs include: the Summer Beach
Bus, Camp Moorpark and the Active Adult Center's excursions to points of interest. The
purpose of this RFP is to secure a qualified contractor through a contractual arrangement to
provide bus transportation for various recreation programs. The City's fixed route and
paratransit services are not a part of the proposed RFP as they are handled through a
separate process.
In 2004, the City competitively bid all of the above listed bus services and awarded a
contract to Durham. The City's current contract with Durham expires May 31, 2008. Staff
has prepared an updated RFP for circulation. If the RFP is approved, cost proposals will be
due to the City on March 26, 2008. Staff anticipates that it would present a
recommendation to award a contract to the lowest qualified bidder at the April 19 Council
meeting. Upon Council approval, the new contract would be effective June 1, 2008, in time
for the start of Camp Moorpark and the Beach Bus Program. The proposed Agreement has
a one -year term with the possibility of 2, one -year extensions at the discretion of the City. A
complete copy of the RFP, including the proposed Agreement and Scope of Service is
included as Attachment A to this Agenda Report.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no new impact associated with the proposed RFP. As indicated above, the
transportation services covered by the RFP are for existing programs. Funds for the
remaining fiscal year have already been approved in the current budget. As a part of the
Honorable City Council
CC Meeting of February 20, 2008
Page 2
FY 2008/09 budget process, staff will request funding for the Beach Bus (Local TDA and
fares), Camp Moorpark (General Fund from registration fees) and Active Adult Program
(Trust Fund from trip fees).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Request for Proposal and authorize staff to advertise for receipt of the bids.

EXHIBIT 1 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Consultant will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Consultant will use
existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not
meet requirements set forth here, Consultant agrees to amend, supplement or endorse
the existing coverage to do so. Consultant 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.
Consultant shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)
"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 $5,000,000 per occurrence.
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 Consultant owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non -owned auto endorsement to the general liability
policy described above. If Consultant or Consultant's employees will use personal
autos in any way on this project, Consultant shall provide evidence of personal auto
liability for each such person.
Workers' Compensation on a state - approved policy form providing statutory benefits as
required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,0000,000 per accident or
disease.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying
coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include
a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a maximum of $1,000,000
self- insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by umbrella.
Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs 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
`100050
employees of Consultant, subconsultants 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
$1,000,000 per occurrence.
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 of VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and the 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 the City, its officials,
employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement 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
to subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant 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. Consultant 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.
f X00053
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 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
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 Consultant or deducted
from sums due Consultant, 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. 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 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. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved
with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by Consultant, provide
the same minimum insurance 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 Work will be submitted to the City for
review.
11. Consultant 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 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 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 Consultant 90
f 000054
days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the Consultant, 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. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the
part of the City to inform Consultant 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. Consultant 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. 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. As coverage binder or letter
from Consultant'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 Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant 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.
100055
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. Consultant 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
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 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. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Consultant 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.

EXHIBIT 1 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Consultant will
maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below.
Consultant will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that
existing coverage does not meet requirements set forth here, Consultant agrees
to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. Consultant
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.
Consultant shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)

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 $5,000,000 per occurrence.
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 Consultant
owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non -owned auto
endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Consultant or
Consultant's employees will use personal autos in any way on this project,
Consultant shall provide evidence of personal auto liability for each such person.
Workers' Compensation on a state - approved policy form providing statutory
benefits as required by law with employer's liability limits no less than
$1,0000,000 per accident or disease.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the
underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability
policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a
maximum of $1,000,000 self- insured retention for liability not covered by primary
but covered by umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis,
with defense costs 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.
I WOODS
Coverage shall be applicable to the City for injury to employees of Consultant,
subconsultants 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
$1,000,000 per occurrence.
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

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant.
Consultant and the 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 the City,
its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement 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 to subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant 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. Consultant
shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of
`000OGG
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 Consultant'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 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 Consultant or deducted from
sums due Consultant, 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. 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 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. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by
Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance 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
Work will be submitted to the City for review.
11. Consultant 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 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 or self -
insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
4 �-aous7
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
Consultant 90 days advance written notice of such change. If such
change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, 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. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of the City to inform Consultant 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. Consultant 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. 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. As
coverage binder or letter from Consultant'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 Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant 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.
1 000068
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. Consultant 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 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 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. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Consultant 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.
