City Council Meeting
ACTION:
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Direct `
Yugal Lail, City Engineer /Public Works Director
DATE: August 7, 2008 (CC Meeting of 8/20/2008)
SUBJECT: Consider the Selection of a Consultant to Provide Traffic Engineering
Services for the City and the Selection of a Consultant to Provide
Traffic Signal Design and Maintenance
BACKGROUND
Traffic Engineering services have been provided by consultant to the City of Moorpark
for many years. In July of this year, City staff requested proposals from nine firms to
provide these services. Three of these firms submitted proposals.
DISCUSSION
Proposals for Traffic Engineering services were received from Hartzog & Crabill, Inc.,
KOA Corporation, and W. G. Zimmerman Engineering, Inc. Staff reviewed the
proposals and found all proponents to be responsive to the Request for Proposals. The
City was very specific in identifying the services that the successful consultant would
provide. A copy of the Request for Proposals is attached for reference. The selection
of the successful proposal is based upon the cost for the service, the personnel
proposed, and the experience of the proponent in providing the services. Each
consultant was interviewed by a committee consisting of the Deputy City Manager,
Public Works Director /City Engineer, and the Assistant City Engineer.
Traffic Engineering Services: All of the consultants were found to be well qualified and
able to meet the requirements of the City. The Committee felt that a larger firm, KOA,
would have greater potential to serve multiple needs with respect to traffic concerns
within the City. The City has utilized the services of KOA (formerly as Katz, Okitsu and
Associates) in the past and found them to be responsive. Of the three firms, KOA is the
largest with an overall staff of 110 people, 14 of which are civil engineers and 8 of which
traffic engineers. They have six offices in California, five of which are located in
Southern California. Most of the City's traffic engineering needs are performed off -site

with developer traffic study review response via email. When on -site work is needed
personnel from the Monterey Park office would be utilized. Traffic engineering is on an
P Y 9 9
"as needed" basis and generally fully paid for through the entitlement process.
Traffic Signal Design and Maintenance: The City currently has 20 signalized
intersections under control of the City, some of which are interconnected along Tierra,
Rejada Road and Spring Road. An additional 20 signalized intersections are under the
control of Caltrans. There are additional signals which have been conditioned as part of
entitlement projects that will need to be designed and constructed in the future and
existing signals that will need to be modified due to changes in traffic patterns or street
realignments. The Signal Design & Maintenance requirements are a specialized area of
engineering that is not provided by in -house engineering staff. In interviewing the
proponents for Traffic Engineering Services it was noted that Hartzog & Crabill, Inc. has
considerable experience in this area of expertise. The City has utilized Hartzog &
Crabill, Inc. services in the area in the past. The City should take advantage of this
opportunity and enter into a contract for traffic signal design and maintenance with
Hartzog & Crabill, Inc. This service would be on an "as needed" basis.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the City Manager to sign the negotiated contract for services with KOA
Corporation for Traffic Engineering Services, subject to final language approval
by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
2. Authorize the City Manager to sign the negotiated contract for services with
Hartzog & Crabill, Inc. for Traffic Signal Design and Maintenance, subject to final
language approval by the City Manager 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
_ 6imr e
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.

other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.

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 Koa Corporation
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

Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Consultant will

.,�'��
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 Consultant.
Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Consultant:
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 Hartzog and Crabill

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

City of Moorpark and Hartzog and Crabill

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.

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
