AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manager
DATE: May 22, 2018 (CC Meeting of 06/06/18)
SUBJECT: Consider Agreements with American Building Comfort Services,
Pipe Dreams Plumbing Company, Inc., Draper Construction, and
Fence Factory dba Perimeter Security Systems for General
Maintenance Services
BACKGROUND
Historically, the City has contracted with various licensed contractors to provide general
maintenance and repair services for City owned facilities, parks, and landscape
maintenance districts. These services include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC), plumbing, electrical, roofing and general services, such as painting, concrete
repairs and minor construction activities. As City facilities age over time, there is a
greater need for many of these services.
Currently, the service contracts for plumbing, HVAC, door and gate maintenance, and
concrete repairs have reached the end of their term. Staff prepared informal bidding
documents and solicited bids for each of these service contracts. The bid results are
discussed below.
DISCUSSION
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC):
The HVAC bid was released on April 25, 2018. Four bids were received by the bid due
date of May 17, 2018. The HVAC Maintenance bids are to be awarded to the bidder
with the lowest annual maintenance costs for the submitted facilities. The four bidders
are:
Item: 10.G.
572
Master Cooling $ 5,995
American Building Comfort Services $ 5,196
ACCO $31,543
Johnson Controls $41,417
Although there was a large disparity between the lowest and highest bidders, staff feels
that the low bid amount is reflective of the scope of work required under this
Agreement, and is reflective of the general maintenance and inspection costs that the
City incurs annually. The bid is for once annual maintenance and includes replacing
filters, tightening, testing and inspecting all system components. The City pays for the
cost of repairs on an ‘as needed’ basis and includes funding for repairs in the annual
operating budget. Since there was such a large disparity, staff contacted ACCO to
discuss the bid they submitted for this work and discovered that they bid this work ‘turn-
key’ and on a quarterly basis. Staff believes that Johnson Controls bid the work in a
similar fashion.
Based on the Annual Maintenance Costs, American Building Comfort Services was the
low bidder. Staff is recommending awarding a three year agreement with two optional
one year extensions to American Building Comfort Services for an annual amount of
$50,000, which includes the annual maintenance costs plus funding for unanticipated
repairs. This equates to a contract value of $150,000 for the three year term or
$250,000 over the potential five year term.
General Plumbing Services
The General Plumbing Services bid was released on April 10, 2018. Only one bid was
received by the bid due date of April 26, 2018. The plumbing services bid was to be
awarded to the bidder with the lowest regular hourly wage. However, no responsive
bids were received for this informal bid request. The sole bidder was Pipe Dreams
Plumbing, however, Pipe Dreams Plumbing is not registered with the California
Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), as required in the bid specifications. Pipe
Dreams Plumbing has worked for the City before and possesses the necessary
qualifications, resources and experience to perform the work. Since no other bids were
received staff recommends negotiating an Agreement with Pipe Dreams Plumbing. The
Public Contract Code allows the City to perform work on public projects under $45,000
through negotiated contract, without need of an informal bid. Additionally, the Labor
Code provides exemptions from the public works registration requirement for
contractors whose repair projects are under $25,000. To keep within these parameters,
staff is recommending awarding a negotiated two year agreement to Pipe Dreams
Plumbing for General Plumbing Services for a not-to-exceed amount of $25,000 for the
two year term.
573
As-needed Concrete and Masonry Services
The As-Needed Concrete and Masonry Services bid was released on April 10, 2018.
Two bids were received by the bid due date of April 26, 2018. The As-Needed Concrete
and Masonry Services bid was to be awarded based on the value of the items 1-6 on
the bid proposal form. A typographical error on the bid form caused both bidders to total
all 13 items on the bid form. This did not affect the bid results, as the low bidder was the
lowest bidder based on the total of items 1-6 as well as all 13 items. The two bidders
and the amounts based on 1-6 of the bid proposal, as well as all items are:
Items 1-6 Items 1-13
BSN Construction $18,610 $45,215
Draper Construction $17,225 $43,275
Based on the costs of items 1-6, Draper Construction was the low bidder. Staff is
recommending awarding a three year agreement with two optional one year extensions
to Draper Construction. Due to a back log of work in the parks, staff is requesting an
annual amount of $100,000 for year one of the Agreement term, and an annual amount
of $75,000 for years two and three of the term, and the extension terms. This equates
to a contract value of $250,000 for the three year term or $400,000 over the potential
five year term.
Gate and Door Maintenance and Repairs
The Gate and Door Maintenance and Repairs bid was released on April 10, 2018. Two
bids were received by the bid due date of April 26, 2018. The Gate and Door
Maintenance and repair bids was to be awarded to the bidder with the lowest annual
maintenance costs for the two facilities noted in the bid (Police Services Center and
Moorpark Public Services Facility). The two bidders are:
Ventura Overhead Door $2,500
Fence Factory dba Perimeter Security Systems $1,305
Based on the annual maintenance costs, Fence Factory dba Perimeter Security
Systems was the low bidder. Staff is recommending awarding a three year agreement,
with two optional one year extensions to Perimeter Security Systems for an annual
amount of $35,000, which includes the annual maintenance costs plus funding for
unanticipated repair costs. This equates to a contract value of $105,000 for the three
year term or $175,000 over the potential five year term.
574
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding has been included in the Property Maintenance Service account for each
facility and park in the FY 18/19 operating budget, and will be included in subsequent
operating budgets for these maintenance services. Staff is not requesting any additional
appropriation for these services.

causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including
579

Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the
operations conducted by Contractor, including the City’s active or passive negligence,
except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or
other adversarial proceeding arising from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement,
the Contractor shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at the City’s option

counsels’ fees incurred in defense of such claims.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth in this Section from each and every subcontractor, or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this 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.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor
by reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of
any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The hold
harmless and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said
insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, and expenses described in 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 Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of 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 assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Contractor will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use
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)
“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 than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than
$2,000,000 general aggregate.
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 Contractor owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability
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
required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 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. 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
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.
586
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 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 or
reduced 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
587
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 or reduction 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 or reduction of coverage
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.
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
588
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. A 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
specification 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
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
589
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.
23. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability
coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project, when required by City. City
shall determine the liability limit.

periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this
section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is
denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure
to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse
finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the
claimant.

7 percent per annum.

against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may
present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or
on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work
which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of
the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the
public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45
days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in
writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the

of the reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or
specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this
section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to
waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action
or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable
change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to
the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or
grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee
to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes
or extends that date.
(Added by Stats. 2016, Ch. 810, Sec. 1. (AB 626) Effective January 1, 2017. Repealed

causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including
reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the
Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the
operations conducted by Contractor, including the City’s active or passive negligence,
except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or
other adversarial proceeding arising from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement,
614
the Contractor shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at the City’s option
reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal
counsels’ fees incurred in defense of such claims.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth in this Section from each and every subcontractor, or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this 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.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor
by reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of
any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The hold
harmless and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said
insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, and expenses described in 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 Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of 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 assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and

615
employees, or agents of the City. Contractor shall not incur or have the power to incur
any debt, obligation, or liability against City, or bind City in any manner.
No employee benefits shall be available to Contractor in connection with the
performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Contractor as provided in
the Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Contractor
for performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or
indemnification to Contractor for injury or sickness arising out of performing services
hereunder.

the City will receive compensation, directly or indirectly from Contractor, or any officer,

material breach of this Agreement entitling the City to any and all remedies at law or in
equity.

Exhibit A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, Contractor will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use
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)
“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 than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than
$2,000,000 general aggregate.
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 Contractor owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability
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
required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 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. 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
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.
621
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 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 or
reduced 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
622
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 or reduction 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 or reduction of coverage
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.
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
623
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. A 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
specification 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
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
624
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.
23. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability
coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project, when required by City. City
shall determine the liability limit.

claim applies shall conduct a reasonable review of the claim and, within a period not to
exceed 45 days, shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying what portion
of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, a public
entity and a contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in
this subdivision.
(B) The claimant shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim.
(C) If the public entity needs approval from its governing body to provide the claimant a
written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the
claim, and the governing body does not meet within the 45 days or within the mutually
agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by registered mail or
certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall have up to three days
following the next duly publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day
period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant a written statement identifying the
disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
(D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and
made within 60 days after the public entity issues its written statement. If the public
entity fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall apply.
(2) (A) If the claimant disputes the public entity’s written response, or if the public entity
fails to respond to a claim issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the
claimant may demand in writing an informal conference to meet and confer for
settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by
registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the public entity shall schedule
a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.
(B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer
conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the public entity
shall provide the claimant a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that
remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an
undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the
public entity issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified
by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the public
entity and the claimant sharing the associated costs equally. The public entity and
claimant shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed
portion of the claim has been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a
mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified
neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party
shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the
selection of the neutral mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim
remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable procedures outside this section.
(C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including,
but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent
third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by
627
issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this
section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to by the public entity and the contractor in writing, the
mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under
Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.
(E) This section does not preclude a public entity from requiring arbitration of disputes
under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation
under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute.
(3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time
periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this
section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is
denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure
to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse
finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the
claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at
7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim
against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may
present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or
on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work
which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of
the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the
public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45
days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in
writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the
original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement
of the reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or
specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this
section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to
waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action
or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable
change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to
the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or
grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee
to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes
or extends that date.
(Added by Stats. 2016, Ch. 810, Sec. 1. (AB 626) Effective January 1, 2017. Repealed
as of January 1, 2020, by its own provisions.)

causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including
635
reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the
Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the
operations conducted by Contractor, including the City’s active or passive negligence,
except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or
other adversarial proceeding arising from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement,

identical to those set forth in this Section from each and every subcontractor, or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this 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.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor
by reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of
any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The hold
harmless and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said
insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, and expenses described in 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 Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of 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 assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.

Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and

event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability
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
required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 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. 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
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.
642
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 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 or
reduced 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
643
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 or reduction 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 or reduction of coverage
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.
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
644
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. A 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
specification 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
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
645
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.
23. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability
coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project, when required by City. City
shall determine the liability limit.

mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under
Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced.

under private arbitration or the Public Works Contract Arbitration Program, if mediation
under this section does not resolve the parties’ dispute.
(3) Failure by the public entity to respond to a claim from a contractor within the time
periods described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this
section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is
denied by reason of the public entity’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure
to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse
finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the
claimant.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bear interest at
7 percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim
against a public entity because privity of contract does not exist, the contractor may
present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or
on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work
which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of
the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the
public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45
days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in
writing as to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the
original contractor did not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement
of the reasons for not having done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or
specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this
section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to
waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action
or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable
change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to
the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or
grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee
to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes
or extends that date.
(Added by Stats. 2016, Ch. 810, Sec. 1. (AB 626) Effective January 1, 2017. Repealed
as of January 1, 2020, by its own provisions.)

constitute a default. In the event that Contractor is in default for cause under the terms
of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating
Contractor for any work performed after the date of default and can terminate or
suspend this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Contractor. If such failure
by the Contractor to make progress in the performance of work hereunder arises out of
causes beyond the Contractor’s control, and without fault or negligence of the

If the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee determines that the
Contractor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement, designee shall cause to be served upon the Contractor a written notice of
the default. The Contractor shall have five (5) days after service upon it of said notice in

hundred fifty dollars ($150) per day for each calendar day the work, or portion thereof,
remains uncompleted after the above specified completion date. Liquidated damages
shall be deducted from any payments due or to become due to the Contractor under the
terms of this Agreement. Progress payments made by the City after the above specified
completion date shall not constitute a waiver of liquidated damages by the City.
9. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
Contractor shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to sales,
costs, expenses, receipts, and other such information required by City that relate to the
performance of services under this Agreement. Contractor shall maintain adequate
records of services provided in sufficient detail to permit an evaluation of services. All

such books and records; shall give the City the right to examine and audit said books
and records; shall permit City to make transcripts therefrom as necessary; and shall

Agreement. Notification of audit shall be provided at least thirty (30) days before any
such audit is conducted. Such records, together with supporting documents, shall be
maintained for a period of ten (10) years after receipt of final payment.
Upon completion of, or in the event of termination or suspension without cause of
this Agreement, all original documents, designs, drawings, maps, models, computer
files, surveys, notes, and other documents prepared in the course of providing the
services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement shall become the sole property of
the City and may be used, reused, or otherwise disposed of by the City without the
permission of the Contractor. With respect to computer files, Contractor shall make
available to the City, at the Contractor’s office and upon reasonable written request by
the City, the necessary computer software and hardware for purposes of accessing,
compiling, transferring, and printing computer files.
10. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS
Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its
officers, employees, and agents (“City Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including
reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the
Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the
operations conducted by Contractor, including the City’s active or passive negligence,
684
except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or
other adversarial proceeding arising from Contractor’s performance of this Agreement,
the Contractor shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at the City’s option
reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal
counsels’ fees incurred in defense of such claims.
Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions
identical to those set forth in this Section from each and every subcontractor, or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with, or on behalf of Contractor in the
performance of this 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.
City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may have against Contractor
by reason of this Section, because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of
any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The hold
harmless and indemnification provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not said
insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any losses, liabilities, damages,
costs, and expenses described in 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 Contract Documents or
Agreements. In the event of 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 assurance of protection of the Indemnitees’ interests. City shall, in
its sole discretion, determine whether such assurances are reasonable.
11. INSURANCE
Contractor shall maintain prior to the beginning of and for the duration of this
Agreement insurance coverage as specified in Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
12. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly independent
Contractor. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of
Contractor shall at all times be under Contractor’s exclusive direction and control.

conduct of Contractor or any of Contractor’s officers, employees, or agents, except as
685
set forth in this Agreement. Contractor shall not at any time or in any manner represent
that it or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers,
employees, or agents of the City. Contractor shall not incur or have the power to incur
any debt, obligation, or liability against City, or bind City in any manner.
No employee benefits shall be available to Contractor in connection with the
performance of this Agreement. Except for the fees paid to Contractor as provided in
the Agreement, City shall not pay salaries, wages, or other compensation to Contractor
for performing services hereunder for City. City shall not be liable for compensation or
indemnification to Contractor for injury or sickness arising out of performing services
hereunder.
13. LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Contractor shall keep itself informed of local, state and federal laws and
regulations which in any manner affect those employed by it or in any way affect the
performance of its service pursuant to this Agreement. The Contractor shall at all times
observe and comply with all such laws and regulations, including but not limited to the
Americans with Disabilities Act and Occupational Safety and Health Administration laws
and regulations. The City and Contractor shall comply with Exhibit B, California Public
Contract Code Section 9204, when applicable. The City, and its officers and
employees, shall not be liable at law or in equity occasioned by failure of the Contractor
to comply with this Section.
14. ANTI DISCRIMINATION

discriminate in employment of persons upon the work because of race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition,
genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression,
age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status of such person; or any other basis
protected by applicable federal, state, or local law, except as provided in Section 12940
of the Government Code. The Contractor shall have responsibility for compliance with
this Section, if applicable [Labor Code Sec. 1735].
15. UNDUE INFLUENCE
Contractor declares and warrants that no undue influence or pressure is used
against or in concert with any officer or employee of the City in connection with the
award, terms or implementation of this Agreement, including any method of coercion,
confidential financial arrangement, or financial inducement. No officer or employee of
the City will receive compensation, directly or indirectly from Contractor, or any officer,
employee or agent of Contractor, in connection with the award of this Agreement or any
work to be conducted as a result of this Agreement. Violation of this Section shall be a
material breach of this Agreement entitling the City to any and all remedies at law or in
equity.
686

No member, officer, or employee of the City, or their designees or agents, and no
public official who exercises authority over or responsibilities with respect to the

insurance as required herein. Limits are subject to review.

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 or
reduced 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
692
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 or reduction 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 or reduction of coverage
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.
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
693
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. A 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
specification 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
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
694
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.
23. Contractor agrees to obtain and provide to City a copy of Professional Liability
coverage for Architects or Engineers on this project, when required by City. City
shall determine the liability limit.

section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is

present to the public entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or
on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the contractor present a claim for work
which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of
the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be presented to the
public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45

specifications for any public works project that may give rise to a claim under this
section.
(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy,
provided, however, that (1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to
waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action
or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a public entity may prescribe reasonable
change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to
the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or
otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or
grants available through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee
to meet its contractual obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2020, deletes
or extends that date.
(Added by Stats. 2016, Ch. 810, Sec. 1. (AB 626) Effective January 1, 2017. Repealed
