Exhibit A
Docusign Envelope ID: AB3D336D-54F7-4E1B-A65E-BE3F6F4EC3B7 Exceptions
Kittelson has reviewed the City of Alameda’s standard service provider agreement and insurance requirements and requests the City’s consideration of the following proposed modifications:
As written, the City’s indemnification language is overly broad, extends beyond proportionate share and exceeds what is enforceable under Cal. Civ. Code 2782.8. This is regardless of the City’s reference to this statute relative to professional liability defense obligations. To ensure this language is equitable and consistent with Cal. Civ. Code 2782.8, would the City be amenable to modifying this language as follows upon any contract award:
9. HOLD HARMLESS:
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Provider shall indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to the City) and hold harmless the City, its City Council, boards, commissions, officials, employees, agents and volunteers (“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all loss, damages, liability, obligations, claims, suits,
judgments, costs and expenses whatsoever, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of litigation (“Claims”), arising from or in any manner connected to Provider’s negligent performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the operations conducted by Provider even if the City is found to have been negligent. If the Claims filed against Indemnitees allege negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Provider, Provider shall have no right of reimbursement against Indemnitees for the costs of defense even if negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct is not found on the part of Provider. Provider shall not have any obligations to indemnify Indemnitees if the loss or damage is found to have resulted solely from the negligence or the willful misconduct of the City. The defense and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in this Agreement.
b. As to Claims for professional liability only, Provider’s obligation to defend Indemnitees (as set forth above) is limited as provided in California Civil Code Section 2782.8. c. Provider’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitees shall expressly survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
iii

utilize a wide range of communication tools, including
cloudbased services, to share information and collaborate in real-time.
Key elements of our approach and strategy for delivering collaborative solutions are:
Defining a shared vision and project understanding
Consistent, open, and purposeful communication with
our clients
Transparent and strategic engagement with
community members and key partners
Management Approach
The Kittelson team brings extensive depth and redundancy of technical and management skills in order to provide
responsive service to meet the City of Alameda’s needs.
This will enable us to be nimble in responding to the City while also continuing to provide high-quality technical analysis and products.
As contract manager, Mike will coordinate with technical leads as task orders are identified to form the most
appropriate staff team for that task order. We would
be able to respond with our interest and ability to do
potential task orders within 24 hours of being notified by the City of Alameda of the potential task order. If
additional scope, budget, or proposed approach is needed for a specific task order opportunity, we would be able to respond within one to two weeks with those pieces of information. The specific turnaround time would depend
on the complexity of the work to be conducted within the task order and the amount of detail the City would need in our response. As contract manager, Mike will use the following approaches to each of those critical elements to create a strong working relationship with City staff.
Proactive Communication. Routine communication
between Mike (project manager) and the City of
Alameda’s overall on-call project manager to confirm
that we are meeting or exceeding needs in how we
are approaching the execution of task orders. City
staff are welcome to contact Mike at any time with
issues or concerns related to work conducted by
Kittelson.
Regular Coordination between task order leaders
and City staff managing the task orders will
provide updates on progress, facilitate exchange of
information, and anticipate and address issues to help
keep the work on track.
Openness and Collaboration. We find work can
be done more successfully and efficiently when
completed in an open and collaborative manner.
This includes being transparent and direct with City
staff regarding project and task order management
topics such as status of budget, schedule, potential
issues or risks to the project. It also includes being
collaborative with City and your partners with
respect to how we are conducting analysis, sharing
data, working together to develop solutions, and—to
the extent desired, needed or requested by staff—
working across departments and/or with other
consultants to meet your needs and objectives.
Responsiveness. Given the fast-paced nature of on-
call task orders, it is critical to have a team with solid experience and depth to be able to respond quickly
and effectively. To achieve this, Mike will serve as
the primary point of contact for the City of Alameda
as related to the overall on-call contract. Based on
the task orders, Mike will identify the appropriate
Kittelson team staff person to be the task order lead.
That individual will be responsible for managing the
task order and communicating with City staff leading
the task order. Mike will provide internal support to
the Kittelson’s task order leads to assure that the City is receiving responsive and high-quality service for
each task order being conducted.
Quality Control. Accurate products that appropriately present analysis, findings, ideas and concepts are
critical for productive discussions regarding project
decisions and reaching consensus around project
implementation or next steps. Each product prepared
for the City will undergo at least two internal
rounds of review and edits at Kittelson before being
submitted. At a minimum, the task order leader or
Mike will conduct a review. Depending on the nature
of analysis or deliverable, Kittelson may have an
additional review conducted as needed for unique
technical specialties.
Quality Assurance. To provide quality assurance,
Mike and Laurence (project principal) will work with
each task order lead to confirm that deliverables
being sent to the City have received senior review for

technical accuracy and appropriateness of content,
detail, style, and format.
Managing Schedule. Kittelson recognizes that
actively managing schedules for each of the task
orders is fundamental to help the City of Alameda
achieve its goals as efficiently as possible. Mike will work with task order leaders to identify and provide
the internal resources necessary to adhere to the
established schedules. On a regular basis, task
order leaders will report the schedule’s status to the
appropriate City project managers so that everyone
is aware of and able to meet critical milestones.
Budget Management. Kittelson has internal budget
tracking tools that enable project managers and task
order leaders to identify the status of the budget for
any project or task order at any time. Our tracking
tools provide immediate information that will enable
Mike to work with task order leaders to keep task
orders fiscally on-track.

DATA COLLECTION
Prior to the implementation phase of the Geary Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, Kittelson 1) conducted 24-hour
pedestrian counts at selected intersections within the
Geary BRT project limit to determine pedestrian volume; 2) conducted an on-board survey to understand the
opinions of people who regularly ride the 38 Local and
38 Rapid bus lines about near-term implementation; and
3) collected vehicle turning movement counts at selected intersections to assess motorist compliance with red bus- only lanes over a period of time.
SAFE STREETS

PROGRAM DATA
COLLECTION
In support of SFMTA’s
Vision Zero safety
improvements, Kittelson
developed a project

and data collection
standard operating
practices with
supporting templates
and guidance for
SFMTA staff. Since
the development of
the Safe Streets Evaluation
Handbook in 2017, Kittelson has supported SFMTA in
data collection and for over 20 projects.
TRAFFIC CALMING EVALUATION
Kittelson led a task order to analyze and evaluate more than 100 traffic calming devices installed throughout San Francisco to provide a framework for evaluating traffic calming projects and weighing benefits and tradeoffs.
Factors under consideration included speeds, daily
volumes, and environmental data related to traffic calming devices through the city (speed humps, speed cushions,
rubber speed humps, speed tables, raised crosswalks,
and intersection “thumbnail” islands). The evaluation also included development and analysis of a survey of residents who have traffic calming devices on their streets. https:/ / www.sfmta.com/getting-around/walk/residential-traffic-
calming-program
LIVABLE STREETS PROJECT EVALUATION
HANDBOOK
Kittelson identified common performance metrics and
critical data, and developed a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of implemented projects. The task order included testing the methodology by conducting three
before-after evaluations for recent multimodal and safety improvement related projects. Since completion of the
Handbook in 2018, Kittelson has continued to support
SFMTA in the completion of before-after evaluations for more than 20 projects.

OCEAN AVENUE MULTIMODAL SAFETY
PROJECT
Kittelson assisted with the development of conceptual
designs for the intersection of Ocean Avenue, Geneva
Avenue, and Frida Kahlo Way. This complex intersection
serves a significant amount of vehicle traffic, several Muni lines, and important walking and bicycling connections.
Kittelson developed conceptual designs and cost
estimates for near- and long-term concepts to improve
safety, accessibility, and comfort for people approaching and traveling through the intersection. Kittelson
evaluated alternatives with qualitative and quantitative metrics including multimodal safety, transit priority and reliability, vehicle operations, multimodal accessibility and circulation, and impacts to parking.
SLOW STREETS PROGRAM
COMMUNICATIONS AND PERMANENT
SLOW STREET PROJECTS PLANNING AND
OUTREACH SUPPORT
Kittelson is assisting the SFMTA with the evaluation of existing temporary “Slow Streets” residential streets in San Francisco to determine if there is community support for permanence. If such support exists, each Slow Street will undergo a “path to permanence” process, which entails
additional outreach and design, and finally the approval process to maintain the Slow Streets designation and the potential of permanent roadway and traffic circulation
changes.
MUNI FORWARD SUPPORT
Kittelson provided staff support for SFMTA’s Muni Forward program, the implementation of Temporary Emergency
Transit Lanes (TETLs) in response to the COVID-19
pandemic, and evaluation and legislative support to codify the TETLs as permanent. Kittelson’s services included:
1) transit planning and evaluation support to the Muni
Forward and TETL programs, including passenger counts,
bus travel time and delay data analysis, report writing, and public-facing evaluation reports; and 2) GIS mapping and graphics creation for SFMTA’s Transit Planning Division.

Kittelson led the development of the City’s Tsunami
Evacuation Plan element of the Climate Adaptation
and Hazard Mitigation Plan (Plan). The Plan works in
conjunction with other plans, such as the City’s Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP), General Plan, and
Emergency Management Plan. Kittelson developed draft
and final methodology, and an evacuation planning
tool incorporating feedback from the City. The goals
for the tool were to: evaluate and estimate people/
vehicles evacuating during different tsunami and land
use scenarios, estimate time re-quired to evacuate during different tsunami events, understand how changes in
capacity at different access points to Alameda impact
evacuation time, and understand how evacuation behavior impacts evacuation time (e.g., where people choose to
leave Alameda and whether they choose to drive).

Kittelson worked with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) on a project to improve
access for alternative modes between the cities of
Oakland and Alameda, which are separated by the
Oakland Estuary. This had long been a critical issue due to constrained vehicle access through the Webster Street and Posey "tubes" (underwater tunnels) that connect Alameda with Oakland's Chinatown and Downtown areas. Kittelson
provided a tool and forecasts for potential new crossings of the estuary, including a bicycle/pedestrian bridge, a new tunnel, and ferry service. Kittelson's evaluation was based on “big data” origin-destination patterns from StreetLight, household interviews, bicycle and pedestrian counts, and factors derived from regional travel modeling.

ADDITIONAL INSURED PRIMARY AND NON-CONTRIBUTORY
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE PART
The following is added to SECTION IV
COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS,
Paragraph 4. Other Insurance:
Additional Insured Primary and Non-Contributory
If you agree in a written contract, written agreement or permit that the insurance provided to any person or
organization included as an Additional Insured under
SECTION II WHO IS AN INSURED, is primary and
non-contributory, the following applies:
If other valid and collectible insurance is available to the Additional Insured for a loss we cover under
Coverages A or B of this Coverage Part, our
obligations are limited as follows:
(1) Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary to other insurance that is
available to the Additional Insured which covers
the
Additional Insured as a Named Insured. We will
not seek contribution from any other insurance
available to the Additional Insured except:
(a)For the sole negligence of the Additional
Insured;
(b)When the Additional Insured is an Additional
Insured under another primary liability policy;
or
(c)When (2)below applies.
If this insurance is primary, our obligations are not
affected unless any of the other insurance is also
primary. Then, we will share with all that other
insurance by the method described in (3) below.
(2) Excess Insurance
(a)This insurance is excess over any of the other
insurance, whether primary, excess,
contingent or on any other basis:
(i) That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's
Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage
for "your work";
(ii)That is Fire insurance for premises rented
to the Additional Insured or temporarily
occupied by the Additional Insured with
permission of the owner;
(iii)That is insurance purchased by the
Additional Insured to cover the Additional
damage" to premises rented to the
Additional Insured or temporarily occupied
by the Additional with permission of the
owner; or
(iv)If the loss arises out of the maintenance or
use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the
extent not subject to Exclusion g. of
SECTION ICOVERAGE ABODILY
INURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
LIABILITY.
(b)When this insurance is excess, we will have
no duty under Coverages AorBto defend the
insured against any "suit" if any other insurer
has a duty to defend the insured against that
"suit". If no other insurer defends, we will
undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to
the insured's rights against all those other
insurers.
(c)When this insurance is excess over other
Insurance, we will pay only our share of the
amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the
sum of:
(i) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(ii)The total of all deductible and self insured
amounts under all that other insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, with
any other insurance that is not described in this
Excess Insurance provision and was not
bought specifically to apply in excess of the
Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations
of this Coverage Part.
(3) Method Of Sharing
(a)If all of the other insurance permits
contribution by equal shares, we will follow this
method also. Under this approach each
insurer contributes equal amounts until it has
paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of
the loss remains, whichever comes first.
(b)If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this method, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable
limit of insurance to the total applicable limits
of insurance of all insurers.
ALL OTHER TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED. 6 Docusign Envelope ID: AB3D336D-54F7-4E1B-A65E-BE3F6F4EC3B7 WM2D78128906
