ESE Task Order 2 for ATP Cycle 7 Support
Public Works Director Gamino reviewed this item with Council.

Public comment was made by:

Tonya Miller, a local resident, asked why are we doing Sierra Street and Yaney? Public Works Director Gamino responded by letting Tonya Miller know that they potentially involve different treatments on the different roads because of right-of-way widths; some will allow us to do a certain level of treatment and some are more restrictive. We are more restricted on Yaney where we only have a 45 foot right-ofway than what we have on Sierra Street, and Yaney connects to a controlled crossing and Sierra Street does not. No further public comments were made.

Councilmember Schwartz made a motion to approve and ratify the approved task order with Eastern Sierra Engineering for professional engineering services in support of the City’s Cycle 7 Active Transportation Program grant in the not-to-exceed amount of $52,578.00 and to approve an additional not-to-exceed 10% contingency amount of $5,257.80.

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:

The attached resolutions are necessary for the City of Bishop to consolidate its General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election scheduled on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The City needs to hold an election for three Council seats, and a City Treasurer. The terms for City Council Members Jim Ellis, Jose Garcia, Karen Kong, and City Treasurer Nick Lara will be expiring.

There are three (3) proposed resolutions attached for Council’s consideration.

1. A proposed resolution that calls for the holding of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, for the election of certain officers as required by the provisions of the laws of the state of California relating to General Law cities. This resolution will call an election for the selection of three councilmembers, and a city treasurer.

2. A proposed resolution that requests consolidation with the County of Inyo for the City’s election for these offices.

3. A proposed resolution that sets forth regulations on candidate statements for these offices.

Analysis/Discussion:

The attached resolutions set in motion the process by which three councilmembers will be selected to upcoming terms, and the process by which the city treasurer will be selected for an upcoming term. These resolutions are procedural in nature and are required for the City to decide these matters at the upcoming election November 5, 2024.

The first resolution calls the election for the election of three council seats and one city treasurer. The second resolution requests that the County of Inyo consolidate its election with the City of Bishop’s election for these City offices. This allows the City to avoid the cost of 28 conducting a separate election for its own offices and provides the public with the convenience of voting for city, county, state and federal matters all on the same ballot.

The third resolution sets forth regulations regarding the submission of candidate statements for the city council and treasurer offices. The proposed resolution provides that candidate statements are due at the time nomination papers are filed and contains required language regarding translation of these statements.

Economic Impacts:

There are no Economic Impacts.

Budget Impacts:

Costs associated with running a consolidated election with the County of Inyo since November of 2012 has saved the City of Bishop thousands of dollars. Since the County upgraded their voting technology in 2020, it allows them to run even more efficiently saving the City even more money. Elections have cost the City less than $3,000. However, due to inflation, costs are expected to increase this year.

Legal Review:

City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.

Recommended Action:

Council consideration to adopt each resolution individually by title only in order to facilitate the General Municipal Election to be held November 5, 2024.

WHEREAS, §13307 of the Elections Code of the State of California provides that the governing body of any local agency adopt regulations pertaining to materials prepared by any candidate for a municipal election, including costs of the candidates statement.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BISHOP, STATE

OF CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

The statement shall not include party affiliation of the candidate, nor membership or activity in partisan political organizations.

The statement shall be filed in typewritten form in the office of the City Clerk at the time the candidate’s nomination papers are filed. The statement may be withdrawn, but not changed, during the period for filing nomination papers and until 5:00 p.m. of the next working day after the close of the nomination period.

SECTION 3. PAYMENT.

A. Translations:

In the event the estimated payment is required, the estimate is just an approximation of the actual cost that varies from one election to another election and may be significantly more or less than the estimate, depending on the actual number of candidates filing statements. Accordingly, the clerk is not bound by the estimate and may, on a pro rata basis, bill the candidate for additional actual expense or refund any excess paid depending on the final actual cost.

Subject: A Resolution to Adopt a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2024-25 Funded by SB 1: The Road Maintenance and Accountability Act Prepared On: May 20, 2024
Attachments: Resolution2024-XX

STAFF REPORT
Background/History:

Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was intended to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. SB 1 funds come from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA).

The City of Bishop is expected to receive approximately $99,094 (RMRA portion) of SB 1 funding in the 2024-2025 fiscal year up from about $92,702 this fiscal year. This SB 1 funding is in addition to the approximately $111,949 (Highway Users Tax Account) the City anticipates receiving in other gas tax funding.

SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions intended to ensure the funds collected under SB 1 for road work are used for that purpose. One provision is that to receive SB 1 funds, the City must transmit a list of projects it intends to fund with SB 1 funds each fiscal year to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The deadline to submit a list of projects for the 2024-2025 fiscal year is July 1, 2024.

The three projects that are proposed for SB 1 funding are the same projects from the previous year and will be relisted. There are no new projects proposed. A list of the proposed projects eligible for SB 1 funding is included in the attached draft resolution.

Analysis/Discussion:

The attached resolution has been prepared based on the CTC’s resolution template. The resolution includes a list with the proposed project and other project information required by the state.

Economic Impacts:

None.

Budget Impacts:
58 SB 1 funding and the proposed projects will be incorporated in the 2024-2025 fiscal year budget to the extent possible.

Legal Review:

City Attorney Pucci has reviewed this item and finds that the recommended action complies with the law.

Recommended Action:

City Council consideration to approve the Resolution adopting the list of projects funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act for fiscal year 2024-2025.

WHEREAS, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our community’s transportation priorities/the project list; and WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and costeffective projects that also meet the communities priorities for transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain, rehabilitate, and improve street pavement, sidewalks, paths, and other active transportation infrastructure throughout the City this year and into the future; and WHEREAS, the 2021 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City streets and roads are in an “at-risk” condition and this revenue will help us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will bring our streets and roads into a “good” condition; and 60 Resolution 2024-XX Page 2 of 3
WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system provides well-paying construction jobs and boosts local economies; and

These projects may include the preparation and review of documents required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for activities within the City of Bishop limits. For each project requiring these services, the City will issue a Task Order to one or more firms under an On-Call Agreement and request a proposal for the services to be rendered.

Analysis/Discussion:

The scope and types of services included in the On-Call Agreements were included in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) which was issued on February 12, 2024, until March 12, 2024. Twelve (12) firms provided a Statement of Qualifications for consideration. Five firms were invited for interviews to gain a better understanding of their qualifications. Based on the firms’ qualifications and experience, in combination with the anticipated number and type of projects the City will contract for over the next 3-5 years, three (3) firms were offered to participate.

Economic Impacts:

There will be no significant economic impact.

Budget Impacts:

There is no budget impact. Compensation for the as-needed, on-call, agreements shall be handled through task orders and will be financed through project-specific funding sources.

There is no expectation or guarantee of a total contract amount. 63 Legal Review:

Subject: Statement of Qualifications for As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services Dear Ms. Rhew:

HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) is pleased to present our Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to provide As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services to the City of Bishop (City). We have successfully provided the City with environmental services for the past several years and we are excited about the prospect of continuing our partnership.

Since its inception 32 years ago, HELIX has developed an excellent reputation providing high quality asneeded environmental services to local government and public agency clients throughout California. This includes extensive experience providing on-call services to prepare the full range of environmental review documentation pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as well as preparing supporting technical studies.

This contract will be managed by me, Robert Edgerton, serving as the Contract Manager and HELIX’s primary point of contact for the City. I bring 25+ years of experience with environmental compliance and land use planning and maintain a working knowledge of resource-based legislation, land development procedures, and regulatory permitting requirements. Furthermore, I have successfully worked with the City preparing award-winning CEQA documentation and environmental analysis dating back to 2016.

We understand that the City is seeking consultants to provide environmental review services in support of a wide range of projects and that individual task orders will be issued by the City under the on-call contract requesting a project-specific scope of work and cost estimate. Upon task order issuance, I will work with the City to review individual project(s) and identify the appropriate scope of work and associated budget required to satisfy CEQA/NEPA requirements. Once under contract, HELIX staff are immediately available to commence work.

Please contact me directly at 916.365.8713 or [email protected] during the evaluation period with any questions about our qualifications or project team. Thank you for considering HELIX and we look forward to hearing from you.

City of Bishop | As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services Warren Street Sidewalk Improvements
Client: City of Bishop Duration: 1/2024 - Present
Under contract to Triad Holmes Associates, HELIX is processing a Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form with Caltrans oversight for numerous sidewalk improvements in Bishop’s historic downtown.

Proposed improvements include curb and gutter, traffic calming measures, driveway upgrades, stamped concrete sidewalk elements, and wayfinding. HELIX will be researching and preparing an Historic Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) in support of the PES for Caltrans approval. Finally, HELIX will be preparing Categorical Exemption/Exclusion documentation for both CEQA and NEPA compliance.

East Line Street Bridge Replacement
Client: City of Bishop Duration: 11/2022 - Present
HELIX prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) in support of the proposed bridge replacement of East Line Street over Bishop Creek Canal in the City of Bishop that is currently out for public review. Due to concern for structural stability and pedestrian safety, the bridge will be replaced with a new structure with an increased width for safer pedestrian crossing. HELIX completed various field surveys/investigations, including an AQ/GHG evaluation, a cultural resources assessment, tribal consultation support services on behalf of the City, a biological resource evaluation, an aquatic resources delineation, and noise assessment. Regulatory permit applications will be prepared and processed with various state and federal agencies following project approval.

Spruce, Hanby, and Yaney Sidewalk Improvements
Client: City of Bishop Duration: 7/2016 – 7/2018
HELIX conducted environmental investigations and technical report preparation for the Spruce, Hanby, and Yaney Sidewalks project in the City of Bishop. Work products included a biological resource evaluation, a wetland delineation, a National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 cultural resources assessment, Native American consultation, CEQA processing, and Clean Water Act/Lake and Streambed Alteration 404/401/1600 regulatory permit applications/consultation with resource agencies on behalf of the City. Although not part of our contracted scope of services, HELIX prepared a Tree Planting Plan (per the request of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife [CDFW]) within the original scope and fee estimate without having to seek a change order with the City.

State Route-203 Sidewalk Improvements
Client: Town of Mammoth Lakes Duration: 10/2015 – 5/2018 HELIX provided environmental support to the Town of Mammoth Lakes (with oversight from Caltrans District 9) to prepare stand-alone CEQA Categorical Exemption and NEPA Categorical Exclusion documentation for two segments of the State Route 203 sidewalk improvements project at the intersection of N. Main Street and W.

Minaret Road. The sidewalk sections are located in a highly constrained and highly utilized area of the Town and will connect existing portions of sidewalks for greater pedestrian circulation and improved public health and safety. HELIX successfully completed preparation and processing of the CEQA/NEPA documents, and we provided much of the supporting information presented in the documents, including biological resources information/analysis, Phase 2 cultural resources investigation, and hazardous 89 Page | 4
City of Bishop | As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services materials review. The CEQA/NEPA documents and associated technical analyses were drafted by HELIX and reviewed and approved by Caltrans District 9 staff in an expedited manner.

Bishop Area Wastewater Authority Treatment Plant Irrigation Disposal System Client: Bishop Area Wastewater Authority Duration: 5/2021 – 6/2021 HELIX assisted the Bishop Area Wastewater Authority with an opportunities and constraints analysis of the proposed 450-acre irrigation disposal parcel located adjacent to the City of Bishop’s wastewater treatment plant.

City of Bishop | As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services 3 TECHNICAL APPROACHES AND SCOPE OF WORK
The City seeks to select qualified consulting firms to assist with the preparation of environmental documentation, functioning as-needed on a project-by-project basis, for a three-year period with the option of two, one-year extensions. HELIX will work with City staff to establish a clear understanding of projects as proposed, as well as applicable environmental issues and the identification of information needs. Environmental documents shall be prepared in accordance with CEQA and/or NEPA statutes and guidelines, as applicable, and relevant to individual project proposals. For projects with a federal nexus, the preparation of a joint CEQA/NEPA document may be beneficial to maximize efficiency and reduce redundancy of the environmental review process, to be determined based on consultation with City staff, and at the discretion of the federal lead agency. Qualified personnel shall be provided by HELIX to prepare the appropriate level of environmental documentation and complete any associated supplemental studies.

The project approach presented in this section is based on the Scope of Services provided in the RFQ but will be tailored for each task order based on the specific requirements of each project. When appropriate, HELIX will advise the City in regard to cost-effective options to achieve project objectives while avoiding or reducing project impacts to resources.

CEQA Documentation
After the City determines that a proposed activity is a “project” subject to CEQA, HELIX will coordinate with the City to determine if a Categorical Exemption (CE) is appropriate to fulfill the requirements of CEQA. If it is determined that the project would qualify for a CE, then HELIX will work with City staff to identify the applicable exemption “class” for the activity and prepare a Notice of Exemption (NOE) in the City’s preferred format. The NOE would be filed with the Inyo County Clerk’s office as well as the State Clearinghouse.

If it appears that a project would have potentially significant impacts that could be mitigated to a lessthan-significant level, then HELIX will prepare an IS to evaluate the environmental impacts of a project in detail subject to City approval. Each IS Checklist (per CEQA Guidelines Appendix G) resource section includes a discussion of the existing conditions, impact analysis, and required mitigation measures (if warranted). Following completion of the IS and necessary technical studies, a determination is made whether the project has less than significant impacts, less-than-significant impacts with mitigation incorporated, or potentially significant impacts which would require the preparation of an EIR. If mitigation measures are incorporated into the IS, then a MND will be prepared for public circulation.

HELIX will prepare an administrative draft, public review draft, and final IS/MND, Notice of Intent to Adopt an MND, Notice of Completion, Summary Forms, Response to Public Comments, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).

As noted above, if the IS determines the project would result in potentially significant impacts to the environment, then an EIR will be prepared. To streamline the EIR preparation process, HELIX would use the analysis prepared in the IS to “focus” the EIR to analyze only the resource sections that would have potentially significant impacts to the environment. Following the determination that an EIR will be prepared for the project, HELIX will prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for distribution by the City to each responsible and/or trustee agency responsible for natural resources affected by the project, as well as interested members of the public. A scoping meeting may also be held at the discretion of the City.

HELIX will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR, and resource-specific technical specialists will analyze project-related impacts and identify feasible mitigation measures to reduce impacts to the extent 91 Page | 6
City of Bishop | As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services possible. Upon receipt of comments from the City, the Public Review Draft EIR will be prepared for release of a 45-day review period. HELIX will assist in preparing the Notice of Completion and Notice of Availability, in addition to the Public Review Draft EIR. Responses to comments on the Public Review Draft EIR will be prepared and upon completion of the Final EIR the City will schedule the project for City Council’s consideration. Within five days of project approval, a Notice of Determination (NOD) will be filed with the Inyo County Clerk and State Clearinghouse. The filing and posting of the NOD initiates a 30- day statute of limitations on court challenges to the project approval under CEQA. HELIX will assist the City in the preparation of Findings of Fact and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for any significant impacts on the environment found to be unavoidable under Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines, if necessary.

NEPA Documentation
Often a federal nexus is established with a project. This can be established when as little as one dollar of federal money is spent on the project. A nexus can also be established if the project requires the approval of a federal agency. This nexus establishment is often done in consultation with the City Attorney. For projects that have federal agency involvement or funding, HELIX would work with City staff and the lead federal agency (e.g., Federal Highway Administration through the California Department of Transportation [Caltrans], U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD]) to develop a description of the proposed action using applicable data, maps and engineering design details, acreage of surface disturbance, and site visit observations of site-specific physical and environmental conditions to assist in the evaluation of the appropriate NEPA documentation for the proposed action. HELIX will review the federal lead agency’s Categorical Exclusions to determine if the proposed action is one of those classes of actions that can be categorically excluded from NEPA.

If the proposed action cannot be categorically excluded, then an Environmental Assessment (EA) is written to determine whether to prepare a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EA will include a brief discussion of the purpose and need for the proposed action, project alternatives, the environmental effects of the proposed action and alternatives, and a listing of agencies and persons consulted. The FONSI would summarize the reasons why an action would not have a significant effect on the human environment and why an EIS is not warranted. The FONSI would be attached to the EA and incorporate its discussion by reference. HELIX will assist the City and federal lead agency in the noticing for public review for the EA/FONSI. The federal lead agency may also require that a public hearing be held to allow the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed action. When the federal lead agency issues a FONSI, copies of the EA would be made available for public review for a minimum of 30 days. A Notice of Availability of the FONSI would be released, and the document would be made available for review from the City and federal lead agency. A notice would also be sent to the state intergovernmental review contacts. Working with the City and federal lead agency, HELIX would review public comments on the EA/FONSI and prepare written responses. The federal lead agency will make a separate written FONSI, incorporating by reference the EA and any other appropriate environmental documents, then a Notice of Availability for the FONSI would be released by the City.

NEPA requires federal agencies to prepare an EIS for major federal actions that significantly affect the quality of the human environment. It is not envisioned that task orders through this contract would require preparation of an EIS, so no further description of that process is provided herein. For complex projects involving multiple participating agencies, HELIX can implement a streamlined approach to CEQA/NEPA by preparing a joint CEQA/NEPA document. Prior to the preparation of a joint CEQA/NEPA document, HELIX recommends early coordination with all participating agencies to determine the appropriate scope of work that meets each agency’s needs to ensure successful delivery of the project. 92 Page | 7
City of Bishop | As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services Technical Studies
We understand that not every environmental document prepared for the City would require that each resource issue below be addressed in detail. We can contract with subconsultants for other as-needed professional environmental consultant services as-needed and upon prior approval from the City.

Biological Resources. The City is challenged with implementing smart growth while also conserving agriculture and critical natural habitat for listed fish species and rare plants. It is important that CEQA documentation provides a thorough analysis of potential biological resources impacts, including potential effects on protected species and vegetation communities (habitat) and mitigation. In addition to evaluating impacts under CEQA, HELIX can also identify other permits and approvals, such as Clean Water Act or California Fish and Game Code approvals/permits/authorizations that may be required.

Although the City has an urban base, resource-rich areas of land and sensitive habitats exist within and surrounding these urbanized areas and provide potential habitat for federal and state listed species and other species of concern, including bighorn sheep, various rare plants, and desert pup fish.

Cultural and Historic Resources. Most projects require cultural resource studies to identify and evaluate the historic and/or prehistoric resources within the proposed project area. The first steps are to review previous studies and conduct a records search. Depending upon the nature and number of resources, a field visit may be necessary, followed by efforts to determine potential impacts and appropriate mitigation measures for the resources, as applicable. If buildings or structures greater than 50 years old may be affected by a proposed project, HELIX’s architectural historians will evaluate the significance of a potentially historic resource in accordance with CEQA and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) standards. HELIX also assists lead agencies with tribal consultation pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill (SB) 18.

Aesthetics/Visual Resources. The City has diverse built and natural visual resources. The City’s uniquely charming visual character is influenced by its historic downtown center and world renowned viewshed.

One of the primary issues related to visual effects and neighborhood character is often the concern associated with achieving the densification goals of smart growth without sacrificing the character of existing communities. As with land use, EIRs shall evaluate the potential for visual and neighborhood character impacts and include discussions of applicable goals, policies, objectives, and design guidelines.

As appropriate and feasible, the CEQA document will identify measures that could reduce visual resource impacts to less than significant levels.

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions/Climate Change. The requirements for analyzing a proposed project’s air pollutant emissions have changed substantially in the last decade. In particular, EIRs now must include an analysis of a project’s potential contribution to climate change as well as compliance with the guidelines established by AB 32 and other policies related to the analysis of GHG emissions.

Mitigation may be required to demonstrate how a project would reduce emissions below significance thresholds for regulated air pollutants and/or below “business as usual” levels for GHG emissions.

Project-specific analysis of air quality-related health issues may also be required depending on the site and its proposed use. For example, a project entailing the excavation of serpentine rock may require an assessment of naturally occurring asbestos, and a project involving diesel truck use in residential neighborhoods might require a human health risk assessment.

Noise and Vibration. HELIX will assess potential project-related noise-generation including, as applicable, noise generated by project construction, project-related traffic, and/or stationary equipment such as HVAC equipment or on-site generators and vibration-generation from project demolition or construction. This analysis will address compliance with ordinances and land use compatibility standards, with a focus on potential effects to land uses considered sensitive to noise and vibration generation such 93 Page | 8
City of Bishop | As-Needed, On-Call Environmental Services as residences, hospitals, parks, etc. The potential compatibility of a proposed development with existing or planned noise sources in the vicinity of the project site also will be addressed, with the identification of noise mitigation as necessary to help achieve compliance with applicable laws/regulations and to reduce impacts to less than significant levels.

Land Use and Agricultural Resources. Land use issues fall into two principal categories: policy consistency and land use compatibility. Land uses within the City range from developed residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors to open space and agriculture. Environmental documentation will evaluate the potential for land use conflicts to be created and address applicable land use goals, policies, objectives, and design guidelines. This analysis will include an evaluation of potential inconsistencies between the applicable community plan(s) and City-wide plans and policies. As appropriate, measures will be identified which could reduce land use conflicts. The issue of agricultural resources is more narrowly limited in that it only needs to be addressed for projects that would convert agricultural land to nonagricultural uses and/or that could affect the viability of nearby agricultural operations and may be an issue of concern to the City depending on the location of development.

Hydrology/Water Quality. The issue areas of hydrology and water quality are receiving increased scrutiny and regulatory oversight, with a corresponding need to ensure that these topics are thoroughly covered in CEQA documents. Our team’s approach to these issues includes collecting background information, identifying the pertinent planning and regulatory considerations (e.g., local ordinances, General Plan policies and objectives, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit conditions and state narrative/numerical water quality objectives, and/or federal regulations), collecting additional sitespecific information as necessary, and assessing potential effects. For each significant impact, EIRs will identify practical and effective mitigation and monitoring measures, as feasible.

Transportation/Traffic Circulation/Parking. For CEQA purposes, traffic is now evaluated in terms of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). As such, it is important for the traffic impact analysis to be prepared consistent with established methodologies for evaluating a project’s potential to affect VMT. Typically, a CEQA analysis for a development project would include an evaluation of VMT pursuant to the requirements of SB 743, as well as an analysis of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit facilities, and site access and circulation.

Public Services and Facilities. The provision of adequate police, fire, and emergency medical services, as well as facilities such as libraries and schools, are important issues in all communities. Many of these facilities are already impacted by heavy demand, and communities are frequently concerned about the capacity of these services to handle increased populations associated with new development.

Accordingly, it is important for environmental documentation to provide a thorough analysis of potential effects when a proposed project could either increase the use of these services and/or adversely affect a public facility.

Energy and Water Supply. Energy use can be addressed in its own section, as part of a larger AQ/GHG study, or as a stand-alone discussion, depending on the type of project and direction from the City.

Similarly, water supply impacts may be incorporated into the assessment of public utilities for projects with little to no water demand or a Water Supply Assessment may be prepared for water-demand projects.

Public Utilities. Similar to public facilities, communities are greatly interested in how public infrastructure for water, sewer, storm drainage, solid waste disposal, and energy would be provided to support new development and be maintained at adequate levels for existing development. Where applicable, environmental documentation will address existing facilities and their capacity, the projected new demand, and any utility improvements necessary to achieve required service levels. 94 Page | 9

• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to Agency as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by Agency’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with Agency at all times during the term of this contract. Agency reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, his agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by Agency shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of Agency before the Agency’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.

All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.

All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against Agency, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against Agency, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. 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 all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to Agency with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. 138

Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to Agency for review.

Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the Agency and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Agency. Agency reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by Agency.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give Agency prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work. 139
