Section 15. Conflicts of Interest.
15.1Consultant covenants that neither Consultant, nor any officer, principal or employee of its firm, has or will acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, that would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or that would in any way hinder Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant’s attention is directed to the conflict of interest rules applicable to governmental decision-making contained in the Political Reform Act (California Government Code Section 87100 and following) and its implementing regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 18700 and following), and California Government Code section 1090.
15.2 Consultant covenants that neither Consultant, nor any officer, principal or employee of CC Agreement 2023-30
Form Approved April 2021 7
its firm will make, participate in the making, or in any way attempt to use the position of Consultant to influence any decision of the City in which Consultant knows or has reason to know that Consultant, or any officer, principal or employee of Consultant has any of the financial interests listed in Government Code section 87103.
15.3 If Consultant discovers that it has employed a person with a direct or indirect interest that would conflict with its performance of this Agreement, Consultant must promptly disclose the relationship to City and take such action as City may direct to remedy the conflict.
15.4 City understands and acknowledges that Consultant is, as of the Effective Date, independently involved in the performance of non-related services for other governmental agencies and private parties. Consultant represents that, except as otherwise disclosed to City, it is unaware of any stated position of City relative to these projects. Any future position of City on these projects will not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.
Section 16. Indemnification.
16.1Consultant agrees that it will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City from all Services Claims and Operations Claims (each defined below) related to the performance by Consultant of this Agreement as provided in this section. Consultant acknowledges that City would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of Consultant’s commitment to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City as set forth in this section.
16.2 For the purposes of this section, “City” includes City’s officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers, and “Consultant” includes Consultant’s officers, officials, employees, agents and subcontractors and any other persons for whom Consultant is legally responsible.
16.3 With respect to the performance of professional services under this Agreement where the law establishes a professional standard of care for such services, Consultant agrees to indemnify, and hold harmless City from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including but not limited to reimbursement of reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs of defense, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant (collectively, “Services Claims”).
16.4 With respect to the acts and operations of Consultant under this Agreement other than the performance of professional services, Consultant agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs of defense, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant, and excepting only those claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and costs caused by City’s sole negligence or willful misconduct (collectively, “Operations Claims”).
16.5 Consultant must notify City within five days of receipt of notice of any Operations Claims or Services Claims made or legal action initiated that arises out of or pertains to Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement.
16.6 Consultant’s duty to defend Operations Claims is a separate and distinct obligation from Consultant’s duty to indemnify City for any Operations Claims. With respect to Operations Claims, Consultant is obligated to defend City in all legal, equitable, CC Agreement 2023-30
Form Approved April 2021 8
administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel reasonably approved by City, immediately upon tender to Consultant of an Operations Claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Consultant are responsible for the Operations Claim does not relieve Consultant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this section. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals.
16.7 Consultant agrees that settlement of any Operations or Services Claim against City requires the consent of City. City agrees that its consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that Consultant is financially able (based on demonstrated assets including insurance) to fulfill its obligation to indemnify City for the costs of any such settlement as required under this Agreement.
16.8 The insurance required to be maintained by Consultant under this Agreement is intended to ensure Consultant’s obligations under this section, but the limits of such insurance do not limit the liability of Consultant.
16.9 Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement. If Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required, Consultant will be fully responsible for all obligations under this section. City’s failure to monitor compliance with this requirement imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights under this Agreement.
16.10 The parties acknowledge and agree that design professionals are required to defend and indemnify the City only to the extent permitted by Civil Code section 2782.8, which allows for claims only to the extent that they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the design professional, and also places limitations on the costs of defense that may be charged to a design professional.
The term "design professional,” is defined in Section 2782.8, and includes licensed architects, licensed landscape architects, registered professional engineers, professional land surveyors and the business entities that offer such services in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 16 are to be interpreted and applied to the fullest extent permitted by Civil Code section 2782.8.
16.11 The provisions of this section will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Exhibit C (Insurance).
Section 17. Insurance.
Consultant agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the insurance coverages listed in Exhibit C (Insurance), which is made a part of this Agreement. All insurance policies are subject to approval by City as to form and content.
These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the City Manager or City Attorney.
Section 18. Assignment.
The expertise and experience of Consultant are material considerations for this Agreement.
City has an interest in the qualifications of and capability of the persons and entities that will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Consultant under this Agreement. In recognition CC Agreement 2023-30
Form Approved April 2021 9
of that interest, Consultant may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Consultant’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of City, which may be withheld in the City’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment will be null and void, and will constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including summary termination of this Agreement.
Section 19. Default; Limitations on Liability.
19.1 In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, City will have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any services performed after City provides written notice to Consultant of such default.
19.2 Consultant agrees that no City official, officer, employee or agent will be personally liable to Consultant in the event of any default or breach of City, or for any amount which may become due to Consultant, or for any obligations directly or indirectly incurred under this Agreement.
19.3 City’s liability under this Agreement is limited to payment of Consultant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and excludes any liability whatsoever for consequential or indirect damages even if such damages are foreseeable.
Section 20. Termination of Agreement.
20.1 City may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, at any time by written notice of termination to Consultant. In the event such notice is given, Consultant must cease immediately all work and services in progress.
20.2 Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice of termination to City.
20.3 Upon termination of this Agreement by either Consultant or City, all property belonging to City that is in Consultant’s possession must be returned to City. Consultant must promptly deliver to City a final invoice for all outstanding services performed and expenses incurred by Consultant as of the date of termination. Compensation for work in progress not based on an hourly rate will be prorated based on the percentage of work completed as of the date of termination.
20.4 Consultant acknowledges City’s rights to terminate this Agreement as provided in this section, and hereby waives any and all claims for damages that might otherwise arise from City’s termination of this Agreement.

Task 2.2 – General Sheets/Utilities/Civil Site/Drainage/H&H This task will cover work involving utility research; pedestrian underpass ramps, stairwells, and sidewalks; parking lot reconfiguration; ADA compliance throughout the project footprint; and hydrology and hydraulic (H&H) calculations to assist in drainage design related to parking lot regrading. The utility research will include review of as-built drawings, evaluate for potential conflicts with proposed design, and determine need for any relocation requirements and design thereof. Utility research will be performed as design progresses through the 30 and 60 percent design phases. The underpass work will involve grading design, profiles, sections, and layout of sidewalks, ramps, and stairwells as well as grading and layouts for retaining walls and tunnel structure. Parking lot reconfiguration involves both the North and South parking lots in the vicinity of the new pedestrian underpass and will include regrading as required to accommodate the new stairs and ramps for the new pedestrian tunnel and other elements as required to meet drainage. This task will also make modifications to the exiting parking lots to provide ADA compliant paths from the public right-of-way, and ADA parking stalls, to the connection points with the new steps and ramps.
An effort will be made to minimally reconfigure the existing parking lots, keep as many parking spaces as possible, and re-direct as much of the storm flows to swales and landscaping areas in coordination with the landscape design. The design in this task will incorporate recommendations for treatment of storm water to comply with the City’s NPDES permit as well as modifications to the existing storm drain system to accommodate the re-regraded parking lots and as may be required by the hydrology and hydraulic calculation results, and to accommodate the proposed treatment devices if required.

CC Agreement 2023-30
oSubsurface Explorations: We propose to drill, log and sample two (2) hollow stem auger borings near the east and west tunnel entrances and two (2) borings near the ramps and stairs for each side of the tunnel. The borings will be excavated to evaluate geotechnical properties of the subsurface soil and to collect soil samples for laboratory testing. The borings will be advanced to a maximum depth of approximately 50 feet. The borings will be visually logged, and representative bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples will be collected.
Two (2) additional shallow borings will be excavated to a depth of approximately 5 feet or as directed by the civil engineer for infiltration testing. The borings will be located in landscape areas. Infiltration tests will be conducted in accordance with Ventura County Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs). As we understand, the project may be exempt from post-construction BMPs and infiltration testing may not be required. Until we receive such confirmation from RailPros or the City, infiltration tests remain part of this scope. If the tests are not required, our scope and fee can be adjusted accordingly.
Drilling within the Union Pacific Right of way would require an encroachment permit that could add significant delays to the project and significant increase in cost. In discussion with RailPros, we have decided to locate the borings outside of the Union Pacific right of way at approximately 10 feet east of the east entrance to the tunnel and approximately 40 feet west of the west entrance to the tunnel. Based on initial review of the site and available subsurface information in the area, we anticipate that the soils are laterally continuous throughout the tunnel alignment and adjacent area. Laterally continuous soils would mean that the borings can be located outside of the Union Pacific right of way, while still obtaining accurate site specific subsurface soil information so that a permit is not required.
The borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings and patched to match pervious conditions upon completion.
oGeotechnical Laboratory Testing: Laboratory tests will be performed on selected, representative soil samples to evaluate the engineering properties of the site soils. Test conducted may include maximum dry density and optimum moisture content, in situ dry density and moisture content, maximum dry density and optimum moisture content, direct shear, grain size distribution, Expansion Index, Atterberg limits, consolidation, and corrosivity.
oAnalysis and Report Preparation: We will prepare a geotechnical design report addressing the proposed tunnel undercrossing, the ramps, stairs and parking lot. Our report will be signed and stamped by a California licensed Professional Engineer (PE) and Geotechnical CC Agreement 2023-30
Engineer (GE). In this report, we will document our geotechnical findings, conclusions and recommendations for proposed new structures, and specifically address the following:
oGeologic and Seismic Hazards: We will discuss potential geologic hazards at this site, including potential for surface fault rupture, ground shaking, liquefaction, lateral spreading and differential seismic compaction; based on available data. oSeismic Design: We will provide site-specific seismic coefficients in accordance with ASCE/SEI 7-16 and the 2019 California Building Code (CBC). oGrading and Earthwork: We will present earthwork criteria, including recommendations for fill and backfill materials, and backfill compaction. oFoundations: Utilizing data collected during our current exploration, we will recommend allowable vertical and lateral bearing pressures for use in designing spread-footing foundations. We will also provide foundation design criteria including recommendations for minimum size, embedment depth, allowable vertical and lateral capacities, coefficient of friction, and expected total and differential settlements. oRetaining Walls: We will provide lateral earth pressures including active, at rest and passive, for design of retaining walls and tunnel walls. We will include a seismic increment for any walls greater than 6 feet in height. In consultation with the structural engineer, we will provide recommendations for implementation of surcharge loading such as trains, and vehicle traffic.
oSlabs-On-Grade: We will present concrete slab-on-grade design criteria, including recommendations for subgrade preparation, moisture vapor mitigation and if necessary, non-expansive fill.
oAsphalt Pavements: We will provide asphalt pavement recommendations for auto and truck parking.
Temporary Excavations: Utilizing the data collected during our exploration, we will present temporary excavation guidelines including OSHA soil type and lateral loads for design of temporary shoring (construction site safety is the responsibility of the contractor). oDeliverables: We will provide a geotechnical design report for submittal with the 30% design phase. For the remaining 60% and 90% design phases we will provide support for the design team and respond to review comments from the City’s geotechnical reviewer.
Task Assumptions
oWe assume that our field exploration can be performed during daylight hours on weekdays and that the site will be accessible.
CC Agreement 2023-30
oWe assume that the City will assist with obtaining site access from VCTC. For the purposes of this proposal we assumed that a VCTC permit will be required with a fee not exceeding $1,000.
oWe assume that this project is subject to California Prevailing Wage Laws. oWe assume that the soil is laterally continuous within the area of the tunnel and that the borings can be located outside of the Union Pacific Right of way. oWe assume that two response reports will be required to regulatory agency comments, if received.
oBased on the schedule we assume that as many as 10, 1-hour design team meetings will be required throughout the length of the project.
oWe assume that the applicable agencies will allow and assist us in clearing the parking lot and blocking parking stalls for utility clearance and drilling activities. We assume traffic control outside of blocking parking stalls is not required. oAt this time, we assume that infiltration testing is required.
Task 2.9.2 – Phase I ESA
oPhase I ESA: We will conduct a Phase I ESA for the subject site in general accordance with current ASTM “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessments Process” E 1527-13. In addition, our services will be provided in accordance with “Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) 40 CFR Part 312.” The following scope of services will be provided:

Leighton personnel will also review pertinent historical resources, contact appropriate city, county, state, and federal agencies for information regarding (but not limited to) the presence of storage tanks, hazardous materials, petroleum hydrocarbons, etc. oSite Reconnaissance: We will visit the subject site for an observational reconnaissance for exposed and visible indications of environmental conditions, including but not limited to distressed vegetation, presence of aboveground or underground storage tanks and/or associated piping/vents, presence/storage of hazardous substances or petroleum products, wells, and evidence of dumping.
CC Agreement 2023-30
The site reconnaissance will be conducted without encroaching on the train tracks, the existing overhead pedestrian walkway and sidewalks will be used to observe the site so that a Union Pacific encroachment permit will not be required. oInterviews: A reasonable attempt will be made to interview present and/or past owners, lessees, key site managers, occupants, and employees for additional information regarding past and present site use.
oInformation Required from the Client: The current ASTM E 1527-13 Phase I ESA Standards and/or AAI require disclosures detailing any environmental liens or activity and use limitations, client disclosures regarding specialized knowledge regarding environmental conditions at the subject site, and special price reductions from the fair market value of the subject site due to environmental conditions. If available, we also request that the client provide owner contact information, complete an owner/tenant interview form and user questionnaire, provide previous geotechnical or environmental reports not completed by Leighton, provide a 50-Year Chain of Title document for each parcel comprising the subject site, and provide reproducible or electronic copies of site development plan(s).
oDeliverables: We will provide a Phase I ESA report for submittal with the 30% design phase.

Subject: Proposal to Provide California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Support for the Proposed Metrolink Station Pedestrian Undercrossing Project in the City of Camarillo, Ventura County, California
Dear Mr. Williams:
Rincon Consultants, Inc. (“Rincon”) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide environmental consulting services to RailPros for the proposed Metrolink Station Pedestrian Undercrossing Project (“project”) in the City of Camarillo (“City”), Ventura County, California. The project would result in the construction of a new pedestrian undercrossing beneath two existing Union Pacific railroad tracks, providing access to the Camarillo Metrolink Station and associated parking areas. The undercrossing would be constructed adjacent to Dawson Drive, North Lewis Road, the Highway 101 (Ventura Freeway) overpass, and an existing pedestrian overcrossing. The project would require the demolition of existing parking areas, the relocation of existing water lines, electric lines, and fiber optic lines, the removal of drainage infrastructure, and the addition of paved sidewalk.
It is our understanding that the City and RailPros are seeking an environmental consultant to prepare an Initial Study – Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) to satisfy the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This proposal includes our proposed scope of work, and our proposed schedule and cost for completion of the project work program.
Scope of Work
The tasks below outline Rincon’s approach to completing the required environmental documentation to inform and support the environmental determination for the proposed project. The following tasks include preparation of the CEQA ISMND and environmental technical work.
Task 1: Project Management
Project Management tasks will be carried out for the duration of the CEQA compliance phase of the project. Rincon will manage project duties to assure a cost efficient, quality product and defensible process. As part of the overall project management, Rincon will prepare and maintain an environmental quality control plan, maintain the project schedule, track the budget for CEQA clearance activities, coordinate with the Rincon team, City and RailPros staff, and other relevant stakeholders, and monitor and review the project for conformance with all standards, policies, and procedures. Rincon’s proposed CC Agreement 2023-30
RailPros
Environmental Services for Metrolink Station Pedestrian Undercrossing Project
budget for this task also includes up to four project status calls that will be held throughout the execution of the approved scope of work.
Task 2: CEQA Project Initiation
Rincon will lead a CEQA kickoff meeting for the project in coordination with RailPros and City staff, consistent with COVID safety protocols, to confirm the CEQA approach, discuss project plans, and identify other relevant data pertaining to the project not already transmitted. Rincon will use this opportunity to tailor the environmental planning process to address specific needs and goals of the project and confirm the scope of technical study work, deliverables, and schedule. Rincon will prepare a meeting agenda, identify any outstanding needs, and prepare and circulate a meeting summary identifying action items after the kickoff meeting. The Project Initiation Task also includes internal project setup and initial coordination of the project team. Rincon will also visit the project site to confirm and document existing conditions.
Task 3: Project Description
Within two weeks of the Project Initiation meeting and receipt of all requested project information, Rincon will provide an Administrative Draft Project Description (PD) to RailPros for review and comment.
The Administrative Draft PD will include a description of the proposed project, including project purpose, project characteristics, and required discretionary approvals. The PD will include textual, tabular, and up to four graphic presentations. The PD will be based upon information provided by RailPros, including during (and in response to) the Project Initiation meeting, as well as any relevant existing studies and Rincon’s familiarity with the project area. The PD will be revised based on City and RailPros comments received, and will be used as the basis of the environmental analysis for the ISMND.
Task 4: Administrative Draft IS-MND
Rincon will prepare an Administrative Draft ISMND using the CEQA Appendix G Environmental Checklist. To the extent feasible, existing background reports, technical studies and other available databases will be used and impacts will be quantified and compared to quantitative significance thresholds. Additionally, Rincon will prepare required technical analysis to support the ISMND (detailed below in Tasks 79). Where appropriate, impacts will be quantified in relation to established thresholds of significance. A determination of significance will be made for each issue area and mitigation measures will be provided as necessary for identified significant effects. The following describes our general approach to all CEQA checklist items.
▪Aesthetics. Shortterm and longterm visual impacts (i.e., visual character and views from adjacent areas) resulting from the project will be assessed based on a field review of the project site and surrounding area. The analysis will also consider light and glare impacts from additional aboveground pedestrian lighting associated with the rail crossing. ▪Agriculture and Forestry Resources. The ISMND will confirm that there would be no effect on farmland or forestland and that the project would not convert such lands to another use. ▪Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Rincon will prepare an air quality analysis consistent with Ventura County Air Pollution Control District standards. Construction criteria pollutant emissions will be quantified using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). The analysis will also analyze the potential for the project to emit toxic air contaminants and odors from construction equipment. A quantitative operational emissions analysis will not be provided because the project would not be expected to result in such emissions.
CC Agreement 2023-30
RailPros
Environmental Services for Metrolink Station Pedestrian Undercrossing Project
▪Biological Resources. Rincon will conduct a review of existing literature/database sources, including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database, CDFW Biogeographic Information and Observation System, California Native Plant Society Online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Information for Planning and Consultation and Critical Habitat Portal, to assess potential impacts to sensitive species, vegetation, habitats, trees, and nesting birds. Other resources include the Ventura County GIS databases, aerial photographs, topographic maps, and other readily available literature regarding biological resources potentially present on the project site. This scope of work assumes no wetlands or Waters of the U.S. are present on the project site or would be impacted by project activities.
▪Cultural Resources. The cultural resources analysis for the ISMND will be informed by the Cultural Resources Technical Report, as described under Task 8, which will identify potential impacts to historic resources, archaeological resources, and human remains. Mitigation measures will be included as needed.
▪Energy. The energy analysis will assess the potential for wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources. Construction energy usage will be quantified using CalEEMod.
The analysis will also consider the project’s consistency with state and local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency.
▪Geology and Soils. Based on readily available sources (such as the City’s General Plan Safety Element and any additional geotechnical reports prepared for the site), this analysis will identify existing regional and sitespecific geology and soils constraints (such as liquefaction, compressible soils, and subsidence). As necessary, the analysis will identify erosion control criteria and grading requirements to achieve consistency with the City’s geologic and grading standards and policies. Rincon will also present a paleontological resources analysis summarizing the project’s potential to impact paleontological resources. The assessment will provide the results of a literature review and record search, discuss the regional geology and the geologic unit(s) located within the project site, characterize the paleontological sensitivity of the geologic unit(s) using the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology paleontological sensitivity classification system, assess the potential for significant impacts to scientifically important paleontological resources under state and federal guidelines, and provide management recommendations for avoiding or reducing impacts to paleontological resources from project development as necessary. No fieldwork will be necessary to complete the paleontological analysis. This scope assumes Los Angeles County Museum Record Search direct expenses will not exceed $600.
▪Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Rincon will prepare a greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis consistent with Ventura County Air Pollution Control District and Camarillo standards. Construction GHG emissions will be quantified using CalEEMod. The analysis will also consider the project’s consistency with applicable GHG regulations, plans, and policies. A quantitative operational emissions analysis will not be provided because the project would not be expected to result in such emissions.
▪Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Rincon will address hazards risks based on a review of client provided documents (if any), online historical aerial photographs, and readily available databases such as the State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker and Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor databases to identify known release sites and potential environmental concern sites. This analysis will also include a review of a Phase I ESA (if available). The nearby presence of educational facilities and airports will also be researched for CC Agreement 2023-30
RailPros
Environmental Services for Metrolink Station Pedestrian Undercrossing Project
potential hazardous material impacts. If significant impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be developed to avoid or minimize project impacts. This scope of work does not include a Hazardous Materials Technical Study or a site reconnaissance. If desired, Rincon is able to provide such services under an additional scope and fee. ▪Hydrology and Water Quality. Existing hydrology/drainage data for the project area will be reviewed to identify any existing localized flooding or drainage problems. The review will consider changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, storm drain improvements, and downstream effects. The potential for the project to violate water quality standards or waste discharge requirements will also be analyzed. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and associated local requirements will be referenced and incorporated as appropriate. ▪Land Use and Planning. This discussion will analyze the relationship of the proposed project to applicable planning policies and ordinances, including the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, and the Southern California Association of Government’s (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). Rincon’s team will review any discrepancies between existing policies and the proposed project. Additionally, Rincon will assess the project’s potential to divide an established community.
▪Mineral Resources. This discussion will review readily available mineral resources mapping to determine whether the project would affect mineral resources. ▪Noise. Rincon will prepare a noise and vibration analysis consistent with City standards. Rincon will characterize ambient noise levels based upon General Plan noise contours. Construction noise levels from the project will be analyzed using the Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM). In addition, construction vibration levels will be quantified at the nearest vibration sensitive receivers. A quantitative operational noise analysis will not be provided because the project would not be expected to result in noise generation. ▪Population/Housing. The analysis will document that the proposed use would evaluate the potential for the project to result in substantial growth inducement or residential displacement.
Impacts are not anticipated.
▪Public Services. The project’s effects related to the provision of services, including fire, law enforcement, and recreational services, will be evaluated. Data sources will include readily available documents, such as the City’s General Plan and public service websites. ▪Recreation. The analysis will address that the project would not have direct impacts to local recreation facilities or indirect impacts associated with the deterioration of parks due to increased demand for recreational facilities. Data sources will include the City’s General Plan and General Plan EIR.
▪Transportation. The proposed project involves construction of a pedestrian undercrossing. It is assumed this use at the site would not generate new vehicular trips to the site, and thus the project would not require a sitespecific traffic study. Rather, Rincon will qualitatively assess the project’s impacts on VMT. The ISMND will also address impacts to the local and regional circulation system, transportation hazards associated with a crossing beneath the rail line, and emergency vehicle access.
▪Tribal Cultural Resources. If requested, Rincon will assist with commencing the required AB 52 consultation, as described under Optional Subtask 8.5. The results of tribal consultation will be described in the ISMND, and any mitigation measures required or requested by consulting tribes will be incorporated.
▪Utilities and Service Systems. Impacts to existing infrastructure, including water, wastewater, solid waste, and electricity/natural gas facilities will be evaluated.
CC Agreement 2023-30
RailPros
Environmental Services for Metrolink Station Pedestrian Undercrossing Project
▪Wildfire. Based on readily available sources (such as the City’s Safety Element and CAL FIRE maps), Rincon will discuss wildfire risk at the project site and how risks will be minimized through project features.
▪Mandatory Findings of Significance. This section will address cumulative effects, impacts to biological or cultural resources, and impacts to human beings.
Task 5: Public Review Draft IS-MND and Notice of Intent (NOI) The Public Review Draft ISMND will be comprised of the revised Administrative Draft ISMND, with revisions and responses to two rounds of review incorporated. In preparation for public review of the Draft ISMND, Rincon will provide a “street ready” version of the ISMND to RailPros for review and approval prior to publication for public review; it is assumed that no substantive revisions will be necessary at this step. The required 30day public review period for CEQA may be initiated upon RailPros and City approval of the “street ready” Draft ISMND. This scope of work assumes Rincon will not attend a public hearing during the public review period.
Rincon will prepare the required Notice of Intent (NOI) to Adopt an ISMND for the proposed project.
This scope of work assumes the City will electronically file the NOI with the California State Clearinghouse (SCH) to initiate the public review period; the City will distribute the NOI to adjacent property owners, parties that have requested such notifications, and regulatory agencies; the City will file the NOI with the Ventura County Clerk Recorder (and provide the $50 filing fee); and, the City will publish the NOI in a local newspaper circulated in the project area.
Task 6: Final IS-MND and Notice of Determination (NOD)
During the public review period, following publication of the Public Review Draft ISMND, public and agency comments will be collected on the Draft ISMND, and Rincon will update the document to address these comments and incorporate revisions as necessary. It is anticipated that minimal revisions will be necessary between the Draft ISMND and the Final ISMND.
After collection of all public comments on the Draft ISMND, Rincon will prepare draft responses to comments and revisions or additions to the ISMND resulting from comments received on the Draft IS MND. The Final ISMND will be comprised of the responses to comments, revised or added portions of the Draft ISMND, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP). The MMRP will take the form of a detailed table to compile all mitigation measures for the project and provide all information necessary to monitor compliance with each measure, including identification of the parties responsible for monitoring compliance, timing when the mitigation and monitoring must occur, frequency of monitoring, and criteria to be used to determine compliance with each measure. Rincon will provide responses to one round of comments from RailPros and one round of comments from the City on the Final ISMND, and incorporate associated revisions as needed.
Rincon will also complete the Notice of Determination (NOD) form for filing with the Ventura County Clerk’s office upon certification of the document and project approval. This scope of work assumes the City will electronically file the NOD with the California SCH and will provide payment for all filing fees associated with the NOD, including the Ventura County and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) CEQA filing fees ($2814 through 2023).

Task 7: Cultural Resources
Subtask 7.1: California Historical Resources Information System Records Search Rincon will conduct a California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) records search of the project site and a 0.5mile radius around it at the SouthCentral Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) located at California State University, Fullerton. The primary purpose of the records search is to identify any cultural resources known to exist within or adjacent to the project site. In addition to the resource records and reports, an examination will be made of historical maps, the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, the Built Environment Resources Directory, the Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility list, and the listing of California Historical Landmarks. The records search will also reveal the nature and extent of any cultural resources work conducted within or near the project site. This scope assumes SCCIC direct expenses will not exceed $1000. Due to ongoing COVID19 restrictions, record search requests at SCCIC are typically fulfilled in 812+ weeks. If the results of record searches results will have schedule or budget ramifications, it will be communicated to RailPros in a timely manner to maintain the project schedule and allow RailPros to manage project risk effectively. This scope of work does not include an inperson search or processing of the results.
Subtask 7.2: Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File Request On behalf of RailPros and the City of Camarillo, Rincon will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to request a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search. The SLF search will indicate whether recorded Sacred Lands are present within the vicinity of the project site. The NAHC will also provide a list of Native American contacts for the project, which will be provided to RailPros and the City. This does not constitute Assembly Bill 52 consultation.
Subtask 7.3: Assembly Bill 52 Assistance Package
Under AB 52 (California Government Code Section 21080.3.1 (a)), the CEQA lead agency is required to begin consultation with California Native American Tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site prior to the release of a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report. Rincon will request an AB 52 consultation list from the NAHC and will assist with consultation under AB 52 by providing the lead agency with letter templates, checklists, and detailed instructions to help ensure meaningful consultation with interested Native American groups.
Typically, NAHC list requests are fulfilled within 1014 business days. After receipt of letters, Native American Tribes have 30 days to reply to a request for consultation under AB 52. Rincon assumes the leady agency will officially contact all applicable Tribes. Additionally, this assistance does not include an assessment of impacts to Tribal Cultural Resources for a CEQA document. Rincon can assist with these tasks for an additional cost.
This task will assist in general consultation with Native American Tribes beyond the initial letter invitations required by AB 52 (California Government Code Section 21080.3.1 (a)). Rincon will aid the City of Camarillo in language use, methodology, emails, and formal letter replies, and inperson communication between the City of Camarillo and all interested Tribal groups. Rincon will aid in the drafting of no more than 20 formal letters, 20 formal emails, and two inperson meetings. Virtual meetings can be substituted for inperson meetings. A table documenting these efforts will be created and attached to the report in an appendix alongside an example letter and all replies.
Assumptions and Limitations:
▪RailPros will provide mapping data for the project design in GIS or CAD formats.

EXHIBIT C
INSURANCE
1. Required Insurance. Before commencing any services, Consultant must procure and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the following types of insurance with at least the minimum coverage listed and subject to the applicable additional requirements set forth below:
Type of Insurance Limits (combined single)
Commercial General Liability $5,000,000 / $10,000,000 aggregate Business Automobile Liability $2,000,000
Workers’ Compensation Statutory
Professional Liability $2,000,000
2. Insurance Rating. All insurance required to be maintained by Consultant must be issued by companies licensed by or admitted to conduct insurance business in the State of California by the California Department of Insurance and must have a rating of A- or better and Financial Size Category Class VII or better by the latest edition of A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by City’s legal counsel.
3. Commercial General Liability Insurance. The commercial general liability insurance must meet or exceed the requirements of Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, and must be provided on a per occurrence basis for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. The insurance must be on an “occurrence” not a “claims made” basis. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There must be no cross-liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. The insurance must include a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self-insurance, a primary and non-contributory endorsement, and an additional insured endorsement, all in favor of the City, its officers, employees and agents, and volunteers. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
The following persons or entities must also be named as additional insureds:
•Union Pacific Railroad Co
•Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC)
•Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency (LOSSAN) •Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA)/Metrolink
4. Business Automobile Insurance. The business automobile insurance coverage must be at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01, covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with the services to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount stated above per combined single limit for each accident. Such insurance must include both a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self-insurance, and a primary and non-contributory endorsement, both in favor of the City, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
5. Workers’ Compensation. If Consultant has any employees, Consultant must maintain workers’ compensation insurance (statutory limits) and employer’s liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000). Such insurance must include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
6. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance. The professional liability insurance must cover the services to be performed under this Agreement. The coverage must be provided on a CC Agreement 2023-30
Form Approved April 2021 C-2
“claims made” basis. Consultant must maintain continuous coverage through a period not less than three years after the completion of the services required under this Agreement.
7. Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance. If an excess or umbrella liability policy is used to meet minimum limit requirements, the insurance must provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella or excess liability policy must include a “drop-down provision” requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any reason. Coverage must be provided on a “pay-on-behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There may be no cross-liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. The policy must “follow form” to the underlying primary policy.
Coverage must be applicable to all insureds under the primary policies. The insurance must contain or be endorsed to contain a waiver of subrogation applicable to the insurance or self-insurance, and a primary and non-contributory endorsement for the benefit of City. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of the required proof of insurance.
8. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retention. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions applicable to the insurance policies required under this Agreement must be declared to and approved by City. In no event may any required insurance policy have a deductible, self-insured retention or other similar policy provision in excess of $50,000 without prior written approval by City in its sole discretion. At the option of City, either the insurer will reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self- insured retentions with respect to the City’s additional insureds or Consultant will procure a bond guaranteeing payment of any losses, damages, expenses, costs or settlements up to the amount of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
9. Certificates of Insurance and Endorsements; Notice of Termination or Changes to Policies.
Prior to commencing any services under this Agreement, Consultant must file with the City certificates of insurance and endorsements evidencing the existence of all insurance required by this Agreement, along with such other evidence of insurance or certified copies of policies as may reasonably be required by City. These certificates of insurance and endorsements must be in a form approved by the City’s legal counsel. Consultant must maintain current certificates and endorsements on file with City during the term of this Agreement reflecting the existence of all required insurance. Each of the certificates must expressly provide that no material change in the policy, or termination or cancellation of the required coverage, will be effective except upon 30 days’ prior written notice to City by certified mail, return receipt requested (except for nonpayment for which a 10-day notice is required). The delivery to City of any certificates of insurance or endorsements that do not comply with the requirements of this Agreement will not waive the City’s right to require compliance. In the event that Consultant’s policies are materially changed, Consultant must provide the City with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the applicable changes. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time.
10. Failure to Maintain Required Insurance. If Consultant, for any reason, fails to have in place at all times during the term of this Agreement all of the required insurance coverage, the City may, but is not obligated to, obtain such coverage at Consultant’s expense and deduct the cost from the sums due Consultant. Alternatively, City may terminate the Agreement.
11. Effect of Coverage. The existence of the required insurance coverage under this Agreement will not be deemed to satisfy or limit Consultant’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement.
Consultant acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this Agreement constitute the minimum coverage and policy limits required. Should any coverage carried by the Consultant or any subcontractor of any tier have limits of liability that exceed the limits or have broader coverage than required in this Agreement, those higher limits and that broader coverage are deemed to apply for the benefit of any person or organization included as an additional insured and those limits and broader coverage will become the required minimum limits and insurance coverage in all sections of this Agreement. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of CC Agreement 2023-30
Form Approved April 2021 C-3
the limits and coverages required by this Agreement, and which is applicable to a given loss, must be made available to City to compensate it for such losses.
12. Required Insurance for Subconsultants/Subcontractors. Consultant agrees to ensure that any subconsultants/subcontractors providing services under this Agreement provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to review and monitor all such coverage and assumes responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement.
13. Right to Revise Insurance Specifications. City reserves the right to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant at least 90 days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, the parties may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
14. Timely Notice of Claims. Consultant must give City prompt notice of claims made of lawsuits initiated 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 insurance policies.
