Agenda Item 5.3
DATE: June 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Project Funding for Fiscal Year 2024-25
Prepared by: Oliver Castillo, Assistant Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving the use of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Project Funding for the construction of the Regional Street Mid-Block Crossing Improvement and pedestrian improvements along Amador Valley Boulevard, from the Iron Horse Regional Trail to Stagecoach Road.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving a Request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for the Allocation of Fiscal Year 2024-25 Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Project Funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is $286,445 in Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funds for Fiscal Year 2024- 25 available to the City, which Staff proposes to use to partially fund construction costs for the Regional Street Mid-Block Crossing Improvement and for pedestrian improvements along Amador Valley Boulevard. The current cost estimates for the work on Regional Street and on Amador Valley Boulevard are $586,000 and $600,000, respectively. There are no matching fund requirements associated with TDA Article 3 funds. Additional funds needed to complete the project are available in the adopted Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project, CIP No. ST0517. Once the Metropolitan Transportation Commission approves the use of the TDA Article 3 funds, Staff will reflect the funds in the budget.

DESCRIPTION:

The Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act (Senate Bill 325) was enacted by the California Legislature to improve existing public transportation services and encourage regional transportation 324

coordination. Known as the Transportation Development Act (TDA) of 1971, this law provides funding to be allocated to transit and non-transit related purposes that comply with regional transportation plans. The TDA funds a wide variety of transportation programs, including planning and program activities, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, community transit services, public transportation, and bus and rail projects.

TDA Article 3 funds are apportioned based on the population of a local jurisdiction. The funding distribution involves a three-step process: (1) apportionment, (2) allocation, and (3) payment.

Annually, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) determines the nine-county share of the anticipated TDA funding. Allocation to local jurisdictions is a discretionary action by MTC, which designates funds to a specific City or unincorporated County area for bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Payment is authorized by allocation instructions issued by MTC, which may call for payment in lump sum, in installments, or as funds become available.

To receive the allocation of TDA Article 3 funds, MTC requires the local jurisdiction to adopt a resolution that requests the allocation from funding that is already apportioned to that jurisdiction. MTC also requires that the resolution include specific findings and a copy of the TDA Article 3 Project Application Form, which are included as Attachment 1 to this report. The City Council previously adopted Resolution No. 69-21 on June 15, 2021, requesting the allocation of $188,038 in TDA funds, which are being used to fund the design phase of the Safe Routes to School – Safety and Access Improvements project. For the Fiscal Year 2024-25 allocation, Staff plans to use TDA funds for improvements on Regional Street and along Amador Valley Boulevard, as described below.

Regional Street Mid-Block Crosswalk Improvement
This project will install a mid-block crosswalk, a rectangular rapid-flashing beacon with bulbouts, sidewalk, driveway and ADA curb ramp upgrades, signing, and striping improvements on Regional Street between Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard. This project is one of the highpriority improvements identified in the Downtown Dublin Streetscape Plan and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The work will improve pedestrian visibility, safety, and access to various commercial destinations along Regional Street, and is part of the Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements project, CIP No. ST0517.

Pedestrian Improvements along Amador Valley Boulevard
This project will remove the existing sidewalk along Amador Valley Boulevard from west of the Iron Horse Regional Trail to Stagecoach Road and replace it with a wider sidewalk (curb and gutter), upgrade the trail curb ramps and median refuge to current ADA standards, and install high visibility pedestrian crosswalk markings. This portion of the project will be constructed with the Green Stormwater Infrastructure project, CIP No. ST0121, but the improvements are funded through CIP No. ST0517.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

None.

Priority Setting

1. The county coordinator shall create a process for establishing project priorities in order to prepare an annual list of projects being recommended for funding.

2. Each county and city is required to have a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) or equivalent body review and prioritize TDA Article 3 bicycle and pedestrian projects and to participate in the development and review of comprehensive bicycle pedestrian, or active transportation plans. BPACs should be composed of both bicyclists and pedestrians.

A city BPAC shall be composed of at least 3 members who live or work in the city. More members may be added as desired. They will be appointed by the City Council. The City or Town Manager will designate staff to provide administrative and technical support to the Committee.

An agency can apply to MTC for exemption from the city BPAC requirement if they can demonstrate that the countywide BPAC provides for expanded city representation.

A countywide BPAC shall be composed of at least 5 members who live or work in the county. More members may be added as desired. The countywide agency will appoint BPAC members. The county or congestion management agency executive/administrator will designate staff to provide administration and technical support to the Committee.

3. All proposed projects shall be submitted to the county coordinator for evaluation/prioritization. Consistent with the county process, the Board of the county coordinator will adopt the countywide list and forward it to MTC for approval.

4. The county coordinator will forward to MTC a copy of the following:
a) Applications for the recommended projects, including a governing body resolution, stamped environmental document, and map for each, as well as a cover letter stating the total amount of money being claimed; and confirmation that each project meets Caltrans’ minimum safety design criteria and can be completed before the allocation expires.
b) The complete priority list of projects with an electronic version to facilitate grant processing.
c) A resolution of the county coordinator approving the priority list and authorizing the claim.

MTC Staff Evaluation
MTC Staff will review the list of projects submitted by each county. If a recommended project is eligible for funding, falls within the overall TDA Article 3 fund estimate level for that county, and has a completed application, staff will recommend that funds be allocated to the project.

Allocation
The Commission will approve the allocation of funds for the recommended projects. The County Auditor will be notified by allocation instructions to reserve funds for the approved projects. Claimants will be sent copies of the allocation instructions and funds should be invoiced in accordance with the “Disbursement” section below.

Eligible Expenditures
Eligible expenditures may be incurred from the start of the fiscal year of award plus two additional fiscal years. Allocations expire at the end of third fiscal year following allocation.

For example, if funds are allocated to a project in October 2021, a claimant may be reimbursed for eligible expenses that were incurred on or after July 1, 2021. The allocation expires on June 30, 2024 and all eligible expenses must be incurred before this date. All disbursement requests should be submitted by August 31, 2024.

Disbursement

1. The claimant shall submit to MTC the following, no later than two months after the grant expiration date:
a) A copy of the allocation instructions along with a dated cover letter referring to the project by name, dollar amount and allocation instruction number and the request for a disbursement of funds;
b) Documents showing that costs have been incurred during the period of time covered by the allocation.
c) With the final invoice, the claimant shall submit a one paragraph summary of work completed with the allocated funds. This information may be included in the cover letter identified in bullet “a” above and is required before final disbursement is made.

Reimbursement requests should be emailed to [email protected].

2. MTC will approve the disbursement and, if the disbursement request was received in a timely fashion and the allocation instruction has not expired, been totally drawn down nor been rescinded, issue an authorization to the County Auditor to disburse funds to the claimant.

Resolution No. 4108

Page 5 of 7 ends

Rescissions and Expired Allocations
Funds will be allocated to claimants for specific projects, so transfers of funds to other projects sponsored by the same claimant may not be made. If a claimant has to abandon a project or cannot complete it within the time allowed, it should ask the county or congestion management agency to request that MTC rescind the allocation. Rescission requests may be submitted to and acted upon by MTC at any time during the year. Rescinded funds will be returned to the county’s apportionment.

Allocations that expire without being fully disbursed will be disencumbered in the fiscal year following expiration. The funds will be returned to county’s apportionment and will be available for allocation.

Fiscal Audit
All claimants that have received a disbursement of TDA funds are required to submit an annual certified fiscal and compliance audit for that fiscal year to MTC and to the Secretary of Business and Transportation Agency within 180 days after the close of the fiscal year, in accordance with PUC Section 99245. Article 3 applicants need not file a fiscal audit if TDA funds were not disbursed (that is, reimbursed by MTC) during a given fiscal year. Reimbursement may cover eligible expenditures from a previous fiscal year. Failure to submit the required audit for any TDA article will preclude MTC from making a new Article 3 allocation. For example, a delinquent Article 4.5 fiscal audit will delay any other TDA allocation to the city/county with an outstanding audit. Until the audit requirement is met, no new Article 3 allocations will be made.

TDA Article 3 funds may be used to pay for the fiscal audit required for this funding. 344

Appendix A: Examples of Eligible Projects
Below are some examples of eligible projects. If you have questions about whether a proposed project is eligible for funding, please contact the MTC Program Coordinator.

1. Projects that eliminate or improve an identified problem area (specific safety hazards such as high-traffic narrow roadways or barriers to travel) on routes that would otherwise provide relatively safe and direct bicycle or pedestrian travel use. For example, restriping or parking removal to provide space for bicycles; a bicycle/pedestrian bridge across a stream or railroad tracks on an otherwise useful route; a segment of multi-purpose path to divert young bicyclists from a high traffic arterial; a multi-purpose path to provide safe access to a school or other activity center; replacement of substandard grates or culverts; adjustment of traffic-actuated signals to make them bicycle sensitive. Projects based on NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) guidance or similar best practices guidance.

2. Roadway improvements or construction of a continuous interconnected route to provide reasonably direct access to activity centers (employment, educational, cultural, recreational) where access did not previously exist or was hazardous. For example, development of multi-purpose paths on continuous rights-of-way with few intersections (such as abandoned railroad rights-of-way) which lead to activity centers; an appropriate combination of shared-use paths (Class I), bike lanes (Class II), Class III, or separated bikeways (Class IV)

3. Secure bicycle parking facilities, especially in high use activity areas, at transit terminals, and at park-and-ride lots. Desirable facilities include lockers, sheltered and guarded checkin areas; self-locking sheltered racks that eliminate the need to carry a chain and racks that accept U-shaped locks.

4. Other provisions that facilitate bicycle/transit trips and walk/transit. For example, bike racks on buses, paratransit/trailer combinations, and bicycle loan or check-in facilities at transit terminals, bus stop improvements, wayfinding signage.

5. Maintenance of multiple purpose pathways that are closed to motorized traffic or for the purposes of restriping Class II bicycle lanes (provided that the total amount for Class II bicycle lane restriping does not exceed twenty percent of the county’s total TDA Article 3 allocation).

6. Funds may be used for construction and plans, specification, and estimates (PS&E) phases of work. Funds may be used for quick build projects. Quick build projects are interim capital improvements that are built with durable, low to moderate cost material to immediately address pedestrian and bicycle needs until capital upgrades are possible.

Project level environmental, planning, and right-of-way phases are not eligible uses of funds.
345
Attachment A
Resolution No. 4108

Page 7 of 7 ends

7. Projects that enhance or encourage bicycle or pedestrian commutes, including Safe Routes to Schools projects.

8. Projects that address bicycle and pedestrian safety such as those in the Local Roadway Safety Manual. Intersection safety improvements including protected intersections, bulbouts/curb extensions, transit stop extensions, installation of pedestrian countdown or accessible pedestrian signals, or pedestrian signal timing adjustments.

Agenda Item 5.5
DATE: June 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Senate Bill (SB) 1 – Fiscal Year 2024-25 Project List
Prepared by: Oliver Castillo, Assistant Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving a list of projects funded in Fiscal Year 2024-25 by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Adopting a List of Projects Funded in Fiscal Year 2024-25 by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City is projected to receive $1,899,234 in funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account in Fiscal Year 2024-25. This is in addition to the state gas tax funds the City receives annually, which is anticipated to be $2,015,285 in Fiscal Year 2024-25. Any unspent or unallocated funds will be carried forward to future years.

DESCRIPTION:

In April 2017, the State Legislature passed, and Governor Brown approved, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statues of 2017), creating the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program that address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local street and road system through increased fuel taxes. It also established a significant, stable, and ongoing increase in state transportation funding. Funds for the program are deposited into the State Transportation Fund, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA).

SB 1 is projected to generate over $5 billion annually for state and local transportation improvements. Cities and counties are slated to receive $1.5 billion for repairs to local streets and 367

Page 2 of 4 ends

roads at full implementation of SB 1. According to analysis by the League of California Cities, SB 1 will double the amount of revenue cities receive from the state for local street maintenance and rehabilitation needs, with allocations to cities based on population.

The RMRA receives funds from the following taxes imposed under SB 1:
 A 12-cent-per-gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax.  A 20-cent-per-gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax, half of which will be allocated to Trade Corridors Enhancement Account (TCEA) with the remaining half to the RMRA.  A vehicle registration tax called the “Transportation Improvement Fee,” based on the market value of the vehicle.
 A $100 vehicle registration tax on zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) of model year 2020 and later, effective July 1, 2020.
 Annual rate increases to these taxes beginning July 1, 2020 (July 1, 2021 for the ZEV fee), and every July 1 thereafter for the change in the California Consumer Price Index (CPI). The first adjustment was made on July 1, 2020 covering CPI change for two years: November 1, 2017 through November 12, 2019.

RMRA funds are in addition to the traditional state gas tax funds, which have been in place for decades and are allocated by the state through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA). The rules associated with the use of RMRA funds are similar, but not identical to the rules associated with HUTA funds. RMRA funds must be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the following:
 Road maintenance and rehabilitation
 Safety projects
 Railroad grade separations
 Traffic control devices
 Complete streets components, which include active transportation projects, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with other allowable projects
Additionally, if a city or county has an average Pavement Condition Index of 80 or more (very good to excellent), then the city or county may spend its RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than those listed above. The City of Dublin currently has a three-year moving average Pavement Condition Index of 80.

Maintenance of Effort
SB 1 requires that RMRA funds not supplant existing general revenues that the City of Dublin is using on streets and roads. This is referred to as the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement.

The MOE is calculated by the State Controller based upon the City’s average spending for street and road purposes for Fiscal Years 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. The City of Dublin’s MOE was 368

Page 3 of 4 ends

calculated as $1,229,320, and for Fiscal Years 2024-25 through 2028-29, the City meets the MOE requirement.

Reporting Requirements
For the City to receive RMRA funds, SB 1 requires the annual submission of a project list to the California Transportation Commission. The project list must be adopted by the City Council by July 1 in the form of a resolution adhering to the reporting guidelines. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, Staff recommends that the City Council approve the project list to include the following:
 Annual Street Resurfacing (CIP No. ST0117) for FY 2024-25 RMRA funding: $2,350,000
This project provides for a variety of pavement surface treatments and repairs to existing City streets. The project is budgeted annually to help maintain the significant investment the City has in the street system. Project locations vary each year; in Fiscal Year 2024-25, the project will provide a slurry seal to collector and residential streets in Dublin Ranch including: Antone Way, Applegate Court, Applegate Way, Blackstone Road, Castleton Court, Castleton Lane, Cedar Crest Terrace, Colebrook Court, Colebrook Lane, Cranbrook Place, Crestridge Terrace, Ferncroft Court, Ferncroft Way, Groveland Lane, Hartland Court, Hartland Lane, Longmeadow Place, N Bridgepoint Lane, N Dublin Ranch Road, N Forestdale Circle, Oakbluff Lane, Oakhurst Court, Oakhurst Way, Rams Gate Court, S Bridgepoint Lane, S Dublin Ranch Road, S Forestdale Circle, Saddlebrook Place, Sugarloaf Court, Woodshire Lane, Hobstone Place, Milbridge Court, Penwood Lane, Penwood Place, Woodvale Terrace, Ledgewood Terrace, Round Hill Drive, Positano Parkway, Newfields Lane, Calcagno Court, Campanille Court, Croak Road, N Terracina Drive, Porcellano Way, S Terracina Drive, Tramont Drive, Travertino Street, Vasari Street, Viento Court, Volterra Court, and Volterra Drive.

Additional projects in the Annual Street Resurfacing project include a cape seal project on Dublin Boulevard, west of Silvergate Drive, and an overlay project on John Monego Court and Dublin Boulevard between Myrtle Drive and John Monego Court.

Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2024 and be complete in fall/winter 2024.

Surface treatments and repairs completed with this project will have a useful life of between seven and 20 years.
 Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements (CIP No. ST0517) for FY 2024-25 RMRA Funding: $355,000
This project includes planning, design, and construction of improvements to various pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the City. Project locations vary each year; in Fiscal Year 2024-25, the project will provide the construction of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, curb ramp improvements, and minor civil improvements at Amador Valley Boulevard/Burton Street, Central Parkway/Aspen Street, and Grafton Street/Antone Way. This project will also provide a traffic signal modification to the intersection of Central Parkway/Hibernia Drive as well as curb ramp improvements and other civil improvements at that intersection.

Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2024 and be complete in fall/winter 2024.

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons and signal modification completed with this project will 369

Page 4 of 4 ends

have a useful life of approximately 20 years.
 Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade (CIP No. ST0713) for FY 2024-25 RMRA Funding: $40,000
This project provides for the continued upgrade of the citywide traffic signal communications system, including expansion of the traffic communication network, which will improve traffic signal operations and safety. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, the project will provide for installation of new 144-strand fiber optic cables along Dublin Boulevard between Sierra Court and San Ramon Road and between Hacienda Drive and Tassajara Road. The fiber optic cable will provide higher bandwidth and connect 13 signalized intersections to the traffic management center. The project will also include updating the vehicle detection at the intersections to make ready for adaptive signal control.

The preconstruction phase is anticipated to begin in winter 2024 with construction starting in summer 2025 and is dependent on the relocation of existing infrastructure in the Dublin Arts Center, which is currently under construction. The useful life of improvements varies based on the upgrades and the expansion components, which are expected to have a minimum useful life of approximately 10 years.

In addition to the submittal of a project list, SB 1 also requires the City to submit an annual report to the California Transportation Commission updating the status of projects for which RMRA funds were expended. Dublin’s next expenditure report is due on December 1, 2024.

Agenda Item 5.7
DATE: June 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Grant of Easement to PG&E for Electric Facilities on Dublin Sports Grounds Property
Prepared by: Laurie Sucgang, City Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider granting an easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) over new electrical lines and a transformer serving the new electric vehicle charging stations on the Dublin Sports Grounds property at 6700 Dublin Boulevard, Assessor’s Parcel No. 941-1400- 002-13.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Granting an Easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company for Electric Facilities Purposes Over a Portion of Assessor’s Parcel Number 941-1400-002-13.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund to effectuate the grant of easement. All costs associated with preparing and reviewing the documents, legal description and plat map are charged to the Citywide Energy Improvements Project, CIP No. GI0121, as this easement is required for the installation of one of the items for the project.

DESCRIPTION:

The construction of the new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (five Level 2 EV chargers and two direct current (DC) fast chargers) as a part of the Citywide Energy Improvements Project, CIP No. GI0121, necessitated the installation of new electric service, a transformer, and associated facilities from the existing electrical meter along Dublin Boulevard onto the City-owned Dublin Sports Grounds property. Electric service is provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), who requires an easement over their electric facilities.

Staff recommends granting a new easement to PG&E over the new electric facilities, as depicted in 383

Agenda Item 5.8
DATE: June 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT: Agreements for On-Call Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services with Big O Tires, Dublin Chevrolet, Livermore Auto, European Mobile Werks, Stoneridge Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, and Pro Cycles
Prepared by: Raelyn Miranda, Administrative Aide
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving agreements for on-call vehicle maintenance and repair services for Dublin Police Services.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Approving Agreements for On-Call Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services with Big O Tires, Dublin Chevrolet, Livermore Auto Group, European Mobile Werks, Stoneridge Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, and Pro Cycles.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The cost of these services will be covered by the adopted budget for Dublin Police Services.

DESCRIPTION:

Dublin Police Services has current three-year agreements with the listed vendors providing vehicle maintenance and repair of emergency vehicles on an as-needed basis. These agreements will expire on June 30, 2024.

Based on historical costs and known increases to labor costs, Staff proposes to renew the threeyear agreements with the following vendors and compensation limits:
394

Page 2 of 2 ends

On-Call Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services
Vendor Current Compensation
Limit
Proposed Compensation
Limit
Big O Tires $60,000 $59,000
Dublin Chevrolet $90,000 $100,000
Livermore Auto Group $225,000 $165,000
European Mobile Werks $121,980 $95,000
Stoneridge Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram $90,000 $95,000
Pro Cycles $36,000 $50,000
While these purchases above $45,000 require City Council approval, the City can waive the competitive bidding process per Municipal Code Section 2.36.100 (4): “When a contract or purchase involves goods of a technical nature, where it would be difficult for a vendor to bid on a standard set of specifications, and the Purchasing Agent undertakes a thorough review of known products and a comparison of features which would most closely meet the city’s needs at the lowest cost.” Staff deemed these vendors sole-source providers, as the maintenance and repair of emergency equipment is technical in nature and requires consistency with safety standards.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

None.

NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:

The City Council Agenda was posted.

In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

The Contractor’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Contractor’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Contractor evaluates Liability and determines that the Contractor is not liable to the claimant. The Contractor must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the Contractor fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until 456

In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

The Contractor’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Contractor’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Contractor evaluates Liability and determines that the Contractor is not liable to the claimant. The Contractor must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the Contractor fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until 473

Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Contractor to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.

In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
