Any endorsement shall be provided using one of the following three options: (i) on ISO form CG 20 10 1 1 85; or (ii) on ISO form CG 20 37 10 01 plus either ISO form CG 20 10 10 01 or CG 20 33 10 01; or (iii) on such other forms which provide coverage at least equal to or better than form CG 20 10 1 1 85.

3.Insurance terms and conditions:

3.1 Cancellation of Insurance
The above stated insurance coverages required to be maintained by consultant shall be maintained until the completion of all of Consultant's obligations under this Agreement except as 298
18 Updated 4/20/2021
otherwise indicated herein. Each insurance policy supplied by consultant shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled or reduced in coverage or in limits except after ten (10) days written notice by Consultant in the case of non-payment of premiums, or thirty (30) days written notice in all other cases. This notice requirement does not waive the insurance requirements stated herein.

Consultant shall immediately obtain replacement coverage for any insurance policy that is terminated, canceled, non-renewed, or whose policy limits have been exhausted or upon insolvency of the insurer that issued the policy.

3.2 All insurance shall be issued by a company or companies admitted to do business in California and listed in the current "Best's Key Rating Guide" publication with a minimum rating of A-; VII Any exception to these requirements must be approved by the City/District Risk Manager.

3.3 If Consultant is, or becomes during the term of this Agreement, self-insured or a member of a self-insurance pool, Consultant shall provide coverage equivalent to the insurance coverages and endorsements required above. The City/District will not accept such coverage unless the City/District determines, in its sole discretion and by written acceptance, that the coverage proposed to be provided by Consultant is equivalent to the above-required coverages.

3.4 For any claims related to the Agreement, the Consultant’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City/District, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City/District, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Consultant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

3.5 Insurance coverages in the minimum amounts set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve Consultant for any liability, whether within, outside, or in excess of such coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor shall it preclude the City/District from taking such other actions as are available to it under any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise in law.

3.6 Failure by Consultant to maintain all such insurance in effect at all times required by this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Consultant. City/District, at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement and obtain damages from Consultant resulting from said breach. Alternatively, City/District may purchase such required insurance coverage, and without further notice to Consultant, City/District shall deduct from sums due to Consultant any premiums and associated costs advanced or paid by City/District for such insurance. If the balance of monies obligated to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement are insufficient to reimburse City/District for the premiums and any associated costs, Consultant agrees to reimburse City/District for the premiums and pay for all costs associated with the purchase of said insurance. Any failure by City/District to take this alternative action shall not relieve Consultant of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverages required by this Agreement.

3.7 Should any of the required insurance (other than errors and omissions insurance) be provided under a form of coverage that includes a general annual aggregate limit or provides that claims investigation or legal defenses costs be included in such general aggregate limit, such general annual aggregate limit shall be double the occurrence or claims limit specified above.

3.8 City/District may (but is under no obligation to) secure project-specific insurance, wrap-up insurance, or administer an owner-controlled insurance program ("OCIP"), in which case Consultant and its subconsultants shall communicate this fact to their insurance carriers and request that the risk of this project be excluded from their practice policies. Consultant's fees under this Agreement (and the fee of its subconsultants under subconsultant agreements) shall be reduced by the amount of insurance premiums that may be avoided by consultant and its subconsultants by virtue of the City/District's obtaining the project-specific insurance, wrap-up insurance or administering an OCIP, and the exclusion of this project from coverage of Consultant's and subconsultants policies. Construction Manager and its subconsultants shall afford City/District access to their books and records and cooperate with City/District in verifying the amount of savings realized.

COVID-19 AMENDMENT/ATTACHMENT
(Consulting Agreement Form)
This COVID-19 Amendment/Attachment amends the Agreement between the City of Foster City/Estero Municipal Improvement District hereinafter called "CITY/DISTRICT” and Wilsey Ham, Inc. (“Consultant”) dated July 18, 2022.

1. Definitions
A. The 2019 novel coronavirus and the disease it causes are collectively referred to herein as “COVID-19”.

B. A “COVID-19 Condition” is something attributable to COVID-19 not caused by the Consultant (which for purposes herein includes all subconsultants) and beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to COVID-19 Proclamations and supply chain disruptions due to COVID- 19, and other circumstances concerning COVID-19 not caused by the Consultant and which are beyond its reasonable control.

C. A “COVID-19 Proclamation” includes but is not limited to orders, directives and guidance concerning COVID-19 that have been issued, and which may be issued from time to time, by public agencies or regulatory bodies, the CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, including without limitation the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards. Consultant acknowledges that those orders, directives and guidance may require the Project to shut down or otherwise increase the Consultant’s cost or time of performance by calling for things such as social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment. In the event of conflicting COVID-19 Proclamations, the Consultant shall follow the most applicable, restrictive and newest COVID-19 Proclamations.

D. An “Unknown COVID-19 Condition” is a COVID-19 Condition the Consultant did not know about, and reasonably should not have known about, as of the date the Consultant submitted its proposal. The requirements contained in COVID-19 Proclamations issued before submission of a proposal are not Unknown COVID-19 Conditions, and the Consultant will be deemed to have knowledge of those requirements.

E. An “Unknown COVID-19 Cost” is a cost that: (i) is solely attributable to an Unknown COVID- 19 Condition; (ii) is reasonable under the circumstances; (iii) is not the result of the Consultant’s failure to comply with the contract documents or a COVID-19 Proclamation; and (iv) is not the result of a subconsultants failure to comply with a COVID-19 Proclamation in connection with the performance of the Services.

2. COVID-19 Conditions and Proposal. Consultant is expected to know and is deemed to have known about COVID-19 Conditions when it submits its proposal, and COVID-19 Conditions must be accounted for in the Consultant’s price and schedule. In order to be entitled to any relief from a COVID- 19 Condition, the Consultant must demonstrate that the issue, cost or delay is due to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition.

3. Compliance with COVID-19 Proclamations.

A. Consultant shall comply with COVID-19 Proclamations in the performance of the Services, irrespective of when the COVID-19 Proclamations are issued, and as they pertains to performance of the Services. The cost of such compliance is non-compensable, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.

B. Consultant is responsible to ensure that its subconsultants and suppliers comply with COVID- 19 Proclamations at all times in connection with the performance of their Services.

4. Delay. The Consultant is entitled to a reasonable time extension for an Unknown COVID-19 Condition. Such time extension is non-compensable.

5. City/District Directed Suspension. The City/District may suspend Services due to COVID-19 health concerns, even though the Consultant may be allowed to proceed with the Services based on COVID-19 Proclamations. The City/District may suspend the Services for its convenience. The 303
23 Updated 4/20/2021
Consultant is entitled to a time extension for a City/District Directed Suspension, and the contract amount will be equitably adjusted if and to the extent Consultant incurs increased costs that are Unknown COVID-19 Costs.

6. Compensation for COVID-19 Costs. City/District will reimburse the Consultant for costs attributable to COVID-19, and which are not included in the schedule of values, only if the cost is an Unknown COVID-19 Cost.

7. Safe Work Practices. Consultant shall implement safe work practices recommended by CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, which may include, inter alia, screening all employees, subconsultants, or others (“worker(s)”) at all locations where Services are performed for signs and symptoms of COVID-19; adopting staggered work schedules, e.g., providing alternating workdays or extra shifts, to reduce the total number of employees on a site at any given time and to ensure physical distancing; identifying choke points where workers are forced to stand together, such as hallways and elevators, ingress and egress points, break areas, and buses, and implement policies to maintain social distancing; coordinating deliveries in line with the employer's minimal contact and cleaning protocols; and instituting a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels at all exterior locations. Consultant remains fully responsible for following and complying with changes to recommended safe work practices from time to time.

8. Monitoring and Reporting. City/District may require the Consultant to actively monitor the health of its workers through temperature checks and questionnaires of major COVID-19 symptoms, including but not limited to cough, fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and shortness of breath. Consultant shall immediately report to City/District any outbreaks of COVID-19 among its workers. The Consultant shall not knowingly allow any worker who has tested positive with COVID-19 to enter a City/District building.

In the event of an outbreak or an exposure to COVID-19, the City/District may impose appropriate mitigation strategies which may be in consultation with the public health officer.

9. Conflicts. In the event of an inconsistency between this COVID-19 Amendment and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City/District and Consultant have executed this Covid-19 Amendment as of the date set forth above.

SUBJECT: EXTENDING THE PROCLAMATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF A

LOCAL EMERGENCY, THE CONTINUING NEED FOR CITY

COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION AND COMMITTEES

TO MEET BY TELECONFERENCE FOR INCREASED

ACCESSIBILITY, AND A GENERAL UPDATE ON THE NOVEL
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors adopt the attached resolutions extending the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency caused by the threat of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), and proclaiming the continuing need for City Council/EMID Board of Directors, Planning Commission, and Committees to meet by teleconference and allow for increased meeting accessibility via in person and teleconference meeting participation (Attachments 1 and 2).

The general update is informational only and no further action is required.

BACKGROUND

On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the outbreak of respiratory illness due to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). On March 5, 2020, San Mateo County declared a Local Health 374
Emergency pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 101080 due to the introduction of COVID-19 in San Mateo County. On March 16, 2020, the County of San Mateo Public Health Officer issued an order to "shelter in place", effective March 17, 2020 at 12:01 am. This order, amongst other things, ceased non-essential activities in the County in an effort to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19. Essential City operations like police, fire, and wastewater treatment services, as well as the maintenance of critical infrastructure, are continuing to be provided. Most other City services have returned to pre-pandemic levels or have been reasonably modified (for a limited basis) in conjunction with the Health Officer’s order or to administer City operations.

The City Manager, acting as the City’s Director of Emergency Services, was authorized to make and issue rules and regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such emergency. As a result, on March 16, 2020, the City Manager acting as Director of Emergency Services proclaimed the existence of a local emergency due to conditions and threatened conditions of peril due to the expansion of the COVID-19 virus. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8630, the City Council ratified the proclamation made by the Director of Emergency services on March 18, 2020 per Resolution No. 2020-23, within the required seven (7) days of the proclamation.

Local Emergency

Since the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency back in March, the City Council has continued to receive updates at its meetings on the operational impacts and actions taken by the City related to COVID-19. The City Council had also received an overview of the City's recovery plan at its Vision & Policy Summit on June 4, 2020 and a presentation from the County of San Mateo on its Recovery Initiative on October 5, 2020. On October 6, 2020, the County Board of Supervisors accepted the final report on the SMC Recovery Initiative, which outlines a path toward a more equitable, healthy and connected community in the recovery from COVID-19.

To-date, the City Council had approved the continuation of the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency at its meetings on April 6, June 1, July 20, September 8, November 2, 2020, January 4, March 1, May 17, July 19, September 20, November 15, December 13, 2021, January 18, February 22, March 21, April 18, May 16, and June 20, 2022. Per Government Code Section 8630, the City Council must reevaluate whether to continue the 375
proclamation of the existence of a local emergency every sixty (60) days until the emergency is terminated. Given the conditions creating the local emergency have not entirely abated, one of the items for City Council consideration is to extend the proclamation.

Continuing In-Person/Teleconference Hybrid Meetings

Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361) was signed into law by the Governor on September 16, 2021. AB 361 comes as the provisions of Executive Order No.

N-29-20 (as revised by Executive Order No. N-08-21), which modifies the requirements for conducting meetings via teleconference during the COVID- 19 pandemic, expired on September 30, 2021. While the intent of Executive Order No. N-29-20 and AB 361 are both to facilitate public access to meetings via teleconferencing options, there are differences between the two. AB 361 amends the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue using teleconferencing and virtual meeting technology after the September 30, 2021 expiration of the current Brown Act exemptions as long as there is a “proclaimed state of emergency” by the Governor and certain findings are made regarding the need to conduct teleconferenced meetings.

On October 18, 2021, the City Council/Board of Directors approved resolutions to implement and utilize teleconference accessibility to conduct public meetings, pursuant to AB 361. Findings must be made every thirty (30) days to continue to the practice of such. By approving the resolutions attached, the City Council/EMID Board, Planning Commission, and Committees may continue to conduct meetings as they have been without interruption, allowing for increased accessibility to the public and meeting participants to join in person or via teleconference, as applicable. Approving the resolutions under AB 361 would also allow the continued flexibility that was provided by Executive Order No. N-29-20 to allow
Councilmembers/EMID Board Members or Planning Commissioners and other Committee Members to attend the meeting via teleconference without following the normal teleconference requirements under the Brown Act, which include listing the teleconference location on the published agenda and posting the agenda at the site of the teleconference. If circumstances change and it is determined that safety concerns prohibit in-person meeting participation entirely, members may pivot to teleconferencing only without the preparation that is otherwise required under the Brown Act, while maintaining accessible public meetings.
376
Timeline

A summarized timeline of the various directives and orders as it pertains to the County of San Mateo, from the start of the pandemic to-date, is outlined in Attachment 3. At the outset of the pandemic, health orders were frequently changing in response to the varying COVID-19 case/transmission rates. City staff has since then provided updates to City Council at its regular meetings to keep both the City Council and the community abreast of any new developments on COVID-19 that may arise. The frequency of these updates transitioned to a monthly basis on March 2020. In alignment with the State's reopening, as well as the County of San Mateo ceasing its biweekly briefings, these updates are provided (for informational purposes only) on an as needed basis or every thirty (30) days when the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency is brought brought back to City Council for renewal (until no longer necessary) in conjunction with the findings of continuing the need to conduct teleconferenced meetings until no longer applicable. Timely updates and information will continue to be issued and available through the County of San Mateo directly, or on the City website and via the weekly e-Newsletter.

Latest Updates
San Mateo County has moved from the Medium/Yellow to the High/Red COVID-19 Community Level category per the CDC's June 30 update. The change in category is due to increased hospitalizations in San Mateo and San Francisco counties and a greater demand on local health care systems. The CDC recommends that residents wear high quality masks (N95/KN95) indoors in public and on public transportation.

The San Mateo County Health Chief is encouraging residents to take the following key actions to "LIMITT" COVID:
 Limit large gatherings to well-ventilated areas or outdoors.  Improve ventilation.
 Mask. Respirator masks (N95) provide better protection than cloth masks.
 Isolate for COVID. Stay home if you feel sick.
 Test if you have symptoms.
 Treatments are available if you test positive.

LHI/Optum Serve has been contracted by the State of California and is 377
offering Test to Treat sites in San Mateo County, where individuals can be tested for COVID-19 and, if positive, assessed for oral medications to be dispensed at the site. Test to Treat facilities are available in San Mateo, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, Daly City, and South San Francisco. More information on Test to Treat options can be found at: https://www.smcgov.org/covid-19- testing.

Vaccinations and first and second booster shots are still available throughout San Mateo County, at County-sponsored clinics, community clinics, private health care providers, pharmacies and other venues. To find a clinic, please visit https://www.smchealth.org/vaccine-clinic-calendar. Appointments are not required, though strongly encouraged, as only a limited number of participants without appointments may be vaccinated. Appointments can be made at https://myturn.ca.gov or by calling the CA COVID-19 Hotline at 1- 833-422-4255.

Adults 50 years and older and people ages 12 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised are now eligible for a second COVID-19 booster, four months after their first booster. Those eligible for a second booster may book an appointment through the state's MyTurn system.

The County Health's community clinics will provide boosters for walk-ins, though appointments are recommended to avoid long waits.

Vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna have been approved for children aged 6 months to 4 years old. The CDC recommends everyone ages 6 months and older get vaccinated against COVID-19. San Mateo County will not offer large-scale vaccine clinics to children under age 5 and recommends young children receive the vaccines in the care of a pediatric provider. However, the County will provide small-scale vaccine clinics at Early Head Start sites.

Families seeking vaccines for children under age 5 should contact their pediatric care provider to schedule an appointment. Information is also available on MyTurn.

As of July 4, 2022, a total of 706,982 individuals have been vaccinated in San Mateo County with at least one dose, representing over 95% of the population age 5+. 89% of the population age 5+ have completed the vaccination series.

Vaccination data is not yet available on the population under age 5.

ANALYSIS

With the disruption in normal operations due to COVID-19 and the Public 378
Health Order to “Shelter in Place”, City operations were implemented based on essential functions identified in the City's Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) Plan.

In the City's response to COVID-19, the main objective is to keep the community safe, reduce the risk of transmission, and help slow the spread of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Outlined in the COVID-19 Response Plan Summary are six broad priority areas in which the City has focused its efforts to-date (Attachment 4).

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the resolutions.

CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREAS

This item is in alignment to the "City Council Operations and Improved Community Engagement," "Public Safety and Social Equity," and "Staff Empowerment and Operational Excellence" Value/Priority Areas. The City recognizes the importance of reliable and timely communications to public, and as such, will continue to ensure delivery of information for all matters related to City services and COVID-19 response and recovery are shared.

Increasing accessibility to public meetings amid the COVID-19 crisis encourages the public to engage with the City Council/EMID Board of Directors, Planning Commission, and Committees in an equitable and safe manner.

WHEREAS, the recently amended Ralph M. Brown Act allows local legislative bodies to continue meeting by teleconference during a gubernatorial proclaimed state of emergency if the local legislative body determines, by majority vote, that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees (California Government Code section 54953(e)(1)(B)); and WHEREAS, on October 18, 2021 the City Council adopted City Resolution No. 2021-155 proclaiming the continuing need for the City Council, Planning Commission and Committees to meet by teleconference and allowing for increased meeting accessibility via in person and teleconference meeting participation; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Foster City:

measures in response to COVID-19 as ordered or recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), California Department of Public Health (DPH), and/or County of San Mateo, as applicable, including facial coverings when required. Based upon that guidance, in-person attendance indoors at public meetings continues to present a health risk for certain segments of the population, necessitating the need to reduce the number of in-person meeting attendees.

6. The City Council hereby declares that, pursuant to the findings listed in this Resolution, that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors and the City Council/EMID Board appointed Commissions and Committees are authorized to utilize teleconferencing to conduct public meetings pursuant to AB 361 and Government Code § 54953, as amended thereby.
