Dawn Marple has been the assigned City Planner since 2016. Soo Ho Park has been the assigned City Engineer since 2023. In addition, City projects are supported by numerous P&P staff including inspectors, surveyors, planners, engineers, and others.
As identified in the March 5, 2024 City Council item “Receive and File an Update on Capital Projects,” the are numerous high-priority infrastructure projects underway and P&P’s engagement in these projects has been critical to their success and essential to maintain the aggressive timelines. In addition, P&P has also been instrumental in securing millions of dollars in grant funding including the Well 9 project, Merced streetscape project, water system interconnection project, bike, pedestrian, and trails master plan, and others.
On-call planning services provide city planning and development functions such as predevelopment consulting, entitlement processing, preparation of environmental documents, plan check, and inspections. This first amendment to the on-call planning services agreement in the amount of $200,000 brings the total contract amount to $400,000, and it also extends the term of the agreement from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
45 Section 7, Item F.
On-call engineering services include pre-development consulting, plan check, inspections, review of maps, approval of traffic control plans, oversight of City capital projects and developer construction of City improvements, and oversight of the City’s special assessment process. This third amendment to the on-call engineering services agreement in the amount of $220,000 brings the total contract amount to $490,000.
PUBLIC NOTICE

These expenses can vary from year-to-year based on the level of private sector development, the number of grant-funded projects and grant applications underway, and construction activity occurring in the City. Additionally, many of these costs are offset by developer fees for services and grant reimbursements. As these awards are over $50,000, they are being brought for City Council consideration, per the City’s Purchasing Policy.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

13. [Reserved]
14. Conflicts of Interest.

4 c. Compensation to Consultant Upon Termination. Consultant shall be paid compensation for Services satisfactorily performed prior to service of the written notice of termination.

However, in no event shall such payment when added to any other payment due under the applicable part of the work exceed the total compensation of such part as specified Section 4. In the event of termination due to Consultant’s failure to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of City, City may withhold an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to City's damages caused by such failure. d.

Consultant may not refuse to provide such Work Product for any reason whatsoever. e. Non-Appropriation; Lack of Available Funds. The parties acknowledge that the Services to be performed under this Agreement are expected to extend beyond the City’s budgeted fiscal year. If, during the term of this Agreement, or any renewal term, as applicable, the City budget does not appropriate sufficient funds for this Agreement, then City may elect to terminate this Agreement, at its sole discretion, by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice of termination to Consultant. Upon termination of the Agreement under this section, the City shall have no further liability to pay any funds to the Consultant or to furnish any other consideration under this Agreement, and the Consultant shall not be obligated to perform any provisions of this Agreement or to provide services intended to be funded pursuant to this Agreement. If partial funds are appropriated or provided, the City shall have the option to either terminate this Agreement with no liability to the City or offer an amendment to the Consultant to reflect the reduced amount. The City represents and warrants that (i) as of the Effective Date, it has appropriated the funds for this Agreement for the current fiscal year and (ii) it shall not use the foregoing right to terminate for non-appropriation as a means to terminate for convenience.

g. Indemnity and Defense. Except as otherwise expressly provided, the insurance requirements in this section shall not in any way limit, in either scope or amount, the indemnity and defense obligations separately owed by Consultant to City under this Agreement.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: April 16, 2024
FROM: SOO HO PARK, City Engineer
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE a Letter Addendum for 2023 Water Rate Study Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To align with the Prop 218 notices that were correctly noticed, the attached letter addendum corrects the first fiscal year of the rate increase to be associated with FY24/25 in the 2023 Water Rate Study Report.
BACKGROUND
The 2023 Water Rate Study Report (“Report”) was finalized by DTA on January 29, 2024, and presented to the City Council on March 5, 2024. During public meetings leading up to the approval, the City Council and the public were presented rate comparisons between the current rate in effect and the proposed first year of rate increases presented in the Report (FY 23/24).
Because the proposed rates were not approved to take effect beginning last year, the proposed 5-year rate schedule in the Report should have been updated to reflect the first year beginning with FY 24/25 on July 1, 2024. The public hearing notices required by Proposition 218 and related implementing legislation reflect the accurate proposed 5-year rate schedule as follows:

SUBJECT: Letter Addendum to the 2023 Water Rate Study Report As you know, DTA began work on the 2023 Water Rate Study Report (“Report”) in early 2023 utilizing water consumption data and water system operational data from the 2022 water year. The proposed water rate schedule originally prepared in the Report reflected a 5-year rate schedule going into effect beginning with fiscal year 23/24 on July 1, 2023. However, as a result of feedback from the City Council during presentations of the draft Report at City Council meetings in 2023, the proposed rate structure was revised to satisfy the City Council’s desire to deliver the most equitable rates for all water users in the City.
The final Report was completed by DTA on January 29, 2024, and presented to the City Council on March 5, 2024. During public meetings leading up to the approval, the City Council and the public were presented rate comparisons between the current rate in effect and the proposed first year of rate increases presented in the Report (FY 23/24). Because the proposed rates were not approved to take effect beginning last year, the proposed 5-year rate schedule in the Report should have been updated to reflect the first year beginning with FY 24/25 on July 1, 2024. The public hearing notices required by Proposition 218 and related implementing legislation reflect the accurate proposed 5-year rate schedule as follows:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: April 16, 2024
FROM: DAWN E. MARPLE, City Planner
SUBJECT: PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION to initiate a General Plan Amendment pertaining to the Economic Development Focus Area
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Fowler 2040 General Plan (General Plan) contains an Economic Development Focus Area (EDFA), roughly centered around Adams and Clovis Avenues. The General Plan directs staff, within one year of adoption, to consider alternative land uses.
BACKGROUND
On April 18, 2023, the Fowler City Council adopted the General Plan, setting land use designations and policies in order to serve the growth of the City through the year 2040. In developing land uses, an EDFA was established (Attachment 1). The intent of the EDFA is to foster an area of the City where commercial and industrial uses would be concentrated and where new businesses would create jobs for the residents of the City.
Recently, staff have been approached by property owners within portions of the EDFA. The property owners have conducted preliminary investigations regarding a potential project that would require amendment to the land uses within the EDFA and beyond.
Staff will study alternative land uses, consult with property owners, evaluate General Plan Environmental Impact Report implications, and present recommendations at subsequent Planning Commission and City Council meetings.
PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. 73 Section 9, Item 9A.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This action is consistent with the following General Plan policies and action items:
General Plan Policy ED-3
Pursue a program of tax base expansion to include both industrial and market area commercial uses, particularly within the identified Economic Development Focus Area (EDFA) as shown in Figure 10-1.
General Plan Action Item ED-3a
One year following adoption of the General Plan, consider alternative land uses within the EDFA that would be compatible with and facilitate current market trends, contribute to Fowler’s tax base, and support Fowler’s Economic Development Strategy. Additional areas may be considered based on conditions at the time of evaluation.
FISCAL IMPACT AND PROCUREMENT PROCESS
Proceeding with a General Plan Amendment will result in staff time utilization. However, it will be potentially offset by future economic development activities.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOWLER
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: April 16, 2024
FROM: MICHAEL REID, Police Chief
SUBJECT: APPROVE an agreement in an amount not to exceed $855,545.00 with the Vanir Company to provide construction management and project management for the David T. Cardenas Senior Center and Police Headquarters; authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of this item will allow the City of Fowler to enter into a professional services agreement with an experienced construction management firm as an owner’s representative to ensure that timelines are met, and that cost efficiencies and value engineering is provided for the David T.
Cardenas Senior Center and Police Headquarters project.
BACKGROUND
The City solicited a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for firms to provide construction management and project management for the David T. Cardenas Senior Center and Police Headquarters. The RFQ was posted on the PlanetBids online portal. Several firms engaged and expressed interest and ultimately one RFQ response was submitted by Vanir. Staff conducted an interview, made a site visit of recent public safety centers completed by Vanir, and has initiated follow-up negotiations. Based on past performance and experience with similar projects, staff determined Vanir to be experienced and well-qualified to perform the scope of work.
PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an agency must complete environmental review prior to committing itself to a definite course of action in regard to a proposed project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15352). Environmental review must occur as early as feasible in the planning process to enable environmental considerations to influence project program and design, yet late enough to provide meaningful information for environmental assessment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15004(b)).
76 Section 9, Item 9C.
At this time, the City Council is not taking any action that would constitute approval of a Project.
The City Council retains full discretion either to approve or disapprove the project. The appropriation of funds for further study is therefore exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15262 (feasibility and planning studies for possible future actions that have not been approved, adopted, or funded), as well as the general rule that CEQA only applies to “projects” that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)).
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Goal CDES-1
Through community design, Fowler fosters and reinforces the City’s unique sense of place.
Goal CDES-3
Downtown Fowler is preserved and enhanced as the primary cultural and civic core of the community.
Policy CDES-10
Improvements to older buildings in the downtown area and throughout the City should enhance rather than weaken the original character of such buildings.
Policy CH-2
Promote walking and bicycling and reduce vehicle miles traveled by allowing complementary land uses in close proximity to one another.
Goal OS-3
Recreational programming and facilities meet the needs of community members of all ages and abilities.
Policy OS-16
Ensure that community centers provide sufficient space to conduct civic meetings, recreational programs, and social activities to meet the needs of residents. The City should aim to meet the standard of one meeting room per 7,500 residents. Community centers should serve the needs of seniors; families with children; and teens. Locate a new Community Center within or adjacent to parks or downtown.
Goal PF-1
Fowler provides reliable public facilities, utilities, and community services that meet the needs of the existing community and planned growth. PP Goal PF-2 Fowler maintains and manages the orderly and efficient expansion of public facilities, utilities, and community services.
Policy PF-8
Provide City departments with adequate office and building space for employee workspace and equipment storage.
77 Section 9, Item 9C.
FISCAL IMPACT AND PROCUREMENT PROCESS
A line item for this scope of work will be included in the fiscal year 2024/25 proposed budget.
The overall project is being funded through a number or revenue sources including Measure N, development impact fees, and State funding secured by Assemblymember Dr. Joaquin Arambula.
This RFQ process was conducted consistent with the City’s Purchasing Policy.

Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 18 The new co-located facility will provide the Fowler Police Department with expanded, purpose-built headquarters while also delivering a state-of-the-art Senior Center with improved amenities like an upgraded kitchen and better accessibility for seniors. The project site will involve demolition of the current Edwin Blaney Senior Center building and decommissioned Fowler Hospital to clear the land for the new construction.
Named after Fowler’s late Mayor David T. Cardenas who passed away in 2023, this legacy project is seen as a vital investment in enhancing public safety services and supporting Fowler’s senior community well into the future.
Key Issues
Based on our review of the RFP and todays circumstances, key issues could emerge:
Budget. The cost and the on-time completion of a project, particularly in the public sector, is the most visible component of the project. For a successful project, budget and schedule compliance is a necessity. Our staff will work closely with the City to develop complete and accurate budgets and schedules to assure an on-time, within budget completion.
Inflation Impacts on Budget. With continued high inflation in 2024 project budget may be strained by rising materials and labor costs. Analyze value engineering options early in case budget adjustments are needed.
Utilize our firm’s continuously updated cost database of recent local projects.
Coordination. Daily management of the Contractor, construction documents, reports, etc will be an ongoing task that requires a level of expertise to know and understand foresight and anticipating what is coming ahead of potential conflicts and delays.
Supply Chain Constraints. There may be potential electrical switch gear delays. To address this we would identify long lead procurement. Implement electrical procurement tracking logs and explore offsite prefabrication. We would potentially pay an expedited fee to encourage an on-time delivery.
Community Sensitivities. As a legacy project named after the late Mayor Cardenas, there may be heightened community interests and sensitivities to be deftly managed throughout construction to honor his vision.
Approach & Methodology
Our methodology approach is utilizing the Critical Path Method (CPM) approach, combined with the waterfall approach. By utilizing a combination of these approaches, it enhances project control, consistency, but at the same time allows us to focus on project completion and avoid unforeseen delays.
Our promise is to exceed your expectations - We approach each project differently, with your goals and objectives in mind. We assemble our teams based on an optimum combination of expertise, innovation and cultural fit for you and the project. Our project team’s approach to client services is based on the four principles that are Vanir’s cornerstone for project delivery: Communication, Collaboration, Anticipation, Representation, and Lessons Learned.
Our approach is built around providing the City of Fowler with the technical knowledge, information, and leadership required to deliver the new David T. Cardenas Senior Center and Police Headquarters and exceed your expectations. The goal of construction and project management is to establish systems, procedures and protocols to ensure that the overall project runs smoothly and in accordance with predetermined guidelines.
At the project level, there are specific actions required at each phase of the project. These are outlined as follows.
103
Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 19 Pre-construction Phase
Kick Off Meeting. We will meet with appropriate stakeholders as soon as selected to fully understand your expectations. Topics for the kick-off meeting include:
• Review of project scope
• Review of budget requirements and constraints
• Review of schedule drivers
• Key points of contact
• Communications protocols
• Project success factors
Project success factors are your direction of what is most important on the project and how they are prioritized.
This understanding helps with decision making and direction as the project moves forward.
The City’s level of involvement will be extremely critical and necessary at the onset of our services and will gradually decrease to a steady weekly meeting with the key stakeholders during construction.
Project Management Plan. To understand the roles, responsibilities, and processes of the work, Vanir begins each project by developing a Project Management Plan (PMP). The PMP provides the project delivery team with a set of guidelines and an itinerary with which to implement the design and construction of the Senior Center and Police Headquarters. It is the initial framework for establishing lines of communication and methods of document control to be implemented to achieve the goals and objectives of the project. This is a living document and will be updated continuously throughout the project. The PMP includes:
01 Collaborative, team-based approach
We are successful at bringing diverse groups of stakeholders together and identifying common goals and objectives in a transparent, collaborative approach. Expect us to lead community forums and foster trust through open and honest communications.
Communication
Understanding the many stakeholders, both internal and external, and their communication styles is fundamental to working in an integrated team. We will create and use a communication plan and collaboration guide. Detailed, reliable information is communicated timely and accurately so the best decisions can be made.
Representation
We serve as an extension of your team, representing the best interests of the District always. At every step of managing the program, we will build and maintain strong partnerships with the stakeholders, working to represent, communicate, and promote the best interests of the District at all times. 05 Lessons Learned
We draw upon lessons learned from the many similar bond programs we have managed over the years. We are committed to always raising concerns for issues that have risen before and making recommendations based on solid data and past experiences to continually improve.
Anticipation
Our philosophy is to always look ahead. That’s not always easy as a team gets busy and begins to focus on details. We use our program management tools to keep things on track, to pinpoint opportunities, and to work aggressively to achieve your goals.

Master Schedule Development. At the very beginning of the project, we will develop a master schedule showing all the summary tasks that are required during the life of the project. This master schedule becomes the major reporting vehicle throughout the life of the project. Detailed task information is added during the various stages of design, construction documents and construction. Progress of each phase and its activities are monitored continually and reported regularly to the project team.
The master schedule will include:
• Project planning and design schedules, including necessary City reviews, approvals, permitting and authorization milestones.
• City plan reviews, both during the course of the design and at the completion of contract documents. • Procurement schedules, move-in procedures and dates.
• Bid and award schedules, including pre-bid meetings, bid dates and award dates. • Preliminary construction schedules for each project indicating critical construction milestones.
Develop Scope of Work. Vanir begins by understanding the goals and expectations of the City. We bring best practices, systems, policies, and procedures and adjust or format them to fit the culture and expectations for you. Our culture is to work collaboratively with our clients and their consultants and contractors to support them in achieving their goals. We will partner with you to ensure that planning, design, procurement, construction, safety, and commissioning are well thought-out, executed, and achieved.
Procuring Consultants. The project will require hiring a number of consultants. Vanir is experienced in developing Request for Qualifications (RFQs), Request for Proposals (RFPs), and Evaluation Criteria, as well as for geotechnical and materials testing firms, and other services that will be needed throughout the course of the Project. We coordinate the selection procedures within the City’s policies and procedures so that each consultant or contractor is selected consistently. We will develop Requests for Proposals that are specific to the needs of the City. This customization reduces the cost of the typical, boilerplate proposal while making sure that the project receives the quality service required. 105
Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 21 Design Phase
Bid Alternatives. Since the construction market is ever changing and revenue resources are limited, the necessity of developing bid alternates for flexibility in contract award is even more important. Vanir will work with the project team to identify several items that can be deleted or postponed from the project construction and identify them as deductive alternates to implement if the final bids come in above the budgeted amounts.
Ideally, these items can be added back into the project during construction if funds become available from contingency or other project bid savings or can be added into the completed facility in future years after its initial occupancy.
Similarly, Vanir will work with the project team to identify several items that can be added into the construction contract that the estimates and VE studies did not indicate would be allowed within the project budget. These items will be identified as additive alternates, that can be implemented if the final bids come in below the estimated contract amounts.
Accurate Cost Estimates Ensure Budget Compliance. Staying within your budget is essential for the project to be successful. Our estimators know current industry costs, and how to develop accurate estimates from the earliest conceptual estimates to detailed quantity-based construction estimates.
Our estimating services start from the earliest possible point in a project to maximize the value of every dollar spent. Our estimating will: 1) review project scope, 2) create a definitive and realistic cost model, 3) develop design phase estimates to help control scope “creep,” 4) consider life cycle costs, and 5) monitor construction phase costs. This is the basis for complete cost control of the project.
Validate Cost Compliance at Key Milestones. Effective cost management begins with the establishment of a realistic budget. Vanir will prepare cost estimates to confirm the design is in line with budget requirements and will recommend changes should they be required to maintain budget. These cost estimates occur at the completion of the following phases of design:
• 100% Schematic Design Documents (Full Estimate)
• 100% CD’s (Full Estimate)
Vanir will help lead estimate reconciliation meetings. Throughout the entire design process, Vanir will be focused on Value Engineering the design. We will be continuously evaluating the impact of the decisions being made by the project team from a cost perspective. This will include not only looking at initial cost but evaluating the overall lifecycle cost. At any time during the design, specific cost estimates can be prepared to evaluate the cost impact of pending decisions, thereby maintaining confidence that the project will bid at or under budget. This is a formal step to ensure compliance with the contract, avoid surprises, and requests for change orders during construction.
Meetings. Regular project meetings held throughout the design and construction of the project are the backbone of good project communication and are held at all decision-making levels to address project related issues. The following is a list of the types of meetings that will occur throughout the course of the Design Phase:
• Design Review Meetings
• Estimate and Scope Reconciliation Meetings
• Pre-construction Meeting
• Weekly OAC Meetings
• Fixtures, Furniture & Equipment Meetings
106
Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 22 Effective Community Relations Plan. The project is a significant construction project for the City. It will be an even greater success with broad-based community involvement and support. Our team is very experienced at working within a political environment and facilitating community involvement. We can assist the City in developing a plan that will keep the Project Team and all of the community informed throughout the entire progress of the project and build effective community understanding and confidence in the management and effectiveness of the project.
Construction is not a clean and neat process. It always has some impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
Vanir’s Project and Construction Manager will work closely with the City to identify any groups affected by the construction project across the City. Together, we will identify issues and priorities that need to be addressed during the planning, design, construction, and operating phases.
Bid and Award Phase
Receiving competitive, complete, and responsive bids is a fundamental requirement for a successful project.
At no time during the entire process, from pre-design through occupancy, is our ability as project managers as graphically demonstrated as during the bidding process. Receiving bids from responsible and reliable contractors at a price within the budget is a necessity. While it is true that the underlying work to achieve this objective must be accomplished prior to the bid phase, we can make a difference in getting the best bids for you by our efforts during the bid process.
Bid Solicitation. In conjunction with the City, we will conduct a pre-bid solicitation effort to make contractors and sub-contractors aware of the project and confirm this project on their bid schedules. It has been proven that the competitiveness of a bid effort is directly proportional to the number of participating in the effort. Vanir will work to achieve maximum bid coverage at all levels.
Bid Process Administration. Vanir’s project manager will be responsible for the administration of the bidding process including bid solicitation, advertising, document control, issuance of addenda, pre-bid conference, and assisting the City in the opening and evaluation of bids. Our project manager will work closely with the City in the event of a bid protest.
Pre-bid Conferences. These conferences are a forum for the project team to impart to the bidders all the project parameters with emphasis on the unique features and requirements of the project. These parameters normally include information concerning schedule requirements, time/cost control requirements, access and staging requirements, management and administrative requirements, and technical information on the project.
Bid Opening and Evaluation. All bids will be carefully evaluated for completeness, full responsiveness, and price. We will make a formal recommendation to the City, in writing, regarding award of the contract.
Blind Bid Process. (OPTIONAL SERVICE) Assist the City in performing the “Blind Bid” process when opening the project bids. Using the Blind Bid Process, the contracts will be awarded to the lowest responsive responsible Bidder based on any combination of Base Bid and Alternates as determined by the City. All awards will be made in the City’s best interest.
Construction Phase
Vanir’s Construction Manager will be responsible for construction management and will establish and implement the required procedures between the City, the architect, and the contractor. Success during the construction phase depends on the establishment and implementation of proper project controls systems along with the establishment of positive working relationships. Vanir will strive to establish trust among all team members and to keep their focus on the overall success of this project. With the participation and approval of the City, Vanir will complete the following tasks:
107
Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 23 Document Control Procedures. Vanir will establish and maintain the formal process for submission and tracking of project documents including correspondence, submittals, request for information (RFI’s), architects supplemental instructions (ASI’s), proposed change orders, change orders, payment requests, schedule updates, and all other contractually required documents.
Jobsite Meetings. Our construction manager in conjunction with the City will conduct regular jobsite progress meetings with the contractor and major subcontractors to identify and resolve issues that may impact the progress of the project. We will record, transcribe, and distribute minutes to all attendees, the City, and all other appropriate parties.
Quality Assurance. Vanir will work with the City to develop a quality assurance plan for the construction of the project. This plan will define the technical inspection and testing requirements provided by third parties.
Establish an inspection request form and procedures to document all essential inspections, material tests, and special inspections. All technical inspection reports will be in a format approved by Vanir and will be received and distributed by Vanir on a regular basis to ensure coordination between all necessary parties.
Construction Observation. (NOT Inspection – Inspection to be provided by the City) Our construction manager will observe the construction effort for the City on a daily basis and report any deviations, defects, or deficiencies that are observed in the work. We will work with the contractor and the architect in the timely resolution of identified issues to minimize time and cost impacts.
Construction Progress Review. Monthly, we will review the progress of construction with the contractor, observe work in place, identify properly stored materials, and evaluate the percentage complete of each construction activity as indicated in the construction schedule. This will serve as data for input to the monthly update report which will be prepared and distributed to all appropriate parties. This report will reflect the contractor’s contractual progress and will be the basis for the monthly progress payment to the contractor.
Monthly Construction Schedule Updates. Vanir will prepare and distribute monthly construction schedule updates. After an evaluation of the actual progress as observed by Vanir, schedule activities will then be assigned percentage complete values in conjunction with the contractor’s progress. A report will be generated to reflect actual progress as compared to schedule progress noting variances. This report will also be the basis for determining implementation of certain City prerogatives concerning progress of the project should they be required.
Monthly Construction Payment Reports. Vanir will prepare and distribute the monthly construction payment reports which will be an integral function of the monthly schedule report. This report will reflect the total construction contract price, contractor’s payment to date, current payment requested, retainage, and actual amounts owed for the current period. The final portion of this report will be a certificate of payment which will be executed by Vanir, the architect, and the contractor and then transmitted to the City for use in payment to the contractors.
Change Order Processing System. Vanir will establish and implement a change order processing system.
All owner requested changes will first be set forth in a document from the architect outlining in detail the change and accompanied by technical drawings and specifications, if necessary. A request for proposal will be transmitted to the contractor by Vanir and a detailed breakdown of cost and time will be prepared by both the contractor and Vanir prior to negotiation of the change order. Vanir will evaluate the contractor’s proposed cost and will make a formal recommendation regarding acceptance of the proposal for a change order.
Negotiation of Change Order Costs and Time Extensions. Vanir, in conjunction with the City, will negotiate change order costs and time extensions on behalf of the City. Vanir will advise the City of acceptability of price and time extension prior to the execution of any change order. 108
Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 24 Claims Avoidance. Claims avoidance has the highest priority at Vanir, and we are proud of our record of performance in this area. Honest parties can have reasonable, justifiable disagreements over construction claims issues and still resolve these matters by maintaining a professional demeanor. Our team believes that disputes should be resolved at the earliest possible time and that they should be resolved fairly. When disputes do arise, our approach is to research the facts around the issue thoroughly, bring all parties involved to the table, discuss the matter, and reach resolution. In our efforts to bring amicable resolution to disputes, we have used several alternative dispute resolution procedures such as Dispute Resolution Boards and Mediation.
Complete Closeout Processes
Closeout starts at the commencement of the construction phase with a closeout matrix Vanir develops to ensure the contractor is informed as to what and when the closeout items are required to be submitted. Vanir will review the closeout matrix at weekly construction meetings and identify task responsibilities. The following are the items we will deliver to the City:
Occupancy Plan. Prepare an occupancy plan that will include a schedule indicating critical interfaces for the movement of furniture, new furniture, and equipment.
Instruction Manuals & Training. Prior to the conclusion of construction, we will work with the contractor and subcontractors to obtain all written material such as operations and maintenance manuals, warranties, and guarantees for all equipment installed in the project. These will be transmitted to the appropriate City staff for review prior to scheduling operations and maintenance training.
Record Documents. Vanir will perform coordination and expediting functions in connection with the contractor’s obligation to provide “record” documents. Although the transmittal of final record documents takes place at the end of the project, it is imperative that this activity be monitored from the beginning of construction to assure accurate documents are available. Ensure transfer of record documents to the City including O&M manuals.
Systems Training. Training will be incorporated into the contract documents for maintenance operations and custody staff. We will assist in the coordination of training for the opening of a new institution.
Final Completion. Upon completion of all punch list corrective action, Vanir will make a final comprehensive review of the project and issue a report to the City indicating the work performed is acceptable under the contract and make recommendations as to final payment to the contractor and acceptance of the facility.
Warranty Plan. Initiate a system that identifies all warranty items that are expressed or implied from contractors, manufacturers, or suppliers for work performed and materials furnished.
A. Project Controls
Methods, including controls by which your firm manages projects of the type sought by this RFQ.
The ability to provide real time status, manage project data, forecast based on aggregate trends, and report on project health, including Key Performance Indices (KPIs) is of the utmost importance to any program or project.
Having designed and implemented effective control systems and processes for several clients nationwide, Vanir is in the position to share our extensive understanding of project controls, including:
Document Controls and Reporting. At Vanir, we work with our clients to determine how a controls system will be used, define the intended results, identify any configuration limitations and understand owner/user needs and wants. We will help develop a controls system that provides guidance and reinforces the project processes to capture accurate data. Given the choice, Vanir always strives to use the best technology in the market – while also ensuring the best value for our clients. Factors taken into consideration include:
109
Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 25 • Comprehensiveness of features
• Functionality
• Ease of use
• Dashboard/report capabilities
• Ability to quickly and efficiently rollout the system to our clients’ programs and projects From our experience with and research into the various systems currently available in the market, we have found that there are a small number of systems that provide superior functionality and the capacity to meet the needs of most large, complex projects. Choosing a solution that is complete and captures as much information in a single place as possible, provides key advantages during construction and subsequent facility management.
Often, to meet the needs of our clients and projects, it is not one system, but an integration of various online tools supplied by the construction manager, A&E and contractor.
Scheduling. Throughout planning, design and construction, Vanir’s standard practice is to proactively discover potential issues that may arise, prior to the Contractor encountering them. By a proactive approach, staying a few steps ahead of the Contractor, we can mitigate most potential issues before they become a real issue with cost or time impacts. During Construction, Vanir will review the Baseline Schedule and monthly progress schedules to verify compliance with specified project constraints, compliance with milestone dates, reasonableness of durations and sequences, accurate inter-relationships, proper planning of resources, loading of costs, balanced distribution of cash flow and completeness. In addition to providing formal comments, Vanir makes it a practice to communicate directly with the Contractor the expectations of the schedule, and even providing the “checklist” which will be used to review the schedule submittals.
Cost Estimating, Controls and Management. It’s no secret that staying within budget is an essential aspect of project success. Yet, nearly 80% of large-scale construction programs and projects come in over budget. For over 60 years, Vanir has provided cost estimating and management services that are unparalleled in accuracy and reliability.
Starting at the earliest possible point in a project, our in-house team of knowledgeable and experienced cost professionals can:
These items serve as the basis for successful cost control and work together to maximize the value of every dollar you spend. Our estimating team, which includes experts from the civil, architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical disciplines, has a deep understanding of current industry costs and how to develop accurate estimates, from early conceptual estimates to detailed quantity-based construction estimates. As the project plan is executed, expenses are documented and tracked to ensure things align with all accepted cost management strategies.
Controlling scope creep, keeping a project on schedule, planning for the unknowns, maintaining control over the project budget, managing contingencies, knowing cash flows, are all critical aspects of sound project management. This is true for projects of all sizes, all types, and in all locations. • Review the project scope
• Create a definitive and realistic cost model/plan
• Develop design phase estimates to help control
scope creep
• Consider lifecycle costs
• Analyze value and risk
• Assist with procurement
• Perform post-contract cost management/final
110
Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 26 Value Engineering /Constructability Reviews. We have found that a design professional project team working very closely on a project can often miss obvious errors and omissions or gaps in scope. These error and omissions could translate into very expensive change orders during the construction phase. We feel it is critical to conduct 3rd party peer reviews with regards to both design and budget to ensure the contract documents depict a project end state that is both physically and fiscally sound. A peer review program will consist of multiple informal peer reviews conducted throughout the design phase at designated submittals. The function of a peer review program is more than simply catching errors and omissions; it not only incorporates constructability issues and cost cutting measures, but ensures compliance with applicable standards; the Owner’s vision, stakeholder’s expectations, and other relevant guidelines and regulations. We are available to provide peer estimating should that be required in addition to services included in the Project Controls.
B. Stakeholder Engagement
Methods for soliciting and documenting views of internal and external stakeholders.
Our construction managers are advocates for your project stakeholders. They listen and assure that stakeholder visions are translated into cost-effective design concepts and then make these visions real during construction.
They will facilitate meetings with the design teams, document requirements and preferences, and review the design at each phase to confirm that stakeholder input is properly reflected. Throughout construction, our project managers will make sure that changes do not compromise user expectations. Our commitment is to deliver on day one, a finished building that will be exactly what the City, police department, and community expect.
Our team will adapt our stakeholder engagement process to fully embody the culture and style at the City of Fowler. We will:

Section 9, Item 9C.
City of Fowler RFQ - CM/PM Services for Senior Center and Police Headquarters 30 G. Specific Tasks Required of the City Staff
Description of specific tasks, deliverables, and information your firm will require from City staff. Explain what the respective roles of City staff and your firm’s staff would be to complete the tasks specified in the Scope of Work.
City of Fowler will need to assist in providing timely decisions when Vanir presents options, questions, alternatives, pricing, estimates or design issues that may need immediate attention and direction. Vanir will establish a line of communication between the City staff so that information will be readily accessible timely to avoid conflicts at all levels.
Submittal Procedures. During the course of construction, the contractor will be required to submit product information that will require input, review, and approval from the City. Vanir will forward to the City and assist in this task by addressing any questions or concerns the City may have. At this stage, Vanir will provide input with regards design and making sure the product meets the design intent.
Jobsite Meetings. Meetings are scheduled at least two times a month, but would encourage the City to attend by any means (conference call, video, in person) to be kept in the loop with the status of the project, any issues, and just to be able to report back to the City leaders as well. This is also a great opportunity to bring up any other items that might affect the construction or potential changes.
Coordination of Technical Inspection and Testing. The City will need to have under contract a 3rd party material testing and special inspections lab. Vanir will handle the scheduling, and logging of all testing and inspections throughout the project.
Construction Progress Review. Vanir will provide schedule reviews and inform the City on construction progress. If the Contractor begins to fall behind and show delays beyond the allowed contractual allowance, the City will need to decide on withholding liquidated damages (LD’s) or allow the contractor to make up the time within the next month to avoid the LD’s.
Monthly Contractor Payment. City will need to sign and process the payment application submitted for processing.
Change Order Processing System. Vanir will submit change orders to the City to be executed and processed.
Evaluate Proposal Cost. Vanir will provide a final review of the proposed cost for City approval. Once approved, Vanir will process.
Negotiation of Change Order Costs and Time Extensions. City will execute the final agreement between Vanir and the contractor. City may attend negotiations but not necessary unless Vanir requires City input.
Final Completion. City will need to conduct a punchlist walk, schedule training with personnel.
H. Innovative, Creative or Unique Approaches
Any additional innovative, creative or unique approaches for providing the service that will maximize efficient, safe, and cost-effective operations or increased performance capabilities.
Roy Magdaleno (proposed Project Director) has developed his own tracking tool after recognizing the inefficiency of updating disparate logs individually, prompting him to merge them into one cohesive system.
Throughout the process, he innovatively linked multiple Request for Information (RFI)’s to a single Potential Change Order (PCO), enhancing clarity and organization. With his tool, users effortlessly access PCO’s, revisions, and approvals, streamlining tracking within a unified log. This implementation has yielded significant benefits for clients, including:

Some additional innovative solutions Vanir implements on our projects include:
Creative Design Solutions. During design Vanir is always looking for cost-effective ways to achieve the project goals. Here are a few creative and sustainable design examples:
Targeted Acceleration. Vanir has had tremendous success working with architects and contractors to find construction activities that, with reasonable modification, can substantially improve the completion date.
These changes have little to no cost but could have a big impact of schedule. An example of this is bringing in temporary road base to permit access to a building during the rainy season. This is done in lieu of awarding weather delay. The Owner might agree to pay for the material or in many cases the Contractor does, to avoid the non- compensable extended overhead.
Coordinated Activation. To help activation we like to coordinate activities with the construction schedule. It is important that the Contractor understands the activation requirements and schedule and conversely, the end user’s activation plans consider construction status and ongoing activities.
Delivery Method. Vanir’s approach for this project would be as Design-Bid-Build but include milestones in the schedule for completion of certain portions of the work prior to moving on to the next. This will force contractors to focus their efforts on the most critical path (and most expensive) and avoid creating any delays and/or project overruns.
Example: In one instance, a contractor submitted numerous change orders, raising concerns of potential double-dipping.
Without meticulous tracking, the situation could have led to overpayment, with the contractor requesting $1.5 million for closure.
However, due to the detailed records maintained through Roy’s tracking log, we were able to scrutinize the requests thoroughly. As a result, we negotiated and ultimately paid only $500,000, saving a substantial sum for the project. “This experience is one of many that underscores the importance of meticulousness and organization, values I emphasize to my team. That’s why we integrate this tracking system into all our projects, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and cost savings for our clients.” - Roy Magdaleno Time and Cost Savings. Eliminates client repayments
and reduces time spent on administrative tasks.
Enhanced Efficiency. Streamlines processes,
minimizing back-and-forth communication for all
parties involved.
Risk Mitigation. Helps clients avoid claims by
providing detailed and accurate information,
enhancing preparedness and reducing potential
disputes.
Tailored Information. Provides clients with specific,
detailed information, enabling informed decisionmaking and greater project oversight.
Compatibility and Integration. Offers a hybrid
solution not provided by existing web-based
platforms, ensuring seamless integration with other
tools while maintaining superior functionality.

CONTRACT TERMINATIONS
If your firm has had a contract terminated in the last five (5) years, describe such incident.
Termination for default is defined as notice to stop performance due to the firm’s nonperformance or poor performance and the issue of performance was either (a) not litigated due to inaction on the part of the firm, or (b) litigated and such litigation determined the firm was in default.
Submit full details of the terms for default including the other party’s name, address, and phone number. Present your firm’s position on the matter. The City will evaluate the facts and may, at its sole discretion, reject the proposal on the grounds of the past experience.
If the firm has not experienced any such termination for default or early termination in the past five (5) years, so indicate.
SECTION
CONTRACT
TERMINATIONS
4 This termination was not for default. Vanir was selected by the City of Pflugerville in Texas to provide Program Management Services beginning April 2021 to support the management and implementation of the City’s Parks Program. The Agreement was to remain in effect until satisfactory completion of the Scope of Work for the initial 18-month program management phase of services. In October 2022, the City determined that Vanir had completed its services and did not have any current work-in-progress. At that time, the City elected not to continue Vanir’s services for Phase 2 and exercised its right to termination without cause. Neither Party was held liable for any damages.

EXHIBIT B
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to commencement of the Services, Vendor shall take out and maintain at its own expense the insurance coverage required by this Exhibit C. Vendor shall cause any subcontractor with whom Vendor contracts for the performance of Services pursuant to this Agreement to take out and maintain equivalent insurance coverage. Said insurance shall be maintained at all times during Vendor’s performance of Services under this Agreement, and for any additional period specified herein. All insurance shall be placed with insurance companies that are licensed and admitted to conduct business in the State of California and are rated at a minimum with an "A:VII" by A.M. Best Company, unless otherwise acceptable to the City. a. Minimum Limits of Insurance. Vendor shall maintain the following types of insurance with limits no less than specified:
(i) General Liability Insurance (including operations, products and completed operations coverages) in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If Commercial General Liability insurance or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit. (ii) Worker's Compensation Insurance as required by the State of California. (iii) Automobile Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
(iv) Umbrella or Excess Liability. In the event Vendor purchases an Umbrella or Excess insurance policy(ies) to meet the “Minimum Limits of Insurance,” this insurance policy(ies) shall “follow form” and afford no less coverage than the primary insurance policy(ies). In addition, such Umbrella or Excess insurance policy(ies) shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.
(v) Professional Liability. Contractor shall maintain professional liability insurance that insures against professional errors and omissions that may be made in performing the Services to be rendered in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of two million dollars ($2,000,000) per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this agreement, and Contractor agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement.
If Vendor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City shall be entitled to coverage at the higher limits maintained.
b. Other Insurance Provisions. The general liability policy is to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
(i) The City, its officers, officials, employees, and agents, are to be covered as insured's with respect to liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of the Vendor; and with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Vendor including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Vendor’s insurance (at least as broad 120
Section 9, Item 9C.
021023tg 8
as ISO Form 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33 or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).
(ii) For any claims related to the Services performed pursuant to this Agreement, the Vendor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and agents. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be excess of the Vendor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. (iii) Each insurance policy required by this section shall be endorsed to state that the City shall receive written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal, or material modification of the coverages required herein.
(iv) Vendor grants to the City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Vendor may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Vendor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. (v) Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City of Fowler Risk Services. The City may require the Vendor to purchase coverage with a lower deductible or retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.
c. Evidence of Coverage. Vendor shall deliver to City written evidence of the above insurance coverages, including the required endorsements prior to commencing Services under this Agreement; and the production of such written evidence shall be an express condition precedent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to Vendor’s right to be paid any compensation under this Agreement. City's failure, at any time, to object to Vendor’s failure to provide the specified insurance or written evidence thereof (either as to the type or amount of such insurance), shall not be deemed a waiver of City's right to insist upon such insurance later.
d. Maintenance of Insurance. If Vendor fails to furnish and maintain the insurance required by this section, City may (but is not required to) purchase such insurance on behalf of Vendor, and the Vendor shall pay the cost thereof to City upon demand, and City shall furnish Vendor with any information needed to obtain such insurance. Moreover, at its discretion, City may pay for such insurance with funds otherwise due Vendor under this Agreement.
e. Subcontractors. If the Vendor should subcontract all or any portion of the work to be performed in this Agreement, the Vendor shall cover the subcontractor, and/or require each subcontractor to adhere to all the requirements contained herein. Similarly, any cancellation, lapse, reduction or change of subcontractor’s insurance shall have the same impact as described above. f. Special Risks or Circumstances. The City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.
g. Indemnity and Defense. Except as otherwise expressly provided, the insurance requirements in this section shall not in any way limit, in either scope or amount, the indemnity and defense obligations separately owed by Vendor to City under this Agreement. 121

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: April 16, 2024
FROM: ERIC M. ROCHA, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: APPROVE an Agreement for the Water Tower Rehabilitation Phase 2 Project in the amount of $199,836.00 to Cal Inc. and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the Agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Water Tower Rehabilitation Phase 2 Project (Project) includes abatement of some hazardous materials, encapsulation of the tank and frame, safe disposal of any hazardous materials, and painting of the tank consistent with the City’s planned community outreach and visual identity plan. This action is based on the direction staff received at the January 16, 2024, City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
In 2023, the City engaged Dewberry Architects to assess the City’s water tower for rehabilitation. Although it is no longer used as a part of the City’s water distribution system, it is an important community identifier. As a part of that assessment, the City learned the tower had potential for uplift of the water tower legs during a high wind event, existing coating of the tank and structure contain heavy metal contaminates, and corrosion at connections between the tank and the water tower legs. Phase 1 of the project is already underway and consists of the installation of concrete blocks to mitigate structural uplift.
The City received three proposals for the Project. Each proposal presented unique methodologies and associated costs, reflecting varied approaches to preserving this significant landmark. A comprehensive evaluation was undertaken, focusing on the adaptability of these methods to the specific needs of the water tower, their compliance with environmental standards, and their overall cost-effectiveness. Initial cost estimates also indicated that removal of the tower and tank in their entirety, or replacement with a replica, were more costly.
Cal Inc.’s proposal stood out as the most beneficial, aligning closely with the project’s goals by offering a thorough and financially viable solution without compromising on quality. Their approach detailed a full spectrum of rehabilitation activities. This careful selection process highlights the City of Fowler's commitment to maintaining its community identifiers in a manner that honors its past while responsibly managing its resources for future generations. 138
Section 9, Item 9D.
PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the City Council Agenda.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff have performed a preliminary environmental assessment and have determined that the project is exempt under Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because the project would result in the repair and improvement of an existing Cityowned water tank. CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 states that projects resulting in the repair or maintenance of existing publicly owned utility facilities are exempt from further environmental review under CEQA. The project would not result in any potential environmental impacts under CEQA. Further, none of the exceptions under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines are applicable to this project.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This action is consistent with the following General Plan Policies and Goals:
Goal CDES-1
Through community design, Fowler fosters and reinforces the City’s unique sense of place.
GOAL CDES-2
Fowler incorporates enhanced gateways and wayfinding systems for an improved sense of arrival and orientation for residents and visitors. Goal CDES-3 Downtown Fowler is preserved and enhanced as the primary cultural and civic core of the community.
Policy CDES-2
Enhance wayfinding opportunities within the planning area.
Policy CDES-7
Maintain the integrity of community identifiers, that contribute to Fowler’s character. Community identifiers may include notable landmarks, historic buildings, and areas of historic, architectural, or aesthetic value.

diligence and best judgment while performing the Work, and shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. Contractor shall comply with all Labor Code requirements for public works projects applicable to Contractor’s work under this Agreement.

Only bonds executed by admitted Surety insurers as defined in Code of Civil Procedure section 995.120 shall be accepted. The surety insurers must, unless otherwise agreed to by City in writing, at the time of issuance of the bonds, have a rating not lower than “A-” as rated by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or other independent rating companies. City reserves the right to approve or reject the surety insurers selected by Contractor and to require Contractor to obtain bonds from surety insurers satisfactory to City.
10. Performance Bond. Prior to commencing any portion of the Work, the Contractor shall apply for and furnish City a performance bond for its portion of the Work which shall cover 100% faithful performance of all obligations arising under the Project Documents. Only bonds executed by admitted Surety insurers as defined in Code of Civil Procedure section 995.120 shall be accepted. The surety insurers must, unless otherwise agreed to by City in writing, at the time of issuance of the bonds, have a rating not lower than “A-” as rated by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or other independent rating companies. City reserves the right to approve or reject the surety insurers selected by Contractor and to require Contractor to obtain bonds from surety insurers satisfactory to City.
11. Performance Requirements. Notwithstanding, and in addition to the provisions of, Section 23 of this Agreement, if any Work performed hereunder is not in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement and other pertinent documents, City shall have the right to require Contractor to correct the Work in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement at no additional increase in the payment to Contractor.
Contractor shall promptly correct the work rejected by City for failing to conform to the requirements of the Project Documents. Remedy for non-compliance or non-performance shall commence within 24 hours of notice. City shall also have the right to require Contractor to take all necessary steps to ensure future performance of the Work in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to correct the Work or fails to take necessary steps to ensure future performance of the Work in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, City shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement for default.
12. Delay Damages. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement and the Work performed by Contractor. Contractor’s failure to timely complete the Work under this Agreement shall result in the assessment of delay damages at the rate of $100.00 per day for each calendar day the Project remains unfinished beyond the Completion Date or Work remains incomplete beyond any phase or milestone identified in the schedule as being subject to Delay Damages. The actual occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages which City would suffer for such delayed completion of the Project are impracticable and extremely difficult to calculate. Damages which City would suffer in the event of such delay include, but are not limited to, loss of the use of the other contractor’s work and the Project, disruption of activities, costs of administration and supervision, and the incalculable inconvenience and loss suffered by the public. Accordingly, the parties agree that the amount set forth herein shall be presumed to be the amount of damages which City shall directly incur for each calendar day that completion of the Project is delayed. 143

Prior to commencement of the Work, Contractor shall take out and maintain at its own expense the insurance coverage required by this Exhibit A. Contractor shall cause any subcontractor with whom Contractor contracts for the performance of Work pursuant to this Agreement to take out and maintain equivalent insurance coverage. Said insurance shall be maintained at all times during Contractor’s performance of Work under this Agreement, and for any additional period specified herein. All insurance shall be placed with insurance companies that are licensed and admitted to conduct business in the State of California and are rated at a minimum with an "A:VII" by A.M.

(i) General Liability Insurance (including operations, products and completed operations coverages) in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If Commercial General Liability insurance or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit. The General Liability Insurance shall be maintained for a period of ten (10) years following the earlier of completion of the Work by Contractor or termination of this Agreement.
(ii) Worker's Compensation Insurance as required by the State of California. (iii) Business Automobile Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
(iv) Umbrella or Excess Liability. In the event Contractor purchases an Umbrella or Excess insurance policy(ies) to meet the “Minimum Limits of Insurance,” this insurance policy(ies) shall “follow form” and afford no less coverage than the primary insurance policy(ies). In addition, such Umbrella or Excess insurance policy(ies) shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.
If Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City shall be entitled to coverage at the higher limits maintained.
b. Other Insurance Provisions. The general liability policy is to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
(i) The City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as insured's with respect to liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of the Contractor; and with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.
General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33 or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).
(ii) For any claims related to the Work performed pursuant to this Agreement, the Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, 150
Section 9, Item 9D.
Prepared Oct. 2020; reviewed Aug. 2021 11
and volunteers.

(iii) Each insurance policy required by this section shall be endorsed to state that the City shall receive written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal, or material modification of the coverages required herein.
(iv) Contractor grants to the City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Contractor may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
(v) Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City of Fowler Risk Services. The City may require the Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower deductible or retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.
c. Evidence of Coverage. Contractor shall deliver to City written evidence of the above insurance coverages, including the required endorsements prior to commencing Work under this Agreement; and the production of such written evidence shall be an express condition precedent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to Contractor’s right to be paid any compensation under this Agreement.
