LOS ALAMITOS SENIOR CLUB RULES OF CONDUCT FOR ALL CLUB ACTIVITIES
LOS ALAMITOS SENIOR CLUB HARASSMENT & DISCRIMINATION POLICY Los Alamitos Senior Club Rules of Conduct for all Club Activities Etiquette:
Much of the popularity of activities sponsored by the Los Alamitos Senior Club is attributed to the high standards of etiquette, which are observed by all participants. Participants should maintain at all times a courteous attitude toward partners and/or opponents. A participant should carefully avoid remark or action that might cause annoyance or embarrassment to another participant that might interfere with any participant enjoying the activity. Participants who fail to uphold these standards should be reported to the chairperson of the function.

All Activity Policy Violations;

Negative comments
Loud and disruptive arguing with anyone
Excessive talking that disturbs participants
If the chairperson agrees that you are in violation, you will be asked to cease the behavior. If you refuse to comply, you will be asked to leave the activity, however participant may return another day.
If the behavior or disturbance persists, the club president will be informed and he or she will investigate to determine if any action is required. Investigation includes speaking with the alleged offender in a private setting, and gathering information from room hosts, volunteers or witnesses. If disciplinary action is required, it should be of a progressive nature starting with a verbal warning followed by written warning(s), suspensions of increasing length, and ending in permanent removal from the Los Alamitos Senior Club activities. All phases of discipline should be treated in a confidential manner. In severe circumstances, steps in the progressive discipline steps may be bypassed. If the behavior has not improved after the remedy has been imposed then Law Enforcement may be summoned.
Los Alamitos Senior Citizens Club Harassment and Discrimination Policy Harrassment and discrimination pertaining to sex, sexual orientation, race, color, ancestry, religion, national origin, disability, medical condition, age, marital status or any other protected class under State and Federal law is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated by the Los Alamitos Senior Club.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 23, 2023 ITEM NUMBER: 12E
To: Mayor Tanya Doby & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Emeline Noda, Director of Recreation & Community Services Subject: Senior Services Master Plan
SUMMARY
This item for Council consideration is the concept of a Senior Services Master Plan to serve as a framework for future programming and infrastructure needs to serve the older adult community in Los Alamitos for the next 20 years.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Discuss the need and desire for a Senior Services Master Plan; and,
2. Provide direction to Staff.
3. Consider appropriating funds out of General Fund Reserves.
BACKGROUND
On trend with most other cities in Orange County, the older adult population in Los Alamitos continues to grow with an estimated 34.2% of residents aged 50. As this younger senior population continues to age into their retirement years and edge closer to Medicare age of 65, the need for programming to fit their unique needs becomes more challenging. As the senior population of ages 50+ continue to live longer, the Recreation & Community Services Department continuously evaluates and researches trends to program for the ages of 50 to 100 years old. Due to the vast range of ages in this population, a Senior Services Master Plan can provide a framework to develop programming for the next 20+ years to address multiple activity levels among this cohort.
DISCUSSION
The difference in wants, needs and interest from a 50-year-old to an 80-year-old is dramatic, set apart by three decades. This generational divide along with a notable increase in volume of older adults seeking age-specific programming at the Los Alamitos Community Center has been observed by staff in recent years. The challenge is to provide information, resources and programming to such a large age distribution of older adults. A Senior Services Master Plan would provide a road map and model for staff to follow in future programming needs for older adults in Los Alamitos.
In early 2022, Staff completed a sample survey of older adults in the Los Alamitos community, mostly receiving feedback from participants in current programming. Respondents ranged in
age, with 41% ages 75-89, 36% ages 65-74 and 19% ages 50-64. Data collected from a sample of 100+ respondents indicated a wide variety of programming needs, from healthrelated workshops and presentations to special interest classes and social gatherings.
Responses ranged in feedback from wine tasting and museum visits to the need for a congregate meal program, balance classes or assistance with resume writing for re-entry into the workforce.
A Senior Services Master Plan would create a model for planning and implementing senior services programs catered to the wants and needs of the older adult population in the City of Los Alamitos. Additionally, the Plan would serve as a guideline for programming and infrastructure needs for decades to come. One of the first in Orange County, such a Plan would set the groundwork for the City of Los Alamitos to be at the forefront of municipal senior services programming.
Staff has identified a potential educational research-based partnership with the Gerontology Departments at California State University Fullerton and California State University Long Beach, both institutions leading the County into a forward-thinking approach to healthy and successful aging. Along with the assistance from a consulting firm, Staff would work to research best practices, survey and outreach to older adults in Los Alamitos and the surrounding communities, and develop a Senior Services Master Plan with an estimated timeline of six months to one year goal. Outreach would focus not only on current participants but those who are not current participants and address seniors who may be in isolation.
FISCAL IMPACT
Development of a Senior Services Master Plan is unfunded. The initial estimated costs of bringing on a consultant to work with staff on outreach, research, and developing and writing a plan ranges from approximately $60,000 to $70,000 over a six to twelve-month period. The funding is available within the General Fund Reserves. It is requested that City Council appropriate these funds out of General Fund Reserves.

The Department has observed a great response to new offerings since COVID-19, with families and individuals of all ages continuously seeking ways to engage with their community, with a high demand for service and well-attended community events.
The Administration Department is in need of an additional Department Secretary due to growing workload and projects.
DISCUSSION
Each of the three part-time Community Services Coordinators work an average of 28 hours per week in the areas of:
1. Senior Services
2. Events and Aquatics
3. Youth and Adult Sports
There is a growing need in each of these areas to dedicate increased hours to accommodate
and support the various programs or events.
• Additional duties assigned include Senior Transportation Program (recently approved by City Council), expanded Senior Club support, expanded senior educational programs and classes with the development of a Senior Services Master Plan. • Additional duties assigned include year-round Aquatics program, expanded Aquatics programs and classes for expanded age groups.
• Additional duties assigned include year-round Youth Sports programs, Table Tennis Acquisition, pop up Pickleball, and adaptive sports partnerships with the Los Alamitos Unified School District.
As part of this conversion, the Department will accomplish the goals of staff retention, maintain a cohesive team, and continue with external community relationships vital to these roles (i.e.
Aquatics and Los Alamitos Unified School District personnel), and reduce the need to recruit and train new individuals.
The Administration Department requires an additional Department Secretary due to growing workload and demands. The City Manager has been without an administrative assistant since August 2021. This position will primarily provide administrative support for the City Manager, and be used for creative writing and video promotions. The Finance Department and City Clerk will also receive administrative support from this new position.
FISCAL IMPACT
If the proposed plan of conversion from part-time to full-time occurs at Mid-Year, the fiscal impact to the Recreation & Community Services Department will be $67,054. Annually, the fiscal impact will be approximately $134,108. Since returning to normal programming after COVID-19, the Recreation & Community Services Department has seen increased revenue in program attendance and Department sponsorships to cover the amount of this budget adjustment.
The cost for the Department Secretary for Administration will be $58,047 at mid-year and the annual fiscal impact is $116,095.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 23, 2023 ITEM NUMBER: 12G
To: Mayor Tanya Doby & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Irving Montenegro Jr., Manager
Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Consideration to Implement "Revive Los Alamitos"
SUMMARY
A discussion concerning the implementation of an Economic Development program intended to financially assist Los Alamitos-based businesses and commercial establishments by investing in their property through various methods.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Review and discuss the program structure and criteria; and,
2. Provide feedback; and,
3. Approve funding for the program at a cost of $105,000.
BACKGROUND
The goal of the City's Economic Development Department is to make Los Alamitos attractive to current and future business owners and patrons. There are many objectives in making this goal come to fruition, including making the process of obtaining a business license more efficient and streamlined, keeping the City safe, and making Los Alamitos more attractive for people to want to shop, eat, play, and support local. "Revive Los Alamitos" is one of the Economic Development objectives aimed at beautifying the commercial store fronts in Los Alamitos and also assisting the home-based businesses by improving their technological infrastructure so they are able to conduct business in the modern world.
DISCUSSION
The Economic Development Division is seeking alternative ways to attract and assist local home-based businesses with programs offered by Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) through micro grants and training focused on innovative ways to improve marketing strategies, client attraction, inexpensive systems, and tools for business operation, among others. Most recently, the City's Celebrate Los Al event included the inaugural Pine strEATs grant program which solicited Los Alamitos based restaurants and home-based food services to participate in the event by offering a grant of up to $5,000 to cover all event related expenses associated with supplies, food items, and personnel hours. This program attracted 14 Los Alamitos restaurants ranging across a variety of culinary crafts and dining options. The feedback on the event from both the restaurants and attendees has been an overwhelming
success.
The focus will now shift back to brick-and-mortar businesses and commercial establishments in the City of Los Alamitos. The objectives of this program are for interested businesses to invest in their property, make improvements to their façade, address outdated repairs, renovate worn structures, utilize landscaping as ways to freshen the aesthetics for greater shopping experience and customer appeal.
Program Criteria
The program criteria include:
• Establishment as a business and commercial property within the City of Los Alamitos. • Independent contractors are not eligible.
• City Staff and Elected Officials are not eligible.
• Fees paid to outside agencies are not eligible (i.e., schools, county, districts). • Must present direct nexus between permitted work and receipts for local purchases. • Free of any building and code violations.
• Program expiration is set for one calendar year from the launch date. • Eligible Improvements
The program is eligible for the following improvements and applicants will be responsible for selecting a contractor, acquiring all necessary City permits, while maintaining high construction standards and City policy and procedures:
• Exterior paint
• Windows
• Doors
• Signage
• Landscaping
• Irrigation
• Awnings
• Canopies/pergolas
• Exterior facade treatments and additions
• Block wall/fencing
• Program Procedures
The program procedures are designed to be easy but methodical as the City will cover up to 50% of the projected costs for improvement. Thus, auditing will be critical in ensuring that the work done is met through the expected timeline. The chart below explains the step-by-step process with City Staff guidance along the way:
Marketing Plan
The following marketing strategy will be used to help educate and solicit interest from applicable businesses in the City:
• City website
• Email blast
• Social media
• Recreation brochure
• Citywide mailers
• Local newspapers
• Posters at various locations
• Pop-up banners and street banners
FISCAL IMPACT
The budget allocation for this program is proposed to come out of the Economic Development Division, Fund 57 (57-560-5002), for this fiscal year 2023/2024. Each eligible business will have a maximum rebate of $15,000 worth of improvements with 50% reimbursement for City approved project expenses. This is intended to make it equitable and available for multiple businesses to participate in the program. Applications will be received on a first come, first serve basis. The marketing costs are intended to help promote the program citywide through the period of the grant program. Staff will have full discretion on any projects that are subject to the program's vision.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 23, 2023 ITEM NUMBER: 12H
To: Mayor Tanya Doby & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Community Center Roof Project
SUMMARY
The roof of the Community Center building has incurred significant damage from storms in the beginning of 2023. This item recommends actions to begin facilitating the repairs of the roof and damaged infrastructure.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Carryover the $500,000 for the Community Center Roof Project approved by Council at the March 20, 2023, Council Meeting; and,
2. Appropriate an additional $1,290,952 from the General fund for the Community Center Roof Project; and,
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a constrution contract for the Community Center Roof Project, in a form to be approved by the City Attorney, in amount not to exceed $1,790,952.
BACKGROUND
During the winter storms that occurred at the beginning of the year, the Community Center roof experienced a significant amount of damage as a result of leakage throughout the building.
The areas affected by the leaks consist of: the flat roof section located in the northwest portion of the building which includes the kitchen, the craft room, activity rooms 2 and 3, several storage closets, and the flat roof section located in the south portion of the building which includes staff office space and the front lobby. This project will also include the repair of the water-damaged infrastructure located throughout the Community Center, which includes but not limited to drywall damage, electrical damage, and damage to the interior paint.
DISCUSSION
Earlier this year, the City Council adopted a resolution allowing for the City to suspend its normal procurement rules in order to facilitate the repair and reconstruction of the Community Center Roof that was damaged during the recent storms. This action allowed staff to deviate from the standard process for awarding contracts for the improvement of public buildings that can take up to 8 months to complete, as it includes the development of a project scope and detailed plans, the Council's approval of plans for the project, advertizing of the project and solicitation for bids, review of those bids, and the Council's award of the contract.
Since the Council took this action, staff has been hard at work not only developing the specification for the project, but also soliciting bids from various contractors. This included over 10 site walks with various contractors to understand the scope of the projects and the difficulties involved with the repairs given the age and style of construction that is currently in place. During these inspections, it became clear that the damage would not be remedied with a simple patching job and would require the reconstruction of the whole roof and some of the other facility supporting systems.
As stated from the beginning of the project, it has always been the City's intention to complete this project in such a manner that it would not disrupt the operations within the Community Center or displace any of the many user groups, such as the Senior Club. Fortunately, the damage was contained to certain areas, which allowed staff and the engineering team to continue their work of developing a plan for the entire repair, while not disturbing any of these groups.
As previously reported, the complexity of the project and the need to provide warranties for the completed work complicated the solicitation of bids. Ultimately, out of the several contractors that were contacted, three submitted quotes. These are outlined below:
Company Quote Contingency
(20%)
Engineering
Costs
Total
KYA Group $1,367,460 $273,492 $150,000 $1,790,952
ADCO $1,434,000 $286,800 $150,000 $1,870,800
Best Contracting Services $1,973,461 $394,693 $150,000 $2,518,154 It is recommended by staff that the CIty Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with the KYA Group for the Community Center Roofing Project due to it being the lowest, most responsible quote received.
The Roofing Project consists of repairing damaged infrastructure, including but not limited to:
• Remove, dispose of existing roof tiles and underlayment and replace them with new roofing materials.
• Furnish and install new rain gutters.
• Furnish and install fascia boards.
• Replace the drain pipe systems.
• Remove and replace exterior shade structures.
• Replace interior ceiling panels.
• Remove and replace damaged interior walls.
• Inspect and repair interior electrical outlets.
• Replace existing interior lighting fixtures.
• Paint the Community Center interior rooms.
The tentative work schedule is below:
Date Tasks
November 6, 2023 to December 1, 2023 Mobilization & Procurement December 4, 2023 to January 19, 2024 Exterior Construction January 22, 2024 to March 1, 2024 Interior Construction March 4, 2024 to March 15, 2024 Punchlist Items
March18, 2024 to March 29, 2024 De-mobilization
March 29, 2024 End of Construction
The goal during the assessment process of not disrupting services offered at the Community Center will still be a priority during construction and this has been expressed to the vendor.
They have agreed to extend their normal working days to six days a week and to extend working hours into the night, during the interior work, to minimize disruption to the public and staff working inside the Community Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
Council appropriated $500,000 at the March, 2023 meeting. An additional $1,290,952 is requested for a total amount of $1,790,952. The City's General Fund will fund this project with the anticipation of receiving a State Disaster Relief Grant that has been submitted in line with the Governor's State of Emergency Declaration due to severe winter storms.

B1.18 REJECTION OF PROPOSALS
The Agency reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, to waive any irregularity, and to reject any proposals which are incomplete, obscure or irregular; any proposals which omit a bid on any one or more items on which bids are required; which omit unit prices if unit prices are required; in which unit prices are unbalanced in the opinion of the Agency; which are accompanied by insufficient or irregular bid security; or which are from bidders who have previously failed to perform properly or to timely complete contracts of any nature.
B1.19 AWARD OF CONTRACT
The Contract will be awarded, if at all, to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, whose bid proposal is not rejected for cause by the Agency. However, until an award is made, the Agency reserves right will be reserved to reject any or all bids, and to waive technical errors or discrepancies, if to do so is deemed to best serve the interests of the Agency. In no event will an award be made until all necessary investigations are made as to the responsibility and qualifications of the bidder to whom it is proposed to make such an award.

A. In compliance with and pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, AGENCY shall assume the responsibility, as between the parties to this AGREEMENT, for the timely removal, relocation, or protection of existing main- or trunk-line utility facilities located on the site of any construction project that is a subject of this AGREEMENT, if such utilities are not identified by AGENCY in the plans and specifications made a part of the invitation for bids. The Contract Documents shall include provisions to compensate CONTRACTOR for the costs of locating, repairing damage not due to the failure of CONTRACTOR to exercise reasonable care, and removing or relocating such utility facilities not indicated in the plans and specifications with reasonable accuracy, and for equipment on the project necessarily idled during such work.
CONTRACTOR shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project, when such delay was caused by the failure of AGENCY or the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of such utility facilities.
B. To the extent that the work requires trenches in excess of five feet (5’) and is estimated to cost more than $25,000, prior to any excavation, CONTRACTOR must provide the AGENCY, or a registered civil or structural engineer employed by the AGENCY to whom authority has been delegated to accept such plans, a detailed plan showing the design of shoring, bracing, sloping, or other provisions to be made for worker protection from the hazard of caving ground during the excavation of such trench or trenches. If such plan varies from the shoring system standards, the plan shall be prepared by a registered civil or structural engineer. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to allow the use of a shoring, sloping, or protective system less effective than that required by the Construction Safety Orders.
C. This AGREEMENT is further subject to Public Contract Code Section 7104 with regard to any trenches deeper than four feet (4’) involved in the proposed work as follows:
CONTRACTOR shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify AGENCY, in writing, of any:
(1) Material that CONTRACTOR believes may be hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, which is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site in accordance with existing law.
(2) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated by all available information provided prior to the deadline for submission of bids. (3) Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the contract.
AGENCY shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR’s cost
SECTION D – Page 6
CONTRACT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENT
of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work, AGENCY shall issue a change order under the procedures described in this AGREEMENT.
In the event that a dispute arises between AGENCY and CONTRACTOR whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the work, CONTRACTOR shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided in the AGREEMENT, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the AGREEMENT. CONTRACTOR shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.
ARTICLE VI: Insurance
A. With respect to performance of work under this AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR shall maintain, and shall require all of its subcontractors to maintain, insurance as required by Section E “Standard Specifications” of the Contract Documents.
B. This AGREEMENT is further subject to Workers’ Compensation obligations, including, but not limited to, California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 1861 as follows:
CONTRACTOR shall take out and maintain, during the life of this contract, Worker’s Compensation Insurance for all of CONTRACTOR’s employees employed at the site of improvement; and, if any work is sublet, CONTRACTOR shall require the subcontractor similarly to provide Worker’s Compensation Insurance for all of the latter’s employees, unless such employees are covered by the protection afforded by CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR and any of CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors shall be required to provide AGENCY with a written statement acknowledging its obligation to secure payment of Worker’s Compensation Insurance as required by Labor Code § 1861; to wit: ‘I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.’ If any class of employees engaged in work under this AGREEMENT at the site of the Project is not protected under any Worker’s Compensation law, CONTRACTOR shall provide and shall cause each subcontractor to provide adequate insurance for the protection of employees not otherwise protected.

[Business & Professions Code § 7028.15]
[Public Contract Code § 20103.5]
I, the undersigned, certify that I am aware of the following provisions of California law and that I, or the entity on whose behalf this certification is given, hold a currently valid California contractor’s license as set forth below:
Business & Professions Code § 7028.15:
a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to submit a bid to a public agency to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor within this state without having a license therefor, except in any of the following cases:
(1)The person is particularly exempted from this chapter. (2)The bid is submitted on a state project governed by Section 10164 of the Public Contract Code or on any local agency project governed by Section 20104 [now § 20103.5] of the Public Contract Code.
b) If a person has been previously convicted of the offense described in this section, the court shall impose a fine of 20 percent of the price of the contract under which the unlicensed person performed contracting work, or four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500), whichever is greater, or imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or both.
In the event the person performing the contracting work has agreed to furnish materials and labor on an hourly basis, “the price of the contract” for the purposes of this subdivision means the aggregate sum of the cost of materials and labor furnished and the cost of completing the work to be performed.
c) This section shall not apply to a joint venture license, as required by Section 7029.1.
However, at the time of making a bid as a joint venture, each person submitting the bid shall be subject to this section with respect to his/her individual licenser. d) This section shall not affect the right or ability of a licensed architect, land surveyor, or registered professional engineer to form joint ventures with licensed contractors to render services within the scope of their respective practices. e) Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a bid submitted to a public agency by a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with this chapter shall be considered nonresponsive and shall be rejected by the public agency. Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or employee of a public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter. The amount of civil penalties, appeal, and finality of such citations shall be subject to Sections 7028.7 to 7028.13, inclusive. Any contract awarded to, or any purchase order issued to, as contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter is void.
SECTION D – Page 19
CONTRACT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENT
f) Any compliance or noncompliance with subdivision (e) of this section, as added by Chapter 863 of the Statutes of 1989, shall not invalidate any contract or bid awarded by a public agency during which time that subdivision was in effect. g) A public employee or officer shall not be subject to a citation pursuant to this section if the public employee, officer, or employing agency made an inquiry to the board for the purposes of verifying the license status of any person or contractor and the board failed to respond to the inquiry within three business days. For purposes of this section, a telephone response by the board shall be deemed sufficient.
Public Contract Code § 20103.5:
In all contracts subject to this part where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of this state.
However, at the time the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the agency that the records of the Contractors’ State License Board indicate that the contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors’ State License Board. The agency shall include a statement to that effect in the standard form of pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.

CONTRACTOR and AGENCY agree that Agency, its employees, agents and officials should, to the extent permitted by law, be fully protected from any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, cost, expense, attorneys’ fees, litigation costs, defense costs, court costs or any other cost arising out of or in any way related to the performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the parties to be interpreted and construed to provide the fullest protection possible under the law to the Agency. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that AGENCY would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of the commitment of CONTRACTOR to indemnify and protect AGENCY as set forth here.
5-4.2.2 To the full extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY, its employees, agents and officials, from any liability, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged, or threatened, actual attorney’s fees incurred by AGENCY, court costs, interest, defense costs including expert witness fees and any other costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever without restriction or limitation incurred in relation to, as a consequence of, arising out of or in any way attributable actually, allegedly or impliedly, in whole or in part to the performance of this Agreement. All obligations under this provision are to be paid by CONTRACTOR as they are incurred by the AGENCY. 5-4.2.3 Without affecting the rights of AGENCY under any provision of this agreement or this section, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless AGENCY as set forth above for liability attributable to the sole fault of AGENCY, provided such sole fault is determined by agreement between the parties or the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This exception will apply only in instances where the AGENCY is shown to have been solely at fault and not in instances where CONTRACTOR is solely or partially at fault or in instances where AGENCY’s fault accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved. In those instances, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be all-inclusive and AGENCY will be indemnified for all liability incurred, even though a percentage of the liability is attributable to the conduct of the AGENCY. 5-4.2.4 CONTRACTOR acknowledges that its obligation pursuant to this section extends to liability attributable to AGENCY, if that liability is less than the sole fault of AGENCY. CONTRACTOR has no obligation under this Agreement for liability proven in a court of competent jurisdiction or by written agreement between the parties to be the sole fault of AGENCY. 5-4.2.5 The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this or any other provision of this Agreement will not be limited by the provisions of any workers compensation act or similar act. CONTRACTOR expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to AGENCY, its employees, agents and officials.
5-4.2.6 CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those as set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor, sub-tier contractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance or subject matter of this

STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. 5-4.2.7 Failure of AGENCY to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on AGENCY and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend AGENCY as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of CONTRACTOR and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section. 5-4.2.8 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide insurance in accordance with the requirements as set forth here.
If CONTRACTOR uses existing coverage to comply with these requirements and that coverage does not meet the requirements set forth herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. The following coverages will be provided by CONTRACTOR and maintained on behalf of AGENCY and in accordance with the requirements set forth herein. 5-4.2.9 Commercial General Liability/Umbrella Insurance. Primary insurance shall be provided on ISOCGL form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. Total limits shall be not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence for all coverages and two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) general aggregate. AGENCY and its officers, agents and employees shall be named as additional insureds using ISO additional insureds endorsement form CG 20 10 11 85 (in no event will AGENCY accept an endorsement form with an edition date later than 1990). Coverage shall apply on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance, primary or excess, available to AGENCY or any employee or agent of AGENCY. Coverage shall not be limited to the vicarious liability or supervisory role of any additional insured. Umbrella Liability Insurance (over primary) shall apply to bodily injury/property damage, personal injury/advertising injury, at a minimum, and shall include a “drop down” provision providing primary coverage above a maximum of $25,000.00 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary policies but covered by the umbrella policy. Coverage shall be following form to any underlying coverage. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross-liability exclusion. Policies shall have concurrent starting and ending dates.
Each policy of insurance shall contain a clause prohibiting cancellation, modification or lapse without thirty (30) days prior written notice having been given to the City. All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by the City Attorney and certificates evidencing such policies shall be provided to the City concurrently with the filing of all required bonds.
5.4.2.10 Business Auto/Umbrella Liability Insurance. Primary coverage shall be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92 including symbol 1 (Any Auto). Limits shall be no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) per accident. Starting and ending dates shall be concurrent.

SECTION E - Page 11
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
5-4.3.2.1 This Section supersedes all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 5-4.3.2.2 Nothing contained in this Section is to be construed as affecting or altering the legal status of the parties to this Agreement. The insurance requirements set forth in this Section are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and shall be interpreted as such. 5-4.3.2.3 All insurance coverage and limits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to the full extent of the policies involved, available, or applicable. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the AGENCY or its operations limits the application of each insurance coverage. 5-4.3.2.4 Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only and is not intended by any party to be all-inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. 5-4.3.2.5 For purposes of insurance coverage only, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
5-4.3.2.6 All general or auto liability insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement, or any other agreements pertaining to the performance of this Agreement, shall not prohibit CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR’s agents, officers, or employees from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss.
Contractor hereby waives all rights of subrogation against AGENCY. 5-4.3.2.7 Unless otherwise approved by AGENCY, CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall be written by insurers authorized to do business in the State of California and with a minimum “Best’s” Insurance Guide rating of “A:VII.” Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these insurance specifications. 5-4.3.2.8 In the event any policy of insurance required by this Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, AGENCY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by AGENCY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR.
Upon CONTRACTOR’s failure to make such reimbursement within 30 days of written demand, AGENCY may deduct that sum from any monies due CONTRACTOR hereunder or otherwise. 5-4.3.2.9 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide evidence of the insurance required herein, satisfactory to AGENCY, consisting of certificate(s) of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to CONTRACTOR’s general liability and umbrella liability policy (if any) using ISO form CG 20 10 11 85. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days’ notice of any cancellation of coverage. CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word “endeavor” with regard to any notice provisions.
CONTRACTOR agrees to provide complete copies of policies to AGENCY upon request. 5-4.3.2.10 CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof shall be furnished within 72 hours of the expiration of the coverages. 5-4.3.2.11 Any actual or alleged failure on the part of AGENCY or any other additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this Agreement in no way waives any right or remedy of AGENCY or any additional insured, in this or any other regard. 5-4.3.2.12 CONTRACTOR agrees to require all subcontractors or other parties hired for this project to provide general liability insurance naming as additional insureds all parties to this Agreement.
SECTION E - Page 12
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain certificates evidencing such coverage and make reasonable efforts to ensure that such coverage is provided as required here. CONTRACTOR agrees to require that no contract used by any subcontractor, or contracts CONTRACTOR enters into on behalf of AGENCY, will reserve the right to charge back to AGENCY the cost of insurance required by this Agreement. CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors or others with whom CONTRACTOR contracts on behalf of AGENCY will be submitted to AGENCY for review. Failure of AGENCY to request copies of such agreement will not impose any liability on AGENCY, its officers, agents, or employees. 5-4.3.2.13 If CONTRACTOR is a Limited Liability Company, general liability coverage must be amended so that the Limited Liability Company and its Managers, Affiliates, employees, agents and other persons necessary or incidental to its operations are insureds. 5-4.3.2.14 CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to AGENCY of any claim or loss against CONTRACTOR that includes AGENCY as a defendant. AGENCY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims. 5-7 SAFETY

Failure of the Contractor to perform any covenant or condition contained in the Contract Documents within the time period specified shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate the Contract unless the Contractor applies for, and receives, an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5-5.
Failure of the Agency to insist upon the performance of any covenant or conditions within the time period specified in the Contract Documents shall not constitute a waiver of the Contractor’s duty to complete performance within the designated periods unless the Agency has executed a waiver in writing.
The Agency’s agreement to waive a specific time provision or to extend the time for performance shall not constitute a waiver of any other time provision contained in the Contract Documents.
Failure of the Contractor to complete performance promptly within the additional time authorized in a waiver or extension of time agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Contract entitling the Agency to terminate this agreement.
