2 Construction Management Expectations
The following is a list of the City’s expectations shall be incorporated into the Consultant’s contract.
1. Be on site to observe whenever the contractor is working. 100% field coverage is expected.
2. Know the project plans and specifications. The CM should know the documents better than the contractor. Understand the work as designed or know where to research the documents for information.
3. Respond to all contractor’s questions/claims no matter how small they may seem.
4. Talk with the contractor’s superintendent/foreman about the day’s planned activities and what his goals are for the next day. Follow up on any outstanding issues, submittals, etc.
5. Think ahead of the contractor and anticipate his work in the upcoming weeks. Remind the contractor to complete submittals, SOSRs, etc. in advance of the work. No last-minute requests for shutdowns or City assistance, unless it’s an emergency.
6. Do not do the work for the contractor. City is not going to have its consultants take on this liability.
City understands the need to keep the contractor on schedule but not by taking shortcuts.
7. Recognize the need for specialized inspection and schedule inspection/testing.
8. Observe the field activities and discuss with superintendent/foreman any discrepancies. Repeat frequently throughout the day.
9. Review document logs and check on status of RFIs, submittals, etc. in review and follow up with the appropriate parties.
10. All consultants and subconsultants shall maintain a professional appearance during all meetings including in-person meetings and virtual meetings. This includes an understanding of virtual meeting software, in addition to, the use of a professional background, use of adequate equipment including camera, laptop, lighting, microphone, etc.
11. Review new RFIs and submittals from the contractor and determine if the document should be forwarded to City and/or the design consultant or whether the CM can provide response. Also, check for completeness of information before forwarding. If incomplete, either return the document to the contractor or hold and wait for supplemental information from the contractor (the received date doesn’t start until the supplemental information is received); if the working relationship with the contractor is not good, return it immediately.
12. All RFI and submittal responses must be reviewed by City before being issued to the contractor.
13. When receiving resubmittals from the contractor, review the previous comments and determine if the contractor has addressed all comments. The CM will need to review these at some point in order to properly inspect the installation in the field. If the resubmittals are not complete, return them to the contractor.
14. Prepare a daily log electronically and email a copy to City for review every 1 to 2 days. Provide photos and videos as necessary to document the field activities.
RFP
ATTACHMENT 5
15 15. Obtain written approval from City for all field orders, RFQs and change orders before issuing to contractor. Provide, CM’s professional recommendation when seeking approval.
16. When issues arise, work with the Contractor to come-up with a solution and take a position that provides the greatest benefit to the City.
17. Review all proposals for RFQs received from the contractor before the start of negotiations. City gets the final approval of the negotiated price before any CCOs are formalized.
18. Review all backups for field order work before the CCOs are formalized.
19. Review initial draft of the progress billing request prior to submittal to City’s project manager.
Review the CM’s comments with the project manager prior to returning them to the contractor.
20. Review the contractor’s record drawings on a monthly basis and use the same timing as the schedule updates. If the drawings are not complete, recommend to the project manager an appropriate withhold amount.
21. Return all phone calls from project management staff on the same business day.
22. Provide City with all known scheduled time off during the project duration. Review time off impacts to project and project coverage with City at least one weeks in advance, or as soon as practicable.

Proposal for City of Manteca Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Well 29 TCP Treatment Project
Dear Mr. Nicolas and Mr. Guillory,
The City of Manteca (City) is seeking a construction management (CM) and inspection team to oversee the Well 29 TCP Treatment Project. This project will require an efficient, consistent, responsive partner with a strong understanding of water and well regulations — Brown and Caldwell (BC) is that partner.
We offer an experienced Construction Management Services (CMS) team who will emphasize and foster collaboration between City departments, designer, and contractor to deliver quality infrastructure while minimizing impacts to budget, schedule, City staff and the surrounding community. Additionally, the City of Manteca will realize the following benefits with our selection:
Trusted and Efficient
We are currently executing the Nile Garden Well 30 project for the City as well a very similar well TCP treatment project for San Juaquin County at Raymus Village. Our approach realizes the efficiencies in utilizing the same team for these projects on the Well 29 project. Their deep understanding of potential challenges and needs will provide the City with a consistent, efficient, and trusted team who are committed to executing this project in close collaboration and in the best interest of the City.
Knowledgeable Schedule Development and Execution
Where others have struggled, we will succeed in the execution of paced and efficient schedules, informed by immediate engagement and coordination with Contractor and City personnel and early identification of anticipated challenges. Because we are currently executing a similar project, we maintain a realistic understanding of procurement and lead times for equipment. The City can rely on our team to coordinate with project stakeholders to develop an efficient and workable schedule that will meet the needs of the project.
An Informed, Local Approach
We have successfully performed work for most of the major regional agencies, including the City of Manteca, as well as County of San Joaquin, the City of Modesto, the City and County of Sacramento, and multiple water districts. Our regional knowledge provides us with familiarity of local issues, regulations, and policies; an extensive understanding of how each agencies’ systems tie into each other; and an understanding of water quality needs. Our staff will approach this project as an extension of staff to provide the City to get this project done to the scrutinous standards of the City.
We invite you to read more about our project team, qualifications, and experience on the following pages. Per the RFP, this proposal will remain valid for at least 180 calendar days from November 16, 2023. If you have questions, please contact Stephen Walters at 916.365.9292 or [email protected] with any questions.
Truly yours,

43 Well Program – Design, Rehabilitation, and Construction Services Sacramento Suburban Water District, California
As part of a series of multi-year on-call engineering services contracts, BC has rehabilitated and modified more than 25 wells for the Sacramento Suburban Water District.
BC’s work on this project has extended the life of aging infrastructure throughout the metropolitan Sacramento area, allowing Sacramento Suburban Water District to provide safe and reliable water supply at a fraction of the cost of new facilities. In addition to designing a rehabilitation or modification for each well, BC oversaw the drilling contractor for compliance with each design and to adjust the design in the field, as conditions required. BC also provided full CM services for the equipping portion of Well 79.
Well N71// BC reconditioned the existing well site located in the City of North Highlands by performing mechanical and chemical well rehabilitation, conducting pump tests, and selecting permanent pumping equipment based on post-rehabilitation data. The project also included the installation of a new reconfigured 5,000-gallon hydropneumatic tank.
Well 79// BC provided design and CM services for the surface equipping of a potable supply well with a design flow of 1,200 gpm. ASR components and control strategies were incorporated into the final project. The project includes site work, well pump, discharge equipment and instrumentation, injection equipment and a CMU well building with electrical equipment and chemical injection equipment.
Well 59// Located in the City of North Highlands, Well 59 was put out of service due to high manganese concentrations. An investigation, led by BC, identified a deep waterbearing zone as the major source of manganese. Explosives placed downhole were used to push cement into the deep zone to seal it off. The well modification was successful in lowering manganese concentrations in water produced by the well, and the well was placed back into operation.

44 Raymus Village TCP Mitigation Project
San Joaquin County Department of Public Works, California With an efficient team, BC can provide technical expertise and guidance to budget sensitive Special District projects in the Central Valley.
BC is providing part-time construction management and inspection services for this $2.8 million wellhead treatment project. The Raymus Village TCP Mitigation Project consists of installing a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) treatment facility to remove TCP. The new system includes two automated sequences (trains), a sand separator, and a backwash tank. Construction also includes modification of yard piping, electrical systems, and civil site, security, and landscaping improvements,
San Joaquin County Public Works manages over 100 special districts that includes 52 wells. Each district has a separate capital improvement program (CIP) and budget. Most budgets are limited due to small number of customers and below average rates. This makes cost control extremely important when administering CIP projects. BC worked with the County to develop a budget friendly work plan that leveraged the County’s strengths in administering typical public work projects and BC’s expertise in constructing drinking water facilities. Our local staff allows us to provide part-time field observation that maintains a consistent presence at a reduced cost.
The existing well site is situated in a park with houses on two sides. No public outreach was conducted prior to the start of construction so neighbors were surprised once the GAC vessels were put in place. Also, per design, the 15-foot-tall backwash tank is located adjacent to the neighbor’s fence. Within days of concerns being brought forward, BC provided cost estimates of alternative site layouts to guide the County in the approach with the residents. BC quickly communicated with the contractor and negotiated a temporary suspension of work to minimize impacts to schedule and potential cost of rework. We are currently assisting the County with developing and negotiating additional site features and private property improvements to address neighbors’ concerns.

52 Appendix A: Additional Pertinent Information
Project Understanding and Approach
City personnel time is valuable. BC focuses on the details and has your best interest in mind. We keep you fully informed without overburdening you.
Project Understanding
A thorough understanding of a project’s inception, design intent, funding sources, schedule and critical success factors is key to anticipating challenges, developing solutions, minimizing negative cost and schedule impacts. The following section demonstrates our understanding of your project and the services you need to deliver this important infrastructure.
Project Overview
In December 2017, the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for 1, 2, 3-Trichloropropane (TCP) in public water systems. The City’s Well 29 facility has TCP levels exceeding the MCL and requires additional treatment systems to maintain compliance. The project consists of installing a Granular Activated Carbon Vessel (GAC) treatment facility. The new system will include three automated sequences (trains) that process potable water through activated carbon filtration systems to remove the TCP. These new treatment trains will operate upstream of the existing arsenic removal system and will allow the City to run the facility at its maximum output providing reliable water supply and system pressure while maintaining compliance with the State’s Division of Drinking Water requirements.
The Well 29 facility is located on the west side of Yosemite Village Park. It currently consists of a well building, arsenic treatment system, backwash tank, emergency generator and diesel fuel tank. The new TCP treatment trains will be located to the east of the existing well building and consist of six 18-foot tall, 12-foot diameter steel vessels. Each train will have its own valve manifold and set of instruments to control and monitor the treatment process. New piping will be installed to connect the TCP treatment to the existing arsenic feed line and the existing backwash tank. The project will furnish and integrate new electrical and controls system to automate and monitor the TCP treatment system. Site work includes additional paving to improve maintenance access, additional planting and irrigation to improve aesthetics and equipment screening, and park improvements such as resurfacing the adjacent basketball court and replacing the baseball backstop structure.

53 The Project was recently bid and the apparent low bidder is Conco-West, Inc. at $3,278,000. This is $682,000 below the Engineer’s estimate of $3,960,000. Nearly $2 million of the project’s cost is in the GAC treatment system. Based on the project specifications and responses to bidder’s questions, we anticipate the GAC system will be provided by Calgon Carbon Corporation. Another $700,000 is allocated to mechanical, electrical, controls and instrumentation.
Approximately $500,000 is budgeted for site civil, landscaping, and park improvements.
Anticipated Project Schedule
Unlike design or planning contracts, the timing and interdependency of CM services and deliverables are difficult to predict since construction phase schedules are largely dictated by the contractor. Most of our services and deliverables are provided throughout the duration of the contract and will ebb and flow to match the contractor’s level of effort. We develop preliminary schedules based on contract durations, specified constraints, and our experience with similar work.
This schedule helps us define our staffing plan and level of effort, and to identify the project’s critical success factors.
We assume the Notice to Proceed for the Contractor will be issued in January 2024. The specifications allow 320 calendar days for Substantial Completion and 360 calendar days for Final Completion. Therefore, the new treatment system should be functional by 2025.
Based on recent experience, the GAC submittal, approval, and fabrication process will take about 7 months. This drives the start of field work, which we anticipate starting in June to be ready for GAC vessel delivery in July. Providing 9 months for electrical, controls and instrumentation approval and procurement puts equipment on site in September, allowing testing and commissioning to start in mid-October. This aligns with a Substantial Completion by the end of November. Punchlist and closeout activities will be complete by the end of December 2024.
Based on the above assumptions we have developed the following preliminary Project schedule. A detailed discussion of Challenges and solutions associated with the project schedule are included in our Project Approach section below.
Figure 3. Anticipated Construction and CM Services Schedules Scope of Services
The City is requesting a full-service Construction Management (CM) team to perform construction management, contractor oversight, field inspections and document control. In addition, the City is requesting public outreach, materials testing, and specialty inspections. Since a comprehensive Scope of Services is included in the RFP, we have not included a separate scope of work herein. We intend to provide services consistent with those outlined in the RFP and as recently provided for the Nile Garden Well 30 project. Our approach to key services is discussed in greater detail in our Project Approach section below. We look forward to preparing, presenting, and finalizing a scope of work that meets the Project’s and City’s needs. We previously worked through finalizing a scope of work with the City on the Nile Garden Well 30 project. Elements from this effort will be carried to the Well 29 project, providing the City with significant efficiencies to move this project forward in a more expedited manner.

54 Project Approach
In this section, we discuss our methods to manage quality control, communications, conflict resolution, risk avoidance, cost and schedule control, file management, and public outreach. Throughout the section we demonstrate how we will draw on our experience to better support the City and the Project.
Quality Control // Team Dedication Leads to
Quality Projects
BC takes a proactive project management approach by providing our team a set of construction management processes and procedures. We prepare Quality Control Plans (QCP) that reflect the collective experience BC has constructing well facilities. These plans are consistent with the project specifications, City standards, permit, and funding requirements. Our QCPs detail the administrative and inspection, and auditing process that will be used for each project. They outline the project file structure, detail how submittal, RFI, change order, schedule, and cost will be managed. Our QCPs include our materials quality assurance program which details how permanent materials will be accepted, tested, and incorporated into the work.
Each of our staff understands their role and responsibilities in delivering high quality projects:
− As Project Manager, Stephen will be responsible for the development of the QCP, staff allocation, subconsultant management and schedule and cost control. − As Principle-in-Charge, Liz will be responsible for auditing the QCP and client wellness checks and satisfaction. − As Resident Engineer, Stephen will be responsible for the overall compliance with the QCP and Contract Documents.
He will work to identify potential constructability, design, permitting, or scheduling issues before they negatively impact the quality of the work.
− As Inspector, Wil will be responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the QCP. He seeks solutions at the field level and escalates proposed solutions, not just problems. He performs daily inspections and manages Specialty Inspectors and Materials Testers to help verify Contract compliance. He understands the importance of public safety, public convenience and perception and conducts himself as an extension of City staff.
Communication // Effective and Efficient Communications Keeps Team Informed and Agile
Our goal is simple; manage construction projects so City staff stays fully informed without being overburdened. BC will be the hub of all communication. We strive to foster effective communication and team collaboration between the Owner, Contractor, Designer, the public, utility companies and other stakeholders. We find that early engagement helps us understand the interests, concerns and expectations of each party and allows us to address them before they impede construction progress.
Stephen will be the primary point of contact for the City and responsible for the overall management of the Project, providing technical guidance and contract management. To provide consistent communication and dedication to you and your project goals, Stephen will meet regularly with the City Project Manager to discuss project status, construction issues, and our field personnel.
During construction we use a variety of tools to keep the City informed including access to up-to-date project files on our file management system CMIS, monthly status reports, progress meetings minutes, detailed daily reports, and daily communications. BC is efficient with submittals and RFIs and responds in a concise and timely manner to letters, reports, and change orders. We maintain effective verbal communication by holding preconstruction, regular progress meetings and special topic meetings. Our Inspectors will meet with foremen daily to discuss the work, safety, and traffic control, review the requirements of the plans and specifications, and schedule acceptance testing. Our Project Administrator will manage up-to-date project files, logs, and detailed meeting minutes.
BC Benefit//
Depending on the location of the
shop and as the project budget
supports, we recommend
performing periodic shop
inspections during GAC vessel
fabrication. We have done this
in the past and find that our
presence holds fabricators
accountable to their schedule
and QC checks. There are
multiple tank fabricators in the
Bakersfield and Inland Empire
area. Our subconsultant, Twining
has a strong presence in
southern California that will
make source inspections more
economical.
ATTACHMENT 5
55 Conflict Management and Resolution // Tailored
Approach to Manage Contractor Mentality
Regardless of project delivery method, BC’s approach to conflict management and resolution at project inception is always the same. We foster effective communication and a flexible collaborative environment that reduces conflicts and facilitates resolution when inevitable changes occur during construction. This approach is modeled after the Design-Assist project delivery method. We engage team members early in the project to leverage the collective experience and take advantage of input into the design. We also find this builds trust among team members that is invaluable when conflicts arise. BC has a proven track record implementing this approach. We have delivered 3 design-assist projects for the City of Roseville at an average of 5% under the Guaranteed Maximum Price.
However, there are times when a collaborative mentality is not well received by the contractor and conflicts can’t be productively resolved. To manage a claim-oriented contractor, BC quickly and assertively responds to frivolous RFIs and baseless claims, provides clear and detailed field directives, and develops independent and detailed cost estimates. In most cases, we find our documentation is better than the contractor’s, which assists us in negotiating or even nullifying baseless claims.
Documentation includes detailed daily reports, meeting minutes, formal, clear, and concise change directives, and regular schedule reviews.
Risk Avoidance // Identify Early and Provide Solutions to Minimize Risks The value of a construction management team lies within their ability to identify and avoid risks and develop potential solutions. BC has demonstrated this value by being a committed, trusted, and proven partner to our municipal clients like the cities of Modesto, Roseville, and Sacramento for the last 20+ years. We take a proactive risk assessment and avoidance approach throughout the life of a project. Below are just a few examples of how we do this - Prior to construction, we will review the Contract Documents looking for potential conflicts, sequencing issues, and potential value engineering opportunities.
During construction, we don’t just observe the work, we look ahead and advise the contactor about issues before they become problems. When issues arise, we strive to solve them at the lowest level. If that is not feasible or appropriate, we escalate potential solutions, not just the problem.
Leverage our Subject Matter Experts to provide expertise and guidance on the more technical issues. Specifically for the Well 29 TCP Treatment project we have drinking water treatment and permitting, electrical, instrumentation, startup, and commissioning experts available to support our CM staff.
BC Benefit//
Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) staff’s standards and/or
preferences are often not
incorporated into final designs.
Knowing this, BC will facilitate
conversations between
Engineering and O&M staff and
engage O&M staff during
submittal review or critical
equipment. This approach has
been proven to reduce costly
change orders after equipment
has been ordered or installed.
BC Benefit//
BC has strong working relationship with the apparently low bidder, Conco West. They are Stephen’s preferred contractor in the Central Valley for small to mid-sized water work projects. Together we have built over $15 million of drinking water storage, treatment, and pumping facilities. Like BC, Conco West has demonstrated they are solution-oriented. We have successfully worked through past challenges in a positive and productive manner. This shared approach and relationship will help deliver a high-quality treatment facility while keeping you fully informed without overburdening you.
ATTACHMENT 5
56 Cost and Schedule Management // Multifaceted
Approach Controls Cost and Schedule
Minimizing cost and schedule impacts is one of our most important roles as construction managers. Minimizing additional costs includes managing the construction budget and the construction management budget. Minimizing schedule impacts requires detailed review of critical path schedules as well as weekly look-ahead schedules and daily work plans.
We manage construction costs by holding the contractor accountable to the contract requirements. We instill in our staff that by knowing the project plans and specifications better and having better documentation than the contractor, change orders often can be avoided. We also engage the Design Engineer to provide that the design intent and all contract requirements are being adhered to. If a change order is necessary, we endeavor to resolve the issue quickly to avoid project delays. We also actively document extra work in the field and negotiate costs with the contractor to make sure the City is getting a fair price for any contract changes. BC also has in-house estimating experts that can provide independent costs if the construction team is at an impasse in negotiations.
To control our construction management budget, we provide efficient and flexible staffing plans. BC’s level of effort will fluctuate over the course of the Project. Stephen’s 20 years’ experience allows him to anticipate and develop a staffing plan to control the budget. Our local presence and depth of resources allows BC to mobilize staff on and off projects to match the ebb and flow of the contractor’s work. Many of our staff can provide construction management, field inspections, and office engineering duties. This minimizes billings during periods of limited activity. We also demand that our Inspectors take ownership of some administrative tasks like daily tracking of quantities, review of monthly progress payments, and tracking working days. Keeping these tasks at the inspector level lowers costs.
To encourage a timely construction completion, BC actively reviews and evaluates the contractor’s schedule. We will evaluate and scrutinize the contractor’s baseline schedule, schedule updates, and time impact analyses.
It is essential that all parties understand the schedule logic and critical path before construction begins. As construction proceeds, it is equally important that schedule updates accurately reflect progress to date. BC also has inhouse scheduling experts to support our CM team.
We also manage the project schedule on a weekly basis. Progress meetings are effective in identifying obstacles and producing solutions. The contractor’s three-week look-ahead schedules are required and discussed in detail. Potential schedule impacts such as construction issues, field conflicts, and construction staking, are dealt with by the project team before they become critical. We request that the Design Engineer attend these meetings as much as the budget permits, but at least once a month. We also utilize Weekly Statements of Working Days (WSWD) to document expired working days and rain days. These are issued weekly to the contractor, and they have 5 days to respond.
BC Benefit//
BC is nearing completion of a
Calgon GAC treatment system on
an existing well for San Joaquin
County. We will leverage lessons
learned to help keep the Well 29
project on track. For example,
pipe layout in the GAC shop
drawings can differ than that
shown on the plans. We will verify
the contractor is installing
underground pipe according to
approved shop drawings to help
rework.
BC Benefit//
Our Inspector, Wil LePlante, lives
20 miles from the site. BC has
active projects in North, Central
Manteca, and Modesto. Our
local presence allows us to
respond at a moment’s notice
and provide flexible and efficient
staffing plans.
ATTACHMENT 5
57 File Management Software Program // Right Sized Software Keeps Project on Budget and Schedule
There are so many file management programs available for the construction industry that it can be difficult to distinguish one from the other. Many of the larger off-the-shelf systems are programed to accommodate all types of projects. They often have features that are not useful for heavy civil and utility infrastructure construction, yet you pay for all options.
This is why BC evaluates the individual needs of a project and makes recommendations on which of BC’s preferred systems is most appropriate. For the Well 29 TCP Treatment project, we propose using the same system, called CMIS, that we are using on the Nile Garden Well 30 project. Using just one system makes project management for City staff more efficient. CMIS meets all the requirements listed in the RFP. Over the past 10 years, CMIS has been developed in collaboration with public agencies and construction managers specifically for public works projects. CMIS is based on Caltrans’ Construction Manual and Local Assistance Procedures Manual and designed to pass State audits.
BC are experts in administering projects with CMIS. Project Manager, Stephen, has used CMIS since its inception and helped beta test new modules. Inspector, Wil, is currently using CMIS on one of his projects.
Public Outreach // Engagement and Delivering on Commitments Reduces Complaints to City
BC has teamed with Port City Marketing Solutions (PCMS) to provide the Project with a comprehensive and proactive public outreach program.
Our multifaceted program is based on these four cornerstones – Identify Stakeholders and Concerns – PCMS will develop a stakeholder database. Prominent stakeholders on the Project will be residents adjacent to Yosemite Village Park. We will also work with the City to identify prominent watchdogs and member of the press (i.e. Manteca Bulletin) that may be interested in the project details.
Engage Public Prior to Construction – The key to engagement is meeting people where they are. We can hold a public forum at Yosemite Village Park and look for opportunities to couple our forum with other community events. We will provide a variety of communication methods like mailed letters and postcards, telephone and email hotlines, social media like Facebook, Instagram, Linked-in and outreach to traditional media outlets like the Manteca Bulletin.
We will provide content for the City’s website, or as an optional task we can host a project specific website. Lastly, we will offer outreach tools in multiple languages to maximize participation prior to construction.
Be Highly Visible During Construction – BC will be front-line representatives for the City. Our Construction Inspectors will be on site every day and interact with the residents and business owners to address their specific concerns. We will collaborate with the City and the Contractor to develop and distribute letters and door hangers to inform residents of the scheduled operations and expected impacts, as well as enforce and inspect the placement of no parking signs. All these actions are most effective when timely and accurate.
Deliver on Commitments – Nine times out of ten, a timely response to a concern diffuses the issue and simplifies the resolution. BC will be the first responder and if the issue cannot be resolved in the field, it will be elevated. To facilitate this happening, we will provide inspectors and the construction crews with business cards directing residents to the monitored project hotline and website. PCMS will review and distribute issues to Stephen for further consideration.
Stephen will evaluate, make recommendations, and achieve consensus with the City. This decision and communication back to the resident will be documented in a log for future reference.
BC Benefit//
BC CM teams primarily use two file
management systems: Procore and
CMIS. We evaluate and right size the
system to each project.
CMIS is typically 100% less expensive
than Procore and other similar systems.
Using CMIS on the Well 29 TCP project
will save the City about $4,000 without
sacrificing performance.
BC Benefit//
BC and PCMS are currently working with
the City to develop a public outreach
program for the Nile Garden Well 30
projects. We are developing a project
“brand” such that all correspondence
has a consistent look and messaging.
We will use this template to efficiently
provide the same services for the Well 29
project.
ATTACHMENT 5
58 Appendix B: Exceptions to the Professional Service Agreement We are committed to finding mutually agreeable contract terms, just like we did for your Nile Garden Well 30 project. We have reviewed the sample Standard Agreement provided in the RFP for CM Services for the Well 29 TCP Treatment Project. We request the following inserts/edits to the contract language for discussion during contract negotiations.
5. Method of Payment – Second sentence revise first
sentence to “City shall pay Consultant no later than 30 days after receipt of the monthly invoice by City staff.
Disputed amounts due may be delayed by City if
Consultant…” [Changes are made to clarify City will
review invoices within 30 days of receipt and may
withhold disputed amounts and release payment for
properly performed services.]
8. Ownership of Documents; Confidentiality – insert at
the end of paragraph 1 “City’s reuse of such
information for any project or purpose other than the
services pursuant to this Agreement is at the City’s sole risk.” [Inserted language are industry standard
exceptions to address reuse of Consultant’s work
product.]
8. Ownership of Documents; Confidentiality, paragraph
B after “or has become known to the related
profession” revise to “or has become known to the
related profession or becomes available to Consultant
by a third party who is not, to the knowledge of the
Consultant bound to retain such information in
confidence shall be deemed confidential. In the event
Consultant is compelled by subpoena, court order, or
administrative order to disclose any confidential
information, Consultant shall promptly notify District
and shall cooperate with District prior to disclosure so that District may take necessary actions to protect
such confidential information from disclosure.”
[Inserted language is industry standard carve outs for
confidential information.]
16. Insurance (B)4 revise to “Except for professional
liability, the insurer waives all rights of subrogation…” (B)(7) revise to “Acceptable endorsement forms are CG
20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10 04 13 and CG 20 37
04 13 or equivalent.” [The 11/85 no longer is
commercially available (unless grandfathered in), BC’s
carrier will not provide the 10/01 due to language
pertaining to coverage for the additional insured’s sole negligence, which is inconsistent with the City’s
indemnity obligation. Therefore, neither endorsement is available to BC. Rather, BC can provide 07/04-
equivalent additional insured endorsements for
ongoing and completed operations or the 04 13.]
Attachment 4 Insurance Requirement for Professional
Services:
Commercial General Liability revise 3rd bullet to
“Commercial General Liability Additional Insured
Endorsement naming the following as additional
insured on 2004 or later issued endorsement forms:”
We interpret the unaltered language to mean the CG
20 10 10/01 or 11/85 (or 1993) additional insured
endorsements forms (and not the ISO coverage form).
BC's carrier can provide 2004 (07/04) or 2013
(04/13) or equivalent.
Other Insurance Provisions, Paragraph 1, revise to
“Consultant’s insurance at least as broad as CG 20 10
and CG 20 37, or equivalents…” [BC’s insurer the
Hartford will provide the equivalent form.]
Waiver of Subrogation, revise to “Consultant hereby
grants to The City of Manteca a waiver of any right to
subrogation, except for professional liability…” [BC can provide a waiver of subrogation on all policies except
for professional liability. It is typically not available on design professionals’ professional liability policies. It goes beyond industry standards.]
