Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Marina City Council of September 3, 2025
CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2025 -,
AUTHORIZING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO
YAMABE & HORN ENGINEERING, INC. OF FRESNO, CA FOR
ENGINEERING AND LAND SURVEYING SERVICES FOR THE
CITYWIDE SIDEWALK INFILL PROJECT ; AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS SUBJECT TO FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE
CITY ATTORNEY; AND AUTHORIZING THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO
MAKE NECESSARY ACCOUNTING AND BUGETARY ENTRIES.
REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council:
1. Consider adopting Resolution No. 2025- authorizing a professional services agreement with Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc. of Fresno, CA for engineering and land surveying services beginning September 15, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $297,000.00 for the Citywide Sidewalk Infill Project.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement on behalf of the City subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney.
3. Authorize the Finance Director to make necessary accounting and budgetary entries.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Marina has prioritized enhancing its transportation infrastructure, including active transportation infrastructure such as pedestrian and bicyclist facilities. The 2014 ADA Transition Plan for Public Streets identified 22,579 feet of sidewalk gaps, with segments ranging from 50 to 1,795 feet. Since the completion of the Plan in 2014, Public Works staff have made significant progress in closing many gaps, but several persist near schools, parks, transit stops, and other key locations. In response , the City Council allocated $3 million in the current budget for Project #HSR2603 — Sidewalk Gap Infill.
Staff began the process of selecting an engineering firm to develop plans for the remaining work.
Yamabe & Horn Engineering was selected to evaluate the outstanding sidewalk deficiencies and prepare the necessary implementation plan. During the initial assessment, complexities such as right-of-way needs, utility conflicts, and existing infrastructure like retaining walls emerged, indicating the need for all survey work to be completed first, in order to clarify the project scope.
ANALYSIS:
Y&H conducted a thorough review of the identified sidewalk deficiency areas, utilizing Google Earth KMZ files and comparing them to the City’s 2014 ADA Transition Plan and parcel data.
This review revealed numerous questions regarding right -of-way procurement, utility conflicts, and structural considerations which could only be fully addressed through an initial land survey.
Although Y&H initially considered providing a comprehensive project cost estimate, the numerous variables involved prevented that at t his stage. To date, Y&H's survey staff has spent over 100 man-hours evaluating the sites at no cost.
1 An initial survey task is critical to proceeding with detailed design and project implementation.
The survey will include topographic data and base maps essential for engineering design The survey will also identify precise right-of-way requirements and infrastructure issues, serving as the foundation for design and construction planning.
Engagement of Y&H for survey services is a necessary preliminary step in the overall project development; and approval of this agreement will enable the City to proceed with critical land survey tasks. This effort will directly inform subsequent phases, including design and construction planning, ensuring that the project aligns with budget expectations and addresses the identified infrastructure and right-of-way issues efficiently.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the initial land survey work will be allocated from the existing project budget of $3 million designated for the Sidewalk Infill Project.

RE: Marina Sidewalk Infill Project
Proposal for Topographic and Boundary Survey Services
Dear Ismael,
Yamabe and Horn, Inc. (Y&H) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide civil engineering and land surveying services for the above-referenced project, the purpose of which is to implement the recommendations of the 2014 ADA Transition Plan for Public Streets, prepared by CSG Consultants, Inc., for sidewalk improvements within the City of Marina. As we have discussed, Y&H recommends that the project design/ development be divided into multiple tasks, as follows:
• Task 1 – Topographic and Boundary Survey
• Task 2 – Project Design Scoping
• Task 3 – Engineering Final Design for Initial Construction Project (Phase 1) and Preliminary Design for Future Construction Project(s) (Phase 2) Because the ultimate project cost could vary greatly based on right-of-way and topographic challenges, Y&H recommends that the initial project authorization be for Task 1 only.
Completion of Task 1 will provide the information necessary to determine the scope of right-of- way acquisition, potential private property impacts, utility coordination/relocations, retaining wall/structural elements, etc.
It is our understanding that the City has budgeted $3 million for the project in FY 25/26, but the ultimate project cost is expected to exceed that value. Once Task 1 is completed, Y&H proposes to provide a separate proposal for Task 2, the intent of which would be to prepare preliminary engineering design in order to scope the limits of a construction project which can be constructed within the $3 million appropriation, accounting for all associated project soft costs (completed surveying, preparation of plans, specifications and estimates, right-of-way acquisition (if necessary), bidding assistance, construction contract, contingency, construction management/inspection, etc.). Task 2 would also include cost estimating for completing the entire project with a future construction project or projects (Phase 2).
Task 3 would include preparing final plans, specifications and estimate for the Phase 1 construction project and preparing preliminary plans and detailed cost estimating for the Phase 2 construction project. The preliminary plans for Phase 2 can be used in support of a funding application for Active Transportation Program or other similar program funding.
For Task 1 services, we will provide topographic and boundary survey of the project areas identified in the ADA Transition Plan, Appendix C, which have not yet been completed by others (i.e. Developers). See Attachment 1 for Appendix C and Attachment 2 for a map with the proposed survey areas highlighted. Y&H will coordinate with the City of Marina for benchmark
EXHIBIT A
5 and datum information needed. Task 1 services will also include coordination with utility companies for utility plat research and plotting the existing utilities within the topographic survey drawing based on those utility plats.
Task 1 services will be completed for the fixed fee of $297,000 and the final drawings shall be delivered to the City within 4 months of the approval of a contract.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this proposal and look forward to continuing our working relationship with the City . Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Josh Rogers, P.E.

Contractor further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the City Manager. Contractor agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of the City in the performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall represent the interest of the City in any discussion or negotiation with any utility companies with conflicting infrastructure in the project area, and as such, may not accept compensation, commission or payment of any type from any such party or such party’s agent.
(b) City understands and acknowledges that Contractor may be, as of the date of commencement of services under this Agreement, independently involved in the performance of non-related services for other governmental agencies and private parties. Contractor is unaware of any stated position of the City relative to such projects.
Any future position of the City on such projects may result in a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.
11. Disclosure. Contractor may be subject to the appropriate disclosure requirements of the California Fair Political Practices Act, as determined by the City Manager.
12. Non-Discrimination.
(a) During the performance of this Agreement the Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with the applicable laws of the United States of America, the State of California and the City prohibiting discrimination and harassment. In performing this Agreement, Contractor shall not discriminate, harass, or allow harassment, against any employee or applicant for employment because of gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic characteristics, sex, race, color, ancestry, religious creed, national origin, physical disability (including HIV and AIDS), medical condition (including cancer), mental disability, age, marital status, denial of family and medical care leave and denial of pregnancy disability leave, sexual orientation, military/veteran status and any other characteristics protected by state or federal law. Contractor shall give written notice of its obligations under this clause to labor organizations with which it has a collective bargaining or other agreement.
(b) Contractor shall include the provisions of this Section 12(a) in all subcontracts related to this Agreement.
13. Indemnification.
(a) Other than in the performance of design professional services by a design professional, which shall be solely as addressed by subsection (b) below, and to the full extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, immediately defend (with independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the City) and hold harmless the City, its Council, boards, commissions, employees, officials and agents (collectively "Indemnified Parties" or in the singular "Indemnified Party") from and against any claims, losses,
EXHIBIT B
18 7
damages, penalties, fines and judgments, associated investigation and administrative expenses, and defense costs including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, expert witness fees and costs of alternate dispute resolution (collectively "Liabilities“), where same arise out of the performance of this Agreement by Contractor, its officers, employees, agents and sub -contractors. The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from the Contractor’s duty to indemnify and Contractor shall be obligated to defend in all legal, equitable, administrative or special proceedings upon tender to the Contractor of any claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established and the obligation extends through final judgment including exhaustion of any appeals.. The Contractor’s obligation to indemnify applies unless it is finally determined that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party. If it is finally determined that liability is caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party, the Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the established comparative liability of the indemnified party.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law (including without limitation California Civil Code Sections 2782.8), when the services to be provided under this Agreement are design professional services to be performed by a design professional, as that term is defined by said section 2782.8(c)(2) (“Design Professional”) Design Professional shall indemnify, protect and hold harmless any Indemnified Party for all Liabilities regardless of nature or type that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Design Professional, or such acts or omissions of an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of the Design Professional. Design Professional shall not have an immediate duty to defend an Indemnified Party, however, Design Professional’s obligation to indemnify (including reimbursing the cost to defend) and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless applies unless it is finally determined that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. If it is finally determined that liability was caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party the Design Professional’s indemnification obligation shall be reduced in direct proportion to the indemnified party’s proportionate percentage of fault. Within 30 days following Design Professional’s receipt of a properly presented written invoice Design Profession al shall satisfy its indemnification obligations and reimburse the Indemnified Party for the cost of reasonable attorney’s fees and defense costs incurred by the Indemnified Party to the same extent of Design Professional’s indemnity obligation herein. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to the Design Professional exceed the Design Professional’s proportionate percentage of fault.
(c) The provisions of this Section are not limited by the provisions of sections relating to insurance including provisions of any worker's compensation act or similar act. Contractor expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statues or laws as to City, its employees and officials. An allegation or determination of comparative active negligence or willful misconduct by an Indemnified Party unrelated to design professional services does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend City. Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those 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 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 secti on. Failure
EXHIBIT B
19 8
of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
(d) If any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party by reason of any of the matters against which the Contractor has agreed to provide an immediate defense to any Indemnified Party, as provided above, Contractor, upon notice from the City, shall defend the Indemnified Party at Contractor's expense by independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the City. Unless otherwise provided above, an Indemnified Party need not have first paid for any of the matters to which it is entitled to indemnification in order to be so defended. Contractor may submit a claim to the City for reasonable defense costs (including attorney’s and expert fees) incurred in providing a defense of any Indemnified Party to the extent such defense costs arise under principals of comparative fault from the Indemnified Party’s active negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.
(e) This obligation to indemnify and defend, 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.
14. Insurance.
(a) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and without limiting Contractor's indemnification of the City, Contractor agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect at its own expense the insurance policies set forth in Exhibit “B” “Insurance” attached hereto and made a part hereof. Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates of insurance, executed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf, along with copies of all required endorsements. All certificates and endorsements must be received and approved by the City before any work commences. All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by the City Attorney and Risk Manager as to form and content. Specifically, such insurance shall:
(1) be endorsed to protect City as an additional insured for commercial general and business auto liability; (2) provide City prior notice of cancellation; and (3) be primary with respect to City's insurance program. Contractor's insurance is not expected to respond to claims that may arise from the acts or omissions of the City.
(b) City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required herein by giving Contractor ninety days advance written notice of such change. If such change should result in substantial additional cost of the Contractor, City agrees to negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
(c) All required insurance must be submitted and approved the City Attorney and Risk Manager prior to the inception of any operations by Contractor.
(d) The required coverage and limits are subject to availability on the open market at reasonable cost as determined by the City. Non availability or non affordability must be documented by a letter from Contractor's insurance broker or agency indicating a good faith effort to place the required insurance and showing as a minimum the names of the insurance carriers and the declinations or quotations received from each. Within the foregoing constraints, Contractor's failure to procure or maintain required insurance during the entire term of this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this

(e) By signing this Agreement, Contractor hereby certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 et seq., 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 provision of that Code, and that it will comply with such provisions at all such times as they may apply during the performance of the work pursuant to this Contract.

The expenses of such mediation shall be shared equally between the parties.

If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
Additional Insured Status
City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of 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 Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used).

26 Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this contract, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary and non-contributory and at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. This requirement shall also apply to any Excess or Umbrella liability policies.
Umbrella or Excess Policy
Contractor may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements. The Umbrella or Excess policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying Commercial General Liability insurance.

Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.
Waiver of Subrogation
Contractor hereby grants to 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.
Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City. The CGL and any policies, including Excess liability policies, may not be subject to a self-insured retention (SIR) or deductible that exceeds $25,000 unless approved in writing by City.
Any and all deductibles and SIRs shall be the sole responsibility of Contractor or subcontractor who procured such insurance and shall not apply to the Indemnified Additional Insured Parties. City may deduct from any amounts otherwise due Contractor to fund the SIR/deductible. Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the City. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. City reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.
EXHIBIT B
27 Acceptability of Insurers

Verification of Coverage

All certificates and endorsements and copies of the Declarations & Endorsements pages are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive Contractor’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time. 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.

Duration of Coverage

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Marina City Council of September 3, 2025
CITY COUNCIL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, TAKE ANY TESTIMONY
FROM THE PUBLIC, AND CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO.
2025-, DISSOLVING THE CYPRESS COVE II LANDSCAPE
MAINTENANCE DISTRICT AND AUTHORIZE THE FINANCE
DIRECTOR TO MAKE THE NECESSARY BUDGETARY AND
ACCOUNTING ENTRIES
REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council:
1. Open public hearing, take any testimony from the public; and
2. Consider adopting Resolution No. 20 25-, dissolving the Cypress Cove II Landscape Maintenance District (“Landscape District”) and authorize the Finance Director to make the necessary budgetary and accounting entries.
BACKGROUND:
At the regular meeting of June 16, 1987, the City Council adopted Resolution 1987 -23, ordering the formation of the Cypress Cove II Landscape Maintenance Assessment District pursuant to Streets and Highway Code section 22594 and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 to maintain certain improvements required of new development as a condition of the Cypress Cove II subdivision approvals.
District assessment rates have not increased since 2004. Due to the ever -increasing cost of maintenance for the District, the City held a Proposition 218 ballot hearing on July 1, 2025 for the creation of an Overlay District to obtain the necessary funds t o properly maintain the District’s landscaping. At the public hearing held on July 1, twenty-five (25) ballots were received. After counting the ballots, the proposed increase failed by a count of 7 to 18. The City Council approved Resolution No. 2025-81, declaring its intention to dissolve the existing Cypress Cove II Landscape Maintenance District. A public hearing would need to be set for the Public to provide comment regarding the dissolution of the District.
Notice of the public hearing was mailed to all property owners within the Cypress Cove II Landscape Maintenance District informing them of the public hearing on September 3, 2025, or as soon after as the hearing may be held, to consider dissolution of the District.
ANALYSIS:
The majority of ballots collected denied the request to create the Overlay District that, effectively, would have raised the assessment need to fund the increased cost of maintenance of the Landscape District. Therefore, the landscapi ng, trees and retaining walls within the District boundaries will fall under the following maintenance responsibilities:
1 All residential properties on Seal Court and Cove Way with properties adjacent to Abdy Way (APN 033-076-001 to 033 -076-014) will be responsible for the trees and retaining walls within their individual properties. The City will continue to maintain the Emergency Access Parcel (APN 033-076-091) and the adjacent percolation basin along with the landscaping within the right of way on Cardoza Avenue.
All residential properties on Coral Way, Juniper Court, and Sandpiper Way with properties adjacent to the District Boundaries along Reservation/Beach Road and adjacent to the Seabreeze Landscape District will be responsible for the trees and retaining walls within their individual properties. The City will continue to maintain the landscaping within the right of way on Cardoza Avenue.
As stated at the July 1 st public hearing, any property owner who wishes to remove a tree on their property is exempt from a Tree Removal Permit per City Ordinance 17.62.040 . Any other improvements on private property including extending fencing, improving on existing retaining walls or any other work will require review by the City on a case -by-case basis, and subject to meeting applicable City permitting requirements. Additionally, other easements may exist within these areas that may have their own restrictions. It is up to each individual property owner to check whether an existing easement prevents extending improvements into any easement areas.
2 Finally, should any tree identified in the District’s Tree Assessment Management Report become a public nuisance as defined by City Ordinance 8.70.050(D)1, the City shall enforce all necessary measures to ensure the abatement of such nuisance including, but not limited to, requiring the property owner to remove the tree at their own expense or, failing to do so, the City removing the tree and placing a lien on the property owner for expenses incurred.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Should the City Council approve the dissolution of the Cypress Cove II Landscape Assessment District, the District would be dissolved effective September 4, 2025, and the estimated negative fund balance, estimated at $3,000 would be eliminated by a General Fund transfer into the Cypress Cove II Landscape Assessment District Fund 235. The Public Works Division would then carry out a biannual maintenance schedule for Cardoza Avenue right-of-way landscaping at an estimated cost of $15,000 a year. This maintenance work would include weed abatement, trash cleanup, and public safety measures (keeping the public right-of-way clear of bushes/tree encroachment).
CONCLUSION:
This request is submitted for City Council consideration and possible action.
Respectfully submitted,

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Marina City Council of September 3, 2025
CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO . 2025-XX
AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council consider:
1. Adopting Resolution No. 2025-, amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule to reflect the addition of a new fee for minor address changes.
BACKGROUND:
In Fiscal Year 2023-24, the City conducted a comprehensive “user” fee study. This study identified the appropriate cost-recovery level for fees that benefit individuals and groups, with the goal of minimizing the use of tax dollars to subsidize certain services. The recommended fees were adopted on July 2, 2024, and became effective on September 1, 2024. The fee schedule was later amended on August 6, 2025, to reflect the change in the Consumer Pricing Index to account for inflation and an estimated cost of living adjustment.
Prior to the August 6, 2025, Council Meeting, a need was identified to offer a tiered approach to recover costs associated with adding or re-addressing buildings. The current Building Address/Re- Address Processing Fee that was included in the study was determined to be $1,065 per building.
This amount was amended on August 6, 2025, to $1,094 per building.
To recover costs for minor address/re -address updates, such as those associated with accessory dwelling units, the City is proposing a New Address – Minor fee to reflect a streamlined process for minor updates.
ANALYSIS:
The Public Works staff evaluated the amount of time and positions that are typically needed to process a new or minor address change. The proposed New Address – Minor fee of $289 represents the time needed for an Administrative Assistant, a Fire Division Chief, and a contract engineer to provide the service . This includes the time needed to review the proposed address change against City standards, create a map showing the location of the new address for emergency services, confirm the address is permissible for processing through the appropriate City Departments; and file the new address with the US Postal Service, appurtenant agencies, and utility companies.
The notice for this public hearing was originally published in the Monterey Herald on August 22, 2025, and August 28, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The net reduction in revenues for each New Address – Minor fee is $805. It is anticipated that the impact to the overall budget will be minimal due to the limited number of transactions that are applicable to this category.
CONCLUSION:
This request is submitted for City Council consideration and possible action. 1 Respectfully submitted,

2 RESOLUTION NO. 2025-
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARINA
APPROVING THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR CITY SERVICES
WHEREAS, Marina Municipal Code Chapter 3.24 provides for the establishment of fees and charges for services;
WHEREAS, a notice of public hearing and information on the proposed New Address – Minor fee was provided in accordance with Government Code 6062a and there were no written requests for mailed notices of meetings or the public hearing on file with the City; and
WHEREAS, appropriate data has been available to the public since August 23, 2025, indicating the cost or estimated cost required to support the fee for which changes are proposed, and;
WHEREAS, the cost of services benefiting individuals or groups, and not the entire community should be borne by individuals receiving the service. Therefore, determining the cost of services ensures that fees recover only costs reasonably borne, as established by Section 8(c) of Proposition 4, now Article XIIIB of the California Constitution; and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that the Address Change – Minor fee of $289 per building represents the reasonable costs borne by the City for providing the identified services; and
WHEREAS, on September 3 , 2025, the City Council held a public hearing, for which notice was provided in accordance with Government Code Section 6062a, and took oral or written testimony from members of the public and information from staff regarding the new, increased, or confirmed service charges and fees; and

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Marina City Council of September 3, 2025
CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2025 -,
APPROVING AN UPDATED DESIGN FOR THE RECREATION AND
AQUATICS CENTER; APPROVING THE USE OF THE CONSTRUCTION
MANAGER-AT-RISK PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD
FOR SAME; AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE
TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR CMR SERVICES.
REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council consider adopting Resolution No. 2025- :
1. Approving an updated design for the Recreation and Aquatics Center; and
2. Approving the use of the Construction Manager-At-Risk public works project delivery method for the Recreation and Aquatics Center project and
3. Authorizing the City Manager to issue a Request for Proposals for CMAR services.
BACKGROUND:
The Recreation and Aquatics Center has been a priority project for several years with the City Council. Numerous open houses, community input sessions, surveys, and public hearings have been held that have influenced and refined the project scope and designs to ensure that the design and construction of the facility meets our community needs.
The new Recreation and Aquatics Center is designed and programmed to be as inclusive as possible to serve the broadest possible demographic of residents youth, and seniors, and to provide year-round health, fitness, and aquatics programs indoors. The plan ned facility is approximately 75,000 square feet, including indoor aquatics, fitness and gymnasium space, community meeting rooms, and supporting amenities.
On March 4, 2025, the City Council approved the previous final concept design and gave staff approval to work with COAR on preparing the 100% construction document design.
ANALYSIS:
City s taff and COAR have been working out final design details including the location of the walking track, final layout of administrative offices, additional storage , and additional space for the fitness equipment. COAR will be reviewing these final details with the City Council.
Traditionally, the next step would to complete the 100% final construction documents, and then put the project out for bid. This is the process the City typically uses and is called the Design - Bid-Build (DBB) project delivery method.
However, due to the project’s complexity, cost constraints, scheduling concerns, and potential cost escalation, staff is recommending utilizing an alternative to the DBB public works project delivery method called Construction Manager-At-Risk process (CMAR). Attached as EXHIBIT A is a brief overview of this process.
1 Although the CMAR process is not specifically singled out and identified by name in the City’s Municipal Code, pursuant to Section 2.05 of the City’s Charter , the City has broad authority to establish standards, procedures, rules, or regulations to regulate all aspects of the bidding, award and performance of any City public works contract and, therefore, has the authority to approve use of this process for the Recreation and Aquatics Center project. Nevertheless, to make the Council’s authority explicit, the City Attorney is also recommending that, separate from approval of this process for the Recreation and Aquatics Center , Council adopt an ordinance to codify the framework for using alternative project delivery methods, including the CMAR process, as well as another method called Design-Build. The CMAR process as described here would be consistent with that ordinance once adopted.
Under the CMAR process, the City hires a construction manager during the final design phase, who works collaboratively with the architect and City to provide pre -construction services including cost estimating, value engineering construction plan review and scheduling. The CMAR ultimately provides a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for construction, assumes risk for cost and schedule, and manages subcontractors.
The Advantages of a CMAR process is:
- Collaboration: CMAR is engaged early, improving construct ability, phasing, and scheduling.
- Cost Control: CMAR provides cost estimates throughout design and delivers a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
- Time Savings: Overlapping design and construction phases can reduce project duration. - Risk Management: The construction risk shifts from the City to the CMAR through the GMP.
The CMAR model provides risk-sharing and incentive alignment to minimize change orders and delays.
- Flexibility: Allows selection of a contractor based on qualifications and experience not just low bid.
Previously, COAR designed projects using the CMAR process and has experience in CMAR contract administration.
While the CMAR offers a GMP, it may not always yield the absolute lowest construction cost compared to traditional Design -Bid-Build, where the lowest bidder is usually selected . The CMAR delivery method is not expected to increase the project costs, and we anticipate it will reduce overall costs through early collaboration, design modification, improved scheduling, enhanced cost control, and reduced project risks.
Pre-construction services will be funded through the approved project budget. The final construction contract for the Recreation and Aquatic Center, which will include the final GMP , will be brought back to the City Council for approval before construction begins.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project budget is funded at $ 41.7 million

4 9640 Granite Ridge Drive, #130, California 92123 | 619.698.9177 | coargroup.com Benefits of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Delivery Method for the Marina Sports and Aquatics Center
As the City considers delivery methods for its new Sports and Aquatics Center, the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) approach offers notable advantages over traditional methods such as Design-Bid-Build (DBB). Although the City has not previously used CMAR, this method presents an opportunity to increase collaboration, manage cost risk, and improve project outcomes.
Under the CMAR model, the City retains a General Contractor (CMAR) during the design phase— specifically for this project, at the 30% Construction Documents Phase. This allows the contractor to engage early enough in the planning process to have some impact - working alongside the architect (COAR Design Group) to provide pre-construction services. These include cost estimating, constructability reviews, and value engineering recommendations, which can lead to more efficient design suggestions and better cost control. Early involvement of the contractor facilitates real-time pricing feedback, helping the City make informed design decisions within its projected budget. This process also allows for identification of long lead items as well as any potential schedule impacts from site conditions, weather, subcontractor availability, etc.
A key feature of CMAR is the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), which the contractor provides after sufficient design development, along with preliminary bidding of key trade packages. This allows the contractor to assess the scope of work while providing price certainty to the City. This limits the City’s financial exposure while still allowing flexibility during design development. The contractor assumes the risk of cost overruns beyond the GMP, except for owner-directed changes or unforeseen conditions outside their control, incentivizing accurate estimating and proactive risk management. The later in the process the GMP can be defined, the less risk for the contractor and lower contingency amounts that need to be carried in the project budget.
To ensure competitive pricing for the actual construction work, CMAR contractors are required to publicly solicit bids from qualified subcontractors for each trade package. The CMAR manages the bidding process transparently, often with City oversight or participation during bid openings. This open-book approach allows the City to verify that pricing is market-driven and fair, while still benefiting from the CMAR’s expertise in evaluating scopes of work, leveling bids, and selecting the most qualified and cost-effective subcontractors. When permitted by policy, the CMAR may submit competitive bids to self-perform work, but must be selected under the same transparent and competitive conditions as other subcontractors.
Throughout the project, the CMAR is expected to participate in regular coordination meetings with City staff and the design team. This ongoing collaboration helps resolve design and scheduling issues early, reducing the likelihood of delays and change orders during construction.
Compared to Design-Bid-Build, where the contractor is brought in after design is complete, CMAR allows for early input that can optimize constructability and budget adherence. Unlike conventional Design- Build, which combines design and construction under a single contract and can reduce the City’s direct influence over design decisions, CMAR maintains separate contracts with the architect and contractor.
This preserves design control while integrating construction insight and expertise early in the process.
In summary, CMAR offers the City a balanced approach to risk management, cost control, and design collaboration for the new Sports and Aquatics Center compared to a traditional Design-Bid-Build approach. With open-book subcontractor bidding, early contractor involvement, and guaranteed price protection, CMAR provides a transparent and collaborative path forward for delivering a complex public facility efficiently and responsibly.

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Marina City Council of September 4, 2025
CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER OPENING A PUBLIC HEARING,
TAKING PUBLIC TESTIMONY, AND INTRODUCING ORDINANCE NO. 2025-, AMENDING THE MARINA MUNICIPA L CODE, TITLE 3,
CHAPTER 3.16, BY ADDING TWO NEW SECTIONS 3.16.080 AND
3.16.090 - ALTERNATIVE PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD FOR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS; THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PURSUANT TO SECTION 15061(B)(3) OF
THE CEQA GUIDELINES
REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council consider:
1. Open a public hearing, take public testimony; and
2. Read by Title only and introduce Ordinance No. 2025-, amending the Marina Municipal Code, Title 3, Chapter 3.16 by adding two new sections, 3.16.080 and 3.16.090 - Alternative Project Delivery Method for Public Works Projects.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Marina is a charter city organized pursuant to Article XI of the California Constitution.
Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution and the City of Marina Charter Article I, Section 1.01, authorizes the City of Marina to adopt and enforce ordinances and regulations in respect to municipal affairs.
The City of Marina Charter Article 2, Section 2.05 grants the City the power to establish standards, procedures, rules and regulations to regulate all aspects of bidding, award and performance of any City public works contracts.
The California Public Contracts Code generally governs public agency contracting procedures, including the bid process, requirements for award of contracts and various other matters. The Public Contract Code generally contemplates the use of a standard co nstruction delivery method with the architect/engineer designing the project, the city issuing a request for bids from contractors and contractors building to the design and scope set by the architect and engineers (often referred to as design -bid-build). Use of alternative delivery methods such as design -build are limited. However, charter cities are authorized to establish their own procedures for public works contracts with appropriate authorization in the charter. The City of Marina Charter at Article 2, Section 2.05 provides the City authorization to establish its own standards for public works contract and pursuant to that provision, the City is proceeding with a construction manager at risk process for the Sports and Aquatic Center.
ANALYSIS:
Although the Charter already allows the City to set its own standards and procedures for public works contract, currently the City Code does not provide any additional criteria or specifications for using alternative methods of construction procurement, such as construction manager at risk or design-build, both of which can be used successfully by public agencies to speed up construction, reduce costs , and share risks with the contractor or construction manager. Most alternative delivery methods are premis ed on brin ging the construction team, either the contractor or construction manager, into the process during the design stage so that cost and project delivery issued can be addressed early in the process.
1 The proposed new City code sections will establish a process for determining what projects should be delivered pursuant to an alternative delivery method, such as construction manager at risk or design build. Projects would have to be valued at more than $1 million but the City manager could determine that smaller projects would benefit from an alternative delivery method. Additionally, the ordinance sets some parameters of the types of projects that would benefit from an alternative delivery method. Typically, these projects are more complex, present more risks to the City and benefit from early involvement of the contactor. The goal of using an alternative delivery method is to reduce time and costs associated with the project. Council approval of use of an alternative delivery method would be required for all projects valued at more than $1 million .
The ordinance requires that proposals for an alternative delivery method will be solicited via a request for qualification or a request for proposal and contracts will be awarded on the basis of whether the proposal meets the criteria in the request which must include price at a minimum but may include other criteria such as experience, past performance and life-cycle costs.
Public works projects funded by the state or federal government would not be eligible for an alternative delivery method unless such method is allowed by the funding source.
CEQA
The proposed Ordinance is not subject to environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) because the proposed procedural changes would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and the proposed ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have potential for causing significant effects on the environment. Therefore, the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from CEQA, and no further environmental review is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the ordinance is not expected to have a fiscal impact on the City. The use of an alternative delivery system for specific projects is expected to have beneficial fiscal impacts for the City.
CONCLUSION
This request is submitted for City Council consideration and direction.

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Marina City Council of September 3, 2025
CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 2025 -,
AUTHORIZING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO
WITHERSRAVENEL, INC., CA FOR ENGINEERING AND LAND
SURVEYING SERVICES FOR A CITYWIDE FACILTY CONDITION
ASSESSMENT AND ASSET MANAGEMENT CAPITAL LIFECYCLE
MODELING; AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR
DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS SUBJECT TO
FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY ATTORNEY; AND
AUTHORIZING THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO MAKE NECESSARY
ACCOUNTING AND BUGETARY ENTRIES.
REQUEST:
It is requested that the City Council:
1. Consider adopting Resolution No. 2025-, authorizing a professional services agreement with WithersRavenel, Inc. for a Citywide Facilities Condition Assessment and Asset Management Capital Lifecycle Modeling beginning September 15, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $82,529.00.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement on behalf of the City subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney.
3. Authorize the Finance Director to make necessary accounting and budgetary entries.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Marina has prioritized improving its facilities and infrastructure maintenance programs. To support this goal, the City Council unanimously approved Project # APF2319 City Facilities and Parks Maintenance Plan , with a budget of $100,000, dedicated to developing an improved maintenance plan for city facilities and parks.
Public Works staff have explored options to achieve this, culminating in a partnership with WitherRavenel, a firm specializing in Facility Lifecycle Modeling and predictive maintenance software that projects needs up to 20 years into the future.
ANALYSIS:
WitherRavenel has submitted two proposals: the first is a one-time Facility Condition Assessment for $26,675 and the second is for Asset Management Capital Lifecycle Modeling which is $55,854 for the first year with an optional second year at $33,408. Staff recommends moving forward with an agreement covering both the condition assessment and the first year of modeling for a total of $82,529, staying within the allocated budget of $100,000 . Deliverables include facility assessments, asset tagging, maintenance schedules, labor resource analyses, and lifecycle models supported by workshops and managed services.
These efforts will generate comprehensive data to inform preventive maintenance, capital repair, and replacement planning, and facilitate long -term budgeting. Inclusion of the second -year modeling would enhance ongoing asset management but requires a budge t augmentation of $15,937.
1 The procurement of WitherRavenel’s services complies with City procurement rules through participation in a purchasing cooperative. The City has exercised this option by utilizing the Sourcewell Purchasing Contract # 012524 -WHR, which establishes pre -negotiated terms and pricing for qualified entities, ensuring transparent and competitive procurement processes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended agreement costs $82,529, which is within the current fiscal year's budget of $100,000 for Project # APF2319 City Facilities and Parks Maintenance Plan . Should the City Council choose to approve the second year of asset lifecycle modeling, an additional $33,408 would be needed, totaling $115,937. An allocation of an extra $15,937 from other city funds would be necessary to cover this option. Funding for the initial scope is already budgeted; additional costs would require a separate budget amendment.

Assumptions
Client will provide mechanical room keys (when escorts are not available), floor plans, ladders and copies of maintenance logs as requested to support the project.
Definition of Data and Data Collection Standards
Consultant will assist in defining facility condition data standards and collection standards.
Consultant will also use these standards to assess and report conditions for the property elements noted above.
Digital Photographs
Digital photos will be captured and used for internal quality control purposes. Photos will be captured for building identification and documentation of asset and system conditions. Select photos will be used within the narrative reports; however, all photos will be made available through a Share Point site for the client's convenience.
Corrective Action Recommendations and Costing
Using our internal capital planning software budgets will be provided for deficient conditions identified during the facility condition assessment. Parametric cost estimates are based on nationally recognized estimating data such as RSMeans.
Deficiency Prioritization
We understand the reduction of the current backlog of maintenance items to be a multi-year task, and we must be able to assign a priority to each deficiency. Before data collection begins, Consultant will work with you to establish prioritization standards.
Data Analysis and Reports
Facility Condition Index (FCI)
Consultant will develop an FCI to quantify the deficiencies in each building. Our data is used to report the relative condition of buildings using a ratio of needed repairs (NR) over current replacement value (CRV) for the facility condition index (FCI). This ratio will allow you to sort your facilities into a list of Consultant will provide an FCI for current timeframe and an extended FCI for current plus five years for all facilities/sites in which the FCA is conducted.
Facility Renewal Forecasting
Long-range funding for facilities is accomplished by identifying the rate of renewal required to maintain components of each facility as it depreciates and becomes unusable. As part of the facility renewal forecasting activities, Consultant will:
1. Analyze and model the rates of depreciation of each facility and report on the annual reinvestment rate to replace components as they exceed useful service life, and
2. Determine approximate replacement cost of each building component where cumulating of components will equal the replacement value of the building.
After the condition assessments are complete, Consultant will develop forecasts for the renewal of building systems through life-cycle analysis. These forecasts will assist in the creation of budgets for capital renewal. Additionally, they allow for the long-term projection of renewal cost. Future work
EXHIBIT A
6 Marina, CA Facility Condition Assessment Project #25-0111-A July 18, 2025 P a g e | 3
will be estimated by taking the cost of a particular system renewal and forecasting the date of renewal by determining the expected life.
Examples of capital renewal forecast data are shown below and on the following pages.
Capital Renewal Schedule (Tabular). This chart is an example of a tabular view of all of the current deficiencies together with a view of when the organization should budget for reinvestment in building systems as they approach their end of design life. The data is organized by building system following the UNIFORMAT structure.

Consultant will work with you to establish performance goals for your portfolio of buildings. For example, you may choose performance goals based upon industry benchmarks for age, physical condition, and functional adequacy. These performance goals will be supported by an investment strategy based on priorities and criteria established to meet your goals.
Capital Planning, Project Planning and Packaging
For your project, Consultant will use your capital planning software to collect and manage the data associated with your facility condition assessment program.
The capital planning software will serve as a single repository for all asset-related data. Using software, Consultant will:
1. Determine the long-term system renewal costs and timing
2. Analyze the facility condition index (FCI) for assets Outlined below is an example of how to view Facility Condition Index (FCI) data to determine relative status of condition of your facilities.
Facility Condition
Index (FCI)* General Description*
0 - 10 Facility new or well maintained (very good to good condition) 11 - 20 Facility is satisfactorily maintained (fair condition) 21 30 Facility is under maintained (poor condition)
31 60 Facility should be considered for significant renovation or possible replacement (critical condition - facility is still safe but may be more cost effective to replace than to maintain)
*FCI ranges and associated condition descriptions can be adjusted according to preference for the best representation of the portfolio.

The design professional's responsibilities under this Agreement shall not be delegated. The design professional shall be responsible to the City for acts, errors or omissions of his, her or its subcontractors. Negligence of subcontractors or agents retained by the design professional is conclusively deemed to be the negligence of the design professional if not adequately corrected by the design professional. Use of the term subcontractor in any other provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to imply authorization for a design professional to use subcontractors for performance of any professional service under this Agreement.
(c) The City is an intended beneficiary of any work performed by a subcontractor for purposes of establishing a duty of care between the subcontractor and the City.
7. Skill of Employees. Contractor shall ensure that any employees or agents providing services under this Agreement possess the requisite skill, training and experience to properly perform such services.

9. Ownership of Data. Unless otherwise provided for herein, all documents, material, data, drawings, plans, specifications, computer data files, basis for design calculations, engineering notes, and reports originated and prepared by Contractor, or any subcontractor of any tier, under this Agreement shall be and remain the property of the City for its use in any manner it deems appropriate.

EXHIBIT D
34 6
deliverables is waived against Contractor unless City has given Contractor prior written notice of the changes and has received Contractor's written consent to such changes.
10. Conflict of Interest.
(a) Contractor covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of the City or which would in any way hinder Contractor’s performance of services under this Agreement. Contractor further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the City Manager. Contractor agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of the City in the performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall represent the interest of the City in any discussion or negotiation.
(b) City understands and acknowledges that Contractor may be, as of the date of commencement of services under this Agreement, independently involved in the performance of non-related services for other governmental agencies and private parties. Contractor is unaware of any stated position of the City relative to such projects.
Any future position of the City on such projects may result in a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.
11. Disclosure. Contractor may be subject to the appropriate disclosure requirements of the California Fair Political Practices Act, as determined by the City Manager.
12. Non-Discrimination.
(a) During the performance of this Agreement the Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with the applicable laws of the United States of America, the State of California and the City prohibiting discrimination and harassment. In performing this Agreement, Contractor shall not discriminate, harass, or allow harassment, against any employee or applicant for employment because of gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic characteristics, sex, race, color, ancestry, religious creed, national origin, physical disability (including HIV and AIDS), medical condition (including cancer), mental disability, age, marital status, denial of family and medical care leave and denial of pregnancy disability leave, sexual orientation, military/veteran status and any other characteristics protected by state or federal law. Contractor shall give written notice of its obligations under this clause to labor organizations with which it has a collective bargaining or other agreement.
(b) Contractor shall include the provisions of this Section 12(a) in all subcontracts related to this Agreement.
13. Indemnification.
(a) Other than in the performance of design professional services by a design professional, which shall be solely as addressed by subsection (b) below, and to the full extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, immediately defend (with
EXHIBIT D
35 7
independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the City) and hold harmless the City, its Council, boards, commissions, employees, officials and agents (collectively "Indemnified Parties" or in the singular "Indemnified Party") from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines and judgments, associated investigation and administrative expenses, and defense costs including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, expert witness fees and costs of alternate dispute resolution (collectively "Liabilities“), where same arise out of the performance of this Agreement by Contractor, its officers, employees, agents and sub -contractors. The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from the Contractor’s duty to indemnify and Contractor shall be obligated to defend in all legal, equitable, administrative or special proceedings upon tender to the Contractor of any claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established and the obligation extends through final judgment including exhaustion of any appeals.. The Contractor’s obligation to indemnify applies unless it is finally determined that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party. If it is finally determined that liability is caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party, the Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the established comparative liability of the indemnified party.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law (including without limitation California Civil Code Sections 2782.8), when the services to be provided under this Agreement are design professional services to be performed by a design professional, as that term is defined by said section 2782.8(c)(2) (“Design Professional”) Design Professional shall indemnify, protect and hold harmless any Indemnified Party for all Liabilities regardless of nature or type that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Design Professional, or such acts or omissions of an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of the Design Professional. Design Professional shall not have an immediate duty to defend an Indemnified Party, however, Design Professional’s obligation to indemnify (including reimbursing the cost to defend) and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless applies unless it is finally determined that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. If it is finally determined that liability was caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party the Design Professional’s indemnification obligation shall be reduced in direct proportion to the indemnified party’s proportionate percentage of fault. Within 30 days following Design Professional’s receipt of a properly presented written invoice Design Profession al shall satisfy its indemnification obligations and reimburse the Indemnified Party for the cost of reasonable attorney’s fees and defense costs incurred by the Indemnified Party to the same extent of Design Professional’s indemnity obligation herein. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to the Design Professional exceed the Design Professional’s proportionate percentage of fault.
(c) The provisions of this Section are not limited by the provisions of sections relating to insurance including provisions of any worker's compensation act or similar act. Contractor expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statues or laws as to City, its employees and officials. An allegation or determination of comparative active negligence or willful misconduct by an Indemnified Party unrelated to design professional services does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend City. Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those 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
EXHIBIT D
36 8
on behalf of Contractor in the performance or subject matter of this 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. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
(d) If any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party by reason of any of the matters against which the Contractor has agreed to provide an immediate defense to any Indemnified Party, as provided above, Contractor, upon notice from the City, shall defend the Indemnified Party at Contractor's expense by independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the City. Unless otherwise provided above, an Indemnified Party need not have first paid for any of the matters to which it is entitled to indemnification in order to be so defended. Contractor may submit a claim to the City for reasonable defense costs (including attorney’s and expert fees) incurred in providing a defense of any Indemnified Party to the extent such defense costs arise under principals of comparative fault from the Indemnified Party’s active negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.
(e) This obligation to indemnify and defend, 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.
14. Insurance.
(a) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and without limiting Contractor's indemnification of the City, Contractor agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect at its own expense the insurance policies set forth in Exhibit “C” “Insurance” attached hereto and made a part hereof. Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates of insurance, executed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf, along with copies of all required endorsements. All certificates and endorsements must be received and approved by the City before any work commences. All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by the City Attorney and Risk Manager as to form and content. Specifically, such insurance shall:
(1) be endorsed to protect City as an additional insured for commercial general and business auto liability; (2) provide City prior notice of cancellation; and (3) be primary with respect to City's insurance program. Contractor's insurance is not expected to respond to claims that may arise from the acts or omissions of the City.
(b) City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required herein by giving Contractor ninety days advance written notice of such change. If such change should result in substantial additional cost of the Contractor, City agrees to negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
(c) All required insurance must be submitted and approved the City Attorney and Risk Manager prior to the inception of any operations by Contractor.
(d) The required coverage and limits are subject to availability on the open market at reasonable cost as determined by the City. Non availability or non affordability must be documented by a letter from Contractor's insurance broker or agency indicating a good faith effort to place the required insurance and showing as a minimum the names
EXHIBIT D
37 9
of the insurance carriers and the declinations or quotations received from each. Within the foregoing constraints, Contractor's failure to procure or maintain required insurance during the entire term of this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement under which City may immediately suspend or terminate this Agreement or, at its discretion, procure or renew such insurance to protect City's interests and pay any and all premium in connection therewith and recover all monies so paid from Contractor.
(e) By signing this Agreement, Contractor hereby certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 et seq., 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 provision of that Code, and that it will comply with such provisions at all such times as they may apply during the performance of the work pursuant to this Contract. Unless otherwise agreed, a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City is required.
15. Independent Contractor. The parties agree that Contractor, its officers, employees and agents, if any, shall be independent contractors with regard to the providing of services under this Agreement, and that Contractor's employees or agents shall not be considered to be employees or agents of the City for any purpose and will not be entitled to any of the benefits City provides for its employees. City shall make no deductions for payroll taxes or Social Security from amounts due Contractor for work or services provided under this Agreement.
This Agreement shall not constitute, and it is not intended to constitute, either party as an employer, employee, agent, partner or legal representative of the other party for any purpose, or give either party any right to supervise or direct the functions of the other party. Except as specifically provided herein, neither party shall have authority to act for or obligate the other party in any way or to extend any representation on behalf of the other party. Each party agrees to perform under this Agreement solely as an independent contractor and neither party shall have any right, power, or authority, nor shall they represent themselves as having any authority to assume, create, or incur any expense, liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party for any purpose. Each party agrees not to permit its employees or agents to do anything that might be construed or interpreted as acts of the other party.
16. Claims for Labor and Materials. Contractor shall promptly pay when due all amounts payable for labor and materials furnished in the performance of this Agreement, so as to prevent any lien or other claim under any provision of law from arising against any City property (including reports, documents, and other tangible matter produced by the Contractor hereunder), against the Contractor's rights to payments hereunder, or against the City, and shall pay all amounts due under the Unemployment Insurance Act with respect to such labor.
17. Discounts. Contractor agrees to offer the City any discount terms that are offered to its best customers for the goods and services to be provided herein, and apply such discounts to payment made under this Agreement which meet the discount terms.
18. Cooperation; Further Acts. The Parties shall fully cooperate with one another, and shall take any additional acts or sign any additional documents as may be necessary, appropriate or convenient to attain the purposes of this Agreement.
EXHIBIT D

19. Dispute Resolution. If any dispute arises between the parties as to proper interpretation or application of this Agreement, the parties shall first meet and confer in a good faith attempt to resolve the matter between themselves. If the dispute is not resolved by meeting and conferring, the matter shall be submitted for formal mediation to a mediator selected mutually by the parties. The expenses of such mediation shall be shared equally between the parties. If the dispute is not or cannot be resolved by mediation, the parties may mutually agree (but only as to those issues of the matter not resolved by mediation) to submit their dispute to arbitration. Before commencement of the arbitration, the parties may elect to have the arbitration proceed on an informal basis; however, if the parties are unable so to agree, then the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding, unless within thirty days after issuance of the arbitrator’s written decision, any party files an action in court. Venue and jurisdiction for any such action between the parties shall lie in the Superior Court for the County of Monterey.
20. Compliance with Laws.
(a) Each party's performance hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws of the United States of America, the State of California and the City including but not limited to laws regarding health and safety, labor and employment, wage and hours and licensing laws which affect employees. This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced and interpreted under the laws of the State of California. Contractor must be in good standing and registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations in accordance with California labor Code section 1725.5 and shall comply with new, amended or revised laws, regulations or procedures that apply to the performance of this Agreement.
(b) If the Project is a "public work," or prevailing wages are otherwise required, Contractor shall comply with all provision of California Labor Code section 1720 et seq., as applicable, and laws dealing with prevailing wages, apprentices and hours of work.
(c) Contractor represents that it has obtained and presently holds all permits and licenses necessary for performance hereunder, including a Business License required by the City's Business License Ordinance (Title 5 of the Marina Municipal Code) for which a business license tax is prescribed and assessed at the rate of two-tenths percent of gross receipts, in accordance with the provisions therein. For the term covered by this Agreement, the Contractor shall maintain or obtain as necessary, such permits and licenses and shall not allow them to lapse, be revoked or suspended.
21. Assignment or Transfer. This Agreement or any interest herein may not be assigned, hypothecated or transferred, either directly or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempt to do so shall be null and void, and any assignees, hypothecates or transferees shall acquire no right or interest by reason of such attempted assignment, hypothecation or transfer.
22. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, sent by facsimile ("fax") or certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

2. Automobile Liability: Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 covering, Code 1 (any auto), or if Contractor has no owned autos, Code 8 (hired) and 9 (non-owned), with limit no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

4. Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions): Insurance appropriates to Contractor’s profession, with limit no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence or claim, $2,000,000 aggregate.
If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
Additional Insured Status
City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of 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 Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used).
EXHIBIT D
44 Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this contract, Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary and non-contributory and at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. This requirement shall also apply to any Excess or Umbrella liability policies.
Umbrella or Excess Policy
Contractor may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non-contributory, additional insured, Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements. The Umbrella or Excess policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying Commercial General Liability insurance. No insurance policies maintained by the Additional Insureds, whether primary or excess, and which also apply to a loss covered hereunder, shall be called upon to contribute to a loss until Contractor’s primary and excess liability policies are exhausted.
Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.
Waiver of Subrogation
Contractor hereby grants to 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.
Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City. The CGL and any policies, including Excess liability policies, may not be subject to a self-insured retention (SIR) or deductible that exceeds $25,000 unless approved in writing by City.
Any and all deductibles and SIRs shall be the sole responsibility of Contractor or subcontractor who procured such insurance and shall not apply to the Indemnified Additional Insured Parties. City may deduct from any amounts otherwise due Contractor to fund the SIR/deductible. Policies shall NOT contain any self-insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the City. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. City reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.
EXHIBIT D
45 Acceptability of Insurers
Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.
Claims Made Policies
If any of the required policies provide claims-made coverage:
1. The Retroactive Date must be shown, and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work.
2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work.
3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims- made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the contract effective date, Contractor must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of work.
Verification of Coverage
Contractor shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsements Pages of the CGL and any Excess policies listing all policy endorsements. All certificates and endorsements and copies of the Declarations & Endorsements pages are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive Contractor’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time. 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.
Subcontractors
Contractor shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors.
Duration of Coverage
CGL & Excess liability policies for any construction related work, including, but not limited to, maintenance, service, or repair work, shall continue coverage for a minimum of five (5) years for Completed Operations liability coverage. Such Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work.
Special Risks or Circumstances
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.
