RECITALS
A. DISTRICT plans to construct sanitary sewer improvements, including, but not limited to, sanitary sewer main repair, sanitary sewer lateral repair, and manhole replacement, within the City of Napa’s right-of-way depicted in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Project Area”) as part of an annual sewer rehabilitation project (“DISTRICT PROJECT”).

B. The CITY plans to construct roadway and water improvements (City Work) within the same Project Area.

C. The CITY and the DISTRICT agree to partner and combine their projects to reduce impacts to the residents of the Project Area and decrease total project costs.

D. The DISTRICT has agreed to include the work required to make concrete repairs and pave streets within the City of Napa’s right-of-way and construct water infrastructure improvements (“CITY Work”) in the scope of work for the construction contract for the DISTRICT PROJECT, and CITY has agreed to reimburse the DISTRICT for the costs of the CITY Work.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, CITY and DISTRICT, for the mutual consideration described herein, agree as follows:

1. Scope of CITY Work. As part of the DISTRICT PROJECT, the DISTRICT shall cause its contractor to perform the CITY Work in accordance with the City’s project-specific and standard plans and specifications and the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CITY, at its sole discretion, may elect not to have the CITY Work performed as part of the DISTRICT PROJECT if the City determines that the bid item price for the CITY’s Work provided by the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the DISTRICT PROJECT is too high.

2. Design and bidding of Project(s).

A. The DISTRICT will conduct, pay for, and be responsible for the design of and preparation of plans and specifications for the DISTRICT PROJECT and will incorporate the CITY’s project-specific and standard plans and specifications for the CITY Work.

B. The DISTRICT will advertise all design plans and specifications for the PROJECT for bidding by contractors pursuant to all State and Local bidding requirements and Section 3(B) below.

3. Construction of the Project.

A. Approval of Bid Documents by City. At least fourteen (14) days prior to inviting bids for the PROJECT, the DISTRICT shall provide the CITY’s Public Works Director with a complete set of bid documents for the PROJECT for review and written approval by the Public Works Director. DISTRICT shall include in the PROJECT bid documents specific bid items for the CITY Work.

B. Procurement. The DISTRICT will conduct and be responsible for the procurement of all contracts associated with the construction of the PROJECT, including selecting and awarding the construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Prior to awarding a contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the PROJECT, the DISTRICT shall provide to the CITY the bid item price for the CITY Work provided by the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Within five (5) business days of CITY’s receipt of the bid item price for the City Work, the CITY’s Public Works Director shall notify DISTRICT in writing whether CITY elects to have the CITY Work included in the construction contract for the PROJECT. The DISTRICT’s Board of Directors maintains the authority to not award the CITY Work, regardless of the CITY’s Public Works Director’s election. If CITY notifies DISTRICT in writing of its election not to have the CITY Work included in the construction contract for the PROJECT or if the DISTRICT’s Board of Directors does not award the CITY Work, this Agreement shall terminate and the Parties shall have no further obligations hereunder.

Commercial or comprehensive general liability insurance coverage (personal injury and property damage) of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence, either issued by a company admitted to do business in the State of California and having an A.M. Best Rating of no less than A:VII or by self-insurance satisfactory to the CITY’s risk manager , covering liability for any personal injury, including death, to any person and/or damage to the property of any person arising from the acts or omissions of that PARTY under this Agreement. If the coverage includes an aggregate limit, the aggregate limit shall be no less than twice the per occurrence limit.
(2) Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance. A comprehensive automobile liability insurance policy (Bodily Injury and Property Damage) on owned, hired, leased and non-owned vehicles used in conjunction with the DISTRICT’s activities under this Agreement of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence.

For the commercial general liability insurance coverage referenced in 7(B)(1) and, for the comprehensive automobile liability insurance coverage referenced in 7(B)(2) where the vehicles are covered by a commercial policy rather than a personal policy, the DISTRICT shall cause its contractor to also file with the evidence of coverage an endorsement from the insurance provider naming the CITY, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds and waiving subrogation.

(3) The certificate or other evidence of coverage shall provide that if the same policy applies to activities of the DISTRICT’s contractor not covered by this Agreement, then the limits in the applicable certificate relating to the additional insured coverage of the CITY
