BACKGROUND
On June 30, 2021, the Public Works Department sent out a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) for multi-year on-call professional engineering services. The RFQ solicited proposals for various professional on-call engineering services that include: Roadway & Structures Engineering, Traffic Engineering, Utility Engineering, Environmental Services, Real Property Services, Surveying, Geotechnical Engineering, Material 7 & Laboratory Testing, Drainage, Hydrology, & Hydraulic Engineering, Landscape Architecture & Park Design, Architectural & Engineering Design, Labor Compliance, and Development Plan Check. These services are required due to the specialized nature of various projects as well as the need to complete the projects within the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in a timely manner. A panel that consisted of several City staff members across multiple Departments selected 33 firms that best met the City’s criteria from the RFQ, consistent with the City’s municipal code. Additional agreements will be brought forward to Committee and Council once agreements are completed by staff.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department will be bringing forward various agreements to establish On-Call Professional Engineering Services with successful consultants or firms to provide professional and technical expertise once agreements are prepared. These agreements are necessary due to the volume and nature of work within the Public Works Engineering and Transportation & Mobility Divisions and will continue to support the departmental needs for various projects. Additionally, having pre-approved on-call agreements for professional services can reduce the amount of time necessary to complete certain types of smaller CIP projects. The scope of work under these agreements are as follows:

Professional services under this agreement will be composed of task orders for each individual project assigned by the City and under the supervision of a Project Manager. The task order proposal will identify a concise description of the scope of work to be performed by the consultant, the method by which the consultant plans on completing the work, and a schedule for completion of the work. It is the consultant's responsibility to determine the best and most cost-effective method to complete the work so that the assigned task order can be completed to the satisfaction of the City of Oxnard. Projects with special requirements (i.e. federally funded) will be publicly bid separately when required.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item is a routine operational item or does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount of each agreement shall not exceed the amounts noted above over the term of three years.
Funding will be charged to a given project or funding source dependent upon the services performed by task orders. The respective Department/Project Manager will ensure sufficient funding is available in the approved operating budget or CIP project budget for related tasks prior to initiating task order or services performed.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample.
Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Mo difying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. Ci ty preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES
AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate yo ur preparation and submission of certificates of insur ance.
You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as show n on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the polic y. Modifying the certificate does not chan ge coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liab ility and business automobile liability insurance policies and mu st be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES
AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate yo ur preparation and submission of certificates of insur ance.
You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as show n on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start-up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the polic y. Modifying the certificate does not chan ge coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liab ility and business automobile liability insurance policies and mu st be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES
AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provi ded to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address mu st be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insuranc e exhibit identification information completed.
Improperly addressed certificates may de lay the contract start-up date because the City’s practi ce is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial genera l liability and business auto mobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to th e applicable certificate of insuranc e. City preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.
