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. Modifying 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. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached.

Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.5

DATE: February 4, 2025

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Public Project Agreement 32500337 with Langkilde’s Fire Protection Inc. for Maintenance, Inspections and On-Call Minor Repairs for Fire Suppression Systems, Specification No. PW 25-08R.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Langkilde’s Fire Protection Inc. for a three-year term for a total contract amount not to exceed $700,000 for maintenance, inspections, and minor repairs to fire suppression systems at City-owned facilities.

(As of the date of this City Council agenda being posted, there is not yet an outcome from the January 28, 2025 Public Works and Transportation Committee. Staff is available to answer any questions.)

BACKGROUND

The Public Works Department consists of multiple divisions that include: Fleet, Special Districts, Water, Wastewater, Recycled Water, Stormwater, Environmental Resources, Facilities, and Parks. These divisions manage more than 36 building locations that are equipped with fire suppression systems that require annual inspections, maintenance, and repairs to ensure regulatory compliance and safeguard public health, safety, the environment, and City property. These systems include wet sprinkler systems and the associated components designed to detect and suppress fires before causing extensive damage, as well as chemical suppression systems for sensitive areas such as server rooms. All service work and maintenance must be performed by a State licensed Contractor with a Fire Protection Specialized License (C- 16). Fire suppression services are essential for inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, tracking and compliance reporting. As a result, the Public Works Department depends on contracted fire suppression technicians to promptly address scheduled and unscheduled inspections, maintenance, and repairs.

County Fire Protection (dba County First Fire, LLC) has been providing these fire suppression services since December 2021. The most recent two-year agreement, valued at $195,000, enabled City Staff to determine that the City has been averaging approximately $200,000 annually for these services. Recent fire suppression inspections noted that there are eight city facilities in need of repairs, totaling approximately $130,000. Although the County Fire Agreement expires in March of 2026, the not-to-exceed amount has already been met. Therefore, the new Agreement terms and not-to-exceed amount will allow the City to continue these services during this fiscal year and the subsequent years of the three-year term.

DISCUSSION

The Notice Inviting Formal Bids (NIFB) for the Project was originally published in the local newspaper on October 10, 2024, and also posted to multiple online platforms and distributed directly to 21 potential contractors, including the company that is currently under contract for this work. Bids were due on October 28, 2024, and only one bid was received from Langkilde’s Fire Protection. That bid was rejected as non-responsive due to material errors in the bid submission. The rebid of the project was published on November 7, 2024, in the local newspaper. Additionally, the rebid NIFB was posted to multiple online platforms, including the City’s website, and again distributed directly to 21 172
contractors who have registered with the City to be notified of Public Project bids that fall within their license category. All bids were due on November 26, 2024. The City again received a single bid from Langkilde’s Fire Protection Inc. All bid items included the hourly and annual rates for both scheduled and non-scheduled labor with the cumulative amount equaling $2,975.00.

Langkilde’s Fire Protection Inc. (Langkilde’s) submitted a responsive bid in accordance with the City’s NIFB. After this determination, procurement staff reviewed all documentation submitted by Langkilde’s and its subcontractors. Staff verified that the required, currently valid licenses were in place, checked the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for any safety violations, and confirmed registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Based on the available information and the research conducted, staff is confident that the contractor is capable of successfully completing the project. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract for this project to Langkilde’s.

Work under this Agreement will be managed through Task Orders issued by the Project Manager before any work begins during normal business hours. For after-hours work, a Task Order must be submitted by the next business day. The Contractor is required to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and other incidentals necessary to perform both scheduled and unscheduled work for the Public Works Department. All work performed under this agreement will be compensated at prevailing wage rates.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost for this Agreement with Langkilde’s Fire Protection Inc. shall not exceed $700,000 over three years. Costs for these services for the current fiscal year are included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget. These funds are charged to the respective departments and divisions based on the City Council-approved funding within their budgets.

The funds will only be paid for the actual services rendered as part of this Agreement and there are no guaranteed spending amounts. Subsequent fiscal year allocations will be requested during the annual budget process.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME

As of the date of this City Council agenda being posted, there is not yet an outcome from the January 28, 2025 Public Works and Transportation Committee. Staff is available to answer any questions.

Prepared by: Steve Howlett, Assistant Public Works Director

Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Contractual Liability, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage for each claimant for general liability with coverage equivalent to Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability Coverage (Occurrence Form CG 0001).

b. Business Automobile Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage for each claimant for automobile liability with coverage equivalent to Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability Coverage (Occurrence Form CA0001) covering Code No. 1, “any auto;”

Additionally, the workers’ compensation policy shall include a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer may have against the City.

2. Vendor shall, prior to performance of any services, file with the Risk Manager certificates of insurance with original endorsements effecting coverage required by this Exhibit INS-I. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificates and endorsements are to be on the attached forms or on other forms approved by the Risk Manager. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the Risk Manager before work commences. City reserves the right to require complete certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. The certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be sent via email. If you have not received your request or are having difficulty with electronic upload, contact [email protected]

3. Vendor agrees that all insurance coverages shall be provided by a California admitted insurance carrier with an A.M. Best rating of A:VII or better and shall be endorsed to state that coverage may not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, or reduced in coverage or limits without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Risk Manager. The Risk Manager shall not approve or accept any endorsement if the endorsement contains “best effort” modifiers or if the insurer is relieved from the responsibility to give such notice.

4. Vendor agrees that the Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile Liability Insurance policies shall be endorsed to name City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of vendor; products and completed operations of vendor; premises owned, occupied or used by vendor; or automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by vendor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers. The General Liability Special Endorsement Form and Automobile Liability Special Endorsement Form attached to this Exhibit INS-I or substitute forms containing the same information and acceptable to the Risk Manager shall be used to provide the endorsements (ISO form CG 2010 11/85 or if not available, CG 2010 with an edition date prior to 01/04 and CG 2037).

5. The coverages provided to City shall be primary and not contributing to or in excess of any existing City insurance coverages (this must be endorsed). Additionally, the workers’ compensation policy shall include a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer may have against the City. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers. The insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

6. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the Risk Manager. At the option of the Risk Manager, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers, or the vendor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses. 177

5 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. Modifying 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. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.6

DATE: February 4, 2025

TO: City Council

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Lease and License Agreement A-8566 with Oxnard Drainage District #1.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a Lease and License Agreement with Oxnard Drainage District No. 1 for an initial term of five years with additional five-year extension term provisions.

(As of the date of this City Council agenda being posted, there is not yet an outcome from the January 28, 2025 Public Works and Transportation Committee. Staff is available to answer any questions.)

BACKGROUND

The City of Oxnard (City) and the Oxnard Drainage District #1 (District) entered into a Lease Agreement on September 25, 1968, which granted the City the right to use and maintain specific District drainage facilities for stormwater management. The original agreement allowed for stormwater runoff from certain properties within the City limits to drain into District facilities. The City and the District entered into an updated agreement on November 1, 1980, A-3135, which replaced the 1968 agreement, and granted the City the right to use and maintain specific drainage facilities along Doris Avenue and Fifth Street, for stormwater management. In 1986, the parties amended A-3135, because certain requirements under the agreement were either completed or no longer applicable after the development of the Mandalay Bay area. A- 3135 expired on September 25, 2018, and the parties have been operating month-to-month since that time. The City and the District have negotiated a new contract that memorializes important provisions of the original purpose of the agreement for stormwater management purposes and reflects the current requirements for each party. The City is responsible for maintaining the drainage infrastructure, ensuring proper water flow, and implementing necessary improvements, while the District retains oversight and approval rights for major projects.

DISCUSSION

The City and District have finalized a new agreement. The Agreement provides the City a license to use the District’s facilities for stormwater management along Doris Avenue and Fifth Street and access to District Property adjacent to its facilities from which the City can use to conduct necessary operations and maintenance that support the City’s stormwater management needs. The new agreement is for a term of 5 years which begins upon full execution of the agreement after both parties have signed. The estimated start date is early 2025. This Agreement will expire after the initial five-year term, however, the parties may extend the Agreement for another five years after which it will renew automatically. Both parties may terminate the Agreement at any time and upon two years' notice, to allow the City sufficient time to obtain alternative arrangements for stormwater management in the area covered by the Agreement. There is no monetary component to the Agreement, however, the City incurs costs to maintain and operate the District's facilities, in turn for a Lease and License of the facilities and adjacent property.

A long-term alternative to this agreement involves designing and constructing a new underground piping system, within the City’s rights-of-way, to convey stormwater in the areas currently served by the District’s existing infrastructure. A project of this magnitude would cost millions of dollars which would include engineering, construction, and ongoing 197
maintenance. The Public Works Department is working on an update to the Master Plan of Drainage, which will include the contemplation of this long-term alternative. Continuing to utilize the District’s existing infrastructure under this agreement will only cost tens of thousands in staff labor. By leveraging the established system, the City ensures efficient and effective stormwater management by using staff labor.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

Entering into this new agreement has no financial impact as there is no change to the costs for maintaining the applicable ODD #1 infrastructure. The Stormwater Fund (Fund 114) is a combination of the General Fund (Fund 101) and County Stormwater Assessment money, commonly known as Benefit Assessment Units (BAU), that funds the operating budget for all stormwater-related operation and maintenance activities. Labor costs for maintaining applicable ODD #1 infrastructure are included in the City Council approved FY 24-25 Stormwater operating budget. Funding for subsequent fiscal years will be requested through the annual budget process.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME

As of the date of this City Council agenda being posted, there is not yet an outcome from the January 28, 2025 Public Works and Transportation Committee. Staff is available to answer any questions.

BACKGROUND

The Water and Wastewater Divisions utilize consulting firms to provide licensed technical expertise on various subjects within the Waster, Wastewater, and Recycled Water systems. Agreements with these specialty firms are necessary due to the nature and volume of the work within the divisions and will continue to support the departmental needs for various projects. There are currently seven utility on-call professional service agreements. Existing agreements have an initial expiration of January 31, 2025, and in some cases, a time extension has been approved to accommodate open task orders.

The following summary includes the not-to-exceed (NTE) and amount spent as of December 19, 2024:

Pre-approved on-call professional service agreements reduce the amount of time necessary to complete certain types of smaller utility projects. These specialized services include but are not limited to project management, feasibility studies and assessments, design and engineering services, regulatory compliance and permitting, construction management and inspection, operational support and optimization, hydraulic modeling and analysis, sustainability and resource management, community and stakeholder engagement, and reporting and documentation.

DISCUSSION

On September 11, 2024, the Purchasing Department issued a Request for Qualification (RFQ) 25-29 for On-Call Professional Engineering Services. The RFQ was directly sent to six potential vendors and published on www.PublicPurchase.com as well as the City’s Purchasing website. Proposals were due October 17, 2024, and a total of 15 proposals were received from the following vendors:

Aecom Advanced Hydro Engineering Brown & Caldwell
Cannon Carollo Engineers, Inc. Dudek
Filippin Engineering Geosyntec Consultants GHD
Kennedy Jenks Consultants MKN & Associates MNS Engineers Stantec Consulting Services, Inc Water Systems Consulting Woodard & Curran

A panel that consisted of the Wastewater Division Manager, Interim Water Division Manager, and Assistant Director of Public Works selected 10 firms with a determination that the vendors in the above Recommendation section are the highest-ranked proposers based on the scoring criteria listed in the RFQ. Scoring criteria consisted of company profile, assigned staff, relevant experience and overall responsiveness that best met the City’s criteria from the RFQ, consistent with the City’s municipal code. Additionally, the awarded vendors meet all required City contractual provisions, including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates, and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the awarded vendors are capable of satisfactorily performing On-Call Professional Services to the Water, Wastewater, and Recycled Water facilities.

Professional services under these agreements 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. Once the City has received all proposals, they will review each and make a selection of the firm based on factors that include price, experience, methods, and schedule.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

209
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost for each agreement shall not exceed $1,000,000 over five years if extended.

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 must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insuran ce exhibit identification information completed.

Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract st art-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. Modifying 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. 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 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. Modifying 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. 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.
